Project description:For many organisms the ability to cold acclimate with the onset of seasonal cold has major implications for their fitness. In insects, where this ability is widespread, the physiological changes associated with increased cold tolerance have been well studied. Despite this, little work has been done to trace changes in gene expression during cold acclimation that lead to an increase in cold tolerance. We used an RNA-Seq approach to investigate this in two species of the Drosophila virilis group. We found that the majority of genes that are differentially expressed during cold acclimation differ between the two species. Despite this, the biological processes associated with the differentially expressed genes were broadly similar in the two species. These included: metabolism, cell membrane composition, and circadian rhythms, which are largely consistent with previous work on cold acclimation / cold tolerance. In addition, we also found evidence of the involvement of the rhodopsin pathway in cold acclimation, a pathway that has been recently linked to thermotaxis. Interestingly, we found no evidence of differential expression of stress genes implying that long-term cold acclimation and short-term stress response may have a different physiological basis.

Project description:We utilized a candidate gene approach using custom microarray constructed for our study species Drosophila montana and D. virilis to identify genes with modulated expression patterns under low temperature conditions. The flies were exposed to four different treatments (+5°C for 6 days, 0°C for 1 hour, two periods of recovery after cold stress and a control treatment). The aim of the study was to identify potential cold-responsive genes and to investigate differences in gene expression between the species. Microarray analysis revealed altogether 31 out of 219 genes on the array to show expression changes during different stages of cold stress. Among the potential stress tolerance genes detected earlier in D. melanogaster, hsr-omega was upregulated in both species during cold acclimation, expression changes in other genes being treatment- and species specific. Our microarray study clearly showed that different stages of cold response elicit changes at least in genes involved in heat shock response, circadian rhythm and metabolism.

Project description:Experiment was designed to identify transcriptome changes during cold acclimation of Drosophila melanogaster male flies. Resistance to cold is often measured by recovery times from chill coma, which is induced almost immediately upon exposure to low but non-freezing temperatures (~0C), with flies becoming immobilised and losing motor activity. This paralysis is also ostensibly reversible upon return to normal temperatures, although again there can be longer term effects. Acclimation for increased cold resistance requires exposure periods ranging from hours or days to several weeks at low temperatures between 0C to 12C, and samples were taken during the cold acclimation period (1 hr, 2 hr, 3 hr, 6 hr, 12 hr, 24 hr, 36 hr and 48 hr).

Project description:Frost is a major abiotic stress limiting plant growth and development. Climate change models predict an increase in the magnitude and frequency of late-frost events, which, together with an observed loss of soil insulation, will significantly damage roots. To withstand freezing stress, plants have evolved an adaptative process known as cold acclimation. While this process is well documented, it is known that the plant response to multiple stresses is unique and cannot be deduced from the response to each stress taken separately. Here, we investigate the impact of long-term metal exposure on the cold acclimation of Salix viminalis roots. To do so, we used physiological, transcriptomic and proteomic approaches. We found that while metal exposure significantly affected plants morphology and physiology, it did not impede cold acclimation. The impact of the simultaneous exposure to metals and cold acclimation on the transcriptome was unique, while at the proteomic level, the cold acclimation component seemed to be dominant. Further analysis revealed that metals strongly and negatively impacted the cellular antioxidant system. While this should have led to a loss of frost tolerance, it was not observed. A group of proteins was identified that could have played a role in compensating the impediment of the antioxidative system in metal-exposed roots.

Project description:We utilized a candidate gene approach using custom microarray constructed for our study species Drosophila montana and D. virilis to identify genes with modulated expression patterns under low temperature conditions. The flies were exposed to four different treatments (+5°C for 6 days, 0°C for 1 hour, two periods of recovery after cold stress and a control treatment). The aim of the study was to identify potential cold-responsive genes and to investigate differences in gene expression between the species.

