Novel Drought-Inducible Genes in the Highly Drought-Tolerant Cowpea: Cloning of cDNAs and Analysis of the Expression of the Corresponding Genes

Ten cDNAs of genes that were induced by dehydration stress werecloned by differential screening from the highly drought-tolerantlegume, cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), a major crop in West Africa.The clones were collectively named CPRD (cowpea clones responsiveto dehydration). Northern blot analysis revealed that nine ofthe CPRD genes were induced by dehydration stress, but the timingof induction of mRNA synthesis varied among the CPRD genes.We analyzed the effects of other environmental stresses on theexpression of the CPRD8, CPRD14 and CPRD22 genes, and we foundthat these genes were strongly induced by high-salinity stressbut not by cold or heat stress. Drought-stressed cowpea plantsaccumulated abscisic acid (ABA) to a level that was 160 timeshigher than that in unstressed plants. The CPRD8 and CPRD22genes were induced to a significant extent by the applicationof exogenous ABA but the CPRD14 gene was not. These resultsindicate the existence of at least two signal-transduction pathwaysbetween the detection of water stress and the expression ofCPRD genes in cowpea. Sequence analysis of CPRD8 and CPRD22cDNAs revealed that they encoded putative proteins that wererelated to old yellow enzyme and group 2 LEA proteins, respectively.The protein encoded by CPRD14 exhibited sequence homology todihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR) and vestitone reductase (VR).Old yellow enzyme, DFR and VR have not been identified as drought-inducibleproteins in other plants, whereas LEA genes have been well characterizedas drought-inducible genes. The various gene products mightfunction to protect cells from environmental stress. (Received April 17, 1996; Accepted August 28, 1996)

Characterization, Molecular Cloning, and Differential Expression Analysis of Laccase Genes from the Edible Mushroom Lentinula edodes

The effect of different substrates and various developmental stages (mycelium growth, primordium appearance, and fruiting-body formation) on laccase production in the edible mushroom Lentinula edodes was studied. The cap of the mature mushroom showed the highest laccase activity, and laccase activity was not stimulated by some well-known laccase inducers or sawdust. For our molecular studies, two genomic DNA sequences, representing allelic variants of the L. edodes lac1 gene, were isolated, and DNA sequence analysis demonstrated that lac1 encodes a putative polypeptide of 526 amino acids which is interrupted by 13 introns. The two allelic genes differ at 95 nucleotides, which results in seven amino acid differences in the encoded protein. The copper-binding domains found in other laccase enzymes are conserved in the L. edodes Lac1 proteins. A fragment of a second laccase gene (lac2) was also isolated, and competitive PCR showed that expression of lac1 and lac2 genes was different under various conditions. Our results suggest that laccases may play a role in the morphogenesis of the mushroom. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the cloning of genes involved in lignocellulose degradation in this economically important edible fungus.     

Molecular Cloning and Expression Analysis of Nine ThTrx Genes in Tamarix hispida

Thioredoxins are small conserved proteins that play key roles in the oxidative stress response. In this study, nine Trx genes, including five Trxhs, three Trxms, and one Trx-like gene, were cloned from Tamarix hispida. The roles of these ThTrx genes were investigated under various abiotic stress conditions. Expression profiles of the nine ThTrx genes in response to different abiotic stresses in leaf and root tissues were constructed using quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction. Differential expression of all nine ThTrx genes was observed (>2-fold) in response to NaCl, PEG, or CdCl₂ stress in at least one tissue, indicating that all of these genes act in abiotic stress responses. All ThTrx genes were induced (>2-fold) by abscisic acid (ABA) treatment in the leaves and especially in the roots, suggesting that ABA-dependent signaling pathways regulate ThTrxs. These results demonstrate that ThTrx expression constitutes an adaptive response to abiotic stress in T. hispida and plays an important role in abiotic stress tolerance.
