Our research explores several aspects of the regulation of plant metabolism in response to stress, with a particular emphasis on mitochondrial metabolism. In plants, the process of aging as well as many environmental constraints may lead to the death of leaves. This particular type of cell death is often referred to as leaf senescence and can have a profoundly negative impact on crop yields and post-harvest shelf-life.

Aim: Leaves are essential plant structures and their well-being is crucial for plant development and survival. When a stress is applied, a plant has two options: try to cope with it or induce senescence and reallocate valuable nutrients towards new, developing or storage organs. A mutual antagonistic relationship can summarize this phenomenon as shown in figure 1. Our aim is to understand how the plant validates senescence over an adaptation strategy in response to stress (Fig. 1). This work mainly covers two aspects: 1) to unveil the communication and signalling mechanisms controlling the induction of leaf senescence and 2) to determine the subsequent metabolic regulation that occurs in response to stress, and ultimately during leaf senescence.

1. Using dark-induced senescence as a proxy to decipher signalling pathways controlling the induction of leaf senescence

In earlier studies (Keech et al., 2007; Law et al., 2018), we have shown that a leaf from a plant entirely darkened (DP) can survive much longer than an individually-darkened leaf (IDL; Fig. 2), which suggests that upon the right signals, the induction of leaf senescence can be repressed and alternative metabolic strategies conferring extended longevity can occur.

On the left side, an individual leaf was darkened and this leaf turned yellow after 6 days of treatment. On the right side, an entire plant was darkended and stayed mostly green after 6 days of treatment.

Figure 2: Experimental setup for the two darkening treatments (Weaver and Amasino, 2001; Keech et al., 2007; Law et al., 2018).

Yet, our current knowledge on the respective metabolic adjustments remains highly fragmented. In 2018, we proposed the following working models (Fig. 3).

However, in order to challenge these hypotheses, we are currently investigating the metabolic regulations in a set of functional stay-green mutants issued from a genetic screen. This provides us with a much valuable tool to determine how cells can survive prolonged stress conditions.

2. Regulation of metabolism during leaf senescence

In a green leaf, the three energy organelles (peroxisome, mitochondrion and chloroplast) work in synergy to sustain an efficient assimilation of carbon while constantly maintaining the essential functions of the cell. However, when a leaf undergoes senescence (“yellowing”), whole cell-metabolism is drastically modified, and as chloroplasts are rapidly getting impaired, the remaining organelles acquire novel functions, particularly the mitochondrion. In animals, mitochondria have been shown to integrate various signals and to subsequently modulate cell death processes whereas in plants, the contribution of mitochondria in cell death regulation remains unclear, particularly during leaf senescence.

Therefore, we are currently investigating in more detail the role of mitochondria during both developmental (i.e. aging) and stress-induced leaf senescence (Fig. 4). Illustration of metabolic processes in the mitochondrium Figure 4: Production of glutamate, reducing equivalents and TCA cycle intermediates from catabolic reactions occurring in the mitochondrion during developmental leaf senescence (Chrobok et al., 2016). Transcriptomic overview of the mitochondrially localised portion of the following metabolic pathways: (I) Lysine degradation, (II) branched chain amino acid degradation, (III) D-2HG metabolism, (IV) Glycine and Alanine metabolism, (V) Urea Cycle and (VI) Proline metabolism. Specific genes of these pathways and their transcript abundance during developmental leaf senescence are illustrated here. Production of reducing equivalents is shown as an arrow with an electron (e-).

3. Towards sustainable food production

Among a few other things, we are also interested in complementary alternatives for food production systems. In particular, we are involved in several projects aiming at developing integrated aqua-agro systems in closed land-based units. The strategic implementation of numerous trophic layers within a production system is a natural way to achieve a higher sustainability while maintaining the whole production economically viable.

A concept scheme (Fig. 5), released for the PLATSEN* event end of 2016 depicts some of the interrelationships between the different trophic layers that can be implemented to for example urban farming system in order to achieve a circularity, i.e. a better use of biowaste, energy and resources.

PLATSEN is thought as a platform where decision makers, politicians, scientists, NGOs and people from public and private sectors can meet and exchange and discuss ideas about sustainability in an urban environment. The 2016 event was initiated by the Swedish Scientific Council for Sustainability in collaboration with several other actors from the public and private sectors e.g. Umeå Municipality and Umeå University.

