Chilling is common in nature and can damage most plant species, particularly young leaves and buds. Mulberry (Morus spp.) is an economically important food source for the domesticated silkworm (Bombyx mori). However, weather and climatic extremes, such as "late spring coldness", seriously damage mulberry buds and young leaves. The molecular mechanism involved in the differing mulberry chilling tolerance is unclear. In the present study, we found that mSOD1, mFADII, and mKCS1 interacted with mAKR2A and that the expression of mAKR2A, mSOD, mFAD, and mKCS1 in the chilling-tolerant mulberry variety was higher than that in the chilling-sensitive variety. Unsaturated fatty acids content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the chilling-tolerant variety was higher than that in the chilling-sensitive variety. After chilling treatment, mSOD1, mKCS1 and mAKR2A expression in the chilling-tolerant variety was reduced to lower than that in the chilling-sensitive variety, whereas mFADII expression increased in the chilling-tolerant variety compared with that in the chilling-sensitive variety, suggesting that the increased expression of the molecular chaperon mAKR2A helped to maintain or prompted the chilling-related proteins in the chilling-tolerant variety.

One of the most productive ecosystems in the world, mangroves are susceptible to cold stress. However, there is currently insufficient knowledge of the adaptation mechanisms of mangrove plants in response to chilling stress. This study conducted a comparative analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics to investigate the adaptive responses of (chilling-tolerant) and (chilling-sensitive) to 5 °C.

Rice is sensitive to low temperatures, specifically at the booting stage. Chilling tolerance of rice is a quantitative trait loci that is governed by multiple genes, and thus, its precise identification through the conventional methods is an arduous task. In this study, we investigated the candidate genes related to chilling tolerance at the booting stage of rice.

As one of the abiotic stresses, low temperature severely threatens rice production during its entire growth period, especially during the booting stage. In the present study, transcriptome analysis was performed comparing Longjing (LJ) 25 (chilling-tolerant) and LJ 11 (chilling-sensitive) rice varieties to identify genes associated with chilling tolerance in rice spikelets. A total of 23 845 expressed genes and 13 205 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, respectively.

Cold storage of pomegranates is essential for prolonging postharvest storage and for the implementation of cold-quarantine insect disinfestation treatments required for international trading. However, pomegranates are chilling sensitive; they may develop chilling injuries upon exposure to unfavorable low temperatures. In this mini-review, we summarize molecular data obtained from three different RNA Seq transcriptome analyses of responses of pomegranate fruits to cold storage.
