Study Title | Untargeted metabolomics of Pinus pinaster needles under heat and drought stress |
Study Type | Untargeted MS-based metabolomics |
Study Summary | Current projections for global climate change predict an increase in the intensity and frequency of heat waves and droughts. The improvement in our understanding of the mechanisms of how trees precisely can predict environmental threats and cope with these stresses benefits our natural selection or genetic improvement to the maintenance of forest sustainability. In this work, we investigate the metabolic changes in heat and drought combined stress in Pinus pinaster plantlets. Maritime pine is a coniferous tree with native populations distributed across the European Atlantic and Mediterranean basins and the north of Africa ranging from cool moist to warm dry climates. This species shows high plasticity and a contrasting adaptive capacity and resilience. This plasticity in the response to stress exposure may be associated with a differential ability to modulate their secondary metabolism. For this reason, the current study aims to investigate the gradual and synergetic metabolomic response using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) based on untargeted metabolomic profiling of four stress levels. These metabolic profiles were supported by physiological and biochemical determinations. Our results showed that the metabolic profiles induced by low-stress exposition represent an adaptive conditioning mode with metabolome changes that help seedlings to cope with upcoming stress. The metabolism pathways involved in this response were mainly included in amino acid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism leading to an enhanced accumulation of phenolics, flavonoids, and terpenoids. However, when the plantlets were exposed to higher-stress exposition, the secondary metabolites that starred the response are more complex and decorated, such as alkaloids, lignans, and glycosyloxyflavones. Those changes could help to maintain homeostasis and control the response magnitude on establishing and facilitating the plantlets’ survival. Overall, our findings provide new insights into the responsive mechanisms of the maritime pine under heat and drought stress in terms of metabolic profiles. |

Treatment:
Treatment ID: | TR002296 |
Treatment Summary: | The experimental layout was based on a factorial design with two factors: temperature and water availability. Before starting the experiment, plants were divided into two chambers for testing two temperatures (30 ºC and 40 ºC), which in turn were split again into two levels of water availability (“low-water-stress”, LWS, and “high-water-stress”, HWS). Consequently, four stress levels, 40 ºC-HWS, 40 ºC-LWS, 30 ºC-HWS, and 30 ºC-LWS were tested. In both chambers, twelve plants were divided into six pools of two plants (three for HWS and three for LWS). These pools of two plants were kept across the sampling and formed the three independent biological replicates analyzed for each stress level. |
