Figure 2.1 Summary diagram of regulatory mechanisms and drought tolerance related cellular changes
discussed in this chapter. Sensing and signaling of drought stress (top half of diagram) begins with an initial
perception of water loss or loss of turgor that occurs via unknown mechanisms but may involve plasma
membrane or organelle localized sensors and cytoskeleton changes. Downstream signaling involves the action
of kinases and phosphatases (PPases), which can have opposing effects on a range of targets including trans-
porters, transcription factors, and other proteins. Alternative splicing, selective translation, and protein modifi-
cation by attachment of ubiquitin (Ubq) or small ubiquitin-like modifier proteins (SUMO) pathways generate
additional changes in protein content and activity important for drought response. The regulator events lead to
specific cellular changes related to drought tolerance (bottom half of diagram) including solute uptake and
synthesis of protective solutes, changes in chloroplast and mitochondrial metabolism to buffer cellular redox
status, and control of solute synthesis, as well as changes in cell wall properties. Adjustment to photosynthetic
metabolism as well as mitochondrial alternative oxidases and uncoupling proteins act to dissipate reducing
potential when necessary and prevent reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. Even with this, the mitochon-
dria and chloroplast are also sources of ROS, which, along with other specific signals, determine the time and
extent of cell death and senescence during drought.

Figure 2.2 Regulated changes in growth at low water potential: stimulation of aba2-1 by proline. Seedlings
of Arabidopsis Columbia wild type or the ABA-deficient mutant aba2-1 were transferred from control media
to low water potential (−1.2 MPa) on polyethylene glycol-infused agar plates. Measurements of seedling
growth (root elongation, fresh weight and dry weight) were performed 10 days after transfer. Transpiration is
low in this experimental system, thus dehydration avoidance through stomatal closure has a relatively minor
role. Because of this, aba2-1 differed little from wild type in the high water potential control (top panels). At
low water potential aba2-1 was inhibited in root elongation, consistent with previous observations that ABA is
required to promote root elongation at low water potential. Fresh weight and dry weight, which indicate shoot
growth as well as root growth, were slightly decreased or unchanged. Adding a low level of ABA comple-
mented the reduced growth aba2-1. However, adding the compatible solute proline had a more dramatic effect
of increasing fresh weight and dry weight by 1.5 to nearly 2-fold (bottom panels). Thus, when the growth
restraining effect of ABA was removed, added proline could greatly stimulate shoot growth at low water poten-
tial. Asterisks (*) indicate significant differences between wild type and aba2-1. Pictures show representative
seedlings from a series of replicated experiments. Figure is modified from Sharma et al., 2011.

