Project description:We evaluated the molecular mechanism underlying this delaying fruit ripening by performing RNA-sequencing analysis of tomato fruits at 6 h, 2 days (d), 5 d and 7 d after 1 kHz sound vibration treatment. Differentially expressed genes revealed that some of these genes are involved in plant hormone and cell wall modification processes. Ethylene and cytokinin biosynthesis and signalling genes were downregulated by sound vibration treatment, whereas genes involved in flavonoid, phenylpropanoid and glucan biosynthesis were upregulated. Our results indicate that sound vibration helps delay fruit ripening through the sophisticated regulation of RNAs and transcription factor genes.

Project description:Anthocyanins are high value plant antioxidants which are not present in the fruits of cultivated tomato. However, both the dominant gene Anthocyanin fruit (Aft) and the recessive gene atroviolacea (atv), introgressed into domesticated tomato from two different wild Solanum species, stimulate a limited anthocyanin pigmentation. Surprisingly, double mutant Aft/Aft atv/atv tomatoes are characterised by the presence of anthocyanins in the fruit peel, resulting in intensely purple pigmented fruit. We carried out a transcript profiling analysis using GeneChip® Tomato Genome Arrays, in order to identify differentially expressed genes when comparing wild type, Aft/Aft, atv/atv, and Aft/Aft atv/atv fruits. The expression pattern of several genes involved in the anthocyanin pathway was analyzed in detail. Among the fruit peel-associated differentially expressed transcripts, genes involved in phenylpropanoid pathway, cell wall composition, biotic and abiotic stress responses, sugar and hormone metabolism were overrepresented in Aft/Aft atv/atv. Transcriptomic analysis thus revealed that the activation of anthocyanin synthesis in tomato fruit was accompanied by a complex remodulation of gene expression, likely affecting important agronomic and merceological traits. Wild type (Cv. Ailsa Craig, accession number LA2838A), Aft/Aft (accession number LA1996), atv/atv (accession number LA0797) and double mutant (Aft/Aft atv/atv) were grown during the winter season in a controlled heated greenhouse. Fruits were collected at mature green, turning red and red stages of development. The transcriptional profile in Aft/Aft, atv/atv, and Aft/Aft atv/atv fruits when compared to the wild type was analyzed using the GeneChip® Tomato Genome Array.

Project description:In contrast to climacteric fruits such as tomato, the knowledge on key regulatory genes controlling the ripening of strawberry, a non-climacteric fruit, is still limited. NAC transcription factors mediate different developmental processes in plants. Here, we identified and characterized FaRIF (Ripening Inducing Factor), a NAC transcription factor that is highly expressed and induced in strawberry receptacles during ripening. Functional analyses based on stable transgenic lines aimed at silencing FaRIF by RNA interference, either from a constitutive promoter or the ripe receptacle-specific EXP2 promoter, as well as overexpression lines showed that FaRIF controls critical ripening-related processes such as fruit softening and pigment and sugar accumulation. Physiological, metabolome and transcriptome analyses of receptacles of FaRIF-silenced and overexpression lines point to FaRIF as a key regulator of strawberry fruit ripening from early developmental stages, controlling abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis and signaling, cell wall degradation and modification, the phenylpropanoid pathway, volatiles production, and the balance of the aerobic/anaerobic metabolism. FaRIF is therefore a target to be modified/edited to control the quality of strawberry fruits.

Project description:Lycium barbarum, a member of the Solanaceae family, has been used for more than 2000 years in the traditional Chinese medicine. L. ruthenicum, endemic to northwestern China, is also used as medicine and has had a great influence on the development of Minority Medicine. Previous studies revealed there are many differences between two species, including morphological and phytochemical differences. However, the molecular mechanism of formation of its fruit and associated medicinal and nutritional components is unexplored. In the present studies, for transcriptomic analyses, fruits from 5 developmental stages L. barbarum and L. ruthenicum were collected. KEGG analyses for the DEGs between L. barbarum and L. ruthenicum, revealed that molecular mechanism of fruit formation were distinct obviously during the development process. Moreover, we found that multiple DEGs enriched in “Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis (ID: ko00940”, “Flavonoid biosynthesis” (ID: ko00941) were up-regulated in L. ruthenicum at different developmental stages of fruit. It suggested that biotic and abiotic stress might be responsible for high abundance of antioxidant capacities in L. ruthenicum.

