Genome-Wide Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals a Regulatory Network of Oxidative Stress-Induced Flowering Signals Produced in Litchi Leaves
Litchi is an important subtropical fruit tree that requires an appropriately low temperature to trigger floral initiation. Our previous studies have shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in litchi flowering. To identify oxidative stress-induced flowering related genes in leaves, ‘Nuo...

description | Litchi is an important subtropical fruit tree that requires an appropriately low temperature to trigger floral initiation. Our previous studies have shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in litchi flowering. To identify oxidative stress-induced flowering related genes in leaves, ‘Nuomici’ potted trees were grown at medium low-temperature conditions (18/13 °C for day/night, medium-temperature). The trees were treated with the ROS generator methyl viologen dichloride hydrate (MV) as the MV-generated ROS treatment (MM, medium-temperature plus MV) and water as the control treatment (M, medium-temperature plus water). Sixteen RNA-sequencing libraries were constructed, and each library generated more than 5,000,000 clean reads. A total of 517 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained. Among those DEGs, plant hormone biosynthesis and signal transduction genes, ROS-specific transcription factors, such as AP2/ERF and WRKY genes, stress response genes, and flowering-related genes FLOWERING LOCUS T1 (FT1) and FLOWERING LOCUS T2 (FT2) were significantly enriched. Then, as a confirmatory experiment, the potted trees were uniformly sprayed with MV, N,N’-dimethylthiourea (DMTU, ROS scavenger) plus MV, and water at medium-temperature. The results showed that the MV-generated ROS promoted flowering and changed related gene expression, but these effects were repressed by DMTU treatment. The results of our studies indicate that ROS could promote flowering and partly bypass chilling for litchi flowering. |
