Project description:To study the expression profiles of hexaploid wheat chromosome 3B genes during the life cycle of a wheat plant and establish a transcriptome atlas for this chromosome, deep transcriptome sequencing was conducted in duplicates in 15 wheat samples corresponding to five different organs (leaf, shoot, root, spike, and grain) at three developmental stages each. Strand-non-specific and strand-specific libraries were used to produce 2.52 billion paired-end reads (232 Gb) and 615.3 single-end reads (62 Gb), respectively.
Project description:The biological functions of circadian clock on growth and development have been well elucidated in model plants, while its regulatory roles in crop species, especially the roles on yield-related traits are poorly understood. Here, we characterize the core clock gene CCA1 homoeologs in wheat and studied their biological functions in seedling growth and spike development. TaCCA1 homoeologs exhibit typical diurnal expression patterns which are positively regulated by rhythmic histone modifications (H3K4me3, H3K9ac and H3k36me3). TaCCA1s are preferentially located in the nucleus and tend to form both homo- and heterodimers. TaCCA1 overexpression (TaCCA1-OE) transgenic wheat plants show disrupted circadian rhythmicity coupling with reduced chlorophyll and starch content, as well as biomass at seedling stage, also decreased spike length, grain number per spike and grain size at the ripening stage. Further studies using DNA affinity purification followed by deep sequencing (DAP-seq) indicates that TaCCA1 preferentially binds to sequences similar to “evening elements” (EE) motif in the wheat genome, particularly genes associated with photosynthesis, carbon utilization and auxin homeostasis, and decreased transcriptional levels of these target genes are observed in TaCCA1-OE transgenic wheat plants. Collectively, our study provides novel insights into a circadian-mediated mechanism of gene regulation to coordinate photo synthetic and metabolic activities in wheat, which is important for optimal plant growth and crop yield formation.

Project description:Wheat panicle development is a coordinated process of proliferation and differentiation with distinctive phase and architecture changes. However, the multiple genes involved networks controlling this process remain enigmatic. Here, we characterized and dissected common wheat panicles in the stages of vegetative stage before elongation, elongation, single ridge, double ridge, glume primodium differentiation and floret differentiation, respectively, followed by RNA-seq and bioinformatics analysis to study genome-wide mRNA transcriptome profiling in wheat early spike development. High gene expression correlations between any two stages (R2>0.97) and only 4000 Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) out of 49624 expressed transcripts in all stages indicated that wheat early panicle development is just controlled by an small proportion of important genes. Three subgenomes (A, B and D) contribute equally to this process. K-means clustering analysis revealed the dynamic expression patterns of DEGs and Hierarchical Clustering analysis demonstrated that single bridge stage and double bridge stage are most important for wheat panicle development. Interestingly, 306 transcription factors (TFs) with various functions from different families were identified and the spatial-temporal expression patterns of some were verified by quantitative PCR or in situ hybridization. At early stages, repressing flowering TFs combined with AP2/ERF TFs and cytokinin promote inflorescence meristem development and repress meristem differentiation. At single ridge and double ridge stages, highly expressed stress-response TFs balance the interaction between stress response and development. During reproductive stages, crosstalk between auxin and cytokinin coordinate the meristem proliferation and differentiation, and promoting flowering TFs with polarity establishment TFs and MADS-box TFs promote floral meristem generation and floral organ identity and development. This dataset provided an ideal resource for wheat panicle developmental research. Our study uncovered the regulatory network for coordinated wheat early spike development and would eventually contribute to the improvement of grain number and crop yield.
Project description:Heat stress adversely affects global bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity. This study aimed to uncover the mechanisms underlying heat tolerance in wheat flag leaves and spike tissues. We compared protein abundance in flag leaves and spikes among wheat genotypes with contrasting heat tolerance—two tolerant (RAJ3765 and HD2932 )and two susceptible (HD2329 and HD2733)—under short-term heat stress (32°C) at ear peep. We identified 31 and 60 changes in protein abundance within flag leaves and spike tissues, respectively.
