Earth's tilted rotation and translation around the Sun produce pervasive rhythms on our planet, giving rise to photoperiodic changes in diel cycles. Although marine phytoplankton plays a key role in ecosystems, multiomics analysis of its responses to these periodic environmental signals remains largely unexplored. The marine picoalga Ostreococcus tauri was chosen as a model organism due to its cellular and genomic simplicity. Ostreococcus was subjected to different light regimes to investigate its responses to periodic environmental signals: long summer days, short winter days, constant light, and constant dark conditions. Although <
5% of the transcriptome maintained oscillations under both constant conditions, 80% presented diel rhythmicity. A drastic reduction in diel rhythmicity was observed at the proteome level, with 39% of the detected proteins oscillating. Photoperiod-specific rhythms were identified for key physiological processes such as the cell cycle, photosynthesis, carotenoid biosynthesis, starch accumulation, and nitrate assimilation. In this study, a photoperiodic plastic global orchestration among transcriptome, proteome, and physiological dynamics was characterized to identify photoperiod-specific temporal offsets between the timing of transcripts, proteins, and physiological responses.
