Abstract

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR/Cas) systems are effective technologies for rapid and accurate gene function verification in modern plant biotechnology. However, the investigation of gene silencing and editing in radish remains limited. In this study, a bleaching phenotype was generated through the knockdown of RsPDSusing tobacco rattle virus (TRV)- and turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV)-mediated gene silencing vectors. The TYMV-mediated gene silencing efficiency was higher than the TRV-based VIGS system in radish. The expression level of RsPDSwas significantly inhibited using VIGS in ‘NAU-067’ radish leaves. The rootless seedlings of ‘NAU-067’ were infected with Agrobacterium rhizogenesusing the 2300GN-Ubi-RsPDS-Cas9 vector with two target sequences. Nine adventitious roots were blue with GUS staining, and four of these adventitious roots were edited at target sequence 1 of the RsPDSgene as indicated by Sanger sequencing. Furthermore, albino lines were generated with A. tumefaciens-mediated transformation of radish cotyledons. Five base substitutions and three base deletions occurred at target sequence 2 in Line 1, and three base insertions and three base substitutions occurred at target sequence 1 in Line 2. This study shows that VIGS and CRISPR/Cas9 techniques can be employed to precisely verify the biological functions of genes in radish, which will facilitate the genetic improvement of vital horticultural traits in radish breeding programs.

Abstract

Aquaporins (AQPs) constitute a highly diverse family of channel proteins that transport water and neutral solutes. AQPs play crucial roles in plant development and stress responses. However, the characterization and biological functions of RsAQPs in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) remain elusive. In this study, 61 non-redundant members of AQP-encoding genes were identified from the radish genome database and located on nine chromosomes. Radish AQPs (RsAQPs) were divided into four subfamilies, including 21 plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs), 19 tonoplast intrinsic proteins (TIPs), 16 NOD-like intrinsic proteins (NIPs), and 5 small basic intrinsic proteins (SIPs), through phylogenetic analysis. All RsAQPs contained highly conserved motifs (motifs 1 and 4) and transmembrane regions, indicating the potential transmembrane transport function of RsAQPs. Tissue- and stage-specific expression patterns of AQP gene analysis based on RNA-seq data revealed that the expression levels of PIPs were generally higher than TIPs, NIPs, and SIPs in radish. In addition, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) revealed that seven selected RsPIPs, according to our previous transcriptome data (e.g., RsPIP1-3, 1-6, 2-1, 2-6, 2-10, 2-13, and 2-14), exhibited significant upregulation in roots of salt-tolerant radish genotype. In particular, the transcriptional levels of RsPIP2-6 dramatically increased after 6 h of 150 mM NaCl treatment during the taproot thickening stage. Additionally, overexpression of RsPIP2-6 could enhance salt tolerance by Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transgenic radish hairy roots, which exhibited the mitigatory effects of plant growth reduction, leaf relative water content (RWC) reduction and alleviation of O2– in cells, as shown by nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) staining, under salt stress. These findings are helpful for deeply dissecting the biological function of RsAQPs on the salt stress response, facilitating practical application and genetic improvement of abiotic stress resistance in radish.

Abstract

CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION-related (CLE) peptides are a class of small molecules involved in plant growth and development. Although radish (Raphanus sativus) is an important root vegetable crop worldwide, the functions of CLE peptides in its taproot formation remain elusive. Here, a total of 48 RsCLE genes were identified from the radish genome. RNA in situ hybridization showed that RsCLE22a gene was highly expressed in the vascular cambium. Overexpression of RsCLE22a inhibited root growth by impairing stem cell proliferation in Arabidopsis, and radish plants with exogenous supplementation of RsCLE22 peptide (CLE22p) showed a similar phenotype. The vascular cambial activity was increased in RsCLE22a -silenced plants. Transcriptome analysis revealed that CLE22p altered the expression of several genes involved in meristem development and hormone signal transduction in radish. Immunolocalization results showed that CLE22p increased auxin accumulation in vascular cambium. Yeast one-hybrid and dual-luciferase assays showed that the WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX 4 (RsWOX4) binds to RsCLE22a promoter and activates its transcription. The expression level of RsWOX4 was related to vascular cambial activity and was regulated by auxin. Furthermore, a RsCLE22a–RsWOX4 module is proposed to regulate taproot vascular cambium activity through an auxin signaling-related pathway in radish. These findings provide novel insights into the regulation of root growth in a horticultural crop. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Homeodomain‐leucine zipper (HD‐Zip) transcription factors are involved in various biological processes of plant growth, development, and abiotic stress response. However, how they regulate heat stress (HS) response remains largely unclear in plants. In this study, a total of 83 RsHD‐Zip genes were firstly identified from the genome of Raphanus sativus. RNA‐Seq, RT‐qPCR and promoter activity assays revealed that RsHDZ17 from HD‐Zip Class I was highly expressed under heat, salt, and Cd stresses. RsHDZ17 is a nuclear protein with transcriptional activity at the C‐terminus. Ectopic overexpression (OE) of RsHDZ17 in Arabidopsis thaliana enhanced the HS tolerance by improving the survival rate, photosynthesis capacity, and scavenging for reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, transient OE of RsHDZ17 in radish cotyledons impeded cell injury and augmented ROS scavenging under HS. Moreover, yeast one‐hybrid, dual‐luciferase assay, and electrophoretic mobility shift assay revealed that RsHDZ17 could bind to the promoter of HSFA1e. Collectively, these pieces of evidence demonstrate that RsHDZ17 could play a positive role in thermotolerance, partially through up‐regulation of the expression of HSFA1e in plants. These results provide novel insights into the role of HD‐Zips in radish and facilitate genetical engineering and development of heat‐tolerant radish in breeding programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

As one of the most frequently used quantum dots (QDs), the toxicity of cadmium telluride (CdTe) QDs related to several body systems has been investigated, but the studies on the nervous system are rather limited. It is extremely important to assess QDs’ cytotoxicity to neurons by a thorough systematic and quantitative analysis before they are applied in scientific or clinical settings. This study observed that CdTe QDs caused cell death and apoptosis in rat primary cultured hippocampal neurons in a dose-, time- and size-dependent manner. QD-exposed neurons showed an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and intracellular calcium levels that leads to neuron apoptosis and even death, which may be completely or partially protected by a common antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC), respectively. For future research, it is necessary to study the underlying mechanisms by investigating the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways by which CdTe QDs induce neurotoxic effects.
