Project description:Lack of resistance to pink snow mould (Microdochium nivale) is seen as a major constraint for adaptation of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) at higher latitudes. Plants generally become more resistant to snow moulds after cold acclimation, and almost all investigations of genetic variation in resistance have been performed using cold acclimated plants. However, there may be variation in resistance mechanisms that are functioning independently of cold acclimation. In this study our aim was to identify candidate genes involved in such resistance mechanisms. We first characterized variation in resistance to M. nivale among non-acclimated plants of eight genotypes from the Norwegian cultivar Fagerlin and selected one resistant and one susceptible genotype for transcriptome analysis. Total RNA was extracted from leaf blade tissue of plants exposed to three different treatments: non-inoculated and non-incubated plants, non-inoculated plants after four days of incubation, and inoculated plants after four days of incubation. cDNA libraries were prepared and paired-end sequencing performed using Illumina Hiseq 2000. Transcriptome profiles, GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analysis indicate that defence response related genes are differentially expressed between incubated non-inoculated and incubated inoculated conditions both within resistant and susceptible genotypes. A significant up-regulation of defence related genes as well as genes involved in cell wall cellulose metabolic processes and aryl-alcohol dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity was observed in the resistant genotype. The candidate genes identified in this study might be potential molecular marker resources for breeding perennial ryegrass cultivars with improved resistance to pink snow mould.

Project description:Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is a major grass species used for forage and turf throughout the world, and gains by conventional breeding have reached a plateau. Perennial ryegrass is an outcrossing, self-incompatible diploid (2n = 2x = 14) with a relatively large genome (4067 Mbp/diploid genome; Evans, G.M., Rees, H., Snell, C.L. and Sun, S. (1972). The relation between nuclear DNA amount and the duration of the mitotic cycle. Chrom. Today, 3, 24–31). Using tissues sourced from active pastures during the peak of the autumn, winter, spring and summer seasons, we analysed the ryegrass transcriptome employing a Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE™) protocol, with the dual goals of understanding the seasonal changes in perennial ryegrass gene expression and enhancing our ability to select genes for genetic manipulation. A total of 159 002 14-mer SAGE™ tags was sequenced and mapped to the perennial ryegrass DNA database, comprising methyl-filtered (GeneThresher®) and expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences. The analysis of 14 559 unique SAGE™ tags, which were present more than once in our SAGE™ library, revealed 964, 1331, 346 and 131 exclusive transcripts to autumn, winter, spring and summer, respectively. Intriguingly, our analysis of the SAGE™ tags revealed season-specific expression profiles for the small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco), LprbcS. The transcript level for LprbcS was highest in spring, and then decreased gradually between summer and winter. Five different copies of LprbcS were revealed in ryegrass, with one possibly producing splice variant transcripts. Two highly expressed LprbcS genes were reported, one of which was not active in autumn. Another LprbcS gene showed an inverse expression profile to the autumn inactive LprbcS in a manner to compensate the expression level.

Project description:Falster is a Danish perennial ryegrass ecotype with strong vernalization requirement, while Veyo is an Italian variety with no requirement for vernalization in order to flower. The transcriptome of these two perennial ryegrass genotypes with contrasting vernalization requirements was studied during primary (vernalization and short day conditions), and secondary induction (higher temperature and long day conditions) using an RNA-Seq approach, in order to reveal transcripts with expression profiles indicative of a role in floral induction, both in the promotion and repression of flowering.

Bronsyn was used throughout this study. Field-grown samples, comprising mainly viable leaves and pseudostems, were collected at midday from livestock-active monocultural paddocks at Dexcel, Hamilton, New Zealand during the peak of each season, and frozen immediately in liquid nitrogen. Samples were transported in dry-ice and stored at ?80 oC until use. During spring and summer, care was taken not to include any floral stems in the tissue sample. Grass samples were collected from pregrazed (15–60 days post-grazing) and post-grazed (1 day post-grazing) ryegrass swards, which were visibly healthy and free of any pests. Construction of SAGE™ libraries RNA was extracted using TRIZOL® reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad,CA, USA). For each SAGE™ library, 100 ug of pre- and post-grazed sample-derived total RNA was employed, and the libraries were created using an I-SAGE™ or I-SAGE™Long Kit (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Pre- and post-grazed SAGE™ libraries were sequenced at the Australian Genome Research Facility (Brisbane, Australia), and the tags were extracted using SAGE2000 software and combined to produce the transcript profile for the season.
