Project description:The aim of the experiment was to characterise a P450 monooxygenase mutant involved in the biosynthetic pathway of haemolytic saponins. Saponins are a group of glycosidic compounds with an antimicrobial function. The gene CYP716A12 is responsible for an early step in saponin biosythesis. Transcriptome analysis of a CYP716A12 mutant was performed to investigate its function. 6 samples were used in the experiment: 3 biological replicates of CYP716A12 mutant plants and 3 biological replicates of wild-type plants.

Project description:Expression profiling analyses for 5 maize inbreds and 4 hybrids, chosen to represent diversity in genotypes and heterosis responses, revealed a correlation between genetic diversity and transcriptional variation. The majority of differentially expressed genes in each of the different hybrids exhibited additive expression patterns, and ~25% exhibited statistically significant non-additive expression profiles. Among the non-additive profiles, ~80% exhibited hybrid expression levels between the parental levels, ~20% exhibited hybrid expression levels at the parental levels and ~1% exhibited hybrid levels outside the parental range. These findings indicate that the frequencies of additive and non-additive expression patterns are very similar across a range of hybrid lines. Keywords: Genotype comparison series

Project description:Heterosis is most frequently manifested as the superior performance of a hybrid than either parent, especially under stress conditions. Nitric oxide (NO) is a well-known gaseous signaling molecule that acts as a functional component during plant growth, development, and defense responses. In this study, the Brassica napus L. hybrid (F1, NJ4375 × MB1942) showed significant heterosis under salt stress, during both the germination and post-germination periods. These were in parallel with the changes in redox and ion homeostasis. The stimulation of endogenous NO was more pronounced in hybrid plants, compared to parental lines, which might be mediated by nitrate reductase. Proteomic and biochemical analysis further revealed that protein abundance related to several metabolic processes, including the chlorophyll biosynthesis, the proline metabolism, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolism pathway, were greatly suppressed by salt stress in the two parental lines, respect to those in hybrid. Above responses in hybrid plants were intensified by a NO-releasing compound, but abolished by a NO scavenger, both of which were matched with the changes in chlorophyll and proline contents. Taken together, we proposed that heterosis derived from F1 hybridization in salt stress tolerance might be mediated by NO-dependent activation of defense responses and metabolic processes.

Project description:Combining dissimilar parents often leads to increased vigor in the hybrid offspring. “Heterosis” describes both this behavior and its underlying Mendelian and non-Mendelian interactions [1], although its molecular basis remains largely unknown. Recent comparisons of small RNA (sRNA) profiles from parents and their heterotic progeny identified correlations between interparental 24-nucleotide (24-nt) RNA variation and non-additive 24-nt RNA changes in the resulting hybrid [2,3]. 24-nt RNAs guide de novo cytosine methylation, and several proteins are required for their biogenesis, including a Snf2-like ATPase: required to maintain repression1 (RMR1) [4]. We found height variation between heterotic hybrids +/- RMR1 activity, implicating a role for RMR1 in heterosis. Based on the published correlations mentioned above [2,3], we hypothesized that RMR1-loss reduces parental sRNAs, altering their relative ratios and changing the sRNA profiles in the resulting hybrid from those of a standard hybrid (from +RMR1 parents). To probe this hypothesis, we profiled sRNAs from parents and hybrids +/- RMR1 function, limiting the parental diversity to only portions of chromosomes 6 and 9. Our analysis will address how RMR1 loss changes hybrid sRNAs in the presence and absence of underlying genetic variation and help to determine how this loss results in different phenotypic outcomes from heterotic crosses. 1.

Project description:Heterosis refers to the superior performance of the hybrid compared with its parental lines. Despite several genetic models and different molecular pathways proposed to explain heterosis, it remains unclear how hybrid cells integrate complementary gene expression, metabolic accumulation and/or hormone signaling to drive heterotic growth. In this work, using integrative omics combined with biochemical analyses, we uncovered an enhanced TORC1 signaling in the elite hybrid rice Shanyou 63 (SY63) relative to the parental lines, which was associated with accumulation of growth-promoting (translation, cell division) and energy metabolic (glycolysis and TCA) proteins, enhanced energy metabolic activities, increased histone H3 and cellular protein lysine acetylation, and superior growth of the panicle meristem. Metabolism of nuclear-cytosolic acetyl-Coenzyme A was also enhanced in the hybrid, which paralleled with increases of histone H3 acetylation to selectively target growth-promoting and metabolic genes expression. Lysine acetylation of cellular proteins including TORC1, ribosomal proteins, and energy metabolic enzymes was also augmented and/or remodeled, potentially modulating their activities. The data indicate that the positive feedback loop between TOR-signaling, energy-producing metabolic activity, lysine acetylation, and growth-promoting gene expression is a mechanism underling the superior growth rate of the hybrid. The results imply that any enhanced activity within the loop would drive and sustain the TOR signaling to promote superior growth of hybrids, which may represent a general mechanistic model for heterosis.

Hale et al (2007) PLoS Biology We used an interchange chromosome (T6-9 043-1) introgressed into B73 (~95% B73) to create a local region of genetic diversity when crossed as a female parent to 100% B73 individual. Small RNAs from immature cobs were sequenced from both of these parents and their resulting hybrid (2 samples each). Additionally, a similar cross where the T6-9 containing female parent lacked RMR1 activity (rmr1-1 / rmr1-1) was used to generate a counterpart hybrid whose small RNAs were also profiled (2 samples) from immature cobs. Finally, small RNAs from 2 immature cobs of an unrelated rmr1 heterozygote (again highly introgressed into B73) were sequenced as well.

Project description:Heterosis is a phenomenon that hybrids exhibit superior performance relative to the parental phenotypes. However, most studies focused on aboveground agronomic traits. Thus, systematic investigation on root heterosis, particularly at reproductive stage in rice is needed to be carried out. The recent advent of RNA sequencing technology (RNA-Seq) provides an opportunity to conduct in-depth transcript profiling for heterosis study.Using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform, the root transcriptome of a super-hybrid rice Xieyou9308 and its parents were analyzed at tillering and heading stages. Totally, 829 and 4186 differentially expressed genes between the hybrid and its parents (DGHP) were detected at tillering stage and heading stage, respectively. In this study, the DGHP were significantly enriched in pathways such as carbohydrate metabolism and plant hormones signal transduction at heading stage, and most of the key genes involved in the two pathways were up-regulated in the hybrid. Several significant DGHP that could be mapped to QTLs for yield and root traits were also involved in carbohydrate metabolism and plant hormones signal transduction pathways. The candidate transcripts may underlie the heterosis and significantly contribute to root development and yield production.
