ABSTRACT
Information concerning genes and signals regulating cold acclimation processes in plants is abundant; however, less is known about genes and signals regulating the deacclimation process. A population of primarily winter B. napus varieties was used to conduct a genome-wide association study and to compare the transcriptomes from two winter B. napus varieties showing time-dependent differences in response to cold acclimation and deacclimation treatments. These studies helped to identify loci, candidate genes, and signaling processes impacting deacclimation in B. napus. GWAS identified polymorphisms at five different loci associated with freezing tolerance following deacclimation. Local linkage decay rates near these polymorphisms identified 38 possible candidate genes. Several of these genes have been reported as differentially regulated by cold stress in arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), including a calcium-binding EF-hand family protein (encoded by BnaCnng10250D) that was also differentially expressed during deacclimation in this study. Thousands of other genes differentially expressed during the acclimation and deacclimation treatments implicated processes involving oxidative stress, photosynthesis, light-regulated diurnal responses, and growth regulation. Generally, responses observed during acclimation were reversed within one week of deacclimation. The primary differences between the two winter B. napus varieties with differential deacclimation responses involved protection from oxidative stress and the ability to maintain photosynthesis.
