A time-resolved transcriptome atlas of maize grain development

ABSTRACT: Using high-throughput RNA sequencing, we developed a spatiotemporal transcriptome atlas for seed development of eight maize inbred lines based on 144 samples from the middle to late stages of grain development. A total of 26,747 genes with FPKM value more than 1 at least one sample were found to be involved in programming grain development. Global comparisons of genes expression highlighted the fundamental transcriptomic reprogramming and the phases of development. Coexpression analysis provided further insight into the dynamic reprogramming of the transcriptome by revealing functional transitions during maturation. Combined with grain moisture content and grain dehydration rate of different developmental time points of eight maize inbred lines, we captured a large number of genes related to grain moisture content and grain dehydration rate, which should help elucidate key mechanisms and regulatory networks that underlie grain dehydration during maize grain development. These results provide a comprehensive understanding of which biological processes are involved in the regulation of moisture variety of maize grain, the general principles of which provide a new perspective on improving maize grain dehydration characteristics. Meanwhile, this study provides a valuable resource for understanding the genetic regulation of maize grain development.

Natural polymorphism of ZmICE1 contributes to amino acid metabolism that impacts cold tolerance in maize

Project description:Cold stress negatively affects maize (Zea mays L.) growth, development and yield. Metabolic adjustments contribute to the adaptation of maize under cold stress. We show here that the transcription factor INDUCER OF CBF EXPRESSION 1 (ZmICE1) plays a prominent role in reprogramming amino acid metabolome and COLD-RESPONSIVE (COR) genes during cold stress in maize. Derivatives of amino acids glutamate/asparagine (Glu/Asn) induce a burst of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, which suppress the cold-mediated induction of DEHYDRATION RESPONSE ELEMENT-BINDING PROTEIN 1 (ZmDREB1) genes and impair cold tolerance. ZmICE1 blocks this negative regulation of cold tolerance by directly repressing the expression of the key Glu/Asn biosynthesis genes, ASPARAGINE SYNTHETASEs. Moreover, ZmICE1 directly regulates the expression of DREB1s. Natural variation at the ZmICE1 promoter determines the binding affinity of the transcriptional activator ZmMYB39, a positive regulator of cold tolerance in maize, resulting in different degrees of ZmICE1 transcription and cold tolerance across inbred lines. This study thus unravels a mechanism of cold tolerance in maize and provides potential targets for engineering cold-tolerant varieties.

Overexpression of ZmSUS1 gene alters the content and composition of endosperm starch in maize (Zea mays L.)

Project description:Cereal crops accumulate starch in seeds as an energy reserve. Sucrose synthase (SuSy) plays an important role in grain starch synthesis. In this study, ZmSUS1 was transformed into maize inbred line KN5585, and transgenic plants were obtained. Compared with the control, the content and activity of SuSy were significantly increased, the amylose content in mature seeds of transgenic maize increased by 41.1-69.2%, the total starch content increased by 5.0-13.5%, The 100-grain weight increased by 19.0-26.2% and the average diameter of starch granules increased by 10.8-17.2%. These results indicated that overexpression of ZmSUS1 can significantly improve the traits of maize kernels and obtain new lines with high amylose content. It was also found that ZmSUS1 may increase the amylose content by regulating the expression of Shrunken2 (Sh2) and Brittle2 (Bt2) which encodes endosperm ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) size subunits, and the expression of Granule bound starchsynthase1 (GBSS1) and Starch synthase1 (SS1) which encodes starch synthase. This study proved the important role of ZmSUS1 in maize starch synthesis, and provided a new technology strategy for improving corn starch content and yield.

MSH7 confers quantitative variation in pollen fertility and boosts grain yield in maize

Project description:Fertile pollen is critical for the survival, fitness and dispersal of flowering plants, and directly contributes to crop productivity. Extensive mutational screening studies have been carried out to dissect the genetic regulatory network determining pollen fertility, but we still lack fundamental knowledge about whether and how pollen fertility is controlled in natural populations. We used a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to show that ZmGEN1A and ZmMSH7, two DNA repair-related genes, confer natural variation in maize pollen fertility. Mutants defective in both genes exhibited abnormalities in meiotic or post-meiotic DNA repair, leading to reduced pollen fertility. More importantly, ZmMSH7 underwent selection during maize domestication, and its disruption resulted in a substantial increase in grain yield and protein content for both inbred and hybrid. Overall, our study describes the first systematic examination of natural genetic effects on pollen fertility in plants, providing valuable genetic resources for optimizing male fertility. Moreover, ZmMSH7 may be a potential candidate for simultaneous improvement of grain yield and quality.

