Project description:Post-transcriptional gene regulation is a critical layer of overall gene expression programs and microRNAs (miRNAs) play an indispensable role in this process by guiding cleavage on the messenger RNA targets. The miRNA-guided cleavage on the mRNA targets can be confirmed by analyzing the sequenced degradome or PARE or GMUCT libraries. However, high-throughput sequencing of PARE or degradome libraries is not as straightforward as sequencing small RNA libraries. Moreover, the currently used degradome or PARE methods utilize Mme1 restriction site and the resulting fragments are only 20-nt long, which often poses difficulty in distinguishing between the family members of the same gene family. In this modified degradome protocol, EcoP15I recognition site is introduced to the 3' end of the 5’RNA adaptor of TruSeq small RNA library, the double strand DNA adaptor sequence is modified to suit with the ends generated by the EcoP15I. These modifications allow amplification of the degradome library by primer pairs used for small RNA library preparation. Therefore, degradome library generated using this protocol can be sequenced as easily as small RNA library, and the resulting tag length is ~27-nt, which is longer than previous methods (20-nt). The protocol allows sequencing small RNA and degradome libraries simultaneously.
Project description:Chinese cedar (<i>Cryptomeria fortunei</i>) is a tree species with important ornamental, medicinal, and economic value. Terpenoids extracted from the essential oil of <i>C. fortunei</i> needles have been considered valuable ingredients in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. However, the possible gene regulation mechanisms that limit terpenoid biosynthesis in this genus are poorly understood. Here, we adopted integrated metabolome analysis, transcriptome, small-RNA (sRNA), and degradome sequencing to analyze the differences in terpenoid regulatory mechanisms in two different overwintering <i>C. fortunei</i> phenotypes (wild-type and an evergreen mutant). A total of 1447/6219 differentially synthesized metabolites (DSMs)/unigenes (DEGs) were detected through metabolome/transcriptome analyses, and these DSMs/DEGs were significantly enriched in flavonoid and diterpenoid biosynthesis pathways. In <i>C. fortunei</i> needles, 587 microRNAs (miRNAs), including 67 differentially expressed miRNAs (DERs), were detected. Among them, 8346 targets of 571 miRNAs were predicted using degradome data, and a 72-miRNA-target regulatory network involved in the metabolism of terpenoids and polyketides was constructed. Forty-one targets were further confirmed to be involved in terpenoid backbone and diterpenoid biosynthesis, and target analyses revealed that two miRNAs (i.e., aly-miR168a-5p and aof-miR396a) may be related to the different phenotypes and to differential regulation of diterpenoid biosynthesis. Overall, these results reveal that <i>C. fortunei</i> plants with the evergreen mutation maintain high terpenoid levels in winter through miRNA-target regulation, which provides a valuable resource for essential oil-related bioengineering research.
Project description:The small RNAs and their targets were characterized in Amborella genome by deep sequencing the small RNA populations of leaf tissue and opened-female flower tissue. The small RNA targets were also validated from degradome populations of leaf tissue and opened-female flower tissue. We generated integrative maps of small RNA profiles (sRNA-seq) and degradome (PARE-seq) profiles to characterize the miRNAs and their targets from Amborella.
Project description:Seed expansion in peanut is a complex biological process involving many gene regulatory pathways. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important regulatory roles in plant growth and development, but little is known about their functions during seed expansion, or how they contribute to seed expansion in different peanut lines. We examined seed miRNA expression patterns at 15 and 35 days after flowering ( DAF ) in two peanut 8th generation recombinant inbred lines (RIL8); 8106, a medium-pod variety, and 8107, a super-pod variety. Using high-throughput sequencing, we identified 1082 miRNAs in developing peanut seeds including 434 novel miRNAs. We identified 316 differentially expressed miRNAs by comparing expression levels between the two peanut lines. Interestingly, 24 miRNAs showed contrasting patterns of expression in the two RILs, and 149 miRNAs were expressed predominantly in only one RIL at 35 DAF. Also, potential target genes for some conserved and novel miRNAs were identified by degradome sequencing; target genes were predicted to be involved in auxin mediated signaling pathways and cell division. We validated the expression patterns of some representative miRNAs and 12 target genes by qPCR, and found negative correlations between the expression level of miRNAs and their targets. miR156e, miR159b, miR160a, miR164a, miR166b, miR168a, miR171n, miR172c-5p, and miR319d and their corresponding target genes may play key roles in seed expansion in peanut. The results of our study also provide novel insights into the dynamic changes in miRNAs that occur during peanut seed development, and increase our understanding of miRNA function in seed expansion.
