Chilling stress transcriptional regulatory networks of japonica rice


ABSTRACT: The central role of transcriptional regulation in integrating various low temperature response mechanisms has been established in Arabidopsis, where the CBF/DREB regulon plays a prominent role during acclimation. Rice is sensitive to chilling but many japonica cultivars can survive continuous exposure to as low as 10oC for up to 7 days during the most critical stage of seedling establishment better than most indica cultivars. The transcriptional regulatory networks that define this variation have not been studied in detail as cold acclimation has been scrutinized in Arabidopsis. Towards the comparison of the compositional complexity of low temperature response regulons of rice and Arabidopsis, we used the cultivar Nipponbare for genome-wide survey of regulatory clusters by integrative analysis of promoter architectures and temporal expression profiles during exposure to 10oC at narrow time intervals. Temporal profiles revealed major clusters of genes that were induced within the initial 24 hours. These clusters were further defined by common features of having either CRT/DRE-like elements, as1/ocs-like elements or both in their promoters. Genes containing as1/ocs-like elements with or without CRT/DRE, but not those containing only CRT/DRE-like elements were induced by exogenous H2O2 but not by ABA at ambient temperature, suggesting that they belong to a potential regulon (ROS-bZIP – as1/ocs module) that responds to elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the initial stages of stress. Parallel analysis of transcription factors during the initial 12 hours revealed candidate regulator(s) of this putative early response regulon. Cultivar-specific expression signatures of selected members of this regulatory cluster were also positively correlated with genotypic variation in chilling tolerance. We hypothesized that the ROS-bZIP – as1/ocs cluster has important roles in configuring the transcriptome of rice seedlings during the early stages of chilling stress and it appears to be independent of ABA and functions in parallel to the CBF/DREB regulon.