Comparison of Transcript Profiles in Wild-type and o2 Maize Endosperm in Different Genetic Backgrounds

Project description:Mutations in the Opaque2 (O2) gene of maize (Zea Mays L.) improve the nutritional value of maize by reducing the level of zeins in the kernel. The phenotype of o2 grain is controlled by many modifier genes and is therefore strongly dependent on the genetic background. We sought to distinguish between two hypotheses to explain differences in phenotypic severity: 1. Differences in phenotypic severity are due to genotype specific differentially expressed genes and 2. Differences in phenotypic severity are due to differences in the degree of differential expression of a set of differentially expressed genes. Eight pairs of inbred lines and their o2 counterparts were characterized for phenotypes controlled by o2 (lysine content, kernel density, seed weight and shoot to root ratio of seedlings). The inbred line B46 was identified as having severe o2 effects while the line M14 was identified as having minimal o2 effects. Transcripts that were differentially expressed between the wild-type and o2 versions of these two lines were identified by microarray hybridization. While genotype specific differentially expressed transcripts were identified, many transcripts were identified with reduced degree of differential expression in M14 relative to B46. Thus, a combination of genotype specific transcripts and degree of differential expression of transcripts can explain differences in phenotypic severity in these two genetic backgrounds. To identify the transcripts most likely to be differentially expressed in a given genetic background, we used RNA from eight genotype pools in microarray hybridization. By averaging across genotypes in this way, genotype-specific changes are minimized. Keywords: Genetic modification

Genome-wide analysis of gene expression profiles of 21 European maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines.

Project description:In the current study a microarray (46k, University of Arizona, USA) analysis of 21 European maize (Zea mays L.) parental inbred lines (14 dent and 7 flint) was applied. The aim was the identification of parental genes which expression levels are correlated to heterosis and/or hybrid performance for grain yield (GY) and grain dry matter content (GDMC) in the hybrid progeny (F1). Therefore gene expression profiles of differentially expressed genes of the parental inbred lines at the seedling stage were correlated with GY- and GDMC-field data of 98 flint x dent factorial crosses gained at six different locations in Germany. The identification of heterosis-correlated genes is an approach for the characterization and also for the prediction of this phenomenon. For the analyses total RNA of seven days old seedlings was extracted and aminoallyl-labeled RNA probes were synthesized. RNA labeling (Cy3, Cy5) and hybridizations were performed according to the protocol of the maize oligonucleotide array project (http://www.maizearray.org). The microarrays were scanned (AppliedPrecision ArrayWorx Scanner, Applied Precision Inc., USA) and data were evaluated using the Software GenePix Pro 4.0 (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, USA). An experimental interwoven loop design was developed aiming to yield in a preferably low average variance among the hybridizations, especially between intergroup (dent lines vs. flint lines) hybridizations. As a result 12288 (28.3%) of the genes showed differential expression between any combination of inbred lines. These differentially expressed genes were used for subsequent field data correlation analyses.

Maize root LC-MSMS, part 2 - Comparative proteomics of contrasting maize genotypes provides insights into salt-stress tolerance mechanisms

Project description:Salt stress is one major abiotic stress limiting maize grain yield throughout the world.To better understand maize salt tolerance molecular mechanism, comparative proteomic analysis was conducted on seedling roots of salt-tolerant genotype Jing724 and salt-sensitive genotype D9H under NaCl. Jing724 exhibited significantly higher germination rate and growth parameters (weight/length) than did D9H under salt treatment.We identified 565 differentially regulated proteins (DRP) using iTRAQ and 89 were specific to Jing724 while 424 were specific to D9H. In salt stressed Jing724, pentose phosphate pathway, glutathione metabolism and nitrogen metabolism were enriched. By pathway enrichment and protein-protein interaction analyses, key DRPs such as glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase, NADPH producing dehydrogenase, glutamate synthase and glutamine synthasewere identified.Additionally, salt responsive proteins of Jing724 were indicated to facilitate energy management, maintenance of redox homeostasis, reducing ammonia toxicity, osmotic homeostasis regulation, stress defense, stress adaptation, biotic cross-tolerance and gene transcription regulation. Quantification of multiple metabolic or enzymatic changes including SOD activity, MDA content, relative electrolyte leakage and Proline content were consistent with their predicted changes based on functions of DRPs. DRP analysis was correlated with the mRNA transcripts abundancevariation of eight representative DRPs. These results contribute to elucidating molecular networks of salt tolerance.
