Novel Genomic Regions of Fusarium Wilt Resistance in Bottle Gourd [Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Standl.] Discovered in Genome-Wide Association Study.

ABSTRACT: Fusarium wilt (FW) is a typical soil-borne disease that seriously affects the yield and fruit quality of bottle gourd. Thus, to improve resistance to FW in bottle gourd, the genetic mechanism underlying FW resistance needs to be explored. In this study, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) based on 5,330 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 89 bottle gourd accessions. The GWAS results revealed a total of 10 SNPs (P ≤ 0.01, -log₁₀ P ≥ 2.0) significantly associated with FW resistance that were detected in at least two environments (2019DI, 2020DI, and the average across the 2 years); these SNPs were located on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, and 9. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) block structure analysis predicted three potential candidate genes for FW resistance. Genes HG_GLEAN_10001030 and HG_GLEAN_10001042 were within the range of the mean LD block of the marker BGReSe_14202; gene HG_GLEAN_10011803 was 280 kb upstream of the marker BGReSe_00818. Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis showed that HG_GLEAN_10011803 was significantly up-regulated in FW-infected plants of YD-4, Yin-10, and Hanbi; HG_GLEAN_10001030 and HG_GLEAN_10001042 were specifically up-regulated in FW-infected plants of YD-4. Therefore, gene HG_GLEAN_10011803 is likely the major effect candidate gene for resistance against FW in bottle gourd. This work provides scientific evidence for the exploration of candidate gene and development of functional markers in FW-resistant bottle gourd breeding programs.

Molecular Genetic Mapping of Two Complementary Genes Underpinning Fruit Bitterness in the Bottle Gourd (Lagenaria siceraria [Mol.] Standl.).

Project description:Fruit bitterness is a serious problem threatening the bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria [Mol.] Standl.) industry worldwide. Previous genetic studies indicated that fruit bitterness in the bottle gourd was controlled by a pair of complementary genes. In this study, based on two non-bitter landraces "Hangzhou Gourd" and "Puxian Gourd," each of which carries a single bitterness gene, and their derived segregation populations, we mapped the complementary genes causing fruit bitterness. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) scanning based on an F2 population detected two QTLs, which was QBt.1 locating in a 17.62-cM interval on linkage group (LG)2 corresponding to a 1.6-Mb region on chromosome 6, and QBt.2 mapped to a 8.44-cM interval on LG9 corresponding to a 1.9-Mb region on chromosome 7. An advanced bulked segregant analysis (A-BSA) well validated the QTL mapping results. Sequence-based comparative analysis showed no syntenic relationship between QBt.1/QBt.2 and the known bitterness genes in cucumber, melon, and watermelon, suggesting that causal genes underlying QBt.1 and QBt.2 were not direct orthologs of the reported cucurbit bitterness genes. Our results shed light on the molecular genetic mechanisms underlying fruit bitterness in the bottle gourd and is useful to guide breeders to properly select parental lines to avoid the occurrence of bitter fruits in breeding programs.

Utilization of bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Standl.) pomace for the preparation of instant kheer (dessert) mix.

Project description:Bottle gourd pomace, a waste from vegetable processing industry was used to prepare instant kheer (dessert) mix. In this study, the bottle gourd was procured from the farm, washed, grated, steam blanched and the grits were further divided into two parts. One part of grits was dried without juice extraction (BGFD- Bottle gourd fresh dried), while, the other half (BGPD- Bottle gourd pomace dried) was dehydrated after extraction of juice. The dehydrated grits were used for the preparation of kheer mix and the recipe was optimized using RSM Central Composite Design (CCD). The variables were BGFD and BGPD ranged 3-7 g. The other ingredients with the fixed quantities were milk powder (50 g), sugar (15 g), and small cardamom (1 g). The product was selected based on sensory responses like taste, colour, flavour, texture, and overall acceptability (OAA). The software suggested a kheer mix prepared using 7 g BGFD and 3 g BGPD will produce the best sensory scores. The prepared kheer mix had a moisture, TSS, carbohydrates, reducing sugars, total sugars, titratable acidity, crude protein, and crude fat content of 7.9%, 27 °B, 72.21%, 10.79%, 16.75%, 0.896% CA, 10.76%, and 7.63%, respectively. The product was rich in energy (400.55 kcal/100 g), total phenols (4.99 mg/100 g), and exhibited strong antioxidant activity (46%). The total plate count on the product on nutrient agar medium was 4.3 × 106 CFU/g. The kheer could be prepared by adding 140 mL of water to 70 g of water to kheer mix and cooking it for 10 min. Further, to see the credibility and obtain more clearer patterns, the Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were applied. The overall variation of the BGFD and BGPD on the sensory parameters based on canonical correlation analysis was 92.5%. The sum of Principal Components PC1 and PC2 explained a very high variability (98.2%) among the studied treatments.

