DNA methylation patterns associated with cyanogenic cassava exposure and konzo in Sub-Saharan Africa

ABSTRACT: Konzo, a disease characterized by sudden, irreversible spastic paraparesis, affecting up to 10% of the population in some regions of Sub-Saharan Africa during outbreaks and is strongly associated with dietary exposure to cyanogenic bitter cassava. The molecular mechanisms underlying the development of konzo, remain largely unknown. Here, through an analysis of 16 individuals with konzo and matched healthy controls from the same outbreak zones, we identified 117 differentially methylated loci involved in numerous biological processes that may identify cyanogenic- sensitive regions of the genome, providing the first study of epigenomic alterations associated with sub-lethal cyanide exposure and a clinical phenotype.

Efficient sugar utilization and transition from oxidative to substrate-level phosphorylation in high starch storage roots of African cassava genotypes

Project description:Cassava’s storage roots represent one of the most important sources of nutritional carbohydrates worldwide. Particularly, smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa depend on this crop plant, where resilient and yield-improved varieties are of vital importance to support steadily increasing populations. Aided by a growing understanding of the plant’s metabolism and physiology, targeted improvement concepts already led to visible gains in recent years. To expand our knowledge and to contribute to these successes, we investigated storage roots of eight cassava genotypes with differential dry matter content from three successive field trials for their proteomic and metabolic profiles. At large, the metabolic focus in storage roots transitioned from cellular growth processes towards carbohydrate and nitrogen storage with increasing dry matter content. This is reflected in higher abundance of proteins related to nucleotide synthesis, protein turnover and vacuolar energization in low starch genotypes, while proteins involved in sugar conversion and glycolysis were more prevalent in high dry matter genotypes. This shift in metabolic orientation was underlined by a clear transition from oxidative- to substrate-level phosphorylation in high dry matter genotypes. Our analyses highlight metabolic patterns that are consistently and quantitatively associated with high dry matter accumulation in cassava storage roots, providing fundamental understandings of cassava’s metabolism as well as a data resource for targeted genetic improvement.

Large-scale proteome characterization of the cassava root

Project description:Cassava is the most important root crop in the tropics but rapid post-harvest physiological root deterioration (PPD) is a major constraint to commercial cassava production. We used label-free quantitative proteomics to generate an extensive cassava root and PPD proteome. Over 2400 unique proteins were identified in the cassava root and nearly 300 proteins showed significant abundance regulation during PPD. A candidate gene for reducing PPD was identified from the regulated proteins with enzymatic assays and afterwards verified with a transgene approach. This demonstrates the relevance of proteomics approach for crop improvements.

Transcriptome analysis of response to infection of cassava anthracnose disease (CAD) using an oligo-DNA microarray from cassava

Project description:Cassava Anthracnose Disease (CAD) that caused by the fungus Colletotorichum anthracnose is a serious disease of cassava in worldwide. In this study, we aim to establish the cassava oligo-DNA microarray representing approximately 30,000 cassava genes and apply it to investigate the molecular mechanisms against fungal infection using two cassava cultivars; Huay Bong 60 (HB60, resistant line for CAD) and Hanatee (HN, sensitive line for CAD). Based on expression profiling, we showed that the expression of various biotic stress-inducible genes, such as detoxification enzyme related genes is higher in HB60 under the treated conditions and non-treated condition, compared with HN. These results show that stress-inducible signaling pathways including ROS detoxification are constitutively activated in HB60 even under normal growth conditions without stress. These results suggest that our microarray is a useful tool for analyzing the cassava transcriptome and add new insight into the host responses of cassava against fungal infection.

Transcriptome sequencing of the Cassava (Manihot esculenta) latex parasite Phytomonas francai

Project description:Phytomonas are a large and diverse sub-group of plant-infecting trypanosomatids that are relatively poorly understood. Little is known of their biology or how they have adapted to life inside plants. This study sequenced the genome of the Cassava (Manihot esculenta) infecting species Phytomonas francai to provide additional genome resources and new insight into the biology of this poorly understood group of organisms.

Digital gene expression analysis of ACMV-infected cassava

Project description:Cassava mosaic disease caused by cassava begomoviruses is the most serious disease of cassava in Africa. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to symptom development of infected cassava plants are poorly understood. Here a high throughput digital gene expression profiling (DGE) based on Illumina Solexa sequencing technology was used to investigate the global transcriptional response of cassava to the African cassava mosaic virus infection. Results showed that 3,210 genes were differentially expressed in virus-infected cassava leaves. Gene Ontology (GO) term and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis indicated that photosynthesis related genes were most affected, which was consistent with the chlorotic symptom on the infected leaves. The upregulation of chlorophyll degradation genes, e.g. the genes encoding chlorophyllase and pheophorbide a oxygenase, as well as the downregulation of the major apoproteins genes in light harvesting complex II (LHCII) identified by the DGE analysis were confirmed by qRT-PCR. Together with the reduction of chlorophyll b content and fewer grana stacks in the infected leaf cells, this study reveals that the degradation of chlorophyll plays an important role during ACMV symptom development for the first time. Meanwhile, we believe that the non-lethal effect on photosystem is a trick for virus to avoid fierce host immune response and a result of the long-term co-evolution. This study will provide a road map for future investigations into virus symptom development.
