Inheritance and molecular mapping of powdery mildew (Golovinomyces orontii) resistance gene(s) in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.).

ABSTRACT: Sources of resistance to powdery mildew incited by Golovinomyces orontii have been identified in wild sunflowers and few exotic lines. The present investigation has been undertaken to study the inheritance of powdery mildew resistance and to map the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) governing resistance to powdery mildew in a multiple disease resistance line, TX16R (PI 642072). The inheritance was observed as a continuous distribution in a set of 264 F₂ population and 93 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of a cross between a highly susceptible accession PS 2023 and TX16R. Screening of the two population sets was done with 484 sunflower-specific SSR primers of which 175 primers showed polymorphism between the parents. Based on the phenotyping and genotyping data, the linkage map was constructed with 93 RILs. The map spanned 1200 cM and included 64 markers distributed along the 17 sunflower chromosomes in the haploid set. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis identified three genomic regions for resistance to powdery mildew, two of which mapped on chromosome 10 and one on chromosome 5. This is the first report on mapping of powdery mildew resistance in sunflower and paves the way in fine mapping and introgression of resistance for powdery mildew in sunflower through marker-assisted breeding.

RNA-seq data of control and powdery mildew pathogen (Golovinomyces orontii) treated transcriptomes of Helianthus niveus.

Project description:Identification of genes expressed during the Golovinomyces orontii infection process in Helianthus niveus assumes importance for incorporation of resistance to powdery mildew in cultivated sunflower (H. annuus L.) from this donor species. RNA-seq analysis of control (uninfected) and infected samples of H. niveus resulted in identification of 231,754 transcripts. A total of 3726 transcripts were differentially expressed of which 205 were specifically expressed in control and 1961 in infected samples. Functional annotation of the differentially expressed transcripts showed significant upregulation of GRAS type transcription factor (TF) and plant specific GATA-type zinc finger TF in infected samples and the K-box, MADS box TF and WRKY family TF in control tissues. Gene ontology classification showed that genes involved in cell and cell part functioning, catalytic and metabolic processes were significantly and highly expressed. This is the first application of RNA-Seq for identification of key genes and pathways involved in powdery mildew infection process in a Helianthus species conferring resistance to the pathogen.

Genome-Wide Identification of NBS-Encoding Resistance Genes in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.).

Project description:Nucleotide Binding Site-Leucine-Rich Repeat (NBS-LRR) genes encode disease resistance proteins involved in plants' defense against their pathogens. Although sunflower is affected by many diseases, only a few molecular details have been uncovered regarding pathogenesis and resistance mechanisms. Recent availability of sunflower whole genome sequences in publicly accessible databases allowed us to accomplish a genome-wide identification of Toll-interleukin-1 receptor-like Nucleotide-binding site Leucine-rich repeat (TNL), Coiled Coil (CC)-NBS-LRR (CNL), Resistance to powdery mildew 8 (RPW8)-NBS-LRR (RNL) and NBS-LRR (NL) protein encoding genes. Hidden Markov Model (HMM) profiling of 52,243 putative protein sequences from sunflower resulted in 352 NBS-encoding genes, among which 100 genes belong to CNL group including 64 genes with RX_CC like domain, 77 to TNL, 13 to RNL, and 162 belong to NL group. We also identified signal peptides and nuclear localization signals present in the identified genes and their homologs. We found that NBS genes were located on all chromosomes and formed 75 gene clusters, one-third of which were located on chromosome 13. Phylogenetic analyses between sunflower and Arabidopsis NBS genes revealed a clade-specific nesting pattern in CNLs, with RNLs nested in the CNL-A clade, and species-specific nesting pattern for TNLs. Surprisingly, we found a moderate bootstrap support (BS = 50%) for CNL-A clade being nested within TNL clade making both the CNL and TNL clades paraphyletic. Arabidopsis and sunflower showed 87 syntenic blocks with 1049 high synteny hits between chromosome 5 of Arabidopsis and chromosome 6 of sunflower. Expression data revealed functional divergence of the NBS genes with basal level tissue-specific expression. This study represents the first genome-wide identification of NBS genes in sunflower paving avenues for functional characterization and potential crop improvement.

