Project description:Tomato fruit are susceptible to postharvest chilling injury when stored at low temperature, thus result in quality deterioration and economic losses worldwide. Protein phosphorylation is an important post-translational modification, which is proven to be involved in plant cold tolerance. But the protein phosphorylation underlying cold stress responses in tomato fruit are remains poorly understood. In this study, we perform comparative phosphoproteomics and provide an overall phosphoprotein profiles in tomato fruit after postharvest cold storage and subsequent shelf-life. A total of 10260 phosphopeptides corresponding to 9640 phosphosites in 3740 phosphoproteins were identified.
Project description:To identify tomato miRNAs involved in chilling response, two small RNA libraries and two degradome libraries from chilling-treated(4M-BM-0C/4M-BM-0C for 1hM-oM-<M-^L4h, 8h, 12h, 24h and 48h) and non-chilling-treated (25M-BM-0C/20M-BM-0C for 1hM-oM-<M-^L4h, 8h, 12h, 24h and 48h)leaves of LA1777M-bM-^@M-^Y (S. habrochaites) seedlings were constructed. A total of 4342604 and 7231609 clean reads were obtained by high-throughput sequencing of the two libraries, respectively. 161 conserved miRNAs and 236 novel miRNAs were identified in the two librayies. Of these miRNAs, 192 were upregulated, whereas 205 were downregulated in response to chilling stress. Among these, 23 miRNAs and 26 miRNAs were significantly upregulated and downregulated in response to chilling stress, respectively.Through degradome sequencing,62 target genes were cleaved by 42 conserved miRNAs, while nine target genes were cleaved by nine novel miRNAs. Target gene functional analysis revealed that most target genes played positive role in the chilling response, primarily by regulating the expression of anti-stress proteins, antioxidant enzymes and genes involved in cell wall formation. tomato miRNA-seq and Degradome-seq after chilling
Project description:To identify tomato miRNAs involved in chilling response, two small RNA libraries and two degradome libraries from chilling-treated(4°C/4°C for 1h,4h, 8h, 12h, 24h and 48h) and non-chilling-treated (25°C/20°C for 1h,4h, 8h, 12h, 24h and 48h)leaves of LA1777’ (S. habrochaites) seedlings were constructed.

Project description:This study assayed the gene expression changes in response to chilling stress in the shoots and roots of tomato seedlings. Both a pretreatment and a concurrent ambient control were sampled to contrast gene expression.

Project description:RNA-seq for SlGRAS4 chilling treatment in tomato fruit
Project description:Most crops are from tropical origin and, consequently, chilling sensitive. However, some tropical plants, are able to augment their chilling tolerance in response to suboptimal growth temperatures. Yet, the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying this response still remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that tomato plants can develop a chilling acclimation response and document the comprehensive transcriptomic and metabolic adjustments leading to the increase in chilling tolerance.
Project description:Anthocyanins are high value plant antioxidants which are not present in the fruits of cultivated tomato. However, both the dominant gene Anthocyanin fruit (Aft) and the recessive gene atroviolacea (atv), introgressed into domesticated tomato from two different wild Solanum species, stimulate a limited anthocyanin pigmentation. Surprisingly, double mutant Aft/Aft atv/atv tomatoes are characterised by the presence of anthocyanins in the fruit peel, resulting in intensely purple pigmented fruit. We carried out a transcript profiling analysis using GeneChip® Tomato Genome Arrays, in order to identify differentially expressed genes when comparing wild type, Aft/Aft, atv/atv, and Aft/Aft atv/atv fruits. The expression pattern of several genes involved in the anthocyanin pathway was analyzed in detail. Among the fruit peel-associated differentially expressed transcripts, genes involved in phenylpropanoid pathway, cell wall composition, biotic and abiotic stress responses, sugar and hormone metabolism were overrepresented in Aft/Aft atv/atv. Transcriptomic analysis thus revealed that the activation of anthocyanin synthesis in tomato fruit was accompanied by a complex remodulation of gene expression, likely affecting important agronomic and merceological traits.

Wild type (Cv. Ailsa Craig, accession number LA2838A), Aft/Aft (accession number LA1996), atv/atv (accession number LA0797) and double mutant (Aft/Aft atv/atv) were grown during the winter season in a controlled heated greenhouse. Fruits were collected at mature green, turning red and red stages of development. The transcriptional profile in Aft/Aft, atv/atv, and Aft/Aft atv/atv fruits when compared to the wild type was analyzed using the GeneChip® Tomato Genome Array.
Project description:Bud dormancy – the repeated phase of rest that punctuates periods of growth in the life cycles of many perennial species. In temperate fruit trees, fulfillment of chilling requirement and subsequent heat requirement enable dormant buds to have uniform blooming in field. However, effects of environmental factors such as chilling underlying dormancy release and bud break has not been fully understood. Histone modification is an important epigenetic regulation system which plays an important role in gene expression in various developmental and adaptive processes. Taking advantage of next-generation sequencing, we generated epigenome and transcriptome profiling at different stages before chilling, after chilling and just before bud break in apple (Malus x domestica). We found H3K27me3 may play dominant role during chilling and the genes involved in lignin and lipid metabolic process showed histone modifications. Interestingly, the higher ratio of genes in chilling-associated network exhibited histone modifications, suggesting crucial epigenetic roles in regulating gene expressions in response to chilling during dormancy. Furthermore, H3K4me3 may play more important role during bud break and the genes related to cell wall modification/organization were strongly modified. Taken together, this study provides important insights into the chromatin-based gene regulation underlying chilling-mediated dormancy release and bud break in apple.