In plants, several procedures are available to isolate mitochondria from the other cell compartments, as high-quality purified extracts are often necessary for accurate molecular biology or biochemistry investigations. Protocols based on differential centrifugations and subsequent density gradients are an effective way to extract rather pure and intact mitochondria within a few hours. However, while mitochondria from seedlings, large leaves or tubers are relatively easy to extract, tissue-specific isolation of organelles had remained a challenge. This has recently been circumvented, only in transformable plants though, by the use of affinity-tagged mitochondria and their isolation with magnetic beads.We hereby describe a step-by-step protocol for the rapid and tissue-specific isolation of Arabidopsis thaliana mitochondria, a method named IMTACT (Isolation of Mitochondria TAgged in specific Cell Types). Cell-specific biotinylated mitochondria are isolated with streptavidin magnetic beads in less than 30 min from sampling to final extract. Key steps, enrichment, bead size comparison, and mitochondrial depletion in the sample are also reported in order to facilitate the experimental setup of the user.},

            Iron–sulfur (Fe–S) clusters are prosthetic groups ensuring electron transfer reactions, activating substrates for catalytic reactions, providing sulfur atoms for the biosynthesis of vitamins or other cofactors, or having protein-stabilizing effects. Hence, metalloproteins containing these cofactors are essential for numerous and diverse metabolic pathways and cellular processes occurring in the cytoplasm. Mitochondria are organelles where the Fe–S cluster demand is high, notably because the activity of the respiratory chain complexes I, II, and III relies on the correct assembly and functioning of Fe–S proteins. Several other proteins or complexes present in the matrix require Fe–S clusters as well, or depend either on Fe–S proteins such as ferredoxins or on cofactors such as lipoic acid or biotin whose synthesis relies on Fe–S proteins. In this review, we have listed and discussed the Fe–S-dependent enzymes or pathways in plant mitochondria including some potentially novel Fe–S proteins identified based on in silico analysis or on recent evidence obtained in non-plant organisms. We also provide information about recent developments concerning the molecular mechanisms involved in Fe–S cluster synthesis and trafficking steps of these cofactors from maturation factors to client apoproteins.},

            Plant mitogenomes can be difficult to assemble because they are structurally dynamic and prone to intergenomic DNA transfers, leading to the unusual situation where an organelle genome is far outnumbered by its nuclear counterparts. As a result, comparative mitogenome studies are in their infancy and some key aspects of genome evolution are still known mainly from pregenomic, qualitative methods. To help address these limitations, we combined machine learning and in silico enrichment of mitochondrial-like long reads to assemble the bacterial-sized mitogenome of Norway spruce (Pinaceae: Picea abies). We conducted comparative analyses of repeat abundance, intergenomic transfers, substitution and rearrangement rates, and estimated repeat-by-repeat homologous recombination rates. Prompted by our discovery of highly recombinogenic small repeats in P. abies, we assessed the genomic support for the prevailing hypothesis that intramolecular recombination is predominantly driven by repeat length, with larger repeats facilitating DNA exchange more readily. Overall, we found mixed support for this view: Recombination dynamics were heterogeneous across vascular plants and highly active small repeats (ca. 200 bp) were present in about one-third of studied mitogenomes. As in previous studies, we did not observe any robust relationships among commonly studied genome attributes, but we identify variation in recombination rates as a underinvestigated source of plant mitogenome diversity.},

	abstract = {Sugar metabolism and the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OPPP) are strongly implicated in N assimilation, although the relationship between them and the roles of the plastidial and cytosolic OPPP have not been established genetically. We studied a knock-down mutant of the plastid-localized OPPP enzyme 6-phosphogluconolactonase 3 (PGL3). pgl3-1 plants exhibited relatively greater resource allocation to roots but were smaller than the wild type. They had a lower content of amino acids and free in leaves than the wild type, despite exhibiting comparable photosynthetic rates and efficiency, and normal levels of many other primary metabolites. When N-deprived plants were fed via the roots with , pgl3-1 exhibited normal induction of OPPP and nitrate assimilation genes in roots, and amino acids in roots and shoots were labeled with 15N at least as rapidly as in the wild type. However, when N-replete plants were fed via the roots with sucrose, expression of specific OPPP and N assimilation genes in roots increased in the wild type but not in pgl3-1. Thus, sugar-dependent expression of N assimilation genes requires OPPP activity and the specificity of the effect of the pgl3-1 mutation on N assimilation genes establishes that it is not the result of general energy deficiency or accumulation of toxic intermediates. We conclude that expression of specific nitrate assimilation genes in the nucleus of root cells is positively regulated by a signal emanating from OPPP activity in the plastid.},

	abstract = {Leaf senescence is an organized process, which requires fine tuning between nuclear gene expression, activity of proteases and the maintenance of primary metabolism. Recently, we reported that leaf senescence was accompanied by an early degradation of the microtubule cytoskeleton in Arabidopsis thaliana. As the cytoskeleton is essential for cell stability, vesicle shuttling and organelle mobility, it might be asked how the regulation of these cell functions occurs with such drastic modifications of the cytoskeleton. Based on confocal laser microscopy observations and a micro-array analysis, the following addendum shows that mitochondrial mobility is conserved until the late stages of leaf senescence and provides evidences that the actin-cytoskeleton is maintained longer than the microtubule network. This conservation of actin-filaments is discussed with regards to energy metabolism as well as calcium signaling during programmed cell death.},

