Study of acquired thermotolerance response in peanut using oligonucleotide microarrays

ABSTRACT: 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.

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 4 x 44k custom oligo microarrays containing 22k peanut EST sequences. The microarray analysis identified 710 stress-induced and 770 stress-repressed putative heat-responsive transcripts in the tolerant genotype. 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 amino acid metabolism, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Differentially expressed transcripts from samples obtained from first year’s experiment 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. Directly heat-stressed 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 4 x 44k microarray.

Project description:Southern California (USA) populations of the intertidal marine snail Chlorostoma (formerly Tegula) funebralis are generally exposed to higher air and water temperatures than northern California populations. Previous studies have shown that southern populations are more tolerant of heat stress than northern populations. To assess the potential role of gene regulation in these regional differences, we examined transcriptome responses to thermal stress in two southern and two northern populations of C. funebralis. Snails from the four populations were acclimated to a common lab environment, exposed to a heat stress representative of natural low tide conditions, and then analyzed using RNA-Seq to characterize changes in gene expression associated with stress and differences in expression across geographic regions. Changes in expression following stress were dominated by genes involved in apoptosis, the inflammatory response, response to mis and unfolded proteins, and ubiquitination of proteins. Heat shock proteins (Hsps) were up-regulated in both northern and southern populations. However, while the magnitude of the response was significantly greater in northern populations for the majority of Hsp70s, the southern populations showed a greater up-regulation for roughly half of the Hsp40s, which are co-chaperones for Hsp70s. Differential expression analysis of the control versus treatment genes in the northern and southern populations respectively revealed that 56 genes, many involved in the inflammation and immune response, responded to heat stress only in the northern populations. Moreover, several of the molecular chaperones and antioxidant genes that were not differentially expressed in the southern populations instead showed higher constitutive expression under control conditions compared to the northern populations. The expression levels of some of these constitutive genes such as superoxide dismutase were also found to positively correlate with survival following heat stress. This suggests that expression of these genes has evolved a degree of M-bM-^@M-^\frontloadingM-bM-^@M-^] that may contribute to the higher thermal tolerance of southern populations. mRNA profiles of northern and southern California heat-stressed and control C. funebralis were generated by 100bp paired end sequencing, in duplicate, using Illumina HiSeq2000.
