ABSTRACT
24
Glucosinolates are secondary metabolites that play important roles in plant defense and human
25
health, as their production in plants is enhanced by overexpressing transcription factors. Here,
26
four cabbage transcription factors (IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2) affecting genes
27
in both aliphatic and indolic glucosinolates biosynthetic pathways and increasing glucosinolates
28
accumulation were overexpressed in watercress. Five IQD1-1, six IQD1-2, five MYB29-1, six
29
MYB29-2, and one GUS hairy root lines were created. The expression of all genes involved in
30
glucosinolates biosynthesis was higher in transgenic lines than in the GUS hairy root line, in
31
agreement with total glucosinolates contents, determined by high-performance liquid
32
chromatography. In transgenic IQD1-1(1), IQD1-2(4), MYB29-1(2), and MYB29-2(1) hairy root
33
lines total glucosinolates were 3.39-, 3.04-, 2.58-, and 4.69-fold higher than those in the GUS
34
hairy root lines, respectively. These results suggest a central regulatory function for IQD1-1,
35
IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2 transcription factors in glucosinolates biosynthesis in
36
watercress hairy roots.

INTRODUCTION
46
Glucosinolates (GSLs) are sulfur-rich secondary metabolites that play important roles in plant
47
defense against herbivores and microbes1 and have various biological activities related to human
48
health.2-5 These metabolites are found almost exclusively within the order Brassicales including
49
watercress (N. officinale),6 rapeseed (B. napus),7 cabbage (B. oleracea),8 Chinese cabbage (B.
50
rapa),1 and the model plant A. thaliana.9 In plants, roughly 200 different GSL are accumulation
51
occur naturally. According to their amino acid precursor, GSLs are divided into three groups:
52
aliphatic GSLs, derived from methionine, isoleucine, leucine, and valine; aromatic GSLs,
53
derived from phenylalanine or tyrosine; and indolic GSLs, derived from tryptophan.9 To date,
54
almost all genes involved in the GSL biosynthetic pathway have been identified10,11 and are
55
known to be positively regulated by several transcription factors (TFs)11 including IQD1-1,
56
Dof1.1, MYB28, MYB34, MYB29, MYB51, MYB76, and MYB122.12 MYB28, MYB29, and
57
MYB76 control the biosynthesis of aliphatic GSLs,13,14 but MYB34, MYB51, and MYB122
58
control the biosynthesis of indolic GSLs,15 and Dof1.1 and IQD1-1 control the biosynthesis of
59
both aliphatic and indolic GSLs.16,17 The MYB29 TF, which controls the biosynthesis of high
60
aliphatic GSLs, was shown to specifically trans-activate genes of the aliphatic GSL biosynthetic
61
pathway (Figure 1), i.e. MAM1-3, CYP79F1, CYP83A1, SUR1, SOT17, and SOT18.13,14,18
62
Yimeng Li et al.19 showed that expression levels of BCAT4 were affected by MYB29 gene
63
manipulation. The TF IQD1 (IQ67 Domain1) is a founding member of the IQD family that
64
affects the expression of multiple genes involved in GSL metabolism.16 Plant-specific IQD gene
65
families have been comprehensively annotated in A. thaliana,20,21 rice (O. sativa),20 tomato (S.
66
lycopersicum),22 Chinese cabbage (B. rapa),1,23 soybean (G. max),24,25 and black cottonwood (P.
67
trichocarpa)26 genomes. In cabbage (B. oleracea), IQD1-1 (Bo1g144340.1), IQD1-2

(Bo3g061890.1), MYB29-1 (Bo9g175680.1), and MYB29-2 (Bo3g004500.1) TF genes were
69
identified and published on http://plants.ensembl.org/Brassica_oleracea/; however, their
70
functions have not been studied so far.
71
Watercress is an aquatic herb belonging to family Cruciferae (mustard family) rich in
72
secondary metabolites such as GSLs, carotenoids, and chlorophyll, and with potential
73
antioxidant,27,28 anti-genotoxic, anti-proliferative, and anti-metastatic29 activities. In particular,
74
watercress contains high amounts of 2-phenylethyl glucosinolate (gluconasturtiin) and 2-
75
phenylethyl isothiocyanate, which participate in tumor growth suppression.30 Several studies
76
have recently identified GSLs in watercress hairy roots. Wielanek et al.31 identified
77
glucotropaeolin and gluconasturtiin (7.03 and 24.30 mg g-1 dry weight, respectively) in
78
watercress hairy roots using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Il Park
79
et al.6 reported that the levels of indolic GSLs, including glucobrassicin and 4-
80
methoxyglucobrassicin, as well as that of the aromatic glucosinolate gluconasturtiin, were
81
identical or higher in transformed than in wild type roots of watercress. However, the effects of
82
TFs on the accumulation of GSLs in watercress hairy roots have not been examined so far.
83
Hairy roots, which are induced by A. rhizogenes R1000 at or near the site of infection of
84
a plant, with phenotypic and biochemical stability, al so fast growth rate, they are considered as
85
alternative material for the production of secondary metabolites. Given the richness of GSL
86
compounds in watercress and the good characteristics of hairy roots, watercress hairy root are
87
probably a good model for large-scale production of GSL. In the present study, we enhanced
88
GSL production in watercress hairy roots by overexpressing the cabbage TFs IQD1-1, IQD1-2,
89
MYB29-1, and MYB29-2, which affect genes in both indolic and aliphatic GSL pathways, as
90
well as GSL accumulation. These results will be a valuable resource for further research on 4 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

