Project description:BackgroundThe mitochondrial genome from upland cotton, G. hirsutum, was previously sequenced. To elucidate the evolution of mitochondrial genomic diversity within a single genus, we sequenced the mitochondrial genome from Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.).MethodsMitochondrial DNA from week-old etiolated seedlings was extracted from isolated organelles using discontinuous sucrose density gradient method. Mitochondrial genome was sequenced with Solexa using paired-end, 90 bp read. The clean reads were assembled into contigs using ABySS and finished via additional fosmid and BAC sequencing. Finally, the genome was annotated and analyzed using different softwares.ResultsThe G. barbadense (Sea Island cotton) mitochondrial genome was fully sequenced (677,434-bp) and compared to the mitogenome of upland cotton. The G. barbadense mitochondrial DNA contains seven more genes than that of upland cotton, with a total of 40 protein coding genes (excluding possible pseudogenes), 6 rRNA genes, and 29 tRNA genes. Of these 75 genes, atp1, mttB, nad4, nad9, rrn5, rrn18, and trnD(GTC)-cp were each represented by two identical copies. A single 64 kb repeat was largely responsible for the 9 % difference in genome size between the two mtDNAs. Comparison of genome structures between the two mitochondrial genomes revealed 8 rearranged syntenic regions and several large repeats. The largest repeat was missing from the master chromosome in G. hirsutum. Both mitochondrial genomes contain a duplicated copy of rps3 (rps3-2) in conjunction with a duplication of repeated sequences. Phylogenetic and divergence considerations suggest that a 544-bp fragment of rps3 was transferred to the nuclear genome shortly after divergence of the A- and D- genome diploid cottons.ConclusionThese results highlight the insights to the evolution of structural variation between Sea Island and upland cotton mitochondrial genomes.

Project description:BackgroundCodon bias is a phenomenon of non-uniform usage of codons whereas codon context generally refers to sequential pair of codons in a gene. Although genome sequencing of multiple species of dipteran and hymenopteran insects have been completed only a few of these species have been analyzed for codon usage bias.Methods and principal findingsHere, we use bioinformatics approaches to analyze codon usage bias and codon context patterns in a genome-wide manner among 15 dipteran and 7 hymenopteran insect species. Results show that GAA is the most frequent codon in the dipteran species whereas GAG is the most frequent codon in the hymenopteran species. Data reveals that codons ending with C or G are frequently used in the dipteran genomes whereas codons ending with A or T are frequently used in the hymenopteran genomes. Synonymous codon usage orders (SCUO) vary within genomes in a pattern that seems to be distinct for each species. Based on comparison of 30 one-to-one orthologous genes among 17 species, the fruit fly Drosophila willistoni shows the least codon usage bias whereas the honey bee (Apis mellifera) shows the highest bias. Analysis of codon context patterns of these insects shows that specific codons are frequently used as the 3'- and 5'-context of start and stop codons, respectively.ConclusionsCodon bias pattern is distinct between dipteran and hymenopteran insects. While codon bias is favored by high GC content of dipteran genomes, high AT content of genes favors biased usage of synonymous codons in the hymenopteran insects. Also, codon context patterns vary among these species largely according to their phylogeny.

Project description:We compared different days post-anthesis (5DPA, 10DPA, 15DPA and 25DPA) differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in fiber development between G. hirsutum and G. barbadense. In addition, we analysis the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) function using the database for annotation, visualization and integrated discovery (DAVID). Overall, gene expression pattern have significantly difference between G. hirsutum and G. barbadense. In this study, G. barbadense DEGS in different two DPA are significantly more than G. hirsutum. In addation, there are 18937 DEGs were identified in fruit development and postembryonic development pathways and only upregulated in G. barbadense only. Taken together, these findings suggest that there are considerable differences of gene expression between G. hirsutum and G. barbadense in cotton fiber development different stages.

