Profiling expression of coding genes, long noncoding RNAs, and circular RNAs in the rice photo-thermosensitive genic male sterile line Wuxiang S

ABSTRACT: In order to systematically identify the possible regulatory roles of (long nocoding RNAs) lncRNAs and (circular RNAs) cirRNAs in the rice photo-thermosensitive genic male sterile (PTGMS) line that were involved in fertility transition, 18 RNA libraries from rice young panicles of the Wuxiang S sterile line rice (WXS (S)) and its fertile line rice (WXS (F)) at the pollen mother cell (PMC) formation stage (P2), the meiosis stage (P3), and the microspore formation stage (P4) were constructed, with three biological replicates for each condition. These libraries were sequenced using an Illumina Hiseq 2500 platform, and approximately 214.54 Gb clean reads were generated. we performed genome-wide identification and characterization of lncRNAs circRNAs using high-throughput strand-specific RNA sequencing (ssRNA-seq) technology and bioinformatics tools to investigate the expression profiles of circRNAs in the PTGMS rice line WXS and their potential roles in the fertility transition.A total of 3948 lncRNAs and 9994 circRNAs were indentifiled in WXS rice, and our findings clearly revealed that lnRNAs and circRNAs might be endogenous noncoding regulators of flower and pollen development in the PTGMS rice line.

Project description:Background: Partial pollen and embryo sac sterilities are the two main reasons for low fertility in autotetraploid rice. Our previous study revealed that small RNAs changes may associate with pollen fertility in autotetraploid rice. However, knowledge on comparative analysis between the development of pollen and embryo sac by small RNAs in autotetraploid rice is still unknown. In the present study, WE-CLSM (whole-mount eosin B-staining confocal laser scanning microscopy) and high-throughput sequencing technology was employed to examine the cytological variations and to analyze small RNAs changes during pollen and embryo sac development in autotetraploid rice compared with its diploid counterpart. Results: A total of 321 and 368 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEM) were detected during development of pollen and embryo sac in autotetraploid rice, respectively. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis on the targets of miRNAs-enriched during the development of pollen and embryo sac in autotetraploid rice revealed 30 prominent functional gene classes, such as cell differentiation and signal transduction during embryo sac development. However, only 7 prominent functional gene classes, such as flower development and transcription factor activity, were detected during pollen development. The expression levels of 39 DEM, which revealed interaction with meiosis-related genes, showed opposite expression levels in pollen and embryo sac development. Of these DEM, osa-miR1436_L+3_1ss5CT and osa-miR167h-3p were associated with the female meiosis, while osa-miR159a.1 and osa-MIR159a-p5 were related with the male meiosis. 21nt-phasiRNAs were detected both during pollen and embryo sac development, while 24nt-phasiRNAs were found only in pollen development, which displayed down-regulation in autotetraploid compared to diploid rice and their spatial-temporal expression patterns were similar to osa-miR2275d. 24nt TEs-siRNAs were found to be up-regulated in embryo sac but down-regulated in pollen development. Conclusion: The above results not only provide the small RNAs changes during four landmark stages of pollen and embryo sac development in autotetraploid rice but also have identified specifically expressed miRNAs, especially meiosis-related miRNAs, pollen-24nt-phasiRNAs and TEs-siRNAs in autotetraploid rice. Together, these findings provide a foundation for understanding the effect of polyploidy on small RNAs expression patterns during pollen and embryo sac development that may lead to different abnormalities in autotetraploid rice.

Project description:Background: Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a major cash crop throughout the world. Male sterility is an important characteristic in crop species that leads to a failure to produce functional pollen, and it has crucial roles in agricultural breeding and the utilization of heterosis. Objectives: In this study, we identified many crucial factors and important components in metabolic pathways in anther and pollen development, and elucidated the molecular mechanism related to pollen abortion in pepper. Methods: Pepper pollen was observed at different stages to detect the characteristics associated with male sterility and fertility. The phytohormone and oxidoreductase activities were detected in spectrophotometric and redox reaction assays, respectively. Proteins were extracted from male sterile and fertile pepper lines, and identified by TMT/iTRAQ (Tandem mass tags/isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation) and LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer) analysis. Differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) were analyzed based on Gene Ontology annotations and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database according to |fold change)| > 1.3 and P value < 0.05. DAPs were quantified in the meiosis, tetrad, and binucleate stages by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). Results: In this study, we screened and identified one male sterile pepper line with abnormal cytological characteristics in terms of pollen development. The peroxidase and catalase enzyme activities were significantly reduced and increased, respectively, in the male sterile line compared with the male fertile line. Phytohormone analysis demonstrated that the gibberellin, jasmonic acid, and auxin contents changed by different extents in the male sterile pepper line. Proteome analysis screened 1645 DAPs in six clusters, which were mainly associated with the chloroplast and cytoplasm based on their similar expression levels. According to proteome analysis, 45 DAPs were quantitatively identified in the meiosis, tetrad, and binucleate stages by PRM, which were related to monoterpenoid biosynthesis, and starch and sucrose metabolism pathways. Conclusions: We screened 1645 DAPs by proteomic analysis and 45 DAPs were related to anther and pollen development in a male sterile pepper line. In addition, the activities of peroxidase and catalase as well as the abundances of phytohormones such as gibberellin, jasmonic acid, and auxin were related to male sterility. The results obtained in this study provide insights into the molecular mechanism responsible for male sterility and fertility in pepper.

Project description:Pollen development from the microspore involves a series of coordinated cellular events, and the resultant mature pollen is specialized in function that it can quickly germinate and produces a polar-growth pollen tube derived from the vegetative cell to deliver two sperms for fertilization. Understanding the molecular program underlying pollen development and germination still remains a major challenge for plant biology. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Rice Genome Array to comprehensively analyzed the dynamic changes in the transcriptomes of rice pollen at five sequential developmental stages from microspores to germinated pollen. Among the 51,279 transcripts on the array, we found 25,062 pollen-preferential transcripts, among which 2,203 were development stage-enriched. The diversity of transcripts decreased greatly from microspores to mature and germinated pollen, whereas the number of stage-enriched transcripts displayed a U-type change, with the lowest at the bicellular pollen stage; and a transition of overrepresented stage-enriched transcript groups associated with different functional categories, which indicates a shift in gene expression program at the bicellular pollen stage. About 54% of the now-annotated rice F-box protein genes were expressed preferentially in pollen. The transcriptome profile of germinated pollen was significantly and positively correlated with that of mature pollen. Analysis of expression profiles and coexpressed features of the pollen-preferential transcripts related to cell cycle, transcription, the ubiquitin/26S proteasome system, phytohormone signalling, the kinase system and defense/stress response revealed five expression patterns, which are compatible with changes in major cellular events during pollen development and germination. A comparison of pollen transcriptomes between rice and Arabidopsis revealed that 56.6% of the rice pollen preferential genes had homologs in Arabidopsis genome, but 63.4% of these homologs were expressed, with a small proportion being expressed preferentially, in Arabidopsis pollen. Rice and Arabidopsis pollen had non-conservative transcription factors each. These results supply novel insights into the molecular program and key components of the regulatory network regulating pollen development and germination.