MATERIALS AND METHODS
95
Plasmid Construction. Plasmid construction followed the method of Pham Anh Tuan et
96
al..32 A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to generate the coding regions of GUS
97
(Accession numbers: AJ298139.1) and IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2, based on their
98
full-length sequences reported in http://plants.ensembl.org/Brassica_oleracea/ with accession
99
numbers Bo1g144340.1, Bo3g061890.1, Bo9g175680.1, Bo3g004500.1, respectively. A BP
100
Clonase II (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) kit was used to insert these genes into the
101
pDONR221 vector (Invitrogen), which was subsequently transformed into TOP10 Escherichia
102
coli cells (Invitrogen) by the heat-shock method (42°C for 30 s). Kanamycin (50 mg/L) and
103
sequencing methods were used for selecting and confirming gene inserts in the recombinant
104
plasmids. Briefly, vectors pDONR221-GUS, pDONR221-IQD1-1, pDONR221-IQD1-2,
105
pDONR221-MYB29-1, and pDONR221-MYB29-2 were excised and recombined into a
106
pK7FWG2 (http://www.psb.ugent.be/gateway/) overexpression vector using LR Clonase
107
(Invitrogen). The resulting constructs, named pK7FWG2-GUS, pK7FWG2-IQD1-1, pK7FWG2-
108
IQD1-2, pK7FWG2-MYB29-1, and pK7FWG2-MYB29-2, respectively, consisted of a
109
cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter, neomycin phosphotransferase (NPTII) gene,
110
and GUS, IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, or MYB29-2 sequences, respectively. The electroporation
111
method was use to transfer constructs into A. rhizogenes strain R1000, then grown on Luria-
112
Bertani medium consists of kanamycin (50 mg/L) at 28 °C and sequenced.