Project description:BackgroundHow to develop new cotton varieties possessing high yield traits of Upland cotton and superior fiber quality traits of Sea Island cotton remains a key task for cotton breeders and researchers. While multiple attempts bring in little significant progresses, the development of Chromosome Segment Substitution Lines (CSSLs) from Gossypium barbadense in G. hirsutum background provided ideal materials for aforementioned breeding purposes in upland cotton improvement. Based on the excellent fiber performance and relatively clear chromosome substitution segments information identified by Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers, two CSSLs, MBI9915 and MBI9749, together with the recurrent parent CCRI36 were chosen to conduct transcriptome sequencing during the development stages of fiber elongation and Secondary Cell Wall (SCW) synthesis (from 10DPA and 28DPA), aiming at revealing the mechanism of fiber development and the potential contribution of chromosome substitution segments from Sea Island cotton to fiber development of Upland cotton.ResultsIn total, 15 RNA-seq libraries were constructed and sequenced separately, generating 705.433 million clean reads with mean GC content of 45.13% and average Q30 of 90.26%. Through multiple comparisons between libraries, 1801 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, of which the 902 up-regulated DEGs were mainly involved in cell wall organization and response to oxidative stress and auxin, while the 898 down-regulated ones participated in translation, regulation of transcription, DNA-templated and cytoplasmic translation based on GO annotation and KEGG enrichment analysis. Subsequently, STEM software was performed to explicate the temporal expression pattern of DEGs. Two peroxidases and four flavonoid pathway-related genes were identified in the "oxidation-reduction process", which could play a role in fiber development and quality formation. Finally, the reliability of RNA-seq data was validated by quantitative real-time PCR of randomly selected 20 genes.ConclusionsThe present report focuses on the similarities and differences of transcriptome profiles between the two CSSLs and the recurrent parent CCRI36 and provides novel insights into the molecular mechanism of fiber development, and into further exploration of the feasible contribution of G. barbadense substitution segments to fiber quality formation, which will lay solid foundation for simultaneously improving fiber yield and quality of upland cotton through CSSLs.

Project description:BackgroundMitochondria are the main manufacturers of cellular ATP in eukaryotes. The plant mitochondrial genome contains large number of foreign DNA and repeated sequences undergone frequently intramolecular recombination. Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is one of the main natural fiber crops and also an important oil-producing plant in the world. Sequencing of the cotton mitochondrial (mt) genome could be helpful for the evolution research of plant mt genomes.Methodology/principal findingsWe utilized 454 technology for sequencing and combined with Fosmid library of the Gossypium hirsutum mt genome screening and positive clones sequencing and conducted a series of evolutionary analysis on Cycas taitungensis and 24 angiosperms mt genomes. After data assembling and contigs joining, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of G. hirsutum was obtained. The completed G.hirsutum mt genome is 621,884 bp in length, and contained 68 genes, including 35 protein genes, four rRNA genes and 29 tRNA genes. Five gene clusters are found conserved in all plant mt genomes; one and four clusters are specifically conserved in monocots and dicots, respectively. Homologous sequences are distributed along the plant mt genomes and species closely related share the most homologous sequences. For species that have both mt and chloroplast genome sequences available, we checked the location of cp-like migration and found several fragments closely linked with mitochondrial genes.ConclusionThe G. hirsutum mt genome possesses most of the common characters of higher plant mt genomes. The existence of syntenic gene clusters, as well as the conservation of some intergenic sequences and genic content among the plant mt genomes suggest that evolution of mt genomes is consistent with plant taxonomy but independent among different species.

Project description:MBI9915 is an introgression cotton line with excellent fiber quality. It was obtained by advanced backcrossing and continuous inbreeding from an interspecific cross between the upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cultivar CCRI36 as the recurrent parent and the sea island cotton (G. barbadense) cultivar Hai1, as the donor parent. To study the genetic effects of the introgressed chromosome segments in G. hirsutum, an F2 secondary segregating population of 1537 individuals was created by crossing MBI9915 and CCRI36, and an F2:3 population was created by randomly selecting 347 individuals from the F2 generation. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping and interaction for fiber length and strength were identified using IciMapping software. The genotype analysis showed that the recovery rate for MBI9915 was 97.9%, with a total 6 heterozygous segments and 13 homozygous segments. A total of 18 QTLs for fiber quality and 6 QTLs for yield related traits were detected using the two segregating generations. These QTLs were distributed across 7 chromosomes and collectively explained 0.81%-9.51% of the observed phenotypic variations. Six QTLs were consistently detected in two generations and 6 QTLs were identified in previous studies. A total of 13 pairs of interaction for fiber length and 13 pairs of interaction for fiber strength were identified in two generations. Among them, 3 pairs of interaction for fiber length and 3 pairs of interaction for fiber strength could be identified in all generations; 4 pairs of interactions affected fiber length and fiber strength simultaneously. The results clearly showed that 5 chromosome segments (Seg-5-1, Seg-7-1, Seg-8-1, Seg-20-2 and Seg-20-3) have important effects on fiber yield and quality. This study provides the useful information for gene cloning and marker-assisted breeding for excellent fiber related quality.

