Project description:BackgroundHordeum brevisubulatum, known as fine perennial forage, is used for soil salinity improvement in northern China. Chloroplast (cp) genome is an ideal model for assessing its genome evolution and the phylogenetic relationships. We de novo sequenced and analyzed the cp genome of H. brevisubulatum, providing a fundamental reference for further studies in genetics and molecular breeding.ResultsThe cp genome of H. brevisubulatum was 137,155 bp in length with a typical quadripartite structure. A total of 130 functional genes were annotated and the gene of accD was lost in the process of evolution. Among all the annotated genes, 16 different genes harbored introns and the genes of ycf3 and rps12 contained two introns. Parity rule 2 (PR2) plot analysis showed that majority of genes had a bias toward T over A in the coding strand in all five Hordeum species, and a slight G over C in the other four Hordeum species except for H. bogdanil. Additionally, 52 dispersed repeat sequences and 182 simple sequence repeats were identified. Moreover, some unique SSRs of each species could be used as molecular markers for further study. Compared to the other four Hordeum species, H. brevisubulatum was most closely related to H. bogdanii and its cp genome was relatively conserved. Moreover, inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb) were less divergent than other parts and coding regions were relatively conserved compared to non-coding regions. Main divergence was presented at the SSC/IR border.ConclusionsThis research comprehensively describes the architecture of the H. brevisubulatum cp genome and improves our understanding of its cp biology and genetic diversity, which will facilitate biological discoveries and cp genome engineering.

Project description:Hordeum distichon (H. distichon) is a two-row cultivated barley used as food and as a feed crop. Chloroplast genome is an excellent way to study the genetic structure and evolutionary process of natural population of plant species in recent years. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of H. distichon was sequenced and analyzed: the size of the chloroplast genome is 136,462 bp in length, including a large single copy region (LSC) of 80,597 bp, a small single copy region (SSC) of 12,701 bp, and a pair of inverted repeated regions (IR) of 21,582 bp; the H. distichon chloroplast genome encodes 129 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes; the overall GC-content of the chloroplast genome was 38.32%, with the LSC, SSC, and IR regions being 36.31%, 32.33%, and 43.83%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on 32 species with the maximum likelihood (ML) method indicated that H. distichon was closely related to Hordeum vulgare.

Project description:The complete circular chloroplast (cp) genome of wild Hordeum roshevitzii Bowden was sequenced and reported in this study. The complete chloroplast genome of wild H. roshevitzii was 12,753 bp in length, including a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRA/IRB) of 21,587 bp separated by one small single-copy (SSC) region of 12,753 bp and one large single-copy (LSC) region of 81,138 bp. A total of 133 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 40 transfer RNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes were predicted from the cp genomes. The overall GC content of the cp genome was 38.25% and the corresponding values of the IR, SSC, and LSC were 43.89%, 32.19%, and 36.21%. The phylogenetic analysis of H. roshevitzii determined that H. roshevitzii was clustered closely with Hordeum bogdanii.

Project description:Potassium retention under saline conditions has emerged as an important determinant for salt tolerance in plants. Halophytic Hordeum brevisubulatum evolves better strategies to retain K+ to improve high-salt tolerance. Hence, uncovering K+-efficient uptake under salt stress is vital for understanding K+ homeostasis. HAK/KUP/KT transporters play important roles in promoting K+ uptake during multiple stresses. Here, we obtained nine salt-induced HAK/KUP/KT members in H. brevisubulatum with different expression patterns compared with H. vulgare through transcriptomic analysis. One member HbHAK1 showed high-affinity K+ transporter activity in athak5 to cope with low-K+ or salt stresses. The expression of HbHAK1 in yeast Cy162 strains exhibited strong activities in K+ uptake under extremely low external K+ conditions and reducing Na+ toxicity to maintain the survival of yeast cells under high-salt-stress. Comparing with the sequence of barley HvHAK1, we found that C170 and R342 in a conserved domain played pivotal roles in K+ selectivity under extremely low-K+ conditions (10 μM) and that A13 was responsible for the salt tolerance. Our findings revealed the mechanism of HbHAK1 for K+ accumulation and the significant natural adaptive sites for HAK1 activity, highlighting the potential value for crops to promote K+-uptake under stresses.

Project description:Background:Real-time quantitative PCR has been widely used as the most reliable method to measure gene expression, due to its high accuracy and specificity. Wild barley (Hordeum brevisubulatum (Trin.) Link) is a wild relative species in Triticeae that has strong tolerance to abiotic stresses and extremely wide adaptation. However, suitable references gene have not been documented for standardization of gene expression in wild barley under abiotic stress. Results:Here we report the first systematic and comprehensive analysis of reference genes for quantitative real-time PCR standardization in wild barley. We selected 11 genes, including ACT (Actin), ADP (ADP-ribosylation factor 1), CYP2 (Cyclophilin 2), EF-1α (Elongation factor 1-alpha), GAPDH (Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase), HSP90 (Heat shock protein 90), TUBα (Alpha-tubulin), TUBβ6 (Beta-tubulin 6), UBI (Ubiquitin), 18SrRNA-1 (guanine1575-N7-methyltransferase) and 18SrRNA-3 (adenine1779-N6-dimethyltransferase) from a wild barley transcriptome database and analyzed their expression stabilities in shoots and roots of wild barley seedling under various stress conditions using comparative ΔCt, BestKeeper, Normfinder and geNorm software. The results demonstrated that ADP was the most suitable reference gene in salt stress while UBI showed peak stability under mannitol and ABA stress; EF-1α was the most appropriate reference gene for PEG, GA3, ethylene and heat stress; 18SrRNA-3 was the best choice for cold stress; and TUBα was the first stable gene across different tissues. Conclusions:Our main contribution was to identify reference genes with suitable and stable expression in wild barley under various stress conditions and in different tissues to provide a useful resource for future studies. The results demonstrate the importance of transcriptome data as a useful resource for the screening of candidate reference genes and highlight the need for specific reference genes for specific conditions. Furthermore, these findings will provide valuable information for wild barley and relative species for future research.

Project description:Comparisons of complete chloroplast genome sequences of Hordeum vulgare, Sorghum bicolor and Agrostis stolonifera to six published grass chloroplast genomes reveal that gene content and order are similar but two microstructural changes have occurred. First, the expansion of the IR at the SSC/IRa boundary that duplicates a portion of the 5' end of ndhH is restricted to the three genera of the subfamily Pooideae (Agrostis, Hordeum and Triticum). Second, a 6 bp deletion in ndhK is shared by Agrostis, Hordeum, Oryza and Triticum, and this event supports the sister relationship between the subfamilies Erhartoideae and Pooideae. Repeat analysis identified 19-37 direct and inverted repeats 30 bp or longer with a sequence identity of at least 90%. Seventeen of the 26 shared repeats are found in all the grass chloroplast genomes examined and are located in the same genes or intergenic spacer (IGS) regions. Examination of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) identified 16-21 potential polymorphic SSRs. Five IGS regions have 100% sequence identity among Zea mays, Saccharum officinarum and Sorghum bicolor, whereas no spacer regions were identical among Oryza sativa, Triticum aestivum, H. vulgare and A. stolonifera despite their close phylogenetic relationship. Alignment of EST sequences and DNA coding sequences identified six C-U conversions in both Sorghum bicolor and H. vulgare but only one in A. stolonifera. Phylogenetic trees based on DNA sequences of 61 protein-coding genes of 38 taxa using both maximum parsimony and likelihood methods provide moderate support for a sister relationship between the subfamilies Erhartoideae and Pooideae.
