Project description:The salinity gradient separating marine and freshwater environments is a major ecological divide, and the mechanisms by which most organisms adapt to new salinity environments are poorly understood. Diatoms are a lineage of ancestrally marine microalgae that have repeatedly colonized and diversified in freshwaters. Cyclotella cryptica is a euryhaline diatom that naturally tolerates a broad range of salinities, thus providing a powerful system for understanding the genomic mechanisms for mitigating and acclimating to low salinity. To understand how diatoms mitigate acute hypoosmotic stress, we abruptly shifted C. cryptica from seawater to freshwater and performed transcriptional profiling at 8 time points across 10 hours. We found substantial remodeling of the transcriptome, with over half of the genome differentially expressed in at least one time point. The peak response occurred within 1 hour, with strong repression of genes involved in functions related to cell growth and osmolyte production, and strong induction of genes implicated in stress defense such as scavenging reactive oxygen species and maintaining osmotic balance. Notably, transcripts largely returned to baseline levels within 4–10 hours, with growth resuming shortly thereafter, suggesting that gene expression dynamics may be useful for predicting acclimation. Moreover, comparison to a study of expression profiling following months-long acclimation of C. cryptica to freshwater revealed little overlap between the genes and processes differentially expressed in cells exposed to acute stress versus fully acclimated conditions. Altogether, this study highlights the power of time-resolved transcriptomics to reveal fundamental insights into how cells dynamically respond to an acute environmental shift and provides new insights into how diatoms mitigate natural salinity fluctuations and have successfully diversified across freshwater habitats worldwide.

Project description:Three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) represents a convenient model to study microevolution - adaptation to freshwater environment. While genetic adaptations to freshwater are well-studied, epigenetic adaptations attracted little attention. In this work, we investigated the role of DNA methylation in the adaptation of marine stickleback population to freshwater conditions. DNA methylation profiling was performed in marine and freshwater populations of sticklebacks, as well as in marine sticklebacks placed into freshwater environment and freshwater sticklebacks placed into seawater. For the first time, we demonstrated that genes encoding ion channels kcnd3, cacna1fb, gja3 are differentially methylated between marine and freshwater populations. We also showed that after placing marine stickleback into fresh water, its DNA methylation profile partially converges to the one of a freshwater stickleback. This suggests that immediate epigenetic response to freshwater conditions can be maintained in freshwater population. Interestingly, we observed enhanced epigenetic plasticity in freshwater sticklebacks that may serve as a compensatory regulatory mechanism for the lack of genetic variation in the freshwater population. Some of the regions that were reported previously to be under selection in freshwater populations also show differential methylation. Thus, epigenetic changes might represent a parallel mechanism of adaptation along with genetic selection in freshwater environment. This is the RNA-seq experiment, DNA methylation data (bisulfite-seq) is provided under accession number GSE82310.

Project description:In order to identify gene expression difference between marine and freshwater stickleback populations, we compared the transcriptomes of seven adult tissues (eye, gill, heart, hypothalumus, liver, pectoral muscle, telencephalon) between a marine population sampled from the mouth of the Little Campbell river in British Columbia (LITC) and a freshwater population (Fishtrap Creek, FTC) from northern Washington. For each population, the sampled individuals were the lab-reared progeny of a single pair of wild-caught parents. Four to five fish from each population were used as biological replicates for each of the seven tissues. For each population, the sampled individuals were the lab-reared progeny of a single pair of wild-caught parents. All fish were of similar age and were raised in the same aquarium (salinity: 3.5 ppt), with a plastic divider separating the marine and freshwater groups. One male and four females were sampled from each population. Microarray experiments were performed in a 2-color format on custom Agilent arrays: experimental RNA samples were labeled with Cy5, and the common reference RNA sample was labeled with Cy3. The reference RNA was total RNA isolated from a large number of 7-day-post-hatch embryos from the freshwater population of Bear Paw Lake, Alaska (BEPA). One technical replicate was used for each array, and one of the hypothalamus samples (Hyp_FTC#3) was excluded from further analysis due to poor quality indicators. FTC#1 liver and LITC#2 pectoral muscle samples did not yield RNA of sufficient quality for the microarray experiment, and were also excluded from hybridization.

Project description:Maider J. Echeveste Medrano and colleagues characterized the physiological and metabolic response of freshwater methanotrophic archaea to salt stress. The study performed metaproteomics, gene expression profiles and dedicated metabolomics to identify the pathways involved in the salt stress response and the osmolyte present in anaerobic methanotrophic archaea.

Project description:Environmental variation along the geographical space can shape populations by natural selection. In the context of global warming and changing precipitation regimes, it is crucial to understand the role of environmental heterogeneity in tropical trees adaptation, given their disproportional contribution to water and carbon biogeochemical cycles. Here, we investigated how heterogeneity in freshwater availability along tropical wetlands has influenced molecular variations of the black mangrove (Avicennia germinans). A total of 57 trees were sampled at seven sites differing markedly in precipitation regime and riverine freshwater inputs. Using 2,297 genome‐wide single nucleotide polymorphic markers, we found signatures of natural selection by the association between variations in allele frequencies and environmental variables, including the precipitation of the warmest quarter and the annual precipitation. Additionally, we found candidate loci for selection based on statistical deviations from neutral expectations of interpopulation differentiation. Most candidate loci within transcribed sequences were functionally associated with central aspects of drought tolerance or plant response to drought. Moreover, our results suggest the occurrence of the rapid evolution of a population, probably in response to sudden and persistent limitations in plant access to soil water, following a road construction in 1974. Observations supporting rapid evolution included the reduction in tree size and changes in allele frequencies and in transcript expression associated with increased drought tolerance through the accumulation of osmoprotectants and antioxidants, biosynthesis of cuticles, protection against protein degradation, stomatal closure, photorespiration and photosynthesis. We describe a major role of spatial heterogeneity in freshwater availability in the specialization of this typically tropical tree.