Figure 2.3 NADP/NADPH ratio as an indicator of redox status of plants at low water potential and the role of
proline metabolism in buffering NADP/NADPH. (A) Seven-day-old Arabidopsis seedlings of Columbia wild
type, p5cs1-4 (lacking expression of D1-pyrroline-carboxylate synthetase1, which encodes a stress-induced
enzyme of proline synthesis) and pdh1-2 (lacking expression of the proline catabolism enzyme proline dehydro-genase1), were transferred to control (−0.25 MPa) or low water potential (−1.2 MPa) media and pyridine nucleo-
tide levels measured 96 hours later. Low water potential caused a decline in NADP/NADPH, indicating that a
reduced supply of NADP in the chloroplast may increase the potential for reactive oxygen production or inhibi-
tion of photosynthesis. In contrast, NAD/NADH was less affected by low water potential. p5cs1-4 and pdh1-2
both had a greater decline in NADP/NADPH than wild type at low water potential. pdh1-2 also had decreased
NADP/NADPH in the unstressed control treatment. These data indicated a role of proline metabolism in control-
ling NADP/NADPH in addition to other protective roles of proline as a compatible solute that accumulates during
drought. (B) Model of proline metabolism and its roles in regenerating NADP in photosynthetic tissue and sup-
plying energy and reductant to meristematic and growing tissue to support continued growth during low water
potential. In photosynthetic shoot tissue, synthesis of proline is relatively high, indicated by induced expression
of P5CS1 and repressed expression of PDH1. Because of its probable location in the chloroplast (reviewed in
Verslues and Sharma, 2010; Szabados and Savoure, 2010), proline synthesis can serve to regenerate NADP as an
electron acceptor to avoid reactive oxygen production and inhibition of photosynthesis. In growing tissue, espe-
cially the root apex, PDH1 expression is induced rather than repressed by low water potential, and proline serves
as an alternative respiratory substrate to sustain growth. Additional investigation of the localization and regulation
of P5CS1 and PDH1 and mechanisms of proline transport are needed for further understanding of how proline
metabolism promotes drought tolerance. Both (A) and (B) are modified from Sharma et al., 2011.
Figure 2.4 Intron sequence polymorphisms lead to varying rates of P5CS1 alternative splicing and varying capacity for proline accumulation among Arabidopsis
accessions. The Arabidopsis P5CS1 transcript can be alternatively spliced into two transcripts: a full-length transcript that encodes P5CS1 protein and a transcript
missing exon 3 (exon 3-skip P5CS1) that cannot be translated to P5CS1 protein. Most accessions produce only a low level of exon 3-skip P5CS1 and can accumu-
late high levels of proline in response to low water potential stress. However, in some accessions up to half of the P5CS1 transcript is the non-functional exon 3-skip
P5CS1. These accessions have reduced levels of proline accumulation. Accessions having high levels of exon 3-skip P5CS1 have extra TA repeats in intron 2 and
a specific G to T transversion in intron 3; these are sufficient to drive high levels of alternative splicing. The percentage of exon 3-skip P5CS1 is correlated with
temperature and rainfall conditions from the accessions sites of origin, indicating the P5CS1 and proline synthesis are under selection as part of local adaptation of
Arabidopsis accession to climates differing in rainfall and temperature patterns. Figure is modified from Kesari et al., 2012.

Figure 6.3 A selection of well-characterized cellular processes involved in salt tolerance. Na+ can passively enter
into plant cells through ion channels, such as non-selective cation channels (NSCCs), glutamate receptor-like chan-
nels (GLRs), cyclic-nucleotide gated channels (CNGCs), and the Na+ or K+/Na+ HKT transporters. Na+/H+ antiport-
ers like SOS1 or NHXs transport Na+ out of the cell or into the vacuole and require the establishment of an H+
gradient by membrane bound PPases and ATPases. SOS2 and SOS3 regulate the activity of SOS1, ensuring the
tranporter is active during salt stress—SOS3 and SOS2 are members of the CBL/CIPK calcium signalling pathway.
Both CDPKs and CBLs/CIPKs are involved in the Ca2+ dependent salt stress signalling pathways and regulate the
cell response to salt stress by post-translationally modifying a variety of proteins, such as transporters. Finally, salt
stressed cells accumulating high concentrations of Na+ produce proline and glycine betaine as osmoprotectants.

Figure 7.1 Model of Zn transport into and across the root of the Zn/Cd hyperaccumulator, Nocceae caerulescens. This
is a speculative model for Zn2+ transport from the soil into the root, radial Zn transport to the center of the root, and
Zn loading into the xylem. The model depicts differences between the Zn hyperaccumulator, Noccea caerulescens, compared with a “typical” non-accumulating plant species. Elevated root Zn2+ influx into the root from the soil is
depicted for N. caerulescens (larger green arrows compared with root Zn2+ influx in the non-hyperaccumulator). It
has been suggested that NcZNT1 may be the transporter facilitating this uptake, but recent localization of the
Arabidopsis homolog of the TcZNT1 gene suggests it may also be involved in metal loading into the stele. Hence we
also show NcZNT1 facilitating Zn influx from the apoplast into cells of the pericycle and other cells within the
stele. The model also indicates there is less vacuolar sequestration of Zn in roots of N. caerulescens. Thus in the
hyper accumulator, there would be a larger pool of mobile Zn in the root that can more readily move through the
endodermis and pericycle to the xylem parenchyma. We also show the elevated Zn loading into the xylem in
N. caerulescens, via the Zn/Cd ATPase, HMA4, for subsequent transport to the shoots.

