    Abstract: Chlorophyll (Chl) is a vital photosynthetic pigment involved in capturing light energy and energy conversion. In this study, the color conversion of inner-leaves from green to yellow in the new wucai ( Brassica campestris L.) cultivar W7–2 was detected under low temperature. The W7–2 displayed a normal green leaf phenotype at the seedling stage, but the inner leaves gradually turned yellow when the temperature was decreased to 10 °C/2 °C (day/night), This study facilitates us to understand the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying leaf color changes in response to low temperature. Results A comparative leaf transcriptome analysis of W7–2 under low temperature treatment was performed on three stages (before, during and after leaf color change) with leaves that did not change color under normal temperature at the same period as a control. A total of 67,826 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed that the DEGs were mainly enriched in porphyrin and Chl metabolism, carotenoids metabolism, photosynthesis, and circadian rhythm. In the porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolic pathways, the expression of several genes was reduced [i.e. magnesium chelatase subunit H ( CHLH )] under low temperature. Almost all genes [i.e. phytoene synthase ( PSY )] in the carotenoids (Car) biosynthesis pathway were downregulated under low temperature. The genes associated with photosynthesis [i.e. photosystem II oxygen-evolving enhancer protein 1 ( PsbO )] were also downregulated under LT. Our study also showed that elongated hypocotyl5 ( HY5 ), which participates in circadian rhythm, and the metabolism of Chl and Car, is responsible for the regulation of leaf color change and cold tolerance in W7–2. Conclusions The color of inner-leaves was changed from green to yellow under low temperature in temperature-sensitive mutant W7–2. Physiological, biochemical and transcriptomic studies showed that HY5 transcription factor and the downstream genes such as CHLH and PSY , which regulate the accumulation of different pigments, are required for the modulation of leaf color change in wucai under low temperature.

    Abstract: Leaf color mutants are the ideal materials to explore the pathways of chlorophyll (Chl) metabolism, chloroplast development, and photosynthesis system. In this study, a spontaneous yellow-green leaf wucai ( Brassica campestris L.) mutant “WY16–13” was identified, which exhibited yellow-green leaf color during its entire growth period. However, current understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying Chl metabolism and chloroplast development of “WY16–13” is limited. Results Total Chl and carotenoid content in WY16–13 was reduced by 60.92 and 58.82%, respectively, as compared with its wild type parental line W16–13. Electron microscopic investigation revealed fewer chloroplasts per cell and looser stroma lamellae in WY16–13 than in W16–13. A comparative transcriptome profiling was performed using leaves from the yellow-green leaf type (WY16–13) and normal green-leaf type (W16–13). A total of 54.12 million (M) (WY16–13) and 56.17 M (W16–13) reads were generated. A total of 40,578 genes were identified from the mapped libraries. We identified 3882 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in WY16–13 compared with W16–13 (i.e., 1603 upregulated genes and 2279 downregulated genes). According to the Gene Ontology (GO) term and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses, these DEGs are involved in porphyrin and Chl metabolism [i.e., chlorophyllase ( CLH ), heme oxygenase ( HO ), chlorophyll (ide) b reductase ( NYC ), and protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase ( POR ) genes], carbohydrate metabolism, photosynthesis, and carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms. Moreover, deficiency in Chl biosynthetic intermediates in WY16–13 revealed that the formation of the yellow-green phenotype was related to the disorder of heme metabolism. Conclusions Our results provide valuable insights into Chl deficiency in the yellow-green leaf mutant and a bioinformatics resource for further functional identification of key allelic genes responsible for differences in Chl content.

    Abstract: Brassinosteroids (BRs) have a positive effect on many processes during plant growth and development, and in response to various abiotic stressors. Low-temperature (LT) stress constricts the geographic distribution, growth, and development of wucai ( Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis var. rosularis Tsen). However, there is little information on the global gene expression of BRs under LT stress in wucai. In this study, the molecular roles of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) after exogenously application, were explored by RNA sequencing under LT conditions. Results According to the Gene Ontology (GO) term and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses, photosynthesis was significantly enriched after spraying EBR under LT. The transcripts encoding the photosystem II (PSII) oxygen-evolving enhancer protein, photosystem I (PSI) subunit, light-harvesting chlorophyll protein complexes I and II, and ferredoxin were up-regulated after the application of EBR. Transcripts encoding several key enzymes involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis were also up-regulated, accompanied by significant differences in the contents of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), porphobilinogen (PBG), protoporphyrin IX (Proto IX), Mg-protoporphyrin IX (Mg-proto IX), protochlorophyllide (Pchl), and photosynthetic pigments. Notably, transcriptional and physiological analyses revealed that under LT stress, plant responses to EBR involved a major reorientation of photosynthesis, as well as porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism. Conclusion This study explored the role of EBR as an LT stress tolerance mechanism in wucai. At the transcription level, LT tolerance manifests as an enhancement of photosynthesis, and the amelioration of porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism.

    Abstract: Limited information is available on the cold acclimation of non-heading Chinese cabbage (NHCC) under low temperatures. In this study, the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) were used to illustrate the molecular machinery of cold acclimation. Compared to the control (Cont), altogether, 89 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in wucai leaves responding to low temperatures (LT). Among these proteins, 35 proteins were up-regulated ((and 54 were down-regulated). These differentially expressed proteins were categorized as having roles in carbohydrate metabolism, photosynthesis and energy metabolism, oxidative defense, amino acid metabolism, metabolic progress, cold regulation, methylation progress, and signal transduction. The fructose, glucose, and sucrose were dramatically increased in response to cold acclimation. It was firstly reported that aspartate, serine, glutamate, proline, and threonine were significantly accumulated under low temperatures. Results of quantitative real-time PCR analysis of nine DEPs displayed that the transcriptional expression patterns of six genes were consistent with their protein expression abundance. Our results demonstrated that wucai acclimated to low temperatures through regulating the expression of several crucial proteins. Additionally, carbohydrate and amino acid conversion played indispensable and vital roles in improving cold assimilation in wucai.

