Genome-Wide Analysis of the YABBY Transcription Factor Family in Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.).

ABSTRACT: The YABBY family of plant-specific transcription factors play important regulatory roles during the development of leaves and floral organs, but their functions in Brassica species are incompletely understood. Here, we identified 79 YABBY genes from Arabidopsis thaliana and five Brassica species (B. rapa, B. nigra, B. oleracea, B. juncea, and B. napus). A phylogenetic analysis of YABBY proteins separated them into five clusters (YAB1-YAB5) with representatives from all five Brassica species, suggesting a high degree of conservation and similar functions within each subfamily. We determined the gene structure, chromosomal location, and expression patterns of the 21 BnaYAB genes identified, revealing extensive duplication events and gene loss following polyploidization. Changes in exon-intron structure during evolution may have driven differentiation in expression patterns and functions, combined with purifying selection, as evidenced by K_a/K_s values below 1. Based on transcriptome sequencing data, we selected nine genes with high expression at the flowering stage. qRT-PCR analysis further indicated that most BnaYAB family members are tissue-specific and exhibit different expression patterns in various tissues and organs of B. napus. This preliminary study of the characteristics of the YABBY gene family in the Brassica napus genome provides theoretical support and reference for the later functional identification of the family genes.

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) family in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.).

Project description:BackgroundPhenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), as a key enzyme in the phenylalanine metabolism pathway in plants, plays an important role in the response to environmental stress. However, the PAL family responding to abiotic stress has not been fully characterized in rapeseed.ResultsIn this study, we conducted a genome-wide study of PAL family, and analyzed their gene structure, gene duplication, conserved motifs, cis-acting elements and response to stress treatment. A total of 17 PALs were identified in the rapeseed genome. Based on phylogenetic analysis, the BnPALs were divided into four clades (I, II, IV, and V). The prediction of protein structure domain presented that all BnPAL members contained a conservative PAL domain. Promoter sequence analysis showed that the BnPALs contain many cis-acting elements related to hormone and stress responses, indicating that BnPALs are widely involved in various biological regulatory processes. The expression profile showed that the BnPALs were significantly induced under different stress treatments (NaCl, Na2CO3, AlCl3, and PEG), suggesting that BnPAL family played an important role in response to abiotic stress.ConclusionsTaken together, our research results comprehensively characterized the BnPAL family, and provided a valuable reference for revealing the role of BnPALs in the regulation of abiotic stress responses in rapeseed.

Genome-wide analysis of the auxin/indoleacetic acid (Aux/IAA) gene family in allotetraploid rapeseed (Brassica napus L.).

Project description:Auxin/Indoleacetic acid (Aux/IAA) genes participate in the auxin signaling pathway and play key roles in plant growth and development. Although the Aux/IAA gene family has been identified in many plants, within allotetraploid Brassica napus little is known.In this study, a total of 119 Aux/IAA genes were found in the genome of B. napus. They were distributed non-randomly across all 19 chromosomes and other non-anchored random scaffolds, with a symmetric distribution in the A and C subgenomes. Evolutionary and comparative analysis revealed that 111 (94.1%) B. napus Aux/IAA genes were multiplied due to ancestral Brassica genome triplication and recent allotetraploidy from B. rapa and B. oleracea. Phylogenetic analysis indicated seven subgroups containing 29 orthologous gene sets and two Brassica-specific gene sets. Structures of genes and proteins varied across different genes but were conserved among homologous genes in B. napus. Furthermore, analysis of transcriptional profiles revealed that the expression patterns of Aux/IAA genes in B. napus were tissue dependent. Auxin-responsive elements tend to be distributed in the proximal region of promoters, and are significantly associated with early exogenous auxin up-regulation.Members of the Aux/IAA gene family were identified and analyzed comprehensively in the allotetraploid B. napus genome. This analysis provides a deeper understanding of diversification of the Aux/IAA gene family and will facilitate further dissection of Aux/IAA gene function in B. napus.

Genome-wide analysis of AP2/ERF transcription factors family in <i>Brassica napus</i>.

