Expression data from micropropagated Vitis vinifera when transferred to ex vitro conditions

ABSTRACT: Oxidative stress can arise when in vitro propagated plants developed under low light conditions are exposed to high light during transfer to ex vitro conditions. In such a situation, among the many potential stresses to which the transferred plant can be exposed, oxidative stress is commonly experienced, most likely brought about by absorption of light energy in excess of that required for very low levels of photosynthetic metabolism. In vitro propagated grapevine when transferred to ex vitro conditions with a 4 fold increase in PPFD shows an initial inhibition of PET accompanied by an accumulation of H2O2, suggesting a signal for the upregulation in gene expression and antioxidant enzyme activity, which peaked at 48h after transfer of in vitro grapevine to ex vitro growing conditions. When in vitro propagated plants are exposed to high light upon transfer to ex vitro oxidative stress symptoms occur. To determine whether the underlying pathways activated at the transfer of in vitro grapevine to ex vitro conditions reflect the processes occurring upon light stress we used microarrays. Leaves were harvested from in vitro grown plants immediately prior to transfer to ex vitro condition and 48h after transfer to compare gene expression before and after exposure of these plants to the high light conditions typical of ex vitro growth.

Understanding abiotic stress responses is one of the most important issues in plant research nowadays. Abiotic stress, including excess light, can promote the onset of oxidative stress through the accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Oxidative stress also arises when in vitro propagated plants are exposed to high light upon transfer to ex vitro. To determine whether the underlying pathways activated at the transfer of in vitro grapevine to ex vitro conditions reflect the processes occurring ...[more]

Project description:Plants growth and development is highly dependent on the environment. During there lifespan, plants are submitted to changing environmental conditions that requires constant metabolic adjustments. In particular, in vitro cultured plantlets are exposed, throughout micropropagation, to unique growth conditions characterized by distinctive levels of nitrogen, exogenous sugar, light and atmospheric conditions. To resume growth upon transfer ex vitro, in vitro plantlets must acclimatize to natural conditions. In this study, the impact of the in vitro environment on the expression profile of tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum) plantlets was analysed using the microarray and real-time PCR methods. After 20 days of growth in vitro, a significant increase in expression of genes linked to photosynthesis, nitrogen metabolism and salicylic acid signaling pathways was observed. By opposition, the expression of transcripts associated to carbohydrate metabolism and jasmonic acid signaling pathway were reduced. Also, the expression of reactive oxygen scavenging (ROS) enzymes in the mitochondrias, chloroplasts and cytosol were altered in in vitro cultured tomato plantlets. More precisely, the in vitro environment led to increased photosynthetic gene expression, lower sink strength, up-regulation of nitrogen assimilation and induced a specific stress response in tomato plantlets. Our results suggest that the presence of exogenous sugar is an important environmental cue that governs the modified cell ROS pattern, defense-related genes modulation and abnormal physiology of in vitro plantlets. Keywords: environmental challenge, growth condition comparison, expression profile Three biological replicates consisting of three individual plantlets grown in different vessels (in vitro) or pots (ex vitro) were used for the competitive hybridization. To reduce possible bias due to the difference in the properties of both dyes, two technical replicates consisting of dye swap were realized. The complete experiment required six microarrays.
