Reconstruction of the full-length transcriptome atlas using PacBio Iso-Seq provides insight into the alternative splicing in Gossypium australe.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Gossypium australe F. Mueller (2n?=?2x?=?26, G2 genome) possesses valuable characteristics. For example, the delayed gland morphogenesis trait causes cottonseed protein and oil to be edible while retaining resistance to biotic stress. However, the lack of gene sequences and their alternative splicing (AS) in G. australe remain unclear, hindering to explore species-specific biological morphogenesis. RESULTS:Here, we report the first sequencing of the full-length transcriptome of the Australian wild cotton species, G. australe, using Pacific Biosciences single-molecule long-read isoform sequencing (Iso-Seq) from the pooled cDNA of ten tissues to identify transcript loci and splice isoforms. We reconstructed the G. australe full-length transcriptome and identified 25,246 genes, 86 pre-miRNAs and 1468 lncRNAs. Most genes (12,832, 50.83%) exhibited two or more isoforms, suggesting a high degree of transcriptome complexity in G. australe. A total of 31,448 AS events in five major types were found among the 9944 gene loci. Among these five major types, intron retention was the most frequent, accounting for 68.85% of AS events. 29,718 polyadenylation sites were detected from 14,536 genes, 7900 of which have alternative polyadenylation sites (APA). In addition, based on our AS events annotations, RNA-Seq short reads from germinating seeds showed that differential expression of these events occurred during seed germination. Ten AS events that were randomly selected were further confirmed by RT-PCR amplification in leaf and germinating seeds. CONCLUSIONS:The reconstructed gene sequences and their AS in G. australe would provide information for exploring beneficial characteristics in G. australe.

Project description:BackgroundWe previously reported the development of a set of Gossypium hirsutum-G. australe alien chromosome addition lines. Naturally, however, G. hirsutum-G. australe chromosome exchanges were very limited, impeding the stable transference of useful genes from G. australe (G2G2 genome) into the most cultivated cotton, G. hirsutum (AADD).ResultsIn the present report, the pollen from a pentaploid (2n = AADDG2) of G. hirsutum-G. australe was irradiated with seven different doses ranging from 10 to 40 Grays and used to pollinate emasculated flowers of G. hirsutum over three consecutive years. Irradiation greatly increased the genetic recombination rates of the G. hirsutum and G. australe chromosomes and a total of 107 chromosome introgression individuals in 192 GISH-negative (with no GISH signal on chromosome) survived individuals, 11 chromosome translocation individuals (containing 12 chromosome translocation events) and 67 chromosome addition individuals were obtained in 70 GISH-positive (with GISH signal(s) on chromosome(s)) survived individuals, which are invaluable for mining desirable genes from G. australe. Multicolor genomic in situ hybridization results showed that there were three types of translocation, whole arm translocation, large alien segment translocation and small alien segment translocation, and that all translocations occurred between the G2-genome and the A-subgenome chromosomes in G. hirsutum. We also found that higher doses induced much higher rates of chromosome variation but also greatly lowered the seed viability and seedling survivability.ConclusionsIrradiation has been successfully employed to induce chromosome introgressions and chromosome translocations and promote chromosome exchanges between cultivated and wild species. In addition, by balancing the rates of chromosome introgression and translocation to those of seed set, seed germination, and seedling rates in the M1 generation, we conclude that the dosage of 20 Grays is the most suitable. The established methodology may guide the utilization of the tertiary gene pool of Gossypium species such as G. australe in cotton breeding in the future.

Project description:IntroductionAllotetraploid upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is native to the Mesoamerican and Caribbean regions, had been improved in the southern United States by the mid-eighteenth century, was then dispersed worldwide. However, a Hainan Island Native Cotton (HIC) has long been grown extensively on Hainan Island, China.ObjectivesExplore HIC's evolutionary relationship and genomic diversity with other tetraploid cottons, its origin and whether it was used for YAZHOUBU (Yazhou cloth, World Intangible Cultural Heritage) weaving, and the role of structural variations (SVs) in upland cotton domestication.MethodsWe assembled a high-quality genome of one HIC plant. We performed phylogenetic analysis, divergence time estimation, principal component analysis and population differentiation estimation using cotton assemblies and/or resequencing data. SVs were detected by whole-genome comparison. A F2 population was used for linkage analysis and to study effects of SVs. Buoyancy and salt water tolerance tests for seeds were conducted.ResultsWe found that the HIC belongs to G. purpurascens. G. purpurascens is best classified as a primitive race of G. hirsutum. The potential for long range transoceanic dispersal of G. purpurascens seeds was proved. A set of SVs, selective sweep regions between G. hirsutum races and cultivars, and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) of eleven agronomic traits were obtained. SVs, especially large-scale SVs, were found to have important effects on cotton domestication and improvement. Of them, eight large-scale inversions strongly associated with yield and fiber quality have probably undergone artificial selection in domestication.ConclusionG. purpurascens including HIC is a primitive race of G. hirsutum, probably disperse to Hainan from Central America by floating on ocean currents, may have been partly domesticated, planted and was likely used for YAZHOUBU weaving in Hainan much earlier than the Pre-Columbian period. SV plays an important role in cotton domestication and improvement.
