Mining of microsatellites using next generation sequencing of seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) transcriptome.

ABSTRACT: Gene based microsatellite markers are becoming more popular as compared to traditional random genomic microsatellite markers due to rapid and inexpensive method of isolation and their cross species portability. The present study documents occurrence of microsatellites in the transcriptome of seabuckthorn, a plant with immense medicinal, nutritional and ecological value. De novo assembly of over 80 million high quality short reads generated by high throughput next generation sequencing yielded 88297 putative unigenes. Of these, 7.69 % unigenes harbored microsatellite repeats with an average of one microsatellite per 6.704 Kb transcriptome. Dinucleotide repeats were most abundant followed by trinucleotide repeats. Microsatellites were densely populated in coding regions followed by 3' and 5' untranslated regions. AG and AAG type repeats were most frequently represented. Of the microsatellite positive unigenes, 48.81 % could be assigned gene ontology (GO) terms in order to assess associations between microsatellite containing unigenes and biological role of known genes. Utility of unigene specific microsatellites was assessed on the basis of polymorphism(s) detected in 18 seabuckthorn collections from Leh (India) using a set of randomly selected 25 unigene specific microsatellites. The findings presented here are likely to find immense use in future breeding and molecular biology research projects in seabuckthorn aiming at its overall development as a crop.

Project description:Purpose: Tag-based approach for global gene expression analysis has been revolutionised with the advent of next generation sequencing (NGS) technology. The aim of the present study is to present comprehensive view of differentially expressed genes under cold and freeze stress in seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) Methods: DeepSAGE, a tag based approach, was used to identify differentially expressed genes under cold and freeze treatments in seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.). The 30 days old plantlets, at six leaves stage, were subjected to cold stress (CS) at 4°C and freeze stress (FS) at -10°C treatment for 6 hr. The seedlings grown at 28°C were taken as control (CON). Total RNA from all the three samples was isolated. Illumina Gene Expression Sample Prep Kit and Solexa Sequencing Chip (Flowcell) were used for tag preparation and the main instruments used for sequencing included Illumina Cluster Station and Illumina HiSeqTM 2000 System. Bioinformatics analysis resulted in to high number of differentially expressed genes under cold and freeze stress. Results: 36.2 million raw tags including 13.9 million distinct tags were generated from three leaf tissue libraries (control, cold stress and freeze stress). After removing low quality tags, 35.5 million clean tags including 7 million distinct clean tags were obtained. In total, 11922 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified including 6539 up regulated and 5383 down regulated genes. Conclusions: DeepSAGE data of seabuckthorn provided useful resource and reference dataset for further functional genomics analysis in seabuckthorn and other important crops. The present study implicated a large number of genes with different biological functions expressing differentially in response to cold and freeze stress treatment. Isolation and further characterization of these genes will help researchers in understanding their role in cold and freeze tolerance in seabuckthorn and may provide important gene resources to be exploited for the development of stress tolerant crop plants in future.
