Abstract: Understanding the effect of extreme temperatures and elevated air (CO 2 ) is crucial for mitigating the impacts of the coffee industry. In this work, leaf transcriptomic changes were evaluated in the diploid C. canephora and its polyploid C. arabica, grown at 25 ◦ C and at two supra-optimal temperatures (37 ◦ C, 42 ◦ C), under ambient (aCO 2 ) or elevated air CO 2 (eCO 2 ). Both species expressed fewer genes as temperature rose, although a high number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were observed, especially at 42 ◦ C. An enrichment analysis revealed that the two species reacted differently to the high temperatures but with an overall up-regulation of the photosynthetic machinery until 37 ◦ C. Although eCO 2 helped to release stress, 42 ◦ C had a severe impact on both species. A total of 667 photosynthetic and biochemical related-DEGs were altered with high temperatures and eCO 2 , which may be used as key probe genes in future studies. This was mostly felt in C. arabica, where genes related to ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBisCO) activity, chlorophyll a-b binding, and the reaction centres of photosystems I and II were down-regulated, especially under 42 ◦ C, regardless of CO 2 . Transcriptomic changes showed that both species were strongly affected by the highest temperature, although they can endure higher temperatures (37 ◦ C) than previously assumed.

Introduction Temperature and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) are major drivers of climate change affecting global crop production [ 1 – 3 ]. It is therefore not surprising that many crop improvement programs focus on the development of climate-smart crops resilient to climate change [ 4 ]. Yet, breeding for tolerance to a single stress may be risky because in nature plants respond to simultaneous stresses, and increasing tolerance to one stress may be at the expense of resilience to another [ 5 , 6 ]. For instance, high temperatures cause physiological, biochemical, and molecular changes affecting key biological processes, such as photosynthesis, by reducing electron transport, NADPH and ATP synthesis, and ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase Int.

Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2021,22, 3125 2 of 20 (RuBisCO) activity while increasing the production of H 2 O 2 [ 7 – 9 ]. At the other extreme, elevated CO 2 (eCO 2 ) was found to improve the physiological status and to mitigate the adverse effects of high temperatures in different species, increasing photosynthesis in most C3 plants [ 10 – 14 ]. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to identify the response pathways linked to several environmental changes, to best optimize crop improvement under the future estimated climate conditions. Coffee is among the most important agricultural products [ 15 ]. It is produced in about 80 tropical countries, with an annual production of around nine million tons of green beans and is estimated to involve 125 million people in its entire chain of value, with many smallholder farmers whose livelihoods are supported by this crop [ 16 – 18 ]. The Coffea genus comprises at least 125 species, although only two dominate the coffee trade: the allotetraploid C. arabica L. (Arabica coffee; 2n = 4x = 44) and one of its diploid ancestors, C. canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner (Robusta coffee; 2n = 2x = 22), with the former contributing around 60–65% of world production [ 19 ]. Coffea arabica is thought to be originated from a single natural polyploidization event between C. canephora and C. eugenioides that occurred in very recent evolutionary times (<50,000 years ago [ 20 ]). The quite low levels of genetic variation found in C. arabica when compared to its diploid progenitors are a concern in the context of environmental changes regarding the sustainability of this crop [ 20 ]. The predicted increase in global temperature could be catastrophic to C. arabica yields and quality, since some works consider this species more sensitive to elevated temperatures than C. canephora [ 15 ], with impacts being already felt on field plantations [ 21 , 22 ]. In fact, classical studies suggested that coffee photosynthesis would be particularly sensitive to temperatures above 20–25 ◦ C (e.g., [ 23 – 25 ]). It was accepted that temperature averages above 23 ◦ C accelerated the development and ripening of C. arabica fruits, often leading to the loss of coffee quality [ 26 ]. Continuous exposure to temperatures as high as 30 ◦C may restrain growth and can induce abnormalities such as the yellowing of leaves and growth of tumors at the base of the stem [ 27 ]. A relatively high temperature during blossoming, especially if associated with a prolonged dry season, may cause the abortion of flowers [ 26 ]. Nevertheless, selected cultivars under intensive management conditions have allowed C. arabica plantations to be spread to marginal regions with average temperatures as high as 24–25 ◦ C, with satisfactory yields, such as in the northeast of Brazil [ 28 , 29 ]. Furthermore, some experiments reported that if temperature rises gradually (from 24 ◦ C up to 33–35 ◦ C) and considering a sufficiently long acclimation time, C. arabica plants can increase their photosynthesis up to temperatures around 30 ◦ C, displaying the same efficiency as observed at 24 ◦ C [ 28 ]. Also, some genotypes can maintain full photosynthetic functioning at temperatures as high as 35 ◦ C [ 15 ] or even up to 39 ◦ C for a short number of days [ 14 , 