Abstract Clematis species are commonly grown in western and Japanese gardens. Heat stress can inhibit many physiological processes mediating plant growth and development. The mechanism regulating responses to heat has been well characterized in Arabidopsis thaliana and some crops, but not in horticultural plants, including Clematis species. In this study, we found that Clematis alpina ‘Stolwijk Gold’ was heat-sensitive whereas Clematis vitalba and Clematis viticella ‘Polish Spirit’ were heat-tolerant based on the physiological analyses in heat stress. Transcriptomic profiling identified a set of heat tolerance-related genes (HTGs). Consistent with the observed phenotype in heat stress, 41.43% of the differentially expressed HTGs between heat treatment and control were down-regulated in heat-sensitive cultivar Stolwijk Gold, but only 9.80% and 20.79% of the differentially expressed HTGs in heat resistant C. vitalba and Polish Spirit, respectively. Co-expression network, protein–protein interaction network and phylogenetic analysis revealed that the genes encoding heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) and heat shock proteins (HSPs) played an essential role in Clematis resistance to heat stress. Ultimately, we proposed that two clades of HSFs may have diverse functions in regulating heat resistance from C. vitalba and CvHSFA2-2 could endow different host with high temperature resistance. This study provides first insights into the diversity of the heat response mechanisms among Clematis species.

Abstract Background: Clematis species are commonly grown in western and Japanese gardens. Heat stress can inhibit many physiological processes mediating plant growth and development. The mechanism regulating responses to heat has been well characterized in Arabidopsis thaliana and some crops, but not in horticultural plants, including Clematis species. Results: In this study, we identified a heat-sensitive Clematis variety (Clematis alpina ‘Stolwijk Gold’) and two heat-tolerant Clematis varieties (Clematis vitalba and Clematis viticella ‘Polish Spirit’) based on heat-related physiological indices. The leaf transcriptomes under normal and heat stress conditions were analyzed by RNA sequencing. Additionally, heat tolerance-related genes (HTGs) were identified and their expression levels were analyzed. Following heat treatments, 41.67% of the differentially expressed HTGs in Stolwijk Gold had down-regulated expression levels, whereas only 9.80% and 21.36% of the differentially expressed HTGs in C. vitalba and Polish Spirit, respectively, had the same trend. The HTGs’ co-expression and protein–protein interaction networks revealed that the hub genes regulating Clematis resistance to heat stress encode heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) and heat shock proteins (HSPs). Moreover, the sensitivity of Stolwijk Gold to heat is mainly due to the heat-induced down-regulated expression of these genes. On the basis of phylogenetic and expression analyses, the differentially expressed HSF and HSP genes in the three examined varieties were divided into three and four clades, respectively, with similar expression profiles common among orthologous family members. Furthermore, we identified two HSF classes in C. vitalba that may have diverse functions influencing heat resistance. Conclusions: Our study provides insights into the diversity of the heat response mechanisms among Clematis species and may be useful for breeding new heat-resistant ornamental Clematis varieties.

To explore heat response mechanisms of mircoRNAs (miRNAs) in rice post-meiosis panicle, microarray analysis was performed on RNA isolated from rice post-meiosis panicles which were treated at 40°C for 0 min, 10 min, 20 min, 60 min, and 2 h. By integrating paired differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs and mRNA expression profiles, we found that the expression levels of 29 DE-miRNA families were negatively correlated to their 178 DE-target genes. Further analysis showed that the majority of miRNAs in 29 DE-miRNA families resisted the heat stress by downregulating their target genes and a time lag existed between expression of miRNAs and their target genes. Then, GO-Slim classification and functional identification of these 178 target genes showed that (1) miRNAs were mainly involved in a series of basic biological processes even under heat conditions; (2) some miRNAs might play important roles in the heat resistance (such as osa-miR164, osa-miR166, osa-miR169, osa-miR319, osa-miR390, osa-miR395, and osa-miR399); (3) osa-miR172 might play important roles in protecting the rice panicle under the heat stress, but osa-miR437, osa-miR418, osa-miR164, miR156, and miR529 might negatively affect rice fertility and panicle flower; and (4) osa-miR414 might inhibit the flowering gene expression by downregulation of LOC_Os 05g51830 to delay the heading of rice. Finally, a heat-induced miRNA-PPI (protein-protein interaction) network was constructed, and three miRNA coregulatory modules were discovered.