Molecular characterization and validation of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) hybrids through SSR markers.

Project description:Genetic purity is a prerequisite for exploiting the potential of hybrids in cross-pollinated crops, such as sunflower. In this regard DNA-based study was conducted using 110 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to check the genetic purity of 23 parents and their 60 hybrids in sunflower. The polymorphism was shown in 92 markers with value 83.63%. The SSR markers ORS-453 and CO-306 showed the highest PIC values of 0.76 and 0.74, respectively. The primer ORS-453 amplified allele size of 310 base pairs (bp) for female parent L6 and 320 bp for L11, while for male parents, T1 and T2 had allele size 350 bp and 340 bp, respectively. The hybrids from these parents showed a similar size of alleles with parents, including hybrids L6×T1 (310 bp and 350 bp), L6×T2 (310 bp and 340 bp), and L11×T2 (320 bp and 340 bp). Similarly, the primer CO-306 amplified allele size 350 bp and 330 bp for female parents L6 and L11, respectively, while, allele size 300 bp and 310 bp for male parents T1 and T2, respectively. The hybrids' allele size was like the parents viz., L6×T1 (350 bp and 300 bp), L6×T2 (350 bp and 310 bp), and L11×T2 (330 bp and 310 bp). All 60 hybrids and their 23 parents were grouped into three main clusters (A, B and C) based upon DARWIN v.6.0 and STRUCTURE v.2.3 Bayesian analyses using genotypic data. Further, each main cluster was divided into two sub-divisions. Each sub-division showed the relatedness of parents and their hybrids, thus authenticating the genetic purity of hybrids. In conclusion, this study provides useful for accurate and effective identification of hybrids, which will help to improve seed genetic purity testing globally.

Characterization of CYP71AX36 from Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L., Asteraceae).

Project description:Sesquiterpene lactones (STL) are a subclass of isoprenoids with many known bioactivities frequently found in the Asteraceae family. In recent years, remarkable progress has been made regarding the biochemistry of STL, and today the biosynthetic pathway of the core backbones of many STLs has been elucidated. Consequently, the focus has shifted to the discovery of the decorating enzymes that can modify the core skeleton with functional hydroxy groups. Using in vivo pathway reconstruction assays in heterologous organisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Nicotiana benthamiana, we have analyzed several cytochrome P450 enzyme genes of the CYP71AX subfamily from Helianthus annuus clustered in close proximity to one another on the sunflower genome. We show that one member of this subfamily, CYP71AX36, can catalyze the conversion of costunolide to 14-hydroxycostunolide. The catalytic activity of CYP71AX36 may be of use for the chemoenzymatic production of antileukemic 14-hydroxycostunolide derivatives and other STLs of pharmaceutical interest. We also describe the full 2D-NMR assignment of 14-hydroxycostunolide and provide all 13C chemical shifts of the carbon skeleton for the first time.

Genetic Insight into Disease Resistance Gene Clusters by Using Sequencing-Based Fine Mapping in Sunflower (<i>Helianthus annuus</i> L.).

Project description:Rust and downy mildew (DM) are two important sunflower diseases that lead to significant yield losses globally. The use of resistant hybrids to control rust and DM in sunflower has a long history. The rust resistance genes, R13a and R16, were previously mapped to a 3.4 Mb region at the lower end of sunflower chromosome 13, while the DM resistance gene, Pl33, was previously mapped to a 4.2 Mb region located at the upper end of chromosome 4. High-resolution fine mapping was conducted using whole genome sequencing of HA-R6 (R13a) and TX16R (R16 and Pl33) and large segregated populations. R13a and R16 were fine mapped to a 0.48 cM region in chromosome 13 corresponding to a 790 kb physical interval on the XRQr1.0 genome assembly. Four disease defense-related genes with nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) motifs were found in this region from XRQr1.0 gene annotation as candidate genes for R13a and R16. Pl33 was fine mapped to a 0.04 cM region in chromosome 4 corresponding to a 63 kb physical interval. One NLR gene, HanXRQChr04g0095641, was predicted as the candidate gene for Pl33. The diagnostic SNP markers developed for each gene in the current study will facilitate marker-assisted selections of resistance genes in sunflower breeding programs.

