ZmNF-YA1 contributes to maize thermotolerance by regulating heat shock response

ABSTRACT: Maize is a staple food, feed, and industrial crop. Heat stress (HS) is one of the major stresses affecting maize production and is usually accompanied by other stresses, such as drought. Our previous study identified a heterotrimer complex, ZmNF-YA1-YB16-YC17, in maize. ZmNF-YA1 and ZmNF-YB16 were positive regulators of the drought stress response and were involved in maize root development. In this study, we investigated whether ZmNF-YA1 confers HS tolerance in maize. The ZmNF-YA1 mutant and overexpression lines were used to test the role of ZmNF-YA1 in maize thermotolerance. The ZmNF-YA1 mutant was more temperature-sensitive than the WT, while the ZmNF-YA1 overexpression lines showed a thermotolerant phenotype. Higher malondialdehyde content and reactive oxygen species accumulation were observed in the mutant, followed by WT and overexpression lines after HS treatment, while an opposite trend was observed for chlorophyll content. RNA-seq was used to analyze transcriptome changes in W22 and nf-ya1 plants in response to HS at great depths. Based on their expression profiles, the HS response-related differentially expressed genes in nf-ya1 and W22 were grouped into seven clusters via k-means clustering. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of Clade 1, in which ZmNF-YA1 and HS induced, GO terms for protein refolding and protein stabilization, and terms for various stress responses were considerably enriched. Thus, the contribution of ZmNF-YA1 to protein stabilization, refolding, and regulation of ABA, ROS, and heat/temperature signaling may be the major reason why ZmNF-YA1 overexpression enhanced heat tolerance, and the mutant showed a heat-sensitive phenotype.

ZmNF-YB16-YC17-YA1 complex participates in the regulation of plant growth and drought resistance in maize

Project description:This was a comparative transcriptome analysis by using high throughput sequencing. To assess the effects of drought stress and NF-Y transcription factors ZmNF-YA1 and ZmNF-YB16 on maize, leaves from wild-type (W22), zmnf-ya1 (m67) mutant, wild-type (B104) and ZmNF-YB16 overexpression (OE) plants grow under well-watered and drought stress conditions were collected and RNAseq was performed. We tracked the gene expression events of inbred maize lines W22 or B104 seedlings in response to drought stress to evaluate how drought stress affects the gene expression program in maize. At the same time, we analyzed the effects of drought stress on gene expression in zmnf-ya1 and ZmNF-YB16 OE plants to investigate whether and how ZmNF-YA1 and ZmNF-YB16 confer drought stress tolerance in maize. Maize plants were grown under well-watered conditions until the V4 stage (zmnf-ya1 and W22) or V9 stage (ZmNF-YB16 OE and B104), and then half of them were exposed to drought stress treatment. Water loss in the soil and the electrolyte leakage from leaf cells were used to assess drought stress in plants. Leaves from 3-4 plants were pooled for each sample, and two replicates were used. RNA was extracted from small strips of leaf lamina excised from the first fully expanded leaf of the plants.

Stress-induced nuclear translocation of transcription factor ONAC023 improves drought and heat tolerance through integrated regulation of multiple processes in rice

Project description:Drought and heat are major abiotic stresses frequently coinciding to threaten rice production. Although hundreds of stress-related genes have been identified in the past two decades, very few genes have been confirmed to confer resistance to multiple stresses in crops. Here we report ONAC023, identified through NAC-centered gene regulatory network and genetic association analyses, is a hub stress-regulator that integrates the regulations of both drought and heat tolerance in rice. The loss-of-function mutant of ONAC023 showed significantly increased sensitivity to drought and heat stresses, whereas the overexpression of ONAC023 confers drought and heat tolerance at both seedling and reproductive stages. Notably, drought and heat stresses activated the function of ONAC023 not only by the induction of ONAC023 transcript but also by the nuclear accumulation of ONAC023 protein through a remorin-importin-α-assisted translocation. Under drought or heat stress, ONAC023 can directly target and promote the expression of functionally diverse downstream genes, such as OsPIP2;7, PGL3, OsFKBP20-1b, and OsSF3B1, which are involved in various stress-responsive processes including water transport, reactive oxygen species homeostasis, and alternative splicing (AS). Furthermore, genome-wide AS profiling revealed that the loss of ONAC023 function led to alternation of the encoding outcomes of thousands of AS transcripts under drought and heat stresses. These results manifested that ONAC023 is fine tuned to positively regulate drought and heat tolerance through the integration of multiple stress-responsive processes. Our findings provide not only an underlying connection between drought and heat responses, but also a promising candidate for engineering multi-stress-resilient rice.

Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis plants with high or low ZmDREB2A expression to investigate stress responses

Project description:ZmDREB2A is a DREB2-type transcription factor cloned from maize, whose transcript was upregulated by drought, high salt, low temperature and heat stresses. The ZmDREB2A gene possesses two kinds of transcription forms by alternative splicing. Only the functional form was studied to be highly induced by stresses. Transgenic plants overexpressing ZmDREB2A (35S:ZmDREB2A) showed dwarfism and enhanced drought stress tolerance. Microarray analysis of two independent transgenic plants revealed that in addition to genes encoding LEA proteins, some genes related to heat shock and detoxification were also upregulated. Experiments on termotolerance tests of these transgenic plants showed overexpressing ZmDREB2A gene also improved plant tolerance to heat stress.

The transcription factor bZIP60 links the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) to the Heat Stress Response (HSR) in maize

Project description:This was a comparative transcriptome analysis by using high throughput sequencing. To assess the effects of heat stress on maize we used a controlled environment facility called the Enviratron to simulate field conditions. For our experiments, maize plants were subjected to conditions simulating normal diurnal rhythms of light and temperature, with increasing maximal daily temperature (MDT). Maize plants were grown continuously under four different temperature regimes with simulated morning temperatures ramped up over 6 hr to the MDT of 31°C, 33°C, 35°C or 37°C and simulated evening/night time temperatures ramped down over 8 hr to 10°C below the MDT. We tracked the gene expression events of maize W22 seedlings grow under different temperatures (MDT of 31°C, 33°C, 35°C or 37°C) to evaluate how different MDTs affect the program of gene expression in maize. At the same time, we analyzed the effects of temperature on gene expression in bzip60-2 and W22 V4 plants (20 DAG) and V5 plants (27 DAG) in the Enviratron as the temperature reached its MDT to investigate whether and how bZIP60 confers heat stress tolerance in maize. RNA was extracted from small strips of leaf lamina excised from the first fully expanded leaf of V4 and V5 W22 plants (at 20 and 27 DAG, respectively). Plants were sampled in triplicates.

Heat-Resistant Inbred Lines Coordinate the Heat Response Genes Expression Remarkably in Maize

Project description:High temperature is increasingly becoming one of the prominent environmental factors affecting the growth and development of maize (Zea mays L.). Therefore, it is critical to identify key genes and pathways related to heat stress (HS) tolerance in maize. Here, we identified a heat-resistant (Z58D) and heat-sensitive (AF171) maize inbred lines at seedling stage. Transcriptomic analysis identified 3,006 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in AF171 and 4,273 DEGs in Z58D under HS treatments, respectively. Subsequently, GO enrichment analysis showed that shared upregulated genes in AF171 and Z58D involved in response to HS, protein folding, abiotic and temperature stimulus pathway. Moreover, the comparison between the two inbred lines under HS showed that response to heat and response to temperature stimulus significantly overrepresented for the 1,234 upregulated genes. Furthermore, commonly upregulated genes in Z58D and AF171 had higher expression level in Z58D than AF171. In addition, maize inbred CIMBL55 had been verified to be more tolerant than B73 and commonly upregulated genes had higher expression level in CIMBL55 than B73 under HS. The consistent results indicated that heat-resistant inbred lines may coordinate the remarkable expression of genes in order to recover from HS. Additionally, 35 DEGs were conserved among 5 inbred lines by a comparative transcriptomic analysis. Most of them were more pronounced in Z58D than AF171 at expression level. Those candidate genes may confer thermotolerance in maize.

