AbstractPotato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a cool season crop which is susceptible to both drought and heat stresses. Lack of suitable varieties of the crop adapted to drought-prone areas of the lowland tropics deprives farmers living in such areas the opportunity to produce and use the crop as a source of food and income. As a step towards developing such varieties, the present research was conducted to evaluate different potato genotypes for osmotic stress tolerance under in vitro conditions and identify drought tolerant genotypes for future field evaluation. The experiment was carried out at the Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany, by inducing osmotic stress using sorbitol at two concentrations (0.1 and 0.2 M) in the culture medium. A total of 43 genotypes collected from different sources (27 advanced clones from CIP, nine improved varieties, and seven farmers’ cultivars) were used in a completely randomized design with four replications in two rounds. Data were collected on root and shoot growth. The results revealed that the main effects of genotype, sorbitol treatment, and their interactions significantly (P < 0.01) influenced root and shoot growthrelated traits. Under osmotic stress, all the measured root and shoot growth traits were significantly correlated. The dendrogram obtained from the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean allowed grouping of the genotypes into tolerant, moderately tolerant, and susceptible ones to a sorbitol concentration of 0.2 M in the culture medium. Five advanced clones (CIP304350.100, CIP304405.47, CIP392745.7, CIP388676.1, and CIP388615.22) produced shoots and rooted earlier than all other genotypes, with higher root numbers, root length, shoot and root mass under osmotic stress conditions induced by sorbitol. Some of these genotypes had been previously identified as drought-tolerant under field conditions, suggesting the capacity of the in vitro evaluation method to predict drought stress tolerant genotypes. Most of the genotypes collected from Ethiopia were found to be susceptible to osmotic stress, except one farmers’ cultivar (Dadafa) and two improved varieties (Zemen and Belete). Field evaluation of the tested materials under drought conditions would confirm the capacity of osmotic stress tolerant genotypes to perform well under drought-prone conditions and the potential interest of in vitro evaluation as a pre-screening component in potato breeding programs.

Salt And Osmotic Stress

Almost all abiotic stresses induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) overaccumulation, causing oxidative damages to plant cells. Catalase (CAT) plays a vital role in plant oxidative stress tolerance by scavenging stress-induced excess H2O2; thus, the identification of factors regulating catalase function will shed light on the underlying regulatory mechanisms. Here, we identified leucine aminopeptidase 2 (LAP2) as a novel CAT2-interacting protein and showed a mutual promotion effect of the two proteins in plant stress responses. LAP2 has a physical interaction with CAT2 in plant cells. The loss-of-function mutant of LAP2, lap2-3, is hypersensitive to salt or osmotic stress with increased ROS accumulation and malondialdehyde content and decreased catalase activity. The lap2-3 mutant has less CAT2 protein levels as CAT2 protein stability is impaired in the mutant. Scavenging excess ROS by glutathione or overexpressing CAT2 in the lap2-3 mutant recovers its hypersensitive phenotype to salt or osmotic stress. Further study showed that CAT2 promotes LAP2 hydrolysis activity with leucine-4-methylcoumaryl-7-amides as a substrate in vivo and in vitro, and thus, similar to the lap2-3 mutant, the cat2-1 mutant also has lower γ-aminobutyric acid content than the wild type. Together, our study reveals mutual promotion effects of CAT2 and LAP2 in conferring plant salt and osmotic stress tolerance.

Osmotic Stress Tolerance

Flavonoids are mainly associated with growth, development, and responses to diverse abiotic stresses in plants. A growing amount of data have demonstrated the biosynthesis of flavonoids through multienzyme complexes of which the membrane‐bounded cytochrome P450 supergene family shares a crucial part. However, the explicit regulation mechanism of Cytochrome P450s related to flavonoid biosynthesis largely remains elusive. In the present study, we reported the identification of a stress-tolerant flavonoid biosynthetic CtCYP82G24 gene from Carthamus tinctorius. The transient transformation of CtCYP82G24 determined the subcellular localization to the cytosol. Heterologously expressed CtCYP82G24 was effective to catalyze the substrate-specific conversion, promoting the de novo biosynthesis of flavonoids in vitro. Furthermore, a qRT-PCR assay and the accumulation of metabolites demonstrated that the expression of CtCYP82G24 was effectively induced by Polyethylene glycol stress in transgenic Arabidopsis. In addition, the overexpression of CtCYP82G24 could also trigger expression levels of several other flavonoid biosynthetic genes in transgenic plants. Taken together, our findings suggest that CtCYP82G24 overexpression plays a decisive regulatory role in PEG-induced osmotic stress tolerance and alleviates flavonoid accumulation in transgenic Arabidopsis.
