Project description:Plants display remarkable developmental and phenotypic plasticity in order to adapt to their environment. It has long been postulated that epigenetics plays a key role in these processes, but with one or two exceptions, solid evidence for the role of epigenetic variation in these processes is lacking. A key impediment to understanding these processes is the lack of information on the extent of epigenetic variation and how it relates to genetic and phenotypic variation in natural population, both over the lifecycle of an individual, and over evolutionary time. Here we show that genetic variants under selection in the north of Sweden appear to drive variation in DNA methylation, which in turn is highly correlated with local climate. Selective sweeps and genetic variants associated with adaptation to the local environment have previously been identified within the Swedish Arabidopsis population. Our finding that they harbour variants responsible for climate associated epigenetic variation strongly supports the role of epigenetic processes in local adaptation. These findings provide a basis for further dissecting the role of epigenetics in local adaptation at the molecular level Bisulfite sequencing of 113 F2 crosses between T550 and Brosarp-11-135.

Project description:In UV sexual systems, sex is determined during the haploid phase of the life cycle and males have a V chromosome whereas females have a U chromosome. Previous work in the model Ectocarpus revealed that the V chromosome has a dominant role in male sex determination and the female developmental program being a ‘default’ program, triggered in the absence of the male master sex determination gene(s). Here, we describe the identification of a genetically male giant kelp strain presenting phenotypic features typical of a female, despite lacking the U-specific region. The conversion to the female developmental program is however incomplete, because gametes of this feminised male are unable to produce the sperm-attracting pheromone lamoxiren. We identify the transcriptomic pathways underlying the male and female specific developmental programs and show that the phenotypic feminisation of the variant strain is associated with both feminisation and de-masculinisation of gene expression patterns. Importantly, the feminisation phenotype was associated with the dramatic downregulation of two V-specific genes including a candidate sex-determining gene on the V-specific region. Our results reveal the transcriptional changes associated with sexual differentiation in a UV system with extensive sexual dimorphism, disentangling the role of sex-linked genes and autosomal gene expression in the initiation of the male and female developmental programs. Overall, the data presented here imply that the U-specific region in the giant kelp is not required to initiate the female developmental program, but is critical to produce fully functional eggs, arguing against the idea that female is the ‘default’ sex in this species.

Project description:Gene expression and complex phenotypes are determined by the activity of cis-regulatory elements. However, an understanding of how extant genetic variants affect cis-regulatory activity remains limited. Here, we investigated the consequences of cis-regulatory diversity using single-cell genomics of >0.7 million nuclei across 172 maize inbreds. Our analyses pinpointed cis-regulatory elements distinct to domesticated maize and how transposons rewired the regulatory landscape. We found widespread chromatin accessibility variation associated with >4.6 million genetic variants with largely cell-type-specific effects. Variants in TEOSINTE BRANCHED1/CYCLOIDEA/PROLIFERATING CELL FACTOR binding sites were the most prevalent determinants of chromatin accessibility. Finally, integration of genetic variants associated with chromatin accessibility, organismal trait variation, and population differentiation revealed how local adaptation has rewired regulatory networks in unique cellular context to alter maize flowering phenotypes.
