Project description:High temperature events can disrupt species interactions, including those among hosts, symbionts, and natural enemies. Understanding the genetic and physiological processes underlying these disruptions is a critical scientific challenge in this era of anthropogenic climate change. We explore how high temperatures disrupt the interactions among an herbivorous insect host, Manduca sexta, its insect parasitoid, Cotesia congregata, and the parasitoid’s symbiotic virus. In this system, high temperatures kill developing parasitoids, but not hosts. We evaluated the physiological and transcriptomic causes of thermal mismatch in ecological interactions using parasitoid egg in vitro experiments, immunological assays, and RNAseq. We found that high temperatures disrupt the capacity of the parasitoid’s symbiotic virus to immunosuppress the host insect, resulting in thermal mismatch and death of the parasitoid. At the transcriptomic level, key viral genes involved in suppressing host immune pathways showed reduced expression, driven by the virus’s circular genomic structure. This work is among the first to demonstrate the genetic and physiological mechanisms by which a symbiont limits the ecological functioning of host-parasite dynamics, and provides a framework for understanding how molecular processes give rise to ecological outcomes in response to high temperature events caused by climate change.

Project description:Background Coral reefs are expected to be severely impacted by rising seawater temperatures associated with climate change. This study used cDNA microarrays to investigate transcriptional effects of thermal stress in embryos of the coral Montastraea faveolata. Embryos were exposed to 27.5C, 29.0C, and 31.5C directly after fertilization. Differences in gene expression were measured after 12 and 48 hours. Results Analysis of differentially expressed genes indicated that increased temperatures may lead to oxidative stress, apoptosis, and a structural reconfiguration of the cytoskeletal network. Metabolic processes were downregulated, and the action of histones and zinc finger-containing proteins may have played a role in the long-term regulation upon heat stress. Conclusions Embryos responded differently depending on exposure time and temperature level. Embryos showed expression of stress-related genes already at a temperature of 29.0C, but seemed to be able to counteract the initial response over time. By contrast, embryos at 31.5C displayed continuous expression of stress genes. The genes that played a role in the response to elevated temperatures consisted of both highly conserved and coral-specific genes. These genes might serve as a basis for research into coral-specific adaptations to stress responses and global climate change.

The experimental setup followed a reference design, i.e. all samples were hybridized against the same pool made up of equal amounts of RNA from all samples. We used three technical replicates for each temperature. Common reference samples were labeled with Cy3, temperature samples with Cy5. Microarrays for M. faveolata contained 1,314 coding sequences, of which 43% had functional annotations as determined by homology to known genes.

Project description:In the transition from recto-vaginal colonizing organism to invasive pathogen, Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus, GBS) must adapt to changes in host temperature, including elevated temperatures due to host fever. To identify genes important to the survival of GBS in response to heat stress, transcriptional profiling was performed using DNA microarray analysis, comparing GBS grown at normal temperature (37˚C) to GBS exposed to elevated temperature (42˚C).

Project description:Ustilago maydis is an important plant pathogen causing corn-smut disease and an effective biotechnological production host. The lack of a comprehensive metabolic overview hinders a full understanding of the organism’s environmental adaptation and a full use of its metabolic potential. Here, we report the first genome scale metabolic model (GSMM) of Ustilago maydis (iUma22) for the simulation of metabolic activities. iUma22 was reconstructed from sequencing and annotation using PathwayTools, the biomass equation was derived from literature values and from the codon composition. The final model contains over 25% of annotated genes (6,909) in the sequenced genome. Substrate utilization was corrected by Biolog-Phenotype arrays and exponential batch cultivations were used to test growth predictions. The growth data revealed a metabolic phenotype shift at high glucose uptake rates and the model allowed its quantification. A pan-genome of four different U. maydis strains revealed missing metabolic pathways in iUma22. The new model allows studies of metabolic adaptations to different environmental niches as well as for biotechnological applications.

Project description:The Tsw gene conferring Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) resistance in Capsicum chinense breaks down at high temperatures. Here, we performed RNA-Seq analysis under different temperature conditions to uncover the resistance breakdown mechanism using TSWV-resistant C. chinense ‘PI152225’ and susceptible ‘Habanero’. RNA-Seq analysis revealed only a few differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at 1 dpi but 2,096 and 551 DEGs between plants at 25°C and 30°C at 5 dpi. At 5 dpi, there were more upregulated than downregulated DEGs at both temperatures. Gene ontology analysis revealed 30 enriched biological process terms and nine molecular function terms that were enriched among upregulated DEGs at 25°C. We performed KEGG analysis with 805 upregulated DEGs at both temperatures to explore the mechanism underlying resistance breakdown at high temperature. The DEGs were mapped into 10 KEGG pathways. ACC oxidase genes in the ethylene biosynthesis pathway were differentially expressed upon pathogen challenge. Most DEGs from the biological process, molecular function, and cellular components categories involved in resistance responses were downregulated at 30°C. Finally, genes involved in abscisic acid-mediated stress signaling were differentially expressed at high temperature. These results shed light on host–virus interactions and temperature-dependent resistance mechanisms in pepper at the molecular level.

Project description:Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) such as Steinernema spp. and Heterorhabditis spp. are obligate parasites of insects and effective biocontrol agents. Infective juveniles (IJs) of Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis megidis are distantly related and exhibit different foraging behaviours but utilise similar volatiles to find hosts. These IJs live in the soil year-round and are exposed to a range of temperatures and associated stressors. Here we attempt to understand how exposure to low temperatures, and the duration of this exposure, affects the behaviour and stress resistance of these IJs. S. carpocapsae and H. megidis have similar responses to many odorants upon emergence from their natal host. The chemotaxis of H. megidis at 20°C is generally enhanced after exposure to lower temperatures, whereas the chemotaxis of S. carpocapsae at 20°C tends to be inverted by exposure low temperatures. Exposure to temperatures below culture temperature affects the chemotaxis of H. megidis gradually, whereas S. carpocapsae behave in a binary manner. Brief exposure to 9°C causes the behaviour of S. carpocapsae IJs to be altered and increased their resistance to freezing and desiccation for weeks afterwards. Label free quantitative proteomics confirms that exposure to 9°C for 1 week elicits dramatic increases in chaperone proteins in S. carpocapsae IJs, which are retained at high levels for 2 weeks after their transfer to 20°C. The proteome of S. carpocapsae IJs exposed to 9°C for 1 week and subsequently transferred to 20°C for 2 weeks conforms closely to that of IJs kept at 9°C for 3 weeks. Thus, S. carpocapsae IJs display a high degree of plasticity, and their behaviour and stress resistance may be manipulated by brief controlled exposure to low temperatures.
