Abstract:

Flooding due to extreme weather threatens crops and ecosystems. To understand variation in gene regulatory networks activated by submergence,we conducted a high-resolution analysis of chromatin accessibility and gene expression at three scales of transcript control in four angiosperms, ranging from a dryland-adapted wild species to a wetland crop. The data define a cohort of conserved submergence-activated genes with signatures of overlapping cis-regulation by four transcription factor families. Syntenic genes are more highly expressed than nonsyntenic genes, yet both can have the cismotifs and chromatin accessibility associated with submergence up-regulation. Whereas the flexible circuitry spans the eudicot-monocot divide, the frequency of specific cis-motifs, extent of chromatin accessibility, and the degree of submergence activation is more prevalent in thewetland crop andmay have adaptive importance.
