C.E.Hubb. during dehydration and rehydration i Abstract Plants, as sessile organisms must continually adapt to environmental changes. Water deficit is one of the major environmental stresses that affects plants. While most plants can tolerate moderate dehydration (leaf water potential from -5 to -10 MPa) a small group of vascular plants can tolerate desiccation to an air-dry state (- 100 MPa) and beyond. Since the initial discovery of desiccation-tolerance in plants in 1912 by Irmscher, scientists and plant botanists world-wide have been fascinated by these unique plants, particularly how these land-plants can tolerate desiccation and resurrect. Tripogon loliiformis is a largely uncharacterised Australian desiccation-tolerant grass that resurrects from the desiccated state within 72 hours. The work performed in this thesis involved a combination of structural, physiological and molecular techniques to investigate the unique structural, physiological and molecular features that enable T. loliiformis, and potentially other resurrection plants, to tolerate desiccation. The molecular studies were performed using high-throughput protein microarray technology which provided a platform for comparative analysis of potential protein-protein interacting partners with the pro-survival/anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2 associated athanogene 4 (BAG4). In addition to analysis of the BAG4 protein from Arabidopsis, a novel orthologue of AtBAG4 was isolated from T. loliiformis and expressed, thus allowing an investigation of the roles of this protein between desiccation sensitive (A. thaliana) and tolerant (T. loliiformis) plants. Key observations included; i) a myriad of structural changes such as leaf folding, cell wall folding and vacuole fragmentation that mitigate desiccation stress, ii) potential role of sclerenchymatous tissue within rapid leaf folding and light protection, iii) retention of approximately 70 % chlorophyll in the desiccated state, iv) early shutdown of photosynthesis, 50 % at 80 % relative water content (RWC) and ceasing completely at 70 % RWC, v) the possible contribution of bulliform cells in leaf folding, water reserve and a key role in photosynthesis shut down by dehydration, vi) a sharp increase in electrolyte leakage during dehydration, vii) confirmation of membrane integrity by propidium iodide staining throughout dehydration, desiccation and rehydration, and viii) the molecular demonstration of a large number of proteins that possibly interact with BAG4 which mostly are related ii Structural, physiological and molecular characterisation of the Australian native resurrection grass Tripogon loliiformis (F.Muell.) C.E.Hubb. during dehydration and rehydration to carbohydrate pathways involved in autophagy. Taken together, these results demonstrate that T. loliiformis implements a range of structural and physiological mechanisms, both early on and throughout the drying, that protect tissues from mechanical, oxidative and irradiation stress. These results confirm that resurrection plants actively participate in stress tolerance and provide insights into tolerance mechanisms utilized by these unique land-plants for potential utilization in enhancement of stress-tolerance in crop plants. The protein results from protein microarray chip demonstrated that BAG4 has anti-apoptotic properties due to its interaction with a large number of proteins involved in autophagy (particularly carbohydrates). Detoxification and recycling of damaged and unwanted proteins result in recovery of the cells and prevent apoptosis. More proteins interacted with the TlBAG4 compared with AtBAG4 which might suggest that the more binding sites exist on BAG4 from this resurrection plant which in return might contribute in desiccation-tolerance. Although the exact involvement of BAG4 protein with other proteins and its true involvement in autophagy remained to be explored, this project for the first time suggested a potential role for BAG4 in plant autophagy pathways. Furthermore, the data generated from the protein-protein interaction of BAG4 using high-density protein microarrays provided a valuable resource for uncovering the mechanisms/pathways that this protein influences for future research.

