Tissue-specific distribution of secondary metabolites in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.).

ABSTRACT: Four different parts, hypocotyl and radicle (HR), inner cotyledon (IC), outer cotyledon (OC), seed coat and endosperm (SE), were sampled from mature rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) by laser microdissection. Subsequently, major secondary metabolites, glucosinolates and sinapine, as well as three minor ones, a cyclic spermidine conjugate and two flavonoids, representing different compound categories, were qualified and quantified in dissected samples by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection and mass spectrometry. No qualitative and quantitative difference of glucosinolates and sinapine was detected in embryo tissues (HR, IC and OC). On the other hand, the three minor compounds were observed to be distributed unevenly in different rapeseed tissues. The hypothetic biological functions of the distribution patterns of different secondary metabolites in rapeseed are discussed.

Spontaneous gene flow from rapeseed (Brassica napus) to wild Brassica oleracea.

Project description:Research on the environmental risks of gene flow from genetically modified (GM) crops to wild relatives has traditionally emphasized recipients yielding most hybrids. For GM rapeseed (Brassica napus), interest has centred on the 'frequently hybridizing' Brassica rapa over relatives such as Brassica oleracea, where spontaneous hybrids are unreported in the wild. In two sites, where rapeseed and wild B. oleracea grow together, we used flow cytometry and crop-specific microsatellite markers to identify one triploid F1 hybrid, together with nine diploid and two near triploid introgressants. Given the newly discovered capacity for spontaneous introgression into B. oleracea, we then surveyed associated flora and fauna to evaluate the capacity of both recipients to harm cohabitant species with acknowledged conservational importance. Only B. oleracea occupies rich communities containing species afforded legislative protection; these include one rare micromoth species that feeds on B. oleracea and warrants further assessment. We conclude that increased attention should now focus on B. oleracea and similar species that yield few crop-hybrids, but possess scope to affect rare or endangered associates.

Extending the rapeseed gene pool with resynthesized Brassica napus II: Heterosis.

Project description:Hybrid breeding relies on the combination of parents from two differing heterotic groups. However, the genetic diversity in adapted oilseed rape breeding material is rather limited. Therefore, the use of resynthesized Brassica napus as a distant gene pool was investigated. Hybrids were derived from crosses between 44 resynthesized lines with a diverse genetic background and two male sterile winter oilseed rape tester lines. The hybrids were evaluated together with their parents and check cultivars in 2 years and five locations in Germany. Yield, plant height, seed oil, and protein content were monitored, and genetic distances were estimated with molecular markers (127 polymorphic RFLP fragments). Resynthesized lines varied in yield between 40.9 dt/ha and 21.5 dt/ha, or between 85.1 and 44.6% of check cultivar yields. Relative to check cultivars, hybrids varied from 91.6 to 116.6% in yield and from 94.5 to 103.3% in seed oil content. Mid-parent heterosis varied from -3.5 to 47.2% for yield. The genetic distance of parental lines was not significantly correlated with heterosis or hybrid yield. Although resynthesized lines do not meet the elite rapeseed standards, they are a valuable source for hybrid breeding due to their large distance from present breeding material and their high heterosis when combined with European winter oilseed rape.

Precision Genome Engineering Through Cytidine Base Editing in Rapeseed (Brassica napus. L)

Project description:Rapeseed is one of the world's most important sources of oilseed crops. Single nucleotide substitution is the basis of most genetic variation underpinning important agronomic traits. Therefore, genome-wide and target-specific base editing will greatly facilitate precision plant molecular breeding. In this study, four CBE systems (BnPBE, BnA3A-PBE, BnA3A1-PBE, and BnPBGE14) were modified to achieve cytidine base editing at five target genes in rapeseed. The results indicated that genome editing is achievable in three CBEs systems, among which BnA3A1-PBE had the highest base-editing efficiency (average 29.8% and up to 50.5%) compared to all previous CBEs reported in rapeseed. The editing efficiency of BnA3A1-PBE is ~8.0% and fourfold higher, than those of BnA3A-PBE (averaging 27.6%) and BnPBE (averaging 6.5%), respectively. Moreover, BnA3A1-PBE and BnA3A-PBE could significantly increase the proportion of both the homozygous and biallelic genotypes, and also broaden the editing window compared to BnPBE. The cytidine substitution which occurred at the target sites of both BnaA06.RGA and BnaALS were stably inherited and conferred expected gain-of-function phenotype in the T1 generation (i.e., dwarf phenotype or herbicide resistance for weed control, respectively). Moreover, new alleles or epialleles with expected phenotype were also produced, which served as an important resource for crop improvement. Thus, the improved CBE system in the present study, BnA3A1-PBE, represents a powerful base editor for both gene function studies and molecular breeding in rapeseed.

