Project description:We study the expression level change of candidate genes associated with seed filling in maize, through RNA-seq for maize seeds in different filling stages. The results show that the change of the expression of these candidate genes would lead to the change of grain filling trajectory.

Project description:Grain filling in maize (Zea mays L.) is intricately linked to cell development, involving the regulation of genes responsible for the biosynthesis of storage reserves (starch, proteins, and lipids) and phytohormones. However, the regulatory network coordinating these biological functions remains unclear. In this study, we identified 1,744 high-confidence target genes co-regulated by the transcription factors (TFs) ZmNAC128 and ZmNAC130 (ZmNAC128/130) through chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing coupled with RNA-seq analysis in the zmnac128/130 loss-of-function mutants. We further constructed a hierarchical regulatory network using DNA affinity purification sequencing analysis of downstream TFs regulated by ZmNAC128/130. In addition to target genes involved in the biosynthesis of starch and zeins, we discovered novel target genes of ZmNAC128/130 involved in the biosynthesis of lipids and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Consistently, the number of oil bodies, as well as the contents of triacylglycerol and IAA were significantly reduced in zmnac128/130. The hierarchical regulatory network centered by ZmNAC128/130 revealed a significant overlap between the direct target genes of ZmNAC128/130 and their downstream TFs, particularly in regulating the biosynthesis of storage reserves and IAA. Our results indicated that the biosynthesis of storage reserves and IAA is coordinated by a multi-TFs hierarchical regulatory network in maize endosperm.

Project description:Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the major cereal crops worldwide. Increasing planting density is an effective way to improve crop yield. However, plants grown under high-density conditions compete for water, nutrients, and light, which often leads to changes in productivity. To date, few studies have determined the transcriptomic differences in maize leaves in response to different planting densities. This study examined the whole-genome expression patterns in the leaves of maize planted under high and low densities to identify density-regulated genes. Leaves at upper, ear, and lower stem nodes were collected at the grain-filling stage of the maize hybrid Xianyu335 grown under low-density planting and high-density planting. In total, 72, 733, and 1,739 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the respective upper, ear, and lower leaves under HDP. Upregulated and downregulated DEGs in the upper and lower leaves were similar in number, whereas upregulated DEGs in the ear leaves were significantly higher in number than the downregulated DEGs. Functional analysis indicated that genes responding to HDP-related stresses were mediated by pathways involving four phytohormones responsible for metabolism and signaling, osmoprotectant biosynthesis, transcription factors, and fatty acid biosynthesis and protein kinases, which suggested that these pathways are affected by the adaptive responses mechanisms underlying the physiological and biochemical responses of the leaves of maize planted at high density.

Project description:To increase crop yield without polluting the environment, improving crop nutrient efficiency is of great importance. The RSA of plants is centrally involved in nutrient use efficiency. Therefore, to uncover the molecular mechanisms that regulate RSA of maize under nutrient-deficiency conditions and to improve maize nutrient use efficiency based on this knowledge, we investigated the morphological changes and ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNA-seq) profiles of maize roots during growth under normal and N-, P-, and K-deficiency conditions. We analyzed the data in different aspects and verified the reliability of the RNA-seq data by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). These results will provide theoretical support for improving plant nutrient use efficiency. The maize (Z. mays) inbred line DengHai 605 was used in this study. Provided for four treatment conditions: normal N, P, and K level (CK); potassium deficiency (K-DEF); nitrogen deficiency (N-DEF); and phosphorus deficiency (P-DEF). The experiments were carried out by combining sand culture with water culture. The standard for evaluating differential gene expression is fold change (FC) > 2 or FC < -2 and p value < 0.05.The numbers of DEGs under N-, P-, and K-deficiency conditions were 3494 (1801 up-regulated and 1693 down-regulated), 3424 (1761 up-regulated and 1663 down-regulated), and 1830 (827 up-regulated and 1003 down-regulated), respectively. A total of 1483, 1470, and 519 genes were specifically expressed under the N-, P-, and K-deficiency conditions, respectively.
