This study investigated the effect of the circadian clock on physiological and transcriptional networks in Ulmus pumila seedlings under salt stress. The results showed that the circadian clock is closely related to photosynthesis, thiamine metabolism, abscisic acid synthesis and metabolism, and the hormone-MAPK signal crosstalk pathway.
Despite the important role the circadian clock plays in numerous critical physiological responses in plants, such as hypocotyl elongation, leaf movement, stomatal opening, flowering, and stress responses, there have been no investigations into the effect of the circadian clock on physiological and transcriptional networks under salt stress. Ulmus pumila L. has been reported to tolerate 100-150 mM NaCl treatment. We measured the diurnal variation in photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and performed a time-course transcriptome analysis of 2-years-old U. pumila seedlings under salt treatment to dissect the physiological regulation and potential relationship between the circadian network and the salt stress response. Seedlings in 150 mM NaCl treatment exhibited salt-induced physiological enhancement compared to the control group. A total of 7009 differentially expressed unigenes (DEGs) were identified under salt stress, of which 16 DEGs were identified as circadian rhythm-related DEGs (crDEGs). Further analysis of dynamic expression changes revealed that DEGs involved in four crucial pathways-photosynthesis, thiamine metabolism, abscisic acid synthesis and metabolism, and the hormone-MAPK signal crosstalk pathway-are closely related to the circadian clock. Finally, we constructed a co-expression network between the circadian clock and these four crucial pathways. Our results help shed light on the molecular link between the circadian network and salt stress tolerance in U. pumila.
