Characterization of the Rosa roxburghii Tratt transcriptome and analysis of MYB genes

ABSTRACT: Rosa roxburghii Tratt belongs to the Rosaceae family, and the fruit is flavorful, economic, and high nutritious, providing health benefits. MYB proteins play key roles in R. roxburghii’ development and fruit quality. However, the available genomic and transcriptomic information are extremely deficient. Here, a normalized cDNA library was constructed using five tissues, stem, leaf, flower, young fruit, and mature fruit, with three repetitions, and sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 3000 platform. De novo assembly was performed, and 470.66 million clean reads were obtained. In total, 63,727 unigenes, with an average GC content of 42.08%, were determined and 59,358 were annotated. In addition, 9,354 unigenes were assigned the Gene Ontology category, and 20,202 unigenes were assigned to 25 Eukaryotic Ortholog Groups. Additionally, 19,507 unigenes were classified into 140 pathways of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database. Using the transcriptome, 163 unigenes associated with MYB were detected. Among these genes, there were total 75 genes which strikingly expressed in various tissues, including 10 R1 MYB, 42 R2R3 MYB, 1 R1R2R3 MYB, 3 MYB and 19 atypical MYB-like proteins. The expression levels of 12 MYB genes randomly selected for qRT-PCR analysis were consistent with the RNA-seq results. A total of 37,545 microsatellites were detected, with an average EST-SSR frequency of 0.59 (37,545/63,727). This transcriptome data will be valuable for identifying genes of interest and studying their expression and evolution.

Project description:Although pear is an important edible fruit species, the current available genomic information is limited. Combining the Solexa/ Illumina RNA-seq high-throughput sequencing approach with Digital Gene Expression (DGE) analysis results in a powerful transcriptomic study. This publication reports the transcriptome profiling analysis of Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd. using RNA-seq and DGE in order to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying biological aspects of pear, especially fruit development and maturation.Using high-throughput Illumina RNA-seq combined with a tag-based Digital Gene Expression (DGE) system, de novo transcriptome assembly and gene expression analysis of P. bretschneideri were performed at an unprecedented depth (5.47 gigabase pairs). Approximately 60.77 million reads were obtained, trimmed, and assembled into 90,227 unigenes. The unigenes comprised 17,619 contig clusters and 72,608 singletons and were an average length of 508 bp and had an N50 of 635 bp. Sequence similarity analyses against six public databases (Uniprot, NR and COGs at NCBI, Pfam, InterPro and KEGG) found 61,636 unigenes that could be annotated with gene descriptions, conserved protein domains, or gene ontology terms. 34.6% of the unigenes (31,215) were annotated against KEGG into 121 known metabolic or signaling pathways. DGE libraries of five different developmental fruit stages were constructed and analyzed, and the gene expression variations between two consecutive stages were compared. Thousands of genes showed significantly different expression levels based on the various comparisons. Extensive transcriptome and DGE profiling data have been obtained from the deep sequencing of the Chinese white pear, which can serve as an important public information platform for gene expression, genomic, and functional genomic studies in P. bretschneideri and which provides comprehensive gene expression information at the transcriptional level that could facilitate understanding of the molecular mechanisms in fruit development and maturation.

Project description:Zanthoxylum armatum (Z. armatum) is one of the most economical trees with the unique numbing taste. However, the underlying regulation mechanism involved in the numbing-taste remains scarce. Thus, uncovering the vital genes associated with numbing-taste biosythesis pathways is critical for revealing the genetic information and breeding the high-quality Z. armatum germplasms. Here, a de novo transcriptome assembly of the five major organs was performed in Z. armatum, including roots, stems, leaf buds, mature leaves and fruits. A total of 111 318 unigenes were generated with an average of 1 014 bp. Meanwhile, a large number of SSR and SNP/Indel loci were obtained to improve our understanding about the phylogenetic and genetic information in Z. armatum. The organ specific unigenes of five major samples were screened and annotated with GO and KEGG enrichment analysis, respectively. Additionally, 53 and 34 unigenes were exclusively up-regulated in fruit samples, and identified as candidate unigenes for terpenoid biosynthesis process and fatty acid biosynthesis, elongation and degradation pathways, respectively. Moreover, he forty days after fertilization (Fr4 stage) could be a important period to accumulate the terpenoid compounds in the fruit development and maturation process of Z. armatum. The Fr4 stage could be a vital point to promote the first few steps of fatty acid biosynthesis process, and the subsequent reactions could be significantly catalyzed at sixty two days after fertilization (Fr6 stage). The present study conducted the de novo transcriptome assembly of the five major organs in Z. armatum. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first comprehensive analysis to reveal the underlying genes related to the unique numbing taste in Z. armatum. The assembled transcriptome profiles will expand the genetic information and improve our understanding for gene functional studies, which helps in engineering high-quality cultivars of Z. armatum.
