Transcriptional Profiling of C. briggsae Temperate and Tropical representative strains after extreme cold


ABSTRACT: Different populations of the same species survive different environments through local adaptation. Temperature is one of the most important driving forces that could result in local adaptation. Here, we studied the influence of extreme low temperature on the survival of two genetically and geographically distinct populations of the free-living Caenorhabditis briggsae. We found that Caenorhabditis briggsae strains of temperate origin had a cold resistant phenotype, while those originating from a tropical climate had reduced survival after cold treatment. Using this phenotypic difference between geographically diverse populations as a model for how species adapt to their local environment, we then analyzed the transcriptional profiles of two Caenorhabditis briggsae strains of tropical and temperate origin to find genes that are involved in survival after extreme cold. In summary, the response to the extreme low temperature that clearly distinguishes the temperate and tropical Caenorhabditis briggsae strains could serve as an excellent example for studying local adaption of species that show genetic separation associated with their geographical distribution.
