Diel and circadian gating of Arabidopsis thermotolerance and transcriptional response to heat stress.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To understand time of day variation in Arabidopsis heat shock responses. We have observed significant differences in terms of plant survivability in response to a heat shock across various times of day. Because of this, we believe that transcriptional responses may be a significant underlying factor which contributes to the observed physiology and surivability after heat stress. Methods: Whole plant tissue mRNA profiles in Col-0 Arabidopsis were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2500. Tissue samples of four replicates were collected at two times of day (Dawn and Dusk, ZT0/ZT12) and were either control or heat stressed (30oC) for 1 hour. An additional 4 samples were collected in constant light conditions (single replicate) to quantify circadian effects. Sequence reads from each sample were mapped to the TAIR10 reference genome with Tophat2 and counts were obtained using Htseq-count. Differential expression analysis was done using DeSeq2 to calculate differential expression levels of each gene in the dataset. Results: We identified 5512 differentially expressed transcripts with our DESeq2 based data analysis pipeline that involves characterizing gene expression profiles based on basal expression level, time of differential expression, and direction of differential expression. An additional interaction term analysis revealed 572 genes which showe time of day dependent responses to heat stress, meaning the response to heat stress differs depending on the time of day that the heat stress is perceived by the plant. Downstream analysis using gene ontology analysis tools (Pantherdb.org) and Cytoscape revealed strong differences in terms of response happening in the AM and PM gene expression networks. The significance of this work is that it is the first study to show that there is a significant difference in terms of transcriptional responses to heat stress in Arabidopsis where the differences were quantified by levels of mRNA expression.

Project description:Considering global climate changes, incidences of combined drought and heat stress are likely to increase in the future and will considerably influence plant-pathogen interactions. Until now, little is known about plants exposed to simultaneously occurring abiotic and biotic stresses. To shed some light on molecular plant responses to multiple stress factors, a versatile multi-factorial test system, allowing simultaneous application of heat, drought and virus stress, was developed. Comparative analysis of single, double and triple stress responses by transcriptome and metabolome analysis revealed that gene expression under multi-factorial stress is not predictable from single stress treatments. Hierarchical cluster and principal component analysis identified heat as the major stress factor clearly separating heat-stressed from non-heat stressed plants. We identified 11 genes differentially regulated in all stress combinations as well as 23 genes specifically-regulated under triple stress. Furthermore, we showed that virus treated plants displayed enhanced expression of defense genes, which was abolished in plants additionally subjected to heat and drought stress. Triple stress also reduced expression of genes involved in the R-mediated disease response and increased the cytoplasmic protein response which was not seen under single stress conditions. These observations suggested that abiotic stress factors significantly altered TuMV-specific signaling networks which lead to a deactivation of defense responses and a higher susceptibility of plants. Collectively, our transcriptome and metabolome data provide a powerful resource to study plant responses during multi-factorial stress and allows identifying metabolic processes and functional networks involved in tripartite interactions of plants with their environment. Stress induced gene expression in Arabidopsis leaves was measured after exposure to single and combined abiotic and biotic stress. Plants were grown on soil for 21 days till virus infection. Eight days later controlled drought stress was applied. At the end of the treatments heat was applied for three days. Four biological replicates have been hybridized for each treatment. Furthermore, Arabidopsis plants were exposed to a single severe heat stress (37Â°C day/33Â°C night) to mimic the severity of the triple stress experiment.

In parallel, a homozougus T-DNA insertion line SALK_021115C (N672283), located in the Arabidopsis gene At5g45000 has been exposed to the same stress conditions. Four biological replicates have been hybridized for each treatment.
