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:Simulating predicted future climate conditions, stress response and stress-related memory after one week of recovery were transcriptionally characterised in young and old leaves, phloem-bark, developing xylem and roots of 3-month-old Grey poplar plants that had undergone three weeks of stress or were kept under control conditions. The control conditions include ambient or elevated CO2 levels (380 μL L-1 and 500 μL L-1, respectively) with a daily maximum temperature of 27 °C. The stress conditions include a periodic and a chronic drought-heat scenario at elevated CO2 levels (500 μL L-1) with a daily maximum temperature of 33 °C. The periodic stress treatment included three cycles of reduced irrigation (50%, 60% and 70% reduction compared with the controls), each one lasting for six days; between the cycles, there were recovery periods with a duration of two days and a daily maximum temperature of 27 °C. In the chronic stress treatment, irrigation was gradually reduced for 22 days, down to 70% reduction compared with the controls. Three biological replicates were examined per group defined by a specific environmental condition (droughtPER: periodic stress, droughtCHR: chronic stress, control500: elevated CO2 control, control380: ambient CO2 control), a specific harvesting time (S: stress phase, R: recovery phase) and a specific tissue (LE1: young leaves, LE2: old leaves, PHL: phloem-bark, XYL: developing xylem, ROO: roots). For stress phase ambient CO2 control in old leaves, one replicate failed quality control.

Project description:Effects of heat priming applied to the first generation on tolerance of the successive generation to post-anthesis high temperature stress were investigated. Compared with the progeny of non-heat primed plants (NH), the progeny of heat-primed plants (PH) presented higher grain yield, leaf photosynthesis and activities of antioxidant enzymes and lower cell membrane damage under high temperature stress. In the transcriptome profile, 1430 probes showed obvious difference in expression between PH and NH. These genes were those of signal transduction, transcription, energy, defense, and protein destination and storage, respectively. Pot experiments (25 cm in diameter and 22 cm in depth) were conducted at the Experimental Station of Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing, China (32Ë30ʹN and 118Ë42ʹE). During the first generation, wheat plants were divided into two groups: one group were not primed (N) while the other were heat-primed (P) at pre-anthesis (at a day/night temperature of 32/28ËC for two days at the seven-leaf stage and the nine-leaf stage) and post-anthesis (34/30ËC for seven days at the 10th day after anthesis). At maturity, seeds from both groups were harvested. Seedlings (the progeny generation) from each group seed were further divided two sub-groups: one was subjected to high temperature stress at a day/night temperature of 34/30ËC, while the other was set at 26/22ËC for six days from the 10th day after anthesis (DAA). During both priming and high-temperature stress, plants under different treatments were moved into sepatarate growth chambers at preset temperatures. Thereafter, four treatments were established: NC, progeny of non-primed plants without post-anthesis high temperature stress; NH, progeny of non-primed plants with post-anthesis high temperature stress; PC, progeny of primed plants without post-anthesis high temperature stress; and PH, progeny of primed plants with post-anthesis high temperature stress.

Project description:A role of chromatin in plant memory of environmental stress has been proposed. In this study ChIP-Seq was employed to investigate whether a transient mild salt treatment of Arabidopsis thaliana plant at seedling stage (M-^Qpriming treatmentM-^R: 50 mM NaCl for 24 hours) altered genome-wide profiles of four histone modifications; H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K9me2 and H3K27me3. Comparison of histone modification profiles between primed and non-primed plants harvested immediately after the priming treatment showed differences in all histone modifications but were strongest and most abundant for H3K27me3. We subsequently explored whether these changes were maintained over an extensive period of growth in control conditions. Additional ChIP-Seq analysis showed that differences in the H3K27me3 profiles between primed and non-primed plants were still apparent after a growth period of ten days in control conditions. The results provide first indication for a potential role of H3K27me3 in long-term somatic memory of abiotic stress events in plants. The obtained dataset was compared with RNA-seq data measured in the same plant material (see parallel submission of RNA-Seq data in ArrayExpress: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-1668).

Project description:This project investigates the changes in proteome profiles that occurred in the same set of S. mutans wild-type and lrgAB mutant samples used in our recently published RNA-seq study. To this end, mass spectrometry-based label-free quantitative proteomics, a technology known to enable comprehensive identification and quantification of complete bacterial proteomes, was adapted to study changes in S. mutans intracellular protein levels in response to aeration, heat, and vancomycin stress. Furthermore, the degree of correlation between S. mutans protein abundance profiles and gene expression changes was determined. Further understanding of these combined “-omics” data at the cellular or molecular level will enhance our knowledge of Cid/Lrg-mediated cellular responses of S. mutans to adverse environments. Furthermore, these “-omics” data will serve as a valuable resource that can be mined to help clarify the role of the S. mutans stress response and physiological activity to its dynamic survival in the oral cavity.

