Project description:Directional selection in the domestication of fish species has resulted in rapid gains of growth, body size, and other production-relevant traits in relatively few generations. While there is clear evidence of genetic divergence contributing to selection-related phenotypic changes, emerging research suggests that intergenerational epigenetic inheritance may also be a relevant mechanism explaining rapid evolutionary change in domestic fish lines. Epigenetic changes have also been implicated in fish species’ responses to warming associated with climate change. Domestic lines of Brook Charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) are the primary source of fish used for recreational fisheries stocking in many parts of Eastern North America and there are concerns about how these fish will fare when stocked into lakes in the coming decades. We jointly investigated the effects of directional selection for performance traits (i.e., absence of early sexual maturation and increased growth) and exposure to elevated temperatures on DNA methylation in sperm cells of two experimental lines (hereafter: Selected and Control lines) of Brook Charr . We used whole-genome bisulfite sequencing to characterize DNA methylation at over 17 million methylated sites and identified 393 selection-related differentially methylated regions (DMR). The putative functions of genes in proximity to these DMRs are consistent with well-characterized phenotypic differences between the lines, including lipid metabolism and precocial maturation, and support the hypothesis that rapid evolution of traits may be partially mediated by epigenetic inheritance. We subsequently detected 85 warming-related DMRs in the Control line and 302 DMRs in the Selected line. None of these regions were shared between the two lines, indicating that the directional selection regime significantly altered the environmentally sensitive epigenetic landscape.

Project description:Soil transplant serves as a proxy to simulate climate change in realistic climate regimes. Here, we assessed the effects of climate warming and cooling on soil microbial communities, which are key drivers in Earth’s biogeochemical cycles, four years after soil transplant over large transects from northern (N site) to central (NC site) and southern China (NS site) and vice versa. Four years after soil transplant, soil nitrogen components, microbial biomass, community phylogenetic and functional structures were altered. Microbial functional diversity, measured by a metagenomic tool named GeoChip, and phylogenetic diversity are increased with temperature, while microbial biomass were similar or decreased. Nevertheless, the effects of climate change was overridden by maize cropping, underscoring the need to disentangle them in research. Mantel tests and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) demonstrated that vegetation, climatic factors (e.g., temperature and precipitation), soil nitrogen components and CO2 efflux were significantly correlated to the microbial community composition. Further investigation unveiled strong correlations between carbon cycling genes and CO2 efflux in bare soil but not cropped soil, and between nitrogen cycling genes and nitrification, which provides mechanistic understanding of these microbe-mediated processes and empowers an interesting possibility of incorporating bacterial gene abundance in greenhouse gas emission modeling.

Project description:Parental effects represent an important source of variation in offspring phenotypes. Depending on the specific mechanisms involved, parental effects may be caused to different degrees by either the maternal or paternal parent, and these effects may in turn act at different stages of development. In order to detect parental effects acting on gene transcription regulation and length phenotype during ontogeny, the transcriptomic profiles of two reciprocal hybrids from Laval × Rupert and Laval × domestic populations of brook charr were compared at hatching, yolk sac resorption, and 15 weeks after exogenous feeding. Using a salmonid cDNA microarray, our results show that parental effects modulated gene expression among reciprocal hybrids only at the yolk sac resorption stage. In addition, Laval × domestic and Laval × Rupert reciprocal hybrids differed in the magnitude of theses parental effects, with 199 and 630 differentially expressed transcripts, respectively. This corresponds to a maximum of 18.5% of the analyzed transcripts. These transcripts are functionally related to cell cycle, nucleic acid metabolism and intracellular protein traffic, which is consistent with observed differences associated with embryonic development and growth differences in other fish species. Our results thus illustrate how parental effects on patterns of gene transcription seem dependent on the genetic architecture of the parents. In addition, in absence of transcriptomic differences, the non-transcriptomic deposits could also act to highlight the offspring differences in length before the yolk sac resorption.

Project description:Arctic charr is an especially attractive aquaculture species given that it features the desirable tissue traits of other salmonids, but can be bred and grown at inland freshwater tank farms year round. It is therefore of interest to develop upper temperature tolerant (UTT) strains of Arctic charr to increase the robustness of the species in the face of climate change, as well as to enable production in more southern regions. We conducted an acute temperature trial to identify temperature tolerant and intolerant Arctic charr individuals. Specifically, approximately 200 fish were transferred to an experimental tank (diameter: 1.86 m, depth 50 cm) and left to acclimate for 48 h at ambient temperature. After acclimation, 10 fish were removed to act as a control group, then water that had been diverted through a heat exchanger was added to the flow-through system to increase the water temperature in the tank by 6°C/h until it reached 22°C, then 0.5°C every 30 min until the water reached 25°C, the observed lethal temperature for these fish. When the water temperature reached 25°C, the temperature was held constant and the fish were closely monitored for signs of stress. The first and last 10 individuals to show loss of balance were quickly removed from the tank for sampling, thus representing the 5% least and most temperature tolerant fish, respectively. A reference design microarray study was then performed with the cGRASP 32K microarray using six samples from each group (Intolerant, Tolerant, Control) to identify genes differentially expressed between groups. The results of this study will feed into an ongoing Arctic charr marker-assisted selection based broodstock development program, and may contribute to population-based conservation initiatives for salmonids in general.

Pair-wise direct comparisons between 8 reciprocal hybrids (LavalRupert vs RupertLaval and LavalDomestic vs DomesticLaval) were performed at each developmental stage. For each developmental stage, cDNA of 8 samples from each cross were hybridized for a total of 48 microarrays analyzed. The distribution of dyes is equilibrated among each cross (4 samples with cy3 and 4 samples with Al647).

Project description:Cellulose is the most abundant component of plant litter, which is critical for terrestrial carbon cycling. Nonetheless, it remains unknown how climate changes affect cellulose-decomposing microorganisms. Here, we carried out a multi-year litterbag experiment to examine cellulose decomposition undergoing +3°C warming in an Oklahoma tallgrass prairie, USA. GeoChip 5.0M was employed to detect microbial functional genes.
