Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are longer than >?200 nt, perform various functions in a variety of important biological processes. The aim of this study is the investigation of relative expression levels of AK372815 putative pyridoxal reductase (PLR) gene and sense lncRNA AK370814 on four barley genotypes (Hasat, Beysehir 99, Konevi 98 and Tarm 92) in response to 150 mM salinity application during 3 days post-germination. Seeds were placed randomly in petri dishes containing (a) only H2O (control), (b) 150 mM NaCl, for 72 h. RNA isolation was carried out using TriPure® reagent from 150 mM salt-treated root and shoot samples. Relative expression levels of AK372815 PLR and sense lncRNA AK370814 were determined by qPCR. Results demonstrated that salinity affected the expression levels of both AK372815 PLR gene and sense lncRNA AK370814 during germination. Although expression levels of AK372815 PLR tended to be down-regulated under salinity, expression levels of sense lncRNA AK370814 were up-regulated. Another goal of this study is improvement of alternative approach to NGS technologies for determination of relative expression levels of sense lncRNAs under particular circumstances. This is the first report that demonstrates a relationship between lncRNA and vitamin B6 salvage pathway.  相似文献

Growth, ionic responses, and expression of candidate genes to salinity stress were examined in two perennial ryegrass accessions differing in salinity tolerance. The salinity tolerant (PI265349) and sensitive accessions (PI231595) were subjected to 75-mM NaCl for 14 days in a growth chamber. Across two accessions, salinity stress increased shoot dry weight and concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) and Na+ in the shoots and roots, but decreased shoot Ca2+ and root K+ concentrations. Salinity stress also increased root expressions of SOS1, PIP1, and TIP1. Plant height and chlorophyll content were unaffected by salinity stress in the tolerant accession but significantly decreased in the sensitive accession. Shoot MDA content did not change in the tolerant accession but increased in the sensitive accession. A more dramatic increase in Na+ was found in the roots of the sensitive accession. Relative to the control, salinity stress reduced expression of SOS1, NHX1, PIP1, and TIP1 in the shoots but increased expression of these genes in the roots of the tolerant accession. Expression levels of SOS1 increased in the roots and expression of NHX1 increased in the shoots but decreased in the roots of the sensitive accession under salinity stress. A decline in PIP1 expression in the shoots and dramatic increases in TIP expression in both shoots and roots were found in the sensitive accession under salinity stress. The results suggested maintenance of plant growth and leaf chlorophyll content, lesser Na+ accumulation in the roots, and lower lipid peroxidation in the shoots which could be associated with salinity tolerance. The decreased expressions of SOS1, NHX1, and TIP1 in the shoots, and increased expressions of NHX1 and PIP1 in the roots might also be related to salinity tolerance in perennial ryegrass.  相似文献

Sixty seven-days-old plants of Ammi majus L. were subjected for 46 d to sand culture at varying concentrations of NaCl, i.e. 0 (control), 40, 80, 120, and 160 mM. Increasing salt concentrations caused a significant reduction in fresh and dry masses of both shoots and roots as well as seed yield. However, the adverse effect of salt was more pronounced on seed yield than biomass production at the vegetative stage. Calculated 50 % reduction in shoot dry mass occurred at 156 mM (ca.15.6 mS cm?1), whereas that in seed yield was at 104 mM (ca.10.4 mS cm?1). As in most glycophytes, Na+ and Cl? in both shoots and roots increased, whereas K+ and Ca2+ decreased consistently with the successive increase in salt level of the growth medium. Plants of A. majusmaintained markedly higher K+/Na+ ratios in the shoots than those in the roots, and the ratio remained more than 1 even at the highest external salt level (160 mM). Net photosynthetic (PN) and transpiration (E) rates remained unaffected at increasing NaCl, and thus these attributes had a negative association with salt tolerance of A. majus. Proline content in the shoots increased markedly at the higher concentrations of salt. Essential oil content in the seed decreased consistently with increase in external salt level. Overall, A. majusis a moderately salt tolerant crop whose response to salinity is associated with maintenance of high shoot K+/Na+ ratio and accumulation of proline in shoots, but PN had a negative association with the salt tolerance of this crop.  相似文献

The beneficial root-colonizing fungus Piriformospora indica stimulates root development of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris subsp. Chinensis) and this is accompanied by the up-regulation of a τ-class glutathione (GSH)-S-transferase gene (BcGSTU) (Lee et al. 2011) in the roots. BcGSTU expression is further promoted by osmotic (salt and PEG) and heat stress. Ectopic expression of BcGSTU in Arabidopsis under the control of the 35S promoter results in the promotion of root and shoot growth as well as better performance of the plants under abiotic (150 mM NaCl, PEG, 42?°C) and biotic (Alternaria brassicae infection) stresses. Higher levels of glutathione, auxin and stress-related (salicylic and jasmonic acid) phytohormones as well as changes in the gene expression profile result in better performance of the BcGSTU expressors upon exposure to stress. Simultaneously the plants are primed against upcoming stresses. We propose that BcGSTU is a target of P. indica in Chinese cabbage roots because the enzyme participates in balancing growth and stress responses, depending on the equilibrium of the symbiotic interaction. A comparable function of BcGST in transgenic Arabidopsis makes the enzyme a valuable tool for agricultural applications.  相似文献