Plant Material. Watercress (N. officinale) seeds were obtained from Asia Seed Co., Ltd
114
(Seoul, Korea). After surface-sterilization with 70% (v/v) ethanol for 30 s, seeds preserved in
115
4.5% (v/v) sodium hypochlorite solution for 10 min were rinsed five times in sterilized water,
116
germinated on half-strength Murashige and Skoog (1/2 MS) medium33 with 0.8% agar (pH 5.7),
117
and incubated at 25°C under 16 h light/8 h dark conditions.
118
Induction of Hairy Roots. Leaves of 2-week-old watercress seedlings were exposed to A.
119
rhizogenes strain R1000 harboring pK7FWG2-GUS, pK7FWG2-IQD1-1, pK7FWG2-IQD1-2,
120
pK7FWG2-MYB29-1, or pK7FWG2-MYB29-2 constructs and cultured on Luria-Bertani (LB)
121
medium (sodium chloride 10g/l, trypton 10g/l, yeast extract 5g/l, bactoMT agar 15g/l). After for
122
10 min exposure, using sterile filter paper to blotted dry, then watercress leaves were transferred
123
to agar-solidified MS medium (pH 5.7), and put in cultivation chamber for 2 days under dark
124
light condition at 25°C. After 2 days, watercress leaves washed with sterile distilled water, put in
125
agar-solidified 1/2 MS contained 250 mg/L cefotaxime and grown in cultivation chamber under
126
dark light for 3 weeks. Hairy roots produced during this period were isolated and cultured
127
independently on agar-solidified 1/2 MS with 250 mg/L cefotaxime. Once fully grown, 100 mg
128
of each hairy root were transferred to 1/2 MS liquid medium and grown at 25°C and 16 h light/8
129
h dark conditions under continuous shaking (100 rpm). After 4 weeks, hairy roots were harvested
130
and immediately incubated in liquid nitrogen then stored at - 80°C for analysis of gene
131
expression or accumulation GSL compounds.
132
Genomic DNA Isolation and PCR Analysis. Total DNAs were isolated from different
133
hairy root lines using the Plant Genomic DNA Mini Kit (Geneaid Biotech Ltd., New Taipei City,
134
Taiwan), and their quality and concentration were determined by electrophoresis using a 1.2%
135
agarose gel and the NanoVue™ Plus spectrophotometer (GE Healthcare UK Limited,
6 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 6 of 25
Page 7 of 25
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
136
Buckinghamshire, UK), respectively. To determine if hairy root transformation was successful,
137
each hairy root was examined by PCR with primers for Rol and NPTII genes (Table 1). The PCR
138
profile used for amplifications was: 95°C for 5 min; 35 cycles of 95°C for 10 s; annealing
139
temperature of each gene for 30 s (Table 1), and 72°C for 1 min; final extension at 72°C for 10
140
min. After amplification, 20 µL of amplified PCR products were examined by electrophoresis on
141
1.2% agarose gels.
142
RNA Isolation and cDNA Synthesis. Total RNAs of different hairy root lines were
143
isolated using the Easy BLUE Total RNA Kit (iNtRON, Seongnam, Korea). The quality and
144
concentration of each RNA were determined by electrophoresis using a 1.2% agarose gel and the
145
NanoVue™ Plus spectrophotometer, respectively. The ReverTra Ace-kit (Toyobo Co. Ltd.,
146
Osaka, Japan) was used for cDNA synthesis based on 1 μg high-quality total RNA. The cDNA
147
samples obtained were diluted 20-fold as template for quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR).
148
Quantitative Real-time PCR Analysis. Based on the sequences of the cabbage TFs IQD1-
149
1 (Bo1g144340.1), IQD1-2 (Bo3g061890.1), MYB29-1 (Bo9g175680.1), and MYB29-2
150
(Bo3g004500.1) published in http://plants.ensembl.org/Brassica_oleracea/Transcript/ and on the
151
19 GSL gene sequences reported for watercress,30 Primer 3 (http://bioinfo.ut.ee/primer3-
152
0.4.0/primer3/)34 were designed qRT-PCR primers in this study (Table 1). The qRT-PCR
153
reaction include cDNA (5 µL), primers (2 µL), water(3 µL), 2× SYBR Green buffer (10 µL)
154
with amplification conditions were: 95°C (5 min); 40 cycles of 95°C (20 s), 56°C (20 s), 72°C
155
(20 s); and 72°C (8 min). The expression of genes was calculated relative to that of elongation
156
factor 1-α (EF-1-α; Accession number: GO479260), which was used as the internal reference
157
gene. Each reaction was performed in triplicate and analyzed using the Bio-Rad CFX Manager
158
2.0 software (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA).

159
HPLC Analysis. Extraction and HPLC analysis of the desulfated forms of GSLs were
160
performed as previously reported. 1 GSLs were extracted from 100 mg of freeze-dried sample in
161
4.5 mL boiling 70% (v/v) methanol for 5 min, and centrifuged (12,000 rpm) in 10 min at 4°C. To
162
elute the extracted GSLs in extract solution, a DEAE-Sephadex A-25 ion exchanger (Sigma-
163
Aldrich Korea, Seoul, South Korea) was used. The Agilent Technologies 1200 series HPLC
164
system (Palo Alto, CA, USA) including ODS-2 column (10 × 2.0 mm i.d., particle size 5 μm)
165
and ODS-3 column (150 × 3.0 mm i.d., particle size 3 μm) from GL Sciences, Tokyo, Japan
166
were used to identify GSLs in sample with 227 nm of maximum wavelength, 40°C of column
167
oven temperature and 0.2 mL/min of flow rate, respectively. The solvent systems employed were
168
water (solvent A) and 100% acetonitrile (solvent B). The following gradient program (27 min in
169
total) was used: 0% solvent B, 0 min; 0% to 10% increase in solvent B, 0–2 min; 10% solvent B,
170
2–7 min; 10% to 31% steadily increase in solvent B, 7–16 min; 31% solvent B, 16–19 min; 31%
171
to 0% decrease in solvent B, 19–21 min; and 0% solvent B, 21–27 min. Individual GSLs were
172
identified based on their HPLC peak area ratios, reference to a desulfo-sinigrin external standard,
173
and response factors (ISO 9167-1, 1992). Measurements were performed in triplicate and
174
analyzed using SAS 9.2 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA).
175
Statistical Analysis. For real-time PCR or HPLC statistical analysis, measurements were
176
performed in triplicate and analyzed using Bio-Rad CFX Manager 2.0 software (Bio-Rad
177
Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) or SAS 9.2 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA), respectively.

