The effects of sulphur deficiency on the expression of storage-protein genes in developing pea (Pisum sativum) cotyledons were studied. Legumin-gene transcription was decreased by S-deficiency, but not to the same extent as the decrease in the level of legumin mRNA. Vicilin-gene transcription was not significantly affected. Control of gene expression may thus occur during transcription and/or post-transcriptional events.

The effect of chromosome 1D of wheat on expression of seed storage protein genes was analyzed using a 1R(1D) substitution line and derivatives of this line that had lost 1R (1D nullisomic). The results of one- and two-dimensional (two pH) electrophoresis suggested that nucleotide sequences located on 1D were involved in induction and suppression of these protein genes and in posttranscriptional modification of polypeptides produced by the seed storage protein genes. The action attributed to 1D appeared to affect only genes located on chromosome 6A.Key words: electrophoresis, gene expression, suppression, Triticum aestivum.

A genomic clone from pea (Pisum sativum L.) contains all of one gene encoding a ‘minor’ (B-type) legumin polypeptide, and most of a second very similar gene. The two genes, designated LegJ and LegK, are arranged in tandem, separated by approx. 6 kb. A complete sequence of gene LegJ and its flanking sequences is given, with as much of the sequence of gene LegK as is present on the genomic clone. Hybridization of 3′ flanking sequence probes to seed mRNA, and sequence comparisons with cDNA species, suggested that gene LegJ, and probably gene LegK, was expressed. The partial amino acid sequences of ‘minor’ legumin α- and beta-polypeptides were used to confirm the identity of these genes. The transciption start in gene LegJ was mapped. The 5′ flanking sequence of gene LegJ contains a sequence conserved in legumin genes from pea and other species, which is likely to have functional significance in control of gene expression. Sequence comparisons with legumin genes and cDNA species from Vicia faba and soya bean show that separation of legumin genes into A- and B-type subfamilies occurred before separation of the Viciae and Glycinae tribes.

Alternative splicing (AS), a process that enables formation of different mRNA isoforms due to alternative ways of pre-mRNA processing, is one of the mechanisms for fine-tuning gene expression. Currently, the role of AS in symbioses formed by plants with soil microorganisms is not fully understood. In this work, a comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome of garden pea (Pisum sativum L.) roots in symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhiza was performed using RNAseq and following bioinformatic analysis. AS profiles of mycorrhizal and control roots were highly similar, intron retention accounting for a large proportion of the observed AS types (67%). Using three different tools (SUPPA2, DRIMSeq and IsoformSwitchAnalyzeR), eight genes with AS events specific for mycorrhizal roots of pea were identified, among which four were annotated as encoding an apoptosis inhibitor protein, a serine/threonine-protein kinase, a dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase, and a pre-mRNA-splicing factor ATP-dependent RNA helicase DEAH1. In pea mycorrhizal roots, the isoforms of these four genes with preliminary stop codons leading to a truncated ORFs were up-regulated. Interestingly, two of these four genes demonstrating mycorrhiza-specific AS are related to the process of splicing, thus forming parts of the feedback loops involved in fine-tuning of gene expression during mycorrhization.

The effects of the deprivation of boron (B) on Rhizobium–legume signaling and preinfection events have been investigated in pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Argona). The capacity of root exudates to induce the activity of nodulation genes was modulated by B nutrition in the host plant. Exudates derived from B-deficient pea plants led to a low level of nod-gene expression that could be correlated with poor root hair curling. However, inoculation of B-deficient plants with bacteria grown in the presence of the nod-gene inducing hesperetin, restored root hair curling. The attachment of bacteria to roots was also diminished in plants grown in the absence of the micronutrient, and it was not recovered by hesperetin. Both phenomena provoked a reduction in nodulation of more than 50%. Furthermore, infection thread development was arrested at very early stages, and cell invasion by endocytosis was precluded, leading to almost empty of bacteria B-deficient nodules.
