Project description:Global temperature increase poses a serious challenge for agricultural production worldwide, affecting yield in many crops including vegetable crops. While most crop plants can survive temperature increases during their vegetative growth periods, the reproduction phase is highly heat-stress (HS)-sensitive. Impaired pollen development and functioning under HS is implicated as the major cause for yield reduction. To better understand HS effect on pollen and identify pollen thermotolerance mechanisms, we established conditions that enable developing pollen grains to acquire thermotolerance (ATT conditions), using tomato as a model system. High-throughput sequencing at cDNA level was performed by Massive Analysis of 3’cDNA using Illumina HiSeq 2000 technology, generating a total of 6430 and 4660 transcripts differentially expressed (p ≤ 1e-05) during pollen development/maturation and following response of developing pollen to ATT, respectively. Gene Onthology functional analysis showed that transcripts related to maintenance of protein homeostasis (translation, proteolysis, protein folding) were enriched during pollen maturation and following the ATT treatment in our study, highlighting these processes as central for enabling pollen maturation and maintenance of pollen functioning under HS. The transcriptomic data was compared to available pollen proteomic data based on the same experimental setup and an overlap of 47% was detected between differentially expressed proteins and transcripts following ATT conditions, highlighting genes/proteins involved in protein folding, oxidation-reduction and translation, and validating transcriptomic results. Involvement of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum in pollen heat acclimation, and activation of several HSPs including sHSPs and HSP101, for protecting pollen cellular components including the translational machinery, are indicated. The results of this study can serve as a valuable resource of genes for future research on improving pollen thermotolerance.
