Protocols for measuring cold-evoked neural activity and cold tolerance in Drosophila larvae following fictive cold acclimation.

ABSTRACT: Here, we outline protocols to study cold acclimation in Drosophila from a neurobiological perspective, starting with fictive cold acclimation using a custom-built optogenetics-housing apparatus we call the OptoBox. We also provide detailed steps for single-unit electrophysiological recordings from larval cold nociceptors and a high-throughput cold-tolerance assay. These protocols expand the toolkit for the study of insect cold acclimation and nociception. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Himmel et al. (2021).

Molecular regulation mechanism of cold acclimation and cold tolerance in tea leaves

Project description:Recently, intensive global climate change has become a major factor impacting plant survival during the winter. Freezing cold temperatures during the winter and abnormal temperature fluctuations during the winter and early spring are the most harmful ambient factors threatening tea plant winter survival and currently cause marked economic losses in tea production. In this study, by simulating natural climate change, we established cold acclimation (CA) and rapid cold stress (after CA) conditions to comprehensively investigate the transcriptome changes involved in CA and rapid cold stress. Electrolyte leakage (EL) rate and expression profile clustering analyses confirmed that the experimental design was valid. Comparative transcription analysis identified many differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in both processes. Time course and pathway enrichment analyses further revealed the physiological changes that occur during the initial period of CA and the cell wall changes that occur throughout the entire CA process; these changes play crucial roles in increasing freezing tolerance during this process. Compared with CA, different cold response mechanisms were rapidly activated under cold stress; however, the subsequent accumulation of reactive oxygen species, which affect multiple aspects, caused by freezing cold could be the harshest factor impairing tea leaves. Moreover, we investigated 60 DEGs shared by both processes and highlighted the importance of KCSs, HXXXD-type acyl-transferase family proteins, NAC080, SWEETs and ENOs in the responses to various cold conditions. These results greatly improve our knowledge of cold response mechanisms in tea plants and provide meaningful information for functional studies investigating cold tolerance-related genes.
