Transcriptomic Complexity in Strawberry Fruit Development and Maturation Revealed by Nanopore Sequencing

ABSTRACT: The use of alternative transcription start or termination sites (aTSS or aTTS) as well as alternative splicing (AS) produce diverse transcript isoforms, playing indispensable roles in the plant development and environmental adaptations. Despite the advances in the finding of the genome-wide alternatively spliced genes in strawberry, it remains unexplored how AS responds to the developmental cues and what relevance do these outcomes have to the gene function. In this study, we have systematically investigated the transcriptome complexity using long-read Oxford Nanopore Technologies along the four successive developmental stages. The full-length cDNA sequencing results unraveled thousands of previously unexplored transcript isoforms raised from aTSS, aTTS, and AS. The relative contributions of these three processes to the complexity of strawberry fruit transcripts were compared. The aTSS and aTTS were more abundant than the AS. Differentially expressed transcripts unraveled the key transitional role of the white fruit stage. Isoform switches of transcripts from 757 genes were observed. They were associated with protein-coding potential change and domain gain or loss as the main consequences. Those genes with switched isoforms take part in the key processes of maturation in the late stages. A case study using yeast two hybrid analysis supported the functional divergence of the two isoforms of the B-box protein 22. Our results provided a new comprehensive overview of the dynamic transcriptomic landscape during strawberry fruit development and maturation.

Genetic regulation of nascent RNA maturation revealed by direct RNA nanopore sequencing [nanopore]

Project description:Quantitative trait loci analyses have revealed an important role for genetic variants in regulating alternative splicing (AS) and alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) in humans. Yet, these studies are generally performed with mature mRNA, so they report on the outcome rather than the processes of RNA maturation and thus may overlook how variants directly modulate pre-mRNA processing. The order in which the many introns of a human gene are removed can substantially influence AS, while nascent RNA polyadenylation can affect RNA stability and decay. However, how splicing order and poly(A) tail length are regulated by genetic variation has never been explored. Here, we used direct RNA nanopore sequencing to investigate allele-specific pre-mRNA maturation in 12 human lymphoblastoid cell lines. We found frequent splicing order differences between alleles and uncovered significant single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-splicing order associations in 17 genes. This included SNPs located in or near splice sites as well as more distal intronic and exonic SNPs. Moreover, several genes showed allele-specific poly(A) tail lengths, many of which also had a skewed allelic abundance ratio. HLA class I transcripts, which encode proteins that play an essential role in antigen presentation, showed the most allele-specific splicing orders, which frequently co-occurred with allele-specific AS, APA or poly(A) tail length differences. Together, our results expose new layers of genetic regulation of pre-mRNA maturation and highlight the power of long-read RNA sequencing for allele-specific analyses.

Comprehensive transcriptomic dataset for early stage fruit development in woodland strawberry Fragaria vesca

Project description:Fragaria vesca, a diploid woodland strawberry with a small and sequenced genome, is an excellent model for studying fruit development. The strawberry fruit is unique in that the edible flesh is actually enlarged receptacle tissue. The true fruit are the numerous dry achenes dotting the receptacleM-^Rs surface. Auxin produced from the achene is essential for the receptacle fruit set, a paradigm for studying crosstalk between hormone signaling and development. To investigate the molecular mechanism underlying strawberry fruit set, next-generation sequencing was employed to profile early-stage fruit development with five fruit tissue types and five developmental stages from floral anthesis to enlarged fruits. This two-dimensional data set provides a systems-level view of molecular events with precise spatial and temporal resolution.

Expanded transcriptomic view of strawberry fruit ripening through meta-analysis.

Project description:Strawberry is an important fruit crop and a model for studying non-climacteric fruit ripening. Fruit ripening and senescence influence strawberry fruit quality and postharvest storability, and have been intensively studied. However, genetic and physiological differences among cultivars preclude consensus understanding of these processes. We therefore performed a meta-analysis by mapping existing transcriptome data to the newly published and improved strawberry reference genome and extracted meta-differentially expressed genes (meta-DEGs) from six cultivars to provide an expanded transcriptomic view of strawberry ripening. We identified cultivar-specific transcriptome changes in anthocyanin biosynthesis-related genes and common changes in cell wall degradation, chlorophyll degradation, and starch metabolism-related genes during ripening. We also identified 483 meta-DEGs enriched in gene ontology categories related to photosynthesis and amino acid and fatty acid biosynthesis that had not been revealed in previous studies. We conclude that meta-analysis of existing transcriptome studies can effectively address fundamental questions in plant sciences.

