Heat-induced oxidative activity protects suspension-cultured plant cells from low temperature damage

Abstract

A short heat pre-treatment (1 h at 38°C) was found to protect both suspension-cultured apple fruit cells and tobacco cells from cold-induced cell death. Tobacco cells were more sensitive to low temperatures than apple cells, with significant cell death after 48 h at 0 or -2°C. Real-time measurements of H2O2 levels during the heat pre-treatment revealed a substantial burst of this reactive oxygen species in both cell types. Real-time and longer-term measurements also showed a large burst of H2O2 production from tobacco cells, but not apple cells, when exposed to low temperatures. Lower temperatures reduced levels of peroxidase activity (both total and intracellular), with the heat pre-treatment preventing some of the cold-induced reduction of this activity in both apple and tobacco cells. The greater sensitivity to low temperature of the tobacco cells may be related to higher H2O2 production, with the heat treatment maintaining higher peroxidase activity. The lesser sensitivity of the apple cells may be due to the lack of a H2O2 burst and maintenance of peroxidase activity by the heat treatment. These results support a role for oxidative metabolism in the beneficial effects of heat in inducing low temperature tolerance.

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.