Elucidation of the Flavor Aspects and Flavor-Associated Genomic Regions in Bottle Gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) by Metabolomic Analysis and QTL-seq.

Project description:Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) is a commercially important cucurbitaceous vegetable with health-promoting properties whose collections and cultivars differ considerably in their flavor aspects. However, the metabolomic profile related to flavor has not yet been elucidated. In the present study, a comprehensive metabolite analysis revealed the metabolite profile of the strong-flavor collection "J120" and weak-flavor collection "G32". The major differentially expressed metabolites included carboxylic acids, their derivatives, and organooxygen compounds, which are involved in amino acid biosynthesis and metabolism. QTL-seq was used to identify candidate genomic regions controlling flavor in a MAGIC population comprising 377 elite lines. Three significant genomic regions were identified, and candidate genes likely associated with flavor were screened. Our study provides useful information for understanding the metabolic causes of flavor variation among bottle gourd collections and cultivars. Furthermore, the identified candidate genomic regions may facilitate rational breeding programs to improve bottle gourd quality.

QTL-Seq identifies quantitative trait loci of relative electrical conductivity associated with heat tolerance in bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria).

Project description:Heat is a major abiotic stress that seriously affects watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) production. However, its effects may be mitigated through grafting watermelon to heat tolerant bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) rootstocks. Understanding the genetic basis of heat tolerance and development of reliable DNA markers to indirectly select for the trait are necessary in breeding for new varieties with heat tolerance. The objectives of this study were to investigate the inheritance of heat tolerance and identify molecular markers associated with heat tolerance in bottle gourd. A segregating F2 population was developed from a cross between two heat tolerant and sensitive inbred lines. The population was phenotyped for relative electrical conductivity (REC) upon high temperature treatment which was used as an indicator for heat tolerance. QTL-seq was performed to identify regions associated with heat tolerance. We found that REC-based heat tolerance in this population exhibited recessive inheritance. Seven heat-tolerant quantitative trait loci (qHT1.1, qHT2.1, qHT2.2, qHT5.1, qHT6.1, qHT7.1, and qHT8.1) were identified with qHT2.1 being a promising major-effect QTL. In the qHT2.1 region, we identified three non-synonymous SNPs that were potentially associated with heat tolerance. These SNPs were located in the genes that may play roles in pollen sterility, intracellular transport, and signal recognition. Association of the three SNPs with heat tolerance was verified in segregating F2 populations, which could be candidate markers for marker assisted selection for heat tolerance in bottle gourd. The qHT2.1 region is an important finding that may be used for fine mapping and discovery of novel genes associated with heat tolerance in bottle gourd.

Genomic Regions Associated with Fusarium Wilt Resistance in Flax.

