Transcriptome analysis during seed development provides insights into co-regulated and altered gene expression between a seeded wine grape variety and it seedless somatic variant.

ABSTRACT: We report the application of Illumina mRNA sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of the transcriptome of a seeded wine cultivar (wild-type) and its seedless somatic variant (mutant), sampled at three key growth stages of grapevine:Â E-L 15 (single flowers in compact groups), E-L 27 (young berries enlarging) and E-L 38 (berries harvest-ripe). By obtaining over 126 to 143 million and 102 to 127 million reads of 100-bp in length for the wild-type and mutant respectively, we have for the first time provided a holistic view of the transcriptional landscape during seed development in both phenotypes. We found that comparison of differentially expressed (DE) genes, gene patterns and gene enrichment between the wild-type and mutant distinguished transcriptional events in the two lines. For example, differential expression analysis in the pairwise comparison between developmental stages identified DE genes specific to the wild-type background, DE genes specific to the mutant background and DE genes commonly shared in both backgrounds. The analysis of differential expression patterns and functional category enrichment of DE genes highlighted specific and common significant coordination and enrichment of various biological processes during seed development which have lead to the identification of candidate genes for seedlessness that have altered expression in wild-type and mutant. In conclusion, we have shown here a logical approach to identify possible regulators and processes required for normal seed development that may be altered in the seedless phenotype, and highlighted the importance of somatic variants as a resources. Examination of absolute expression count for every gene at three key time-points in a seeded grapevine variety and its seedless somatic variant.

<h4>Background</h4>Seedless grapes are greatly appreciated for fresh and dry fruit consumption. Parthenocarpy and stenospermocarpy have been described as the main phenomena responsible for seedlessness in Vitis vinifera. However, the key genes underpinning molecular and cellular processes that play a significant role in seed development are not well characterized. To identify important regulators and mechanisms that may be altered in the seedless phenotype, we performed a comprehensive transcrip ...[more]

Project description:In the production of seedless table grapes, it is conventional to use plant growth regulators including gibberellins. Little is known about the differences in aroma volatiles between seedless-treated grapes and nontreated (seeded) grapes. Therefore, in this study, the aroma volatile profiles of seedless-treated and nontreated ‘Shine Muscat’ grape berries during ripening were compared using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Measurements of volatiles during ripening showed 202 peaks in the seedless-treated and nontreated whole grape berries. According to two-way analysis of variance, the number of volatiles with differences between seedless-treated and nontreated berries and/or between ripening stages was 123, whereas those with no differences between treatments and between ripening stages was 79. Two-way hierarchical clustering analysis for the 123 volatiles showed that seedless-treated berries at the early ripening stages were separated from the other berries, and the seedless-treated and nontreated berries at the post-ripening stage were classified into the same cluster. At the early ripening stage, more lipoxygenase-pathway volatiles were produced in the seedless-treated berries than in the non-treated ones. Linalool compounds increased in both seedless-treated and nontreated berries with ripening. Gene expression profile comparisons using principal component analysis of RNA-sequencing data showed that the seedless-treated berries ripened earlier than the nontreated berries at the early ripening stage. The number of differentially expressed genes in the seedless-treated berries decreased during ripening. Using weighted gene co-expression network analyses, 12 modules and 24 modules were detected in berry skin and flesh, respectively. The correlation analysis revealed that 33 volatiles correlated with four modules in the skin and 50 volatiles correlated with nine modules in the flesh. Most of the volatiles correlated with these modules were those that showed significant differences between treatments and/or ripening stages by two-way analysis of variance. The differences in the aroma volatile profiles between seedless-treated and nontreated berries decreased as harvest was delayed, suggesting that delaying the harvest may make it possible to bring the aroma of seedless-treated ‘Shine Muscat’ berries closer to the original aroma of the seeded berries.
