Project description:In order to find out the genes involved in the heat shock response of cucumber, the seedlings of '9930', a North China type cucumber variety, were treated with high temperature at 42℃, and the leaves of the seedlings were taken after 0, 3 and 6 hours of treatment for transcriptome sequencing to analyze the differential expression genes of cucumber in response to high temperature stress. The results showed that compared with the control (heat treatment at 0h), there were 6 082 genes differentially expressed after heat treatment for 3 h and 6 h, of which 3245 were up-regulated and 2 388 were down-regulated. The results of enrichment analysis of GO and KEGG showed that these differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in metabolic pathway and protein synthesis pathway. Among the differentially expressed genes, there are many Hsp family genes, including Hsp20, HSP70 and Hsp90, which are up-regulated by heat stress, indicating that these genes may play a positive regulatory role in heat shock response of cucumber. In addition, many transcription factors, including AP2, MYB, WRKY, bHLH and HSF, were also induced by heat.
Project description:Salinity seriously reduces the yield and quality of crops. Silicon (Si) has been widely reported to have beneficial effects on plant growth and development under salt stress. However, the mechanism is still poorly understood. In an attempt to identify genes or gene networks that may be orchestrated to improve salt tolerance of cucumber plants, we profiled the RNA-seq transcriptomes of both control and salt-stressed cucumber leaves in the presence or absence of added Si. The comparative transcriptome analysis revealed that Si plays an important role in shaping the transcriptome of cucumber: the expression levels of >1,000 genes (differtially expressed genes, DEGs) were changed in response to Si treatment as compared with the control, and these genes were mainly involved in ion transport, hormone and signal transduction, biosynthesis and metabolic processes, stress and defense responses, and antioxidant activity. Under salt stress, many genes functionally associated with metabolic processes and responses to environmental stimuli were strongly up- or down-regulated in their expressions. Si treatment showed a tendency that induced the transcriptomic profile of salt-stressed cucumber back to that of the control with large majority of Na down-regulated DEGs and about half of Na up-regulated DEGs being adjusted back to CT levels. This study provides a novel insight into the mechanism for Si-mediated alleviation of salt stress in plants at the transcriptome level, and it suggests that Si may act as an elicitor to precondition cucumber plants and induce salt tolerance.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of tomato fruits under heat stress revealed that most SlCRK genes were downregulated upon heat treatment. GO enrichment analysis of genes that were co-expressed with SlCRK members have identified various stress response related and proteasoma protein catabolic process related genes, which may be involved in heat stress signaling Overall, our results provide valuable information for further research on the roles of SlCRKs in response to abiotic stress, especially heat stress.

Project description:Rice transcriptome under heat stress
Project description:Rainbow trout is a typical cold-water fish, with the intensification of global warming, high temperatures severely restrict the development of aquaculture in summer. Understanding the molecular regulation mechanisms of rainbow trout in response to heat stress will be salutary to alleviate heat stress-related damage. In the present study, we performed transcriptome analysis of liver tissues in rainbow trout under heat stress (24℃) and control (18℃) conditions to identify induced lncRNAs and pathways by heat stress. More than 658 million clean reads and 5,916 lncRNAs were identified from six liver libraries. A total of 927 novel lncRNAs were generated and 428 differentially expressed lncRNAs were screened through stringent thresholds. The RNA-seq results were verified by RT-qPCR. In addition, the regulatory network of important functional lncRNA-mRNA were constructed. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of target gene of differentially expressed lncRNAs were performed. Many target genes involved in maintaining homeostasis or adapting to stress and stimuli were highly induced under heat stress. Several important regulatory pathways were involved in heat stress, including thyroid hormone signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, estrogen signaling pathway, etc. This result broadens our understanding of lncRNA associated with heat stress and provides new insights into lncRNA-mediated regulation of rainbow trout heat stress.
Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of gene expression profiles of cucumber under short-term chilling stress. The goals of this study are to transcriptome analysis of cucumber leaves under chilling stress. Methods: mRNA profiles of seedlings exposed to an air temperature of 6°C in the absence of light at 0, 2, 6, and 12 h were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq platform. The reference genome and gene model annotation files were downloaded from the genome website (http://cucurbitgenomics.org/). An index of the reference genome was built using Bowtie v.2.2.3 and paired-end clean reads were aligned to the reference genome using TopHat v.2.0.12. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: A total of 55.7 million clean reads was generated. Based on the threshold values of absolute value of log2 ratio ≥ 1 and FDR ≤ 0.05, a total of 2113 DEGs was identified at three time points (2, 6, and 12 h). A total of 30 genes was detected at all time points. The number of DEGs increased with time. In total, 100 TFs from 22 families in three subsets were detected. And 19 kinase families were identified in three subsets. The DEGs identified by RNA sequencing were confirmed by qRT-PCR analysis, indicating that the data were reliable. These findings provide information that can be useful for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying the response to chilling stress in cucumber and other plants. Conclusions: The results presented here reveal changes in the transcriptome profile of cucumber in response to chilling stress. Exposure to a low temperature induced genes involved in hormone regulation, lipid metabolism, and photosynthesis, including NAC, WRKY, AP2/ERF, ERD, MYB as well as zinc finger TFs and protein kinases such as receptor-like protein kinase, MAPK, and CDK. Most TFs were upregulated whereas CDKs were downregulated. These findings provide information that can be useful for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying the response to chilling stress in cucumber and other plants.
