Item Drought priming evokes essential regulation of Hsp gene families, Hsfs and their related miRNAs and induces heat stress tolerance in chickpea(Elsevier B.V., 2023-07-26T00:00:00) Juneja, Sumandeep; Saini, Rashmi; Adhikary, Arindam; Yadav, Renu; Khan, Shahied Ahmed; Nayyar, Harsh; Kumar, SanjeevOptimum temperature is crucial for plant's survival. During high temperature stress, heat shock proteins (Hsps) are expressed many folds essentially controlled by explicit heat shock factors (Hsfs).We have narrowed key HSPs, related HSFs and miRNAs regulated after priming with drought stress and consequent heat stress in chickpea. Firstly, we identified Hsf and Hsp gene families in desi and kabuli chickpea using Genome-wide analysis. Thereafter, selected Hsfs, Hsps and related miRNAs were analyzed using qRT-PCR in contrasting chickpea varieties (PBG1 and PBG5) after drought priming and exposing at 32 �C 24 hrs, 35 �C 12 hrs, and 38 �C 6 hrs. An interaction network between Hsfs and Hsps was generated. 18 & 17 Hsfs and 42 & 34 Hsps were identified in the desi and kabuli, respectively. The gene structure and motif composition of the genes were found to be conserved in all subfamilies. A total of 32 heat shock genes were found to have undergone duplication. Most of the CaHsf and CaHsp genes were differentially expressed on exposure to a combination of drought priming and heat stress in both in-silico and qPCR analysis. Targeted miRNAs expression was coordinated with the respective genes. miR156, miR166, miR319, miR171, and miR5213 were identified to be targets of sHsps, Hsfs, and Hsps. The protein-protein interaction revealed that CaHsp18.2 and CaHsp70 might be controlled by CaHsfsA1. Drought priming strongly correlated with less membrane damage and better leaf water content. Higher harvest index and root shoot ratio significantly indicated effectiveness of priming and essential role of Hsf and Hsp and related miRNAs in heat stress tolerance. � 2023Item Understanding cross-tolerance mechanism and effect of drought priming on individual heat stress and combinatorial heat and drought stress in chickpea(Springer, 2022-03-15T00:00:00) Yadav, Renu; Juneja, Sumandeep; Kumar, Rashpal; Saini, Rashmi; Kumar, SanjeevIn northern India, chickpea experiences abrupt heat and drought stress during the late developmental stage and entails significant production loss. In the present study, the effect of heat stress and combined stress (heat and drought) was assessed in five varieties of chickpea along with the underlying mechanism of cross-tolerance by priming. Healthy seedlings (24�days old) were primed with mild drought stress and exposed to three different temperatures, i.e., 38��C, 35��C, and 32��C for 12, 24, and 36�h respectively, and also in combination with drought. The damage and tolerance were evaluated based on biochemical and physiological indicators. Results indicate that significant response was observed at 35��C as compared to 32 and 38��C in terms of decrease in leaf water content, increased electrolyte leakage and lipid peroxidation, decreased chlorophyll content, increased accumulation of proline and total sugars, and increased antioxidative activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, guaiacol peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione reductase. The consequence of combined stress was more distinct than the individual heat stress and cannot be extrapolated from the synergistic effect of the two stresses. In addition, priming induced cross-tolerance at 35��C by improving the membrane damage, photorespiration, photosynthetic pigment, osmolyte accumulation, and some antioxidative enzymes. On the basis of all the above parameters, PDG4 was identified as the best performing variety and tolerant to heat stress while GPF2 was the worst performing and sensitive to heat stress. It can be inferred that both severity and duration of stress are important and priming can be considered as an important tool to induce cross-tolerance in crop plants. � 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Korean Society of Crop Science (KSCS).Item Unravelling cross priming induced heat stress, combinatorial heat and drought stress response in contrasting chickpea varieties(Elsevier Masson s.r.l., 2022-04-01T00:00:00) Yadav, Renu; Saini, Rashmi; Adhikary, Arindam; Kumar, SanjeevDrought and high temperature stress affect chickpea growth and productivity. Often these stresses occur simultaneously in the field and lead to a wide range of molecular and metabolic adaptations. Two chickpea varieties; GPF2 (heat sensitive) and PDG4 variety (heat tolerant) were exposed to 35 �C for 24 h individually and along with drought stress. Five heat responsive signalling genes and 11 structural genes were analyzed using qPCR along with untargeted metabolites analysis using GC MS. Expression of antioxidant genes (CaSOD and CaGPX, CaAPX and CaCAT), transcription factors (CaHSFB2, CaHSFB2A, CaHSFB2B, CaHSP17.5 and CaHSP22.7) and signalling genes (CaCAM, CaGAD, and CaMAPK) were upregulated in GPF2 as compared to PDG4 variety. Principal component analysis (PCA), partial least-square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and heat map analysis were applied to the metabolomics data to identify the differential response of metabolites in two chickpea varieties. GC-MS analysis identified 107 and 83 metabolites in PDG4 and GPF2 varieties respectively. PDG4 variety accumulated more sugars, amino acids, sugar alcohols, TCA cycle intermediates which provided heat resistance. Additionally, the differential metabolic pathways involved in heat tolerance were alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism, pantothenate CoA biosynthesis, fructose and mannose metabolism and pentose phosphate pathway in PDG4 variety. There was less accumulation of metabolites in the primed plants of both varieties as compared to the non-primed plants indicating less damage due to heat stress. The present study gives an overview of the molecular changes occurring in response to heat stress in sensitive and tolerant chickpea. � 2022 Elsevier Masson SASItem Drought priming evokes essential regulation of Hsp gene families, Hsfs and their related miRNAs and induces heat stress tolerance in chickpea(Elsevier B.V., 2023-07-26T00:00:00) Juneja, Sumandeep; Saini, Rashmi; Adhikary, Arindam; Yadav, Renu; Khan, Shahied Ahmed; Nayyar, Harsh; Kumar, SanjeevOptimum temperature is crucial for plant's survival.
