Abstract To determine the mechanisms in tea plants responding to temperature stresses (heat and cold), we examined the global transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles of the tea plant cultivar ‘Suchazao’ under moderately low temperature stress (ML), severely low temperature stress (SL), moderately high temperature stress (MH) and severely high temperature stress (SH) using RNA-seq and high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), respectively. The identified differentially expressed genes indicated that the synthesis of stress-resistance protein might be redirected to cope with the temperature stresses. We found that heat shock protein genes Hsp90 and Hsp70 played more critical roles in tea plants in adapting to thermal stress than cold, while late embryogenesis abundant protein genes (LEA) played a greater role under cold than heat stress, more types of zinc finger genes were induced under cold stress as well. In addition, energy metabolisms were inhibited by SH, SL and ML. Furthermore, the mechanisms of anthocyanin synthesis were different under the cold and heat stresses. Indeed, the CsUGT75C1 gene, encoding UDP-glucose:anthocyanin 5-O-glucosyl transferase, was up-regulated in the SL-treated leaves but down-regulated in SH. Metabolomics analysis also showed that anthocyanin monomer levels increased under SL. These results indicate that the tea plants share certain foundational mechanisms to adjust to both cold and heat stresses. They also developed some specific mechanisms for surviving the cold or heat stresses. Our study provides effective information about the different mechanisms tea plants employ in surviving cold and heat stresses, as well as the different mechanisms of anthocyanin synthesis, which could speed up the genetic breeding of heat- and cold-tolerant tea varieties.

The effect of short periods of high temperature stress on the reproductive development and yield of three Brassica species were studied in a growth chamber experiment conducted for 2 yr. Two genotypes from Brassica juncea L. and one each from B. napus L. and B. rapa L. were grown under day/night temperatures of 20/15 °C till early flowering or early pod development, subjected to high temperature stress of 28/15 °C or 35/15 °C for 7 d and then allowed to recover at 20/15 °C. Species differed in optimum temperatures, with B. juncea and B. rapa having higher optimum temperature than B. napus. Dry matter was unaffected by moderate temperature stress, while it was reduced by high temperature stress. The 35/15 °C treatment was injurious to reproductive organs at different developmental stages of all three species. High temperatures at flowering affected yield formation more than high temperature at pod development. On the main stem, mean seed yield reduction due to heat stress was 89%, but partial compensation by pods on the branches reduced mean per-plant seed yield decrease to 52%. Reduction in fertile pods (not total pod number), thousand seed weight and seeds per pod were responsible for the reduced seed yield. Brassica rapa was more sensitive to heat stress than B. napus and B. juncea. Although observation did not indicate the exact developmental phase when the reproductive organs were susceptible to heat stress, pods that passed a critical threshold developmental phase tolerated heat stress, which explained the smaller effect of high temperature stress at pod development. A direct temperature effect on reproductive organs appeared to be responsible for the reduction in yield. All genotypes began to recover from the stress by continuing flowering after returning to 20/15 °C. Brassica napus was least able to recover from severe stress at flowering, as evidenced by the formation of many abnormal pods during recovery. Per-plant yield response of canola-quality B. juncea line J90-4316 was similar to oriental mustard Cutlass. Thus, heat stress effect depends on the growth stage of canola and mustard and Brassica species differ in heat stress response.