(data not show), the transcription levels of IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2 of hairy
182
roots from different watercress lines were analyzed by qRT-PCR. High levels of IQD1-1, IQD1-
183
2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2 transcripts were found in the respective transgenic hairy root lines,
184
but not in the GUS hairy roots line (Figure 2). Maximum transcript expression levels for IQD1-1,
185
IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2 were detected in IQD1-1(1), IQD1-2(4), MYB29-1(2), and
186
MYB29-2(1) lines, respectively. Overall, transcript levels were ranked in descending order as
187
follows: IQD1-1(1)> IQD1-1(3)> IQD1-1(5)> IQD1-1(4)> IQD1-1(2) for IQD1-1; IQD1-2(4)>
188
IQD1-2(6)> IQD1-2(5)> IQD1-2(1)> IQD1-2(2)> IQD1-2(3) for IQD1-2; MYB29-1(2)>

MYB29-2(3)> MYB29-2(6)> MYB29-2(5)> MYB29-2(2)> MYB29-2(4) for MYB29-2. Lines
191
IQD1-1(1), IQD1-2(4), MYB29-1(2), and MYB29-2(1) were selected for further analysis.
192
Expression of The Genes Involved in The GSL Biosynthesis Pathway. To investigate the
193
regulation of GSL biosynthetic genes by IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2 TFs, the
194
expression levels of NoBCAT4, NoMAM1, NoMAM3, NoCYP79F1, NoCYP83A1, NoGSTF11,
195
NoGSTF20, NoGGP1, NoSUR1, NoUGT74C1, NoST5b, NoST5c, NoCYP79B2, NoCYP79B3,
196
NoCYP83B1, NoGSTF10, NoUGT74B1, NoST5a, NoCYP81F2, and NoIGMT1 were analyzed in
197
IQD1-1(1), IQD1-2(4), MYB29-1(2), MYB29-2(1), and GUS hairy root lines (Figure 3). Genes
198
involved in aliphatic GSL biosynthesis include NoBCAT4, NoMAM1, NoMAM3, NoCYP79F1,
199
NoCYP83A1, NoGSTF11, NoGSTF20, NoGGP1, NoSUR1, NoUGT74C1, NoST5b, and NoST5c
200
and these were expressed to a higher extent in IQD1-1(1), IQD1-2(4), MYB29-1(2), and
201
MYB29-2(1) hairy root lines than in GUS hairy root line.
202
Expression levels of NoCYP79B2, NoCYP83B1, NoGSTF10, NoUGT74B1, NoST5a,
203
NoCYP81F2, and NoIGMT1, which are involved in indolic GSL biosynthesis pathway were also 9 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
204
expressed to a higher extent in IQD1-1(1) and IQD1-2(4) hairy root lines than in GUS hairy root
205
line. Expression levels of NoCYP79B2, NoCYP79B3, NoCYP83B1, and NoST5a in MYB29-1(2)
206
and MYB29-2(1) hairy root lines were similar to that in GUS hairy root line (Figure 3), whereas
207
expression levels of NoGSTF10, NoCYP81F2, NoUGT74B1, and NoIGMT1 in MYB29-1(2) and
208
MYB29-2(1) hairy root lines were not much higher than in GUS hairy root line. Expression
209
levels of NoUGT74B1 and NoIGMT1 were higher in MYB29-2(1) than in MYB29-1(2) hairy
210
root line. These results suggested that NoGSTF10, NoCYP81F2, NoUGT74B1, and NoIGMT1
211
expression was responsible for the small increase in the accumulation of indolic GSLs observed
212
in MYB29-1 and MYB29-2 hairy root lines compared to that observed in the GUS hairy root
213
line.

GSL Production in Lines Overexpressing IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2.
215
According to HPLC results, GSL content significantly increased in transgenic hairy root lines
216
compared to the GUS hairy root line (Table 2). Specifically, total GSL content in IQD1-1(1),
217
IQD1-2(4), MYB29-1(2), and MYB29-2(1) hairy root lines was 17.77, 15.91, 13.50, and 24.59
218
µg/g dry weight, and increased by 3.39-, 3.04-, 2.58-, and 4.69-fold compared to that in the GUS
219
hairy root line (5.24 µg/g dry weight), respectively. The accumulation of total aliphatic GSLs
220
was higher in transgenic hairy root lines than in the GUS hairy root line. In fact, glucoiberin,
221
glucocochlearin, glucobrassicanapin, and glucoerucin, all aliphatic GSLs, were not detected in
222
the GUS hairy root line but appeared in transgenic hairy root lines. Furthermore, glucoiberin and
223
glucocochlearin were detected in all transgenic hairy root lines, while glucobrassicanapin and
224
glucoerucin were only found in MYB29-1(2) and MYB29-2(1) hairy root lines. The
225
accumulation of total aliphatic GSLs was highest in MYB29-2(1) (2.23 µg/g dry weight),
226
followed by IQD1-2(4) (1.81 µg/g dry weight), MYB29-1(2) (1.58 µg/g dry weight), and IQD1-

