Abstract

Mineral nutrition plays an important role in crop growth, yield and quality. MiR156 is a regulatory hub for growth and development. To date, the understanding of miR156-mediated mineral homeostasis is limited. In this study, we overexpressed Nta-miR156a in the tobacco cultivar TN90 and analyzed the effects of miR156 on mineral element homeostasis in tobacco by comparative transcriptome analysis. The results showed that the overexpression of miR156a caused significant morphological changes in transgenic tobacco. Chlorophyll and three anti-resistance markers, proline, total phenolics, and total flavonoids, were altered due to increased miR156 expression levels. Interestingly, the distribution of Cu, Mn, Zn, and Fe in different tissues of transgenic tobacco was disordered compared with that of the wild type. Comparative transcriptome analysis showed that the overexpression of miR156 resulted in 2656 significantly differentially expressed genes. The expression levels of several metal-transport-related genes, such as NtABC, NtZIP, NtHMA, and NtCAX, were significantly increased or decreased in transgenic tobacco. These results suggest that miR156 plays an essential role in regulating mineral homeostasis. Our study provides a new perspective for the further study of mineral nutrient homeostasis in plants.

Abstract

The SQUAMOSA promoter binding protein-like (SPL)SPL family genes play an important role in regulating plant growth and development, synthesis of secondary metabolites, and resistance to stress. Understanding of the role of the SPL family in tobacco is still limited. In this study, 42 NtSPL genes were identified from the genome of the tobacco variety TN90. According to the results of the conserved motif and phylogenetic tree, the NtSPL genes were divided into eight subgroups, and the genes in the same subgroup showed similar gene structures and conserved domains. The cis-acting element analysis of the NtSPL promoters showed that the NtSPL genes were regulated by plant hormones and stresses. Twenty-eight of the 42 NtSPL genes can be targeted by miR156. Transcriptome data and qPCR results indicated that the expression pattern of miR156-targeted NtSPL genes was usually tissue specific. The expression level of miR156 in tobacco was induced by Cd stress, and the expression pattern of NtSPL4a showed a significant negative correlation with that of miR156. These results suggest that miR156-NtSPL4a may mediate the tobacco response to Cd stress. This study lays a foundation for further research on the function of the NtSPL gene and provides new insights into the involvement of NtSPL genes in the plant response to heavy metal stress.
