    High temperature stress responses and wheat: Impacts and alleviation strategies
    (Elsevier B.V., 2021) Mishra, Divya; Shekhar, Shubhendu; Chakraborty, Subhra; Chakraborty, Niranjan
    Over the past century, the average surface temperature and recurrent heatwaves have been steadily rising, affecting the yield potential of most food crops including bread wheat, the second most important caloric source, but is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of elevated temperatures. Significantly, the past decade has witnessed tremendous advancements in multiomics approaches to extract the key regulators that influence the adaptive responses to high temperature stress (HTS). With the help of genetic engineering technologies, transgenic wheat plants have been developed showing resistance to HTS without hampering productivity. In this review, we described the effect of rising temperature at a global scale and the drastic impacts on crops, particularly on wheat production. Also, this review is focused on accomplishing a deeper understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of HTS responses of crop plants, wheat in particular along with current strategies and technologies to generate thermotolerant varieties. Collective strategy and identified thresholds of HTS tolerance and susceptibility will contribute to the value-added modelling of wheat growth and yield under predictable future climate conditions.

    Wheat 2-Cys peroxiredoxin plays a dual role in chlorophyll biosynthesis and adaptation to high temperature
    (John Wiley & Sons, 2021) Mishra, Divya; Shekhar, Shubhendu; Chakraborty, Subhra; Chakraborty, Niranjan
    The molecular mechanism of high temperature stress (HTS) response, in plants, has so far been investigated using transcriptomics, while the dynamics of HTS‐responsive proteome remain unexplored. We examined the adaptive responses of the resilient wheat cultivar ‘Unnat Halna’ and dissected the HTS‐responsive proteome landscape. This led to the identification of 55 HTS‐responsive proteins (HRPs), which are predominantly involved in metabolism and defense pathways. Interestingly, HRPs included a 2‐cysteine peroxiredoxin (2CP), designated Ta2CP, presumably involved in stress perception and adaptation. Complementation of Ta2CP in yeast and heterologous expression in Arabidopsis demonstrated its role in thermotolerance. Both Ta2CP silencing and overexpression inferred the involvement of Ta2CP in plant growth and chlorophyll biosynthesis. We demonstrated that Ta2CP interacts with protochlorophyllide reductase b, TaPORB. Reduced TaPORB expression was found in Ta2cp‐silenced plants, while upregulation was observed in Ta2CP‐overexpressed plants. Furthermore, the downregulation of Ta2CP in Taporb‐silenced plants and reduction of protochlorophyllide in Ta2cp‐silenced plants suggested the key role of Ta2CP in chlorophyll metabolism. Additionally, the transcript levels of AGPase1 and starch were increased in Ta2cp‐silenced plants. More significantly, HTS‐treated Ta2cp‐silenced plants showed adaptive responses despite increased reactive oxygen species and peroxide concentrations, which might help in rapid induction of high‐temperature acclimation.

    Carboxylate clamp tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain containing Hsp90 cochaperones in Triticeace: an insight into structural and functional diversification
    (Elsevier B.V., 2018) Mishra, Divya; Shekhar, Shubhendu; Chakraborty, Subhra; Chakraborty, Niranjan
    The molecular chaperones serve as surveillance molecules that mediates regulatory crosstalk between protein folding and degradation pathways under natural and stress conditions. In present study, we focused on the diversification and role of tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain containing Hsp90 cochaperones. These cochaperone were recognized by the presence of three motifs of TPR with the basic conserved residues often referred to as carboxylate clamp (CC). A total of 213 putative CC-TPRs were found in Triticeace, clustered into 16 groups, amongst which few CC-TPR families such as TPR-RPAP3 and TPR-SMYD were documented. Domain architecture and genomic organization revealed that CC-TPRs are very diverse in nature. Evolutionary analyses showed that CC-TPRs are conserved, stable and ubiquitous in nature. Analysis of available RNA-seq data revealed a high degree of tissue-specific expression of 1-TPR and TaTPR-FKBP family members at various developmental stages. The transcripts of TaCC-TPRs displayed differential expression in two contrasting wheat cultivars under abiotic stress conditions. Complementation and heterologous expression of TaTPR-FKBP5 in yeast conferred abiotic stress tolerance. Together, these results provide a glimpse into the genetic diversity and evolution of CC-TPRs in Triticeace, which would help to better understand of how TPR-domain cochaperones function in plants.