Salt stress imposes a major environmental threat to agriculture, therefore, understanding the basic physiology and genetics of cell under salt stress is crucial for developing any breeding strategy. In the present study, the expression profile of genes involved in ion homeostasis including salt overly sensitive (HvSOS1, HvSOS2, HvSOS3), vacuolar Na+/H+ antiporter (HvNHX1), and H+-ATPase (HVA) along with ion content measurement were investigated in two genotypes of Hordeum vulgare under 300 mM NaCl. The gene expressions were measured in the roots and shoots of a salt-tolerant mutant genotype M4-73-30 and in its wild-type cv. Zarjou by real-time qPCR technique. The critical differences between the salt-tolerant mutant and its wild-type were observed in the expressions of HvSOS1 (105-fold), HvSOS2 (24-fold), HvSOS3 (31-fold), and HVA (202-fold) genes in roots after 6-h exposure to NaCl. The parallel early up-regulation of these genes in root samples of the salt-tolerant mutant genotype indicated induction of Na+/H+ antiporters activity and Na+ exclusion into apoplast and vacuole. The earlier up-regulation of HvSOS1, HVA, and HvNHX1 genes in shoot of the wild-type genotype corresponded to the relative accumulation of Na+ which was not observed in salt-tolerant mutant genotype because of efficient inhibitory role of the root in Na+ transport to the shoot. In conclusion, the lack of similarity in gene expression patterns between the two genotypes with similar genetic background may confirm the hypothesis that mutation breeding could change the ability of salt-tolerant mutant genotype for efficient ion homeostasis via salinity oversensitivity response.  相似文献

More than 20% of irrigated land has been influenced by salt stress, decreasing crop production. In this research, we investigated the effect of different levels of salinity (0, 50, 100 and 150 mM NaCl) and the efficiency of Piriformospora indica on growth, biochemical traits, antioxidative defense system in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). NaCl stress reduced chlorophyll content, height and biomass of plants. Higher level of salinity (150 mM) declined the plant height by 22.65%, total dry weight by 56.44% and total chlorophyll by 44.34%, however, P. indica inoculation raised plant height by 43.47%, dry weight by 69.23% and total chlorophyll content by 48.09%. Salinity stress increased H2O2, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide anion and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) level in leaves and roots tomato seedlings. However, P. indica inoculation reduced H2O2, MDA and superoxide anion and enhanced DPPH compared to non-inoculated plants at all NaCl levels. The total phenol and flavonoids increased with NaCl treatment. On the other hand, the total phenolic and flavonoid increased more in P. indica inoculated plants compared to non-inoculated ones. Moreover, inoculation of P. indica implicated noteworthy improvement of superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), and glutathione reductase (GR) activity in tomato upon salinity. Notably, colonization with P. indica significantly improved the content of reduced ascorbic acid (AsA), glutathione (GSH) and redox ratio in the tomato plants under salinity resulting in reduced redox state. Our findings confirmed that salinity had negative effect on tomato seedling; however, P. indica inoculation increased tolerance to salinity by improving the content of phenolic compounds, non-enzymatic antioxidants, and increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes.  相似文献

Piriformospora indica, a root endophytic fungus, has been reported to promote growth of many plants under normal condition and allow the plants to survive under stress conditions. However, its impact on an important medicinal plant Aloe vera L. has not been well studied. Therefore, this study was undertaken to investigate the effect of P. indica on salinity stress tolerance of A. vera plant. P. indica inoculated and non-inoculated A. vera plantlets were subjected to four levels of salinity treatment- 0, 100, 200 and 300 mM NaCl. The salinity stress decreased the ability of the fungus to colonize roots of A. vera but the interaction of A. vera with P. indica resulted in an overall increase in plant biomass and greater shoot and root length as well as number of shoots and roots. The photosynthetic pigment (Chl a, Chl b and total Chl) and gel content were significantly higher for the fungus inoculated A. vera plantlets, at respective salinity concentrations. Furthermore, the inoculated plantlets had higher phenol, flavonoid, flavonol, aloin contents and radical scavenging activity at all salinity concentrations. The higher phenolic and flavonoid content may help the plants ameliorate oxidative stress resulting from high salinity.  相似文献

