De novo assembly and characterization of Rhododendron hybridum Hort. (Ericaceae) global transcriptome using Illumina sequencing

ABSTRACT: Rhododendron hybridum Hort. (Ericaceae) is an important ornamental species with striking continuous flowering feature. However, few genomic resources are currently available in this species, and the breeding programs were handicapped by the lack of basic genetic information. Here, we established a transcriptomic profiling study from four different tissues using RNA-Seq to gain insight on the functional genes and to isolate EST-SSR markers for breeding and conservation purposes. In total 38,050,296 high-quality sequence reads were obtained, and 56,120 unigenes (with N50 = 1,236bp) were assembled. Of which, 32,580 (58.05 %) and 8,788 (15.66 %) were annotated to GO and KEGG database, respectively. Additionally, 38,775 (69.09 %) and 37,409 (66.66 %) R. hybridum unigenes were aligned to the Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa genome, respectively. A total of 21,103 simple sequence repeat (SSR) motifs were identified in 15,050 contigs. Among them, dinucleotide repeats account for the largest proportion for 49.27%, followed by mono- (35.94%) and trinucleotide (21.5%). This study represents the first transcriptome data of R. hybridum and confirms that the transcriptome assembly data are a useful resource for EST-SSR loci development. Such vast sequence data and markers will be robust tools for genomic research and breeding of R. hybridum and related species.

Project description:A microarray containing 62,876 unigenes selected from CitEST database and prepared by Nimblegen Systems was used for identifying candidate resistance genes against P. parasitica at 48 hours after inoculation Four resistant and four susceptible F1 hybrids were selected from the population derived from the cross between Citrus sunki Hort. ex. Tan. and Poncirus trifoliate (L.) Raf cv. Rubidoux, respectively susceptible and resistant to P. parasitica. It was proposed that differentially expressed genes between resistant and susceptible hybrids and their parents provide essential candidates for identifying transcripts involved in disease resistance A total of 62,876 unigenes (18,712 unigenes of Citrus sinensis; 31,583 unigenes of Citrus reticulata and 12,581 unigenes of Poncirus trifoliate) selected from CitEST database assembled from the EST submitted to NCBI (Genebank accession number EY649559 to EY842485) were used to construct genome-wide oligonucleotide cDNA microarrays by Roche NimbleGen Systems using a multi-step approach to select probes with optimal predicted hybridization characteristics. Three probes were selected per unigene, comprising a probe set, and each probe set is represented on the final array by two replicates. All probes were designed as ‘‘perfect match’’ (PM) oligonucleotides (oligos).

De novo assembly and analysis of tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum Garetn.) transcriptome discloses key regulators involved in salt-stress response

Project description:We conducted transcriptome comparison between control and salt treatment to identify potential regulatory components involved in F. tataricum salt responses. A total of 53.15 million clean reads from control and salt-treated libraries were produced via an llumina sequencing approach. Then we de novo assembled these reads into a transcriptome dataset containing 57921 unigenes with N50 length of 1400 bp and total length of 44.5 Mb. A total of 36688 unigenes could find matches in public databases. GO, KEGG and KOG classification suggested the enrichment of these unigenes in 56 sub-categories, 25 KOG, and 273 pathways, respectively. Comparison of the transcriptome expression patterns between control and salt treatment unveiled 455 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Further, we found the genes encoding for protein kinases, phosphatases, heat shock proteins (HSPs), ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), abiotic-related transcription factors and circadian clock might be relevant to the salinity adaption of this species. Thus, this study offers an insight into the salt tolerance mechanisms, and will serve as useful genetic information for tolerant elites breeding programs in future.

Characterization of the Rosa roxburghii Tratt transcriptome and analysis of MYB genes

Project description:Rosa roxburghii Tratt belongs to the Rosaceae family, and the fruit is flavorful, economic, and high nutritious, providing health benefits. MYB proteins play key roles in R. roxburghii’ development and fruit quality. However, the available genomic and transcriptomic information are extremely deficient. Here, a normalized cDNA library was constructed using five tissues, stem, leaf, flower, young fruit, and mature fruit, with three repetitions, and sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 3000 platform. De novo assembly was performed, and 470.66 million clean reads were obtained. In total, 63,727 unigenes, with an average GC content of 42.08%, were determined and 59,358 were annotated. In addition, 9,354 unigenes were assigned the Gene Ontology category, and 20,202 unigenes were assigned to 25 Eukaryotic Ortholog Groups. Additionally, 19,507 unigenes were classified into 140 pathways of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database. Using the transcriptome, 163 unigenes associated with MYB were detected. Among these genes, there were total 75 genes which strikingly expressed in various tissues, including 10 R1 MYB, 42 R2R3 MYB, 1 R1R2R3 MYB, 3 MYB and 19 atypical MYB-like proteins. The expression levels of 12 MYB genes randomly selected for qRT-PCR analysis were consistent with the RNA-seq results. A total of 37,545 microsatellites were detected, with an average EST-SSR frequency of 0.59 (37,545/63,727). This transcriptome data will be valuable for identifying genes of interest and studying their expression and evolution.

Genome dissection in the polyploid crop oilseed rape by transcriptome sequencing

Project description:Many crop species have polyploid genomes that are unlikely to be sequenced to a high standard in the near future, representing a barrier to genomics-based breeding. As an exemplar, we sequenced the leaf transcriptome to analyse both sequence variation1 and transcript abundance across a mapping population of oilseed rape (Brassica napus), together with representatives of ancestors of the parents of the population. Twin SNP linkage maps were constructed, comprising 23,037 markers in all. These were used to analyse the genome for alignment to that of a related species, Arabidopsis thaliana, and to genome sequence assemblies of the progenitor species of B. napus. Methods were developed that enabled us to detect genome rearrangements and track inheritance of genomic segments, including the outcome of an inter-specific cross. This transformative advance, enabling economical high-resolution dissection of the genomes of most, if not all, crop species, will enable us to understand the genetic consequences of breeding and domestication, and will underpin the development of efficient predictive breeding strategies.

Gene expression profile of rice leaf from selected cultivars

Project description:The genome structrure of domesticated species is influenced by complexity of breeding practices exercised by humans. Hokkaido is the northern-most regio of Japan, and one of northern limit of rice cultivation of world. The climatic conditions of Hokkaido are considered to be unsuitable for rice cultivation. Rice breeding programs of Hokkaido have focused on adaptability to specific local environmental condiitons (such as short growth period, low temperature conditions). These specific selection pressures have generated the unique genetic structures of Hokkaido rice cultivars. The genotype of sixty-three Hokkaido rice varieties were already analyzed by SSR marker, and the results showed that Hokkaido rice varieties were classified into six groups (Shinada et al, 2014). The unique genomic structures of six groups may have related to specific gene expression. This study analyze the gene expression profiles of Hokkaido rice variety.
