Project description:With long-read assemblies, we delineate three origins of short interfering RNAs for chalcone synthase (CHS siRNAs) in Glycine max. Mutations from ii (yellow seed coat with black hilum) to i (fully pigmented) lack either a single antisense CHS1 gene by deletion or the partial 5’ subtilisin fragment-CHS1 gene region by a large inversion mutation. On the other hand, we show that the dominant I allele, with fully yellow seed coats, arose from the i black, wild soybean genome by an inverted duplication that places a partial 5’ DnaJ fragment next to slightly truncated CHS genes. In a direct I to i mutation, the two CHS genes are further truncated, destroying their capacity to produce siRNAs. The two-color saddle pattern of the ik allele arose by an inverted duplication event that places a partial 5’ P450 fragment in front of two inverted repeat CHS genes. Despite the importance of the three different 5’ promoters that abut inverted repeat CHS genes as drivers of precursor expression, the profiles of cognate gene family members for subtilisin, DnaJ, and P450 are not always limited to the seed coat as tightly as CHS siRNAs, implying that transcriptional or processing events for CHS dsRNA or siRNAs differ in other tissues.

Project description:We present results from deep sequencing of small RNA populations from several genotypes of soybean and demonstrate that the CHS siRNAs accumulated only in the seed coats of the yellow varieties having either the dominant I or i-i alleles and not in the pigmented seed coats with homozygous recessive i genotypes. However, the diagnostic CHS siRNAs did not accumulate in the cotyledons of genotypes with the dominant I or i-i alleles thus demonstrating the novelty of an endogenous inverted repeat region of CHS genes driving RNA silencing in trans of non-linked CHS family members in a tissue-specific manner. The phenomenon results in inhibition of a metabolic pathway by siRNAs in one tissue allowing expression of the flavonoid pathway and synthesis of secondary metabolites in other organs as the chalcone synthase small RNAs are found in the seed coats of yellow seeded soybean varieties but not in the cotyledons of the same genotype. In order to compare the population of chalcone synthase related small RNAs, we sequenced 3 to 6 million small RNAs using the Illumina Genome Analyzer from the following four soybean cultivars and tissues with specific genotypes at the I locus: Richland immature seed coats (homozygous for the dominant I allele that specifies yellow seed coat); Williams immature seed coats (homozygous for the dominant i-i allele that specifies yellow seed coat with pigmented hilum) Williams (i-i/i-i yellow) immature cotyledons (homozygous for the dominant i-i allele that specifies yellow seed coat with pigmented hilum); Williams 55 immature seed coats (a Williams isogenic line homozygous for the recessive i allele that specifics pigmented seed coats. All seed coats and cotyledons were dissected from green stage immature seeds within the fresh weight range of 50-75 mg.

Project description:We report the application of sequencing-by-synthesis technology for high-throughput profiling of small RNAs involved in Chalcone synthase A (CHS-A) sense cosuppression in petunia. Sense cosuppression is a classical form of eukaryotic post-transcriptional gene silencing. It was first reported in transgenic petunia, where a transgene overexpressing the host Chalcone Synthase-A (CHS-A) gene caused the degradation of the homologous transcripts and the loss of flower pigmentation. Though sense cosuppression is recognized as an RNA silencing mechanism, little evidence has been yet provided demonstrating its association with the generation of individual small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that are the assumed determinants. In this work, the deep sequencing of small RNAs in cosuppressed transgenic petunia and WT petunia respectively allowed for the identication of siRNAs that vastly predominate in the silenced flower and guide prominent cleavage events in CHS-A mRNA.

Project description:We previously showed CHS siRNAs levels to be high in immature seed coats of seed with dominant alleles of the I locus that controls seed color (Tuteja et al., Plant Cell 2009; Cho et al., Plos One, 2013) and to be much lower in several other tissues sampled (Zabala et al., BMC Plant Biology 2012). Here, we examined 15 additional small RNA populations by high-throughput sequencing of developing seed coats of various stages from cultivars with the dominant I and i-i alleles that specify yellow seed coats or from spontaneous mutations to pigmented seed coats. The CHS siRNAs were tissue specific and found at high levels of up to 5700 normalized RPMs (reads per millions) in immature seed coats but were less than 6 RPMs in libraries from 21 non-seed coat samples including the embryonic axis, different stages of seedlings cotyledons, vegetative buds, and shoot tips, illustrating the tightly controlled tissue-specific expression of the CHS siRNAs in seed coats.

Project description:The I locus is a 27-kb inverted repeat cluster of chalcone synthase genes CHS1-3-4 that mediates siRNA down-regulation of CHS7 and CHS8 target mRNAs during seed development leading to yellow seed coats lacking anthocyanin pigments. Here, we report small RNA sequencing of ten stages of seed development from a few days post fertilization through maturity, revealing the amplification from primary to secondary short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) occurring during development. The young seed populations had a higher proportion of siRNAs representing the CHS1-3-4 gene family members, consistent with this region as the origin of the primary siRNAs. More intriguingly, the very young seed had a higher proportion of 22-nt CHS siRNAs than did the mid-maturation seed. We infer that the primary CHS siRNAs increase during development to levels sufficient to trigger amplification of secondary CHS siRNAs from the CHS7/8 target mRNAs, enabling the total levels of 21-nt CHS siRNAs to rise dramatically. Further, we demonstrate that the soybean system exhibits tissue-specific CHS siRNA production because primary CHS siRNA levels are not sufficient to trigger secondary amplification in tissues other than the seed coat. High-throughput sequencing using Genome Analyzer II and Illumina HiSeq 2000 was performed with two biological replicates (Some stages don't have replicate).
