Project description:We used a high-throughput proteomics method called label-free to compare protein abundance across a pepper CMS line and its isogenic maintainer line.This study explained the mechanisms of cytoplasmic male sterility and contribute to the improvement of pepper hybrid breeding.
Project description:Background: The fertile and sterile plants are derived from the self-pollinated offspring of the F1 hybrid between novel restorer line NR1 and Nsa CMS line in Brassica napus, which possess the identical cytoplasmic genetic material arising from Nsa CMS line. As far as the nuclear genetic background is concerned, both fertile and sterile plants have the complete set of chromosomes from Brassica napus, except one or two members of the added Sinapis arvensis chromosome pair in the fertile plant. To elucidate gene expression and regulation caused by the A and C subgenomes, the alien chromosome and cytoplasm from S. arvensis during the development of young floral buds, we performed genome-widely high-throughput transcriptomic sequencing between young floral buds of sterile and fertile plants. Results: In this study, equal amount of RNA taken from young floral buds of sterile and fertile plants were sequenced using Illumina/Solexa platform. A total of 4,415,866 and 4,244,140 raw tags were obtained in sterile plant (Ste) and fertile plant (Fer) libraries, respectively. After filtering out low quality data, a total of 2,760,574 and 2,714,441 clean tags remained from the two libraries, from which 242,163 (Ste) and 253,507 (Fer) distinct tags were obtained. To identify the genes corresponding to the distinct tags in each library, all distinct sequencing tags were annotated using all possible CATG+17-nt sequences of the genome and transcriptome of Brassica rapa and those of Brassica oleracea as the reference sequences, respectively. Many genes showed substantial differences in expression between the two libraries. In total, there were 3231 genes of B. rapa and 3371 genes of B. oleracea which were detected with significant differential expression levels. GO and pathway-based analyses were performed to determine and further understand the biological functions of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). In addition, there were 1089 specially expressed unknown tags in Fer, which were neither mapped to B. oleracea nor mapped to B. rapa, and these unique tags were presumed to arise basically from the added alien chromosome of S. arvensis. Fifteen genes were randomly selected and confirmed their expression levels by quantitative RT-PCR, fourteen of the fifteen genes showed expression patterns consistent with the digital gene expression (DGE) data. Conclusions: A number of genes were differentially expressed between the young floral buds of sterile and fertile plants. Some of these genes may be candidates for future research on CMS in Nsa line, fertility restoration and improved agronomic traits in NR1 line. Further study of the unknown tags which were specially expressed in Fer will help to dig those genes with desirable agronomic traits from wild species. mRNA profiles of fertile buds (Fer) and sterile buds (Ste) were generated by deep sequencing.
Project description:Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), a typically maternally inherited trait, causes a failure in producing functional pollen. Although the radish CMS has be widely used to produce hybrid varieties in breeding program, the molecular mechanism of CMS in radish is poorly understood. In this study, two radish CMS lines (HYBP-A and YH-A) and their corresponding maintainer lines (HYBP-B and YH-B) were used to identify genes potentially involving in CMS using Illumina pair-end sequencing. A total of 167.86 million clean sequence reads were generated from the eight libraries (two replicates for each line). These reads were eventually assembled into 130,240 unigenes. Of them, 67,173 (51.6%) unigenes were annotated for their function. Comparison of gene expression levels between CMS line and maintainer line revealed 5,893 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in HYBP, and 3,739 DEGs inYH. There were 990 DEGs commonly identified in both HYBP and YH, with same direction of expression change in two CMS lines relative to their corresponding maintainer lines, which suggested these 990 DEGs is likely related to CMS of radish. The expression levels of 20 DEGs were further confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). Two pathways and eight functional categories exhibited a significant enrichment with DEGs in HYBP, and one pathway and six functional categories were markedly enriched by DEGs in YH. Among these pathways/functional categories, four of them were enriched in both varieties. A series of candidate genes and pathways that may contribute to the CMS will be helpful for increasing our understanding for this trait in radish.
Project description:High-throughput sRNA and degradome sequencing was applied in G1+HBP and its fertile type HBP to identify miRNAs and their targets during reproductive development. A total of 184 known miRNAs, 22 novel miRNAs and 86 target genes were identified. Some of the targets are transcription factors involved in floral development, such as auxin response factors (ARFs), SQUAMOSA promoter binding protein box (SBP-box), MYB, basic region-leucine zipper (bZIP), APETALA2 (AP2), transport inhibitor response 1 (TIR1), etc. Eight target genes were confirmed to be sliced by corresponding miRNAs using 5’RACE technology. Based on the sequencing abundance, 42 differentially expressed miRNAs between CMS line G1+HBP and fertile line HBP were discovered. Differential expression of miRNAs and their target genes was validated by quantitative RT-PCR and reciprocal expression patterns between some miRNAs and their targets were demonstrated. The regulation mechanism of miR167a was elucidated by yeast one-hybrid and dual-luciferase assay that a dehydrate responsive element binding (DREB) transcription factor bind miR167a promoter and transcriptionally repress miR167 expression. Our study revealed altered expression of miRNAs and their target genes in cytoplasmic male sterile pummelo (CMS) line and highlighted that miRNA regulatory network may be involved in nucleus-cytoplasmic cross talk of citrus CMS.
Project description:We employed a microarray-based transcriptomic status comparison of rice cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines in order to categorize the nuclear gene expressions upon cytoplasmic substitution. In anthers at the uninucleate and bicellular pollen stages, we found that 8,199 genes significantly changed their expression in at least one of the CMS lines. We categorized the genes into 100 clusters by k-means clustering, and common obvious expression patterns were observed in W11, LD and BT.
