RESUMO

MAIN CONCLUSION: This study identified seven histone acetyltransferase-encoding genes (HATs) from Beta vulgaris L. (sugar beet) genome through bioinformatics tools and analyzed their expression profiles under salt stress. Sugar beet HATs are phylogenetically divided into four families: GNAT, MYST, CBP, and TAFII250. The BvHAT genes were differentially transcribed in leaves, stems, and roots of B. vulgaris salt-resistant (Casino) and -sensitive (Bravo) cultivars under salt stress. Histone acetylation is regulated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs), which catalyze ɛ-amino bond formation between lysine residues and acetyl groups with a cofactor, acetyl-CoA. Even though the HATs are known to participate in stress response and development in model plants, little is known about the functions of HATs in crops. In sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), they have not yet been identified and characterized. Here, an in silico analysis of the HAT gene family in sugar beet was performed, and their expression patterns in leaves, stems, and roots of B. vulgaris were analyzed under salt stress. Salt-resistant (Casino) and -sensitive (Bravo) beet cultivars were used for gene expression assays. Seven HATs were identified from sugar beet genome, and named BvHAG1, BvHAG2, BvHAG3, BvHAG4, BvHAC1, BvHAC2, and BvHAF1. The HAT proteins were divided into 4 groups including MYST, GNAT (GCN5, HAT1, ELP3), CBP and TAFII250. Analysis of cis-acting elements indicated that the BvHAT genes might be involved in hormonal regulation, light response, plant development, and abiotic stress response. The BvHAT genes were differentially expressed in leaves, stems, and roots under control and 300 mM NaCl. In roots of B. vulgaris cv. Bravo, the BvHAG1, BvHAG2, BvHAG4, BvHAF1, and BvHAC1 genes were dramatically expressed after 7 and 14 days of salt stress. Interestingly, the BvHAC2 gene was not expressed under both control and stress conditions. However, the expression of BvHAG2, BvHAG3, BvHAG4, BvHAC1, BvHAC2 genes showed a significant increase in response to salt stress in the roots of cv. Casino. This study provides new insights into the potential roles of histone acetyltransferases in sugar beet.

RESUMO

MAIN CONCLUSION: Although sugar beet is a salt- and drought-tolerant crop, high salinity, and water deprivation significantly reduce its yield and growth. Several reports have demonstrated stress tolerance enhancement through stress-mitigating strategies including the exogenous application of osmolytes or metabolites, nanoparticles, seed treatments, breeding salt/drought-tolerant varieties. These approaches would assist in achieving sustainable yields despite global climatic changes. Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is an economically vital crop for ~ 30% of world sugar production. They also provide essential raw materials for bioethanol, animal fodder, pulp, pectin, and functional food-related industries. Due to fewer irrigation water requirements and shorter regeneration time than sugarcane, beet cultivation is spreading to subtropical climates from temperate climates. However, beet varieties from different geographical locations display different stress tolerance levels. Although sugar beet can endure moderate exposure to various abiotic stresses, including high salinity and drought, prolonged exposure to salt and drought stress causes a significant decrease in crop yield and production. Hence, plant biologists and agronomists have devised several strategies to mitigate the stress-induced damage to sugar beet cultivation. Recently, several studies substantiated that the exogenous application of osmolytes or metabolite substances can help plants overcome injuries induced by salt or drought stress. Furthermore, these compounds likely elicit different physio-biochemical impacts, including improving nutrient/ionic homeostasis, photosynthetic efficiency, strengthening defense response, and water status improvement under various abiotic stress conditions. In the current review, we compiled different stress-mitigating agricultural strategies, prospects, and future experiments that can secure sustainable yields for sugar beets despite high saline or drought conditions.

RESUMO

Ascorbate oxidase, which is known to play a key role in regulating the redox state in the apoplast, cell wall metabolism, cell expansion and abiotic stress response in plants, oxidizes apo-plastic ascorbic acid (AA) to dehydroascorbic acid (DHA). However, there is little information about the AAO genes and their functions in beets under abiotic stress. The term salt or drought stress refers to the treatment of plants with slow and gradual salinity/drought. Contrastingly, salt shock consists of exposing plants to high salt levels instantaneously and drought shock occurs under fast drought progression. In the present work, we have subjected plants to salinity or drought treatments to elicit either stress or shock and carried out a genome-wide analysis of ascorbate oxidase (AAO) genes in sugar beet (B. vulgaris cv. Huzar) and its halophytic ancestor (B. maritima). Here, conserved domain analyses showed the existence of twelve BvAAO gene family members in the genome of sugar beet. The BvAAO_1-12 genes are located on chromosomes 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9. The phylogenetic tree exhibited the close relationships between BvAAO_1-12 and AAO genes of Spinacia oleracea and Chenopodium quinoa. In both beet genotypes, downregulation of AAO gene expression with the duration of salt stress or drought treatment was observed. This correlated with a decrease in AAO enzyme activity under defined experimental setup. Under salinity, the key downregulated gene was BvAAO_10 in Beta maritima and under drought the BvAAO_3 gene in both beets. This phenomenon may be involved in determining the high tolerance of beet to salinity and drought.

RESUMO

Acetylation of histone proteins is a type of chromatin modification which facilitates the activation of genes. Recent studies brought up the importance of this reversible and rapid process for the regulation of gene expression especially in plant defense against a variety of environmental stresses. Deciphering the exact mechanisms of chromatin modifications under abiotic stress conditions is important for improving crop plants' performance and yield. In a previous study we compared the salt stress responses of Beta vulgaris (sugar beet) and Beta maritima (wild beet). In accordance with those results we suggested that chromatin remodeling can be an active process in the regulation of genes related to salt stress tolerance of these plants. Therefore we performed ChIP assay in control and salt stressed (250 and 500 mM NaCl) plants and compared the enrichment of acetylation in the associated chromatin sites. We found that the transcriptional activation of one peroxidase (POX) encoding gene was associated with the elevated levels of acetylation in H3K9 and H3K27 sites. The acetylation patterns were remarkably different between two species in which the highest acetylation levels were found at H3K9 and H3K27 in wild beet and sugar beet respectively.
