Transcriptomic profiling of immature tomato fruits grown hydroponically under high salt, low-phosphate and their combination

ABSTRACT: Gene expression changes in developing tomato fruits in response to high salinity, low-phosphate conditions, and their combination were analyzed under hydroponic cultivation. RNA was extracted from pericarp tissue of fruits at 5 and 15 days after pollination, and gene expression profiles were compared by RNA-seq.

Project description:Purpose: Many studies have demonstrated that ZFPs have important functions in many biological processes, including plant growth and development, stress response, and phytohormone response. RanBP2-type zinc finger transcription factors have been characterized in animals and humans. However, their functions remain largely unknown in plants. Therefore, the functions of RanBP ZFPs in plants need further study to shed new insights into the importance of these transcription factors in developmental processes. Methods: The transcriptomes of between overexpression of SlRBZ transgenic and wild-type tomato by RNA-seq analysis were evaluated using the Illumina HiSeqâ¢ 2000 sequencing platform. Raw sequences were filtered and the resulting sets of clean reads were used for the following analysis by Tophat and DEGseq software. qRTâPCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: In this study, we identified a RanBP2-type zinc finger protein gene (SlRBZ) in tomato. SlRBZ was constitutively expressed in roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits. Overexpression of SlRBZ resulted in etiolated and dwarf phenotypes in tomato. Determination of physiological index showed that chlorophyll, carotenoid, and GAs contents were evidently decreased in transgenic plants. Furthermore, the qRT-PCR and RNA-Seq analyses demonstrated that the transcription of the genes involved in these biosynthesis pathways obviously decreased in SlRBZ-OE plants. In addition, ultrastructural observation by transmission electron microscopy indicated that plastids could not develop into mature chloroplasts with normal chloroplast membrane and thylakoid membrane system in SlRBZ-OE plants. Conclusions: The results suggest that overexpression of SlRBZ may impair the biosynthesis of chlorophyll, carotenoid, and gibberellin through blocking chloroplast development, resulting in etiolation and dwarfism in tomato. The transcriptomes of between overexpression of SlRBZ transgenic and wild-type tomato by RNA-seq analysis were evaluated, in duplicate, using the Illumina sequencing platform.

Project description:Background: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) self-compatibility (SC) is defined as self-pollen tubes that can penetrate their own stigma, elongate in the style and fertilize their own ovules. Self-incompatibility (SI) is defined as self-pollen tubes that are prevented from developing in the style. To determine the influence of gene expression on style self-pollination, a transcriptome-wide comparative analysis of SC and SI tomato unpollinated/pollinated styles was performed using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data. Results: Transcriptome profiles of 24-h unpollination (UP) and self-pollination (P) styles from SC and SI tomato species were generated using high-throughput next generation sequencing. From the comparison of SC self-pollinated and unpollinated styles, 1341 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, of which 753 were downregulated and 588 were upregulated. From the comparison of SI self-pollinated and unpollinated styles, 804 DEGs were identified, of which 215 were downregulated and 589 were upregulated. Nine gene ontology (GO) terms were enriched significantly in SC and 78 GO terms were enriched significantly in SI. A total of 105 enriched Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways were identified in SC and 80 enriched KEGG pathways were identified in SI, among which “Cysteine and methionine metabolism pathway” and “Plant hormone signal transduction pathway” were significantly enriched in SI. Conclusions: This study is the first global transcriptome-wide comparative analysis of SC and SI tomato unpollinated/pollinated styles. Advanced bioinformatic analysis of DEGs uncovered the pathways of “Cysteine and methionine metabolism” and “Plant hormone signal transduction”, which are likely to play important roles in the control of pollen tubes growth in SI species. 24-h unpollination (UP) and self-pollination (P) styles mRNA profiles from SC and SI tomato species were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq 2500 platform.
