Project description:Ancient domesticated emmer wheat from the southern Levant
| PRJEB64853 | ENA
Project description:Tetraploid emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccon) is a progenitor of the world's most widely grown crop, hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum), as well as the direct ancestor of tetraploid durum wheat (T. turgidum subsp. turgidum). Emmer was one of the first cereals to be domesticated in the old world; it was cultivated from around 9700 BC in the Levant1,2 and subsequently in south-western Asia, northern Africa and Europe with the spread of Neolithic agriculture3,4. Here, we report a whole-genome sequence from a museum specimen of Egyptian emmer wheat chaff, 14C dated to the New Kingdom, 1130-1000 BC. Its genome shares haplotypes with modern domesticated emmer at loci that are associated with shattering, seed size and germination, as well as within other putative domestication loci, suggesting that these traits share a common origin before the introduction of emmer to Egypt. Its genome is otherwise unusual, carrying haplotypes that are absent from modern emmer. Genetic similarity with modern Arabian and Indian emmer landraces connects ancient Egyptian emmer with early south-eastern dispersals, whereas inferred gene flow with wild emmer from the Southern Levant signals a later connection. Our results show the importance of museum collections as sources of genetic data to uncover the history and diversity of ancient cereals.

Project description:An untargeted liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method was used to analyze the content of peptides with celiac disease (CD) active epitope in the five wheat species common wheat, spelt, durum wheat, emmer and einkorn. In total, 494 peptides with CD active epitope were identified. Relevant differences between the species concerning their CD immunoractive potential based on the distribution of CD-active epitopes and relative quantities of peptides with CD-active epitope were demonstrated.

Project description:Six months old seed grown under well-watered greenhouse conditions were used in the current study. The seedlings of the two wild emmer wheat genotypes were vernalized on a moist germination paper (Hofman Manufacturing, Inc, Jefferson, OR, USA) for three weeks in the dark at 4oC, followed by three days acclimation at 24oC. Seedlings were then transplanted into 5L pots containing a mixture of pure quartz sand and peat (4:1 v/v), supplemented with a slow release fertilizer (2 g/L, Osmocote® Standard 14-14-14, Scotts-Sierra Horticulture, Marysville, OH, USA) and by a weekly application of 100 ml/pot of 0.5X Murashigi and Skoog growth solution (Sigma Chemical Co., St Louis, MO, USA). Pots were placed in a screen-house under natural winter conditions (December to February; 5-18°C) in Haifa, Israel (Mt. Carmel; 35o01′ E, 32o45′ N; 480 m above sea level) for 10 weeks and irrigated daily by a drip irrigation system. Three weeks prior to application of terminal drought stress, the pots were transferred to a controlled environment greenhouse (22/18 oC; 12 h day/12 h night) in order to prevent rainfall during the drought experiment. Five pots per genotype served as biological replicates, plants of three pots of each genotype/treatment were used for transcriptome study whereas two additional pots were used for quantitative PCR analysis (altogether five biological replicated of were used for quantitative real time PCR). Three individual plants were grown in each pot, one plant was used for measurements of leaf relative water content (RWC) (Barrs and Weatherley 1968), whereas the other two plants were used for sampling of flag leaf tissue for RNA extraction. Terminal drought stress (D) was applied at inflorescence emergence stage (Zadoks 50-60), (Zadoks et al. 1974), after emergence of 1-2 spikes in all biological replicates of both genotypes. The time from transplanting to inflorescence emergence stage was not significantly different between genotypes (70 days in the S genotype and 72 days in the R genotype). Drought stress application initiated after irrigation with excess amount of water in order to assure that all pots start the experiment at the same soil water capacity. Drought stress was imposed by withholding water for eight days until stress symptoms (i.e. leaf rolling and wilting symptoms) were visible in plants of both genotypes. Stress symptoms were more visible in the S genotype, however, leaf relative water content (RWC), measured after eight days of drought stress was low but was not significantly different between the two genotypes (49.68%±1.48 in the R genotype and 53.34%±1.83 in the S genotype). The well-watered control (C) plants were irrigated daily by ample amount of water. Flag leaf tissues of drought-stressed plants and well-watered control plants were harvested, immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80ºC for RNA extraction. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Krugman Tamar.

Project description:The spectrophotometric Bradford assay was adapted for the analysis of gluten protein contents (gliadins and glutenins) of spelt, durum wheat, emmer and einkorn. The assay was applied to a set of 300 samples, including 15 cultivars each of common wheat, spelt, durum wheat, emmer and einkorn cultivated at four locations in Germany in the same year. The total protein content was equally influenced by location and wheat species, however, gliadin, glutenin and gluten contents were influenced more strongly by wheat species than location. Einkorn, emmer and spelt had higher protein and gluten contents than common wheat at all four locations. However, common wheat had higher glutenin contents than einkorn, emmer and spelt resulting in increasing ratios of gliadins to glutenins from common wheat (< 3.8) to spelt, emmer and einkorn (up to 12.1). With the knowledge that glutenin contents are suitable predictors for high baking volume, cultivars of einkorn, emmer and spelt with good predicted baking performance were identified. Finally, spelt, emmer and einkorn were found to have a higher nitrogen partial factor productivity than common and durum wheat making them promising crops for a more sustainable agriculture.

Project description:Abstract from accompanying publication: "Bats host a number of viruses that cause severe disease in humans without experiencing overt symptoms of disease themselves. While the mechanisms underlying this ability to avoid sickness are not known, deep sequencing studies of bat genomes have uncovered genetic adaptations that may have functional importance in the antiviral response of these animals. Egyptian rousette bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) are the natural reservoir hosts of Marburg virus (MARV). In contrast to humans, these bats do not become sick when infected with MARV. A striking difference to the human genome is that Egyptian rousettes have an expanded repertoire of IFNW genes. To probe the biological implications of this expansion, we synthesized IFN-ω4 and IFN-ω9 proteins and tested their antiviral activity in Egyptian rousette cells. Both IFN-ω4 and IFN-ω9 showed antiviral activity against RNA viruses, including MARV, with IFN-ω9 being more efficient than IFN-ω4. Using RNA-Seq, we examined the transcriptional response induced by each protein. Although the sets of genes induced by the two IFNs were largely overlapping, IFN-ω9 induced a more rapid and intense response than did IFN-ω4. About 13% of genes induced by IFN-ω treatment are not found in the Interferome or other ISG databases, indicating that they may be uniquely IFN-responsive in this bat."
