Heat stress alters the expression of salt stress induced genes in smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora L.)

To understand the tolerance mechanism associated with high temperature stress in a halophyte smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), a few selected salt-induced genes including transcription factors were studied for their transcript abundance. The mRNA analysis of eight genes and nine transcriptio...

Zusammenfassung:To understand the tolerance mechanism associated with high temperature stress in a halophyte smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), a few selected salt-induced genes including transcription factors were studied for their transcript abundance. The mRNA analysis of eight genes and nine transcription factors known to be involved in various salt tolerance mechanisms revealed temporal and tissue-dependent variation in their expression under high temperature stress. Differential response of genes under heat and salt stress (reported earlier) indicated different mode of action in the metabolic pathway in response to different environmental cues, and a few common genes responsive to multiple stresses showed temporal and tissue-dependent variation in their expression. This study demonstrates that S. alterniflora could be a potential source of candidate genes conferring tolerance against high temperature in addition to salt tolerance for crop improvement
