Analysis of Salt Stress-Related Transcriptome Fingerprints from Diverse Plant Species

  • Chapter

Abstract

The capacity to sequence genomes and the availability of novel molecular tools such as analysis of transcriptomes has catapulted biological research into eras of genomics and post-genomics. As salinity limits crop production in a major way, large number of studies have been undertaken to analyze how salt stressed plant tissues differ from unstressed tissues in terms of genomic alterations. Bulk of this work has been carried out using the three model plant species namely Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa and Mesembryanthemum crystallinum. Apart from these plants, others like Thellungiella halophila, Xerophyta humilis, Populus euphratica, Setaria italica, Glycine soja, Sorghum bicolor and Triticum aestivum have been exploited to understand the differences in gene expression between saline sensitive and tolerant species. Closer look at the transcriptome based analysis carried out with these systems shows that genes involved in stress reception and stress signaling, regulation of gene expression, protein translation, transport of ions and metabolism (like enzymatic roles, energy production, protective functions and maintenance of osmotic balance) undergo major changes during salt stress conditions. Importantly, there are large numbers of genes that are upregulated under salt stress for which no major function has been ascribed as yet. Ultimately, a system biology based approach needs to be established to understand plant responses towards salinity stress and adaptation in an integrated manner. Future studies must focus on these leads to unravel novel candidate genes for making more-effective salt stress tolerant transgenic crops.
