Tomato seeds pretreated with Antifreeze protein type I (AFP I) promotes the germination under cold stress by regulating the genes involved in germination process.

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to investigate the involvement of antifreeze proteins (AFPs; type I and III) in the germination mechanism of tomato seeds under low temperature stress. Germination of the seeds grown at a room temperature (25°C) was observed on 5 days after sowing (DAS), while all seeds exposed to a low temperature started to germinate at 16 days after sowing (DAS). However, in comparison with control seeds (0 µg/l), seeds treated with AFP I (100, 300, or 500 µg/l) germinated earlier and at a higher percentage until 20 DAS, and seeds treated with 100 µg/l AFP I showed the highest percentage of germination. Surprisingly, AFP III did not significantly increase germination, and the rate was lower among 500 µg/l AFP III-treated seeds compared with control seeds (0 µg/l). The transcription levels of the plasma membrane-associated H+-ATPase gene and antioxidant-related superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase 1 (CAT1) genes were analyzed, and the transcription levels of the genes in the seeds grown at 25°C were relatively low. For low temperature-treated seeds, H+-ATPase in control seeds (0 µg/l) was higher compared with that in AFP I-treated seeds and was lower compared with that in AFP III-treated seeds. The expression levels of the antioxidant-related genes (SOD and CAT1) were lower in AFP I-treated seeds than in control seeds (0 µg/l); however, they were higher in AFP III-treated seeds than in control seeds (0 µg/l). Overall, compared with AFP III, AFP I may potentially function as a cold-protective agent by modulating the genes associated with seed germination.

Project description:Treatment of the seeds. The Solanum lycopersicum var. Money Maker wild type (MM) and fri1-1 mutant seeds were incubated on distilled-water saturated cotton wool in clear plastic boxes wrapped in black plastic sheets in darkness during 3 hours at 25°C. After that, the seeds were treated as follows: a) 24 hr of continuous irradiation with far-red light, FRc; b) 24 hr of FRc follow by a 10 min red light pulse (Rp), FRc+Rp; and c) complete darkness. After the light treatments, the seeds were incubated in darkness (25°C) until sampling. Red light (35umol/m2sec) was provided by 40W fluorescent lamps (Phillips 40/15) in combination with a red translucid acrylic. FRc light (100 umol/m2sec) was provided by a set of 150W incandescent internal reflector lamps (Phillips) in combination with a red acetate filter, six 2mm thick blue acrylic filters Paolini 2031 and 10cm water filter. Total RNA isolation. The seeds were grinded in liquid nitrogen and extracted with two volumes of extraction buffer (1% SDS, 6% p-aminosalycilic acid, 1% NaCl, 6% water-saturated phenol and 2% 2-mercaptoethanol) and two volumes of acid phenol:chloroform solution. The aqueous phase was sequentially extracted with one volume of acid phenol:chloroform solution and one volume of chloroform. The nucleic acids in the aqueous phase were precipitated with 0.15 volumes of 3M NaCl and 2.5 volumes of 100% ethanol at –80°C for 20 minutes. After centrifugation, the pellet was washed with 70% ethanol, resuspended in RNase-free water and precipitated with one volume of 4M LiCl over night at 4°C. The LiCl was removed after centrifugation and the pellet was rinsed with 2M LiCl and resuspended in RNase-free water. The total RNA was treated with RNase-free DNase (Promega) and cleaned up with mini spin columns (RNeasy Plant Mini Kit, Qiagen). The mRNA was amplificated with Message Amp II aRNA Amplification Kit (Ambion) and concentrated by vacumm centrifugation. Keywords: Direct comparison 21 hybs total
