Comparative transcriptome profiling of chilling stress responsiveness in two contrasting rice genotypes

ABSTRACT: Rice is sensitive to chilling stress, especially at the seedling stage. To elucidate the molecular genetic mechanisms of chilling tolerance in rice, comprehensive gene expressions of two rice genotypes (chilling-tolerant LTH and chilling-sensitive IR29) with contrasting responses to chilling stress were comparatively analyzed. Results revealed distinct global transcription reprogramming between the two rice genotypes under time-series chilling stress and subsequent recovery conditions. A set of genes with higher basal expression were identified in LTH, indicating their possible role in intrinsic tolerance to chilling stress. Under chilling stress, the major effect on gene expression was up-regulation in LTH and strong repression in IR29. Early responses to chilling stress in both genotypes featured commonly up-regulated genes related to transcription regulation and signal transduction, while functional categories for late phase chilling regulated genes were diverse with a wide range of functional adaptations to continuous stress. Following the cessation of chilling treatments, there was quick and efficient reversion of gene expression in LTH, while IR29 displayed considerably slower recovering capacity at the transcriptional level. In addition, the detection of differentially-regulated TF genes and enriched cis-elements demonstrated that multiple regulatory pathways, including CBF and MYBS3 regulons, were involved in chilling stress tolerance. In present study, comprehensive gene expression using an Affymetrix rice genome array revealed a diverse global transcription reprogramming between two rice genotypes under chilling stress and subsequent recovery conditions. The dominant change in gene expression at low temperature was up-regulation in the chilling-tolerant genotype and down-regulation in the chilling-sensitive genotype. Early responses to chilling stress common to both genotypes featured up-regulated genes related to transcription regulation and signal transduction, while functional categories of LR-chilling regulated genes were clearly diverse with a wide range of functional adaptations. At the end of the chilling treatments, there was quick and efficient reversion of gene expression in LTH, while IR29 displayed considerably slower recovery capacity at the transcriptional level. Finally, analysis of differentially-regulated TF genes and enriched cis-elements demonstrated that multiple regulatory pathways, including CBF and MYBS3 regulons, are involved in chilling stress tolerance.

Project description:Chilling stress is a major abiotic stress that affects rice growth and development. Rice seedlings are quite sensitive to chilling stress and this harms global rice production. Comprehensive studies of the molecular mechanisms for response to low temperature are of fundamental importance to chilling tolerance improvement. The number of identified cold regulated genes (CORs) in rice is still very small. Circadian clock is an endogenous timer that enables plants to cope with forever changing surroundings including light–dark cycles imposed by the rotation of the planet. Previous studies have demonstrated that the circadian clock regulates stress tolerances in plants show circadian clock regulation of plant stress tolerances. However, little is known about coordination of the circadian clock in rice chilling tolerance. In this study, we investigated rice responses to chilling stress under conditions with natural light-dark cycles. We demonstrated that chilling stress occurring at nighttime significantly decreased chlorophyll content and photosynthesis efficiency in comparison with that occurring at daytime. Transcriptome analysis characterized novel CORs in indica rice, and suggested that circadian clock obviously interferes with cold effects on key genes in chlorophyll (Chl) biosynthesis pathway and photosynthesis-antenna proteins. Expression profiling revealed that chilling stress during different Zeitberger times (ZTs) at nighttime repressed the expression of those genes involved Chl biosynthesis and photosynthesis, whereas stress during ZTs at daytime increases their expression dramatically. Moreover, marker genes OsDREBs for chilling tolerance were regulated differentially by the chilling stress occurring at different ZTs. The phase and amplitude of oscillation curves of core clock component genes such as OsLHY and OsPRR1 are regulated by chilling stress, suggesting the role of chilling stress as an input signal to the rice circadian clock. Our work revealed impacts of circadian clock on chilling responses in rice, and proved that the effects on the fitness costs are varying with the time in a day when the chilling stress occurs.

Project description:Soil salinity is one of the primary causes of yield decline in rice. Pokkali (Pok) is a highly salt-tolerant landrace whereas IR29, is salt-sensitive but a widely cultivated cultivar. Comparative analysis of these genotypes may offer better understandings of the salinity tolerance mechanism. The published reports largely underscored the importance of transcriptional regulation during salt stress in these genotypes, while, the regulation at translational level is also critically important. Therefore, simultaneous comparison of transcriptional and translational changes between IR29 and Pok could unravel molecular insights into gene regulatory mechanisms that differ between these contrasting genotypes. Using RNA-Seq, we analyzed transcriptome and translatome from the control and salt-exposed Pok and IR29 seedlings. Clear differences were evident both at transcriptional and translational levels between the two genotypes even under control condition. In response to salt stress, 57 DEGs were commonly upregulated both at transcriptional and translational levels in the two genotypes; the number of up/down regulated DEGs in IR29 was comparable at transcriptional and translational levels; whereas in Pok, the number of upregulated DEGs at translational level (544 DEGs) was considerably higher than that at transcriptional level (219 DEGs); contrastingly, the number of downregulated DEGs (58) at translational level was significantly smaller than that at transcriptional level (397 DEGs). We speculate that Pok is more capable of stabilizing mRNA as well as can efficiently load mRNAs on to polysomes for translation under salt stress. Functional analysis showed that Pok is more efficient in maintaining cell wall integrity, detoxifying reactive oxygen species (ROS), translocating molecules and maintaining photosynthesis under salt stress. The present study not only confirmed the known salt stress associated genes, but also identified a number of putative new salt-responsive genes. This study also showed the importance of translational regulation in salt stress and other stresses responsive mechanism.
