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: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:Improvement of chilling tolerance is a key strategy to face potential menace from abnormal temperature in rice production, which depends on the signaling network triggered by receptors. However, little is known about the QTL genes encoding membrane complexes for sensing cold. Here, Chilling-tolerance in Gengdao/japonica rice 1 (COG1) was isolated from a chromosome segment substitution line containing a QTL (qCS11-jap) for chilling sensitivity. The major gene COG1 was found to confer chilling tolerance in japonica rice. In natural rice populations, only the haplogroup1 encoded a functional COG1. Evolutionary analysis showed that COG1 originated from Chinese O. Rufipogon and was fixed in japonica rice during domestication. COG1, a membrane-localized LRR-RLP, targeted and activated the kinase OsSERL2 in a cold-induced manner, promoting chilling tolerance. Furthermore, the cold signal transmitted by COG1-OsSERL2 activates OsMAPK3 in the cytoplasm. Our findings reveal a cold-sensing complex, which mediates signaling network for the chilling defense in rice.

Project description:To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying chilling tolerance in rice, transcriptomic deep sequencing was performed to reveal the differentially expressed genes between chilling tolerance chromosome substitution line (CSL), DC90 and its chilling-sensitive recurrent parent 9311 under early chilling stress events. Our results revealed a set of DEGs with higher basal expression in DC90 by comparison with 9311. They were functionally enriched in GO terms, such as, response to stress, response to stimulus, and response to abiotic stimulus, suggesting their positive role in intrinsic chilling tolerance. Common up-regulated and down-regulated DEGs were enriched in 26 and 34 GO terms, including response to stimulus, response to stress, and response to abiotic stimulus, respectively. Furthermore, comparative transcriptomic analysis between DC90 and 9311 in response to early chilling stress revealed 502 DEGs specifically identified in DC90. Most of gene loci were located beyond introgressed regions, implying that the introgression led to reprogramming of transcriptome in response to early chilling stress. CARMO platform analysis of these DEGs presented a complex regulatory network, including phytohormone signaling, photosynthesis pathway, that coordinately involved in chilling tolerance response of DC90. Here, the unveiled molecular regulatory network shed light on deep understanding the mechanisms of rice chilling tolerance. As well, chilling tolerant-QTLs and co-localized DEGs in introgressed fragments, will be focused for further functional investigation of the molecular mechanisms of early chilling stress response in rice.
