Bioinformatics and expression analysis of histone modification genes in grapevine predict their involvement in seed development, powdery mildew resistance, and hormonal signaling.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Histone modification genes (HMs) play potential roles in plant growth and development via influencing gene expression and chromatin structure. However, limited information is available about HMs genes in grapes (Vitis vinifera L.). RESULTS:Here, we described detailed genome-wide identification of HMs gene families in grapevine. We identified 117 HMs genes in grapevine and classified these genes into 11 subfamilies based on conserved domains and phylogenetic relationships with Arabidopsis. We described the genes in terms of their chromosomal locations and exon-intron distribution. Further, we investigated the evolutionary history, gene ontology (GO) analysis, and syntenic relationships between grapes and Arabidopsis. According to results 21% HMs genes are the result of duplication (tandem and segmental) events and all the duplicated genes have negative mode of selection. GO analysis predicted the presence of HMs proteins in cytoplasm, nucleus, and intracellular organelles. According to seed development expression profiling, many HMs grapevine genes were differentially expressed in seeded and seedless cultivars, suggesting their roles in seed development. Moreover, we checked the response of HMs genes against powdery mildew infection at different time points. Results have suggested the involvement of some genes in disease resistance regulation mechanism. Furthermore, the expression profiles of HMs genes were analyzed in response to different plant hormones (Abscisic acid, Jasmonic acid, Salicylic acid, and Ethylene) at different time points. All of the genes showed differential expression against one or more hormones. CONCLUSION:VvHMs genes might have potential roles in grapevine including seed development, disease resistance, and hormonal signaling pathways. Our study provides first detailed genome-wide identification and expression profiling of HMs genes in grapevine.

Project description:Infection by the pathogen grape powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) causes changes in the transcriptome of its susceptible host Vitis vinifera. Infection triggers the host to synthesize the signaling molecule salicylic acid (SA) which regulates the expression of a broad range of defense-related plant genes. In addition, it is hypothesized that E. necator directly modulates gene expression in V. vinifera via the haustorial complex. This microarray experiment was designed to dissect host transcriptome changes triggered directly by E. necator infection and indirectly through the SA response. We accomplished this by conducting two separate global leaf transcriptome analyses using the Vitis Affymetrix GeneChip platform: in one, we compared the leaves with fully established PM colonies to healthy reference leaves, in another, we compared healthy leaves with artificially elevated SA levels to healthy reference leaves. Overlaying host transcriptome changes from these two experiments enabled us to glean out V. vinifera genes that modulate their expression in response E. necator in an SA-independent manner. We characterized gene expression profiles in (1) healthy reference leaves, (2) leaves with well-established by E. necator colonies, and (3) healthy leaves in which SA levels were artificially elevated by the presence of methyl salicylate (15 µM) in the atmosphere. Treatments (1) and (2) differed only in the presence E. necator infection, whereas treatments (1) and (3) differed only in SA levels. Consequently, statistical comparisons were made only between signal intensities from treatments (1) and (2) and from treatments (1) and (3). Each treatment was done in three biological repeats, that is, each experiment was repeated three times in 14-day intervals with dedicated biological material (plants were used in a single replicate and not reused in another repeat or treatment). Each biological replicate consisted of 10 potted vines. For RNA extraction, two young leaves were harvested from each of the 10 vines and pooled into a single sample.
