Vaughan Hurry standing infront of a tree.

Our primary research goal is to identify the key adaptive mechanisms that result in short- and long-term acquisition of abiotic stress tolerance. To address this, our research currently has two main themes: 1) how are environmental "signals" sensed and, in turn, converted into a genetic response, and 2) how is primary metabolism modulated in response to fluctuations in growth temperature. The outcomes from this research are being applied to developing new tools for increased stress tolerance in herbaceous crops and forest plantation species and to studies of how we can incorporate understanding of acclimation of primary metabolism into global circulation models.

One of the key questions on the international research agenda today is how various biotope, natural and cultivated, will respond to the changes to the environment resulting from human activities. Plant carbon metabolism plays a crucial role in determining the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and the mean annual temperature of the earth's surface. Each year, photosynthetic carbon assimilation removes ca. 120 gigatonnes (Gt) of carbon from the atmosphere, with much of this carbon being used by heterotrophic organisms (i.e. animals, fungi, and bacteria).

Two octagonal transparent plastic tents set up in a forest.Scaling up from laboratory based experiments to ecosystem – level responses can be facilitated by studies in intact systems. The experiment shown is from the CANIFLEX project where the fate of carbon taken up by the forest was tracked through the trees and the soil bioa and back to the atmosphere using stableisotopes. The impacts of environmental changes, such as altering nitrogen availability, could then be studied at different trophic levels within the intact forest stand. This large scale, multiyear study was carried out together with colleagues from UPSC (T. Näsholm) and SLU (P. Högberg and S. Linder).

In addition, plants return ca. 60 Gt carbon per year to the atmosphere via respiration when producing the energy and carbon intermediates necessary for biosynthesis and cellular maintenance. This is a very large flux compared with the ca. 8 Gt carbon per year released from the burning of fossil fuels. Thus, fundamental metabolic processes such as photosynthesis and respiration play a critical role in determining a wide range of ecological phenomena, from the productivity of individual plants, species fitness, particular environments, and the resulting species composition of particular biotopes. Understanding such processes, and how they respond to environmental perturbations, provides insight into the underlying mechanisms that will drive future phenotypic replacements in response to climate change. Growth temperature is one of the most important climate parameters that impacts on the global fluxes through these C-assimilatory and C-emission pathways.

For example, as part of the thermal acclimation process (i.e. adjustment in the rate of metabolism to compensate for a change in growth temperature), cold-grown leaves exhibit higher transcript and activity levels of photosynthetic and sucrose synthesis enzymes, accompanied by increased capacity of mitochondrial electron transport than their warm-grown counterparts. As a result, sustained exposure to low growth temperatures typically results in an increase in the rate of assimilation and respiration at low temperatures. Given the predicted increase in the annual mean temperature of the Earth's surface, a major challenge for plant ecology and climate-vegetation modelling is identifying whether sustained changes in growth temperature will systematically alter the leaf-trait scaling relationships linking assimilation and respiration to leaf mass to area ratio and nitrogen concentrations.

To answer this challenge, a far better understanding of the responses of organellar functions to fluctuations in environmental inputs (e.g. temperature, water and nutrients) is required. We have shown that incorporating acclimation into the predictive models results in significant regional effects on the prevalence of different functional groups in different biomes. For example, it alters the predictions of the abundance of needle trees in the boreal forest zone relative to broad-leafed trees. Such changes will have very significant consequences for major industries such as Sweden's forest industry and consequently for the national economy. Our future research will develop additional data sets to incorporate acclimation to temperature,variations in response to altered soil nutritional status, rainfall, etc. to improve the predictive capacity of climate models.

