Identification of high temperature and daylength responsive genes in barley

ABSTRACT: High temperature influences plant development and can reduce crop yields. We used the Agilent Barley Gene Expression Microarray to identify high temperature responsive genes in cereals. In temperate cereals, such as wheat and barley, high temperature results in rapid progression through reproductive development in long-days but inhibits early stages of reproductive development in short-days. We examined the transcriptome of barley plants grown at two different temperatures, 15M-BM-0C or 25M-BM-0C, in either long or short-days. Under these conditions early reproductive development was accelerated by high temperature in long-days but inhibited by high temperature in short-days. To control for the effect of temperature on vegetative growth, plants were sampled at the same stage of vegetative development (leaf emergence) in all treatments. Transcriptome analysis identified genes that show changed transcript levels in response to daylength (long versus short-days), genes that show changed transcript levels in response to temperature (15M-BM-0C versus 25M-BM-0C), and small groups of genes that show changed transcript levels only in response to specific combinations of daylength and temperature. For example, genes that are upregulated only under long-days and high temperature: conditions in which early reproductive development proceeds rapidly. The temperature responsive genes identified here offer potential candidates for developmental regulators controlling the developmental response of cereal crops to high temperatures. Gene expression was assayed in vernalized barley plants grown at 15M-BM-0C or 25M-BM-0C in short or long-days until leaf 4 was visible on the main stem. Three replicate samples, consisting of 3 plants per sample, were assayed for each treatment.

High temperature influences plant development and can reduce crop yields. We examined how ambient temperature influences reproductive development in the temperate cereals wheat (Triticum aestivum) and barley (Hordeum vulgare). High temperature resulted in rapid progression through reproductive development in long days, but inhibited early stages of reproductive development in short days. Activation of the long-day flowering response pathway through day-length-insensitive alleles of the PHOTOPERI ...[more]

Project description:We combined heritability analysis of larval development rate with a global expression analysis of this phenotype to investigate genotype by environment interactions across three ecologically relevant temperatures in the Glanville fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia). We focused upon the development of final instar caterpillars which is greatly affected by temperature, and during this stage the caterpillars build up most of the resources for adult life. Second generation, lab reared larvae, initially collected from the M-CM-^Eland metapopulation, were reared in standard lab condition until 6th larval instar. At the beginning of the final (7th) instar stage the larvae were separated into of three temperature conditions: Cold treatment (temperature profile: 8M-BM-0C 18:00-9:59, 14M-BM-0C 10:00-11:59, 20M-BM-0C 12:00-15:59 and 14M-BM-0C 16:00-17:59) Standard treatment (temperature profile: 15M-BM-0C 17:00-6:59, 18M-BM-0C 7:00-8:59, 22M-BM-0C 9:00-10:59 and 26M-BM-0C 11:00-16:59) Hot treatment (temperature profile: 8M-BM-0C 20:00-7:59, 15M-BM-0C 8:00-9:59, 35M-BM-0C 10:00-17:59 and 15M-BM-0C 18:00-19:59) The temperature profiles mimic the diurnal thermal variation of the natural habitat (M-CM-^Eland islands) of samples. Cold treatment mimics a cool and cloudy summer, Standard represents an average temperature profile in the M-CM-^Eland islands and Hot treatment mimics an exceptionally hot and sunny summer, with cold night-time temperatures. The experiment contained several larval families (full-sib) of which three were selected for gene expression analysis. Samples were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen during mid-development (after 6, 5 and 4 days, for Cold, Standard and Hot respectively). Additional larvae from the same treatments were assayed for survival and growth. Gene expression was analyzed using a mixed model approach to identify genes with potential heritable expression variation (variation among families), genes with plastic expression responses (treatment induced changes) and genes with treatment dependent expression that varies among families (family by treatment interactions). Full-sib larvae from three families (N170, N74 and O171) were exposed to three temperature treatments (Cold, Standard and Hot) during final (7th) instar stage. A total of 35 samples were used to analyze family, treatment and family by treatment interactions in gene expression, using a mixed model approach. This included 3 biological replicates in Cold and Hot treatments from each family and 5-6 biological replicates in Standard (5 in O171) per family. Techinal replicates from each family and additional techical replicates in family O171 (including dye swap replicates) were used to assess robustness of the findings.

Project description:A koji mold Aspergillus kawachii is used for making a Japanese distilled spirit, shochu. During making shochu, A. kawachii is grown in a solid-state culture comprised of steamed grains such as rice or barley, termed koji, to convert the starch to glucose and also to produce citric acid. During this process, cultivation temperature of A. kawachii is generally controlled by raising to 40M-BM-0C and then lowering to 30M-BM-0C. The cultivation at 40M-BM-0C and the following at lower temperature of 30M-BM-0C has important roles in the elevated activity of amylase and starting an accumulation of a large amount of citric acid, respectively. In this study, we investigated the effect of temperature on the gene expression of A. kawachii when barley was used as ingredient for making koji. The results of DNA microarray and gene ontology analysis showed that the expression of genes involved in the metabolic processes of glycerol, trehalose, and pentose phosphate that branch from glycolysis was down-regulated by shifting the cultivation temperature from 40M-BM-0C from 30M-BM-0C. In addition, reduction in the expression of the genes related with heat shock responses and increasing in the expression of the genes related with amino acid transport after the temperature lowering were found to be significant change. These results suggested that the cultivation at 40M-BM-0C is stressful event for the A. kawachii and the heat adaption lead to the depression of citric acid accumulation through activation of the branching pathways from glycolysis. The gene expression profile obtained in this study will help to understand the gene regulation during koji-making process to optimize A. kawachii as industrial microorganism. Gene expression of Aspergillus kawachii in barley koji was measured at 25, 26.5, and 44 hours at two different temperature control. Three independent experiments were performed at each time (25, 26.5, or 44 hours) using different barley koji for each expreriment.
