Comparison of Gene Expression Changes in Three Wheat Varieties with Different Susceptibilities to Heat Stress Using RNA-Seq Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Wheat is highly susceptible to heat stress, which significantly reduces grain yield. In this study, we used RNA-seq technology to analyze the transcript expression at three different time-points after heat treatment in three cultivars differing in their susceptibility to heat stress: Jopum, Keumkang, and Olgeuru. A total of 11,751, 8850, and 14,711; 10,959, 7946, and 14,205; and 22,895, 13,060, and 19,408 differentially-expressed genes (log2 fold-change > 1 and FDR (padj) < 0.05) were identified in Jopum, Keumkang, and Olgeuru in the control vs. 6-h, in the control vs. 12-h, and in the 6-h vs. 12-h heat treatment, respectively. Functional enrichment analysis showed that the biological processes for DEGs, such as the cellular response to heat and oxidative stress—and including the removal of superoxide radicals and the positive regulation of superoxide dismutase activity—were significantly enriched among the three comparisons in all three cultivars. Furthermore, we investigated the differential expression patterns of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging enzymes, heat shock proteins, and heat-stress transcription factors using qRT-PCR to confirm the differences in gene expression among the three varieties under heat stress. This study contributes to a better understanding of the wheat heat-stress response at the early growth stage and the varietal differences in heat tolerance.

Project description:Transcriptome deep sequencing is a powerful tool for exploring the genetic architecture of complex traits. Gene expression patterns may explain a high degree of the observed phenotypic differences in histochemical and metabolic parameters related to meat quality among different muscles. In this study, we sequenced by RNA-Seq the whole transcriptome of nine lamb muscles: Semimembranosus (SM), Semitendinosus (ST), Cranial gluteobiceps, Gluteus medius (GM), Rectus femoris, Supraspinatus (SS), Longissimus lumborum (LL), Adductor and Psoas major. Significant gene expression differences were detected between almost all pairwise comparisons, being more pronounced between SS and ST, SM and LL, and ST and GM. These differences can be explained in terms of ATPase and glycolytic activities, muscle fiber typing and oxidative score, clustering muscles as fast glycolytic, intermediate or slow oxidative. ST showed up-regulation of gene pathways related to carbohydrate metabolism, energy generation and protein turnover as expected from a fast white muscle. SS showed myosin isoforms typical of slow muscles and high expression of genes related to calcium homeostasis and vascularization. SM, LL and GM showed in general intermediate gene expression patterns. Several novel transcripts were detected, mostly related to muscle contraction and structure, oxidative metabolism, lipid metabolism and protein phosphorylation. Expression profiles were consistent with previous histochemical and metabolic characterization of these muscles. Up-regulation of ion transport genes may account for significant differences in water holding capacity. High expression of genes related to cell adhesion, cytoskeleton organization, extracellular matrix components and protein phosphorylation may be related to meat yellowness and lower tenderness scores. Differential expression of genes related to glycolytic activity and lactic acid generation among fast, intermediate and slow muscles may explain the detected final meat pH differences. These results reveal new candidate genes associated with lamb meat quality, and give a deeper insight into the genetic architecture of these complex traits.
