Abstract:
High salinity causes severe damage to plant growth and significantly reduces crop yields. The CCX family proteins can facilitate the transport of multiple ions to prevent toxicity. CCX proteins play an important role in regulating plant salt tolerance, but no detailed studies on CCX proteins in apples have been reported. Here, the CCX family gene MdCCX1 was cloned from apple (Malus domestica). It is constitutively expressed in various apple tissues and is significantly induced by salt stress. As a plasma membrane-localized protein, MdCCX1-overexpression could complement the Na+-sensitive phenotype of yeast mutants and reduce the Na+ content in yeast cells under NaCl treatment, suggesting that MdCCX1 could be a plasma membrane-localized Na+ transporter. To identify the function of MdCCX1 in salt response, we transformed this gene into Arabidopsis, apple calli, and apple plants. Overexpression of MdCCX1 significantly improved the salt tolerance of these transgenic materials. The significantly reduced Na+ content under NaCl treatment indicated that MdCCX1 overexpression could enhance plant salt tolerance by inhibiting the excessive accumulation of Na+. Besides, MdCCX1 overexpression could also enhance plant salt tolerance by promoting ROS scavenging. These findings provide new insight and rich resources for future studies of CCX proteins in plant species.Dark-grown transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings expressing the C-terminal domains (CCT) of the cryptochrome (CRY) blue light photoreceptors exhibit features that are normally associated only with light-grown seedlings, indicating that the signaling mechanism of Arabidopsis CRY is mediated through CCT. The phenotypic properties mediated by CCT are remarkably similar to those of the constitutive photomorphogenic1 (cop1) mutants. Here we show that Arabidopsis cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) and its C-terminal domain (CCT1) interacted strongly with the COP1 protein. Coimmunoprecipitation studies showed that CRY1 was bound to COP1 in extracts from both dark- and light-grown Arabidopsis. An interaction also was observed between the C-terminal domain of Arabidopsis phytochrome B and COP1, suggesting that phytochrome signaling also proceeds, at least in part, through direct interaction with COP1. These findings give new insight into the initial step in light signaling in Arabidopsis, providing a molecular link between the blue light receptor, CRY1, and COP1, a negative regulator of photomorphogenesis.

Pathogen perception by plants is mediated by plasma membrane-localized immune receptors that have varied extracellular domains. Lectin receptor kinases (LecRKs) are among these receptors and are subdivided into 3 classes, C-type LecRKs (C-LecRKs), L-type LecRKs (L-LecRKs) and G-type LecRKs (G-LecRKs). While C-LecRKs are represented by one or two members in all plant species investigated and have unknown functions, L-LecRKs have been characterized in a few plant species and have been shown to play roles in plant defense against pathogens. Whereas Arabidopsis G-LecRKs have been characterized, this family of LecRKs has not been studied in tomato.This investigation updates the current characterization of Arabidopsis G-LecRKs and characterizes the tomato G-LecRKs, using LecRKs from the monocot rice and the basal eudicot columbine to establish a basis for comparisons between the two core eudicots. Additionally, revisiting parameters established for Arabidopsis nomenclature for LecRKs is suggested for both Arabidopsis and tomato. Moreover, using phylogenetic analysis, we show the relationship among and between members of G-LecRKs from all three eudicot plant species. Furthermore, investigating presence of motifs in G-LecRKs we identified conserved motifs among members of G-LecRKs in tomato and Arabidopsis, with five present in at least 30 of the 38 Arabidopsis members and in at least 45 of the 73 tomato members.This work characterized tomato G-LecRKs and added members to the currently characterized Arabidopsis G-LecRKs. Additionally, protein sequence analysis showed an expansion of this family in tomato as compared to Arabidopsis, and the existence of conserved common motifs in the two plant species as well as conserved species-specific motifs.

A phenotype-based screening of the T1 transgenic Arabidopsis population transformed by overexpression constructs of the entire poplar MYB transcription factor family found that overexpression of a poplar MYB transcription factor, PtrMYB012, in Arabidopsis resulted in upwardly curled rosette leaves, dwarfism and male sterility. Sequence analysis identified that PtrMYB012 is homologous to the Arabidopsis GAMYB genes (e.g., AtMYB65 and AtMYB33). Gene expression analysis revealed that PtrMYB012 is specifically expressed in floral tissues, especially in male catkins, similar to AtMYB65. It was well known that Arabidopsis GAMYBs are negatively regulated by microRNA159 (miR159) during vegetative growth; thus, the typical phenotypes of upwardly curled leaves, dwarfism and male sterility were only shown in overexpression of GAMYBs with mutations in the miR159 target sequence. To confirm our phenotypic consequences, we independently re-produced transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing PtrMYB012 without mutations in the miR159 target sequence. The resulting 35 S::PtrMYB012 Arabidopsis plants phenocopied the previous transgenic Arabidopsis plants, suggesting that PtrMYB012 is probably not a target of Arabidopsis miR159 despite containing the conserved miR159 target sequence. To gain further insight, we produced transgenic poplars overexpressing the intact PtrMYB012. As a result, no conspicuous phenotype was found in 35 S::PtrMYB012 poplar plants. These results suggest that PtrMYB012 transcripts are down-regulated by miR159 in poplar but not in Arabidopsis. Indeed, subsequent 5'-RACE analysis confirmed that PtrMYB012 transcripts are completely degraded in poplar, probably by miR159, but not in Arabidopsis. These results suggest that species-specific family members of miR159 are important for the regulation of normal growth and development in plants.

