Project description:Drought is considered as a threat to the sustainability of Mediterranean forests and, of the agro-silvo-pastoral “dehesa” system. Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) is one of the most representative species of these ecosystems and this abiotic stress causes a high tree mortality rate, being more accused at the seedling stage. In this study, an integrative analysis of transcriptome and proteome in leaves of Q. ilex seedlings under drought conditions was carried out to identify gene products involved in the metabolic pathways related to drought tolerant mechanisms.

Project description:ATH1 GeneChip was used for gene expression analysis of wild-type plants and dor mutant under drought treatment (both the wild-type and dor plants were grown under normal watering conditions for 24 days and then stressed by completely depriving of irrigation for 10 days). Two biological repeat experiments were conducted and the raw data was analyzed applying Affymetrix GCOS software. Experiment Overall Design: ATH1 GeneChip was used for gene expression analysis of wild-type plants and dor mutant under drought treatment (both the wild-type and dor plants were grown under normal watering conditions for 24 days and then stressed by completely depriving of irrigation for 10 days).

Project description:Applying a gel-based proteomic approach, the dynamic changes in root proteins of drought treated Quercus ilex subsp. Ballota [Desf.] Samp. seedlings were followed. Water stress was applied on 20 day-old holm oak plantlets by water limitation for a period of 10 and 20 days, each followed by 10 days of recovery. Root proteins were extracted using trichloroacetate/acetone/phenol protocol and subjected to two-dimensional electrophoresis. Coomassie colloidal stained gel images were analysed and spot intensity data subjected to multivariate statistical analysis. Selected consistent spots in the three biological replicas, presenting significant changes under stress, were subjected to MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (peptide mass fingerprinting and MS/MS). For protein identification, combined search was performed with MASCOT search engine over NCBInr Viridiplantae and Uniprot databases. Taxonomy Holm oak (Quercus ilex subsp. Ballota [Desf.] Samp.).

Project description:Illumina HiSeq technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from mycorrhizal Quercus robur roots. Tuber melanosporum, T. aestivum and T.magnatum mycorrhizal root tips were harvested and used for RNA extraction. Paired-end reads of 100 bp were generated and aligned to Quercus robur CDS using CLC Genomics Workbench 9.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Hybridization and introgression are common phenomena among oak species. These processes can be beneficial by introducing favorable genetic variants across species (adaptive introgression). Given that drought is an important stress, impacting physiological and morphological variation and limiting distributions, our goal was to identify drought-related genes that might exhibit patterns of introgression influenced by natural selection. Using RNAseq, we sequenced whole transcriptomes of 24 individuals from three oaks in southern California: (Quercus engelmannii, Quercus berberidifolia, Quercus cornelius-mulleri) and identified genetic variants to estimate admixture rates of all variants and those in drought genes. RESULTS:We found 398,042 variants across all loci and 4352 variants in 139 drought candidate genes. STRUCTURE analysis of all variants revealed the majority of our samples were assignable to a single species, but with several highly admixed individuals. When using drought-associated variants, the same individuals exhibited less admixture and their allele frequencies were more polarized between Engelmann and scrub oaks than when using the total gene set. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that selection may act differently on functional genes, such as drought-associated genes, and point to candidate genes that are suggestive of divergent selection among species maintaining adaptive differences. For example, the drought genes that showed the strongest bias against engelmannii-fixed oak variants in scrub oaks were related to sugar transporter, coumarate-coA ligases, glutathione S-conjugation, and stress response. CONCLUSION:This pilot study illustrates that whole transcriptomes of individuals will provide useful data for identifying functional genes that contribute to adaptive divergence among hybridizing species.

Project description:Biotic and abiotic stresses are predicted to be the main drivers of forest tree decline and mortality in a climatic change scenario. It occurs, for example, in Quercus ilex, the main component of the Mediterranean forest, becoming a major environmental, economic and social concern. The decline syndrome is the result of factors interrelated in time and space. Breeding, through variability and elite genotype selection, is the only plausible strategy for forest management and conservation in nondomesticated, orphan species as is the case of the genus Quercus. By using a shotgun proteomics approach, the effect and the responses to combined drought stress and pathogen (Phytophthora cinnamomi) have been analyzed in two Holm oak populations with contrasting responses to each individual stress. Proteomics data are correlated with that of plant survival, damage symptoms, leaf chemical composition and physiological phenotypes (water content and photosynthetic activity). Changes in the protein profile depended on the population, stress, and time, with some consistent upaccumulated proteins related to synthesis, primary and secondary metabolism, and cell wall are discussed.

Project description:Background and aimsThe interaction between forest fragmentation and predicted climate change may pose a serious threat to tree populations. In small and spatially isolated forest fragments, increased homozygosity may directly affect individual tree fitness through the expression of deleterious alleles. Climate change-induced drought stress may exacerbate these detrimental genetic consequences of forest fragmentation, as the fitness response to low levels of individual heterozygosity is generally thought to be stronger under environmental stress than under optimal conditions.MethodsTo test this hypothesis, a greenhouse experiment was performed in which various transpiration and growth traits of 6-month-old seedlings of Quercus robur differing in multilocus heterozygosity (MLH) were recorded for 3 months under a well-watered and a drought stress treatment. Heterozygosity-fitness correlations (HFC) were examined by correlating the recorded traits of individual seedlings to their MLH and by studying their response to drought stress.Key resultsWeak, but significant, effects of MLH on several fitness traits were obtained, which were stronger for transpiration variables than for the recorded growth traits. High atmospheric stress (measured as vapour pressure deficit) influenced the strength of the HFCs of the transpiration variables, whereas only a limited effect of the irrigation treatment on the HFCs was observed.ConclusionsUnder ongoing climate change, increased atmospheric stress in the future may strengthen the negative fitness responses of trees to low MLH. This indicates the necessity to maximize individual multilocus heterozygosity in forest tree breeding programmes.
