Project description:In order to identify genes and pathways involved in drought tolerance, RNA was isolated from control and 15-days drought-stressed chickpea plants. Two chickpea genotypes, Desi PI598080 (“D”) and Kabuli Flip07 318C (“K”), respectively sensitive and tolerant to drought stresses were used. The 12 extracted RNAs (2 genotypes x 2 water regimes x 3 biological replicates) were sequenced, and the transcriptomic changes between the genotypes and water conditions were analysed. The genotype with higher drought sensitivity showed a generally higher change of gene transcripts than the genotype with less sensitivity, upregulating genes involved in photophosphorylation process (transferases, oxygen lyases and oxidoreductases), hormones (brassinosteroids, abscissic acid and gibberellin response), solute transporters, nutrient uptake and cell wall properties (cellulose synthases, hemicellulose synthases, poligalacturonases, pectate lyases). These results will be helpful for further studies aiming at identifying genes and molecular markers to develop chickpea cultivars resilient to water stress.

Project description:The primary objective of this study is to investigate the molecular differences between chickpea varieties with early and late flowering, focusing on gene expression in response to heat stress. Through the analysis of differentially expressed genes under high-temperature conditions, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying early flowering in chickpea. This approach will not only help bridge the current gaps in our scientific knowledge but may also provide valuable insights for the development of targeted genetic improvement strategies to enhance the thermal resilience of chickpea crops.

Project description:Stress priming is a critical adaptive mechanism that enables plants to enhance responses to recurring environmental stresses. While transcriptomic changes associated with cold stress priming have been reported, the underlying epigenetic mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we investigated transcriptomic and DNA methylation dynamics in cold-primed and non-primed Arabidopsis thaliana plants. Cold stress induces distinct gene expression patterns between primed and non-primed plants, accompanied by DNA methylation changes across all cytosine contexts in both protein-coding genes and transposable elements (TEs). Notably, CHH methylation within gene bodies and TEs is markedly reduced in cold-primed plants, suggesting a role for DNA hypomethylation in establishing cold stress memory. This hypomethylation correlates with decreased expression of the CMT2 DNA methyltransferase and components of the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway, indicating a passive demethylation process during cold treatment. Furthermore, DNA methylation mutants exhibit enhanced cold stress memory, highlighting the role of methylation in preventing spurious gene activation and maintaining priming specificity. Particularly, met1, deficient in CG methylation, shows reduced methylation at the CBF gene cluster, correlating with their overexpression and enhanced activation of downstream cold-responsive genes. Our findings show that DNA methylation modulates cold stress memory by shaping chromatin and ensuring transcriptional precision.

Project description:Priming is a mechanism used by plants to rapidly respond to external stimuli, becoming essential for their survival and resistance to unfavorable conditions. The physiological state acquired by a plant after the exposure to repeated stress is the result of molecular mechanisms determining plant’s memory of past stress events. Mimosa pudica is a plant known for its ability to respond to physical disturbance by folding its leaves. The movement is determined by a strong Ca2+ influx, which acts as both osmotic pressure regulator and secondary messenger for gene expression. Considering the need to intervene in a sustainable way to counteract the ever-increasing biotic and abiotic stresses caused by climate change, it would be particularly interesting to deepen our knowledge on stress tolerance development in primed plants. From this perspective, M. pudica can be a valuable model for studying the molecular mechanisms related to adaptive memory acquisition after repeated stress events. In this study, the gene regulatory networks underlying M. pudica leaf closure following single and multiple mechanical disturbances (droppings) were investigated.

Project description:Chromium (Cr) is a highly toxic heavy metal for both mono and dicot plants, causing severe cellular damage and disturbances in plant growth, development, and reproduction. Its phytotoxicity results in serious changes in plant physiology, gene expression, and at a transgenerational level in genomic DNA methylation. Herein, transcriptional responses of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) to continuous and basal Cr stress were explored in roots and leaves by RNAseq analysis. Plants cultivated in a hydroponic system supplemented with 2.5 and 10 µM Cr were compared with control plants through transcriptomic analysis after 50 days and for the biomass accumulation and seed yield after senescence.

