Project description:In plants, non-coding small RNAs play a vital role for plant development and stress responses. To explore the possible role of non-coding small RNAs in the regulation of the jasmonate (JA) pathway, we compared the non-coding small RNAs between the JA-deficient aos mutant and the JA-treated wild type Arabidopsis via high-throughput sequencing. 30 new miRNAs and 27 new miRNA candidates were identified through a bioinformatics approach. 49 known miRNAs (belonging to 24 families), 15 new miRNAs and new miRNA candidates (belonging to 11 families) and 3 tasiRNA families were induced by JA, whereas 1 new miRNA, 1 tasiRNA family and 22 known miRNAs (belonging to 9 families) were repressed by JA.

Project description:Small RNAs (~20 to 24 nucleotides) function as naturally occurring molecules critical in developmental pathways in plants and animals. Here we analyze small RNA populations from mature rice grain and seedlings by pyrosequencing. Using a clustering algorithm to locate regions producing small RNAs, we classified hotspots of small RNA generation within the genome. Hotspots here are defined as 1 kb regions within which small RNAs are significantly overproduced relative to the rest of the genome. Hotspots were identified to facilitate characterization of different categories of small RNA regulatory elements. Included in the hotspots, we found known members of 23 miRNA families representing 92 genes, one trans acting siRNA (ta-siRNA) gene, novel siRNA-generating coding genes and phased siRNA generating genes. Interestingly, over 20% of the small RNA population in grain came from a single foldback structure, which generated eight phased 21-nt siRNAs. This is reminiscent of a newly arising miRNA derived from duplication of progenitor genes. Our results provide data identifying distinct populations of small RNAs, including phased small RNAs, in mature grain to facilitate characterization of small regulatory RNA expression in monocot species. In an attempt to gain a broader understanding of gene expression in rice grain, we characterized small RNA populations from Oryza sativa spp. japonica cv. Nipponbare utilizing a deep sequencing approach. Small RNA libraries were constructed from three pools of mature, dormant rice grain and three-week post germination seedlings utilizing RNA-adapter mediated ligation. Each of the four libraries were independently sequenced using high-throughput pyrosequencing. We obtained a total of 679,146 sequences from the three rice grain libraries and 257,394 from one rice seedling library.

Project description:MicroRNAs and siRNAs are important regulators of plant development and seed formation, yet their population and abundance in the oil crop Brassica napus are still less understood, especially at different developmental stages and among cultivars with varied seed oil contents. Here, we systematically analyzed the small RNA expression profiles of Brassica napus seeds at early embryonic developmental stages in a high oil content and a low oil content Brassica napus cultivars, both cultured in two environments. A total of 50 conserved miRNAs and 11 new miRNAs were identified, together with some new miRNA targets. Expression analysis revealed some miRNAs with varied expression levels in different seed oil content cultivars or at different embryonic developmental stages. A large amount of 23-nt small RNAs with specific nucleotide composition preference were also identified, which may present new classes of functional small RNAs. Examination of small RNA profiles in 2 different seed oil content rapeseed culvitars at 2 locations.

Project description:Topping is an important cultivating measure for flue-cured tobacco, and many genes had been found to be differentially expressed in response to topping. But it is still unclear how these genes are regulated. MiRNAs play a critical role in post-transcriptional gene regulation, so we sequenced two sRNA libraries from tobacco roots before and after topping, with a view to exploring transcriptional differences in miRNAs.Two sRNA libraries were generated from tobacco roots before and after topping. Solexa high-throughput sequencing of tobacco small RNAs revealed a total of 12,104,207 and 11,292,018 reads representing 3,633,398 and 3,084,102 distinct sequences before and after topping. The expressions of 136 conserved miRNAs (belonging to 32 families) and 126 new miRNAs (belonging to 77 families) were determined. There were three major conserved miRNAs families (nta-miR156, nta-miR172 and nta-miR171) and two major new miRNAs families (nta-miRn2 and nta-miRn26). All of these identified miRNAs can be folded into characteristic miRNA stem-loop secondary hairpin structures, and qRT-PCR was adopted to validate and measure the expression of miRNAs. Putative targets were identified for 133 out of 136 conserved miRNAs and 126 new miRNAs. Of these miRNAs whose targets had been identified, the miRNAs which change markedly (>2 folds) belong to 53 families and their targets have different biological functions including development, response to stress, response to hormone, N metabolism, C metabolism, signal transduction, nucleic acid metabolism and other metabolism. Some interesting targets for miRNAs had been determined. 2 samples examined:roots before and after topping

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding, short, single-stranded RNAs with essential roles in gene regulation in various organisms including higher plants. In contrast to the vast information on miRNAs from many economically important plants, almost nothing has been reported on the identification or analysis of miRNAs from rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis L.), the most important natural rubber-producing crop. To identify miRNAs and their target genes in rubber tree, high throughput sequencing combined with a computational approach was performed. Four small RNA libraries were constructed for deep sequencing from mature and young leaves of two rubber tree clones, PB 260 and PB 217, which provide high and low latex yield, respectively. 237 miRNAs belonging to 37 known miRNA families were identified, and northern hybridization validated miRNA expression and revealed developmental stage-dependent and clone-specific expression for some miRNAs. We took advantage of the newly released rubber tree genome assembly as well as the genomic databases from leafy spurge and cassava, two species related to rubber tree, and predicted 15 novel miRNAs. 4 samples examined: PB260 mature leaves, PB260 young leaves, PB217 mature leaves, and PB217 young leaves.

