Project description:The combined heat and drought stress influence the plant growth and development. Switchgrass is an economically important crop due to the availability of high biomass with little water and nutrient requirements. Earlier reports suggested that switchgrass growth and yield highly influenced by heat and drought. The mechanism behind heat and drought stress is not fully understood in switchgrass. This study has undertaken to analyze the epigenetic modification using ChIP-Seq analysis with the activation histone mark H3K4me3. Conclusion: Our study provides the first epigenomic analysis of heat and drought response in switchgrass. This comprehensive resource will provide other epigenomic regulated information in non-model plant species.

Project description:Purpose: Increasing biomass yield and quality of feedstock have been a recent interest in switchgrass research. Despite the economic importance of switchgrass, increasing temperature and water deficit are limiting factors to the cultivation of bioenergy crops in the semi-arid areas. The effect of individual drought or heat stress has been studied separately in switchgrass. However, there is relatively limited or no report on the molecular basis of combined abiotic stress tolerance in switchgrass particularly the combination of drought and heat stress. We used RNA-Seq approaches to elucidate the transcriptome changes of switchgrass in response to drought and high temperatures simultaneously. Method: We conducted solely drought treatment in switchgrass plant Alamo AP13 by withholding water after 45 days of growing. For the combination of drought and heat effect, heat treatment (35 °C/25 °C day/night) was imposed after 72 h of the initiation of drought. Samples were collected at 0 h, 72 h, 96 h, 120 h, 144 h, and 168 h after treatment imposition, total RNA was extracted, and RNA-Seq conducted. Results:Out of total 32,190 genes, we identified 3,912, as DT responsive genes, 2,339 and 4,635 as , heat (HT) and drought and heat (DTHT) responsive genes, respectively. There were 209, 106, and 220 transcription factors (TFs) differentially expressed under DT, HT and DTHT respectively Conclusion: Through RNA-Seq analysis, we have identified unique and overlapping genes in response to DT and combined DTHT stress in switchgrass. The combination of DT and HT stress may affect the photosynthetic machinery and phenylpropanoid pathway of switchgrass which negatively impacts lignin synthesis and biomass production of switchgrass. The biological function of genes identified particularly in response to DTHT stress could further be confirmed by techniques such as single point mutation or RNAi.

Project description:In this study we were interested in identifying the gene networks that are responsive to chronic heat treatment in a switchgrass cultivar that is widely grown in the south-western USA and where 38C day temperatures have been reported for more than 100 days in the recent years. Switchgrass Alamo plants were subjected to chronic heat stress for 50 days (38 C/30C; day/night) or maintained under optimal conditions (28C/20C). Leaves were collected at the end of the heat regime for transcriptome analysis.

Project description:Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a perennial crop producing deep roots thus highly tolerant to soil water deficit conditions. However, seedling establishment in field is very susceptible to prolonged and periodic drought stress. In this study, a “sandwich” system simulating a gradual water deletion process was developed. Switchgrass seedlings were subjected to a 20-day gradual drought treatment process when soil water tension was increased to 0.05 MPa (moderate drought stress) and leaf physiological properties had expressed significant alteration. Drought-induced changes in leaf proteomes were identified using the relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) labeling method followed by nano-scale liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (nano-LC-MS/MS) analysis. Additionally, total leaf proteins were processed using a combinatorial library of peptide ligands to enrich for lower abundance proteins. Both total proteins and those enriched samples were analyzed to increase the coverage of the quantitative proteomics analysis. A total of 7,006 leaf proteins were identified, and 257 (4% of the leaf proteome) expressed a significant difference (P < 0.05, fold change < 0.6 or > 1.7) from the non-treated control to drought-treated conditions. Results from this study, in addition to revealing molecular responses to drought stress, provide a large number of proteins (candidate genes) that can be employed to improve switchgrass seedling growth and establishment under soil drought condition.

Project description:Durum wheat is an important cereal crop grown mainly in semi-arid environments (e.g. Mediterranean regions) characterized by water scarcity and high temperatures often occurring at the same time. This work reports on a transcriptomic analysis carried out on two durum wheat cultivars (Cappelli and Ofanto) characterized by different water use efficiency (WUE), grown to booting stage and subjected to a combination of drought and heat stresses, a situation similar to the experience of a crop grown in Mediterranean environments and exposed to a terminal heat/drought stress. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, alessio.

