Comparative transcriptome analysis uncovers different heat stress responses in heat-resistant and heat-sensitive jujube cultivars.

ABSTRACT: Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is an economically and agriculturally significant fruit crop and is widely cultivated throughout the world. Heat stress has recently become a primary abiotic stressor limiting the productivity and growth of jujube, as well as other crops. There are few studies, however, that have performed transcriptome profiling of jujube when it is exposed to heat stress. In this study, we observed the physiochemical changes and analyzed gene expression profiles in resistant jujube cultivar 'HR' and sensitive cultivar 'HS' subjected to heat stress for 0, 1, 3, and 5d. Twenty-four cDNA libraries from 'HR' and 'HS' leaves were built with a transcriptome assay. A total of 6887 and 5077 differentially expressed genes were identified in 'HR' and 'HS' after 1d, 3d, and 5d of heat stress compared with the control treatment, GO and KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that some of the genes were highly enriched in oxidation-reduction process, response to stress, response to water deprivation, response to heat, carbon metabolism, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, and plant hormone signal transduction and may play vital roles in the heat stress response in jujube plants. Differentially expressed genes were identified in the two cultivars, including heat shock proteins, transcriptional factors, and ubiquitin-protein ligase genes. And the expression pattern of nine genes was also validated by qRT-PCR. These results will provide useful information for elucidating the molecular mechanism underlying heat stress in different jujube cultivars.

Project description:BackgroundChinese kale (Brassica alboglabra) contains high nutritional elements and functional molecules, especially anticarcinogenic and antioxidant glucosinolates (GS), which was highly affected by environment temperature. To investigate the link of GS biosynthesis with heat stress response in Chinese kale, global transcription profiles of high-GS line (HG), low-GS line (LG), high-GS line under heat stress (HGT) and low-GS line under heat stress (LGT) were analyzed.ResultsBased on three biological replicates of each RNA sequencing data, 3901, 4062 and 2396 differentially expressed genes in HG vs HGT, LG vs LGT and HGT vs LGT were obtained, respectively. GO annotation, KEGG pathway analysis and a comprehensive analysis of DEGs showed a strong correlation between the GS biosynthesis and heat stress response. It was noticed that 11 differentially expressed genes tied to the GS biosynthesis were down-regulated, 23 heat shock transcription factors and 61 heat shock proteins were up-regulated upon the heat treatment. Another two Chinese kale varieties Cuibao and Shunbao with high- and low- GS content respectively, were used to validate the relationship of GS content and heat-response, and the results showed that high-GS content variety were more thermotolerant than the low-GS content one although GS significantly decreased in both varieties under heat stress. In addition, HSP100/ClpB, HSP90, HSP70 and sHSPs were differentially expressed in high- and low-GS varieties. Notably, HSP90 and sHSPs showed an obviously early response to heat stress than other related genes.ConclusionThe higher heat resistance of high-GS Chinese kale and the sharp decrease of glucosinolate content under heat stress indicated a strong relationship of GS accumulation and heat stress response. Combined with the previous report on the low expression of HSP90 at elevated temperatures in GS-deficient mutant TU8 of Arabidopsis, the differential expression pattern of HSP90 in high- and low- GS varieties and its early heat response implied it might be a key regulator in GS metabolism and heat-resistance in Chinese kale.