    Unit : 3 Differentiation of Epidermis with Reference to Stomata LESSON STRUCTURE 3.0 Objective 3.1 Introduction 3.2 Epidermis : Basic concept, its function, origin and structure 3.3 Stomatal distribution, development and classification. 3.4 Questions for Exercise 3.5 Suggested Readings 3.0 OBJECTIVE The epidermis, being superficial or outermost layer of cells, covers the entire plant body. It includes structures like stomata and trichomes. Distribution of stomata in epidermis depends on Ontogeny, number of subsidiary cells, separation of guard cells and different taxonomic ranks (classes, families and species). 3.1 INTRODUCTION The internal organs of plants are covered by a well developed tissue system, the epidermal or integumentary system. The epidermis modifies itself to cope up with natural surroundings, since, it is in direct contact with the environment. It protects the inner tissues from any adverse natural calamities like high temperature, desiccation, mechanical injury, excessive illumination, external infection etc. In some plants epidermis may persist throughout the life, while in others it is replaced by periderm. Although the epiderm usually arises from the outer most tunica layer, which thus coincides with Hanstein’s dermatogen, the underlying tissues may have their origin in the tunica or the corpus or both, depending on plant species and the number of tunica layers, explained by Schmidt (1924). ( 38 ) Differentiation of Epidermis with Reference to Stomata 3.2 EPIDERMIS Basic Concept The term epidermis designates the outer most layer of cells on the primary plant body. The word is derived from two Greek words ‘epi’ means upon and ‘derma’ means skin. Through the history of development of plant morphology the concept of the epidermis has undergone changes, and there is still no complete uniformity in the application of the term.

MicroRNAs are 19- to 22-nucleotide small noncoding RNAs that have been implicated in abiotic stress responses. In this study, we found that knockdown of microRNA166, using the Short Tandem Target Mimic (STTM) system, resulted in morphological changes that confer drought resistance in rice (Oryza sativa). From a large-scale screen for miRNA knockdown lines in rice, we identified miR166 knockdown lines (STTM166); these plants exhibit a rolled-leaf phenotype, which is normally displayed by rice plants under drought stress. The leaves of STTM166 rice plants had smaller bulliform cells and abnormal sclerenchymatous cells, likely causing the rolled-leaf phenotype. The STTM166 plants had reduced stomatal conductance and showed decreased transpiration rates. The STTM166 lines also exhibited altered stem xylem and decreased hydraulic conductivity, likely due to the reduced diameter of the xylem vessels.

  • Inselbergs) As Centers of Diversity for Desiccation-Tolerant Vascular Plants
    Plant Ecology 151: 19–28, 2000. 19 © 2000 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. Dedicated to Prof. Dr Karl Eduard Linsenmair (Universität Würzburg) on the occasion of his 60th birthday. Granitic and gneissic outcrops (inselbergs) as centers of diversity for desiccation-tolerant vascular plants Stefan Porembski1 & Wilhelm Barthlott2 1Universität Rostock, Institut für Biodiversitätsforschung, Allgemeine und Spezielle Botanik, Rostock, Germany (E-mail: [email protected]); 2Botanisches Institut der Universität, Bonn, Germany (E-mail: [email protected]) Key words: Afrotrilepis, Borya, Desiccation tolerance, Granitic outcrops, Myrothamnus, Poikilohydry, Resurrection plants, Velloziaceae, Water stress Abstract Although desiccation tolerance is common in non-vascular plants, this adaptive trait is very rare in vascular plants. Desiccation-tolerant vascular plants occur particularly on rock outcrops in the tropics and to a lesser extent in temperate zones. They are found from sea level up to 2800 m. The diversity of desiccation-tolerant species as mea- sured by number of species is highest in East Africa, Madagascar and Brazil, where granitic and gneissic outcrops, or inselbergs, are their main habitat. Inselbergs frequently occur as isolated monoliths characterized by extreme environmental conditions (i.e., edaphic dryness, high degrees of insolation). On tropical inselbergs, desiccation- tolerant monocotyledons (i.e., Cyperaceae and Velloziaceae) dominate in mat-like communities which cover even steep slopes. Mat-forming desiccation-tolerant species may attain considerable age (hundreds of years) and size (several m in height, for pseudostemmed species). Both homoiochlorophyllous and poikilochlorophyllous species occur. In their natural habitats, both groups survive dry periods of several months and regain their photosynthetic activity within a few days after rainfall.

The present study Silencer of Death Domains (SODD)] is a member of the aimed to detect the expression of BAG4 and determine its BAG1‑related protein family (5). The BAG proteins are located function in the progression of GC. The results from reverse in both cytoplasmic and nuclear in cells (6), although the func- transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and tional importance of this remains unclear. BAG proteins have a western blotting revealed that BAG4 was markedly upregu- conserved BAG domain (BD) that binds to the ATPase domain lated in highly metastatic cell lines (SGC7901 and MGC803), of Hsp70/Hsc70, and regulates the activity of these molecular compared with the lower‑metastatic cell lines (AGS and chaperones (7-9).
