Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals an early gene expression profile that contributes to cold resistance in Hevea brasiliensis (the Para rubber tree)

Tree Physiology

Abstract

The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg) is a tropical, perennial, woody plant that is susceptible to cold stress. In China, cold stress has been found to severely damage rubber plants in plantations in past decades. Although several Hevea clones that are resistant to cold have been developed, their cold hardiness mechanism has yet to be elucidated. For the study reported herein, we subjected the cold-resistant clone CATAS93-114 and the cold-sensitive clone Reken501 to chilling stress, and characterized their transcriptomes at 0, 2, 8 and 24 h after the start of chilling. We found that 7870 genes were differentially expressed in the transcriptomes of the two clones. In CATAS93-114, a greater number of genes were found to be up- or downregulated between 2 h and 8 h than in Reken501, which indicated a more rapid and intensive response by CATAS93-114 than by Reken501. The differentially expressed genes were grouped into seven major clusters, according to their Gene Ontology terms. The expression profiles for genes involved in abscisic acid metabolism and signaling, in an abscisic acid-independent pathway, and in early signal perception were found to have distinct expression patterns for the transcriptomes of the two clones....Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
