Transcriptomic network underlying physiological alterations in the stem of Myricaria laxiflora in response to waterlogging stress

Myricaria laxiflora is an endangered shrub plant with remarkable tolerance to waterlogging stress, however, little attention has been paid to understanding the underlying mechanisms. Here, physiological and transcriptomic approaches were applied to uncover the physiological and molecular reconfigura...

description Myricaria laxiflora is an endangered shrub plant with remarkable tolerance to waterlogging stress, however, little attention has been paid to understanding the underlying mechanisms. Here, physiological and transcriptomic approaches were applied to uncover the physiological and molecular reconfigurations in the stem of M. laxiflora in response to waterlogging stress. The accumulation of the contents of H2O2 and malonaldehyde (MDA) alongside increased activities of enzymes for scavenging the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the stem of M. laxiflora were observed under waterlogging stress. The principal component analysis (PCA) of transcriptomes from five different timepoints uncovered PC1 counted for 17.3 % of total variations and separated the treated and non-treated samples. A total of 8714 genes in the stem of M. laxiflora were identified as differentially expressed genes (DEGs) under waterlogging stress, which could be assigned into two different subgroups with distinct gene expression patterns and biological functions. The DEGs involved in glycolysis were generally upregulated, whereas opposite results were observed for nitrogen uptake and the assimilation pathway. The contents of abscisic acid (ABA) and jasmonic acid (JA) were sharply decreased alongside the decreased mRNA levels of the genes involved in corresponding synthesis pathways upon waterlogging stress. A network centered by eight key transcription factors has been constructed, which uncovered the inhibited cell division processes in the stem of M. laxiflora upon waterlogging stress. Taken together, the obtained results showed that glycolysis, nitrogen metabolism and meristem activities played an important role in the stem of M. laxiflora in response to waterlogging stress.