Project description:Universally accepted landmark stages are necessary to highlight key events in tomato reproductive development. In this study, we provide a description of floral and fruit development in a red-fruited closely related wild relative of tomato, Solanum pimpinellifolium accession LA1589. We use established and propose new landmarks as the framework for the characterization of the tomato fruit shape gene SUN in fruit development. SUN controls fruit shape predominantly after fertilization and its effect reaches a maximum at 8 days post anthesis coinciding with fruit landmark 4 representing the globular embryo stage of seed development. We also analyzed gene expression profiles of floral buds 10 days before anthesis (floral landmark 7), anthesis-stage flowers (floral landmark 10 and fruit landmark 1), and 5 days post anthesis fruit (fruit landmark 3). The expression profiles of the NILs that differ at sun showed that 34 genes were differentially expressed and most of them at a less than 2-fold difference. However, many genes were differentially expressed between the developmental times points, including many genes involved in phytohormone biosynthesis or signaling as well as organ identity and patterning of tomato fruit.

Project description:Purpose: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) serves as a research model for fruit development; however, while it is an important dietary source of antioxidant nutrients, the transcriptional regulation of genes that determine nutrient levels remains poorly understood. The goals of this study are to investigate dynamic changes of tomato genes during fruit development at transcription level and provides insight into the regulatory mechanism of fruit development and presents candidate transcription factors involved in secondary metabolism. Methods: The transcriptomes of fruit at seven developmental stages (7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and 49 days after flowering) from two tomato cultivars (Ailsa Craig and HG6-61) were evaluated using the Illumina sequencing platform. Raw sequences were filtered and the resulting sets of clean reads were used for the following analysis by tophat and edgeR software. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays Results: The average number of reads produced for each sample was 9.5 million, with the number of clean reads per sample ranging from 3.3 to 10.9 million. The number of reads that were mapped to the S. lycopersicum genome ranged from 1,786,380 to 6,780,667. A total of 26,397 genes, which were expressed in at least one developmental stage, were detected in the two cultivars, and the expression patterns of those genes could be divided into 20 groups using a K-mean cluster analysis. Gene Ontology term enrichment analysis indicated that genes involved in RNA regulation, secondary metabolism, hormone metabolism and cell wall metabolism were the most highly differentially expressed genes during fruit development and ripening. A co-expression analysis revealed several transcription factors whose expression patterns correlated with those of genes associated with ascorbic acid, carotenoid and flavonoid biosynthesis and 15 of these were validated with qRT–PCR. Correlation analysis revealed a high degree of consistency between transcript abundance determined by qRT-PCR or RNA-seq. Conclusions: Using RNA-seq analysis, the transcript abundance of a total of 26,397 genes was revealed. A total of 823 transcription factors were identified and their expression levels were compared to those of genes encoding enzymes involved in flavonoid, ascorbic acid and carotenoid biosynthesis. This revealed 20, 34 and 37 transcription factors putatively involved in the biosynthesis of flavonoids, ascorbic acid and carotenoids, respectively. This transcriptome study provides insight into the regulatory mechanism of fruit development and presents candidate transcription factors involved in secondary metabolism.

Project description:Early fruit development is crucial for crop production in tomato. After fertilization, the ovary undergoes a cell division and a cell expansion stages before maturation. Although the roles of regulatory signals such as hormone and carbohydrate during early fruit development have been studied, the spatial distribution and the sequential initiation of these regulatory signals is still poorly understood. Using the cultivated tomato “Moneymaker” as materials, we analyzed the transcriptome of the ovule and the ovary wall dissected from the different stages of the early developing fruits. These datasets provide us the whole picture about the spatial and temporal signal distribution of fruit formation which has not been studied in such a detailed manner. Our results suggest that the hormone signal was initiated in both ovule and ovary wall after fertilization. After that, the different signals were activated in ovule and ovary wall due to their distinct developmental processes. By analyzing the global expression profiling of hormone related genes, we found that the auxin might be synthesized in both ovule and ovary wall after fertilization. The expression pattern of sugar related genes revealed the different carbohydrate metabolism events occurred in ovule and ovary wall. At last, we identified a gene showed tissue and stage specific expression pattern and localized in previously reported fruit weight locus which might be selected during tomato breeding.

Three biological replicates were conducted with three sets of LA1589 sun NILs that differ at sun growing during different time periods resulting in 3 time points x 2 genotypes x 3 replicates = 18 array hybridizations.
