Temperature stress differentially modulates transcription in meiotic anthers of tolerant and sensitive tomato plants

ABSTRACT: We have used cDNA-AFLP and microarray analyses to profile the response of the tomato meiotic anther transcriptome to moderate heat stress condition in Moneymaker or Falcorosso and HeatSet1 tomato genotype. Combimatrix microarray technology were applied to obtain a general overview of the gene expression in meiotic anthers of a tolerant and a sensitive tomato genotype. We analyzed three time points (0,2,and 6h) for each genotype. For each sample we performed three biological replicates.

<h4>Background</h4>Fluctuations in temperature occur naturally during plant growth and reproduction. However, in the hot summers this variation may become stressful and damaging for the molecular mechanisms involved in proper cell growth, impairing thus plant development and particularly fruit-set in many crop plants. Tolerance to such a stress can be achieved by constitutive gene expression or by rapid changes in gene expression, which ultimately leads to protection against thermal damage. We h ...[more]

Project description:Tomatoes are one of the valuable sources of antioxidants such as carotenes, ascorbic acid (AsA), and phenolic compounds (flavonoids and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives). These secondary metabolites have been proved to be beneficial for humans and animals because their involvement in the prevention of many proliferative and degenerative diseases. The aim of this work is to gain greater insights in the genetic control of phenylpropanoid accumulation in tomato fruit by using genomics-based strategies. In order to identify QTLs controlling antioxidant accumulation in tomato fruit we carried out a comparative analysis of Solanum pennellii x S. lycopersicum cv. M82 introgression lines (ILs) over three year trials in greenhouse environment. Among all, IL7-3 showed higher fruit content of total phenolics and the HPLC-UV profile revealed that chlorogenic acid mainly accounted for the higher performance of this line. To investigate in details genetic mechanisms and candidate genes controlling phenols synthesis and accumulation in IL7-3 fruit we performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis in tomato pericarp. In particular, RNA was extracted from percarp of IL7-3 and M82 parental line and hybridized on a 90k Combimatrix TomatArray 1.0. The experiment was repeated over two consecutive years. The transcriptomic approach allowed to identify 291 differentially expressed transcripts, 149 showing up-rgulation and 142 down-regulation. The ethylene signaling pathway has been involved in the modulation of the level of total phenolics in ripe fruit. In particular, an Ethilene Responsive Factor 1 (ERF1) was functionally characterized by TILLING (Targeting Local Lesion IN Genomes) approach. The mutant line expressed lower accumulation of phenolics in the fruit and additional insights on the regulation of phenolics in tomato ripe fruit were provided. Comparative microarray analysis between a tomato introgression line (IL7-3) expressing higher level of fruit total phenolics and its parental cultivar M82 (reference) was performed. In particular, samples were generated by pooling red-ripe fruit from the same plant and discarding the seeds, jelly parenchyma, columella and placenta tissues. Three plant replica were used for each line (IL7-3 and M82) and the experiment was replicated over two consecutive years.
