Title Metabolomics reveals comprehensive reprogramming involving two independent metabolic responses of Arabidopsis to UV-B light.
Description Because of ever-increasing environmental deterioration it is likely that the influx of UV-B radiation (280-320 nm) will increase as a result of the depletion of stratospheric ozone. Given this fact it is essential that we better understand both the rapid and the adaptive responses of plants to UV-B stress. Here, we compare the metabolic responses of wild-type Arabidopsis with that of mutants impaired in flavonoid (transparent testa 4, tt4; transparent testa 5, tt5) or sinapoyl-malate (sinapoylglucose accumulator 1, sng1) biosynthesis, exposed to a short 24-h or a longer 96-h exposure to this photo-oxidative stress. In control experiments we subjected the genotypes to long-day conditions as well as to 24- and 96-h treatments of continuous light. Following these treatments we evaluated the dynamic response of metabolites including flavonoids, sinapoyl-malate precursors and ascorbate, which are well known to play a role in cellular protection from UV-B stress, as well as a broader range of primary metabolites, in an attempt to more fully comprehend the metabolic shift following the cellular perception of this stress. Our data reveals that short-term responses occur only at the level of primary metabolites, suggesting that these effectively prime the cell to facilitate the later production of UV-B-absorbing secondary metabolites. The combined results of these studies together with transcript profiles using samples irradiated by 24-h UV-B light are discussed in the context of current models concerning the metabolic response of plants to the stress imposed by excessive UV-B irradiation.

Sample Information

ID S1
Title Arabidopsis thaliana
Organism - Scientific Name Arabidopsis thaliana
Organism - ID NCBI taxonomy:3702
Compound - ID
Compound - Source
Preparation BioSource Species:
Arabidopsis thaliana L. cv. Columbia ecotype 0 (wild-type)

Genotype: Wild-type, transparent-testa-4 [tt4] (Shikazono et al., 2001), transparent-testa-5 [tt5] (SALK_034145) and sinapoylglucose-accumulator-1 [sng1] (Lorenzen et al., 1996) in Col-0 background

Organ:
Aerial regions

Organ specification:
18-day-old aerial parts were harvested.

Growth condition:
The sterilized seeds were stratified at 5°C for 2 d, and were successively sown on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium (Wako, Osaka, Japan) containing 1% sucrose. These four genotypes were grown, side-by-side, under highly controlled growth conditions, under five independent environmental regimes. The chosen conditions were; (i) growth for 18 days under typical long day conditions (16h light/ 8h dark photoperiod; LC), (ii) growth for 17 days under typical long day conditions with 8 h additional light on day 18 (continuous light 1; CO1), (iii) growth for 17 days under typical long day conditions with 24-h ultraviolet light on day 18 (ultraviolet light 1; UV1), (iv) growth for 14 days under typical long day conditions followed by four days (96h) of continuous light (continuous light 4; CO4) and (v) growth for 14 days under typical long day conditions followed by four days of ultraviolet light (ultraviolet light 4; UV4). Plants were cultivated in controlled growth chambers (SANYO; MLR-350) at 22°C in 16-h light and 8-h dark conditions for 14 days (for CO4 and UV4), 17 days (for CO1 and UV1) and 18 days (for LC). The aerial regions were harvested, 6 h after the onset of the bright phase under each light treatment. Among these harvested plants, the plants that had fresh weight over 10 mg were used for metabolite profiling (9-11 different biological replicates for each condition).

Experimental condition:
See the growth conditions.

Light condition: 50 μmol m-2 s-1 for LC, 60 μmol m-2 s-1 for CO1 and CO4; 830 mW m-2 s-1 for UV1 and UV 4 irradiated by narrow-band (312 nm) ultraviolet-B light (CSL-30B, COSMO BIO).

Growth plot design:
Plates were randomized every third day in each growth chamber. Sampling and sampling date: The aerial regions were harvested in February 2007 (5th, 6th and 7th February, 2007) for metabolite profiling, in July and August 2009 for qRT-PCR and microarray analysis.

Metabolism quenching method:
All the plant materials were frozen immediately (within 30 sec after sampling) in liquid nitrogen to quench the enzymatic activity. Samples were stored at -80°C until use.