    Abstract: The genotype WS-1, previously identified from novel wucai germplasm, is tolerant to both low-temperature (LT) and high-temperature (HT) stress. However, it is unclear which signal transduction pathway or acclimation mechanisms are involved in the temperature-stress response. In this study, we used the proteomic method of tandem mass tag (TMT) coupled with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to identify 1022 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) common to WS-1, treated with either LT or HT. Among these 1022 DEPs, 172 were upregulated in response to both LT and HT, 324 were downregulated in response to both LT and HT, and 526 were upregulated in response to one temperature stress and downregulated in response to the other. To illustrate the common regulatory pathway in WS-1, 172 upregulated DEPs were further analyzed. The redox homeostasis, photosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, heat-shockprotein, and chaperones and signal transduction pathways were identified to be associated with temperature stress tolerance in wucai. In addition, 35S:BcccrGLU1 overexpressed in Arabidopsis, exhibited higher reduced glutathione (GSH) content and reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratio and less oxidative damage under temperature stress. This result is consistent with the dynamic regulation of the relevant proteins involved in redox homeostasis. These data demonstrate that maintaining redox homeostasis is an important common regulatory pathway for tolerance to temperature stress in novel wucai germplasm.

    Abstract: The quality of green leafy vegetables is easily lost during the postharvest period. The effect of exogenous 24‐epibrassinolide (EBR) pretreatment on the quality of wucai was evaluated in the present study. Wucai plants were sprayed twice with 0.1 μM EBR before harvesting. Two storage temperatures were tested: 25°C and 4°C. At 4°C, EBR pretreatment significantly delayed the degradation of the pigment and plant water loss. Furthermore, we measured the activity of key enzymes of the ascorbic acid (AsA)‐glutathione (GSH) cycle, the content of the main metabolites, and the expression of the AsA metabolism‐related genes in leaves. The results indicated that all three plants showed stronger antioxidant capacity after EBR pretreatment. At 4°C and 25°C, the storage time of wucai was 20 days and 7 days after EBR treatment, while the samples could be stored for 14 days and 4 days without EBR treatment application, respectively. At 4°C, the nutritional properties of wucai pretreated with EBR, such as total free amino acids, total soluble sugar, and cellulose contents, were higher than those of the control, while the content of nitrite and lignin was lower than that of the control. Hence, EBR pretreatment was able to enhance the antioxidant capacity of wucai, maintain normal leaf color and shape during storage, and delay the decline of nutritional properties; therefore, EBR pretreatment has potential commercial value for prolonging the market life of wucai.

    Abstract: Wucai ( Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis var. rosularis Tsen) is a cold-tolerant plant that is vulnerable to high temperature. This study explored the response mechanism of wucai to low temperature. In this study, wucai seedlings were treated with different temperatures, including low temperature (LT), high temperature (HT), and a control. Results According to transcriptomics analysis, the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in HT and LT was 10,702 and 7267, respectively, compared with the control. The key genes associated with the physiological response of wucai to the treatments were analyzed. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and Gene Ontology annotations indicated the importance of the photosynthesis and photosynthetic-antenna protein pathways. We found that a high-temperature environment greatly inhibited the expression of important genes in the photosynthetic pathway ( BrLhc superfamily members, PsaD, PsaE, PsaD, PsaD, PsbO, PsbP, PsbQ, PsbR, PsbS, PsbW, PsbY, Psb27, and Psb28 ), whereas low temperature resulted in the expression of certain key genes ( BrLhc superfamily members, Psa F, Psa H, Psb S, Psb H, Psb 28 ). In addition, the wucai seedlings exhibited better photosynthetic performance under low-temperature conditions than high-temperature conditions. Conclusions Based on the above results, we speculate that upon exposure to low temperature, the plants developed higher cold tolerance by upregulating the expression of genes related to photosynthesis. Conversely, high-temperature stress inhibited the expression of pivotal genes and weakened the self-regulating ability of the plants.

    Abstract: Dehydration responsive element binding protein (DREB) is a significant transcription factor class known to be implicated in abiotic stresses. In this study, we systematically conducted a genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the DREB gene family, including gene structures, evolutionary relationships, chromosome distribution, conserved domains, and expression patterns. A total of 65 DREB family gene members were identified in Chinese cabbage ( Brassica rapa L.) and were classified into five subgroups based on phylogenetic analysis. Through analysis of the conserved domains of BrDREB family genes, only one exon existed in the gene structure. Through the analysis of cis -acting elements, these genes were mainly involved in hormone regulation and adversity stress. In order to identify the function of BrDREB2B , overexpressed transgenic Arabidopsis was constructed. After different stress treatments, the germination rate, root growth, survival rate, and various plant physiological indicators were measured. The results showed that transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants overexpressing BrDREB2B exhibited enhanced tolerance to salt, heat and drought stresses. Taken together, our results are the first to report the BrDREB2B gene response to drought and heat stresses in Chinese cabbage and provide a basis for further studies to determine the function of BrDREBs in response to abiotic stresses.
