Project description:What methylation changes are occurring during seed development largely remains unknown. To uncover the possible role of DNA methylation throughout all of seed development - from fertilization through dormancy and post-germination in soybean, we characterized the methylome of whole seeds representing the differentiation (GLOB and COT stages), maturation (early- [EM], mid- [B1] and late- [AA1] maturation stages), dormancy (DRY stage), and post-germination (seedling) phases of soybean seed development using Illumina sequencing. In addition, we characterized the methylome of the cotyledons of germinated seedling to examine methylation differences before and after germination.

Project description:To understand the molecular events underlying seed desiccation and germination, we performed transcriptome analysis of soybean (Glycine max) embryos at three seed developmental stages (early, mid and late desiccation), mature dry seeds, and three germination stages (3, 16 and 27 hour-after-imbibition).

Project description:We report the genome-wide transcriptome of soybean seeds across several stages of seed development and the entire life cycle using Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology. Specifically, we profiled whole seeds containing globular-stage, heart-stage, cotyledon-stage, and early maturation-stage embryos. We also profiled dry soybean seeds, and vegetative and reproductive tissues including leaves, roots, stems, seedlings, and floral buds. Illumina sequencing of transcripts from whole seeds at five stages of seed development (globular, heart, cotyledon, early-maturation, dry), and vegetative (leaves, roots, stems, seedlings) and reproductive (floral buds) tissues.

Project description:Huanghuazhan (HHZ) and 9311 are two elite rice cultivars in China. They have achieved high yield through quite different mechanisms. One of the major features that gives high yield capacity to 9311 is its strong early vigor, i.e., faster establishment of its seedling as well as its better growth in its early stages. To understand the mechanistic basis of early vigor in 9311, as compared to HHZ the cultivar, we have examined, under controlled environmental conditions, different morphological and physiological traits that may contribute to its early vigor. Our results show that the fresh weight of the seeds, at germination, not only determined the seedling biomass at 10 days after germination (DAG), but was also responsible for ~ 80% of variations in plant biomass between the two cultivars even up to 30 DAG. Furthermore, the 9311 cultivar had a larger root system, which led to its higher nitrogen uptake capacity. Other noteworthy observations about 9311 being a better cultivar than HHZ are : (i) Ten out of 15 genes involved in nitrogen metabolism were much more highly expressed in its roots; (ii) it had a higher water uptake rate, promoting better root-to-shoot nitrogen transfer; and (iii) consistent with the above, it had higher leaf photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance. All of the above identified features explain, to a large extent, why the 9311, as compared to HHZ, exhibits much more vigorous early growth.

Project description:Chinese soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) cultivars Rsmv1 and Ssmv1 were used for soybean mosaic virus (SMV) resistance genes screening. The Rsmv1 cultivar was highly-resistant to SMV but the Ssmv1 cultivar was highly-susceptible. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying SMV inoculation and identified distinct expression genes between Rsmv1 and Ssmv1.

Project description:Wheat seed germination is highly related to seedling survival rate and subsequent vegetative growth,and therefore directly affects the conformation of wheat yield and quality. So wheat seed germination is not only important to itself, but the whole human society. However, due to the large genome size, many studies related to wheat seed are very complex and uncompleted. Transcriptome analysis of elite Chinese bread wheat cultivar Jimai 20 may provides a comprehensive understanding of wheat seed germination. Seed germination involves in the regulation of large number of genes, whether these genes are normal activated or not is very important to seed germination. We performed microarray analysis using the Affymetrix Gene Chip to reveal the gene expression profiles in five phases of wheat cultivar Jimai 20 seed germination. Our results provide a new insights into the thoroughly metabolic changes of seed germination as well as the relationship between some significant genes.

Project description:How epigenetics is involved in the transition from seed maturation to seed germination largely remains elusive. To uncover the possible role of epigenetics in gene expression during the transition from seed maturation to seed germination in soybean, the transcriptome of cotyledons from four stages of soybean seed maturation and germination, including mid-late maturation, late maturation, seed dormancy and seed germination, were profiled by Illumina sequencing. For the genes that are quantitatively regulated at the four stages, two antagonistic epigenetic marks, H3K4me3 and H3K27me3, together with the binding of RNA polymerase II, were investigated at the four stages by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). For 10 out of 16 genes examined, the relative enrichment of histone modification marks (H3K4me3 and H3K27me3) and RNA polymerase II binding on their promoter regions correlates well with their relative expression levels at four stages, suggesting the involvement of epigenetics in transcriptional regulation. A striking finding is that seed germination-specific genes start to show open chromatin (H3K4me3) during late seed maturation although their transcripts do not accumulate, which is further supported by RNA polymerase II binding. Together, our results provide the first evidence that seed germination genes can be primed for transcription (open chromatin and RNA polymerase II binding) during seed maturation, highlighting that the transition from seed maturation to seed germination starts at late seed maturation stages at both the genetic and epigenetic levels.
