Project description:[original title] Understanding the complexity of fruit ripening by transcriptome analysis of rin mutant fruit and in silico analysis of promoters of differentially regulated genes A tomato MADS-box transcription factor, LeMADS-RIN, controls fruit ripening and mutation in this gene results in non-ripening phenotype of fruit. This mutation down-regulates certain ripening related ethylene responses, however, other ethylene responses are normal. A complete understanding of this mutation and its effect on fruit transcriptome during ripening is not clear. In this study, microarray analysis has been used to investigate the influence of rin mutation on fruit transcriptome at different stages of ripening. A total of 2,398 genes were found to be differentially expressed in wild type fruit pericarp, which on cluster analysis indicated a major shift in their expression profiles in rin mutant fruit. A total of 1,802 genes were found to be differentially expressed between wild type and rin mutant fruits and 17% of these genes encoded regulatory elements, suggesting that mutation in LeMADS-RIN results in disturbance in the regulatory transcriptional networks during ripening. Since LeMADS-RIN has been reported to bind to the CArG box of LeACS2 promoter, in-silico analysis of 51 putative promoter sequences of the genes, that showed ripening associated up-regulation in wild type but showed impairment in up-regulation in rin mutant fruit during ripening, were searched for presence of CArG box along with ethylene and auxin responsive elements. The study revealed that only 24 putative promoter sequences harbor LeMADS-RIN specific CArG box suggesting an alternative mode of regulation by LeMADS-RIN for CArG box deficient genes. Three chronological stages of tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) fruit ripening were compared between wild type and rin mutant

Project description:DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic mark that influences diverse biological processes in many eukaryotes. Recently, DNA methylation was proposed to regulate fleshy fruit ripening. Fleshy fruits can be distinguished by their ripening process as climacteric fruits, such as tomatoes, or non-climacteric fruits, such as strawberries. Tomatoes undergo a global decrease in DNA methylation during ripening, due to increased expression of a DNA demethylase gene. The dynamics and biological relevance of DNA methylation during ripening of non-climacteric fruits, or other climacteric fruits, are unknown. Here, we generated and characterized single-base resolution maps of the DNA methylome in strawberry fruit, from immature to ripe stages. We observed an overall loss of DNA methylation during strawberry fruit ripening. Thus, ripening-induced DNA hypomethylation occurs not only in climacteric fruit, but also in non-climacteric fruit. However, we discovered that the mechanisms underlying DNA hypomethylation during ripening of tomato and strawberry are distinct. Unlike in tomatoes, DNA demethylase genes were not up-regulated during ripening of strawberries. Instead, genes involved in RNA-directed DNA methylation were down-regulated during strawberry ripening. Further, ripening-induced DNA hypomethylation was associated with decreased siRNA levels, consistent with reduced RdDM activity. Therefore, we propose that DNA hypomethylation during strawberry ripening is caused by diminished RdDM activity. Finally, hundreds of ripening-related genes displayed altered expression that was associated with, and thus potentially regulated by, DNA hypomethylation during ripening. Our findings provide new insight into the DNA methylation dynamics during the ripening of non-climateric fruit and reveal a novel function of RdDM in regulating an important process in plant development.

Project description:Fruit ripening in Citrus is not well understood at the molecular level. Knowledge of the regulatory mechanism of citrus fruit ripening at the post-transcriptional level in particular is lacking. Here, we comparatively analyzed the miRNAs and their targeted genes in a spontaneous late-ripening mutant, ?Fengwan? sweet orange (MT) (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck), and its wild-type counterpart ('Fengjie 72-1', WT). Using high-throughput sequencing of small RNAs and RNA degradome tags, we identified 107 known and 21 novel miRNAs, as well as 225 target genes. A total of 24 miRNAs (16 known miRNAs and 8 novel miRNAs) were shown to be differentially expressed between MT and WT. The expression pattern of several key miRNAs and their target genes during citrus fruit development and ripening stages was examined. Csi-miR156k, csi-miR159 and csi-miR166d suppressed specific transcription factors (GAMYBs, SPLs and ATHBs) that are supposed to be important regulators involved in citrus fruit development and ripening. In the present study, miRNA-mediated silencing of target genes was found under complicated and sensitive regulation in citrus fruit. The identification of miRNAs and their target genes provide new clues for future investigation of mechanisms that regulate citrus fruit ripening.

Project description:The study of climacteric fruit ripening in tomato has been facilitated by the spontaneous ripening mutants Colorless non-ripening (Cnr), non-ripening (nor), and ripening inhibitor (rin). These mutants effect the genes encoding ripening transcription factors (TFs) SPL-CNR, NAC-NOR, and MADS-RIN causing pleiotropic defects to the ripening program. Here, we demonstrate that some ripening processes occur in the mutant fruit but at later stages of development compared to the wild type. The rin and nor mutant fruit exhibit similar quality traits to wildtype at later stages of ripening and senescence and delayed expression of ripening-associated genes. In addition, we propose that the Cnr mutant has a broader range of effects to fruit development than just fruit ripening. Cnr fruit show distinct differences from wild type in ripening phenotypic traits and gene expression profiles prior to the initiation of ripening. We provide new evidence that some mutants can produce more ethylene than basal levels and demonstrate ABA accumulation is also affected by the mutations. Studies have examined the relationship between the CNR, RIN, and NOR TFs based on protein-protein interactions and transcriptional regulation during fruit ripening. We describe the genetic interactions affecting specific fruit traits by using homozygous double mutants. Cnr predominantly influences the phenotype of the Cnr/nor and Cnr/rin double mutants but additional defects beyond either single mutation is evident in the transcriptome of the Cnr/nor double mutant. Our reevaluation of the Cnr, nor, and rin mutants provides new insights the utilization of the mutants in breeding and studying fruit development.

Project description:For exploring whether mRNA m6A modification participates in the regulation of tomato fruit ripening, we performed m6A-seq in three tomato fruit samples, including wild-type (WT) at 39 days post-anthesis (DPA) and 42 DPA, and Cnr mutant at 42 DPA, with three biological replicates. mRNA methylome analysis reveals that m6A methylation is a prevalent modification in mRNA of tomato fruit and the m6A sites are predominantly enriched in the stop codon and 3’ untranslated region, where m6A deposition has been proved to negatively correlate with gene expression. Hundreds of ripening-induced and ripening-repressed genes, including the SlDML2, were found to harbour changed m6A levels during fruit ripening or in the Cnr mutant, implicating the involvement of m6A modification in the regulation of fruit ripening.

Project description:Here, we found that the tomato jmjC domain-containing gene SlJMJ6 encodes a histone lysine demethylase that specifically demethylates H3K27 methylation. Overexpression of SlJMJ6 accelerated fruit ripening in tomato, which is associated with the up-regulated expression of a large number of ripening-related genes. Integrated analysis of RNA-seq and ChIP-seq data identified 55 genes that are targeted directly by SlJMJ6 and transcriptionally up-regulated with decreased H3K27m3 in SlJMJ6 overexpressing (SlJMJ6-OE) fruits. A large number of the SlJMJ6-regulated genes are involved in transcription regulation, ethylene biosynthesis, cell wall degradation, pigment biosynthesis, and hormone signaling. Fourteen ripening-related genes including RIN, ACS4, ACO1, PL, TBG4 were confirmed to be directly regulated by SlJMJ6 through removing H3K27me3. Taken together, these results indicated that SlJMJ6 is a ripening prompting H3K27me3 demethylase that activates the expression of the ripening-related genes by modulating H3K27me3, thereby facilitating fruit ripening in tomato. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the involvement of a histone lysine demethylase in the regulation of fruit ripening.
