Cold stress, which includes chilling (<20℃) and/or freezing (<0℃) temperatures, adversely affects the growth and development of plants and significantly constraints the spatial distribution of plants and agricultural productivity. Cold signal in plants is transmitted to activate C-repeat/drought-responsive elements-binding factor (CBF)-dependent and independent transcriptional pathway. In Arabidopsis, cold-regulated genes have been estimated to constitute ~4% to 20% of the genome. Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis), like Arabidopsis, is a member of the Cruciferae family. With expectation that Chinese cabbage has similar cold-responding process as Arabidopsis, transcriptome profiles were examined in two comparable DH lines, Chiifu and Kenshin, using 24K microarray and expression of some of genes was analyzed by RT-PCR. Hundreds genes showed over two fold change upon freezing treatment, but only four genes specific for each line. Most of examined CBF-dependent and -independent pathway related genes have a similar expression patterns between Chiifu and Kenshin, except BrICE1 (inducer of CBF expression 1), MYB15, BrRAP2.1 and BrRAP2.6 (ethylene-responsive transcription factor 2.6). The BrICEL (inducer of CBF expression 1 like) showed specifically expression in Kenshin. The expression levels of vernalization related genes (BrRTV1, BrVRN5, BrVIN3L, VIP3 and VIP5) showed no difference between Chiifu and Kenshin and did not response to freezing treatment in our experiment. We will discuss more detailed expression data on poster.
