As one of the most important metabolic processes in all plants, photosynthesis is necessary
for their survival and ensuring enough energy is created for successful execution of all
physiological processes, including nutrient intake and transport, interactions with the
environment, growth and development, as well as processes important for crops and their
production such as flowering, reproduction, grain filling etc. Many current strategies of
avoiding yield loss in crop production include earlier sowing, as to avoid increasingly higher
temperatures during late spring and summer, the consequences of climate change.
Because of that, the knowledge of the impact of the cold on the process of photosynthesis
is of crucial importance. In this research, we focused on the light dependent phase of
photosynthesis and chose two genes related both to this phase and stress tolerance –
photosystem II cytochrome b559 α-subunit and ATP synthase CF0 A subunit. These
genes were chosen for furt...her research from a set of differentially expressed genes
(DEGs) detected between Lancaster and non-Lancaster maize lines. Their expression was
validated on four maize inbred lines that belonged to different heterotic groups
(Lancaster and non-Lancaster). The experiment was performed under optimal and low
temperatures, 22° and 6° respectively, during the V4 growth stage. Samples for RNA
extraction, cDNA synthesis and qPCR expression validation were taken after 6h and 24h
of exposure to experimental temperatures, as well as after 48h in recovery. Results
showed significant changes in the expression of these genes, both between different time
points of stress treatment, as well as between different inbred lines. These preliminary
results give a good base for further studies of gene expression in important maize lines,
particularly abiotic stress related genes, as a tool for establishing successful breeding
programs and defining pathways involved in maize response to cold stress.
