Cytological and transcriptome analyses reveal abrupt gene expression for meiosis and saccharide metabolisms that associated with pollen abortion in autotetraploid rice.


ABSTRACT: Autotetraploid rice is a useful germplasm that has four chromosome sets and strong biological advantages; however, low fertility limits its commercial utilization. Little information is available about the DNA variation and differential gene expressions associated with low fertility in autotetraploid rice. In the present study, 81 SNPs and 182 InDels were identified in T449 (an autotetraploid rice line with low fertility) compared to E249 (diploid counterpart) by whole-genome re-sequencing. We detected only three non-synonymous SNPs and six large-effect InDels, which were associated with three and six genes, respectively. A total of 75 meiosis-related differentially expressed genes were detected during the meiosis stage by transcriptome analysis, including OsMTOPVIB, which is essential for meiotic DSB formation, and OsMOF, which takes part in homologous chromosome pairing and synapsis. Approximately 20.69% lagging chromosome at metaphase I and 4.65% abnormal tetrad were observed in T449. Moreover, transcriptome analysis revealed down-regulation of a sucrose transporter (OsSUT5) and two monosaccharide transporters (OsMST1 and OsMST8) in T449 at the single microspore stage, and their expression levels were verified by qRT-PCR. Cytological observation of saccharide distribution showed abnormal accumulation of saccharides in T449 and the contents of fructose and glucose were markedly higher in T449 than E249 at the single microspore stage. Our results suggested that polyploidy not only induces abrupt expression changes in the meiosis-related genes that lead to abnormal chromosome behavior, but also causes changes in the saccharide distribution and expression patterns of saccharide-related genes, which jointly causes sterility in the autotetraploid rice.
