The XTH Gene Family in Schima superba: Genome-Wide Identification, Expression Profiles, and Functional Interaction Network Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH), belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 16, is one of the key enzymes in plant cell wall remodeling. Schima superba is an important timber and fireproof tree species in southern China. However, little is known about XTHs in S. superba. In the present study, a total of 34 SsuXTHs were obtained, which were classified into three subfamilies based on the phylogenetic relationship and unevenly distributed on 18 chromosomes. Furthermore, the intron-exon structure and conserved motif composition of them supported the classification and the members belonging to the same subfamily shared similar gene structures. Segmental and tandem duplication events did not lead to SsuXTH gene family expansion, and strong purifying selection pressures during evolution led to similar structure and function of SsuXTH gene family. The interaction network and cis-acting regulatory elements analysis revealed the SsuXTH expression might be regulated by multiple hormones, abiotic stresses and transcription factors. Finally, expression profiles and GO enrichment analysis showed most of the tandem repeat genes were mainly expressed in the phloem and xylem and they mainly participated in glycoside metabolic processes through the transfer and hydrolysis of xyloglucan in the cell wall and then regulated fiber elongation.

Identification and Validation of Reference Genes for Gene Expression Analysis in Schima superba.

Project description:Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is a reliable and high-throughput technique for gene expression studies, but its accuracy depends on the expression stability of reference genes. Schima superba is a fast-growing timber species with strong resistance. However, thus far, reliable reference gene identifications have not been reported in S. superba. In this study, 19 candidate reference genes were selected and evaluated for their expression stability in different tissues of S. superba. Three software programs (geNorm, NormFinder, and BestKeeper) were used to evaluate the reference gene transcript stabilities, and comprehensive stability ranking was generated by the geometric mean method. Our results show that SsuACT was the most stable reference gene and that SsuACT + SsuRIB was the best reference gene combination for different tissues. Finally, the stable and less stable reference genes were verified using SsuSND1 expression in different tissues. To our knowledge, this is the first report to verify appropriate reference genes for normalizing gene expression in S. superba for different tissues, which will facilitate the future elucidation of gene regulations in this species and useful references for relative species.

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of <i>Schima superba</i> (Teaceae).

Project description:Schima superba is the dominant species of subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest which has the characteristics of ecological fire prevention function. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast genome sequence of S. superba. The cp genome was 157,205 bp in length with a GC content of 37.40%, including a large single-copy (LSC 87,161 bp), a small single-copy (SSC 18,092 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (IR 25,976 bp). The genome encoded 133 functional genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis showed that S. superba was closely related to Schima sinensis, Schima multibracteata, Schima crenata, and Schima remotisertata.

Anticandidal Potential of Stem Bark Extract from Schima superba and the Identification of Its Major Anticandidal Compound.

Project description:Plant-derived extracts are a promising source of new drugs. Schima superba is traditionally used in China for heat clearing, detoxification, and treatment of furuncles. In this study, the anticandidal properties and mechanism of action of S. superba (SSE) were explored using a stem bark extract. SSE possessed high polyphenol and saponin contents of 256.6 ± 5.1 and 357.8 ± 31.5 µg/mg, respectively. A clear inhibition zone was observed for C. albicans growth through the disc diffusion method and the 50% inhibition of C. albicans by SSE was 415.2 µg/mL. Transcriptomic analysis in C. albicans treated with different doses of SSE was conducted through RNA-seq. Average values of 6068 genes and 20,842,500 clean reads were identified from each sample. Among these samples, 1680 and 1956 genes were differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from the SSE treatments of 0.2 and 0.4 mg/mL, respectively. C. albicans growth was inhibited by the changes in gene expression associated with the cell wall and membrane composition including the regulation of chitin degradation and ergosterol biosynthesis. This result could be reflected in the irregularly wrinkled morphology of the ruptured cell as revealed through SEM analysis. ESI-MS and NMR analyses revealed that the major compound purified from SSE was sasanquasaponin III and the 50% inhibition of C. albicans was 93.1 µg/mL. In summary, the traditional Chinese medicine S. superba can be applied as an anticandidal agent in complementary and alternative medicine.

Genome-wide identification of XTH genes in Liriodendron chinense and functional characterization of LcXTH21

Project description:Liriodendron chinense is a relic tree species of the family Magnoliaceae with multiple uses in timber production, landscape decoration, and afforestation. L. chinense often experiences drought stress in arid areas. However, the molecular basis underlying the drought response of L. chinense remains unclear. Many studies have reported that the xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) family plays an important role in drought stress resistance. Hereby, to explore the drought resistance mechanism of L. chinense, we identify XTH genes on a genome-wide scale in L. chinense. A total of 27 XTH genes were identified in L. chinense, and these genes were classified into three subfamilies. Drought treatment and RT-qPCR analysis revealed that six LcXTH genes significantly responded to drought stress, especially LcXTH21. Hence, we cloned the LcXTH21 gene and overexpressed it in tobacco via gene transfer to analyze its function. The roots of transgenic plants were more developed than those of wild-type plants under different polyethylene glycol (PEG) concentration, and further RT-qPCR analysis showed that LcXTH21 highly expressed in root compared to aboveground organs, indicating that LcXTH21 may play a role in drought resistance through promoting root development. The results of this study provide new insights into the roles of LcXTH genes in the drought stress response. Our findings will also aid future studies of the molecular mechanisms by which LcXTH genes contribute to the drought response.

A high-density genetic map of Schima superba based on its chromosomal characteristics.

Project description:BackgroundSchima superba (Theaceae) is a popular woody tree in China. The obscure chromosomal characters of this species are a limitation in the development of high-density genetic linkage maps, which are valuable resources for molecular breeding and functional genomics.ResultsWe determined the chromosome number and the karyotype of S. superba as 2n = 36 = 36 m, which is consistent with the tribe Schimeae (n = 18). A high-density genetic map was constructed using genotyping by sequencing (GBS). A F1 full-sib with 116 individuals and their parents (LC31 × JO32) were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq™ platform. Overall, 343.3 Gb of raw data containing 1,191,933,474 paired-end reads were generated. Based on this, 99,966 polymorphic SNP markers were developed from the parents, and 2209 markers were mapped onto the integrated genetic linkage map after data filtering and SNP genotyping. The map spanned 2076.24 cM and was distributed among 18 linkage groups. The average marker interval was 0.94 cM. A total of 168 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for 14 growth traits were identified.ConclusionsThe chromosome number and karyotype of S. superba was 2n = 36 = 36 m and a linkage map with 2209 SNP markers was constructed to identify QTLs for growth traits. Our study provides a basis for molecular-assisted breeding and genomic studies, which will contribute towards the future research and genetic improvement of S. superba.
