Genome sequence of Gossypium herbaceum and genome updates of Gossypium arboreum and Gossypium hirsutum provide insights into cotton A-genome evolution.

ABSTRACT: Upon assembling the first Gossypium herbaceum (A₁) genome and substantially improving the existing Gossypium arboreum (A₂) and Gossypium hirsutum ((AD)₁) genomes, we showed that all existing A-genomes may have originated from a common ancestor, referred to here as A₀, which was more phylogenetically related to A₁ than A₂. Further, allotetraploid formation was shown to have preceded the speciation of A₁ and A₂. Both A-genomes evolved independently, with no ancestor-progeny relationship. Gaussian probability density function analysis indicates that several long-terminal-repeat bursts that occurred from 5.7 million years ago to less than 0.61 million years ago contributed compellingly to A-genome size expansion, speciation and evolution. Abundant species-specific structural variations in genic regions changed the expression of many important genes, which may have led to fiber cell improvement in (AD)₁. Our findings resolve existing controversial concepts surrounding A-genome origins and provide valuable genomic resources for cotton genetic improvement.

Genome-Wide Introgression and Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping Reveals the Potential of Asian Cotton (Gossypium arboreum) in Improving Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum).

Project description:Gossypium arboreum (2n=2x=26, A2), the putative progenitor of the At-subgenome of Gossypium hirsutum (2n=4x=52, AD), is a repository of genes of interesting that have been eliminated during evolution/domestication of G. hirsutum. However, its valuable genes remain untapped so far due to species isolation. Here, using a synthetic amphiploid (AADDA2A2) previously reported, we developed a set of 289 G. arboreum chromosome segment introgression lines (ILs) in G. hirsutum by expanding the backcrossing population and through precise marker-assisted selection (MAS) although complex chromosomal structural variations existed between parents which severely hindered introgression. Our results showed the total coverage length of introgressed segments was 1,116.29 Mb, representing 78.48% of the At-subgenome in the G. hirsutum background, with an average segment-length of 8.69 Mb. A total of 81 co- quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for yield and fiber quality were identified by both the RSTEP-ADD-based QTL mapping and the genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis, with 1.01-24.78% of the phenotypic variance explained. Most QTLs for boll traits showed negative additive effects, but G. arboreum still has the potential to improve boll-number traits in G. hirsutum. Most QTLs for fiber quality showed negative additive effects, implying these QTLs were domesticated in G. hirsutum compared with G. arboreum and, a small quantity of fiber quality QTLs showing positive additive effects, conversely; however, indicates that G. arboreum has the underlying genes of enhancing fiber quality of G. hirsutum. This study provides new insights into the breeding genetic potential of G. arboreum, lays the foundation for further mining favorable genes of interest, and provides guidance for inter-ploidy gene transference from relatives into cultivated crops.

Genetic modification of Gossypium arboreum universal stress protein (GUSP1) improves drought tolerance in transgenic cotton (Gossypium hirsutum).

Project description:Cotton crop suffers shortage of irrigation water at reproductive stage which reduces the yield and fibre quality. Universal stress proteins belong to Pfam00582 which enables several plants to cope with multiple stresses via ATP binding. GUSP1 (Gossypium arboreum USP) is one of such proteins; its amino acids were mutated after in silico simulations including homology modeling and molecular docking analysis. Transgenic cotton plants were developed through Agrobacterium mediated genetic transformation by using mutated pmGP1 and non mutated pGP1 constructs under CaMV35S promoter. PCR and semi-quantitative PCR analyses confirmed the amplification and expression of transgene in transgenic plants. It was revealed that leaf relative water content, total chlorophyll content, CO2 assimilation as net photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, total soluble sugars and proline content was significantly increased at P ≤ 0.0001 and P ≤ 0.001 in both the pmGP1 and pGP1 transgenic plants as compared to non transgenic control plants. Moreover, relative membrane permeability and the transpiration rate were reduced significantly at P ≤ 0.0001 and P ≤ 0.001 respectively in transgenic plants under drought stress. Furthermore, the T1 transgenic seedlings containing pmGP1 mutated construct showed longer roots under desiccation stress imposed by 5% PEG. Transgene inheritance into the T1 progeny plants was confirmed by amplification through PCR and integration through Southern blot. Hence, our results pave the way to utilize the mutagenized known genes for increasing endurance of plants under drought stress. This will help to increase our understanding of drought tolerance/ sensitivity in cotton plants at the molecular level.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12298-021-01048-5.

Genome-wide transcriptomic comparison of cotton (Gossypium herbaceum) leaf and root under drought stress.

Project description:In this study, the 454 pyrosequencing platform was used for analyzing the comparative transcriptomic profiles of leaf and root tissues of 1-month-old cotton (Gossypium herbaceum) plants under drought stress. A total of 56,354 and 49,308 reads were generated from leaf and root tissues, respectively, and clustered into 6,313 and 5,858 unigenes. The differentially expressed unigenes that showed up-regulation (≥2-fold) or down-regulation (2≤-fold) were considered for further analysis. A total of 3,517 unigenes were differentially expressed in both tissues. The 1,528 genes specific to leaves and 1,128 specific to roots were obtained. The 28 biological pathways in two tissues were found to respond significantly to drought stress. A total of 289 in leaf and 277 in root unknown (novel) unigenes were found to be remarkably regulated by drought stress. Some key regulatory genes involved in abiotic stress such as WRKY, ERF, AP2 EREBP, MYB, and LEA were highly expressed in leaves. The genes RHD3, LBD, and transcription factor WRKY75, known for root development under various stress conditions, were expressed specifically in root. The genes related to chlorophyll a/b binding protein and photosystem-related proteins showed significant higher expression in roots and as compared to leaves. It can be concluded that cotton leaves are distinct from roots in terms of molecular mechanisms for responses to drought stress.

