An atlas of wheat epigenetic regulatory elements reveals subgenome-divergence in the regulation of development and stress responses

ABSTRACT: Wheat (Triticum aestivum) has a large allohexaploid genome. Subgenome-divergent regulation contributed to genome plasticity and the domestication of polyploid wheat. However, the specificity encoded in the wheat genome determining subgenome-divergent spatio-temporal regulation has been largely unexplored. The considerable size and complexity of the genome are major obstacles to dissecting the regulatory specificity. Here, we compared the epigenomes and transcriptomes from a large set of samples under diverse developmental and environmental conditions. Thousands of distal epigenetic regulatory elements (distal-epiREs) were specifically linked to their target promoters with coordinated epigenomic changes. We revealed that subgenome-divergent activity of homologous regulatory elements are affected by specific epigenetic signatures. Subgenome-divergent epiRE regulation of tissue specificity is associated with dynamic modulation of H3K27me3 mediated by Polycomb complex and demethylases. Furthermore, quantitative epigenomic approaches detected key stress responsive cis- and trans-acting factors validated by DNA Affinity Purification and sequencing (DAP-seq), and demonstrated the coordinated interplay between epiRE sequence contexts, epigenetic factors, and transcription factors in regulating subgenome divergent transcriptional responses to external changes. Thus, this study provides a wealth of resources for elucidating the epiRE regulomics and subgenome-divergent regulation in hexaploid wheat, and gives new clues for interpreting genetic and epigenetic interplay in regulating the benefits of polyploid wheat.

Death and birth of transposable elements underlie subgenome convergent and divergent transcription in common wheat

Project description:Common wheat (T. aestivum) converged three subgenomes adapted to different environments. The combinatorial interaction between transcription factors (TFs) and regulatory elements (REs) defines a regulatory circuit that underlies subgenome convergence and divergence. Compared to the relatively conserved gene composition across subgenomes, the intergenic regions with abundant REs is drastically diversified by almost complete TE turnovers, raising major questions regarding how subgenome convergent and divergent regulation is encoded in the highly diversified intergenic regions, and the impact of TE evolution on regulatory conservation and innovation. In the present study, we created genome-wide TF binding catalog to assemble an extensive wheat regulatory network comprising connections among 182 TFs. The different effects of ancient and recent TE insertions on regulatory specificity were observed. Subgenome asymmetric TE expansion is an important source of subgenome divergent TFBS, which help explain the vast occupancy difference across subgenomes. Interestingly, the ancient expansion of RLC_famc1.4-derived TFBS occurred in more than 25% triads promoters. A significant fraction of these TE-derived TFBS subjected to region-specific evolutionary selections, resulting in subgenome-balanced TF binding but unbalanced degeneration of flanking TE sequences. These TE-derived subgenome convergent and divergent regulation linked to subgenome conserved and diversified pathways, suggesting that TEs are an important regulatory driving force contributed to polyploid evolution. Overall, this study demonstrated the impact of TEs on shaping the plasticity and adaptation of common wheat, enriched the theories of TE-promoted transcriptional innovation from the evolutionary aspects of polyploid regulation since first reported by McClintock.

A quantitative computational framework for allopolyploid single-cell data integration and core gene ranking in development [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Polyploidization drives regulatory and phenotypic innovation. How the merger of different genomes contributes to polyploid development is a fundamental issue in evolutionary developmental biology and breeding research. Clarifying this issue is challenging because of genome complexity and the difficulty in tracking stochastic subgenome divergence during development. Recent single-cell sequencing techniques enabled probing subgenome divergent regulation in the context of cellular differentiation. However, analyzing single-cell data suffers from high error rates due to high-dimensionality, noise, and sparsity, and the errors stack up in polyploid analysis due to the increased dimensionality of comparisons between subgenomes of each cell, hindering deeper mechanistic understandings. Here, we developed a quantitative computational framework, pseudo-genome divergence quantification (pgDQ), for quantifying and tracking subgenome divergence directly at the cellular level. Further comparing with cellular differentiation trajectories derived from scRNA-seq data allowed for an examination of the relationship between subgenome divergence and the progression of development. pgDQ produces robust results and is insensitive to data dropout and noise, avoiding high error rates due to multiple comparisons of genes, cells, and subgenomes. A statistical diagonostic approach is proposed to identify genes that are central to subgenome divergence during development, which facilitates the integration of different data modalities, enabling the identification of factors and pathways that mediate subgenome-divergent activity during development. Case studies demonstrated that applying pgDQ to single cell and bulk tissue transcriptome data promotes a systematic and deeper understanding of how dynamic subgenome divergence contributes to developmental trajectories in polyploid evolution.

Homology-mediated inter-chromosomal interactions in hexaploid wheat lead to specific subgenome territories following polyploidization and introgression

Project description:Polyploidization and introgression are major events driving plant genome evolution and influencing crop breeding. However, the mechanisms underlying the higher-order chromatin organization of subgenomes and alien chromosomes are largely unknown. We probe the three-dimensional chromatin architecture of Aikang 58 (AK58), a widely-cultivated allohexaploid wheat variety carrying the 1RS/1BL translocation chromosome. The regions involved in inter-chromosomal interactions, both within and between subgenomes, have highly similar sequences. Subgenome-specific territories tend to be connected by subgenome-dominant homologous transposable elements (TEs). The alien 1RS chromosomal arm, which was introgressed from rye and differs from its wheat counterpart, has relatively few inter-chromosome interactions with wheat chromosomes. An analysis of local chromatin structures reveals topologically associating domain (TAD)-like regions covering 52% of the AK58 genome, the boundaries of which are enriched with active genes, zinc-finger factor-binding motifs, CHH methylation, and 24-nt small RNAs. The chromatin loops are mostly localized around TAD boundaries, and the number of gene loops is positively associated with gene activity. The present study reveals the impact of the genetic sequence context on the higher-order chromatin structure and subgenome stability in hexaploid wheat. Specifically, we characterized the sequence homology-mediated inter-chromosome interactions and the non-canonical role of subgenome-biased TEs. Our findings may have profound implications for future investigations of the interplay between genetic sequences and higher-order structures and their consequences on polyploid genome evolution and introgression-based breeding of crop plants.