Project description:The AP2/ERF transcription factor family plays an important role in different biological processes such as growth, development and response to abiotic and biotic stresses in plants. The genome-wide analysis identified 531 AP2/ERF genes in Brassica napus (oilseed rape or canola) that ranged from 333 to 6440 bp in genomic and 273-2493 bp in coding DNA sequence length. We classified BnAP2/ERF proteins into five subfamilies including AP2 (58 genes), ERF (250 genes), DREB/CBF (194 genes), RAV (26 genes), and Soloist (3 genes). Furthermore, AP2/ERF proteins were subdivided into 15 groups according to the AP2/ERF classification in Arabidopsis. The number of exons in BnAP2/ERF genes was from one to eleven and most of these genes in the same subfamily had the same exon-intron pattern. The results also indicated that the composition of conserved motifs in most proteins in each group was similar. The intron-exon patterns and the composition of conserved motifs validated the BnAP2/ERF transcription factors phylogenetic classification. Based on the results of genome distribution, BnAP2/ERF genes were located unevenly on the 19 B. napus chromosomes. The results indicated that gene duplication may play an important role in genome expansion of B. napus. Furthermore, genome evolution of B. napus using orthologous and paralogous identification was studied. We found 278, 380 and 366 orthologous gene pairs between B. napus with A. thaliana, B. rapa and B. oleracea, respectively. The results of this study will be useful in investigation of functional role and molecular mechanisms of BnAP2/ERF transcription factors genes in response to different stresses.

Genome-wide screening and analysis of imprinted genes in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) endosperm.

Project description:Species-specific genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon leading to parent-of-origin-specific differential expression of maternally and paternally inherited alleles. To date, no studies of imprinting have been reported in rapeseed, a tetraploid species. Here, we analysed global patterns of allelic gene expression in developing rapeseed endosperms from reciprocal crosses between inbred lines YN171 and 93275. A total of 183 imprinted genes, consisting of 167 maternal expressed genes (MEGs) and 16 paternal expressed genes (PEGs), were identified from 14,394 genes found to harbour diagnostic SNPs between the parental lines. Some imprinted genes were validated in different endosperm stages and other parental combinations by RT-PCR analysis. A clear clustering of imprinted genes throughout the rapeseed genome was identified, which was different from most other plants. Methylation analysis of 104 out of the 183 imprinted genes showed that 11 genes (7 MEGs and 4 PEGs) harboured differentially methylated regions (DMRs). Unexpectedly, only 1 MEG out of these 11 genes had a DMR that exhibited high CG methylation rate in paternal allele and had big difference between parent alleles. These results extend our understanding of gene imprinting in plants and provide potential avenues for further research in imprinted genes.

Genome-Wide Identification and Structural Analysis of bZIP Transcription Factor Genes in Brassica napus.

Project description:The basic region/leucine zipper motif (bZIP) transcription factor family is one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators in plants. bZIP genes have been systematically characterized in some plants, but not in rapeseed (Brassica napus). In this study, we identified 247 BnbZIP genes in the rapeseed genome, which we classified into 10 subfamilies based on phylogenetic analysis of their deduced protein sequences. The BnbZIP genes were grouped into functional clades with Arabidopsis genes with similar putative functions, indicating functional conservation. Genome mapping analysis revealed that the BnbZIPs are distributed unevenly across all 19 chromosomes, and that some of these genes arose through whole-genome duplication and dispersed duplication events. All expression profiles of 247 bZIP genes were extracted from RNA-sequencing data obtained from 17 different B. napus ZS11 tissues with 42 various developmental stages. These genes exhibited different expression patterns in various tissues, revealing that these genes are differentially regulated. Our results provide a valuable foundation for functional dissection of the different BnbZIP homologs in B. napus and its parental lines and for molecular breeding studies of bZIP genes in B. napus.

Earliness traits in rapeseed (Brassica napus): SNP loci and candidate genes identified by genome-wide association analysis.

Project description:Life cycle timing is critical for yield and productivity of Brassica napus (rapeseed) cultivars grown in different environments. To facilitate breeding for earliness traits in rapeseed, SNP loci and underlying candidate genes associated with the timing of initial flowering, maturity and final flowering, as well as flowering period (FP) were investigated in two environments in a diversity panel comprising 300 B. napus inbred lines. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using 201,817 SNP markers previously developed from SLAF-seq (specific locus amplified fragment sequencing) revealed a total of 131 SNPs strongly linked (P?<?4.96E-07) to the investigated traits. Of these 131 SNPs, 40 fell into confidence intervals or were physically adjacent to previously published flowering time QTL or SNPs. Phenotypic effect analysis detected 35 elite allelic variants for early maturing, and 90 for long FP. Candidate genes present in the same linkage disequilibrium blocks (r2>0.6) or in 100 kb regions around significant trait-associated SNPs were screened, revealing 57 B. napus genes (33 SNPs) orthologous to 39 Arabidopsis thaliana flowering time genes. These results support the practical and scientific value of novel large-scale SNP data generation in uncovering the genetic control of agronomic traits in B. napus, and also provide a theoretical basis for molecular marker-assisted selection of earliness breeding in rapeseed.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Seed Acid Detergent Lignin (ADL) and Hull Content in Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.).