Molecular evolution of candidate genes for crop-related traits in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.).

Project description:Evolutionary analyses aimed at detecting the molecular signature of selection during crop domestication and/or improvement can be used to identify genes or genomic regions of likely agronomic importance. Here, we describe the DNA sequence-based characterization of a pool of candidate genes for crop-related traits in sunflower. These genes, which were identified based on homology to genes of known effect in other study systems, were initially sequenced from a panel of improved lines. All genes that exhibited a paucity of sequence diversity, consistent with the possible effects of selection during the evolution of cultivated sunflower, were then sequenced from a panel of wild sunflower accessions an outgroup. These data enabled formal tests for the effects of selection in shaping sequence diversity at these loci. When selection was detected, we further sequenced these genes from a panel of primitive landraces, thereby allowing us to investigate the likely timing of selection (i.e., domestication vs. improvement). We ultimately identified seven genes that exhibited the signature of positive selection during either domestication or improvement. Genetic mapping of a subset of these genes revealed co-localization between candidates for genes involved in the determination of flowering time, seed germination, plant growth/development, and branching and QTL that were previously identified for these traits in cultivated × wild sunflower mapping populations.

Genetic mapping of a pollinator preference trait: Nectar volume in sunflower (<i>Helianthus annuus</i> L.).

Project description:Although high pollinator visitation is crucial to ensure the yields of pollinator-dependent crops, the quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling nectar volume in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), a pollinator preference trait, have yet to be identified. To address this, a recombinant inbred line mapping population, derived from lines with contrasting nectar volume, was used to identify loci responsible for the phenotype. As a result, linkage mapping and QTL analysis discovered major loci on chromosomes 2 and 16 that are associated with variation in nectar volume in sunflower. Increased nectar volume is also associated with increased sugars and total energy available per floret. The regions on chromosomes 2 and 16 associated with the nectar phenotype exhibit indications of chromosome structural variation, such that the phenotype is associated with rearrangements affecting regions containing hundreds of genes. Candidate genes underlying QTL on chromosomes 9 and 16 are homologous to genes with nectary function in Arabidopsis. These results have implications for sunflower breeding, to enhance pollination efficiency in sunflower, as well as current and future studies on sunflower evolution.

Copia and Gypsy retrotransposons activity in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.).

Project description:BackgroundRetrotransposons are heterogeneous sequences, widespread in eukaryotic genomes, which refer to the so-called mobile DNA. They resemble retroviruses, both in their structure and for their ability to transpose within the host genome, of which they make up a considerable portion. Copia- and Gypsy-like retrotransposons are the two main classes of retroelements shown to be ubiquitous in plant genomes. Ideally, the retrotransposons life cycle results in the synthesis of a messenger RNA and then self-encoded proteins to process retrotransposon mRNA in double stranded extra-chromosomal cDNA copies which may integrate in new chromosomal locations.ResultsThe RT-PCR and IRAP protocol were applied to detect the presence of Copia and Gypsy retrotransposon transcripts and of new events of integration in unstressed plants of a sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) selfed line. Results show that in sunflower retrotransposons transcription occurs in all analyzed organs (embryos, leaves, roots, and flowers). In one out of sixty-four individuals analyzed, retrotransposons transcription resulted in the integration of a new element into the genome.ConclusionThese results indicate that the retrotransposon life cycle is firmly controlled at a post transcriptional level. A possible silencing mechanism is discussed.