Ionomic and transcriptomic analyses of two cotton cultivars (Gossypium hirsutum L.) provide insights into the ion balance mechanism of cotton under salt stress.

Project description:Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress factor that limits cotton production worldwide. To improve salt tolerance in cotton, an in-depth understanding of ionic balance is needed. In this study, a pot experiment using three levels of soil salinity (0%, 0.2%, and 0.4%, represented as CK, SL, and SH, respectively) and two cotton genotypes (salt-tolerant genotype: L24; salt-sensitive genotype: X45) was employed to investigate how sodium chloride (NaCl) stress effects cotton growth, ion distribution, and transport, as well as to explore the related mechanism. The results showed that SL treatment mainly inhibited shoot growth, while SH treatment caused more extensive impairment to roots and shoots. The growth inhibition ratio of NaCl stress on X45 was more marked than that of L24. Under NaCl stress, the Na concentration in the roots, stems and leaves significantly increased, whereas the K, Cu, B, and Mo concentration in roots, as well as Mg and S concentrations in the leaves, significantly decreased. Under salt stress conditions, salt-tolerant cotton plants can store Na in the leaves, and as a result, a larger amount of minerals (e.g., Cu, Mo, Si, P, and B) tend to transport to the leaves. By contrast, salt-sensitive varieties tend to accumulate certain minerals (e.g., Ca, P, Mg, S, Mn, Fe, Cu, B, Mo, and Si) in the roots. Most genes related to ion transport and homeostasis were upregulated in L24, but not in X45. The expression level of GhSOS1 in X45 was higher than L24, but GhNHX1 in L24 was higher than X45. Our findings suggest that the two varieties response to salt stress differently; for X45 (salt-sensitive), the response is predominantly governed by Na+ efflux, whereas for L24 (salt-tolerant), vacuolar sequestration of Na+ is the major mechanism. The expression changes of the genes encoding the ion transporters may partially explain the genotypic difference in leaf ion accumulation under salt stress conditions.

High efficient multisites genome editing in allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) using CRISPR/Cas9 system.

Project description:Gossypium hirsutum is an allotetraploid with a complex genome. Most genes have multiple copies that belong to At and Dt subgenomes. Sequence similarity is also very high between gene homologues. To efficiently achieve site/gene-specific mutation is quite needed. Due to its high efficiency and robustness, the CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas9 system has exerted broad site-specific genome editing from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. In this study, we utilized a CRISPR/Cas9 system to generate two sgRNAs in a single vector to conduct multiple sites genome editing in allotetraploid cotton. An exogenously transformed gene Discosoma red fluorescent protein2(DsRed2) and an endogenous gene GhCLA1 were chosen as targets. The DsRed2-edited plants in T0 generation reverted its traits to wild type, with vanished red fluorescence the whole plants. Besides, the mutated phenotype and genotype were inherited to their T1 progenies. For the endogenous gene GhCLA1, 75% of regenerated plants exhibited albino phenotype with obvious nucleotides and DNA fragments deletion. The efficiency of gene editing at each target site is 66.7-100%. The mutation genotype was checked for both genes with Sanger sequencing. Barcode-based high-throughput sequencing, which could be highly efficient for genotyping to a population of mutants, was conducted in GhCLA1-edited T0 plants and it matched well with Sanger sequencing results. No off-target editing was detected at the potential off-target sites. These results prove that the CRISPR/Cas9 system is highly efficient and reliable for allotetraploid cotton genome editing.

Genome assembly of two nematode-resistant cotton lines (Gossypium hirsutum L.).

Project description:Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is susceptible to damage by the root-knot and the reniform nematodes, causing yield losses greater than 4% annually in the United States. In addition, these nematodes are synergistic with seeding disease and root rot pathogens that exacerbate diseases and subsequent yield losses. Production practices to minimize nematode damage include crop rotation and nematicides, but these techniques need to be repeated and are expensive. The use of resistant cultivars is deemed the most effective and economical approach for managing nematodes in cotton. Here, we describe the genomes of two nematode-resistant lines of cotton, BARBREN-713 and BAR 32-30. These genomes may expedite the development of DNA markers that can be used to efficiently introduce nematode resistance into commercially valuable Upland lines.

Genome-wide functional analysis of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) in response to drought.

Project description:Cotton is one of the most important crops for its natural textile fibers in the world. However, it often suffered from drought stress during its growth and development, resulting in a drastic reduction in cotton productivity. Therefore, study on molecular mechanism of cotton drought-tolerance is very important for increasing cotton production. To investigate molecular mechanism of cotton drought-resistance, we employed RNA-Seq technology to identify differentially expressed genes in the leaves of two different cultivars (drought-resistant cultivar J-13 and drought-sensitive cultivar Lu-6) of cotton. The results indicated that there are about 13.38% to 18.75% of all the unigenes differentially expressed in drought-resistant sample and drought-sensitive control, and the number of differentially expressed genes was increased along with prolonged drought treatment. DEG (differentially expression gene) analysis showed that the normal biophysical profiles of cotton (cultivar J-13) were affected by drought stress, and some cellular metabolic processes (including photosynthesis) were inhibited in cotton under drought conditions. Furthermore, the experimental data revealed that there were significant differences in expression levels of the genes related to abscisic acid signaling, ethylene signaling and jasmonic acid signaling pathways between drought-resistant cultivar J-13 and drought-sensitive cultivar Lu-6, implying that these signaling pathways may participate in cotton response and tolerance to drought stress.
