Project description:The evolution of maize yields under drought is of particular concern in the context of climate change and human population growth. To better understand the mechanisms associated with the genetic polymorphisms underlying the variations of traits related to drought tolerance, we used a systems genetics approach integrating high-throughput phenotypic, proteomics and genomics data acquired on 254 maize hybrids grown under two watering conditions. We show that the genetic architecture of protein abundances depends on protein function and that water deficit strongly remodeled the proteome and induced a reprogramming of the genetic control of the abundances of proteins involved in drought and stress response. These findings bring several lines of evidence supporting candidate genes at many loci and provide novel insight into the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance.

Project description:We have used genome-wide proteomic profiling to examine leaves of hybrids for molecular phenotypes. Profiles of the proteome of maize leaves revealed hybrid-specific differences in the chloroplast and mitochondria; levels of their energy transduction complexes and ribosomes were selectively elevated 10-20% above mid-parent levels. Each of these protein machines is comprised of nuclear-encoded and organelle-encoded subunits and we refer to them as digenomic protein complexes. Expression heterosis of the organelle ribosome proteins was quantitatively predictive of growth heterosis in a set of hybrids. Ethylene biosynthetic enzyme levels were reduced in hybrids and an ethylene biosynthesis mutant in an inbred background partially phenocopied the molecular differences seen in hybrids indicating that reduced ethylene levels may play a role in maize heterosis.

Project description:<p>Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, refers to the phenomenon where F1 hybrids outperform their parental inbred lines. Despite more than a century of intensive research across various species, the genetic basis and environmental regulation of heterosis, particularly belowground, remain poorly understood. Recent studies have suggested that the soil microbiome may influence the expression of heterosis. However, it remains unclear whether and to what extent the manifestation of heterosis shapes the associated microbiome under abiotic stress, and how these microbiomes, in turn, influence the heterotic phenotype in response to stress. In this study, we explored the potential role of rhizosheath formation in maize growth heterosis under nitrogen deprivation. Soil sterilization and inoculation experiments with bacteria of the genus Massilia demonstrated that several functional root traits contribute to the manifestation of rhizosheath-associated heterosis. Untargeted metabolomics profiling and validation with flavone-deficient mutants indicated that Massilia promote flavone secretion, which is linked to rhizosheath formation. In addition, the integration of rhizosheath transplantation experiments with soil metagenomic sequencing data confirmed that rhizosheath size determined plant growth performance under stress conditions. Taken together, these results suggest that the rhizosheath formation, which integrates root development, root exudates, and their associated microbiome, can be considered as an adaptive and heritable root trait with potential applications in modern crop breeding to combat global climate change.</p>

Project description:Heterosis is most frequently manifested by the substantially increased vigorous growth of hybrids compared with their parents. Investigating genomic variations in natural populations is essential to understand the initial molecular mechanisms underlying heterosis in plants. Here, we characterized the genomic architecture associated with biomass heterosis in 200 Arabidopsis hybrids. The genome-wide heterozygosity of hybrids makes a limited contribution to biomass heterosis, and no locus shows an obvious overdominance effect in hybrids. However, the accumulation of significant genetic loci identified in genome wide association studies (GWAS) in hybrids strongly correlates with better-parent heterosis (BPH). Candidate genes for biomass BPH fall into diverse biological functions, including cellular, metabolic, and developmental processes and stimulus-responsive pathways. Important heterosis candidates include WUSCHEL, ARGOS, and some genes that encode key factors involved in cell cycle regulation. Interestingly, transcriptomic analyses in representative Arabidopsis hybrid combinations reveal that heterosis candidate genes are functionally enriched in stimulus-responsive pathways, including responses to biotic and abiotic stimuli and immune responses. In addition, stimulus-responsive genes are repressed to low-parent levels in hybrids with high BPH, whereas middle-parent expression patterns are exhibited in hybrids with no BPH. Our study reveals a genomic architecture for understanding the molecular mechanisms of biomass heterosis in Arabidopsis, in which the accumulation of the superior alleles of genes involved in metabolic and cellular processes improve the development and growth of hybrids, whereas the overall repressed expression of stimulus responsive genes prioritizes growth over responding to environmental stimuli in hybrids under normal conditions.

