AbstractThe footprint of tomato cultivation, a cool region crop that exhibits heat stress (HS) sensitivity, is increasing in the tropics/sub-tropics. Knowledge of novel regulatory hot-spots from varieties growing in the Indian sub-continent climatic zones could be vital for developing HS-resilient crops. Comparative transcriptome-wide signatures of a tolerant (CLN1621L) and sensitive (CA4) cultivar-pair short-listed from a pool of varieties exhibiting variable thermo-sensitivity using physiological, survival and yield-related traits revealed redundant to cultivar-specific HS-regulation with more up-regulated genes for CLN1621L than CA4. The anatgonisiticly-expressing genes include enzymes; have roles in plant defense and response to different abiotic stresses. Functional characterization of three antagonistic genes by overexpression and TRV-VIGS silencing established Solyc09g014280 (Acylsugar acyltransferase) and Solyc07g056570 (Notabilis), that are up-regulated in tolerant cultivar, as positive regulators of HS-tolerance and Solyc03g020030 (Pin-II proteinase inhibitor), that is down-regulated in CLN1621L, as negative regulator of thermotolerance. Transcriptional assessment of promoters of these genes by SNPs in stress-responsive cis-elements and promoter swapping experiments in opposite cultivar background showed inherent cultivar-specific orchestration of transcription factors in regulating transcription. Moreover, overexpression of three ethylene response transcription factors (ERF.C1/F4/F5) also improved HS-tolerance in tomato. This study identifies several novel HS-tolerance genes and provides proof of their utility in tomato-thermotolerance.HighlightNovel heat stress regulatory pathways uncovered by comparative transcriptome profiling between contrasting tomato cultivars from Indian sub-continent for improving thermotolerance.