Figure 7.2 Physiological mechanisms of aluminum (Al) tolerance. The model depicts the well-characterized
root tip Al exclusion and less well-studied internal Al detoxification mechanisms of Al tolerance. The Al exclu-
sion mechanism involves the transport of organic acids (OA) across the root-cell plasma membrane into the
rhizosphere via an Al-gated anion channel for malate (ALMT1) or an Al-activated citrate efflux transporter
(MATE). Activation of the ALMT channels appears to be due to direct activation of the transport protein by Al.
Al activation of the MATE may be more indirect and could involve Al interacting with a second membrane-
bound receptor protein that associates with the MATE protein, or by Al entering the cytosol and triggering
MATE activation. It is known that Al also triggers changes in expression of genes involved in Al tolerance. The
internal Al detoxification involves the entry of Al via an Al transporter that is known to be OsNrat1 in the rice
root but has not been identified in Al accumulators such as buckwheat and Hydrangea, where the Al is seques-
tered in the leaf vacuole. For these shoot Al accumulators, the tolerance mechanism involves chelation of
cytoplasmic Al by organic acids with the subsequent sequestration into the vacuole. Here we also suggest that
in the rice root, possibly Al transported into the root cell by OsNrat1 might be transported into the vacuole by
OsALS1 mediated by the transport of Al complexed with organic acids.

Figure 8.2 RNA-directed DNA methylation in plants. The SNF2 chromatin remodeling protein CLASSY 1
(CLSY1) facilitates chromatin decondensation and access of RNA Pol IV to the target loci. Pol IV trasncripts
are converted into dsRNA by RNA-DEPENDENT RNA POLYMERASE 2 (RDR2). These dsRNAs serve as
substrate for DICER-LIKE 3 (DCL3) catalyzed production of 24-nt small RNA duplex. HUA ENHANCER-1
(HEN1), an RNA methyltransferase, catalyses the methylation of the 2′-OH group of three-terminal nucleo-
tides in the small-RNA duplex. SAWADEE HOMEODOMAIN HOMOLOG 1 (SHH1) is required for Pol IV
dependent siRNA production. The 24nt siRNAs are loaded onto Argonaute 4 (AGO4) protein. DEFECTIVE
IN RNA-DIRECTED DNA METHYLATION 1 (DRD1, chromatin-remodelling factor) and DEFECTIVE IN
MERISTEM SILENCING 3 (DMS3) facilitate Pol V/II access to the target loci. Transcription factors such
as RNA-DIRECTED DNA METHYLATION4 (RDM4)/DMS4 help recruit RNA polymerase V. Pol V transcribes
target loci to produce ssRNAs. These transcripts serve as scaffolding for recruitment of complementary siRNA
bound AGO4. The KOW DOMAIN-CONTAINING TRANCRIPTION FACTOR 1 (KTF1)/SUPPRESSOR
OF TY INSERTION 5-LIKE (SPT5L) binds to nascent scaffold transcript RNA and recruits AGO4-bound
siRNAs to the RdDM effector complex. INVOLVED IN DE NOVO 2 (IDN2)/RNA-dependent DNA methyla-
tion 12 (RDM12) binds to the hybrid siRNA-nascent scaffold transcripts and aids recruitment or retention of
de novo DNA methyltransferase DOMAINS REARRANGED METHYLTRANSFERASE2 (DRM2). DRM2
catalyzes cytosine methylation in DNA sequences complementary to siRNAs.

Figure 10.2 Basis of linkage analysis and association study. Linkage analysis relies on biparental population
with low recombination (A) resulting in low resolution mapping of QTL but high power of detecting a signifi-
cant linkage between trait and loci (C and E). By contrast association study uses historical recombination
accumulated over time in a diversity panel (B), which results in high-resolution mapping (D and F).

Lines showing a recombination event on each side of the QTL (boxed) are crossed to generate progeny contain-

markers tightly linked to the QTL.
