    Abstract: Salinity restricts the growth of trees to varying extents, but the regulatory mechanisms involved in their varying salt tolerance are largely unknown. In an effort to elucidate these mechanisms, we identified a total of 99 genes in the Ethylene Responsive Factor (ERF) family of transcription factors and examined their expression patterns under salt stress in Populus alba var. pyramidalis. We found that a B4 group gene, PalERF109, was rapidly induced by salt treatment and preferentially expressed in stems and petioles, where it is probably involved in transport of ions and water in xylem. Overexpression of PalERF109 enhanced the salt tolerance of the poplar, and further analysis showed that it directly upregulated a high-affinity K+transporter (HKT) gene, PalHKT1;2. The results clearly indicate that PalERF109 enhances salt tolerance at least partially through direct activation of PalHKT1;2 and extends understanding of the roles of ERF genes in tree stress responses.

    Abstract: Perennial trees develop and coordinate endogenous response signaling pathways, including their crosstalk and convergence, to cope with various environmental stresses which occur simultaneously in most cases. These processes are involved in gene transcriptional regulations that depend on dynamic interactions between regulatory proteins and corresponding chromatin regions, but the mechanisms remain poorly understood in trees. In this study, we detected chromatin regulatory landscapes of poplar under abscisic acid, methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid and sodium chloride (NaCl) treatment, through integrating ATAC-seq and RNA-seq data. Our results showed that the degree of chromatin accessibility for a given gene is closely related to its expression level. However, unlike the gene expression that shows treatment-specific response patterns, changes in chromatin accessibility exhibit high similarities under these treatments. We further proposed and experimentally validated that a homologous gene copy of RESPONSIVE TO DESICCATION 26 mediates the crosstalk between jasmonic acid and NaCl signaling pathways by directly regulating the stress-responsive genes and that circadian clock-related transcription factors like REVEILLE8 play a central role in response of poplar to these treatments. Overall, our study provides a chromatin insight into the molecular mechanism of transcription regulatory networks in response to different environmental stresses and raises the key roles of the circadian clock of poplar to adapt to adverse environments.

    Abstract: Sensing and responding to stresses determine the tolerance of plants to adverse environments. The triploid Chinese white poplar is widely cultivated in North China because of its adaptation to a wide range of habitats including highly saline ones. However, its triploid genome complicates any detailed investigation of the molecular mechanisms underlying its adaptations. Results We report a haplotype-resolved genome of this triploid poplar and characterize, using reverse genetics and biochemical approaches, a MYB gene, SALT RESPONSIVE MYB TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR ( SRMT ), which combines NUCLEAR FACTOR Y SUBUNIT C 9 ( PtoNF-YC9 ) and RESPONSIVE TO DESICCATION 26 ( PtoRD26 ), to regulate an ABA-dependent salt-stress response signaling. We reveal that the salt-inducible PtoRD26 is dependent on ABA signaling. We demonstrate that ABA or salt drives PtoNF-YC9 shuttling into the nucleus where it interacts with SRMT, resulting in the rapid expression of PtoRD26 which in turn directly regulates SRMT . This positive feedback loop of SRMT - PtoRD26 can rapidly amplify salt-stress signaling. Interference with either component of this regulatory module reduces the salt tolerance of this triploid poplar. Conclusion Our findings reveal a novel ABA-dependent salt-responsive mechanism, which is mediated by the PtoNF-YC9-SRMT-PtoRD26 module that confers salt tolerance to this triploid poplar. These genes may therefore also serve as potential and important modification targets in breeding programs.

    Abstract: This work reveals a novel negative regulation mechanism for the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathway mediated by PalWRKY77 that results in more sensitivity to salt stress in poplar. This deepens our understanding of the complex responses of woody species to salt stress and of the relationship between ABA signaling and salt stress responses.

    Abstract: Drought decreases the inorganic phosphate (Pi) supply of soil, resulting in Pi starvation of plants, but the molecular mechanism of how plants, especially the perennial trees, are tolerant to drought stress and Pi starvation, is still elusive. In this study, we identified an AP2/ERF transcription factor gene, PalERF2, from Populus alba var. pyramidalis, and it was induced by both mannitol treatment and Pi starvation. Overexpressing and knocking-down of PalERF2 both enhanced and attenuated tolerance to drought stress and Pi deficiency compared to WT, respectively. Moreover, the overexpression of PalERF2 up-regulated the expression levels of Pi starvation-induced (PSI) genes and increased Pi uptake under drought conditions; however, its RNAi poplar showed the opposite phenotypes. Subsequent analysis indicated that PalERF2 directly modulated expressions of drought-responsive genes PalRD20 and PalSAG113, as well as PSI genes PalPHL2 and PalPHT1;4, through binding to the DRE motifs on their promoters. These results clearly indicate that poplars can recruit PalERF2 to increase the tolerance to drought and also elevate Pi uptake under drought stress.

