Potential link between biotic defense activation and recalcitrance to induction of somatic embryogenesis in shoot primordia from adult trees of white spruce (Picea glauca)

ABSTRACT: The goal is to examine the molecular aspects underpinning somatic embryogenesis (SE) within shoot tissues of adult white spruce trees by conducting transcriptome-wide expression profiling of shoot explants taken from responsive and nonresponsive genotypes. One-color analysis of vegetative buds in somatic embryogenesis responsive and nonresponsive genotypes, before and after 7 days of SE induction. There are 5 biological replicates for each of the 4 combinations of genotype/time of induction for a total of 20 slides. Each replicate is comprised of a pool of 6 buds.

<h4>Background</h4>Among the many commercial opportunities afforded by somatic embryogenesis (SE), it is the ability to clonally propagate individual plants with rare or elite traits that has some of the most significant implications. This is particularly true for many long-lived species, such as conifers, but whose long generation times pose substantive challenges, including increased recalcitrance for SE as plants age. Identification of a clonal line of somatic embryo-derived trees whose shoot ...[more]

A natural expression variant reveals a novel mechanism of insect resistance in boreal forest trees.

Project description:We report the discovery of a beta-glucosidase gene (PgM-NM-2glu-1) whose expression underpins natural resistance to a major forest pest, the spruce budworm (SBW) in white spruce (Picea glauca (Voss.) Moench). We performed a microarray experiment to compare resistant (R) and non-resistant (N-R) trees. PgM-NM-2glu-1 transcripts levels uniquely were up to 1000 times higher in phenotypically resistant trees and correlated with accumulation of acetophenones compounds that reduce SBW development. These resistance traits were heritable, temporally correlated with the emergence of the most damaging larval stages and were highly variable in the natural population across a large geographic area. The recombinant gene product specifically catalyzed the release of biologically active acetophenones from their glucoside precursors. SBW outbreaks have become more frequent and intense; therefore, the phenotypic diversity resulting from variation in PgM-NM-2glu-1 expression may be a key for the adaptability of spruce populations. Transcriptome profiling was carried out with needles from 7 resistant and 7 non-resistant trees (harvested on June 17th, 2010), and 3 samples per tree (n=42) with a custom microarray developed for spruce species and comprising oligonucleotide probes for 23,853 unique P. glauca gene sequences (Raherison et al., 2012).

Direct measurement of heritable gene expression within single individuals from wild populations.

Project description:Heritable variation in gene expression has been largely studied in model organisms by taking advantage of pure and inbred lines. Comparative studies on organisms with contrasting evolutionary history, population size and genome architecture have been hindered by practical considerations, as many of these species are poorly suited for breeding. We have developed a method for determining expression variation in an undomesticated tree species by directly measuring the segregation of gene expression in the haploid meiotic products of a single diploid individual. We show the utility of our approach by identifying expression variation that segregates consistent with one causal variant and identify an unexpectedly large number of these Mendelian expression traits. The megagametophyte approach opens the doors for the application of genetical genomics approaches in a large number of undomesticated plant species. Transcriptomics data from 18 megagametophytes of two unrelated mother trees. In tree 80112, all of the 18 megagametophytes were analyzed on to different microarrays with two different dyes. In tree 77111, 16 megagametophytes were replicated as above.

PgGenExpress database of transcription profiles

Project description:A small database of transcription profiles called PgGenExpress was developed from over 150 hybridizations spanning eight major tissue types. In total, transcripts were detected for 92% of the genes on the microarray, in at least one tissue. Non-annotated genes were predominantly expressed at low levels in fewer tissues than genes of known or predicted function. Diversity of expression within gene families may be rapidly assessed from PgGenExpress. In conifer trees, dehydrins and late embryogenesis (LEA) osmotic regulation proteins occur in large gene families compared to angiosperms. Strong contrasts and low diversity was observed in the dehydrin family, while diverse patterns suggested a greater degree of diversification among LEAs. This is a one-color meta-analysis of tissues from 5 separate experiments. There are 8 different tissue types. Each tissue is represented by a variable number of slides, each slide being a biological repetition, for a total of 149 slides.