Project description:Purpose: Water stress limits plant survival and production in many parts of the world. Identification of genes and alleles responding to water stress conditions is important in breeding plants better adapted to drought. Currently there are no studies examining the transcriptome wide gene and allelic expression patterns under water stress conditions. We used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to identify the candidate genes and alleles and to explore the evolutionary signatures of selection Methods: We studied the effect of water stress on gene expression in Eucalyptus camaldulensis seedlings derived from three natural populations. We used reference-guided transcriptome mapping to study gene expression. Reads mapping to predicted transcripts were analysed with edgeR pacakge to study differntial expression of genes under control and water-stress conditions. SNPs within the genes were obtained using pileup file generated with samtools and the SNP frequencies were analysed with VarScan package. SNPs were further characterised as sysnonymous and non-synonymous using popoolation2 pacakge. Results: Several genes showed differential expression between control and stress conditions. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment tests revealed up-regulation of 140 stress-related gene categories and down-regulation of 35 metabolic and cell wall organisation gene categories. More than 190,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected and 2737 of these showed differential allelic expression. Allelic expression of 52% of these variants was correlated with total gene expression. Signatures of selection patterns were studied by estimating the proportion of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitution rates (Ka/Ks). The average Ka/Ks ratio among the 13,719 genes was 0.39 indicating that most of the genes are under purifying selection. Among the positively selected genes (Ka/Ks > 1.5) apoptosis and cell death categories were enriched. Of the positively selected genes, ninety genes showed differential expression and 27 SNPs from 17 positively selected genes showed differential allelic expression between treatments. Conclusions: Correlation of allelic expression of several SNPs with total gene expression indicates that these variants may be the cis-acting variants or in linkage disequilibrium with such variants. Enrichment of apoptosis and cell death gene categories among the positively selected genes reveals the past selection pressures experienced by the populations used in this study. Leaf mRNA of 12 samples were used to study the gene expression under control and water-stress conditions. Three samples under water-stress conditions and three samples under control conditions were used as biological replicates for differenctial gene expression between the treatments. High-throughput sequence reads from mRNA samples were generated by deep sequencing with Illumina GAIIx.

Project description:To gain insights into molecular mechanisms of tolerance to heat stress, we conducted a transcript profiling experiment to identify heat-responsive genes in contrasting peanut mini core accessions, either un-acclimated or acclimated to heat stress. Plants at reproductive stage were exposed to 28 °C (control), 45 °C for 15 d (un-acclimated) or 45 °C for 1 d followed by 7 d recovery and 15 d stress (acclimated). Two contrasting genotypes showing diverse response to stress were selected based on a bioassay involving chlorophyll fluorescence yield under elevated respiratory demand and membrane thermostability. Transcript profiling was performed using 8 x 15k custom oligo microarrays containing 15k peanut EST sequences. Gene enrichment analysis was performed using Blast2GO program and genes with homology to known proteins were categorized into detailed molecular functional groups. Majority of stress-responsive genes assigned to KEGG pathways belonged to starch, sucrose and galactose metabolism followed by aminoacid metabolism, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Differentially expressed transcripts from samples were validated in the samples from second year by quantitative real-time PCR. Transcripts of eight genes involved in terpenoid and flavanoid biosynthesis were induced after second and seventh day, respectively in leaves under heat stress. Metabolite analysis confirmed increases in metabolites of selected pathways under heat stress. The heat up-regulated genes in tolerant COC041 mini-core accession are potential candidate genes for engineering stress-tolerant peanuts and unraveling molecular mechanisms of peanut adaptation to heat stress. We used Agilent peanut microarrays to identify putative heat stress-responsive genes. Acclimated leaf tissues of the peanut genotypes COC041 (tolerant) and COC166 (susceptible) were used in the study. Three replications of microarray experiments were carried out by hybridizing the cRNA from different time points and stress conditions in a loop design on 8 x 15k microarray.

Project description:In the present study, we found that Nipponbare and IAC1131 behave equivalently in response to multiple abiotic stress, which included simultaneous application of drought, salt and temperature stress. At the level of molecular analysis by isotopic labelling quantitative proteomics, 6215 proteins were reproducibly identified and quantified across the two genotypes and three time points sampled. Heat shock proteins, late embryogenesis abundant proteins, and photosynthesis-related proteins were all found to be differentially abundant in response to stress treatments in both Nipponbare and IAC1131.