Salinity is an important environmental constraint to crop productivity in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. The evaluation of the responses to salinity of different Arabidopsis ecotypes or transgenic lines is important to identify and investigate the role of different key genes. These new characterized genes involved in the response to salinity stress are of great interest to be incorporated in crops breeding programs. Here we provide a reproducible method to evaluate the performance of Arabidopsis lines to salinity stress by analysing primary and lateral root growth and fresh weight of plants grown under in vitro conditions in growth chambers. Even though NaCl is the most frequent used salinity tests, other salts (e.g. KCl, MgCl2) can be also evaluated by this method. Arabidopsis plants can be maintained for 15-20 days in these conditions, although effects on growth and biomass can be observed, depending on the used salt and concentration, within the first 10 days.

GmSNAP18 and GmSHMT08 are two major genes conferring soybean cyst nematode (SCN) resistance in soybean. Overexpression of either of these two soybean genes would enhance the susceptibility of Arabidopsis to beet cyst nematode (BCN), while overexpression of either of their corresponding orthologs in Arabidopsis, AtSNAP2 and AtSHMT4, would suppress it. However, the mechanism by which these two pairs of orthologous genes boost or inhibit BCN susceptibility of Arabidopsis still remains elusive. In this study, Arabidopsis with simultaneously overexpressed GmSNAP18 and GmSHMT0 suppressed the growth of underground as well as above-ground parts of plants. Furthermore, Arabidopsis that simultaneously overexpressed GmSNAP18 and GmSHMT08 substantially stimulated BCN susceptibility and remarkably suppressed expression of AtPR1 in the salicylic acid signaling pathway. However, simultaneous overexpression of GmSNAP18 and GmSHMT08 did not impact the expression of AtJAR1 and AtHEL1 in the jasmonic acid and ethylene signaling pathways. GmSNAP18, GmSHMT08, and a pathogenesis-related (PR) protein, GmPR08-Bet VI, in soybean, and AtSNAP2, AtSHMT4, and AtPR1 in Arabidopsis could interact pair-wisely for mediating SCN and BCN resistance in soybean and Arabidopsis, respectively. Both AtSNAP2 and AtPR1 were localized on the plasma membrane, and AtSHMT4 was localized both on the plasma membrane and in the nucleus of cells. Nevertheless, after interactions, AtSNAP2 and AtPR1 could partially translocate into the cell nucleus. GmSNAP18 interacted with AtSHMT4, and GmSHMT4 interacted with AtSNAP2. However, neither GmSNAP18 nor GmSHMT08 interacted with AtPR1. Thus, no pairwise interactions among α-SNAPs, SHMTs, and AtPR1 occurred in Arabidopsis overexpressing either GmSNAP18 or GmSHMT08, or both of them. Transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing either GmSNAP18 or GmSHMT08 substantially suppressed AtPR1 expression, while transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing either AtSNAP2 or AtSHMT4 remarkably enhanced it. Taken together, no pairwise interactions of GmSNAP18, GmSHMT08, and AtPR1 with suppressed expression of AtPR1 enhanced BCN susceptibility in Arabidopsis. This study may provide a clue that nematode-resistant or -susceptible functions of plant genes likely depend on both hosts and nematode species.

In Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), nonhost resistance (NHR) is influenced by both leaf age and the moment of inoculation. While the circadian clock and photoperiod have been linked to the time-dependent regulation of NHR in Arabidopsis, the mechanism underlying leaf age-dependent NHR remains unclear. In this study, we investigated leaf age-dependent NHR to Pyricularia oryzae in Arabidopsis. Our findings revealed that this NHR type is regulated by both miR156-dependent and miR156-independent pathways. To identify the key players, we utilized rice-FOX Arabidopsis lines and identified the rice HD-Zip I OsHOX6 gene. Notably, OsHOX6 expression confers robust NHR to P. oryzae and Colletotrichum nymphaeae in Arabidopsis, with its effect being contingent upon leaf age. Moreover, we explored the role of AtHB7 and AtHB12, the Arabidopsis closest homologues of OsHOX6, by studying mutants and overexpressors in Arabidopsis-C. higginsianum interaction. AtHB7 and AtHB12 were found to contribute to both penetration resistance and post-penetration resistance to C. higginsianum in a leaf age- and time-dependent manner. These findings highlight the involvement of HD-Zip I AtHB7 and AtHB12, well-known regulators of development and abiotic stress responses, in biotic stress responses in Arabidopsis.