Our microarray study clearly showed that different stages of cold response elicit changes at least in genes involved in heat shock response, circadian rhythm and metabolism. Cold- induced gene expression was investigated comparing four different treatments to the control treatment: 1) Cold acclimation: 14 days in control conditions, then 6 days at +5°C 2) Cold hardening: 20 days in control conditions, then1 hour at 0°C 3) 15-min recovery from chill coma: the 20-day-old flies were exposed to -6°C for 16 hours, after which they were let to recover for 15 minutes 4) 1-hour recovery from chill coma: the 20-day-old flies were exposed to -6°C for 16 hours, after which they were let to recover for 1 hour. In control treatment flies were kept for 20 days at 19°C. All the flies were 20-days old at the time of sample collection, and the light:dark cycle was 22 hours of light and 2 hours of dark. Because of the limited space on the array plate, the recovery samples were collected only for D. montana. All the samples were collected 5-6 hours after the lights had been turned on in the chamber and the flies were immediately immersed in liquid nitrogen, after which they were stored at -84ºC. Three pools of ten flies were collected from each treatment group.

Project description:The sfr3-1 mutation causes freezing-sensitivity in Arabidopsis thaliana. The mutated gene has been identified by positional cloning and is currently being characterised. The mutant appears normal when grown in the warm (no phenotype has been identified associated with such growth). However, following cold acclimation and subsequent freezing mutant plants are severely damaged whilst wild type plants are not. This suggests that sfr3 is deficient in the cold acclimation process. Micro-array analysis will enable the identification of any transcriptional changes during the cold acclimation process. This information will then be used, together with information obtained by gene characterisation, in order to more fully understand the nature of the sfr3 mutation.

Project description:This dataset is associated with two publications 1. Elucidating the biochemical basis of trans-16:1 fatty acid change in leaves during cold acclimation in wheat. http://doi.org/10.1002/pei3.10044 In this study, comparative RNA-seq analyses with leaf tissues undergoing cold acclimation reveal concerted transcriptome shifts indicating a reduced chloroplast lipid pathway activity and increased cytosolic ER membrane lipid synthesis. To explore the underlying metabolic and transcriptional mechanisms responsible for the reduction of the t16:1 under cold, a detailed lipid analysis and comparative transcriptome study were conducted with four wheat cultivars during cold treatment. The RNA-seq dataset includes four wheat cultivars (Manitou, Winter Manitou, Norstar and Spring Norstar) treated with cold paired with control. The data as a whole show that leaf tissues experience a gradual decrease in chloroplast lipid pathway activity and the variation in the decline of chloroplast lipid synthesis in different cultivars manifest in the rate of decrease in t16:1decrease in leaf tissues. Future efforts are required to determine if and how the down regulation of the chloroplast lipid pathway is related to the development of winter hardiness. 2. Computational genomics insights into cold acclimation in wheat. https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2022.1015673 In this study, integrated computational approaches was employed to investigate the transcriptomics and lipidomics data associated with cold acclimation and vernalization in the four wheat genotypes of distinct cold tolerance. Differential expression was investigated between cold treated and control samples and between the winter-habit and spring-habit wheat genotypes. Collectively, 12,676 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Principal component analysis of these DEGs indicated that the first, second, and third principal components (PC1, PC2, and PC3) explained the variance in cold treatment, vernalization and cold hardiness, respectively. Differential expression feature extraction (DEFE) analysis revealed that the winter-habit wheat genotype Norstar had high number of unique DEGs (1884 up and 672 down) and 63 winter-habit genes, which were clearly distinctive from the 64 spring-habit genes based on PC1, PC2 and PC3. Correlation analysis revealed 64 cold hardy genes and 39 anti-hardy genes. Cold acclimation encompasses a wide spectrum of biological processes and the involved genes work cohesively as revealed through network propagation and collective association strength of local subnetworks. Integration of transcriptome and lipidomics data revealed that the winter-habit genes, such as COR413-TM1, CIPKs and MYB20, together with the phosphatidylglycerol lipids, PG(34:3) and PG(36:6), played a pivotal role in cold acclimation and coordinated cohesively associated subnetworks to confer cold tolerance.