30 ]. The maintenance of high photosynthetic efficiency suggests the absence of negative effects on the photosynthetic structures, which agrees to some extent with the absence of membrane permeability changes after a short-time exposure up to 50 ◦ C, as found in C. arabica [ 31 ]. For C. canephora, the optimum annual mean temperature ranges from 22 to 26 ◦ C [ 32 ], or from 24 to 30 ◦ C [ 33 ], but high temperatures can still be harmful, especially if the air is dry [ 34 ]. In this context, several breeding initiatives are being developed to adapt coffee crops to these environmental changes, looking back to genotypes that can be used to develop new resistant varieties while maintaining the highest cup quality ( https://worldcoffeeresearch.org/, accessed on 12 January 2021). In the last 20 years, a considerable amount of research has been devoted to environmental coffee physiology focusing on water relations and drought tolerance mechanisms, but little is still known on the mechanisms of tolerance to unfavorable temperatures, namely transcriptional and metabolic differences in response to warmer temperatures (see [ 35 ]). For instance, it has been observed that in Coffea, eCO 2 promotes a high plant vigor [ 13 ] and even crop yield [ 36 ], while improving tolerance to drought [ 37 – 39 ] and supra-optimal temperatures [ 14 , 37 , 40 , 41 ], with positive impacts on the physical and chemical traits of the coffee beans under supra-optimal temperatures, contributing to preserve its quality [ 42 ]. We previously showed that eCO 2 causes significant changes in the transcriptomic responses
Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2021,22, 3125 3 of 20 of C. arabica and C. canephora, with differentially expressed genes (DEGs) being much more abundant in the diploid than in C. arabica [ 43 ]. Functional analysis also revealed that under eCO 2 ,C. canephora expressed DEGs associated to general biological processes and to a lower extent to abiotic stress responses while C. arabica showed an upregulation of genes linked to plant tolerance, oxidative stress control, aquaporins, reorganization of the lipid matrix membrane, chloroplast/thylakoid organization, and PS II repair. This suggested a protective role of eCO2under stressful conditions. In the present study we explored the transcriptome of C. arabica (cv. Icatu) and C. canephora (cv. Conilon Clone 153) leaves for a thorough understanding of how coffee plants regulate transcriptomic responses to elevated temperatures, and how eCO 2 can mitigate some deleterious effects at the physiological and metabolic level. For this, we have used a comparative approach using two coffee genotypes grown under a control temperature of 25/20 ◦ C (day/night) and then gradually exposed to increased temperatures up to 42/30 ◦ C in combination with ambient CO 2 (aCO 2 : 380 µ L L −1 ) or elevated CO 2 (eCO 2 : 700 µ L L −1 ) air. This analysis is complementary to (and advances) previous studies, in which the plants from these two genotypes showed a temperature tolerance up to 37/28 ◦C [ 30 ], together with an increased photosynthetic potential under eCO 2 [ 43 ], which might contribute to the relief of some negative effects imposed by harsh elevated temperatures. 2. Results 2.1. Overall Transcriptome Profiling and Mapping Statistics Stringent quality assessment and data filtering generated an average of 26.3 million clean reads, from an average 28.3 million raw reads. Overall, a high proportion of reads were aligned to the reference genome since only an average of 3.17% of reads were not mapped (Table S1). Statistical details for each replicate are depicted in Table S1. 2.2. General Patterns of Gene Expression The number of expressed genes varied widely between the control temperature at 25/20 ◦ C (25 ◦ C) and the two different supra-optimal temperatures of 37/28 ◦ C (37 ◦ C) and 42/30 ◦ C (42 ◦ C), either under 380 µ L L −1 aCO 2 or 700 µ L L −1 eCO 2 . Overall, fewer genes were expressed as temperatures increased, especially in combination with eCO 2 where the lowest number of expressed genes was observed (Figure 1A; Table S2). The principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) revealed a stronger transcriptomic response in the two species as a result of the highest temperature (Figure 1B). In fact, PC2 separated all plants under 42 ◦ C in the upper half of the axis from plants under 25 ◦ C and 37 ◦ C that were grouped below this axis (Figure 1B), irrespective of the CO 2 condition and the species involved. PC1 was able to separate and group all Conilon Clone 153 (CL153) plants under 25 ◦ C and 37 ◦ C in the lower right part of this axis, whereas Icatu plants showed a wider variation. However, it seems remarkable that at the highest temperature, the CO 2 condition become determinant with PC1 separating the plants under aCO 2 (left upper quadrant) from those under eCO2(right upper quadrant). 2.3. Differential Gene Expression Changes in Response to Supra-Optimal Temperatures An average of 11,170 and 11,833 DEGs were identified, respectively by DESeq2 and edgeR, with 93.34% identified by both tools. Detailed results of each method are depicted in Table S2. The number of DEGs varied from 9545 (37 ◦ C; eCO 2 ) to 13,134 (42 ◦ C; eCO 2 ) in Icatu and from 8240 (37 ◦ C; aCO 2 ) to 12,115 (42 ◦ C; eCO 2 ) in CL153, being consistently higher at the highest temperature in both species, especially when combined with eCO 2 (Figure 2). Under the same CO 2 , the majority of DEGs were shared between the two supra-optimal temperatures (Figure 2).

