Based on projections of intensifying climate change and considering the key role of exploring the recovery abilities, cork oak seedlings were subjected to a cumulative temperature increase from 25◦C to 55◦C and subsequent recovery. CO2 assimilation rate, chlorophyll fluorescence, anthocyanins, proline and lipid peroxidation were used to evaluate plant per- formance, while the relative abundance of seven genes encoding for proteins of cork oak with a putative role in thermal/stress regulation (POX1, POX2, HSP10.4, HSP17a.22, CHS, MTL and RBC) was analyzed by qPCR (quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction). A temperature change to 35◦C showed abundance alterations in the tested genes; at 45◦C, the molecular changes were associated with an antioxidant response, possibly modulated by anthocyanins. At 55◦C, HSP17a.22, MTL and proline accumulation were evident. After recovery, physiological balance was restored, whereas POX1, HSP10.4 and MTL abundances were suggested to be involved in increased thermotolerance. The data presented here are expected to pinpoint some pathways changes occurring during such stress and further recovery in this particular Mediterranean species. ©</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Correia, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valledor, Luis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meijón, Mónica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rodriguez, José Luis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dias, Maria Celeste</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santos, Conceição</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cañal, Maria Jesus</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rodriguez, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pinto, Glória</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Is the Interplay between Epigenetic Markers Related to the Acclimation of Cork Oak Plants to High Temperatures?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS ONE</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acclimatization</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acclimatization: genetics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acetylation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blotting</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CHROMATIN</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CORK oak (citation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deoxycytidine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deoxycytidine: analogs &amp;

DNA methylation and histone posttranslational modifications have been shown to play a key role in both epigenetic control and plant functional status under stress by controlling the functional state of chromatin and gene expression. Cork oak (Quercus suber L.) is a key stone of the Mediterranean region, growing at temperatures of 45°C. This species was subjected to a cumulative temperature increase from 25°C to 55°C under laboratory conditions in order to test the hypothesis that epigenetic code is related to heat stress tolerance. Electrolyte leakage increased after 35°C, but all plants survived to 55°C. DNA methylation and acetylated histone H3 (AcH3) levels were monitored by HPCE (high performance capillary electrophoresis), MS-RAPD (methylation-sensitive random-amplified polymorphic DNA) and Protein Gel Blot analysis and the spatial distribution of the modifications was assessed using a confocal microscope. DNA methylation analysed by HPCE revealed an increase at 55°C, while MS-RAPD results pointed to dynamic methylation-demethylation patterns over stress. Protein Gel Blot showed the abundance index of AcH3 decreasing from 25°C to 45°C. The immunohistochemical detection of 5-mC (5-methyl-2′-deoxycytidine) and AcH3 came upon the previous results. These results indicate that epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation and histone H3 acetylation have opposite and particular dynamics that can be crucial for the stepwise establishment of this species into such high stress (55°C), allowing its acclimation and survival. This is the first report that assesses epigenetic regulation in order to investigate heat tolerance in forest trees.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;publisher: Public Library of Science&lt;br/&gt;accession-num: 23326451</style></notes></record></records></xml>
