Project description:Geographically distinct populations can adapt to the temperature conditions of their local environment, leading to temperature-dependent fitness differences between populations. Consistent with local adaptation, phylogeographically distinct Caenorhabditis briggsae nematodes show distinct fitness responses to temperature. The genetic mechanisms underlying local adaptation, however, remain unresolved. To investigate the potential role of small noncoding RNAs in genotype-specific responses to temperature, we quantified small RNA expression using high-throughput sequencing of C. briggsae nematodes from tropical and temperate strain genotypes reared under three temperature conditions (14˚, 20˚, 30˚C). Strains representing both tropical and temperate regions showed significantly lower expression of PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) at high temperatures, primarily mapping to a large ~7 Mb long piRNA cluster on chromosome IV. We also documented decreased expression of 22G-RNAs antisense to protein-coding genes and other genomic features at high rearing temperatures for the thermally-intolerant temperate strain genotype, but not for the tropical strain genotype. Reduced 22G-RNA expression was widespread along chromosomes and among feature types, indicative of a genome-wide response. Targets of the EGO-1/CSR-1 22G-RNA pathway were most strongly impacted compared to other 22G-RNA pathways, implicating the CSR-1 Argonaute and its RNA-dependent RNA polymerase EGO-1 in the genotype-dependent modulation of C. briggsae 22G-RNAs under chronic thermal stress. Our work suggests that gene regulation via small RNAs may be an important contributor to the evolution of local adaptations.
Project description:Previous studies have demonstrated that the iron content in marine heterotrophic bacteria is comparatively higher than that of phytoplankton. Therefore, they have been indicated to play a major role in the biogeochemical cycling of iron. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential of viral lysis as a source of iron for marine heterotrophic bacteria. Viral lysates were derived from the marine heterotrophic bacterium, Vibrio natriegens PWH3a (A.K.A Vibrio alginolyticus). The bioavailability of Fe in the lysates was determined using a model heterotrophic bacterium, namely, Dokdonia sp. strain Dokd-P16, isolated from Fe-limited waters along Line P transect in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean. The bacteria were grown under Fe-deplete or Fe-replete conditions before being exposed to the viral lysate. Differential gene expression following exposure to the viral lysate was analyzed via RNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes under iron-replete and iron-deplete conditions. This study would provide novel insights into the role of viral lysis in heterotrophic bacteria in supplying bioavailable iron to other marine microorganisms under iron-limiting and non-limiting conditions. First, the marine heterotrophic bacterium genome, Dokdonia sp. strain Dokd-P16, was sequenced to provide a genomic context for the expression studies. Subsequently, the relative gene expression in Dokdonia sp. strain Dokd-P16 grown under Fe limiting and non-limiting conditions were analyzed. This transcriptomic approach would be utilized to elucidate genes regulated by Fe availability in Dokdonia sp. strain Dokd-P16, which indicate its Fe-related response viral lysate exposure. Taken together, in this study, the transcriptomic responses of Fe-limited and non-limited marine heterotrophic bacteria were analyzed, which provided novel insights into the biological availability of Fe from the viral lysates.

Project description:affy_hypoctemp_medicago - The characterization of several genotypes of the model Legume Medicago truncatula showed a genetic variability for germination and hypocotyl heterotrophic growth at low temperature and optimal temperature. The most important contrast was between the accessions Jemalong A17 and F83005.5. In order to find genes differently expressed between temperatures and genotypes, the present work focuses on transcriptome profiling during hypocotyl heterotrophic growth under low (10°C) and optimal (20°C) temperature conditions for both genotypes. We used Jemalong A17 and F83005.5 seeds coming from the Medicago truncatula Biological Resource Center in Montpellier, produced in 2006. Experiments were performed in the dark to mimic pre-emergence growth. Pots (6.5 cm diameter, 10 cm high) were incubated in growth chambers either at 10°C or 20°C. They were filled with 500g sand and 100ml of a nutrient solution for young seedlings growth (Saglio and Pradet, 1980). Per pot, five scarified seeds were sown at 1.5 cm depth. Seedlings were harvested at three times: 35°Cd (degree day), 50°Cd and 100°Cd. At each timepoint, about 50 seedlings were harvested and hypocotyl lengths was measured. Hypocotyl were cut and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen for RNA extractions.
