Transcriptome Sequencing Identified Genes and Gene Ontologies Associated with Early Freezing Tolerance in Maize

Abstract: Originating in a tropical climate, maize has faced great challenges as cultivation has expanded to the majority of the world's temperate zones. In these zones, frost and cold temperatures are major factors that prevent maize from reaching its full yield potential. Among 30 elite maize inbred lines adapted to northern China, we identified two lines of extreme, but opposite, freezing tolerance levels—highly tolerant and highly sensitive. During the seedling stage of these two lines, we used RNA-seq to measure ch… Show more

“…Descriptions as in Table 1 Another large and diversified group of genes involved in the cold stress response comprises those related to growth regulators. Our results indicate profound changes in the metabolism of all major plant growth regulators like ethylene, brassinosteroids and jasmonate and are consistent with their proposed roles in the cold-stress response of maize (Szalai et al 2000;Janowiak et al 2002;Du et al 2013;Vardhini and Anjum 2015;Li et al 2016). The picture is much less clear regarding the metabolic pathways related to the growth stimulators auxins, cytokinins and gibberellins that appeared to be altered under severe cold in a complex and inconsistent manner.…”

“…The EREB family (ERF/AP2 -ethylene responsive factor/apetala2), already known to be induced in maize at low temperature (Leipner and Stamp 2009;Li et al 2016), was by far the most numerous. Most of these genes were from the APETALA subfamily, and two, ZmEREB56 (dbp4 -DRE-binding protein4) and ZmEREB115 (ereb115 -AP2-EREBP-transcription Genes changing expression upon cold treatment of maize seedlings were assigned to defined biochemical pathways using MaizeCyc.…”

“…The mechanisms responsible for chilling tolerance include modification of photosynthetic apparatus modification, cell wall properties, and developmental processes ( Sobkowiak et al, 2016 ). Differential gene expression in response to freezing identified nine candidate genes with higher expression levels and eight candidate genes with lower expression levels in the tolerant compared to the intolerant lines ( Li Z. et al, 2016 ; di Fenza et al, 2017 ). Dent and flint maize, which differ in their kernel phenotypes, represent two major temperate gene pools in maize.…”

“…By analyzing the inner relationships between the genotype and phenotype of a crop, scientists are able to modify the gene sections and thereby improve yields. Crop genetic breeding is a currently a significant research field of interest, and great results have thus far been achieved [4][5][6][7][8]. Compared to genotypes, the phenotype methods have developed much slower [9].…”
