Project description:Tea plants (Camellia sinensis) present an excellent system to study evolution and diversification of specialized metabolites due to their abundance in classes, numbers and contents. A large number of tea cultivars have been cultivated throughout the world not only because of their adaption to different environments but of selection for specific flavors. The chemical and genetic basis for unique taste and aroma of different tea cultivars remains largely unknown, but is critical for guiding genetic breeding of new cultivars. Using transcriptomic data from 136 representative tea accessions in China, we obtain 925,854 high-quality single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) useful for marker-assisted breeding. Phylogenetic and population structure analyses separate sampled tea accessions into five major groups. Different major alleles are identified on 1183 SNP sites for the two major types of tea, C. sinensis var. assamica (CSA) and C. sinensis var. sinensis (CSS), reflecting fixation of these alleles after population divergence. Non-targeted metabolomic analyses detect 2,818 and 2,311 metabolic features in tea samples in positive and negative ionization modes, respectively, including 355 and 286 metabolites respectively that are differentially accumulated in different tea groups. Each phylogenetic group contains signature metabolites. In particular, CSA tea accessions are featured with high accumulation of diverse classes of flavonoid compounds, such as flavanols, flavonol mono-/di-glycosides and proanthocyanidin dimers. Comparisons of gene expression profiles of different tea groups identify hundreds of differentially expressed genes with some involved in the biosynthesis of characteristic tea metabolites, reflecting a combinational effect of genetic and environmental factors. Taken together, our study provides new insights into the phylogenetic relationships, molecular markers, metabolite compositions, and gene expression profiles of representative cultivated tea accessions in China, which are beneficial for targeted tea breeding and improvement.

Project description:Hawk tea (Litsea coreana var. lanuginose) is a traditional Chinese tea, widely cultivated and consumed in southwestern China. It has been widely used to treat gastrosis, hepatitis, and inflammatory diseases for hundreds of years. Modern pharmacological studies demonstrate that hawk tea has protective effects against liver fibrosis, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, and inflammatory diseases . However, the molecular mechanism of hawk tea against hypercholesterolemia remains unclear. The aims of this study were to investigate the mechanisms of hawk tea extract (HTE) to lower cholesterol. Therefore, we performed genome-wide transcriptional analysis of hawk tea extracts treated HepG2 cells.

Project description:Cultivated soybean has domesticated in China for a long history, and there are several significant phenotypic differences between wild and cultivated soybeans. Seed of cultivar is generally larger than wild soybean, therefore here we comprehensively analyzed transcriptomes of thirteen soybean accessions seeds including seven wild soybeans and six landraces through applying strand-specific RNA sequencing. Differential expressed genes related seed weight were identified, some of them were known to be associated with seed development in Arabidopsis. Noncoding RNAs are known to play important roles in plant development, and we profiled the expression pattern of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in cultivated and wild soybean seeds. We have identified 1,251 long intergenic noncoding RNA, 243 intronic RNA and 81 antisense lncRNA, transcriptional levels of a number of lncRNAs were significantly different between cultivated and wild soybeans, suggesting that lncRNA may be involved in soybean seed development.

Project description:Purpose: We investigated root foraging strategies for K of tea plants using a multi-layer split-root system by RNA-seq. Methods: One-year old tea cuttings were cultivated with the roots evenly planted on the two sides of the split root hydroponic box with a root canal. Three treatments were included to simulate the heterogeneous and homogeneous K environments. After 5d treatment, the roots on the two sides of the split root hydroponic box were collected separately and the RNA sequencing were analyzed by the Illumina Hiseq (2500, Illumina, San Diego, CA). Results: RNA-seq data had a linear relationship with qRT–PCR (r2=0.76), which confirmed the reliability of the RNA-seq data. Conclusions: Our study screened the key genes of tea root system to adapt to potassium heterogeneity.

Project description:We hypothesized that the genome segments of cultivated barley should show certain similarity with its ancestral wild barley. Instead of whole genome sequences, we employed RNA-Seq to investigated the genomic origin of modern cultivated barley using some representative wild barley genotypes from the Near East and Tibet, and representative world-wide selections of cultivated barley.

Project description:Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a common plasticizer. Studies have revealed that DEHP exposure can cause liver damage. Green tea is one of the most popular beverages in China. Green tea polyphenols (GTPs) have been proven to have therapeutic effects on organ damage induced by heavy metal exposure. However, few study report on GTP relieving DEHP-induced liver damage.

Project description:Comparison of gene expression profiles of widespread peanut cultivars for exploring the expression data in pod and leaf with regard to signatures of artificial selection We investigated the overall expression by hybridizing the microarray (GPL13178) with RNA samples from pods and leaves of five selected representative peanut varieties (Fuhuasheng, Shitouqi, Yueyou116, Shanyou523, and Yueyou7), which were widely cultivated in different periods of the past fifty years in southern China. We used the RNA sample from Yueyou7 pod as a reference for all the pod hybridizations, and used the Yueyou7 leaf sample as a reference for all the leaf hybridizations. Field grown plants under normal irrigation were used for sample collection. Replicates with dye-swap were performed for each genotype.
