“…Similarly, Sb03g031320, a C2H2 zinc finger protein with a putative splicing function, is associated with root fresh weight under cold conditions. Zinc finger proteins are also involved in regulating tolerance mechanisms under oxidative stresses [44], and more recently a study showed increases in fresh weight and root length upon cold stress compared to wild-type with the transformation of C2H2 domain gene in Arabidopsis [45]. Other transcription factors such as Sb06g024820 and Sb05g001215 were also associated with anthocyanin level and root length, respectively.…”

BackgroundClimate variability due to fluctuation in temperature is a worldwide concern that imperils crop production. The need to understand how the germplasm variation in major crops can be utilized to aid in discovering and developing breeding lines that can withstand and adapt to temperature fluctuations is more necessary than ever. Here, we analyzed the genetic variation associated with responses to thermal stresses in a sorghum association panel (SAP) representing major races and working groups to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with resilience to temperature stress in a major cereal crop.ResultsThe SAP exhibited extensive variation for seedling traits under cold and heat stress. Genome-wide analyses identified 30 SNPs that were strongly associated with traits measured at seedling stage under cold stress and tagged genes that act as regulators of anthocyanin expression and soluble carbohydrate metabolism. Meanwhile, 12 SNPs were significantly associated with seedling traits under heat stress and these SNPs tagged genes that function in sugar metabolism, and ion transport pathways. Evaluation of co-expression networks for genes near the significantly associated SNPs indicated complex gene interactions for cold and heat stresses in sorghum. We focused and validated the expression of four genes in the network of Sb06g025040, a basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that was proposed to be involved in purple color pigmentation of leaf, and observed that genes in this network were upregulated during cold stress in a moderately tolerant line as compared to the more sensitive line.ConclusionThis study facilitated the tagging of genome regions associated with variation in seedling traits of sorghum under cold and heat stress. These findings show the potential of genotype information for development of temperature resilient sorghum cultivars and further characterization of genes and their networks responsible for adaptation to thermal stresses. Knowledge on the gene networks from this research can be extended to the other cereal crops to better understand the genetic basis of resilience to temperature fluctuations during plant developmental stages.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12870-016-0966-2) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Besides, findings have shown that Zn is closely related to oxidative stress-induced expression of genes encoding APX (Tsonev and Lidon 2012). It's worth noting that the cotton Cys2/His2-type zinc-finger protein is associated with the response to drought stress in plant (Li et al 2010;Luo et al 2012), and overexpression of zinc-finger proteins are related to antioxidative defense by enhancing antioxidant enzymes activities and decreasing accumulation of MDA in rice (Zhang et al , 2014. Therefore, the SOD, CAT and APX activities were enhanced by supplemental Zn in cotton leaves (Fig.…”

“…ZFP families comprise different members that are involved in developmental processes and stress response. For example, a RING ZFP OsR‐ZFP34 regulates somata opening when rice is exposed to high temperature stress , and a C 2 H 2 ‐type ZFP36 regulates the levels of superoxide dismutase and ascorbate peroxidase in plant cells when rice is exposed to abscisic acid and hydrogen peroxide stresses . In the present study, the zinc knuckle containing protein (Q67TK9) was upregulated more than 3.5‐fold in the HTL, whereas a no‐fold change was observed in the HSL, thereby suggesting that gene transcription in the HTL is regulated by ZFPs.…”

Quantitative iTRAQ‐based proteomic analysis of rice grains to assess high night temperature stress

Rice yield and quality are adversely affected by increasing global surface temperature, and are strongly attributed to high night temperature (HNT) than high daytime temperature. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the heat‐tolerant characteristics of rice remains unclear. In the present study, we compared the proteomes of heat‐tolerant and ‐sensitive lines of rice at early milky stage using an iTRAQ method. We have identified 38 differentially expressed proteins between the two lines, of which 32 proteins have been functionally annotated in NCBI and/or the UniProt database. These proteins were then classified into seven functional subgroups, which include signal transduction, transcript regulation, oxidation, defense response, transport, energy metabolism, and biosynthesis. Further analysis indicated that HNT stress could disrupt the redox equilibrium of plant cells, which in turn triggers the calcium‐dependent protein kinase and COP9 signalosome, thereby regulating downstream genes/proteins that are involved in the HNT response. The candidate proteins may provide genetic resources for the improvement of heat‐tolerant characteristics in rice, and the proposed model for signal transduction and transcriptional regulation may facilitate in the elucidation of the molecular mechanism underlying the response to HNT stress in rice.

Abstract: SummaryIn this study it was found that ZFP36 is required for ABA-induced antioxidant defence and for the regulation of the cross-talk between NADPH oxidase, H2O2, and MAPK in ABA signalling.
