Expression data from Wild type (WT) and AtCBF1 OX potato plants exposed to different abiotic stresses
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Potato plants are sensitive to multiple abiotic stresses such as drought, low temperature and high light. We analyzed the transcriptome of WT potato plants as well as that of transgenic potato plants expressing the Arabidopsis stress related transcription factor CBF1 that confers tolerance to multiple stresses. Wild type and AtCBF1OX transgenic potato plants were exposed to low temperature, high light, drought or kept under control conditions as described below in detail, and transcriptional changes induced by the different stresses were analyzed.
Project description:For many potato cultivars, tuber yield is optimal at average day time temperatures in the range of 14-22 ⁰C. Further rises in ambient temperature can reduce or completely inhibit potato tuber production, with damaging consequences for both producer and consumer. In our previous work we observed that the steady-state expression level of the core circadian clock gene, TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION 1 (TOC1), in potato tubers increased at moderately elevated temperature, whereas expression of the tuberisation signal gene StSP6A decreased along with tuber yield. In this study we investigated the potential roles of StTOC1 in linking environmental signalling and potato tuberisation. We show that transgenic lines with decreased expression of StTOC1 exhibit enhanced StSP6A transcript levels in tuberising stolons, and show changes in gene expression consistent with elevated tuber sink strength.
Project description:Experimental research on the effects of abiotic stress over grapevine has mainly focused on water shortage. The adaptation of plants to stress is a complex response triggered by cascades of molecular networks involved in stress perception, signal transduction, and the expression of specific stress-related genes and metabolites. Approaches such as array-based transcript profiling allow assessing the expression of thousands of genes in control and stress tissues. The variety Aragonês, used in wine production, was subjected to controlled individual abiotic stresses, WS and HS. Physiological effects were confirmed by measuring photosynthesis light curves at ambient CO2 and stepwise increasing irradiances. To assess physiological effects of stress treatments, light responses (A/I) curves were measured on the third fully expanded leaf from four plants per treatment and in the control, immediately after heat stress, and when Ψw was -0.9 MPa in water stress.
Project description:ATH1 GeneChip was used for gene expression analysis of wild-type plants and dor mutant under drought treatment (both the wild-type and dor plants were grown under normal watering conditions for 24 days and then stressed by completely depriving of irrigation for 10 days). Two biological repeat experiments were conducted and the raw data was analyzed applying Affymetrix GCOS software. Experiment Overall Design: ATH1 GeneChip was used for gene expression analysis of wild-type plants and dor mutant under drought treatment (both the wild-type and dor plants were grown under normal watering conditions for 24 days and then stressed by completely depriving of irrigation for 10 days).
Project description:Systems responses of mature leaves from 4 reference cultivars of a larger collection of European potato cultivars (Solanum tuberosum L.) are investigated by metabolome profiling and RNA-Sequencing. The chosen reference cultivars, Milva, Alegria, Desiree, and Saturna, vary in ascending order in regard to drought tolerance. Systems analyses are based on 3 independent field trials and 3 paralleled greenhouse trials. Robust responses across all cultivars and conditions to natural seasonal drought stress comprise proline, raffinose, galactinol, arabitol, arabinonic acid, chlorogenic acid, and 102 transcripts which consist to a high proportion of heat shock proteins and genes with signaling or regulatory functions, such as a homolog of abscisic acid receptor PYL4. Constitutive differences of the tolerant cultivars, Desiree and Saturna, compared to the sensitive cultivars include arbutin (hydroquinone-beta-D-glucopyranoside), octopamine (p-hydroxyphenylethanolamine), ribitol and 248 differential transcripts. Many of these transcripts are disease related, receptor kinases, or regulatory genes, for example a homolog of the Arabidopsis FOUR LIPS MYB-regulator of stomatal cell proliferation. Functional enrichment analyses imply that heat stress is a major acclimation component of potato leaves to agronomical relevant drought stress. Enhanced leaf heat stress is a result of drought caused by loss of transpiration cooling. This effect and CO2-limitation are the main dilemmas of drought- or ABA-induced stomatal closure. Constitutive differences between tolerant and sensitive cultivars indicate partially synergistic interactions of drought and biotic stress responses. We suggest that drought tolerance of the potato reference cultivars may be caused by general resistance mechanisms which are part of previously selected pathogen tolerance.

Project description:In many potato cultivation regions, production is constrained by abiotic stresses such as drought and high temperatures which are often present in combination. We aimed to identify key mechanisms and processes underlying single and combined abiotic stress tolerance by a comparative analysis of tolerant and susceptible cultivars. Physiological data supported cultivars Desiree and Unica as being abiotic stress tolerant, while Agria and Russett Burbank were stress susceptible. This was indicated by the stronger impact of abiotic stress on photosynthetic carbon assimilation in the susceptible cultivars. Similarly, susceptible cultivars exhibited a lower leaf transpiration rate following stress, particularly combined heat and drought stress. Transcript profiles using microarrays were highly divergent both between genotypes and following the application of stress treatments. However, relatively few transcripts or metabolites exhibited genotype specific responses to abiotic stress treatment. Furthermore, apart from a decrease in the abundance of transcripts associated with PSII, particularly the light harvesting complex in both Desiree and Unica, there were very few changes that were consistent across stress susceptible or stress tolerant genotypes following stress treatment.