Project description:Winter turnip rape (Brassica rapa L.) is a valuable ecologically beneficial oil crop that is produced mainly for its ability of conserving soil and water in winter and spring and its high quality edible oil in northwestern China. However, coldness and extremely low temperature negatively affects the growth and development of winter turnip rape, resulting in failure to overwinter and production in northwestern China. ‘Longyou 7’(Brassica rapa L.) and ‘Tianyou 4’ (Brassica rapa L.) are closely related plant species, but their cold tolerances are different. ‘Longyou 7’ is a cold-tolerant cultivar, ‘Tianyou 4’is a cold-sensitive cultivar. In this study, we used iTRAQ-based proteomics to compare quantitative changes in the proteome of two winter turnip rape leaves and roots in response to cold stress to elucidate the possible molecular mechanism underlying the ability of ‘Longyou 7’ to adapt to cold stress.

Project description:Small noncoding RNA (sncRNA), including microRNAs (miRNAs) and endogenous small-interfering RNAs (endo-siRNAs) are key gene regulators in eukaryotes, playing critical roles in plant development and stress tolerance. Trans-acting siRNAs (ta-siRNAs), which are secondary siRNAs triggered by miRNAs, and siRNAs from natural antisense transcripts (nat-siRNAs) are two well-studied classes of endo-siRNAs. In order to understand sncRNAsM-bM-^@M-^Y roles in plant cold response and stress acclimation, we studied miRNAs and endo-siRNAs in Cassava (Manihot esculenta), a major source of food for the world populations in tropical regions. Combining Next-Generation sequencing and computational and experimental analyses, we profiled and characterized sncRNA species and mRNA genes from the plants that experienced severe and moderate cold stresses, that underwent further severe cold stress after cold acclimation at moderate stress, and that grew under the normal condition. We also included Castor bean (Ricinus communis) to understand conservation of sncRNAs. In addition to known miRNAs, we identified dozens of novel miRNAs as well as ta-siRNA-yielding and nat-siRNA-yielding loci in Cassava and Castor bean, respectively. Among the expressed sncRNAs, many sncRNAs were differentially expressed under cold stresses. Our study provided the results on gene regulation by sncRNAs in cold acclimation of Euphorbiaceous plants and the role of sncRNA-mediated pathways affected by cold stress and stress acclimation in Cassava. Examination of small RNA populations in Cassava cultivar SC124 under the normal condition (NC), gradual cold acclimation (CA), cold shock (CS) and stress acclimation Cold stress after cold acclimation (CCA).

Project description:The male sterility of thermosensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) lines of wheat (Triticum aestivum) is strictly controlled by temperature. The early phase of anther development is especially susceptible to cold stress. MicroRNAs (miRNA) play an important role in plant development and in responses to environmental stress. In this study, deep sequencing of small RNA (smRNA) libraries obtained from spike tissues of the TGMS line under cold and control conditions identified a total of 81 unique miRNA sequences from 30 families, and trans-acting small interfering RNAs (tasiRNAs) derived from two TAS3 genes. We identified 26 targets of 16 miRNA families and three targets of tasiRNAs. Comparing smRNA sequencing datasets and TaqMan qPCR results, we identified six miRNAs and one tasiRNA (tasiRNA-ARF) as cold stress-responsive smRNAs in spike tissues of the TGMS line. We also determined the expression profiles of target genes that encode transcription factors in response to cold stress. Interestingly, expressions of cold-stress responsive smRNAs integrated in the auxin-signaling pathway and their target genes were largely anticorrelated. We investigated tissue-specific expression of smRNAs using a tissue microarray approach. Our data indicated that miR167 and tasiRNA-ARF play roles in regulating the auxin-signaling pathway, and possibly in the developmental response to cold stress. These data provide evidence that smRNA regulatory pathways are linked with male sterility in the TGMS line during cold stress.
