Project description:Transcriptional responses to heat stress were assayed in early life-history stages of 11 crosses between and amongst Acropora tenuis colonies originating from reefs along the Great Barrier Reef. We identified a single nucleotide polymorphism outlier (Fst=0.89) between populations in the unannotated gene Acropora25324, which exhibited constitutively higher gene expression in populations with dams originating from Curd reef, a far north, warm adapted inshore reef, suggesting an important role of this gene in adaptation to warmer environments. Further, juveniles exposed to heat and in symbiosis with heat-evolved Symbiodiniaceae displayed intermediate transcriptional responses between its progenitor taxa (Cladocopium goreaui) and the more stress tolerant Durusdinium trenchii, indicating that the development of heat tolerance acquisition is potentially a conserved evolutionary process in Symbiodiniaceae. These findings reveal the underlying mechanisms, and for the first time, their relative contribution, of coral responses to climate change and provide a foundation for optimizing conservation methods like assistant gene flow.

Project description:Coral reefs are based on the symbiotic relationship between corals and photosynthetic dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium. We followed gene expression of coral larvae of Acropora palmata and Montastraea faveolata after exposure to Symbiodinium strains that differed in their ability to establish symbioses. We show that the coral host transcriptome remains almost unchanged during infection by competent symbionts, but is massively altered by symbionts that fail to establish symbioses. Our data suggest that successful coral-algal symbioses depend mainly on the symbionts' ability to enter the host in a stealth manner rather than a more active response from the coral host.

Project description:Thermal history plays a role in the response of corals to subsequent heat stress. Prior heat stress can have a profound impact on later thermal tolerance, but the mechanism for this plasticity is not clear. The understanding of gene expression changes behind physiological acclimatization is critical in forecasts of coral health in impending climate change scenarios. Acropora millepora fragments were preconditioned to sublethal bleaching threshold stress for a period of 10 days; this prestress conferred bleaching resistance in subsequent thermal challenge, in which non-preconditioned coral bleached. Using microarrays, we analyze the transcriptomes of the coral host, comparing the bleaching-resistant preconditioned treatment to non-preconditioned and control treatments. This experiment compared host gene expression of Acropora millepora across control, non-preconditioned, and preconditioned treatments. Fragments were sampled prior to preconditioning (Day 4), following 10 days of thermal preconditioning (Day 20), and after two (Day 23), four (Day 25), and eight days (Day 29) of 31M-BM-0C thermal challenge. The analysis implements 45 arrays, representing 5 sampling points of three treatments (n=3).

Project description:Naval training exercises involving live ordnance can introduce munitions constituents (MCs) such as 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5 triazine (RDX) into the marine environment posing a potential environmental hazard to reef organisms, including corals. We developed a bioinformatic infrastructure and high-density microarray for a coral consortium and assessed the effects of RDX bioaccumulation on gene expression related to coral and endosymbiont health in the reef building coral (Acropora formosa). High-throughput sequencing and assembly of the transcriptomes for A. formosa and all eukaryotic endosymbionts yielded 189,616 unique sequences and 25,003 significant functional matches to protein-coding genes. Functional annotation and metabolic pathway associations were also developed. The bioinformatics base was transitioned to custom 15,000 probe microarrays that were used to assess RDX effects on gene expression in the A. formosa coral consortium. Coral fragments were exposed to RDX (0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 mg/L) for 5d in a controlled laboratory experiment. RDX readily accumulated into coral tissues; however, bioconcentration was minimal (bioconcentration factor = 1.09-1.50). RDX caused no significant changes in zooxanthellae tissue densities, however a significant (p<0.05) 40% increase in mucocytes was observed in the 8 mg/L exposure indicating a mucosal protective response to RDX exposure. Investigation of T-RFLP profiles indicated significant differences in bacterial community composition inhabiting the coral surface microlayer of Acropora sp. between control and RDX-exposed coral as among exposure concentrations. Differential expression of transcripts increased with increasing RDX concentration where 126, 195 and 272 transcripts were differentially expressed in the 0.5, 2.0 and 8 mg/L RDX treatments, respectively. The commonality in differentially expressed transcripts (DET) among exposure concentrations ranged from 9.9 to 29.0% where the lowest commonality was observed between the most disparate RDX exposure concentrations. Increasing RDX concentrations caused an increasing proportion of the number of transcripts differentially expressed in symbionts relative to corals. Further, a trend toward decreased transcript expression in symbionts in response to increasing RDX concentration was observed where 20.0% of differentially expressed transcripts had decreased expression at the 0.5 mg/L concentration, whereas 80.4% had decreased expression at the 8 mg/L concentration. Investigation of KEGG orthology for DET indicated potential impacts of RDX on a variety of molecular pathways, predominantly in endosymbionts compared to the coral host. Prominent effects of RDX exposure on pathways included enrichment of DET involved in carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, metabolism of cofactors and vitamins, environmental information processing and cellular processes. Fragments of the living branched coral Acropora formosa were obtained from Oceans, Reefs and Aquaria (http://www.orafarm.com). Ten gallon aquaria were used to expose 5 coral fragments to control or RDX exposure conditions (0.49, 0.93, 1.77, 3.67 and 7.18 mg/L, measured concentrations). The microarray hybridization experiment included 3 biological replicates for the 0.5, 2, and 8 mg/L RDX conditions and 4 biological replicates for the control.

Project description:In this study, we examined the very early transcriptional response of aposymbiotic coral larval host (still not engaged in symbiosis) to hyperthermal stress. This experimental setting provided a scenario and opportunity to study the direct effect of environmental stressors on the host cell per se. Using a cDNA microarray constructed for Acropora millepora and Q-RT-PCR assays, we identified a number of genes that were significantly up- and down-regulated with increase of seawater temperature. Down-regulation of several key component of DNA/RNA metabolism was detected implying inhibition of this cellular metabolic process, however the down-regulation of overall protein synthesis was not simple and random, which suggest that the response to stress is a more complicated adjustment to the metabolic needs of the cell. We identified four significant outcomes during the very early hours of the transcriptional response to hyperthermal stress in coral larvae. First, molecular chaperones responded to hyperthermal stress by increasing their expression as expected, but the response was immediate and extremely rapid during the first 3 hours of heat exposure. Secondly, elevated temperature triggers down-regulation of a fluorescent protein homolog, DsRed-type FP, suggesting that this gene might be used as a potential molecular marker for monitoring hyperthermal stress in nature. Thirdly, the downregulation of a coral mannose-binding lectin under hyperthermal stress might compromise the coral immune defense and bring about susceptibility to pathogenic diseases. And lastly, an absence in the response of oxidative stress genes in aposymbiotic coral larvae during the early hours to hyperthermal stress suggest that the up-regulation of cnidarian host oxidative stress genes reported during thermal stress in algal/host symbiosis might be triggered directly by ROS generated by photosynthetic-dysfunctionally algal endosymbionts that diffuse into host cells, as very little ROS seems to be produced by the host cells from thermal-associated host cellular damage.
