DNA methylation variation in Arabidopsis has a genetic basis and appears to be involved in local adaptation

ABSTRACT: Here we investigate DNA methylation variation in Swedish Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, demonstrating that methylation of transposable elements is temperature sensitive and associated with genetic polymorphism in both cis and trans, whereas gene body methylation is highly correlated with climate of origin and associated with genetic polymorphism in trans that shows evidence of local adaptation. While genome-wide surveys of naturally occurring DNA methylation have been published previously, the degree of genetic control revealed here is unprecedented. Furthermore, the observation that DNA methylation is associated with climate, and is apparently adaptively important, is completely novel.

DNA methylation variation in Arabidopsis has a genetic basis and appears to be involved in local adaptation

Project description:We investigated DNA methylation variation in Swedish Arabidopsis thaliana accessions. We found that methylation of transposable elements is temperature sensitive and associated with genetic polymorphism in both cis and trans, whereas gene body methylation is associated with genetic polymorphism in trans. Additionally, complementary RNA-Seq data for the Arabidopsis accessions were used to correlate methylation changes with gene expression across environments. mRNA-sequencing (mRNA-Seq) of 160 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions grown at 10 C and 163 grown at 16 C. The source tissue for RNA collection was whole rosette at the 9-leaf stage.

Population epigenomics of Swedish Arabidopsis

Project description:Plants display remarkable developmental and phenotypic plasticity in order to adapt to their environment. It has long been postulated that epigenetics plays a key role in these processes, but with one or two exceptions, solid evidence for the role of epigenetic variation in these processes is lacking. A key impediment to understanding these processes is the lack of information on the extent of epigenetic variation and how it relates to genetic and phenotypic variation in natural population, both over the lifecycle of an individual, and over evolutionary time. Here we show that genetic variants under selection in the north of Sweden appear to drive variation in DNA methylation, which in turn is highly correlated with local climate. Selective sweeps and genetic variants associated with adaptation to the local environment have previously been identified within the Swedish Arabidopsis population. Our finding that they harbour variants responsible for climate associated epigenetic variation strongly supports the role of epigenetic processes in local adaptation. These findings provide a basis for further dissecting the role of epigenetics in local adaptation at the molecular level Bisulfite sequencing of 113 F2 crosses between T550 and Brosarp-11-135.

Patterns of Population Epigenomic Diversity in Arabidopsis thaliana (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Natural epigenetic variation provides a source for the generation of phenotypic diversity, but to understand its contribution to phenotypic diversity, its interaction with genetic variation requires further investigation. Here, we report population-wide DNA sequencing of genomes, transcriptomes, and methylomes of wild Arabidopsis thaliana accessions. Single cytosine methylation polymorphisms are unlinked to genotype. However, the rate of linkage disequilibrium decay amongst differentially methylated regions targeted by RNA-directed DNA methylation is similar to the rate for single nucleotide polymorphisms. Association analyses of these RNA-directed DNA methylation regions with genetic variants identified 2,372 methylQTL, which revealed the first population estimate of genetically dependent methylation variation. Analysis of invariably methylated transposons and genes across this population indicates that loci targeted by RNA-directed DNA methylation are epigenetically reactivated during male gametogenesis, which facilitates their silencing across generations.

Transcriptional response to UV treatment in several Arabidopsis thaliana accessions

Project description:UV radiation is a ubiquitous component of solar radiation that affects plant growth and development. Analysis of natural variation in response to UV radiation revealed significant differences among natural accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana. However, the genetic basis of this is to a large extent unknown. Here, we analyzed the response of Arabidopsis accessions to UV radiation stress by performing RNA-sequencing of three UV sensitive and three UV resistant accessions. The genome-wide transcriptional analysis revealed a large number of genes significantly up- or down-regulated only in sensitive or only in resistant accessions, respectively. Mutant analysis of few selected candidate genes suggested by the RNA-sequencing results indicate a connection between UV radiation stress and plant-pathogen-like defense responses.

Genetic and environmental contribution to DNA methylation in intercross populations in Arabiodopsis thaliana

Project description:DNA methylation is one of the important epigenetic marks conserved across both plants and animals. Recent work in Arabidopsis thaliana has demonstrated the existence of large geographic variation in DNA methylation, which must reflect genetic differences and/or an epigenetic memory of local environments. Here we investigate the cause of these differences in a genetic cross between a southern Swedish line with low DNA methylation and a northern Swedish line with high DNA methylation, carried out at two different temperatures. Using bisulfite-sequencing data with nucleotide-level resolution on hundreds of individuals, we find genetic and environmental factors regulating DNA methylation variation.

Allele-specific expression in A. thaliana hybrids grown under control and drought stress conditions

Project description:We estimate Allele-specific expression in F1 hybrids between Col-0 and Cvi-0 accessions grown under well watered and drought stress conditions. We found that ~90% of the genes showed similar ASE under both stresses. Trans-effects were less robust across environments, however its effect was milder compared to cis-variation.

Transcriptomes for hybrids (F1s) between 18 Arabidopsis thaliana parents of the Multiparent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross (MAGIC) genetic mapping resource

Project description:We produced RNA-Seq reads from messenger RNA isolated from aerial seedling tissue for 9 hybrids (F1s) generated by crossing in a pairwise manner 18 of the founding accessions (inbred strains) of the Multiparent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross (MAGIC) genetic mapping resource for Arabidopsis thaliana (see Gan et al. 2011. Nature, 477:419-23 for a description of the MAGIC genetic mapping resource). The resulting RNA-Seq data provides a resource to assess allele-specific gene expression between A. thaliana accessions. With 18 of the MAGIC parental inbred accessions (Bur-0, Can-0, Col-0, Ct-1, Edi-0, Hi-0, Kn-0, Ler-0, Mt-0, No-0, Oy-0, Rsch-4, Sf-2, Tsu-0, Wil-2, Ws-0, Wu-0, and Zu-0) crosses were performed to generate 9 sets of F1 progeny from which RNA was extracted with biological replication (three replicates) and for which mRNA-seq was performed to generate strand-specific reads. Library construction and sequencing was performed such that each set of biological replicates were sequenced as a pool (with 9-plex barcoding; each 9-plex was run on two HiSeq lanes).
