| 英文摘要 | Pre-exposure of plants to various abiotic conditions confers improved tolerance to subsequent stress. Mild drought acclimation induces acquired rapid desiccation tolerance (RDT) in the resurrection plant Boea hygrometrica, but the mechanisms underlying the priming and memory processes remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that drought acclimation-induced RDT can be maintained for at least four weeks but was completely erased after 18 weeks based on a combination of the phenotypic and physiological parameters. Global transcriptome analysis identified several RDT-specific rapid dehydration-responsive genes related to cytokinin and phospholipid biosynthesis, nitrogen and carbon metabolism, and epidermal morphogenesis, most of which were pre-induced by drought acclimation. Comparison of whole-genome DNA methylation revealed dehydration stress-responsive hypomethylation in the CG, CHG, and CHH contexts and acclimation-induced hypermethylation in the CHH context of the B. hygrometrica genome, consistent with the transcriptional changes in methylation pathway genes. As expected, the global promoter and gene body methylation levels were negatively correlated with gene expression levels in both acclimated and dehydrated plants but showed no association with transcriptional divergence during the procedure. Nevertheless, the promoter methylation variations in the CG and CHG contexts were significantly associated with the differential expression of genes required for fundamental genetic processes of DNA conformation, RNA splicing, translation, and post-translational protein modification during acclimation, growth, and rapid dehydration stress response. It was also associated with the dehydration stress-induced upregulation of memory genes, including pre-mRNA-splicing factor 38A, vacuolar amino acid transporter 1-like, and UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase, which may contribute directly or indirectly to the improvement of dehydration tolerance in B. hygrometrica plants. Altogether, our findings demonstrate the potential implications of DNA methylation in dehydration stress memory and, therefore, provide a molecular basis for enhanced dehydration tolerance in plants induced by drought acclimation. Author summary Drought is a major adverse environmental condition affecting plant growth and productivity. Although plants can be trained to improved tolerance to the subsequent drought stress, most land plants are unable to recover from severe dehydration when the relative water content in their vegetative tissues drops below 20-30%. However, a small group of angiosperms, termed resurrection plants, can survive extreme water deficiency of their vegetative tissues to an air-dried state and recovered upon rehydration. Understanding the biochemical and molecular basis of desiccation tolerance is valuable for extending our knowledge of the maximum ability of plants to deal with extreme water loss. Boea hygrometrica is a well-characterized resurrection plant that can not only tolerate slow dehydration but also extend its ability to survive rapid dehydration after a priming process of slow dehydration and rehydration. The rapid desiccation tolerance in primed plants can be maintained for at least four weeks. Here, we utilized this system of drought acclimation-induced RDT acquisition, maintenance, and erasing to explore plant phenotypic, physiological, and transcriptional changes, as well as DNA methylation dynamics. The analyses of the effect of DNA methylation on gene expression and promoter methylation changes with differential gene expression revealed the putative epigenetic control of dehydration stress memory in plants. |