Project description:Sorghum is an important crop often subjected to simultaneous high temperatures and drought in the field. We examined the gene expression response to heat and drought stress both individually, and in combination, with the aim of identifying important stress tolerance mechanisms. Plants were subjected to 4 different conditions (control, heat shock, drought stress and combined heat and drought stress). 3 replicates were carried out for each treatment type giving a total of 12 samples

Project description:A heat and drought tolerant rice cultivar (N22) was grown in the field under control and drought conditions during the dry season in 2013. Drought was applied during early grain filling and resulted in simultaneous heat stress, leading to reduced grain yield and quality. Total RNA was extracted from developing seeds under stress and control (fully flooded) conditions and RNA-seq analysis was performed. These samples are a part of a bigger experiment analysing the responses of three contrasting rice cultivars (N22, Dular, Anjali) to combined heat and drought stress including different organs (developing seeds, flag leaves, flowering spikelets) and developmental stages (early grain filling, flowering) at the transcriptomic level.

Project description:Phoenix dactylifera seedlings were exposed to heat, drought and combined heat & drought conditions in growth chambers. Leaf samples were collected for total RNA isolation (RNAseq, Illumina HiSeq 1000), and water soluble metabolites. The RNAseq of four biological replicates (two individuals per replicate) were compared against the control condition. Transcriptomics data suggests the combine heat and drought resembled heat response, whereas drought resembled more to control. The hallmarks of heat stress were visible in the transcriptomics data, such as protein misfolding, response to hydrogen peroxide and cell wall modification, as well as ABA signaling in the case of drought. Since the plants were exposed to the stress for several days before harvesting, the early signs of heat stress such as calcium and NO signaling were not detected anymore. In addition, data suggest a significant enrichment of circadian rhythm motifs in the differentially expressed genes in heat and combined heat and drought stresses, suggesting new stress avoidance strategies.

Project description:In light of the changes in precipitation and soil water availability expected with climate change, understanding the mechanisms underlying plant responses to water deficit is essential. Toward that end we have conducted an integrative analysis of responses to drought stress in the perennial C4 grass and biofuel crop, Panicum virgatum (switchgrass). Responses to soil drying and re-watering were measured at transcriptional, physiological, and metabolomic levels. To assess the interaction of soil moisture with diel light:dark cycles, we profiled gene expression in drought and control treatments under pre-dawn and mid-day conditions. Soil drying resulted in reduced leaf water potential, gas exchange, and chlorophyll fluorescence along with differential expression of a large fraction of the transcriptome (37%). Many transcripts responded differently depending on time of day (e.g. up-regulation pre-dawn and down-regulation mid-day). Genes associated with C4 photosynthesis were down-regulated during drought, while C4 metabolic intermediates accumulated. Rapid changes in gene expression were observed during recovery from drought, along with increased water use efficiency and chlorophyll fluorescence. Our findings demonstrate that drought responsive gene expression depends strongly on time of day and that gene expression is extensively modified during the first few hours of drought recovery. Analysis of covariation in gene expression, metabolite abundance, and physiology among plants revealed non-linear relationships that suggest critical thresholds in drought stress responses. Future studies may benefit from evaluating these thresholds among diverse accessions of switchgrass and other C4 grasses.

Project description:Floral organs are extremely sensitive to stress during anthesis and lead to severe yield loss. Rice anthers and pollinated pistils of two cultivars with contrasting tolerance to heat and drought stress under variable conditions, including control, heat, combined heat and drought stress, were used to explore gene expression pattern in male and female reproductive organs during anthesis under control and stress conditions. More gene regulation was induced by combined drought and heat stress than heat in anthers of both cultivars. N22 showed less regulation under combined stress than Moroberekan. The overlap of regulated genes between two cultivars was rather low, indicated the distinct molecular stress responses. We used whole genome microarrays to explore gene expression pattern and molecular mechanisms in male and female reproductive organs during anthesis under control and stress conditions in two rice cultivars, sought to identify the key transcripts that play roles in inducing heat and drought tolerance during reproduction in rice.