Project description:Seed germination, a key initial event in the plant life cycle, directly affects the yield and quality of cotton. Gossypium barbadense and Gossypium hirsutum are gradually evolved through polyploidization resulting in different characteristics, and the existence of this interspecific variation lacks genetic and molecular explanation. In this study, we compared the proteomes between G. barbadense and G. hirsutum during seed germination. In all we identified 2741 proteins for G. barbadense and 3759 proteins for G. hirsutum. Through functional enrichment, we found that seeds germinate by first repairing damaged DNA and proteins, as well as mobilizing stored substances such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids for energy production to initiate life activities, followed by progressive development through cell division and other processes. We also performed homology analysis and found 21711 orthogroups including 2761 species-specific orthogroups for G. hirsutum and 527 ones for G. barbadense. Further differential analysis in 915 single-copy orthogroups between the two cottons was conducted, indicating that most of the differentially expressed proteins in G. barbadense were related to carbon metabolism, while most of the differentially expressed proteins in G. hirsutum were associated with stress response.

Project description:The codon usage bias (CUB) of genes encoded by different species' genomes varies greatly. The analysis of codon usage patterns enriches our comprehension of genetic and evolutionary characteristics across diverse species. In this study, we performed a genome-wide analysis of CUB and its influencing factors in six sequenced Eimeria species that cause coccidiosis in poultry: Eimeria acervulina, Eimeria necatrix, Eimeria brunetti, Eimeria tenella, Eimeria praecox, and Eimeria maxima. The GC content of protein-coding genes varies between 52.67% and 58.24% among the six Eimeria species. The distribution trend of GC content at different codon positions follows GC1 > GC3 > GC2. Most high-frequency codons tend to end with C/G, except in E. maxima. Additionally, there is a positive correlation between GC3 content and GC3s/C3s, but a significantly negative correlation with A3s. Analysis of the ENC-Plot, neutrality plot, and PR2-bias plot suggests that selection pressure has a stronger influence than mutational pressure on CUB in the six Eimeria genomes. Finally, we identified from 11 to 15 optimal codons, with GCA, CAG, and AGC being the most commonly used optimal codons across these species. This study offers a thorough exploration of the relationships between CUB and selection pressures within the protein-coding genes of Eimeria species. Genetic evolution in these species appears to be influenced by mutations and selection pressures. Additionally, the findings shed light on unique characteristics and evolutionary traits specific to the six Eimeria species.

Project description:Upland cotton (Gossypium hirstum L.), which produces more than 95% of the world natural cotton fibers, has a narrow genetic base which hinders progress in cotton breeding. Introducing germplasm from exotic sources especially from another cultivated tetraploid G. barbadense L. can broaden the genetic base of Upland cotton. However, the breeding potential of introgression lines (ILs) in Upland cotton with G. barbadense germplasm integration has not been well addressed. This study involved six ILs developed from an interspecific crossing and backcrossing between Upland cotton and G. barbadense and represented one of the first studies to investigate breeding potentials of a set of ILs using a full diallel analysis. High mid-parent heterosis was detected in several hybrids between ILs and a commercial cultivar, which also out-yielded the high-yielding cultivar parent in F1, F2 and F3 generations. A further analysis indicated that general ability (GCA) variance was predominant for all the traits, while specific combining ability (SCA) variance was either non-existent or much lower than GCA. The estimated GCA effects and predicted additive effects for parents in each trait were positively correlated (at P<0.01). Furthermore, GCA and additive effects for each trait were also positively correlated among generations (at P<0.05), suggesting that F2 and F3 generations can be used as a proxy to F1 in analyzing combining abilities and estimating genetic parameters. In addition, differences between reciprocal crosses in F1 and F2 were not significant for yield, yield components and fiber quality traits. But maternal effects appeared to be present for seed oil and protein contents in F3. This study identified introgression lines as good general combiners for yield and fiber quality improvement and hybrids with high heterotic vigor in yield, and therefore provided useful information for further utilization of introgression lines in cotton breeding.