            ABSTRACT
            
              The health, growth, and fitness of boreal forest trees are impacted and improved by their associated microbiomes. Microbial gene expression and functional activity can be assayed with RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data from host samples. In contrast, phylogenetic marker gene amplicon sequencing data are used to assess taxonomic composition and community structure of the microbiome. Few studies have considered how much of this structural and taxonomic information is included in transcriptomic data from matched samples. Here, we described fungal communities using both host-derived RNA-Seq and fungal ITS1 DNA amplicon sequencing to compare the outcomes between the methods. We used a panel of root and needle samples from the coniferous tree species
              Picea abies
              (Norway spruce) growing in untreated (nutrient-deficient) and nutrient-enriched plots at the Flakaliden forest research site in boreal northern Sweden. We show that the relationship between samples and alpha and beta diversity indicated by the fungal transcriptome is in agreement with that generated by the ITS data, while also identifying a lack of taxonomic overlap due to limitations imposed by current database coverage. Furthermore, we demonstrate how metatranscriptomics data additionally provide biologically informative functional insights. At the community level, there were changes in starch and sucrose metabolism, biosynthesis of amino acids, and pentose and glucuronate interconversions, while processing of organic macromolecules, including aromatic and heterocyclic compounds, was enriched in transcripts assigned to the genus
              Cortinarius

A deeper understanding of microbial communities associated with plants is revealing their importance for plant health and productivity. RNA extracted from plant field samples represents the host and other organisms present. , ABSTRACT The health, growth, and fitness of boreal forest trees are impacted and improved by their associated microbiomes. Microbial gene expression and functional activity can be assayed with RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data from host samples. In contrast, phylogenetic marker gene amplicon sequencing data are used to assess taxonomic composition and community structure of the microbiome. Few studies have considered how much of this structural and taxonomic information is included in transcriptomic data from matched samples. Here, we described fungal communities using both host-derived RNA-Seq and fungal ITS1 DNA amplicon sequencing to compare the outcomes between the methods. We used a panel of root and needle samples from the coniferous tree species Picea abies (Norway spruce) growing in untreated (nutrient-deficient) and nutrient-enriched plots at the Flakaliden forest research site in boreal northern Sweden. We show that the relationship between samples and alpha and beta diversity indicated by the fungal transcriptome is in agreement with that generated by the ITS data, while also identifying a lack of taxonomic overlap due to limitations imposed by current database coverage. Furthermore, we demonstrate how metatranscriptomics data additionally provide biologically informative functional insights. At the community level, there were changes in starch and sucrose metabolism, biosynthesis of amino acids, and pentose and glucuronate interconversions, while processing of organic macromolecules, including aromatic and heterocyclic compounds, was enriched in transcripts assigned to the genus Cortinarius .

	abstract = {The circadian clock synchronizes a wide range of biological processes with the day/night cycle, and correct circadian regulation is essential for photosynthetic activity and plant growth. We describe here a mechanism where a plastid signal converges with the circadian clock to fine-tune the regulation of nuclear gene expression in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Diurnal oscillations of tetrapyrrole levels in the chloroplasts contribute to the regulation of the nucleus-encoded transcription factors C-REPEAT BINDING FACTORS (CBFs).

The circadian clock synchronizes a wide range of biological processes with the day/night cycle, and correct circadian regulation is essential for photosynthetic activity and plant growth. We describe here a mechanism where a plastid signal converges with the circadian clock to fine-tune the regulation of nuclear gene expression in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Diurnal oscillations of tetrapyrrole levels in the chloroplasts contribute to the regulation of the nucleus-encoded transcription factors C-REPEAT BINDING FACTORS (CBFs). The plastid signal triggered by tetrapyrrole accumulation inhibits the activity of cytosolic HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN90 and, as a consequence, the maturation and stability of the clock component ZEITLUPE (ZTL). ZTL negatively regulates the transcription factor LONG HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5) and PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR5 (PRR5). Thus, low levels of ZTL result in a HY5- and PRR5-mediated repression of CBF3 and PRR5-mediated repression of CBF1 and CBF2 expression. The plastid signal thereby contributes to the rhythm of CBF expression and the downstream COLD RESPONSIVE expression during day/night cycles. These findings provide insight into how plastid signals converge with, and impact upon, the activity of well-defined clock components involved in circadian regulation.

