摘要： Maize (Zea mays L.) is a thermophilic plant and a minor drop in temperature can prolong the maturity period. Plants respond to cold stress through structural and functional modification in cell membranes as well as changes in the photosynthesis and energy metabolism. In order to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying cold tolerance and adaptation, we employed leaf transcriptome sequencing together with leaf microstructure and relative electrical conductivity measurements in two maize inbred lines, having different cold stress tolerance potentials. The leaf physiological and transcriptomic responses of maize seedlings were studied after growing both inbred lines at 5 degrees C for 0, 12 and 24 h. Differentially expressed genes were enriched in photosynthesis antenna proteins, MAPK signaling pathway, plant hormone signal transduction, circadian rhythm, secondary metabolites related pathways, ribosome, and proteasome. The seedlings of both genotypes employed common stress responsive pathways to respond to cold stress. However, the cold tolerant line B144 protected its photosystem II from photooxidation by upregulating D1 proteins. The sensitive line Q319 was unable to close its stomata. Collectively, B144 exhibited a cold tolerance owing to its ability to mediate changes in stomata opening as well as protecting photosystem. These results increase our understanding on the cold stress tolerance in maize seedlings and propose multiple key regulators of stress responses such as modifications in photosystem II, stomata guard cell opening and closing, changes in secondary metabolite biosynthesis, and circadian rhythm. This study also presents the signal transduction related changes in MAPK and phytohormone signaling pathways in response to cold stress during seedling stage of maize.