Background: Mexico is an important producer of chickpea; however, high temperatures during flowering and grain filling limit seed yield and seed size. Plant adaptation strategies to heat stress depend on climatic and soil conditions, but mainly on the plant genetic characteristics. The increase in heat shock proteins (HSP) production occurs when plants experience an abrupt or gradual increase in temperature in order to whithstand stress with the least damage. Methods: Sixty-five Heat Shock Protein related genes that induce transcription under heat stress were studied according to their expression profiles. This strategy allows for the selection of chickpea genotypes bearing potential heat stress tolerance. Based on the number of overexpressed (induced) genes and on its level of expression, a tolerance index was calculated. Result: Tolerant desi genotypes were: ICC 10259, ICC 13020, ICC 4958 and Annigeri; and in the kabuli type outstanding genotypes were: Mazocahui, ICCV 2, Blanco Sinaloa 92, Tequi Blanco 95, Combo 743 and CUGA 08-1210. These genotypes showed profiles with a higher number of induced genes and higher Tolerance Indexes. These genotypes will be further evaluated in the field and under controlled conditions and in the near future used as parental stocks.

Patterns of heat shock gene transcription and translation, as well as trehalose content, were investigated in both glucose (repressed) and acetate (derepressed) grown cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae during heat shock and subsequent return of cells to 25°C. Heat-shocked cells (37°C for 30 min), grown in either glucose- or acetate-supplemented media, initially acquired high thermotolerance to a 50°C heat stress, which was progressively lost when cultures were allowed to recover at 25°C and subsequently exposed to a second heat stress. In all cases, with the notable exception of repressed cells of a relatively thermosensitive strain, inhibition of protein synthesis and coincident decrease in trehalose accumulation during the heat shock had little effect on the kinetics of loss of thermotolerance. Heat shock at 37°C elicited a marked increase in transcription and translation of genes encoding major heat shock proteins (hsps). During recovery at 25°C, both metabolic activities were suppressed followed by a gradual increase in hsp mRNA transcription to levels observed prior to heat shock. De novo translation of hsp mRNAs, however, was no longer observed during the recovery phase, although immuno- detection analyses demonstrated persistence of high levels of hsps 104, 90, 70, and 60 in cells throughout the 240-min recovery period. In addition, while heat shock induced trehalose was rapidly degraded during recovery in repressed cells, levels remained high in derepressed cells. Results therefore indicated that the progressive loss of induced thermotolerance exhibited by glucose- and acetate-grown cells was not closely correlated with levels of hsp or trehalose. It was concluded that both constitutive and de novo synthesized hsps require heat shock associated activation to confer thermotolerance and this modification is progressively reversed upon release from the heat-shocked state.Key words: thermotolerance, hyperthermic recovery, hsp transcription, hsp translation, trehalose.

