Exploring Heat-Response Mechanisms of MicroRNAs Based on Microarray Data of Rice Post-meiosis Panicle.

ABSTRACT: To explore heat response mechanisms of mircoRNAs (miRNAs) in rice post-meiosis panicle, microarray analysis was performed on RNA isolated from rice post-meiosis panicles which were treated at 40°C for 0?min, 10?min, 20?min, 60?min, and 2?h. By integrating paired differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs and mRNA expression profiles, we found that the expression levels of 29 DE-miRNA families were negatively correlated to their 178 DE-target genes. Further analysis showed that the majority of miRNAs in 29 DE-miRNA families resisted the heat stress by downregulating their target genes and a time lag existed between expression of miRNAs and their target genes. Then, GO-Slim classification and functional identification of these 178 target genes showed that (1) miRNAs were mainly involved in a series of basic biological processes even under heat conditions; (2) some miRNAs might play important roles in the heat resistance (such as osa-miR164, osa-miR166, osa-miR169, osa-miR319, osa-miR390, osa-miR395, and osa-miR399); (3) osa-miR172 might play important roles in protecting the rice panicle under the heat stress, but osa-miR437, osa-miR418, osa-miR164, miR156, and miR529 might negatively affect rice fertility and panicle flower; and (4) osa-miR414 might inhibit the flowering gene expression by downregulation of LOC_Os 05g51830 to delay the heading of rice. Finally, a heat-induced miRNA-PPI (protein-protein interaction) network was constructed, and three miRNA coregulatory modules were discovered.

Project description:BackgroundThe number of panicles per plant, number of grains per panicle, and 1000-grain weight are important factors contributing to the grain yield per plant in rice. The Rice Diversity Panel 1 (RDP1) contains a total of 421 purified, homozygous rice accessions representing diverse genetic variations within O. sativa. The release of High-Density Rice Array (HDRA, 700 k SNPs) dataset provides a new opportunity to discover the genetic variants of panicle architectures in rice.ResultsIn this report, a new method genome-phenome wide association study (GPWAS) was performed with 391 individuals and 27 traits derived from RDP1 to scan the relationship between the genes and multi-traits. A total of 1985 gene models were linked to phenomic variation with a p-value cutoff of 4.49E-18. Besides, 406 accessions derived from RDP1 with 411,066 SNPs were used to identify QTLs associated with the total spikelets number per panicle (TSNP), grain number per panicle (GNP), empty grain number per panicle (EGNP), primary branch number (PBN), panicle length (PL), and panicle number per plant (PN) by GLM, MLM, FarmCPU, and BLINK models for genome-wide association study (GWAS) analyses. A total of 18, 21, 18, 17, 15, and 17 QTLs were identified tightly linked with TSNP, GNP, EGNP, PBN, PL, and PN, respectively. Then, a total of 23 candidate genes were mapped simultaneously using both GWAS and GPWAS methods, composed of 6, 4, 5, 4, and 4 for TSNP, GNP, EGNP, PBN, and PL. Notably, one overlapped gene (Os01g0140100) were further investigated based on the haplotype and gene expression profile, indicating this gene might regulate the TSNP or panicle architecture in rice.ConclusionsNearly 30 % (30/106) QTLs co-located with the previous published genes or QTLs, indicating the power of GWAS. Besides, GPWAS is a new method to discover the relationship between genes and traits, especially the pleiotropy genes. Through comparing the results from GWAS and GPWAS, we identified 23 candidate genes related to panicle architectures in rice. This comprehensive study provides new insights into the genetic basis controlling panicle architectures in rice, which lays a foundation in rice improvement.

Project description:In the current global warming scenario, it is imperative to develop crops with improved heat tolerance or acclimation, for which knowledge of major heat stress-tolerant genes or genomic regions is a prerequisite. Though several quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for heat tolerance have been mapped in rice, candidate genes from these QTLs have not been reported yet. The meta-analysis of microarray datasets for heat stress in rice can give us a better genomic resource for the dissection of QTLs and the identification of major candidate genes for heat stress tolerance. In the present study, a database, RiceMetaSys-H, comprising 4227 heat stress-responsive genes (HRGs), was created using seven publicly available microarray datasets. This included in-house-generated microarray datasets of Nagina 22 (N22) and IR64 subjected to 8 days of heat stress. The database has provisions for searching the HRGs through genotypes, growth stages, tissues, and physical intervals in the genome, as well as Locus IDs, which provide complete information on the HRGs with their annotations and fold changes, along with the experimental material used for the analysis. The up-regulation of genes involved in hormone biosynthesis and signalling, sugar metabolism, carbon fixation, and the ROS pathway were found to be the key mechanisms of enhanced heat tolerance. Integrating variant and expression analysis, the database was used for the dissection of the major effect of QTLs on chromosomes 4, 5, and 9 from the IR64/N22 mapping population. Out of the 18, 54, and 62 genes in these three QTLs, 5, 15, and 12 genes harboured non-synonymous substitutions. Fifty-seven interacting genes of the selected QTLs were identified by a network analysis of the HRGs in the QTL regions. Variant analysis revealed that the proportion of unique amino acid substitutions (between N22/IR64) in the QTL-specific genes was much higher than the common substitutions, i.e., 2.58:0.88 (2.93-fold), compared to the network genes at a 0.88:0.67 (1.313-fold) ratio. An expression analysis of these 89 genes showed 43 DEGs between IR64/N22. By integrating the expression profiles, allelic variations, and the database, four robust candidates (LOC_Os05g43870, LOC_Os09g27830, LOC_Os09g27650, andLOC_Os09g28000) for enhanced heat stress tolerance were identified. The database thus developed in rice can be used in breeding to combat high-temperature stress.
