Genetic architecture of inter-specific and -generic grass hybrids by network analysis on multi-omics data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Understanding the mechanisms underlining forage production and its biomass nutritive quality at the omics level is crucial for boosting the output of high-quality dry matter per unit of land. Despite the advent of multiple omics integration for the study of biological systems in major crops, investigations on forage species are still scarce.

Results

Our results identified substantial changes in gene co-expression and metabolite-metabolite network topologies as a result of genetic perturbation by hybridizing L. perenne with another species within the genus (L. multiflorum) relative to across genera (F. pratensis). However, conserved hub genes and hub metabolomic features were detected between pedigree classes, some of which were highly heritable and displayed one o