            The dynamic assembly and disassembly of microtubules (MTs) is essential for cell function. Although leaf senescence is a well-documented process, the role of the MT cytoskeleton during senescence in plants remains unknown. Here, we show that both natural leaf senescence and senescence of individually darkened Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) leaves are accompanied by early degradation of the MT network in epidermis and mesophyll cells, whereas guard cells, which do not senesce, retain their MT network. Similarly, entirely darkened plants, which do not senesce, retain their MT network. While genes encoding the tubulin subunits and the bundling/stabilizing MT-associated proteins (MAPs) MAP65 and MAP70-1 were repressed in both natural senescence and dark-induced senescence, we found strong induction of the gene encoding the MT-destabilizing protein MAP18. However, induction of MAP18 gene expression was also observed in leaves from entirely darkened plants, showing that its expression is not sufficient to induce MT disassembly and is more likely to be part of a Ca2+-dependent signaling mechanism. Similarly, genes encoding the MT-severing protein katanin p60 and two of the four putative regulatory katanin p80s were repressed in the dark, but their expression did not correlate with degradation of the MT network during leaf senescence. Taken together, these results highlight the earliness of the degradation of the cortical MT array during leaf senescence and lead us to propose a model in which suppression of tubulin and MAP genes together with induction of MAP18 play key roles in MT disassembly during senescence.},

	abstract = {The Arabidopsis genome has two fumarase genes, one of which encodes a protein with mitochondrial targeting information (FUM1) while the other (FUM2) does not. We show that a FUM1–green fluorescent protein fusion is directed to mitochondria while FUM2–red fluorescent protein remains in the cytosol. While mitochondrial FUM1 is an essential gene, cytosolic FUM2 is not required for plant growth. However FUM2 is required for the massive accumulation of carbon into fumarate that occurs in Arabidopsis leaves during the day. In fum2 knock-out mutants, fumarate levels remain low while malate increases, and these changes can be reversed with a FUM2 transgene. The fum2 mutant has lower levels of many amino acids in leaves during the day compared with the wild type, but higher levels at night, consistent with a link between fumarate and amino acid metabolism. To further test this relationship we grew plants in the absence or presence of nitrogen fertilizer. The amount of fumarate in leaves increased several fold in response to nitrogen in wild-type plants, but not in fum2. Malate increased to a small extent in the wild type but to a greater extent in fum2. Growth of fum2 plants was similar to that of the wild type in low nitrogen but much slower in the presence of high nitrogen. Activities of key enzymes of nitrogen assimilation were similar in both genotypes. We conclude that FUM2 is required for the accumulation of fumarate in leaves, which is in turn required for rapid nitrogen assimilation and growth on high nitrogen.},

In plants, several Trx-interacting proteins have been isolated from different compartments, whereas very few Grx-interacting proteins are known. We describe here the determination of Grx target proteins using a mutated poplar Grx, various tissular and subcellular plant extracts, and liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry detection. We have identified 94 putative targets, involved in many processes, including oxidative stress response [peroxiredoxins (Prxs), ascorbate peroxidase, catalase], nitrogen, sulfur, and carbon metabolisms (methionine synthase, alanine aminotransferase, phosphoglycerate kinase), translation (elongation factors E and Tu), or protein folding (heat shock protein 70). Some of these proteins were previously found to interact with Trx or to be glutathiolated in other organisms, but others could be more specific partners of Grx. To substantiate further these data, Grx was shown to support catalysis of the stroma β-type carbonic anhydrase and Prx IIF of Arabidopsis thaliana, but not of poplar 2-Cys Prx. Overall, these data suggest that the interaction could occur randomly either with exposed cysteinyl disulfide bonds formed within or between target proteins or with mixed disulfides between a protein thiol and glutathione.Antioxid.

Fire-produced charcoal is suggested to play an important role in rejuvenating those ecosystems by adsorbing allelopathic compounds, such as phenols, released by E. hermaphroditum. In this study, we firstly investigated whether the adsorption capacity of charcoal of different plant species varies according to the wood anatomical structures of these, and secondly we tried to relate the adsorption capacity to wood anatomical structure. Charcoal was produced from eight boreal and one temperate woody plant species and the adsorption capacity of charcoal was tested by bioassays technique. Seed germination was used as a measurement of the ability of charcoal to adsorb allelochemicals. The charcoal porosity was estimated and the pore size distribution was then calculated in order to relate the wood anatomical features to the adsorption capacity. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of charcoal was significantly different between plant species and that deciduous trees had a significantly higher adsorption capacity than conifers and ericaceous species. The presence of macro-pores rather than a high porosity appears to be the most important for the adsorption capacity. These results suggest that fire-produced charcoal has different ability to adsorb phenols in boreal forest soil, and therefore may have differing effects on the germination of seeds of establishing tree seedlings.},