Subgenome-specific usage of transposable element-derived promoters and enhancers in bread wheat development

Project description:Transcription start site (TSS) is the hub integrating regulatory input from promoters and enhancers. Common wheat converged three subgenomes adapted to different environment and established as a major crop worldwide. Detection of more precise and new TSS of both genes and enhancers in common wheat is the basis in interpreting transcriptional regulatory networks as well as the subgenome divergent regulation in their entirety.

LHP1-mediated conditional repression of subgenome-diversified defenses is responsible for the high plasticity of allopolyploid wheat

Project description:High plasticity of common wheat is attributed to the captured and polyploidization-promoted diversity. However, uncontrolled subgenome diversification can lead to hybrid conflict and dysgenesis, resulting in decreased diversity. How genomic diversity is maintained and interpreted to increase plasticity is unclear. By data-mining from the binding of 193 genome-wide trans-factors and genetic perturbations in common wheat, we identified LHP1 as a major regulator of subgenome-diversified defense genes, enhancer RNAs, and metabolite synthesis-related gene clusters via H3K27me3. Stripe rust infection leads to a global decrease in LHP1-mediated H3K27me3, deprivation of which enhances common wheat stripe rust resistance. We also revealed the consistency between subgenome diversity and population diversity, potentially promoted by LHP1, implying the recent diversification preferentially occurred in the captured subgenome-diversified regions regulated by LHP1. Thus, common wheat benefitted from multi-faced role of LHP1 in promoting sequence diversity and repressing subgenome-diversified defenses; this constraint is eliminated by pathogen infections, enabling timely release and fixation of favorable variations, conferring the evolutionary advantage and high plasticity of common wheat.

Subgenome dominance in an interspecific hybrid, synthetic allopolyploid, and a 140 year old naturally established neo-allopolyploid monkeyflower

Project description:The importance and applications of polyploidy have long been recognized, from shaping the evolutionary success of flowering plants to improving agricultural productivity. Recent studies have shown that one of the parental subgenomes in ancient polyploids is generally more dominant - having both retained more genes and being more highly expressed - a phenomenon termed subgenome dominance. How quickly one subgenome dominates within a newly formed polyploid, if immediate or after millions of years, and the genomic features that determine which genome dominates remain poorly understood. To investigate the rate of subgenome dominance emergence, we examined gene expression, gene methylation, and transposable element (TE) methylation in a natural less than 140 year old allopolyploid (Mimulus peregrinus), a resynthesized interspecies triploid hybrid (M. robertsii), a resynthesized allopolyploid (M. peregrinus), and diploid progenitors (M. guttatus and M. luteus). We show that subgenome expression dominance occurs instantly following the hybridization of two divergent genomes and that subgenome expression dominance significantly increases over generations. Additionally, CHH methylation levels are significantly reduced in regions near genes and within transposons in the first generation hybrid, intermediate in the resynthesized allopolyploid, and are repatterned differently between the dominant and submissive subgenomes in the natural allopolyploid. Our analyses reveal that the subgenome differences in levels of TE methylation mirror the increase in expression bias observed over the generations following the hybridization. These findings not only provide important insights into genomic and epigenomic shock that occurs following hybridization and polyploid events, but may also contribute to uncovering the mechanistic basis of heterosis and subgenomic dominance.

Transcriptome Shock Invokes Disruption of Parental Expression-Conserved Genes in Tetraploid Wheat

Project description:Allopolyploidy, entailing whole genome duplication (WGD) of merged divergent genomes of different species, often instigates transcriptome shock, whereby both total gene expression level and homeolog expression partitioning can be disrupted and remodeled. Little is known about the extent to which the parental expression-conserved genes will be disrupted/remodeled by allopolyploidization, nor the evolutionary relevancy of shock-induced expression repatterning. Here, by microarray-based gene expression profiling and gene-specific cDNA-pyrosequencing, we assessed transgenerational transcriptome shock in a synthetic allotetraploid wheat (AT2) with karyotype and basic morphology mimicking those of natural tetraploid wheat, Triticum turgidum. We show that the transcriptome shock in AT2 is exceptionally strong that it disrupted intrinsically conserved parental gene expression, and resulted in extensive expression nonadditivity in the newly formed allotetraploid plants. At total expression level, a substantial proportion of shock-induced novel expression, especially over-transgressive expression, was rapidly stabilized already in early generations of AT2. Extensive remodeling of homeolog expression occurred in AT2, including those genes that showed additive total expression, and which generated subgenome expression dominance, a pattern that mirrors T. turgidum. Thus, the shock-induced new patterns of gene expression at both the total expression level and subgenome homeolog partitioning showed evidence of evolutionary persistence. Complex relationships between homeolog expression remodeling and nonadditive total expression were observed in a tissue-specific manner. We have 9 samples including two tissues, leaf and young-inflorescence, respectively. Each sample has three replicates. So we overall have 54 samples.