The understanding of physio-biochemical and molecular attributes along with morphological traits contributing to the salinity tolerance is important for developing salt-tolerant rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties. To explore these facts, rice genotypes CSR10 and MI48 with contrasting salt tolerance were characterized under salt stress (control, 75 and 150 mM NaCl) conditions. CSR10 expressed higher rate of physio-biochemical parameters, maintained lower Na/K ratio in shoots, and restricted Na translocation from roots to shoots than MI48. The higher expression of genes related to the osmotic module (DREB2A and LEA3) and ionic module (HKT2;1 and SOS1) in roots of CSR10 suppresses the stress, enhances electrolyte leakage, promotes the higher compatible solute accumulation, and maintains cellular ionic homeostasis leading to better salt stress tolerance than MI48. This study further adds on the importance of these genes in salt tolerance by comparing their behaviour in contrasting rice genotypes and utilizing specific marker to identify salinity-tolerant accessions/donors among germplasm; overexpression of these genes which accelerate the selection procedure precisely has been shown.  相似文献

The peculiarities of root growth and stress tolerance of transgenic tobacco plants with constitutive expression of NtEXPA1 and NtEXPA5 genes, as well as plants with reduced expression of NtEXPA4 gene encoding α-expansins of Nicotiana tabacum, were studied during prolonged cultivation under conditions of drought, salinity, and low positive temperatures. Increased expression of expansin genes led to an increase in the growth rate and root length both under normal plant growth conditions and at 12°C and 50 mM NaCl. Increased expression of expansin genes influenced the changes in the fresh and dry mass of a shoot, leading to an increase in their exposure to hypothermia. Transgenic plants with a reduced level of NtEXPA4 expansin gene expression were characterized by a reduction in the fresh and dry weight of a shoot due to drought and low positive temperatures. The totality of the data obtained may indicate the involvement of NtEXPA1, NtEXPA4, and NtEXPA5 tobacco expansin genes in the regulation of growth under hypothermia, drought, and salinity.  相似文献

The role of spore associated bacteria of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in improving plant growth and alleviating salt stress is a potential area to explore. In the present study, 22 bacteria isolated from the spore walls of AMF were identified to contain 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase. These were tested for their ability to improve seed germination and alleviate salt stress in the early growth of maize. Among the isolates, 19 bacteria that were able to grow at 4?% NaCl were used for germination assay. Two bacteria and seven bacteria significantly improved maize seed germination at 100 mM NaCl and 200 mM NaCl, respectively. Based on the presence of plant growth promoting (PGP) characters and the ability to improve seed germination, five strains were chosen for further experiments. At 0 mM NaCl, all the strains were able to increase maize shoot and root growth significantly. At 25 mM NaCl, except for Bacillus aryabhattai S210B15, all the strains were able to increase shoot and root growth significantly. At 50 mM NaCl, Bacillus aryabhattai S110B3 and B. aryabhattai S210B15 significantly improved shoot length, whereas, Pseudomonas koreensis S2CB35 and B. aryabhattai S210B15 significantly increased root length. Although salinity increased ethylene production in maize, bacterial inoculation significantly reduced the ethylene level at 0, 25 and 50 mM NaCl. Among the five strains, only P. koreensis S2CB35 showed the presence of PGP functional traits of nifH, acdS and nodA genes.  相似文献

Plant leucine-rich repeats receptor-like kinases (LRR-RLKs) play key roles in plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stresses. However, the functions of LRR-RLKs in bryophytes are still not well documented. Here, a putative LRR-RLK gene, PnLRR-RLK, was cloned and characterized from the Antarctic moss Pohlia nutans. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that PnLRR-RLK protein was clustered with the Arabidopsis thaliana LRR XI family proteins. Subcellular localization analysis of PnLRR-RLK revealed that it was mainly localized on plasma membrane. The expression of PnLRR-RLK was induced by mock high salinity, cold, drought, and exogenously supplied abscisic acid (ABA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA). Meanwhile, the overexpression of PnLRR-RLK showed an increased tolerance of transgenic Arabidopsis to salt and ABA stresses than that of the wild type (WT) plants. Furthermore, the expression levels of several salt tolerance genes (AtHKT1, AtSOS3, AtP5CS1, and AtADH1) and an ABA negatively regulating gene AtABI1 were significantly increased in transgenic plants. Meanwhile, the expression levels of ABA biosynthesis genes (AtNCED3, AtABA1, and AtAAO3) and ABA early response genes (AtMYB2, AtRD22, AtRD29A, and AtDREB2A) were decreased in transgenic Arabidopsis after salt stress treatment. Therefore, these results suggested that PnLRR-RLK might involve in regulating salt stress-related and ABA-dependent signaling pathway, thereby contribute to the salinity tolerance of the Antarctic moss P. nutans.  相似文献
