Jasmonate and Ethylene-Regulated Ethylene Response Factor 22 Promotes Lanolin-Induced Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in 'Zaosu' Pear (Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd.) Fruit.

ABSTRACT: Anthocyanin contributes to the coloration of pear fruit and enhances plant defenses. Members of the ethylene response factor (ERF) family play vital roles in hormone and stress signaling and are involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis. Here, PbERF22 was identified from the lanolin-induced red fruit of 'Zaosu' pear (Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd.) using a comparative transcriptome analysis. Its expression level was up- and down-regulated by methyl jasmonate and 1-methylcyclopropene plus lanolin treatments, respectively, which indicated that PbERF22 responded to the jasmonate- and ethylene-signaling pathways. In addition, transiently overexpressed PbERF22 induced anthocyanin biosynthesis in 'Zaosu' fruit, and a quantitative PCR analysis further confirmed that PbERF22 facilitated the expression of anthocyanin biosynthetic structural and regulatory genes. Moreover, a dual luciferase assay showed that PbERF22 enhanced the activation effects of PbMYB10 and PbMYB10b on the PbUFGT promoter. Therefore, PbERF22 responses to jasmonate and ethylene signals and regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis. This provides a new perspective on the correlation between jasmonate-ethylene crosstalk and anthocyanin biosynthesis.

Project description:Although pear is an important edible fruit species, the current available genomic information is limited. Combining the Solexa/ Illumina RNA-seq high-throughput sequencing approach with Digital Gene Expression (DGE) analysis results in a powerful transcriptomic study. This publication reports the transcriptome profiling analysis of Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd. using RNA-seq and DGE in order to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying biological aspects of pear, especially fruit development and maturation.Using high-throughput Illumina RNA-seq combined with a tag-based Digital Gene Expression (DGE) system, de novo transcriptome assembly and gene expression analysis of P. bretschneideri were performed at an unprecedented depth (5.47 gigabase pairs). Approximately 60.77 million reads were obtained, trimmed, and assembled into 90,227 unigenes. The unigenes comprised 17,619 contig clusters and 72,608 singletons and were an average length of 508 bp and had an N50 of 635 bp. Sequence similarity analyses against six public databases (Uniprot, NR and COGs at NCBI, Pfam, InterPro and KEGG) found 61,636 unigenes that could be annotated with gene descriptions, conserved protein domains, or gene ontology terms. 34.6% of the unigenes (31,215) were annotated against KEGG into 121 known metabolic or signaling pathways. DGE libraries of five different developmental fruit stages were constructed and analyzed, and the gene expression variations between two consecutive stages were compared. Thousands of genes showed significantly different expression levels based on the various comparisons. Extensive transcriptome and DGE profiling data have been obtained from the deep sequencing of the Chinese white pear, which can serve as an important public information platform for gene expression, genomic, and functional genomic studies in P. bretschneideri and which provides comprehensive gene expression information at the transcriptional level that could facilitate understanding of the molecular mechanisms in fruit development and maturation.

Project description:BackgroundPear (Pyrus spp) is an important fruit species worldwide; however, its genetics and genomic information is limited. Combining the Solexa/Illumina RNA-seq high-throughput sequencing approach (RNA-seq) with Digital Gene Expression (DGE) analysis would be a powerful tool for transcriptomic study. This paper reports the transcriptome profiling analysis of Chinese white pear (P. bretschneideri) using RNA-seq and DGE to better understand the molecular mechanisms in fruit development and maturation of Chinese white pear.ResultsDe novo transcriptome assembly and gene expression analysis of Chinese white pear were performed in an unprecedented depth (5.47 gigabase pairs) using high-throughput Illumina RNA-seq combined with a tag-based Digital Gene Expression (DGE) system. Approximately, 60.77 million reads were sequenced, trimmed, and assembled into 90,227 unigenes.

Sequence similarity analyses against six public databases (Uniprot, NR, and COGs at NCBI, Pfam, InterPro, and KEGG) found that 61,636 unigenes can be annotated with gene descriptions, conserved protein domains, or gene ontology terms. By BLASTing all 61,636 unigenes in KEGG, a total of 31,215 unigenes were annotated into 121 known metabolic or signaling pathways in which a few primary, intermediate, and secondary metabolic pathways are directly related to pear fruit quality. DGE libraries were constructed for each of the five fruit developmental stages. Variations in gene expression among all developmental stages of pear fruit were significantly different in a large amount of unigenes.ConclusionExtensive transcriptome and DGE profiling data at five fruit developmental stages of Chinese white pear have been obtained from a deep sequencing, which provides comprehensive gene expression information at the transcriptional level. This could facilitate understanding of the molecular mechanisms in fruit development and maturation. Such a database can also be used as a public information platform for research on molecular biology and functional genomics in pear and other related species.
