Project description:Expression divergence caused by genetic variation and crosstalks among subgenomes of the allohexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum. L., BBAADD) is hypothesized to increase its adaptability and/or plasticity. However, the molecular basis of expression divergence remains unclear. Squamosa promoter-binding protein-like (SPL) transcription factors are critical for a wide array of biological processes. In this study, we constructed expression regulatory networks by combining DAP-seq for 40 SPLs, ATAC-seq, and RNA-seq. Our findings indicate that a group of low-affinity SPL binding regions (SBRs) were targeted by diverse SPLs and caused different sequence preferences around the core GTAC motif. The SBRs including the low-affinity ones are evolutionarily conserved, enriched GWAS signals related to important agricultural traits. However, those SBRs are highly diversified among the cis-regulatory regions (CREs) of syntenic genes, with less than 8% SBRs coexisting in triad genes, suggesting that CRE variations are critical for subgenome differentiations. Knocking out of TaSPL7A/B/D and TaSPL15A/B/D subfamily further proved that both high- and low-affinity SBRs played critical roles in the differential expression of genes regulating tiller number and spike sizes. Our results have provided baseline data for downstream networks of SPLs and wheat improvements and revealed that CRE variations are critical sources for subgenome divergence in the allohexaploid wheat.

Project description:Allohexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum, L.) provides ~ 20% of calories consumed by humans. Hitherto lack of genome sequence for the three homoelogous and highly similar bread wheat genomes (A, B and, D) impeded expression analysis of the grain transcriptome. We used novel genome information to analyze the cell type specific expression of homeologous genes in the developing wheat grain.

Project description:Iron (Fe) plays a pivotal role in several metabolic and biosynthetic pathways essential for plant growth. Fe deficiency in plants severely affects the overall crop yield. Despite several studies on iron deficiency responses in different plant species, these mechanisms remain unclear in the allohexaploid wheat, which is the most widely cultivated commercial crop. In order to gain a comprehensive insight into molecular responses of bread wheat when exposed to iron deficiency, we studied transcriptomic changes in the roots and flag leaves of wheat plants subjected to iron-deficient and iron-sufficient conditions during early grain filling.

Project description:Alteration in gene expression accompanying initial stages of allopolyploidy is a prominent feature in plants, but its spectrum and model are highly idiosyncratic. We used multi-colour GISH to identify individuals from two nascent allohexaploid wheat lines between Triticum turgidum and Aegilops tauschii, which had a transgenerationally stable chromosomal constitution mimicking that of common wheat. We performed genomewide analysis of gene expression for these plants along with their parental species using the Affymetrix GeneChip Wheat Genome-Array. Comparison with parental species coupled with inclusion of empirical mid-parent values (MPVs) revealed two patterns of alteration in gene expression in the allohexaploid lines: parental dominance expression and nonadditive expression. Genes involved in each altered pattern could be classified into three distinct groups, stochastic, heritable and persistent, based on their transgenerational heritability and inter-line conservation. Whereas both altered patterns of gene expression showed a propensity of inheritance, identity of the involved genes is stochastic, consistent with the involvement of diverse Gene Ontology (GO) terms. Nonetheless, those genes showing nonadditive expression exhibited a significant enrichment for vesicle-function. Our results suggest global alteration in gene expression conditioned by nascent allopolyploidy likely play functional roles in stabilization and establishment of the newly formed plants, and consequential to evolution. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Wheat Genome-Array to compare the expression difference of newly synthetic wheat allopolyploid lines and their parental lines.

Project description:The yield of wheat is highly impacted by environmental stresses. The combinatorial regulation of sequence-specific transcription factors(TFs) defines a regulatory network that underlies plant stress responses. Here we created a comprehensive catalog of genomic binding sites of 115 TFs underlying abiotic stress responses by leveraging DAP-seq in Triticum Urartu, along with epigenomic profiles. The majority of gene distant TF binding sites(TFBS) are embedded in transposable elements(TEs), whose functional relevance was supported by a signature of purifying selection and active epigenomic features. Furthermore, ~30% non-TE TFBS share high sequence similarity with TE-embeded TFBS, potentially derived from Triticeae-specific TEs and have almost no sequence homology in non-Triticeae species. The expansion of TE-derived TFBS in wheat linked to wheat-specific stress responsive genes, suggesting that TEs are an important driving force for regulatory innovation. Altogether, TEs have significantly and continuously shaped regulatory network in wheat adaptation.

Project description:We performed ChIP-seq for the meiotic strand exchange protein DMC1, which marks an early stage in the meiotic recombination pathway, and the chromosome axis protein ASY1, which promotes interhomolog synapsis and recombination in plants, using tissue collected from immature pre-emergence spikes from wild type bread wheat cultivar Chinese Spring plants. To investigate connections between meiotic recombination and chromatin states in wheat, we also performed ChIP-seq for euchromatic (H3K4me3) and constitutive heterochromatic (H3K9me2 and H3K27me1) marks, and mapped genome-wide nucleosome occupancy via micrococcal nuclease sequencing (MNase-seq) using leaf tissue from Chinese Spring.