Project description:Low-oxygen stress associated with natural phenomena such as waterlogging, results in widespread transcriptome changes and a metabolic switch from aerobic respiration to anaerobic fermentation. High-throughput sequencing of small RNA libraries obtained from low-oxygen stressed and control root tissue identified a total of 65 unique microRNA (miRNA) sequences from 46 families, and 14 trans-acting small interfering RNA (tasiRNA) from 3 families. Low-oxygen stress resulted in changes to the abundance of 46 miRNAs from 19 families, and all 3 tasiRNA families. Chemical inhibition of mitochondrial respiration caused similar changes in expression in a majority of the low-oxygen responsive small RNAs analysed. Our data indicate that miRNAs and tasiRNAs play a role in gene regulation and possibly developmental responses to low oxygen, and that a major signal for these responses is likely to be dependent on mitochondrial function.

Project description:Dnmt2 genes are highly conserved tRNA methyltransferases with biological roles in cellular stress responses. The absence of obvious mutant phenotypes under laboratory conditions suggested a function for Dnmt2 under non-physiological conditions. Indeed, Dnmt2 has recently been implicated in various aspects of the cellular stress response and the tRNA methyltransferase activity of Dnmt2 has been shown to interfere with stress-induced fragmentation of various tRNAs. We used adult animals and small RNA sequencing during a heat stress experiment to determine the tRNA fragment abundance and identities in wild-type and Dnmt2 mutant somatic tissues. Dnmt2 mutants produced tRNA fragments with different identities when compared to wild-type controls, indicating the accumulation of non-physiological tRNA-derived molecules in tissues without Dnmt2. 6 samples examined: heterozygous and Dnmt2 mutant under control, heat shock and recovery conditions

Project description:The male sterility of thermosensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) lines of wheat (Triticum aestivum) is strictly controlled by temperature. The early phase of anther development is especially susceptible to cold stress. MicroRNAs (miRNA) play an important role in plant development and in responses to environmental stress. In this study, deep sequencing of small RNA (smRNA) libraries obtained from spike tissues of the TGMS line under cold and control conditions identified a total of 81 unique miRNA sequences from 30 families, and trans-acting small interfering RNAs (tasiRNAs) derived from two TAS3 genes. We identified 26 targets of 16 miRNA families and three targets of tasiRNAs. Comparing smRNA sequencing datasets and TaqMan qPCR results, we identified six miRNAs and one tasiRNA (tasiRNA-ARF) as cold stress-responsive smRNAs in spike tissues of the TGMS line. We also determined the expression profiles of target genes that encode transcription factors in response to cold stress. Interestingly, expressions of cold-stress responsive smRNAs integrated in the auxin-signaling pathway and their target genes were largely anticorrelated. We investigated tissue-specific expression of smRNAs using a tissue microarray approach. Our data indicated that miR167 and tasiRNA-ARF play roles in regulating the auxin-signaling pathway, and possibly in the developmental response to cold stress. These data provide evidence that smRNA regulatory pathways are linked with male sterility in the TGMS line during cold stress.

Project description:Two-week old bread wheat seedlings hydroponically grown Hoagland solution were transferred to potassium (K+)-free conditions for 8 d, their root and leaf proteome profiles were assessed using iTRAQ proteome method, and NCBInr database combined with the recently published bread wheat genome information were used to analyze the identified protein species. Over 4,000 unique proteins were identified, 818 K+-responsive protein species showed significant abundance regulation. The most majority of the identified K+-responsive protein species had exact gene loci, and showed no global but tissue- and chromosome- dependent genome distributions. The identified protein species were associated with diverse functions and exhibited organ-specific differences. Most of identified protein species associated with hormone synthesis were the enzymes involved in the synthesis of jasmonic acid (JA). Allene oxide synthase (AOS), a key JA synthesis-related enzyme, was significantly induced in both root and leaf organs of K+-deficient wheat seedlings, and its overexpression in rice enhanced the tolerance to low K+ or K+ deficiency, increased contents of K+ and JA and transcription levels of some K+-responsive genes. However, rice AOS T-DNA inserted mutant (osaos) exhibited more sensitivity to K+ deficiency. K+ deficiency significantly increased abundance of a high affinity K+ transporter (TaAHAK1), TaAHAK1 transgenic rice seedlings markedly alleviated sensitivity to K+ deficiency, and K+ deficiency also upregulated expression of homologous OsHAK1 gene in TaAOS transgenic rice plants. These results suggested an essential role of JA in K+ deficiency and gave molecular insight into the responses of plant to K+ deficiency.

Project description:To identify blast pathogen elicited miRNAs, four sRNA libraries were constructed: 8749036, A library, susceptible rice cultivar Zhonger-Ruanzhan; 12157795, B library, mock-treated blast resistant line H4; 9937360, C library, blast-treated susceptible rice cultivar Zhonger-Ruanzhan; and 11138187 clean reads, D library, blast-treated blast resistant line H4. The Short Oligonucleotide Analysis Package (SOAP; Beijing Genomics Institute) matched 85.46% (A, 7476714), 79.35% (B, 9647324), 77.70% (C, 7721715) and 76.10% (D, 8476386) sRNA reads to the genome. After removing other RNA categories matched to NCBI Genbank, Rfam database, known rice miRNA precursor, repeat associated RNA and siRNA, the remaining reads: 1681359(A); 3829741(B); 3182403(C); and 3970132(D), were used for further novel miRNA prediction. Since some miRNAs were tissue-specific, time-specific or stress-induced, only 291, 210, 164 and 220 registered miRNAs were identified in libraries A, B, C and D respectively. Thirty-one (A, 9385 reads), 399(B, 41024 read), 351(C, 36622 reads) and 333(D, 38064 reads) unique sRNAs were projected to be candidate miRNAs. Examination of mock-treated rice cultivar, mock-treated blast resistant rice line H4, blast-treated susceptible rice cultivar, and blast-treated blast resistant rice line H4.
