Nutritional quality and genetic differences of five amaranth cultivars revealed by metabolome profiling and whole-genome sequencing (Seed assays)

ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND: Amaranth (Amaranthus spp.) has high nutritional quality, with edible grain and leaves, and many agronomic advantages, making it a promising part of the solution for global food insecurity. However, we lack comprehensive metabolomic and genome sequence data for many cultivars. To support the improvement of this versatile, sustainable crop, a detailed metabolome profiling of the edible grains and leaves and genome sequencing resources is required for the widely cultivated grain amaranth cultivars such as Coral Fountain (CF), Emerald Tassels (ET), Golden Giant (GG), Hopi Red Dye (HR), and New Mexico (NM).

RESULTS: Through a non-targeted high-throughput metabolic profiling using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, we precisely determined the whole-grain and leaf metabolites of these five cultivars. This analysis identified 426 and 420 metabolites with known chemical structures in the grain and leaf, respectively. The five amaranth cultivars differed significantly in the levels of several nutritionally valuable compounds in grains and leaves, including sulfur amino acids, vitamins, and chlorogenic acids, as well as potentially anti-nutritive compounds, such as oxalate and raffinose family oligosaccharides. On average, the cultivars CF and ET had more favorable levels of most identified health-promoting compounds compared to GG, HR, and NM. In addition, we provide high-quality reference genome sequences for the five cultivars using the PacBio Sequel II sequencing platform with an estimated genome size of 465-483 Mb comprising 46.9-48.7% repetitive elements. We generated an iso-seq library from different amaranth plant parts and utilized it to predict the amaranth genes and annotate their function into their respective gene ontology terms.

CONCLUSIONS: These resources will assist in breeding improved amaranth varieties and identifying targeted genes for trait modification and advancement through genome editing and engineering technologies.

Seed assays are reported in the current study MTBLS815.

Leaf assays are reported in MTBLS3498.

Project description:Molecular characterization of leaf development has not been well studied in soybean. Studies have shown that genomic regions controlling multifoliate leaf morphology in Glycine max also regulates important agronomic characters including yield, seed weight, seed number, shattering, plant growth, and flowering. Two soybean isolines that differed in leaf phenotype were profiled by high throughput RNA and small RNA (sRNA) sequencing. A Clark isoline, homozygous for a dominant mutant allele, Lf1, that specifies a five-foliate compound leaf was compared to wild type Clark that is homozygous for the standard allele that produces trifoliate leaves. Although Lf1 is dominant, it presents variable expressivity as the young plantlets with the Lf1Lf1 genotype initially have trifoliate leaves in the first few weeks, after which they transition to five-foliate leaves. At later developmental stages, they begin to produce four-foliate or trifoliate leaves. In RNA-Seq experiments, a total of 91 and 95 million reads were generated in each lane of Illumina sequencing for the shoot tip of wild type Clark standard (CS) and mutant Clark five-foliate (CF) libraries, respectively. Of these, ~70% million reads aligned to the 78,743 target Glyma models from the reference soybean genome (cv. Williams 82) with maximum of 3 mismatches and up to 25 alignments. Where as in vegetative bud, 56 (CS) to 59 (CF) million reads were produced and of these ~80% aligned to the soybean reference genome. The comparative studies of the transcript profiles of the wild-type versus mutant line revealed a number of differentially expressed genes. A total of 1,296 and 2,083 genes were up-regulated in the shoot tip of CS and CF, respectively that showed ≥2-fold expression difference. On the contrary in the vegetative bud, much smaller number of genes 14 (CS) and 94 (CF) showed increased transcript abundance. In sRNA analysis, a collection of 200,447 and 268,508 unique sRNA sequences isolated from shoot tip tissue of CS and CF were aligned to the soybean reference genome and their target glyma models were predicted using bioinformatics. This sRNA analysis at genome level reveals differences in size distribution of classes in the CS and CF. This study provides insight into the initial understanding of leaf development in soybean by revealing a number of genes and sRNAs differentially expressed between the CS and CF.

Project description:Enhancing grain production of rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a top priority in ensuring food security for human being. One approach to increase yield is to delay leaf senescence and to extend the available time for photosynthesis. microRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators for aging and cellular senescence in eukayotes. However, miRNAs and their roles in rice leaf senescence remain unexplored. Here, we report identification of miRNAs and their putative target genes by deep sequencing of six small RNA libraries, six RNA-seq libraries and two degradome libraries from the leaves of two super hybrid rice, Nei-2-You 6 (N2Y6, age-resistant rice) and Liang-You-Pei 9 (LYP9, age-sensitive rice). Totally 372 known miRNAs and 162 miRNA candidates were identified, and 1145 targets were identified. Compared with the expression of miRNAs in the leaves of LYP9, the numbers of miRNAs up-regulated and down-regulated in the leaves of N2Y6 were 47 and 30 at early stage of grain-filling, 21 and 17 at the middle stage, and 11 and 37 at the late stage, respectively. Six miRNA families, osa-miR159, osa-miR160 osa-miR164, osa-miR167, osa-miR172 and osa-miR1848, targeting the genes encoding APETALA2 (AP2), zinc finger proteins, salicylic acid-induced protein 19 (SIP19), Auxin response factors (ARF) and NAC transcription factors, respectively, were found to be involved in leaf senescence through phytohormone signaling pathways. These results provided valuable information for understanding the miRNA-mediated leaf senescence of rice, and offered an important foundation for rice breeding.
