ABSTRACT
Cryopreservation approaches have been implemented in gene banks as a strategy to back up plant genetic resource collections that are vegetatively propagated. Different strategies have been employed to effectively cryopreserve plant tissue. There is little information on the cellular processes and molecular adjustments that confer resilience to the multiple stresses imposed during a cryoprotocol. In the present work, the cryobionomics of banana (Musa sp.), a non-model species, was investigated through the transcriptomic approach using RNA-Seq. Proliferating meristems of in vitro explants (Musa AAA cv 'Borjahaji') were cryopreserved using the droplet-vitrification technique. Transcriptome profiling analysis of eight cDNA libraries including the bio-replicates for T0 (stock cultures (control tissue), T1 (high sucrose pre-cultured), T2 (vitrification solution-treated) and T3 (liquid nitrogen-treated) meristem tissues was carried out. The raw reads obtained were mapped with a Musa acuminata reference genome sequence. A total of 70 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) comprising 34 upregulated and 36 downregulated were identified in all three phases as compared to control (T0). Among the significant DEGs (>log FC 2.0), during sequential steps, 79 in T1, 3 in T2 and the 4 in T3 were upregulated and 122 in T1, 5 in T2 and 9 in T3 were downregulated. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis showed that these significant DEGs were involved in the upregulation of biological process (BP-170), cellular component (CC-10) and molecular function (MF-94) and downregulation of biological process (BP-61), cellular component (CC-3) and molecular function (MF-56). The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis showed that DEGs were involved in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, MAPK signaling, EIN 3-lke 1 protein, 3-ketoacy-CoA synthase 6-like, and fatty acid elongation during cryopreservation. For the first time, a comprehensive transcript profiling during four stages of cryopreservation in banana were carried out, which will pave the way for devising an effective cryopreservation protocol.
