Small RNA, transcriptome and degradome analysis of the transgenerational heat stress response network in durum wheat

ABSTRACT: Heat stress is a major limiting factor for grain yield and grain quality in wheat production. In crops, abiotic stresses have transgenerational effects and the mechanistic basis of stress memory is associated with epigenetic regulation. The current study presents the first systematic analysis of the transgenerational effects of post-anthesis heat stress in tetraploid wheat. Genotype-dependent response patterns to parental and progeny heat stress were found for the leaf physiological traits, harvest components, and grain quality traits measured. Parental heat stress had positive influence on the offspring under re-occurring stress for traits like chlorophyll content, grain weight, grain number and grain total starch content. Integrated sequencing analysis of the small RNAome, mRNA transcriptome, and mRNA degradome provided the first description of the molecular networks mediating heat stress adaption under transgenerational influence. The expression profile of 1771 microRNAs (733 being novel) and 66,559 genes was provided, with differentially expressed microRNAs and genes identified subject to the progeny treatment, parental treatment and tissue type factors. Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway annotation of stress responsive microRNAs-mRNA modules provided further information on their functional roles in biological processes like hormone homeostasis, signal transduction, and protein stabilization. Our results provide new sights on the molecular basis of transgenerational heat stress adaptation, which can be used for improving thermos-tolerance in breeding.

Project description:Effects of heat priming applied to the first generation on tolerance of the successive generation to post-anthesis high temperature stress were investigated. Compared with the progeny of non-heat primed plants (NH), the progeny of heat-primed plants (PH) presented higher grain yield, leaf photosynthesis and activities of antioxidant enzymes and lower cell membrane damage under high temperature stress. In the transcriptome profile, 1430 probes showed obvious difference in expression between PH and NH. These genes were those of signal transduction, transcription, energy, defense, and protein destination and storage, respectively. Pot experiments (25 cm in diameter and 22 cm in depth) were conducted at the Experimental Station of Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing, China (32Ë30Ê¹N and 118Ë42Ê¹E). During the first generation, wheat plants were divided into two groups: one group were not primed (N) while the other were heat-primed (P) at pre-anthesis (at a day/night temperature of 32/28ËC for two days at the seven-leaf stage and the nine-leaf stage) and post-anthesis (34/30ËC for seven days at the 10th day after anthesis). At maturity, seeds from both groups were harvested. Seedlings (the progeny generation) from each group seed were further divided two sub-groups: one was subjected to high temperature stress at a day/night temperature of 34/30ËC, while the other was set at 26/22ËC for six days from the 10th day after anthesis (DAA). During both priming and high-temperature stress, plants under different treatments were moved into sepatarate growth chambers at preset temperatures. Thereafter, four treatments were established: NC, progeny of non-primed plants without post-anthesis high temperature stress; NH, progeny of non-primed plants with post-anthesis high temperature stress; PC, progeny of primed plants without post-anthesis high temperature stress; and PH, progeny of primed plants with post-anthesis high temperature stress.