The composition and function of chaperone networks in Solanum lycopersicum explored by transcriptome sequencing and microarray meta-analysis

Project description:Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are molecular chaperones primarily involved in maintenance of protein homeostasis. Their function has been best characterized in heat stress (HS) response during which Hsps are transcriptionally controlled by heat stress transcription factors (Hsfs). The role of Hsfs and Hsps in HS-response in tomato was initially examined by transcriptome analysis using the Massive Analysis of cDNA Ends (MACE) method. Approximately 9.6% of all genes expressed in leaves are enhanced in response to HS, including a subset of Hsfs and Hsps. The underlying Hsp-Hsf networks with potential functions in stress responses or developmental processes were further explored by meta-analysis of existing microarray datasets. We identified clusters with differential transcript profiles with respect to abiotic stresses, plant organs and developmental stages. The composition of two clusters points toward two major chaperone networks. One cluster consisted of constitutively expressed plastidial chaperones and other genes involved in chloroplast protein homeostasis. The second cluster represents genes strongly induced by heat, drought and salinity stress, including HsfA2 and many stress-inducible chaperones, but also potential targets of HsfA2 not related to protein homeostasis. This observation attributes a central regulatory role to HsfA2 in controlling different aspects of abiotic stress response and tolerance in tomato. 2 samples

Overexpression of transcriptional factors Kin28 and Pog1 suppresses the stress sensitivity caused by the rsp5 mutation

Project description:Rsp5 is an essential and multi-functional E3 ubiquitin ligase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We previously isolated the Ala401Glu rsp5 mutant, which is hypersensitive to various stresses. To understand the function of Rsp5 in stress responses, suppressor genes whose overexpression allows rsp5A401E cells to grow at high temperature were screened. The KIN28 and POG1 genes, encoding a subunit of the transcription factor TFIIH and a putative transcriptional activator, respectively, were identified as multicopy suppressors of not only high temperature but also LiCl stresses. The overexpression of Kin28 and Pog1 in rsp5A401E cells caused an increase in the transcriptional level of some stress proteins when exposed to temperature up-shift. DNA microarray analysis under LiCl stress revealed that the transcriptional level of some proteasome components was increased in rsp5A401E cells overexpressing Kin28 or Pog1. These results suggest that the overexpression of Kin28 and Pog1 enhances the protein refolding and degradation pathways in rsp5A401E cells. Keywords: mutant analysis, stress response

MicroRNA profiles in leaves of Sorghum exposed to drought or heat or their combination

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are part of gene regulatory networks that direct all most all biological processes in plants including their growth and development, as well as adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses. Sorghum is largely grown for its grain production, but recently it also emerged a major feedstock for biofuel production. Interestingly, Sorghum is relatively drought tolerant crop and largely grown in semi-arid tropical and sub-tropical regions where the drought or high temperature or their combination co-occur in the field. Although miRNA profiles have been reported in Sorghum leaves exposed to drought, but thus far miRNAs in heat- or drought and heat-exposed conditions have not been reported. In this study, we report miRNA profiles in Sorghum leaves exposed to drought or heat or their combination. The bioinformatic analysis of small RNA libraries revealed the expression of approximately 30 conserved miRNA families represented by 81 individual miRNAs as well as 11 novel miRNA families in Sorghum leaves. Of these, 26 miRNAs were found to be differentially regulated in response to one or more of the stress treatments. Overall, the number of miRNAs regulated by heat was more than the drought. Furthermore, miRNA profiles revealed more similarities between heat and the combination of drought and heat stresses. We also have analyzed degradome profiles in control and drought-exposed plants to identify potential targets for the miRNAs. This study provides a frame work for better understanding of miRNA-guided gene regulations that vary between individual drought or heat or combination of drought and heat treatments.
