Loss of Karma transposon methylation underlies oil palm somaclonal mantling

ABSTRACT: The oil palm fruit abnormality, mantled, is a somaclonal variant arising from tissue culture that drastically reduces yield, and has largely halted efforts to clone elite hybrids for breeding and oil production. Widely regarded as epigenetic, mantling had defied explanation, and has become an icon of unsustainability in environmentally sensitive tropical plantation crops. We identified the MANTLED gene using Epigenome Wide Association analysis of genetically identical palms from multiple clonal lineages. Hypomethylation of a LINE retrotransposon related to rice Karma, found in the intron of the homeotic gene DEFICIENS, is common to all mantled clones and is correlated with alternative splicing and loss of small RNA. DNA methylation is regained in spontaneous revertants accounting for non-Medelian inheritance of the Good Karma and Bad Karma epialleles. Thus epigenetic regulation of transposable elements results in somaclonal variation and provides a means to cull mantled nursery palms before committing limiting plantation resources to clonal propagation. DNA methylation profiling was performed using the McrBC DNA methylation dependent fractionation and microarray hybridization method as described in Lippman, Z., Gendrel, A. V., Colot, V. & Martienssen, R. Profiling DNA methylation patterns using genomic tiling microarrays. Nat Methods 2, 219-224 (2005).

V., Colot, V. & Martienssen, R. Profiling DNA methylation patterns using genomic tiling microarrays. Nat Methods 2, 219-224 (2005). DNA methylation profiling was performed on 54 parthenocarpic mantled ramet, 43 normal ramet and 1 ortet adult leaf samples. For each sample, two independent fractionations of total genomic DNA and DNA methylation-depleted DNA were performed. Each total DNA/methylation-depleted DNA pair was differentially labeled and hydrized to a custon Nimblegen microarray in a dye-swapped design (4 array hybridizations per sample).

Transcriptomes of clonal palms with different fruit phenotypes.

Project description:Leaf tissue was sampled from clonal palms producing normal and mantled fruits. RNAseq libraries were generated and sequenced on Illumina platform. Differential expression analysis was carried out between the normal and mantled groups of palms.

Epigenomes of clonal palms with different fruit phenotypes.

Project description:Leaf tissue was sampled from normal and mantled clonal palms producing normal and mantled fruits respectively. ChIP-Seq libraries for histone modifications H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 were generated and sequenced on Illumina platform. Genomic regions associated with specific histone marks were identified.

DNA methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:DNA methylation in wild type bolting plants, wild type seedlings, and ddm1 seedlings. The purpose of the McrBC methylation microarray assay is to determine which regions of a genome are methylated versus those that are unmethylated in a single Arabidopsis thanliana genotype. McrBC is a methylation-sensitive enzyme that restricts DNA only at purine-Cmethyl half sites when separated between 50bp and 3kb. A designated amount of DNA from a particular genotype is sheared to a size range of 1kb-10kb using nebulization. We restrict half of the nebulized DNA with McrBC, and the methylated fraction is then removed from the unmethylated fraction through gel purification of DNA fragments greater than 1kb.* The remaining nebulized DNA is subjected to the same gel purification scheme, but with no McrBC treatment. In a single hybridization, the untreated sample is labeled with Cy5 and the McrBC-treated sample with Cy3. Thus, after labeling and microarray hybridization, the ratio of normalized Cy5 to normalized Cy3 represents the relative methylation at the sequence represented by the spot on the microarray. Dye swap analysis is carried out to take account of experimental variation by repeating the hybridization with identical samples labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Methylation profiling of normal and cancerous human breast samples

Project description:To assess changes in DNA methylation state associated with breast cancer we analyzed DNA from normal and cancerous breast specimens on CpG islands microarray using methylation-sensitive enzyme McrBC for target preparation. Cy3 was used for McrBC cut sample, Cy5 was used for reference Mock sample.

Dye swap analysis is carried out to take account of experimental variation by repeating the hybridization with identical samples labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively. The two samples in this series are complementary hybridizations in a dye-swap analysis. This is the normalized result of the paired dye swap samples VC121 and VC127. The ANOVA model of Kerr, Martin and Churchill (2000) was used to analyze the data from the dye-swap experiments, with terms included to account for gene, dye-by-gene, treatment-by-gene, and random error terms. These samples were not subjected to hypothesis testing. Therefore, P-values are reported as -1 and no features are flagged as significantly methylated. Keywords: other
