Recurrent cycles of drought stress led to low transcriptional reprogramming and greater accumulation of epigenetic marks in apple trees

ABSTRACT: The differences observed in plant physiology, gene expression, and DNA methylation between two Drought Stress conditions suggest the involvement of a priming mechanism in apple seedlings. Priming, the ability of plants to "remember" environmental stress, can enhance their response to recurrent stress events (Harris et al. 2023). Our data support the idea that an initially naïve plant can be primed after a single drought episode, modifying its response thresholds and regulatory networks, as proposed by Lämke and Bäurle (2017). The progressive reduction in DEGs, dynamic changes in DMRs, and enhanced physiological responses all point toward priming as a key component of drought adaptation in seedlings.

The spatial differences of root apex contribute to improved drought tolerance as induced by drought priming in wheat

Project description:Drought priming is a promising approach to improve drought tolerance, and root apex plays important role in coping with drought adversities in plants. It has been observed that less inhibition of root growth under drought stress was found in paralleling with the enhanced drought tolerance induced by drought priming in wheat. However, the contribution and mechanisms of root apex to the improved tolerance induced by drought priming remains unknown. Here, the transcriptome and proteome of three different zones along the root axis under drought stress were investigated. The two zones distal from the root apex showed more sensitive to drought priming and the later drought stress than the zone proximal to the root apex, as exemplified by the principal component analysis of the different expressed genes (DEGs) among treatments. The DEGs which decreased by drought stress, while higher expressed in primed plants than non-primed plants, might play critical roles in enhanced root growth in primed plants. These genes were mainly involved in the pathways related to cell membrane sensing, plant hormone signaling, stress defense and cell more modification. Moreover, the plant hormone pathway showed positive correlated between transcriptome and proteome analysis, and genes network analysis hinted that ABA receptor and aquaporin could be potential markers in regulation of priming induced root growth and drought stress tolerance.

Recurrent drought stress triggers transcriptional reprogramming and epigenetic modifications in apple seedlings

Project description:Developing multiple stress-tolerant crops is the goal of many breeders in the current context of seasonal variability precipitated by the ongoing climate change. Among the most pressing stress, drought is becoming a major concern in many regions of the world. Plant responses to drought has been studied in many species, including perennial plants such as apple (Malus domestica); however, the effects of recurrent stress and the potential for stress memory, or priming, remain poorly described. Priming reflects the capacity of plants to “memorize” environmental stress experiences and potentially improve their responses to recurring stress. Such information may be retained through epigenetic modifications of DNA and associated histone proteins. This ability could enable training of plants to face future challenges. In this study, we explored the effects of recurrent drought stress on apple seedling morphology and investigated the transcriptomic and epigenetic changes in plants subjected to this treatment. Our results indicate that naïve apple seedlings can be primed upon first exposure to drought stress, and that primed plants respond differently to recurrent stress later in the season. Analyses of differentially expressed genes and differentially methylated regions further indicate that primed plants’ molecular responses differ significantly from plants exposed to drought stress for the first time. Finally, our results suggest that following a winter period, the previously induced priming effect may be partially lost. Overall, our study demonstrates the importance of studying recurrent stress to better understand the memory-associated mechanisms leading to morphological and gene expression alterations in perennial plants.

Regulation of carbon reserve use in olive trees under heat, drought, and recovery

Project description:Purpose: Nonstructural carbohydrates has a major impact on trees response to meteorological conditions. The goals of this study were to define which changes in gene expression are linked to possible mechanisms used by the plant to buffer the decline in carbon source during gradual soil drying, an intensive abrupt heat wave, and recovery from drought? Methods: We combined measurements of nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC), tree physiology and expression of genes encoding starch metabolism enzymes. The experiment was conducted on potted olive (Olea europaea) trees, half of them under 28 days of soil drought. Results: We identified the gene family members relevant either to long-term or stress-induced carbon storage. Partitioning of expression patterns among β amylase’s and starch synthase’s family members were identified, with some members upregulated throughout drought while other members in recovery. The daily starch metabolism machinery was different from the stress-mode starch metabolism machinery when some genes are unique to the stress-mode response.