Project description:Progeny from a cross of Arabidopsis thaliana Landsberg (Ler, Poland) and Kashmir-2 (Kas-2, central Asia) accessions exhibit immune-related hybrid incompatibility (HI) due to a genetic interaction between a cluster of eight TNL (Toll/Interleukin1 Receptor- Nucleotide Binding - Leucine Rich Repeat) RPP1-like (Recognition of Peronospora parasitica 1-like) genes (R1- R8) from Ler and central Asian alleles of a Strubbelig-family receptor-like kinase (SRF3). In characterizing mutants altered in Ler/Kas-2 HI, we mapped multiple intragenic mutations to the RPP1-like Ler locus. The expression of sulki1 (suppressor of Ler/Kas-2 incompatibility 1) mutant mapping to RPP1-like R8 Ler, the parental line Kas-2 accession and the Ler/Kas-2 NIL have been determined by RNA-seq in 5-week old plants grown at 14 - 16 ºC.
Project description:We have used a microarray approach to study the effects of the Potato Virus X Potexvirus (PVX)-specific P25 VRS protein on the transcript profile of tobacco plants, when expressed as a transgene in these plants.
Project description:Microarray analysis on Brachypodium distachyon seedlings was performed to determine the response of the transcriptome to changes in ambient temperature, including identification of marker genes that were up-regulated or down-regulated by a moderate increase in growth temperature. Wild-type Brachypodium (Bd21) seedlings were grown on MSR63 media without sucrose (Alves et al. 2009 Nature Protocols vol. 4 pp 638-649) in a short-day photoperiod (14 hr light/ 10 hr dark) at 17 ºC. As the third leaf was emerging, plants were transferred to 12 ºC for 48 hrs. Plants were then maintained at 12 ºC or transferred to one of two temperature treatments: constant 22 ºC or constant 27 ºC. Samples were collected before the shift (0 hr) and at 2 hr and 24 hr after the shift and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. For each harvest, two to three replicates were collected that each contained 3 seedlings.
Project description:Global expression analysis of transcripts in response to salt treatment was carried out for common wheat using oligo-DNA microarrays. Microarrays have been designed from unique wheat genes classified from a large number of expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Two-week-old seedlings of common wheat were treated with 150 mM NaCl for 1, 6 and 24 hours and their roots and shoots were separately subjected to microarray analyses. Consequently, 5996 genes showed changes in expression of more than two-fold, and were classified into 12 groups according to correlations in gene expression patterns. These salt-responsive genes were assigned functions using Gene Ontology (GO) terms. Genes assigned to transcription factor, transcription-regulator activity and DNA binding functions were preferentially classified into early response groups. On the other hand, those assigned transferase and transporter activity were classified into late response groups. These data on gene expression suggest that multiple signal transduction pathways in response to salt treatment exist in wheat. Salt-responsive transcription factors (TFs), namely AP2/EREBP, MYB, NAC and WRKY, were selected and their expression patterns compared with those of rice. Most showed different expression patterns in wheat and rice in response to salt treatment. Furthermore, comparing the microarray data for wheat and rice, only a small number of genes were up- or down-regulated in common in response to salt treatment. These findings suggest that salt-responsive mechanisms distinct from rice might be present in wheat, and wheat genes can contribute to providing novel gene resources for breeding of salt-tolerant crops. Microarray hybridization was performed by a competitive two-color method including color-swap experiments. Chinese Spring wheat was grown for two weeks and treated with 150mM NaCl for 0, 1, 6 and 24 hours. RNA samples were extracted from roots and shoots.
Project description:Analysis of transcripts in response to salt treatment. In order to design the 22k wheat oligo-DNA microarray, a total of 148,676 expressed sequence tags of common wheat were collected from the database of the Wheat Genomics Consortium of Japan. These were grouped into 34,064 contigs, which were then used to design an oligonucleotide DNA microarray. Following a multi-step selection of the sense strand, 21,939 60-mer oligo DNA probes were selected for attachment on the microarray slide. This 22k oligo DNA microarray was used to examine the transcriptional response of wheat to salt stress. More than 95% of the probes gave reproducible hybridization signals when targeted with RNAs extracted from salt-treated wheat shoots and roots. With the microarray, we identified 1,811 genes whose expressions changed more than two-fold in response to salt. These included genes known to mediate the response to salt as well as unknown genes, and they were classified into 12 major groups by hierarchical clustering. These gene expression patterns were also confirmed by real-time reverse transcription (RT)-PCR. Many of the genes with unknown function were clustered together with genes known to be involved in the response to salt stress. Thus, analysis of gene expression patterns combined with gene ontology should help identify the function of the unknown genes. Also, functional analysis of these wheat genes should provide new insight into the response to salt stress. Finally, these results indicate that the 22k oligo DNA microarray is a reliable method for monitoring global gene expression patterns in wheat. Microarray hybridization was performed by a competitive two-color method including color-swap experiments. Chinese Spring wheat was grown for two weeks and treated with 150mM NaCl for 0, 1, 6 and 24 hours. RNA samples were extracted from roots and shoots.Each experiment was design for comparison in control and treated sample.