    Abstract: The abscisic acid (ABA) signalling pathway is involved in the plant response to osmotic stress caused by drought and/or salinity. Although the ABA signalling pathway has been elucidated in Arabidopsis , it remains elusive in woody poplars. In this study, genome‐wide analyses of U‐box genes in poplars revealed that a U‐box E3 ubiquitin ligase gene, PalPUB79 , is significantly induced following drought, salinity and ABA signalling. PalPUB79 overexpression enhanced drought tolerance in transgenic poplars, while PalPUB79 RNAi lines were more sensitive to drought. PalPUB79 positively regulated ABA signalling pathway. Furthermore, PalPUB79 interacted with PalWRKY77, a negative transcriptional regulator of ABA signalling, and mediated its ubiquitination for degradation, therefore counteracting its inhibitory effect on PalRD26 transcription. However, the finding that PalWRKY77 negatively regulates PalPUB79 expression was indicative of a negative feedback loop between PalWRKY77 and PalPUB79 during ABA signalling in poplar. These findings provide novel insight into the mechanism through which PalPUB79 enhances the ABA‐mediated stress response in woody poplars.

    Abstract: Homeobox (HB) genes play critical roles in the regulation of plant morphogenesis, growth and development. Here, we identified a total of 156 PtrHB genes from the Populus trichocarpa genome. According to the topologies and taxonomy of the phylogenetic tree constructed by Arabidopsis thaliana HB members, all PtrHB proteins were divided into six subgroups, namely HD-ZIP, ZF-HD, HB-PHD, TALE, WOX and HB-OTHERS. Multiple alignments of conserved homeodomains (HDs) revealed the conserved loci of each subgroup, while gene structure analysis showed similar exon–intron gene structures, and motif analysis indicated the similarity of motif number and pattern in the same subgroup. Promoter analysis indicated that the promoters of PtrHB genes contain a series of cis-acting regulatory elements involved in responding to various abiotic stresses, indicating that PtrHBs had potential functions in these processes. Collinearity analysis revealed that there are 96 pairs of 127 PtrHB genes mainly distributing on Chromosomes 1, 2, and 5. We analyzed the spatio-temporal expression patterns of PtrHB genes, and the virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) of PtrHB3 gene resulted in the compromised tolerance of poplar seedlings to mannitol treatment. The bioinformatics on PtrHB family and preliminary exploration of drought-responsive genes can provide support for further study of the family in woody plants, especially in drought-related biological processes. It also provides a direction for developing new varieties of poplar with drought resistance. Overall, our results provided significant information for further functional analysis of PtrHB genes in poplar and demonstrated that PtrHB3 is a dominant gene regulating tolerance to water stress treatment in poplar seedlings.

    Abstract: Plants usually suffer from phosphorus starvation because of the low inorganic phosphate (Pi) status of most soils. To cope with this, plants have evolved an adaptive phosphate starvation response (PSR) which involves both developmental and metabolic changes regulated mainly by PHOSPHATE STARVATION RESPONSE1 (PHR1) and its homologs. Here, we elucidated how perennial woody plants, such as poplars (Populus spp.), respond to low-Pi stress. We first performed RNA-seq analysis of low-Pi-treated poplars and identified PtoWRKY40 is rapidly downregulated and protein degraded after stress. Overexpressing and knocking-down PtoWRKY40 downregulated and upregulated the expression of Pi starvation signaling genes, respectively, such as PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER1 (PHT1)-type genes and PURPLE ACID PHOSPHATASE genes. PtoWRKY40 bound to the W box in the promoter of several PtoPHT1s and repressed their expression. Moreover, PtoWRKY40 interacted with PtoPHR1-LIKE3 (PtoPHL3), a PHR1 homolog in poplar, to inhibit the latter binding to the P1BS element and thus reduced PtoPHT1s’ transcription under Pi-sufficient conditions. However, Pi deficiency decreased PtoWRKY40 abundance and therefore released its inhibition on PHT1s. In conclusion, we have uncovered a PSR mechanism mediated by PtoWRKY40 and PtoPHL3 which regulates Pi content in poplars, deepening our understanding of how poplars adapt to diverse Pi conditions and regulate appropriate responses to maintain Pi homeostasis.

    Abstract: Plant secondary growth depends on the activity of the vascular cambium, which produces xylem and phloem. Wood derived from xylem is the most abundant form of biomass globally and has played key socio-economic and subsistence roles throughout human history. However, despite intensive study of vascular development, the full diversity of cell types and the gene networks engaged are still poorly understood. Results Here, we have applied an optimized protoplast isolation protocol and RNA sequencing to characterize the high-resolution single-cell transcriptional landscape of highly lignified poplar stems. We identify 20 putative cell clusters with a series of novel cluster-specific marker genes and find that these cells are highly heterogeneous based on the transcriptome. Analysis of these marker genes’ expression dynamics enables reconstruction of the cell differentiation trajectories involved in phloem and xylem development. We find that different cell clusters exhibit distinct patterns of phytohormone responses and emphasize the use of our data to predict potential gene redundancy and identify candidate genes related to vascular development in trees. Conclusions These findings establish the transcriptional landscape of major cell types of poplar stems at single-cell resolution and provide a valuable resource for investigating basic principles of vascular cell specification and differentiation in trees.
