Dynamics of leaf transcriptome during cold acclimation in wheat

ABSTRACT: This dataset is associated with two publications 1. Elucidating the biochemical basis of trans-16:1 fatty acid change in leaves during cold acclimation in wheat. http://doi.org/10.1002/pei3.10044 In this study, comparative RNA-seq analyses with leaf tissues undergoing cold acclimation reveal concerted transcriptome shifts indicating a reduced chloroplast lipid pathway activity and increased cytosolic ER membrane lipid synthesis. To explore the underlying metabolic and transcriptional mechanisms responsible for the reduction of the t16:1 under cold, a detailed lipid analysis and comparative transcriptome study were conducted with four wheat cultivars during cold treatment. The RNA-seq dataset includes four wheat cultivars (Manitou, Winter Manitou, Norstar and Spring Norstar) treated with cold paired with control. The data as a whole show that leaf tissues experience a gradual decrease in chloroplast lipid pathway activity and the variation in the decline of chloroplast lipid synthesis in different cultivars manifest in the rate of decrease in t16:1decrease in leaf tissues. Future efforts are required to determine if and how the down regulation of the chloroplast lipid pathway is related to the development of winter hardiness. 2. Computational genomics insights into cold acclimation in wheat. https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2022.1015673 In this study, integrated computational approaches was employed to investigate the transcriptomics and lipidomics data associated with cold acclimation and vernalization in the four wheat genotypes of distinct cold tolerance. Differential expression was investigated between cold treated and control samples and between the winter-habit and spring-habit wheat genotypes. Collectively, 12,676 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Principal component analysis of these DEGs indicated that the first, second, and third principal components (PC1, PC2, and PC3) explained the variance in cold treatment, vernalization and cold hardiness, respectively. Differential expression feature extraction (DEFE) analysis revealed that the winter-habit wheat genotype Norstar had high number of unique DEGs (1884 up and 672 down) and 63 winter-habit genes, which were clearly distinctive from the 64 spring-habit genes based on PC1, PC2 and PC3. Correlation analysis revealed 64 cold hardy genes and 39 anti-hardy genes. Cold acclimation encompasses a wide spectrum of biological processes and the involved genes work cohesively as revealed through network propagation and collective association strength of local subnetworks. Integration of transcriptome and lipidomics data revealed that the winter-habit genes, such as COR413-TM1, CIPKs and MYB20, together with the phosphatidylglycerol lipids, PG(34:3) and PG(36:6), played a pivotal role in cold acclimation and coordinated cohesively associated subnetworks to confer cold tolerance.

Project description:This study compared the photosynthetic performance and the global gene expression of the winter hardy wheat Triticum aestivum cv Norstar grown under non-acclimated (NA) or cold-acclimated (CA) condition at either ambient CO2 or elevated CO2 (EC). CA Norstar maintained comparable light saturated and CO2 saturated rates of photosynthesis but lower quantum requirements for photosystem II and non photochemical quenching relative to NA plants even at EC. Neither NA nor CA plants were sensitive to feedback inhibition of photosynthesis at EC. Global gene expression using microarray combined with bioinformatics analysis revealed that genes affected by EC were 3 times higher in NA (1022 genes) compared to CA (372 genes) Norstar. The most striking effect was the down-regulation of genes involved in the plant defense responses in NA Norstar. In contrast, cold acclimation reversed this down regulation due to the cold induction of genes involved in plant pathogenesis resistance, and cellular and chloroplast protection. These results suggest that EC have less impact on plant performance and productivity in cold adapted winter hardy plants in the northern climates compared to warmer environments. Selection for cereal cultivars with constitutively higher expression of biotic stress defense genes may be necessary under EC during the warm growth period and in warmer climates. Twelve replicate pots with 3 plants per pot were grown at either NA or CA conditions at either ambient or EC. To minimize any possible chamber effects, the 12 replicate pots at each growth condition were distributed between two growth chambers. A total of 3 biological replicates for each condition were used for microarray analyses. Each biological replicate sample was obtained by pooling three whole fully expanded 3rd leaves from different plants harvested randomly. The different biological samples of Norstar winter wheat leaves were ground in dry ice to fine powder and total RNA was extracted with trizol (Invitrogen, Burlington, ON, CA). Total RNA was cleaned using RNeasy plant mini kit (Qiagen) and integrity was determined on agarose gel and on a bioanalyser (Agilent 2100). Synthesized cDNAs were transcribed to cRNAs with the 3M-bM-^@M-^YIVT labelling kit (Santa Clara, CA, USA) and hybridized to the Affymetrix wheat genome array (Santa Clara, Ca, USA) at the McGill University and GM-CM-)nome QuM-CM-)bec Innovation Centre (Montreal, Qc, CA). The experimental design consisted of three biological replicates for each of the four growth conditions, 1: Non-acclimated (NA) at ambient CO2 (AC) (NAAC); 2: Cold-acclimated (CA) at ambient CO2 (AC) (CAAC); 3: Non-acclimated (NA) at elevated CO2 (EC) (NAEC); 4: Cold-acclimated (CA) at elevated CO2 (EC) (CAEC). Thus, a total of 3 biological samples from each of the 4 growth conditions described above were used for hybridizations.