A transcriptome analysis reveals a role for the indole GLS-linked auxin biosynthesis in secondary dormancy in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.).

Project description:BackgroundBrassica napus L. has little or no primary dormancy, but exhibits great variation in secondary dormancy. Secondary dormancy potential in oilseed rape can lead to the emergence of volunteer plants that cause genetic contamination, reduced quality and biosafety issues. However, the mechanisms underlying secondary dormancy are poorly understood. In this study, cultivars Huaiyou-WSD-H2 (H) and Huaiyou-SSD-V1 (V), which exhibit low (approximately 5%) and high (approximately 95%) secondary dormancy rate, respectively, were identified. Four samples, before (Hb and Vb) and after (Ha and Va) secondary dormancy induction by polyethylene glycol (PEG), were collected to identify the candidate genes involved in secondary dormancy via comparative transcriptome profile analysis.ResultsA total of 998 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which are mainly involved in secondary metabolism, transcriptional regulation, protein modification and signaling pathways, were then detected. Among these DEGs, the expression levels of those involved in the sulfur-rich indole glucosinolate (GLS)-linked auxin biosynthesis pathway were markedly upregulated in the dormant seeds (Va), which were validated by qRT-PCR and subsequently confirmed via detection of altered concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), IAA conjugates and precursors. Furthermore, exogenous IAA applications to cultivar H enhanced secondary dormancy.ConclusionThis study first (to our knowledge) elucidated that indole GLS-linked auxin biosynthesis is enhanced during secondary dormancy induced by PEG, which provides valuable information concerning secondary dormancy and expands the current understanding of the role of auxin in rapeseed.

Genetic diversity and population structure of feral rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) in Japan.

Project description:Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is one of the most economically important oilseed crops worldwide. In Japan, it has been cultivated for more than a century and has formed many feral populations. The aim of this study was to elucidate the genetic diversity of feral rapeseeds by genotyping 537 individuals (among which 130 were determined to be genetically modified) sampled from various regions in Japan. Analysis of 30 microsatellite markers amplified 334 alleles and indicated moderate genetic diversity and high inbreeding (expected heterozygosity, 0.50; observed heterozygosity, 0.16; inbreeding coefficient within individuals, 0.68) within the feral populations. The Mantel test showed only an insignificant weak positive correlation between geographic distance and genetic distance. Analysis of molecular variance showed a greater genetic diversity among individuals than between populations. These results are in accordance with population structure assessed by using principal coordinate analysis and the program STRUCTURE, which showed that the 537 individuals could be assigned to 8 genetic clusters with very large genetic differences among individuals within the same geographic population, and that among feral individuals, many are closely related to rapeseed accessions in the NARO Genebank but some have unknown origins. These unique feral rapeseeds are likely to be affected by strong selection pressure. The results for genetically modified individuals also suggest that they have two different sources and have a considerable degree of diversity, which might be explained by hybridization with nearby individuals and separation of hybrid cultivars. The information obtained in this study could help improve the management of feral rapeseed plants in Japan.

Altered Fruit and Seed Development of Transgenic Rapeseed (Brassica napus) Over-Expressing MicroRNA394.

Project description:Fruit and seed development in plants is a complex biological process mainly involved in input and biosynthesis of many storage compounds such as proteins and oils. Although the basic biochemical pathways for production of the storage metabolites in plants are well characterized, their regulatory mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we functionally identified rapeseed (Brassica napus) miR394 with its target gene Brassica napus leaf curling responsiveness (BnLCR) to dissect a role of miR394 during the fruit and seed development. Transgenic rapeseed plants over-expressing miR394 under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter were generated. miR394 over-expression plants exhibited a delayed flowering time and enlarged size of plants, leaf blade, pods and seed body, but developed seeds with higher contents of protein and glucosinolates (GLS) and lower levels of oil accumulation as compared to wild-type. Over-expression of miR394 altered the fatty acid (FA) composition by increasing several FA species such as C16:0 and C18:0 and unsaturated species of C20:1 and C22:1 but lowering C18:3. This change was accompanied by induction of genes coding for transcription factors of FA synthesis including leafy cotyledon1 (BnLEC1), BnLEC2, and FUSCA3 (FUS3). Because the phytohormone auxin plays a crucial role in fruit development and seed patterning, the DR5-GUS reporter was used for monitoring the auxin response in Arabidopsis siliques and demonstrated that the DR5 gene was strongly expressed. These results suggest that BnmiR394 is involved in rapeseed fruit and seed development.

