Alternative splicing is an important mechanism for the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes during development, cell differentiation or stress response. Alterations in the splicing profiles of genes under high temperatures that cause heat stress (HS) can impact the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and thermotolerance. Consequently, information on factors involved in HS-sensitive alternative splicing is required to formulate the principles of HS response. Serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins have a central role in alternative splicing. We aimed for the identification and characterization of SR-coding genes in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), a plant extensively used in HS studies. We identified 17 canonical SR and two SR-like genes. Several SR-coding genes show differential expression and altered splicing profiles in different organs as well as in response to HS. The transcriptional induction of five SR and one SR-like genes is partially dependent on the master regulator of HS response, HS transcription factor HsfA1a. Cis-elements in the promoters of these SR genes were predicted, which can be putatively recognized by HS-induced transcription factors. Further, transiently expressed SRs show reduced or steady-state protein levels in response to HS. Thus, the levels of SRs under HS are regulated by changes in transcription, alternative splicing and protein stability. We propose that the accumulation or reduction of SRs under HS can impact temperature-sensitive alternative splicing.

Ribosome biogenesis is one cell function-defining process. It depends on efficient transcription of rDNAs in the nucleolus as well as on the cytosolic synthesis of ribosomal proteins. For newly transcribed rRNA modification and ribosomal protein assembly, so-called small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) and ribosome biogenesis factors (RBFs) are required. For both, an inventory was established for model systems like yeast and humans. For plants, many assignments are based on predictions. Here, RNA deep sequencing after nuclei enrichment was combined with single molecule species detection by northern blot and in vivo fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)-based localization studies. In addition, the occurrence and abundance of selected snoRNAs in different tissues were determined. These approaches confirm the presence of most of the database-deposited snoRNAs in cell cultures, but some of them are localized in the cytosol rather than in the nucleus. Further, for the explored snoRNA examples, differences in their abundance in different tissues were observed, suggesting a tissue-specific function of some snoRNAs. Thus, based on prediction and experimental confirmation, many plant snoRNAs can be proposed, while it cannot be excluded that some of the proposed snoRNAs perform alternative functions than are involved in rRNA modification.

Cellular transitions during development and stress response depend on coordinated transcriptomic and proteomic alterations. Pollen is particular because its development is a complex process that includes meiotic and mitotic divisions which causes a high heat sensitivity of these cells. Development and stress response are accompanied by a reprogramming of the transcriptome, e.g. by post-transcriptional regulation via miRNAs. We identified known and potentially novel miRNAs in the transcriptome of developing and heat-stressed pollen of Solanum lycopersicum (tomato). The prediction of target mRNAs yielded an equal number of predicted target-sites in CDS and 3’UTR regions of target mRNAs. The result enabled the postulation of a possible link between miRNAs and a fine-tuning of transcription factor abundance during pollen development. miRNAs seem to play a role in the pollen heat stress response as well. We identified several heat stress transcription factors and heat shock proteins as putative targets of miRNAs in response to heat stress, thereby placing these miRNAs as important elements of thermotolerance. Moreover, for members of the AP2, SBP and ARF family members we could predict a miRNA-mediated regulation during development via the miR172, mir156 and mir160-family strengthening the current concept of a cross-connection between development and stress response in plants.
