Leaf Coloration

Shumard oak (Quercus shumardii Buckley) is a traditional foliage plant, but little is known about its regulatory mechanism of yellow leaf coloration. Here, the yellow leaf variety of Q. shumardii named ‘Zhongshan Hongjincai’ (identified as ‘ZH’ throughout this work) and a green leaf variety named ‘Shumard oak No. 23’ (identified as ‘SO’ throughout this work) were compared. ‘ZH’ had lower chlorophyll content and higher carotenoid content; photosynthetic characteristics and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were also lower. Moreover, the mesophyll cells of ‘ZH’ showed reduced number of chloroplasts and some structural damage. In addition, transcriptomic analysis identified 39,962 differentially expressed genes, and their expression levels were randomly verified. Expressions of chlorophyll biosynthesis-related glumly-tRNA reductase gene and Mg-chelatase gene were decreased, while pheophorbide a oxygenase gene associated with chlorophyll degradation was up-regulated in ‘ZH’. Simultaneously, carotenoid isomerase gene, z-carotene desaturase gene, violaxanthin de-epoxidase gene and zeaxanthin epoxidase gene involved in carotenoid biosynthesis were up-regulated in ‘ZH’. These gene expression changes were accompanied by decreased chlorophyll content and enhanced carotenoid accumulation in ‘ZH’. Consequently, changes in the ratio of carotenoids to chlorophyll could be driving the yellow leaf coloration in Q. shumardii.

Expression Of Genes

Glucosinolates (GSs) and carotenoids are important plant secondary metabolites present in several plant species, including arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Although genotypic and environmental regulation of GSs and carotenoid compounds has been reported, few studies present data on their regulation at the molecular level. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore differential expression of genes associated with GSs and carotenoids in arabidopsis in response to selenium fertilization, shown previously to impact accumulations of both classes of metabolites in Brassica species. Arabidopsis was grown under 0.0 or 10.0 μM Na2SeO4 in hydroponic culture. Shoot and root tissue samples were collected before anthesis to measure GSs and carotenoid compounds and conduct gene expression analysis. Gene expression was determined using arabidopsis oligonucleotide chips containing more than 31,000 genes. There were 1274 differentially expressed genes in response to selenium (Se), of which 516 genes were upregulated. Ontology analysis partitioned differentially expressed genes into 20 classes. Biosynthesis pathway analysis using AraCyc revealed that four GSs, one carotenoid, and one chlorophyll biosynthesis pathways were invoked by the differentially expressed genes. Involvement of the same gene in more than one biosynthesis pathway indicated that the same enzyme may be involved in multiple GS biosynthesis pathways. The decrease in carotenoid biosynthesis under Se treatment occurred through the downregulation of phytoene synthase at the beginning of the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. These findings may be useful to modify the GS and carotenoid levels in arabidopsis and may lead to modification in agriculturally important plant species.

Abstract Background: Light is a key regulatory signal for rice growth and development. Under dark stress, rice shows leaf yellowing. Whole genome transcriptomic analysis will identify differentially expressed genes (DEG) in dark-treated rice seedlings and DEG-enriched metabolic pathways. Rice leaf color is an essential agronomic trait. Traditional genetic experiments have reported over a hundred of leaf color control (LCC) genes and some of them were also regulated by light signal. Thus, an integrated analysis for the two set of data will be helpful for illustration of the mechanism for both dark-response and leaf color control.Results: Transcriptome changes in response to dark treatment were surveyed by RNA-Seq analysis. About 13,115 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. One hundred and fifty rice LCC genes were collected. It was found that 102 LCC genes (68.0%) were also dark-response DEGs, which suggests an overlap between dark response and LCC networks. Fifty DEG overlapped LCC genes was associated with chloroplast development. KEGG analysis revealed enrichment of LCC genes in porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism (PCM) (18/44, 40.9%). Of the 18 LCC genes in the PCM pathway, 15 were dark-response DEGs (83.3%). More interestingly, all of them are involved in a central PCM sub-pathway, chlorophyll biosynthesis.Conclusions: Integrated analysis for dark stress-response and leaf color control identified the correlation between the two processes and mutually supported evidences were obtained. It was found that PCM pathway, particularly chlorophyll biosynthesis process, plays important roles in rice LCC and dark stress-response. This study provides important clues for understanding the mechanisms of dark response and leaf color control and identifying additional LCC genes.

Chlorophylls, green pigments in chloroplasts, are essential for photosynthesis. Reduction in chlorophyll content may result in retarded growth, dwarfism, and sterility. In this study, a yellow-green leaf mutant of maize, indicative of abnormity in chlorophyll content, was identified. The physiological parameters of this mutant were measured. Next, global gene expression of this mutant was determined using transcriptome analysis and compared to that of wild-type maize plants. The yellow-green leaf mutant of maize was found to contain lower contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid compounds. It contained fewer active PSII centers and displayed lower values of original chlorophyll fluorescence parameters than the wild-type plants. The real-time fluorescence yield, the electron transport rate, and the net photosynthetic rate of the mutant plants showed reduction as well. In contrast, the maximum photochemical quantum yield of PSII of the mutant plants was similar to that of the wild-type plants. Comparative transcriptome analysis of the mutant plants and wild-type plants led to the identification of differentially expressed 1,122 genes, of which 536 genes were up-regulated and 586 genes down-regulated in the mutant. Five genes in the chlorophyll metabolism pathway, nine genes in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and seven genes related to the conversion of sucrose to starch displayed down-regulated expression. In contrast, genes encoding a photosystem II reaction center PsbP family protein and the PGR5-like protein 1A (PGRL1A) exhibited increased transcript abundance.

Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato

Sweet potato,Ipomoea batatas(L.) Lam., is an important food crop worldwide. The orange-fleshed sweet potato is considered to be an important source of beta-carotene. In this study, the transcriptome profiles of an orange-fleshed sweet potato cultivar “Weiduoli” and its mutant “HVB-3” with high carotenoid content were determined by using the high-throughput sequencing technology. A total of 13,767,387 and 9,837,090 high-quality reads were produced from Weiduoli and HVB-3, respectively. These reads werede novoassembled into 58,277 transcripts and 35,909 unigenes with an average length of 596 bp and 533 bp, respectively. In all, 874 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained between Weiduoli and HVB-3, 401 of which were upregulated and 473 were downregulated in HVB-3 compared to Weiduoli. Of the 697 DEGs annotated, 316 DEGs had GO terms and 62 DEGs were mapped onto 50 pathways. The 22 DEGs and 31 transcription factors involved in carotenoid biosynthesis were identified between Weiduoli and HVB-3. In addition, 1,725 SSR markers were detected. This study provides the genomic resources for discovering the genes involved in carotenoid biosynthesis of sweet potato and other plants.