Project description:Modern flax cultivars are susceptible to many diseases; arguably, the most economically damaging of these is the Fusarium wilt fungal disease. Over the past decades international flax breeding initiatives resulted in the development of resistant cultivars. However, much remains to be learned about the mechanisms of resistance to Fusarium infection in flax. As a first step to uncover the genetic factors associated with resistance to Fusarium wilt disease, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using 297 accessions from the collection of the Federal Research Centre of the Bast Fiber Crops, Torzhok, Russia. These genotypes were infected with a highly pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lini MI39 strain; the wilt symptoms were documented in the course of three successive years. Six different single-locus models implemented in GAPIT3 R package were applied to a selected subset of 72,526 SNPs. A total of 15 QTNs (Quantitative Trait Nucleotides) were detected during at least two years of observation, while eight QTNs were found during all three years of the experiment. Of these, ten QTNs occupied a region of 640 Kb at the start of chromosome 1, while the remaining QTNs mapped to chromosomes 8, 11 and 13. All stable QTNs demonstrate a statistically significant allelic effect across 3 years of the experiment. Importantly, several QTNs spanned regions that harbored genes involved in the pathogen recognition and plant immunity response, including the KIP1-like protein (Lus10025717) and NBS-LRR protein (Lus10025852). Our results provide novel insights into the genetic architecture of flax resistance to Fusarium wilt and pinpoint potential candidate genes for further in-depth studies.

The de novo assembly and characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) reveals the presence of homologous conformations produced by repeat-mediated recombination.

Project description:IntroductionBottle gourd is an annual herbaceous plant that not only has high nutritional value and many medicinal applications but is also used as a rootstock for the grafting of cucurbit crops such as watermelon, cucumber and melon. Organellar genomes provide valuable resources for genetic breeding.MethodsA hybrid strategy with Illumina and Oxford Nanopore Technology sequencing data was used to assemble bottle gourd mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes.ResultsThe length of the bottle gourd mitochondrial genome was 357547 bp, and that of the chloroplast genome was 157121 bp. These genomes had 27 homologous fragments, accounting for 6.50% of the total length of the bottle gourd mitochondrial genome. In the mitochondrial genome, 101 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and 10 tandem repeats were identified. Moreover, 1 pair of repeats was shown to mediate homologous recombination into 1 major conformation and 1 minor conformation. The existence of these conformations was verified via PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing. Evolutionary analysis revealed that the mitochondrial genome sequence of bottle gourd was highly conserved. Furthermore, collinearity analysis revealed many rearrangements between the homologous fragments of Cucurbita and its relatives. The Ka/Ks values for most genes were between 0.3~0.9, which means that most of the genes in the bottle gourd mitochondrial genome are under purifying selection. We also identified a total of 589 potential RNA editing sites on 38 mitochondrial protein-coding genes (PCGs) on the basis of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)-seq data. The RNA editing sites of nad1-2, nad4L-2, atp6-718, atp9-223 and rps10-391 were successfully verified via PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing.ConclusionIn conclusion, we assembled and annotated bottle gourd mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes to provide a theoretical basis for similar organelle genomic studies.

Effect of karwanda (Carissa congesta Wight) and sugar addition on physicochemical characteristics of ash gourd (Benincasa hispida) and bottle gourd (Langenaria siceraria) based beverages.

Project description:There is a clear trend towards increasing consumption of juices as they can reduce imbalance of redox potential and provide necessary health benefits to consumers. Levels of karwanda (Carissa congesta Wight) and vegetable juices were varied to prepare nine different formulations of ash gourd-karwanda (AgK) and bottle gourd-karwanda blends (BgK) of higher nutritive, sensory qualities and storability. Total polyphenols (TP), antioxidant activity (AOA), total soluble solids and acidity were increased significantly (p???0.05) with addition of karwanda. AgK blend (35:35) and BgK blend (35:30) were selected based on their higher overall acceptability, TP and AOA. AgK blends had higher ?-amylase (31%) while BgK blends had higher ?-glucosidase (43%) inhibitory activities. Concentration of TP and anthocyanins decreased significantly (p?<?0.05), AOA remained unchanged and anti-inflammatory activities decreased (33-38%) in AgK and BgK blends during accelerated storage at 50 °C for 12 days. Addition of sugar in BgK blend decreased stability of TP (11%), flavonoids (31%) and anthocyanins (8%). During in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, TP, flavonoids and anthocyanins reduction rate was significantly higher for BgK blend with sugar.
