Increasing global warming is severely affecting tree growth and development. However, research on the sex-specific responses of dioecious trees to warming is scarce. Here, male and female Salix paraplesia were selected for artificial warming (an increase of 4 °C relative to ambient temperature) to investigate the effects on morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular responses. The results showed that warming significantly promoted the growth of female and male S. paraplesia, but fem ...[more]

Project description:A changing climate is altering many ocean properties that consequently will modify marine productivity. Previous phytoplankton manipulation studies have focused on individual or subsets of these properties. Here, we investigate the cumulative effects of multi-faceted change on a subantarctic diatom Pseudonitzschia multiseries by concurrently manipulating five stressors (light/nutrients/CO2/temperature/iron) that primarily control its physiology, and explore underlying reasons for altered physiological performance. Climate change enhances diatom growth mainly owing to warming and iron enrichment, and both properties decrease cellular nutrient quotas, partially offsetting any effects of decreased nutrient supply by 2100. Physiological diagnostics and comparative proteomics demonstrate the joint importance of individual and interactive effects of temperature and iron, and reveal biased future predictions from experimental outcomes when only a subset of multi-stressors is considered. Our findings for subantarctic waters illustrate how composite regional studies are needed to provide accurate global projections of future shifts in productivity and distinguish underlying species-specific physiological mechanisms.

Project description:Genome-wide transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis thaliana to a combination of heatwave and drought under ambient and elevated CO2. Goal of this study was elucidate the transcriptional responses to a combination of heat wave and drought, and to see how these responses are modifed under future climate (high) CO2. Climate changes increasingly threaten plant growth and productivity. Such changes are complex and involve multiple environmental factors, including rising CO2 levels and climate extreme events. As the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying plant responses to realistic future climate extreme conditions are still poorly understood, a multiple organizational level-analysis (i.e. eco-physiological, biochemical and transcriptional) was performed, using Arabidopsis exposed to incremental heat wave and water deficit under elevated CO2.The climate extreme resulted in biomass reduction, photosynthesis inhibition, and considerable increases in stress parameters. Photosynthesis was a major target as demonstrated at the physiological and transcriptional levels. In contrast, the climate extreme treatment induced a protective effect on oxidative membrane damage, most likely as a result of strongly increased lipophilic antioxidants and membrane-protecting enzymes. Elevated CO2 significantly mitigated the negative impact of a combined heat and drought, as apparent in biomass reduction, photosynthesis inhibition, chlorophyll fluorescence decline, H2O2 production and protein oxidation. Analysis of enzymatic and molecular antioxidants revealed that the stress-mitigating CO2 effect operates through up-regulation of antioxidant defense metabolism, as well as by reduced photorespiration resulting in lowered oxidative pressure. Therefore, exposure to future climate extreme episodes will negatively impact plant growth and production, but elevated CO2 is likely to mitigate this effect.

Project description:Understanding the molecular basis of plant heat tolerance helps to predict the consequences of climate warming on plant performance, particularly in vulnerable environments. Our current understanding comes primarily from studies in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) and select crops exposed to short and intense periods of heat stress. In this study we sought to characterise the transcriptomic responses of Wahlenbergia ceracea (W. ceracea), an Australian alpine herb, to growth under sustained moderate warming. We compared responses of pre-defined tolerant and sensitive lines, based on measures of photosynthetic thermostability, to growth under cool (24/15 ºC day/night) or warm (30/20 ºC day/night) temperatures to identify the pathways involved in heat tolerance and acclimation. Under warmer growth temperatures, W. ceracea up-regulated genes involved in RNA metabolism, while down-regulating those involved in photosynthesis and pigment metabolism. In tolerant lines, genes related to photosystem II and light-dependent photosynthetic reactions were more strongly down-regulated. This suggests that the regulation of electron transport and its components may be involved in thermal acclimation. Our results also highlight the importance of hormonal gene networks, particularly those responsive to ethylene, during longer-term moderate warming. In conclusion, our results point to post-transcriptional processes and the stabilisation of the electron transport chain as candidate mechanisms for thermal acclimation in heat-tolerant W. ceracea. The study also revealed many temperature-responsive genes with no detectable ortholog in Arabidopsis, whose characterization may enhance our understanding of physiological acclimation and have relevance for the biotechnological improvement of threatened species and crops.

Transcriptome analysis was performed by Agilent Arabidopsis (V4) 4x44K platform which represented all known genes in the Arabidopsisgenome. Experiments were performed using a modified loop design (Knapen et al., 2009). This design consisted of total 8 arrays; sample from each treatment was labelled once and has 4 biological replicates, two of which were labelled in red and two in green

Project description:The earth’s climate is warming, and warming-induced biological feedbacks to climate threaten to further destabilize ecosystems. In a 30-year soil warming field experiment at the Harvard Forest in central Massachusetts, microbial isolates from heated (+5 degrees C above ambient) show signs of irreversible adaptation to warming in traits associated with altered soil biogeochemical cycling. Our labs have documented physiological adaptation in all three dimensions of microbial activities: growth, resource acquisition, and stress tolerance. We will use metabolomics to investigate the nature of adaptation due to long-term warming, where reduced soil organic matter, reduced soil water holding capacity and potentially increased niche partitioning may be a selective pressure. Specifically we hypothesize that increased drought tolerance of Actinobacteria exposed to long-term warming is due to production of more or different compatible solutes compared to isolates from controls.

Project description:Patterns in functional diversity of organisms at large spatial scales can provide insight into possible responses to future climate change, but it remains a challenge to link large-scale patterns at the organismal level to their underlying physiological mechanisms. The climate variability hypothesis predicts that temperate ectotherms will be less vulnerable to climate warming than tropical ectotherms, due to their superior acclimatization capacity.We investigate thermal acclimation of three species of Takydromus lizards distributed along a broad latitudinal gradient in China, by studying metabolic modifications at the level of the whole organism,organ, mitochondria, metabolome, and proteome.

