Functional plasticity of duplicate genes is believed to play a major role in the environmental adaptation of polyploids. In this context, we characterized genome-wide homoeologous gene expression in Coffea arabica, a recent allopolyploid combining two subgenomes that derive from two closely related diploid species, and investigated its variation in response to changing environment. The transcriptome of leaves of C. arabica cultivated at different growing temperatures suitable for one or the other parental species was examined using RNA-sequencing. The relative contribution of homoeologs to gene expression was estimated for 9959 and 10 628 genes in warm and cold conditions, respectively. Whatever the growing conditions, 65% of the genes showed equivalent levels of homoeologous gene expression. In 92% of the genes, relative homoeologous gene expression varied < 10% between growing temperatures. The subgenome contributions to the transcriptome appeared to be only marginally altered by the different conditions (involving intertwined regulations of homeologs) suggesting that C. arabica's ability to tolerate a broader range of growing temperatures than its diploid parents does not result from differential use of homoeologs. specialized adaptation cis trans-regulation coffee (Coffea arabica) homoeologous gene expression polyploidy RNA-sequencing transcriptome 076 020 200 1 251-260 2013 1469-8137 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010060579 10.1111/nph.12371 1469-8137 [F B010060579] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010060579 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2013/09/010060579.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2013-10-02 2017-08-23 fdi:010060579 fre