( B ) Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) of rlog transformed gene expression data generated by RNA-sequencing. Each treatment contains three biological replicates and is indicated by the colors depicted in A. The percentage of variance is indicated in each axis. Square symbols indicate Icatu, while circles indicate CL153. Detailed information is additionally given in Table S1. In Icatu, 14.6% (eCO 2 ) to 19.9% (aCO 2 ) of DEGs were specific of 37 ◦ C, while 30.0% (aCO 2 ) to 37.9% (eCO 2 ) were specific of 42 ◦ C (Figure 2). As such, a higher number of treatment-specific DEGs were reported with the rise of temperature, especially under eCO 2 where the highest number of DEGs were found (4980). This reflects a very specific response to the highest temperature that was further amplified by eCO2(Figure 2A,B). In comparison, CL153 showed a similar global % of specific DEGs with 14.4% to 16.7% of DEGs being expressed at 37 ◦ C, and 30.8% to 35.0% DEGs at 42 ◦ C (Figure 2), in eCO 2 and aCO 2 plants, respectively. However, although the absolute value of treatment-specific DEGs in CL153 was similar under aCO 2 (3703) and eCO 2 (3735), as temperatures rose its percentage was lower under eCO2than under aCO2(31% vs. 35%) (Figure 2C,D).

Transcriptional patterns among differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two supra-optimal temperatures of 37/28 ◦ C (37 ◦ C) and 42/30 ◦ C (42 ◦ C). Numbers represent the DEGs shared between treatments (blue), specific for 37 ◦ C (yellow) and specific for 42 ◦ C (orange), found in plants of Icatu (A,B) and CL153 (C,D) grown under 380 µL L−1aCO2or 700 µL L−1eCO2. The number of upand down-regulated DEGs in plants at 37 ◦ C and 42 ◦ C was nearly the same in both genotypes, except at 42 ◦ C in eCO 2 where DEGs were predominantly up-regulated in Icatu (Figure 3). The expression profiles of specific DEGs were particularly influenced by the highest temperature, especially in Icatu which displayed a higher degree of variation (Figure 4). By contrast, the expression profile of the two genotypes exhibited a small differentiation at 37 ◦C. Figure 3.

Hot colors represent up-regulated DEGs and cold colors represent down-regulated DEGs. Column color labels group comparisons by temperature treatments (yellow: 37 ◦C; orange: 42 ◦C). 2.4. Significantly Enriched GO Terms of Responsive DEGs in the Two Genotypes In both species, an average of 74% of DEGs were annotated with gene ontology (GO) terms using the functional annotation of the reference genome of C. canephora (Table S3). Temperature increase had a negative effect on enriched GO terms, especially under eCO2. Up-regulated DEGs at 37 ◦ C showed more enriched GO terms than at 42 ◦ C, under both CO 2 conditions (Figure 5A; Table S4). Within the same temperature treatment, eCO 2 triggered more enriched GO terms than aCO 2 . The most enriched GO term (almost 300 genes) was related to molecular functions (RNA binding, GO:0003723) and was found only at 42 ◦ C in eCO 2 . The remaining were less enriched categories with a predominance of GO terms related to photosynthesis (GO:0015979), thylakoid (GO:0009579), photosystem (GO:0009521), photosynthesis, light reaction (GO:0019684), and chlorophyll binding (GO:0016168) found only at 37 ◦ C. Up-regulated DEGs in 42 ◦ C Icatu plants were also enriched for heat shock protein binding (GO:0031072) but only under aCO 2 . In fact, at 42 ◦C in eCO2there was an enrichment in the folding and binding of proteins.