	abstract = {The effects of short-term cold stress and long-term cold acclimation on the light reactions of photosynthesis were examined in vivo to assess their contributions to photosynthetic acclimation to low temperature in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh.. All photosynthetic measurements were made at the temperature of exposure: 23 °C for non-acclimated plants and 5 °C for cold-stressed and cold-acclimated plants. Three-day cold-stress treatments at 5 °C inhibited light-saturated rates of CO2 assimilation and O2 evolution by approximately 75\%. The 3-day exposure to 5 °C also increased the proportion of reduced QA by 50\%, decreased the yield of PSII electron transport by 65\% and decreased PSI activity by 31\%. In contrast, long-term cold acclimation resulted in a strong but incomplete recovery of light-saturated photosynthesis at 5 °C. The rates of light-saturated CO2 and O2 gas exchange and the in vivo yield of PSII activity under light-saturating conditions were only 35–40\% lower, and the relative redox state of QA only 20\% lower, at 5 °C after cold acclimation than in controls at 23 °C.

The effects of short-term cold stress and long-term cold acclimation on the light reactions of photosynthesis were examined in vivo to assess their contributions to photosynthetic acclimation to low temperature in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh.. All photosynthetic measurements were made at the temperature of exposure: 23 °C for non-acclimated plants and 5 °C for cold-stressed and cold-acclimated plants. Three-day cold-stress treatments at 5 °C inhibited light-saturated rates of CO2 assimilation and O2 evolution by approximately 75%. The 3-day exposure to 5 °C also increased the proportion of reduced QA by 50%, decreased the yield of PSII electron transport by 65% and decreased PSI activity by 31%. In contrast, long-term cold acclimation resulted in a strong but incomplete recovery of light-saturated photosynthesis at 5 °C. The rates of light-saturated CO2 and O2 gas exchange and the in vivo yield of PSII activity under light-saturating conditions were only 35–40% lower, and the relative redox state of QA only 20% lower, at 5 °C after cold acclimation than in controls at 23 °C. PSI activity showed full recovery during long-term cold acclimation. Neither short-term cold stress nor long-term cold acclimation of Arabidopsis was associated with a limitation in ATP, and both treatments resulted in an increase in the ATP/NADPH ratio. This increase in ATP/NADPH was associated with an inhibition of PSI cyclic electron transport but there was no apparent change in the Mehler reaction activity in either cold-stressed or cold-acclimated leaves. Cold acclimation also resulted in an increase in the reduction state of the stroma, as indicated by an increased total activity and activation state of NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase, and increased light-dependent activities of the major regulatory enzymes of the oxidative pentose-phosphate pathway.

Vaughan Hurry som står framför ett träd

Stora utmaningar ligger framför oss när vi måste minska mängden utsläpp av växthusgaser för att bromsa klimatförändringarna samtidigt som jordens befolkning ökar. Framtidens jord- och skogsbruk kommer att kräva ökade uttag från odlingsarealer som redan i vissa områden är maximerade. Dessutom går stora arealer förlorade årligen på grund av stresskador orsakade av exempelvis kyla.

Skördeförluster orsakade av stress kommer att öka vid en klimatförändring som medför större nyckfullhet och svängningar i väderleken. För att minska förlusterna och därmed öka avkastningen krävs en större förståelse för de komponenter som är involverade i växters stressrespons.

I vår forskning vill vi förstå hur växter känner av förändringar i miljön och hur växterna använder den informationen för att förändra genuttryck och initiera anpassningsmekanismer. Vi studerar även i detalj hur växternas metabolism påverkas under förändrade odlingsbetingelser. Genom att identifiera de nyckelkomponenter som ger ökad härdighet kan dessa utnyttjas vid förädlingsarbete av jordbruksgrödor och skogsträd. Våra resultat är även av stor betydelse för att ta fram korrekta parametrar till vegetations– och klimatmodeller.