Transcriptomic complexity of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum revealed by long-read sequencing.

Project description:The Plasmodium falciparum human malaria parasite genome is incompletely annotated and does not accurately represent the transcriptomic diversity of this species. To address this need, we performed long-read transcriptomic sequencing. 5' capped mRNA was enriched from samples of total and nuclear-fractionated RNA from intra-erythrocytic stages and converted to cDNA library. The cDNA libraries were sequenced on PacBio and Nanopore long-read platforms. 12,495 novel isoforms were annotated from the data. Alternative 5' and 3' ends represent the majority of isoform events among the novel isoforms, with retained introns being the next most common event. The majority of alternative 5' ends correspond to genomic regions with features similar to those of the reference transcript 5' ends. However, a minority of alternative 5' ends showed markedly different features, including locations within protein-coding regions. Alternative 3' ends showed similar features to the reference transcript 3' ends, notably adenine-rich termination signals. Distinguishing features of retained introns could not be observed, except for a tendency towards shorter length and greater GC content compared with spliced introns. Expression of antisense and retained intron isoforms was detected at different intra-erythrocytic stages, suggesting developmental regulation of these isoform events. To gain insights into the possible functions of the novel isoforms, their protein-coding potential was assessed. Variants of P. falciparum proteins and novel proteins encoded by alternative open reading frames suggest that P. falciparum has a greater proteomic repertoire than the current annotation. We provide a catalog of annotated transcripts and encoded alternative proteins to support further studies on gene and protein regulation of this pathogen.

Unique distribution of ellagitannins in ripe strawberry fruit revealed by mass spectrometry imaging.

Project description:Ellagitannins (ETs) are hydrolysable tannins composed of a polyol core, primarily glucose, which is esterified with hexahydroxydiphenic acid (HHDP), and in some cases, gallic acid. ETs are the major phenolic compounds found in strawberries and may contribute to the health-related properties of strawberries, because of their strong antioxidative activity. However, their distribution in the strawberry fruit remains unclear. In this study, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) was used to visualize ETs in ripe strawberry fruits. Five peaks, corresponding to the m/z values of ET [M-H]- ions detected in the MALDI-MS spectrum of strawberry extracts, were identified as strictinin, pedunculagin, casuarictin, davuriicin M1, and an unknown ET using MALDI-tandem MS (MS/MS). In addition, liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-MS/MS of the extracts revealed the presence of pedunculagin isomers and the unknown ET. Ion images of these five ETs were reconstructed using MALDI-MSI. Strictinin was widely distributed in and around the achene seed coats, while the other ETs were dispersed in and around the seed coats, and at the bottom of the receptacle; pedunculagin was distributed in the epidermis and pith, whereas casuarictin, the unknown ET, and davuriicin M1 were distributed in the pith. Moreover, MALDI-MSI of a casuarictin standard indicated that in-source fragmentation weakly affected the ion images. The results suggest that the distribution of ETs depends on the presence or absence of their constituents, namely galloyl units, HHDP, and bis-HHDP. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first report on the visualization of ETs in plant tissues using MSI, MALDI-MSI may be a useful tool for analyzing the distribution of ETs in the strawberry fruit.

Triacontanol Promotes the Fruit Development and Retards Fruit Senescence in Strawberry: A Transcriptome Analysis.

Project description:Triacontanol (TA) is a non-toxic, pollution-free, low-cost, high-efficiency, broad-spectrum plant growth regulator that plays an important role in plant growth and development, but its regulation mechanism of strawberry (Sweet charlie, Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) fruit development is still unclear. In this study, we showed that TA treatment (50 μM) could promote fruit development by up-regulating factors related to fruit ripening-related growth and development. TA increased fruit sugar content and anthocyanin accumulation, and many stress-related enzyme activities. In the meantime, Illumina RNA-Seq technology was used to evaluate the effect of TA treatment on strawberry fruit senescence. The results showed that 9338 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained, including 4520 up-regulated DEGs and 4818 down-regulated DEGs. We performed gene ontology (GO) enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis of these DEGs. The results showed that TA treatment caused changes in transcript levels related to cellular processes, hormones and secondary metabolism, such as DNA metabolic processes, flavonoid synthesis, and plant hormone signal transduction. Bioinformatics analysis showed that many transcription factors were related to fruit maturity. Taken together, this study will provide new insights into the mechanism of strawberry development and postharvest response to TA treatment.