weight), MYB29-2(1) (7.04 µg/g dry weight), and MYB29-1(2) (4.74 µg/g dry weight), and
231
increased by 2.85-, 2.21-, 1.73-, 1.17-fold compared to that in the GUS hairy root line (4.06 µg/g
232
dry weight), respectively. The accumulation of 4-methoxyglucobrassicin in the MYB29-2(1)
233
hairy root line was higher than in the GUS hairy root line, in agreement with the transcript levels
234
of NoUGT74B1 and NoIGMT1, which were higher in the MYB29-2(1) hairy root line than in the
235
GUS hairy root line. Interestingly, the concentration of gluconasturtiin, a main content of
236
aromatic GSL, increased by 9.58-, 10.89-, 15.42-, and 32.42-fold in IQD1-1(1), IQD1-2(4),
237
MYB29-1(2), and MYB29-2(1) hairy root lines in relation to the GUS hairy root line (Table 2).
238
In the present study, GSL production in watercress hairy roots was enhanced by overexpressing
239
the cabbage TFs IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2, all regulating genes in the indolic
240
and aliphatic GSL pathway and GSL accumulation. To assess differences in GSL biosynthetic
241
pathways between transgenic and GUS hairy root lines, we compared the accumulation of GSLs
242
with the expression levels of the genes involved in their biosynthesis in tissues from 3-week-old
243
transgenic watercress hairy root lines and from a GUS hairy root line. Both the GSL profile and
244
expression levels of the genes involved in their corresponding biosynthetic pathways were
245
considerably distinct between transgenic and GUS hairy root lines. The total GSL content was
246
considerably higher in the transgenic hairy root lines than in the GUS hairy root line, in
247
agreement with the generally higher transcript levels of the genes related to GSL biosynthesis.
248
The overexpression of IQD1-1 and IQD1-2 led to an increase in the expression of genes
249
associated with GSL biosynthesis and accumulation (including both aliphatic and indolic GSLs),
11 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

250
similar to that previously reported by Maggie Levy et al. These authors reported that IQD1
251
functions as a positive regulator of GSL accumulation, increasing the content of total GSLs up to
252
2-fold that observed in wild-type A. thaliana. While MYb29-1 and MYB29-2 overexpression led
253
to an increase in aliphatic GSLs in watercress hairy roots, IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and
254
MYB29-2 overexpression stimulated the expression of genes involved in the GSL biosynthetic
255
pathway, inducing GSL accumulation. Similarly, Hirai et al. and Gigolashvili et al. 35,36 reported
256
that MYB29 probably played a key role in the regulation of aliphatic GSL biosynthetic genes in
257
A. thaliana. Moreover, MYB29 overexpression increased the levels of both short- and long-
258
chained aliphatic GSLs in plants.13 In fact, the content of the main short-chained aliphatic
259
glucosinolate 4-methylsulfinylbutyl was increased about 2- to 4-fold, and that of 3-
260
methylsulfinylpropyl and 5-methylsulfinylpentyl GSLs about 2- to 6-fold in relation to control
261
plants. The MYB29 TF was shown to specifically trans-activate genes within the aliphatic GSL
262
biosynthetic pathway, namely, MAM1-3, CYP79F1, CYP83A1, SUR1, SOT17, and SOT18.13,14,18
263
Yimeng Li et al.19 showed that expression levels of BCAT4 were also affected by MYB29 gene
264
manipulation.
265
To our knowledge, this is the first study to enhance GSL production in the hairy roots of
266
watercress by overexpressing the cabbage TFs IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2.
267
Results obtained here might be useful for elucidating GSL biosynthetic pathways in hairy roots
268
or for targeted genetic engineering, as it is clearly shown that GSL production depends on the
269
examined TFs. Transgenic hairy roots produced higher levels of GSLs and generally exhibited
270
higher gene transcript levels than GUS hairy roots, suggesting that MYB29-1 and MYB29-2 TFs
271
have a central regulatory role in the aliphatic GSL pathway while IQD1-1 and IQD1-2 TFs play
272
a key role in both aliphatic and indolic GSL biosynthesis.