Different effects of calcium and penconazole on primary and secondary metabolites of <i>Brassica napus</i> under drought.

Project description:The effects of penconazole (PEN) and calcium (Ca2+) on physiological and biochemical parameters were investigated in two canola cultivars (RGS003 and Sarigol) under water stress. Drought increased protein content in RGS003, but PEN, Ca2+ and PEN-Ca2+ treatment induced protein content in Sarigol. PEN, Ca2+ and PEN-Ca2+ treatment enhanced soluble sugar content in RGS003. In contrast to Sarigol, drought and PEN treatment induced total phenol content in RGS003. Flavonoid content increased by drought, but Ca2+ and PEN-Ca2+ treatment decreased it in both cultivars. Ca2+ and PEN-Ca2+ treatment enhanced tocopherol content in both cultivars under drought stress. Drought stress increased Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity in Sarigol. PEN-Ca2+ treatment increased relative expression of PAL and its activity in RGS003. Fatty acid composition was modified by drought, PEN and Ca2+. Saturated fatty acid (stearic acid) content declined but unsaturated fatty acid (oleic acid) content enhanced in both cultivars under drought. The application of PEN and Ca2+ decreased unsaturated fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acid) in RGS003 under drought. According to our results, PEN and Ca2+ changed physiological and biochemical parameters and therefore these compounds are suggested for reduction of the negative effects of drought stress in canola.

Transcriptomic analysis of rapeseed (Brassica napus) flower buds exposure to male gametocide amidosulfuron

Project description:To reveal the possible molecular mechanism underpinning the male sterility induced by a sulfonyflurea herbicide amidosulfuron, a comparative transcriptome analysis between rapeseed under amidosulfuron folia spray and the contrast was conducted by using Illumina digital gene expression tag profiling technology (DGE). A total of 54 up-regulated and 119 down-regulated DETs (differentially expressed transcripts) were annotated by 357 GOs and 32 KEGG pathways, indicating that the reaction to amidosulfuron exposure is complicated in rapeseed. Some interesting GOs included (1) amino acid metabolite, (2) energy metabolite, (3) carbohydrate, lipid, protein metabolite, (4) cell division, growth and death, (5) stimulus and defense response, (6) chlorophyll and mitochondria, (7) hormone, (8) oxidoreductase, and (9) flavonoid biosynthesis. Expression of most genes in cell division, growth and death category, and flavonoid biosynthesis were down-regulated. Ethylene mediated signaling pathway was up-regulated, while auxin mediated signaling pathway was down-regulated. Stimulus and defense response were induced.

Genome-wide screening and analysis of imprinted genes in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) endosperm.

Project description:Species-specific genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon leading to parent-of-origin-specific differential expression of maternally and paternally inherited alleles. To date, no studies of imprinting have been reported in rapeseed, a tetraploid species. Here, we analysed global patterns of allelic gene expression in developing rapeseed endosperms from reciprocal crosses between inbred lines YN171 and 93275. A total of 183 imprinted genes, consisting of 167 maternal expressed genes (MEGs) and 16 paternal expressed genes (PEGs), were identified from 14,394 genes found to harbour diagnostic SNPs between the parental lines. Some imprinted genes were validated in different endosperm stages and other parental combinations by RT-PCR analysis. A clear clustering of imprinted genes throughout the rapeseed genome was identified, which was different from most other plants. Methylation analysis of 104 out of the 183 imprinted genes showed that 11 genes (7 MEGs and 4 PEGs) harboured differentially methylated regions (DMRs). Unexpectedly, only 1 MEG out of these 11 genes had a DMR that exhibited high CG methylation rate in paternal allele and had big difference between parent alleles. These results extend our understanding of gene imprinting in plants and provide potential avenues for further research in imprinted genes.