Abstract Background: Bohai Red, a new Argopecten scallop strain selected from the hybrids between the Peruvian scallop, Argopecten purpuratus and the bay scallop northern subspecies, A. irradians irradians, is now one of the most cultured scallop strains in northern China. As one of a series of studies focusing on adaptation of Bohai Red scallops to fluctuations in environmental factors, this study aimed to examine the expression profile of Wnt genes in response to different temperature stresses in Bohai Red. Results: As Bohai Red scallops were originated from the hybrids between the Peruvian scallop and the bay scallop northern subspecies, we first identified all Wnt genes from the genomes of the Peruvian scallop and the bay scallop northern subspecies, as well as the bay scallop southern subspecies, A. i. concentricus. Twelve Wnt members were identified from the two subspecies of bay scallop, and 13 Wnt genes were found in the genome of the Peruvian scallop. Protein structure analyses showed that most Wnt genes poses all 5 conserved motifs except Wnt 1, Wnt 2, Wnt 6 and Wnt 9 in the bay scallops and Wnt2 and Wnt9 in the Peruvian scallop. Unexpectedly, Wnt8 gene was present while Wnt3 was absent in both the bay scallops and the Peruvian scallop. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Wnt3 may have disappeared in the early evolution of mollusks. The expression profile of Wnt genes in Bohai Red exposed to different temperatures were examined by qRT-PCR. The results showed that expression of Wnt genes responded differentially to temperature changes. The Wnt genes such as Wnt1, Wnt6, Wnt7, Wnt11 and WntA that responded slowly to low and high temperature stresses may be related to the maintenance of basic homeostasis. Other Wnt genes such as Wnt4, Wnt9, Wnt5 and Wnt2 that responded rapidly to low temperature may play an important role in organismal protection against low temperature stress. And yet some Wnt genes including Wnt10, Wnt16, and Wnt8 that responded quickly to high temperature stress may play key roles in response to organismal stress provoked by high temperature stress. Conclusions: Wnt genes are well conserved in Argopecten scallops, as in other bivalves. Wnt genes may play important roles in adaptation of Bohai Red scallops to changing temperatures. The results in this study will provide new insights into the evolution and function of Wnt genes in bivalves and eventually benefit culture of Bohai Red scallops.

ABSTRACTTwenty-four 1-year-old boars of proven fertility were assigned randomly to one of two temperature-controlled trailers. A control group in each trial was held at 17 ± 0·5°C while the other group was exposed to a diurnal ambient temperature cycle. Cycles followed a sine-wave pattern with minimum and maximum temperatures occurring at 04.00 and 16.00 h respectively. Cycling temperature ranges were 17 to 33 ± 0·5°C (low-temperature stress), 19·5 to 35·5 ± 0·5°C (medium-temperature stress), and 22 to 38 ± 0·5°C (high-temperature stress). Semen samples were collected every 3 or 4 days over an experimental period of 42 days.Low-temperature stress and medium-temperature stress boars were not affected significantly in the five parameters of semen quality observed. The difference between controls and high-temperature stress boars was highly significant for motility, abnormal spermatozoa, gel-free volume, and total spermatozoa per ejaculate. Concentration of spermatozoa was not affected by treatment. Significant time effects were observed for motility, abnormal spermatozoa and total spermotozoa per ejaculate. Significant differences began to appear after 2 or 3 weeks and changes still appeared to be occurring at 6 weeks.

Abstract Background Wucai (Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis var. rosularis Tsen) is a cold-tolerant plant that is vulnerable to high temperature. This study explored the response mechanism of wucai to low temperature. In this study, wucai seedlings were treated with different temperatures, including low temperature (LT), high temperature (HT), and a control. Results According to transcriptomics analysis, the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in HT and LT was 10,702 and 7267, respectively, compared with the control. The key genes associated with the physiological response of wucai to the treatments were analyzed. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and Gene Ontology annotations indicated the importance of the photosynthesis and photosynthetic-antenna protein pathways. We found that a high-temperature environment greatly inhibited the expression of important genes in the photosynthetic pathway (BrLhc superfamily members, PsaD, PsaE, PsaD, PsaD, PsbO, PsbP, PsbQ, PsbR, PsbS, PsbW, PsbY, Psb27, and Psb28), whereas low temperature resulted in the expression of certain key genes (BrLhc superfamily members, Psa F, Psa H, Psb S, Psb H, Psb 28). In addition, the wucai seedlings exhibited better photosynthetic performance under low-temperature conditions than high-temperature conditions. Conclusions Based on the above results, we speculate that upon exposure to low temperature, the plants developed higher cold tolerance by upregulating the expression of genes related to photosynthesis. Conversely, high-temperature stress inhibited the expression of pivotal genes and weakened the self-regulating ability of the plants.