Project description:As a result of increasing thermal fluctuations and mean temperature values, organisms will experience conditions beyond their physiological limits. In situ adaptation to thermal regimes is mediated via directional selection and phenotypic plasticity. The latter involves physiological and morphological adjustments realized by underlying molecular mechanisms. Understanding species' adaptive capacities requires investigating these adjustive processes. Yet, acclimation through phenotypic plasticity remains largely unexplored, especially at the molecular level; For example, whether cold-adapted species inhabiting freshwater spring ecosystems have evolved adaptive mechanisms to cope with warming of freshwater habitats has, to our knowledge, never been investigated. This work reports a comprehensive proteomics study of the stenotopic species Crunoecia irrorata (Curtis, 1834) (Trichoptera: Lepistomatidae) acclimated to 10, 15 and 20 °C for 168 h. A liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based shotgun proteomics approach identified molecular mechanisms underlying acclimation. We constructed a homology-based database by combining genomic and transcriptomic data from related species and quantified 1356 proteins, of which 186 were differentially expressed between temperature treatments. Through functional annotation, we identified candidate proteins facilitating, among others, trehalose accumulation, tracheal system alteration, and heat shock protein regulation, then discuss concomitant ecophysiological implications. These results provide new insights into the mechanisms of adaptive responses to warming of species inhabiting freshwater ecosystems sensitive to climate change. Further, identified candidate proteins will aid in developing targeted experiments to understand their compensatory physiology. To our knowledge, this is the first study utilizing this approach to investigate the nature of phenotypic plasticity of aquatic macroinvertebrates.

Project description:Crustose coralline algae (CCA) are calcifying red macroalgae that play important ecological roles including stabilisation of reef frameworks and provision of settlement cues for a range of marine invertebrates. Previous research into the responses of CCA to ocean warming (OW) and ocean acidification (OA) have found magnitude of effect to be species-specific. Response to OW and OA could be linked to divergent underlying molecular processes across species. Here we show Sporolithon durum, a species that exhibits low sensitivity to climate stressors, had little change in metabolic performance and did not significantly alter the expression of any genes when exposed to temperature and pH perturbations. In contrast, Porolithon onkodes, a major coral reef builder, reduced photosynthetic rates and had a labile transcriptomic response with over 400 significantly differentially expressed genes, with differential regulation of genes relating to physiological processes such as carbon acquisition and metabolism. The differential gene expression detected in P. onkodes implicates possible key metabolic pathways, including the pentose phosphate pathway, in the stress response of this species. We suggest S. durum is more resistant to OW and OA than P. onkodes, which demonstrated a high sensitivity to climate stressors and may have limited ability for acclimatisation. Understanding changes in gene expression in relation to physiological processes of CCA could help us understand and predict how different species will respond to, and persist in, future ocean conditions predicted for 2100.

Project description:Background biology: Global warming has accelerated in recent decades, with the Arctic warming 2–3 times faster than the global average. As a result boreal species are expanding into the Arctic, at a pace reflecting environmental warming. Nevertheless, the poleward expansion of boreal marine species is restricted by their ability to tolerate low water temperatures, and in the case of intertidal species, sub-zero air temperatures during winter. In Greenland, however, the number of days with extreme sub-zero air temperatures has decreased by more than 50% since the 1950’s, suggesting that the low air temperature constraint is weakening. Although boreal intertidal species could potentially benefit from this warmer climate to establish populations in the Arctic, recent work has shown that local intertidal summer air temperatures in Greenland can exceed 36°C. This temperature is above the thermoregulatory capacity of many boreal intertidal species, including the highly abundant blue mussel Mytilus edulis. Therefore will further colonisation of M. edulis in Greenland be inhibited by the increasingly warm summer temperatures. Aim of experiment: Intertidal animals (Greenland blue mussel M. edulis) were sampled in situ on the first warm days of the year from the inner (warmer) and outer (cooler) regions of the Godthåbsfjorden around Nuuk (64°N) to examine the fjord temperature gradient effect. In addition, subtidal M. edulis were also collected and subjected to two acute temperature shocks of 22 and 32°C, which represented common and extreme summer air temperatures for intertidal habitats near Nuuk.

Project description:Clipping (i.e., harvesting aboveground plant biomass) is common in agriculture and for bioenergy production. However, microbial responses to clipping in the context of climate warming are poorly understood. We investigated the interactive effects of grassland warming and clipping on soil properties, plant and microbial communities, in particular microbial functional genes. Clipping alone did not change the plant biomass production, but warming and clipping combined increased the C4 peak biomass by 47% and belowground net primary production by 110%. Clipping alone and in combination with warming decreased the soil carbon input from litter by 81% and 75%, respectively. With less carbon input, the abundances of genes involved in degrading relatively recalcitrant carbon increased by 38-137% in response to either clipping or the combined treatment, which could weaken the long-term soil carbon stability and trigger a positive feedback to warming. Clipping alone also increased the abundance of genes for nitrogen fixation, mineralization and denitrification by 32-39%. The potentially stimulated nitrogen fixation could help compensate for the 20% decline in soil ammonium caused by clipping alone, and contribute to unchanged plant biomass. Moreover, clipping tended to interact antagonistically with warming, especially on nitrogen cycling genes, demonstrating that single factor studies cannot predict multifactorial changes. These results revealed that clipping alone or in combination with warming altered soil and plant properties, as well as the abundance and structure of soil microbial functional genes. The aboveground biomass removal for biofuel production needs to be re-considered as the long-term soil carbon stability may be weakened.