ABSTRACT Shewanella oneidensis is an important model organism for bioremediation studies because of its diverse respiratory capabilities. However, the genetic basis and regulatory mechanisms underlying the ability of S. oneidensis to survive and adapt to various environmentally relevant stresses is poorly understood. To define this organism's molecular response to elevated growth temperatures, temporal gene expression profiles were examined in cells subjected to heat stress by using whole-genome DNA microarrays for S. oneidensis. Approximately 15% (n = 711) of the total predicted S. oneidensis genes (n = 4,648) represented on the microarray were significantly up- or downregulated (P < 0.05) over a 25-min period after shift to the heat shock temperature. As expected, the majority of the genes that showed homology to known chaperones and heat shock proteins in other organisms were highly induced. In addition, a number of predicted genes, including those encoding enzymes in glycolysis and the pentose cycle, serine proteases, transcriptional regulators (MerR, LysR, and TetR families), histidine kinases, and hypothetical proteins were induced. Genes encoding membrane proteins were differentially expressed, suggesting that cells possibly alter their membrane composition or structure in response to variations in growth temperature. A substantial number of the genes encoding ribosomal proteins displayed downregulated coexpression patterns in response to heat stress, as did genes encoding prophage and flagellar proteins. Finally, a putative regulatory site with high conservation to the Escherichia coli σ32-binding consensus sequence was identified upstream of a number of heat-inducible genes.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA), one of the most important causes leading to joint disability, was considered as an untreatable disease. A series of genes were reported to regulate the pathogenesis of OA, including microRNAs, Long non-coding RNAs and Circular RNA. So far, the expression profiles and functions of lncRNAs, mRNAs, and circRNAs in OA are not fully understood. Objective: The present study aimed to identify differently expressed genes in OA. Methods: The present study conducted RNA-seq to identify differently expressed genes in OA. Ontology (GO) analysis was used to analysis the Molecular Function and Biological Process. KEGG pathway analysis was used to perform the differentially expressed lncRNAs in biological pathways. Results: Hierarchical clustering revealed a total of 943 mRNAs, 518 lncRNAs, and 300 circRNAs were dysregulated in OA compared to normal samples. Furthermore, we constructed differentially expressed mRNAs mediated proteinprotein interaction network, differentially expressed lncRNAs mediated trans regulatory networks, and competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to reveal the interaction among these genes in OA. Bioinformatics analysis revealed these dysregulated genes were involved in regulating multiple biological processes, such as wound healing, negative regulation of ossification, sister chromatid cohesion, positive regulation of interleukin-1 alpha production, sodium ion transmembrane transport, positive regulation of cell migration, and negative regulation of inflammatory response. To the best of our knowledge, this study for the first time revealed the expression pattern of mRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs in OA. Conclusion: This study provided novel information to validate these differentially expressed RNAs may be as possible biomarkers and targets in OA.

AbstractDuring recent decades, global warming has intensified, altering crop growth, development and survival. To overcome changes in their environment, plants undergo transcriptional reprogramming to activate stress response strategies/pathways. To evaluate the genetic bases of the response to heat stress, Conserved DNA-derived Polymorphism (CDDP) markers were applied across tomato genome of eight cultivars. Despite scattered genotypes, cluster analysis allowed two neighbouring panels to be discriminate. Tomato CDDP-genotypic and visual phenotypic assortment permitted the selection of two contrasting heat-tolerant and heat-sensitive cultivars. Further analysis explored differential expression in transcript levels of genes, encoding heat shock transcription factors (HSFs, HsfA1, HsfA2, HsfB1), members of the heat shock protein (HSP) family (HSP101, HSP17, HSP90) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) enzymes (APX1, APX2). Based on discriminating CDDP-markers, a protein functional network was built allowing prediction of candidate genes and their regulating miRNA. Expression patterns analysis revealed that miR156d and miR397 were heat-responsive showing a typical inverse relation with the abundance of their target gene transcripts. Heat stress is inducing a set of candidate genes, whose expression seems to be modulated through a complex regulatory network. Integrating genetic resource data is required for identifying valuable tomato genotypes that can be considered in marker-assisted breeding programmes to improve tomato heat tolerance.

Abstract Background Maize is one of the important cereal food crops in the world. High temperature stress causes adverse influence on plant growth. When plants are exposed to high temperatures, they produce heat shock proteins (HSPs), which may impart a generalized role in tolerance to heat stress. Proteome analysis was performed in plant to assess the changes in protein types and their expression levels under abiotic stress. The purpose of the study is to explore which proteins are involved in the response of the maize plant to heat shock treatment. Results We investigated the responses of abundant proteins of maize leaves, in an Egyptian inbred line of maize “K1”, upon heat stress through two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) on samples of maize leaf proteome. 2-DE technique was used to recognize heat-responsive protein spots using Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) and silver staining. In 2-D analysis of proteins from plants treated at 45 °C for 2 h, the results manifested 59 protein spots (4.3%) which were reproducibly detected as new spots where did not present in the control. In 2D for treated plants for 4 h, 104 protein spots (7.7%) were expressed only under heat stress. Quantification of spot intensities derived from heat treatment showed that twenty protein spots revealed clear differences between the control and the two heat treatments. Nine spots appeared with more intensity after heat treatments than the control, while four spots appeared only after heat treatments. Five spots were clearly induced after heat treatment either at 2 h or 4 h and were chosen for more analysis by LC-MSMS. They were identified as ATPase beta subunit, HSP26, HSP16.9, and unknown HSP/Chaperonin. Conclusion The results revealed that the expressive level of the four heat shock proteins that were detected in this study plays important roles to avoid heat stress in maize plants.