Genetic basis for probiotic yeast phenotypes revealed by nanopore sequencing.

Project description:Probiotic yeasts are emerging as preventative and therapeutic solutions for disease. Often ingested via cultured foods and beverages, they can survive the harsh conditions of the gastrointestinal tract and adhere to it, where they provide nutrients and inhibit pathogens like Candida albicans. Yet, little is known of the genomic determinants of these beneficial traits. To this end, we have sequenced 2 food-derived probiotic yeast isolates that mitigate fungal infections. We find that the first strain, KTP, is a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae within a small clade that lacks any apparent ancestry from common European/wine S. cerevisiae strains. Significantly, we show that S. cerevisiae KTP genes involved in general stress, pH tolerance, and adherence are markedly different from S. cerevisiae S288C but are similar to the commercial probiotic yeast species S. boulardii. This suggests that even though S. cerevisiae KTP and S. boulardii are from different clades, they may achieve probiotic effect through similar genetic mechanisms. We find that the second strain, ApC, is a strain of Issatchenkia occidentalis, one of the few of this family of yeasts to be sequenced. Because of the dissimilarity of its genome structure and gene organization, we infer that I. occidentalis ApC likely achieves a probiotic effect through a different mechanism than the Saccharomyces strains. Therefore, this work establishes a strong genetic link among probiotic Saccharomycetes, advances the genomics of Issatchenkia yeasts, and indicates that probiotic activity is not monophyletic and complimentary mixtures of probiotics could enhance health benefits beyond a single species.

The NAC side of the fruit: tuning of fruit development and maturation.

Project description:Fruits and seeds resulting from fertilization of flowers, represent an incredible evolutionary advantage in angiosperms and have seen them become a critical element in our food supply.Many studies have been conducted to reveal how fruit matures while protecting growing seeds and ensuring their dispersal. As result, several transcription factors involved in fruit maturation and senescence have been isolated both in model and crop plants. These regulators modulate several cellular processes that occur during fruit ripening such as chlorophyll breakdown, tissue softening, carbohydrates and pigments accumulation.The NAC superfamily of transcription factors is known to be involved in almost all these aspects of fruit development and maturation. In this review, we summarise the current knowledge regarding NACs that modulate fruit ripening in model species (Arabidopsis thaliana and Solanum lycopersicum) and in crops of commercial interest (Oryza sativa, Malus domestica, Fragaria genus, Citrus sinensis and Musa acuminata).

Unraveling the complexity of transcriptomic, metabolomic and quality environmental response of tomato fruit.

Project description:BackgroundThe environment has a profound influence on the organoleptic quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit, the extent of which depends on a well-regulated and dynamic interplay among genes, metabolites and sensorial attributes. We used a systems biology approach to elucidate the complex interacting mechanisms regulating the plasticity of sensorial traits. To investigate environmentally challenged transcriptomic and metabolomic remodeling and evaluate the organoleptic consequences of such variations we grown three tomato varieties, Heinz 1706, whose genome was sequenced as reference and two "local" ones, San Marzano and Vesuviano in two different locations of Campania region (Italy).ResultsResponses to environment were more pronounced in the two "local" genotypes, rather than in the Heinz 1706. The overall genetic composition of each genotype, acting in trans, modulated the specific response to environment. Duplicated genes and transcription factors, establishing different number of network connections by gaining or losing links, play a dominant role in shaping organoleptic profile. The fundamental role of cell wall metabolism in tuning all the quality attributes, including the sensorial perception, was also highlighted.ConclusionsAlthough similar fruit-related quality processes are activated in the same environment, different tomato genotypes follow distinct transcriptomic, metabolomic and sensorial trajectories depending on their own genetic makeup.