Expression data from ABA up-regulated rice under drought stress

Project description:To understand the molecular mechanism of drought stress resistance mediated by OsABA8ox3 gene, we checked the genome-wide expression profile changes in the OsABA8ox3 RNAi and WT seedlings using the Affymetrix GeneChip under the normal condition and drought stress. A total of 1436 genes showed greater than 2-fold higher expression levels in both WT and RNAi-9 seedlings after drought stress, and most of them had higher up-regulated folds in RNAi-9 seedlings than that of WT.

A large-scale circular RNA profiling reveals universal molecular mechanisms responsive to drought stress in maize and Arabidopsis

Project description:Drought is a major abiotic stress that threatens global food security. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are endogenous RNAs. How these molecules influence plant stress responses remains elusive. Here, a large scale circRNA profiling identified 2174 and 1354 high-confidence circRNAs in maize and Arabidopsis, respectively, and most were differentially expressed in response to drought. A substantial number of drought-associated circRNA hosting genes were involved in conserved or species-specific pathways in drought responses. Comparative analysis revealed that circRNA biogenesis was more complex in maize than in Arabidopsis. In most cases, maize circRNAs were negatively correlated with sRNA accumulation. In 368 maize inbred lines, the circRNA-hosting genes were enriched for SNPs associated with circRNA expression and drought tolerance, implying either important roles of circRNAs in maize drought responses or their potential use as biomarkers for breeding drought-tolerant maize. Additionally, the expression levels of circRNAs derived from drought-responsible genes encoding calcium-dependent protein kinase and cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase were significantly associated with drought tolerance of maize seedlings. Specifically, Arabidopsis plants overexpressing circGORK (Guard cell outward-rectifying K+-channel) were hypersensitive to ABA, but insensitive to drought, suggesting a positive role of circGORK in drought tolerance. We report the transcriptomic profiling and transgenic studies of circRNAs in plant drought responses, and provide evidences highlighting the universal molecular mechanisms involved in plant drought tolerance.

Responses of grapevine cells to physiological doses of ethanol, among which induced resistance to heat stress

Project description:Grapevine is a plant of agronomic interest, which is able to cope with several stresses: heat, drought, and hypoxia, among others. A recent study showed very low oxygen levels inside grape berries, linked to ethanol content. Other studies have established the link between ethanol and tolerance to various stresses: heat stress, drought, and high salinity. The causes of such tolerance induced by ethanol are not well understood. In our study, three-week-old Gamay calli were characterised for their endogenous O2 levels (78 ± 43 µM at 2.1 mm inside the callus) and endogenous ethanol concentration (406 ± 2 µM). Subsequently, a transcriptomic study of these cells was conducted, at 6 and 24 hours post-treatment with 1 mM ethanol. After 6 hours post-treatment, ethanol addition led to 386 Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) compared to the controls. Analyses of the gene classes modulated by ethanol showed that many genes involved in heat response were up-regulated, notably the small Heat Shock Proteins (sHSP). Next, we showed that grape cells primed with ethanol experienced less pigment leakage due to heat stress compared to the controls. This result was further supported by a similar observation in Arabidopsis seedlings, for which heat stress-induced electrolyte leakage was reduced by ethanol priming. his study confirms previous observations regarding the beneficial role of ethanol priming in protecting plants against heat stress and provides a comprehensive set of RNA-seq data to further decipher the mechanisms involved in such adaptation. The small heat shock proteins seem involved in this chemical priming response.

Gene expression profiling of acute drought response in leaf and root of rice

Project description:In this research, an array of 27,448 rice genes was used to elucidate gene expression in air-dried rice seedlings (lead and root) at various periods of treatment times. The analyses show that rice responds to drought stress mainly by down-regulating many biological processes including gene expression and regulation, protein phosphorylation, and cellular metabolism. Among strategies to actively adapt to drought, most significant are inducing protective molecules, which may be differentially regulated based on plant organs.

Dehydrins identification and analysis in conifers

Project description:Dehydrins (DHNs) are plant-specific proteins that accumulate during the abiotic stress that cause cellular dehydration, such as drought, salinity and freezing. How the dehydrin system in conifers reacts to more short-term drought stress is much less studied. Therefore, we studied the dynamics of dehydrin system in seedlings of Scots pine and Norway spruce both on mRNA and on protein levels under conditions of polyethylene glycole 6000 (PEG)-induced water deficit of different intensities.
