Project description:Gossypium barbadense is widely cultivated because of its extra-long staple cotton with superior luster, silkiness and high yield. These economically important traits were selected during initial domestication of an agronomically inferior wild ancestor, followed by millennia of human- mediated selection. To reveal the effects of this history on the cotton fiber transcriptome, we conducted comparative expression profiling on mechanically isolated fiber cells at three different stages encompassing early, mid, and late fiber elongation in wild (K101) and domesticated (Pima S-7) accessions, using a microarray platform that interrogates 42,429 unigenes. The distribution of differentially expressed genes across developmental stages was different in the two accessions, with a shift toward greater change earlier in cultivated than in wild G. barbadense. Approximately 4200 genes were differentially expressed between wild and domesticated accessions at one or more of the stages studied. Domestication appears to have led to enhanced modulation of cellular redox levels and the avoidance or delay of stress-like processes. Prolonged fiber growth in cultivated relative to wild G. barbadense is associated with upregulation of signal transduction and hormone signaling genes and down-regulation of cell wall maturation genes. Clues are provided into the processes and genes that may unwittingly have been selected by humans during domestication and development of modern elite lines. Several of the transcriptomic differences between wild and domesticated G. barbadense described here appear to have parallels in a second domesticated cotton species, Gossypium hirsutum, suggesting that replicated domestication of two different species has resulted in overlapping, parallel, metabolic transformations.

Two accessions of G. barbadense were studied, the elite cultivar, Pima S-7, and a wild accession from Bolivia, K101. Seeds of both accessions were sown in sterilized potting mix in the Pohl Conservatory at Iowa State University, Ames, IA, and three biological replicates were grown for 3-5 months. Flowers were tagged at anthesis and harvested at three time points, 2, 10, and 20 days postanthesis. For each of three biological replicates, ovules were excised, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80C.

Project description:Improving the yield by modifying plant architecture is key to progressive crop domestication. Here, we show that a 110-kb deletion on the short arm of chromosome 7 promotes the critical transition from semi-prostrate growth and low yield in wild rice (Oryza rufipogon), to erect growth and high yield in Asian cultivated rice (O. sativa). The microdeletion harbors a tandem repeat of seven putative Cys2-His2 zinc-finger genes. Three of these genes regulate the plant architecture in O. rufipogon and are closely linked to the previously identified PROSTRATE GROWTH 1 (PROG1) gene. Therefore, we refer to this locus as RICE PLANT ARCHITECTURE DOMESTICATION (RPAD). Furthermore, a similar but independent 113-kb deletion was detected at the RPAD locus in African cultivated rice. These results indicate that the deletions, coupled with the loss of a tandem repeat of zinc-finger genes, drove the parallel domestication of plant architecture in Asian and African rice.

Project description:Rice was domesticated independently in Asia and Africa, leading to two distinct but closely related crop species, Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima, respectively. The two domestications lead to morphological changes, in which a higher branching complexity of the panicles, influencing seed production and crop yield. Although much emphasis was placed on changes in transcriptional regulation during rice domestication and improvement, no large-scale study of small RNA regulation changes during domestication has been reported so far. To analyze whether rice domestication has altered the expression of small RNAs, we performed deep sequencing of small RNA transcriptomes from early developmental stages of panicles from 10 genotypes of the cultivated African species and 10 genotypes of its wild-relative O. barthii. Our study shows a drastic expression change of the 21-nucleotide smallRNA population. A total of 29% of these smallRNAs are overexpressed in panicles of O. barthii vs. O. glaberrima, corresponding mainly to 21-nucleotide phased siRNAs (or phasiRNAs). We also show that these changes are associated with a differential expression of a known regulator of phased siRNAs, miR2118 during early panicle development. Finally, these changes are associated to a heterochronic alteration of phasiRNAs and miR2118 expression pattern, during panicle development with a delayed expression in the domesticated species. Our study suggests a major reshaping of the regulation network from a specific class of small RNA during African rice domestication.

Project description:The lack of MIRNA set and genome sequence of O. rufipogon (the ancestor of the cultivated rice) has limited to answer the role of MIRNA genes in rice domestication. In this study, a genome, three small RNA populations and a degradome of O.rufipogon were sequenced by Illumina platform and miRNA expression were investigated by miRNA chips. A de novo genome was assembled using ~55x coverage of raw sequencing data and a total of 387 MIRNAs were identified in the O. rufipogon genome based on ~5.2 million unique small RNA reads from three different tissues of O. rufipogon. Of these O. rufipogon MIRNAs, 259 were not found in the cultivated rice, suggesting loss of these MIRNAs in the cultivated rice. We also found that 48 MIRNAs were novel in the cultivated rice, suggesting that they were potential targets of domestication selection. Some miRNAs showed significant expression difference in the wild and cultivated rice, suggesting that expression of miRNA could also be a target of domestication, as demonstrated for the miR164 family. Our results illustrated MIRNA genes, like protein-coding genes, were significantly shaped during rice domestication and could be one of the driven forces contributed to rice domestication.

Project description:Cultivated carrot (Daucus carota L. ssp. sativus) was domesticated from wild carrot (Daucus carota L. ssp. carota) with radical different traits. The aim of this study was to compare the root transcriptomes between cultivated and wild carrots for SNP discovery, inferring domestication process, and identifying domestication genes. Six cultivated carrots representing main European carrot root types and five wild carrot populations from widely dispersed sites were used. The root transcriptomes were sequenced with multiplexing paried-end sequencing in Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx.