Project description:Hybrid plants and animals grow larger and more vigorously than the parents, a common phenomenon known as hybrid vigor or heterosis. Heterosis often correlates with the genetic distance between hybridizing parents, but the mechanism for this is largely unknown. We found that genetic distance was correlated with natural variation of stress responses under the control of the circadian clock. CIRCADIAN-CLOCK-ASSOCIATED1 (CCA1) and LATE-ELONGATED-HYPOCOTYL (LHY) or CCA1 alone mediate expression amplitudes and periods of these stress-responsive genes in stress and non-stress conditions. In Arabidopsis thaliana intraspecific hybrids, genome-wide expression of many biotic and abiotic stress-responsive genes was diurnally repressed to promote biomass heterosis, which is associated with several biomass quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Expression differences in four selected stress-responsive genes among ten ecotypes could be used to predict heterosis in their hybrids. Parent plants with larger expression differences between stress-responsive genes produced higher-vigor hybrids, while those with smaller differences produced lower-vigor hybrids. Stress-responsive genes were epigenetically repressed in the hybrids under normal conditions but induced during times of stress at certain times of the day, balancing the tradeoff between stress responses and growth. Consistently, repressing the stress genes in diploids increased growth vigor. We demonstrate how hybrids manipulate diurnal stress-responsive gene expression to enhance growth vigor. Both circadian and epigenetic regulation play key roles in the altered expression of stress-responsive genes in hybrids. Our findings provide a conceptual advance and mechanistic understanding of heterosis, as well as selection criteria for parents to be effectively used for producing high-yield hybrids.

Project description:Many animal and plant species exhibit increased growth rates, reach larger sizes and, in the cases of crops and farm animals, produce higher yields when bred as hybrids between genetically differing strains, a phenomenon known as hybrid vigour or heterosis. Despite the importance of heterosis, and its extensive genetic analysis, there has been little understanding of its molecular basis. We aimed to determine whether characteristics of the leaf transcriptome, as an indicator of the innate functional genetic architecture of a plant line, could be used as markers to predict heterosis and the performance of hybrids, a methodology we term Association Transcriptomics. Relationships between transcript abundance of specific genes and the values of heterosis and heterosis-dependent traits were identified and mathematical models were constructed that relate gene expression characteristics in inbred lines of Arabidopsis thaliana and maize with vegetative biomass and for grain yield, respectively, in corresponding hybrids.

Project description:To understand the transcriptome changes during drought tolerance in maize, the drought-tolerant line Han21 and drought-sensitive line Ye478, which show substantial differences in drought tolerance at the seedling stage, were selected for this study. Using the GeneChip Maize Genome Arrays, we applied genome-wide gene expression analysis to the two genotypes under gradual drought stress and re-watering. We identified 2172 common regulated transcripts in both lines under drought stress, with 1084 common up-regulated transcripts and 1088 common down-regulated transcripts. Among the 2172 transcripts, 58 potential protein kinases and 117 potential transcription factors were identified. The potential components of the ABA signaling pathway were identified from the common regulated transcripts. We also identified 940 differentially regulated transcripts between the two lines. Among the 940 transcripts, the differential expression levels of 29 transporters and 15 cell wall-related transcripts may contribute to the different tolerances of the two lines. Additionally, we found that the drought-responsive genes in the tolerant Han21 line recovered more quickly when the seedlings were re-watered, and 311 transcripts in the tolerant Han21 line were exclusively up-regulated at the re-watering stage compared to the control and stress conditions. Our study provides a global characterization of two maize inbred lines during drought stress and re-watering and will be valuable for further study of the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance in maize.

Project description:Drought stress is the main factor restricting maize yield. Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) could significantly improve the drought resistance and yield of many crops. However, its high production costs and unclear long-term impact on soil ecology limit its large-scale application. In this study, genes (PgsA, B, C) that participate in γ-PGA synthesis were cloned from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and transformed into maize for the first time. Under drought stress, transgenic maize significantly increased the ear length, ear weight and grain weight by 50% compared to the control, whereas the above yield characteristics increased by 2.33, 13.06, 19.34 and 18.36%, respectively under normal growth conditions. γ-PGA was mainly expressed in the mesophyll cells of maize leaf rosette structure and improved drought resistance and yield by protecting and increasing the expression of genes for the photosynthetic and carbon fixation. This study is an important exploration for maize drought stress molecular breeding and building resource-saving agriculture.
