Heat stress memory differentially regulates the expression of nitrogen transporter genes in the filamentous red alga 'Bangia' sp. ESS1.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To withstand high temperatures that would be lethal to a plant in the naïve state, land plants must establish heat stress memory. The acquisition of heat stress tolerance via heat stress memory in algae has only been observed in the red alga 'Bangia' sp. ESS1.

Methods

In this study, we further evaluated the intrinsic ability of this alga to establish heat stress memory by monitoring hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) production and examining the relationship between heat stress memory and the expression of genes encoding nitrogen transporters, since heat stress generally reduces nitrogen absorption. Next, genes encoding nitrogen transporters were selected from our unpublished transcriptome data of 'Bangia' sp. ESS1.