Project description:A stable yellow-seeded variety is the breeding goal for obtaining the ideal rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) plant, and the amount of acid detergent lignin (ADL) in the seeds and the hull content (HC) are often used as yellow-seeded rapeseed screening indices. In this study, a genome-wide association analysis of 520 accessions was performed using the Q + K model with a total of 31,839 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites. As a result, three significant associations on the B. napus chromosomes A05, A09, and C05 were detected for seed ADL content. The peak SNPs were within 9.27, 14.22, and 20.86 kb of the key genes BnaA.PAL4, BnaA.CAD2/BnaA.CAD3, and BnaC.CCR1, respectively. Further analyses were performed on the major locus of A05, which was also detected in the seed HC examination. A comparison of our genome-wide association study (GWAS) results and previous linkage mappings revealed a common chromosomal region on A09, which indicates that GWAS can be used as a powerful complementary strategy for dissecting complex traits in B. napus. Genomic selection (GS) utilizing the significant SNP markers based on the GWAS results exhibited increased predictive ability, indicating that the predictive ability of a given model can be substantially improved by using GWAS and GS.

Characterizing Variation of Branch Angle and Genome-Wide Association Mapping in Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.).

Project description:Changes in the rapeseed branch angle alter plant architecture, allowing more efficient light capture as planting density increases. In this study, a natural population of rapeseed was grown in three environments and evaluated for branch angle trait to characterize their phenotypic patterns and genotype with a 60K Brassica Infinium SNP array. Significant phenotypic variation was observed from 20 to 70°. As a result, 25 significant quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with branch angle were identified on chromosomes A2, A3, A7, C3, C5, and C7 by the MLM model in TASSEL 4.0. Orthologs of the functional candidate genes involved in branch angle were identified. Among the key QTL, the peak SNPs were close to the key orthologous genes BnaA.Lazy1 and BnaC.Lazy1 on A3 and C3 homologous genome blocks. With the exception of Lazy (LA) orthologous genes, SQUMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN LIKE 14 (SPL14) and an auxin-responsive GRETCHEN HAGEN 3 (GH3) genes from Arabidopsis thaliana were identified close to two clusters of SNPs on the A7 and C7 chromosomes. These findings on multiple novel loci and candidate genes of branch angle will be useful for further understanding and genetic improvement of plant architecture in rapeseed.

Genome-Wide Analysis of the YABBY Transcription Factor Family in Pineapple and Functional Identification of AcYABBY4 Involvement in Salt Stress.

Project description:The plant-specific transcription factor gene family, YABBY, belongs to the subfamily of zinc finger protein superfamily and plays an essential regulatory role in lateral organ development. In this study, nine YABBY genes were identified in the pineapple genome. Seven of them were located on seven different chromosomes and the remaining two were located on scaffold 1235. Through protein structure prediction and protein multiple sequence alignment, we found that AcYABBY3, AcYABBY5 and AcYABBY7 lack a C2 structure in their N-terminal C2C2 zinc finger protein structure. Analysis of the cis-acting element indicated that all the seven pineapple YABBY genes contain multiple MYB and MYC elements. Further, the expression patterns analysis using the RNA-seq data of different pineapple tissues indicated that different AcYABBYs are preferentially expressed in various tissues. RT-qPCR showed that the expression of AcYABBY2, AcYABBY3, AcYABBY6 and AcYABBY7 were highly sensitive to abiotic stresses. Subcellular localization in pineapple protoplasts, tobacco leaves and Arabidopsis roots showed that all the seven pineapple YABBY proteins were nucleus localized. Overexpression of AcYABBY4 in Arabidopsis resulted in short root under NaCl treatment, indicating a negative regulatory role of AcYABBY4 in plant resistance to salt stress. This study provides valuable information for the classification of pineapple AcYABBY genes and established a basis for further research on the functions of AcYABBY proteins in plant development and environmental stress response.