Significantly (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.01) enriched gene ontology (GO) terms among up-regulated ( A ) and down-regulated ( B ) differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in Icatu and CL153 were ranked by increasing log 2 fold change (FC), considering the effect of supra-optimal temperatures at 37/28 ◦ C (37 ◦ C), and 42/30 ◦ C (42 ◦ C) in plants grown in 380 µ L L −1 aCO 2 or 700 µ L L −1 eCO 2 . The absence of a treatment in the figure indicates that no enriched GO terms were found. GO terms are grouped by the main categories: biological process (GO:BP), molecular function (GO:MF), and cellular component (GO:CC). Counts indicate the number of DEGs annotated with each GO term and dots are colored by temperature treatment. Down-regulated DEGs featured 37 enriched categories (17 in Icatu and 20 in CL153), although all with a very small number of gene counts (Figure 5B; Table S5). At 37 ◦ C, down-regulated DEGs showed almost no enriched categories under aCO 2 while under
Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2021,22, 3125 8 of 20 eCO 2 , Icatu and especially CL153 showed an enrichment in general activities as for instance, oxidoreductase activity acting on paired donors with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen (GO:0016705). At 42 ◦ C in aCO 2 , down-regulated DEGs linked with microtubule motor activity (GO:0003777) and microtubule binding (GO:0008017) were highly enriched in Icatu while CL153 showed an enrichment in the molecular functions related to transporter activity. In this supra-optimal temperature, eCO 2 triggered less enriched categories: Icatu plants were mostly enriched in two biological processes, the secondary metabolic process (GO:0019748), and the lignin catabolic process (GO:0046274), while CL153 plants showed an enrichment in the molecular functions linked to calcium ion binding (GO:0005509), xyloglucan:xyloglucosyl transferase activity (GO:0016762), sulfotransferase activity (GO:0008146), and oxidoreductase activity, acting on diphenols and related substances as donors, oxygen as an acceptor (GO:0016682). 2.5. Effect of Supra-Optimal Temperatures and eCO2on Photosynthetic and Other Biochemical-Related Responsive DEGs A total of 667 responsive DEGs associated with photosynthesis and other important metabolic functions in coffee leaves (e.g., antioxidant mechanisms, lipids, and respiratory pathways) were found in the two genotypes: 180 directly related with the photosynthetic pathway (122 to photosynthesis, 49 to the chlorophyll metabolic process, 9 to RuBisCO activity), 73 to antioxidant activities, 123 to lipid metabolism, and 291 directly related with the respiratory pathway (170 to cellular respiration, 30 to malate dehydrogenase activity, and 91 to pyruvate kinase activity) (Table S6). Fold changes of these DEGs varied widely but the most extreme values were always found at 42 ◦C. Overall, a similar number of photosynthetic DEGs were found in the two genotypes as a response to supra-optimal temperatures although with contrasting levels of expression. These DEGs were mostly up-regulated at 37 ◦ C but down-regulated at 42 ◦ C in Icatu (Figure 6A), while the majority were up-regulated in CL153 (Figures 6B and 7). The same pattern was found for DEGs involved in the chlorophyll metabolic process (Figures 6and 7) . In comparison, DEGs linked to RuBisCO activity were mostly down-regulated in Icatu plants under 42 ◦ C independently of CO 2 , while in CL153 they were always up-regulated (Figures 6and 7). More than half of the photosynthesis DEGs were involved in binding activities (Table S6). Notably, under 42 ◦ C and independently of the CO 2 conditions, DEGs related to the reaction centres of photosystems (PSs) I and II were down-regulated in Icatu, contrary to CL153 where they were up-regulated. Under these extreme conditions, Icatu also repressed genes involved in chlorophyll a-b binding and most PsbQ and PsbP genes, contrary to CL153 where they were generally up-regulated (Table S6). The remaining categories were mostly down-regulated, especially at 42 ◦ C under eCO 2 although differences were still found between the two genotypes (Figure 6A,B). For instance, DEGs involved in antioxidant activities and lipid metabolism were always more down-regulated in Icatu except at 37 ◦ C in eCO 2 , while in CL153 those DEGs were always up-regulated at 37 ◦ C, independently of CO 2 (Figure 6A,B). Overall, in Icatu plants under both CO 2 conditions, the number of up-regulated DEGs involved in cellular respiration was higher in 37 ◦ C plants than in the 42 ◦ C plants. In CL153, a high number of upregulated DEGs were found, but only in 37 ◦ C plants under aCO 2 . DEGs involved in pyruvate kinase (PK) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activity (involved in glycolysis) were mostly down-regulated in all treatments, except for MDH in 37 ◦ C-CL153 plants under aCO2.
