RNA-Seq analysis of the spongy tissue disorder in Mangifera indica Cv. Alphonso.

ABSTRACT: Transcriptome analysis of the spongy tissue disorder in Mangifera indica Cv. Alphonso was carried out individually at two stages of ripening (Table green and mid ripe) in the healthy and the spongy mesocarp. Sequencing was carried out using Illumina technique. Total number of raw reads generated from each stage of tissue ranged from 5-7 Gb. Importantly, 30,582 transcripts were annotated and 1,218 enzyme commission number were assigned from oxidoreductase, transferase, hydrolase, ligase, lyase and isomerase classes. Various differential transcripts (p < 0.05) were highlighted within the healthy and the spongy tissue during ripening. These were involved in biological pathways related to metabolism of fatty acids, sugars, amino acids etc. The altered expression pattern of these transcripts indicated the change in primary as well as secondary metabolism of fruit under the spongy tissue condition. Interestingly, several stress related transcripts were differentially expressed in both the stages of the spongy mesocarp which has advocated the role of abiotic stress in the spongy tissue disorder.

Project description:Background Field observations and a few physiological studies pointed out that peach embryogenesis and fruit development are strictly related. In fact, attempts to stimulate parthenocarpic fruit development by means of external tools failed. Moreover, physiological disturbances during the early embryo development lead to seed abortion and fruitlet abscission. Later on, the interactions between seed and fruit development become less stringent. Genetic and molecular information about seed and fruit development in peach is limited. Results The isolation of 455 genes differentially expressed in seed and fruit was done by means of a comparative analysis of the transcription profiles carried out in peach (Prunus persica, cv Fantasia) seed and mesocarp throughout development by means of µPEACH 1.0, the first peach microarray. Genes differentially expressed in the two organs and specific of developmental stages had been identified, and some were validated as markers. Genes representative of the main functional categories are present, among which several transcription factors such as MADS-box, bZIP, Aux/IAA, AP2, WRKY, and HD. Some of these showed a similar transcription profile in the two organs, while others displayed an opposite pattern, being more expressed in embryo at early development and in mesocarp at ripening. Conclusions The µPEACH1.0, although developed from ripe fruit ESTs, resulted in being suitable for studying seed/mesocarp interactions. Among the differentially expressed genes, marker genes specific for organ and stage of development have been selected. Comparisons were carried out by pooling stage 1 and 2 (named early development, e) and stage 3 and 4 (named late development, l), separately for mesocarp (M) and seed (S) of cultivar Fantasia, and using a simple loop experimental design. RNA has been extracted from fruit harvest at above-mentioned stages of development. At least four hybridizations have been conducted for a total of four technical replicates (with dye-swap).

Project description:The ripening process of olive fruits is associated with chemical and/or enzymatic specific transformations making them particularly attractive to animals and humans. Usually, there is a progressive chromatic change characterized by a final red-brown color of both epidermis and mesocarp. This event has an exception in the ‘Leucocarpa’ cultivar, in which we observed the destabilization in the equilibrium between the metabolism on chlorophyll and that of the other pigments, particularly the anthocyanins, whose switch-off during maturation promotes the white coloration of the fruits. Recently, transcription profiling of ripening olives from ‘Leucocarpa’ and ‘Cassanese’ cultivars, through an Illumina RNA-seq approach, has provided some information about genes involved in fruit maturation as flavonid and anthocyanin transcripts. To study the possible gene differences involved in flavonoids and anthocyanins biosynthetic pathways during ripening possibly caused by small nuclear RNA (snRNA) in olive drupes, the snRNA libraries of fruit ripening from ‘Leucocarpa’ and ‘Cassanese’ were constructed with RNAs from drupes at 100 and 130 DAF (Days After Flowering) and sequenced by Illumina approach. Comparing sequence information, 130 conserved microRNAs (miRNA) in the Viridiplantae were detected belonging 14 miRNA families. For the remaining read not-matched with known miRNAs in the Viridiplantae, we combined secondary structure and minimum free energy to discover novel olive miRNAs. Based on these analyses, 492 miRNAs were considered as putative novel. To increase insights into the functions of known and putative novel miRNA in olive, putative target genes were computationally predicted by alignment with the olive drupe transcripts obtained from the same samples. A total of 32 and 186 transcripts were predicted as targets of 130 known and 492 putative novel miRNA, respectively. The identified target genes are involved in a broad range of biological processes. Interestingly, some genes involved in negative regulation of anthocyanin metabolic process, were identified as target of miR168 suggesting that this miRNA family is likely operative during color transition in olive.

Project description:Temperature and solar radiation influence Vitis vinifera L. berry ripening. Both environmental conditions fluctuate cyclically on a daily period basis and the strength of this fluctuation affects grape ripening too. Additionally, a molecular circadian clock regulates daily cyclic expression in a large proportion of the plant transcriptome modulating multiple developmental processes in diverse plant organs and developmental phases. Circadian cycling of fruit transcriptomes has not been characterized in detail despite their putative relevance in the final composition of the fruit. Thus, in this study, gene expression throughout 24 h periods in pre-ripe berries of Tempranillo and Verdejo grapevine cultivars was followed to determine whether different ripening transcriptional programs are activated during certain times of day in different grape tissues and genotypes. Results: Microarray analyses identified oscillatory transcriptional profiles following circadian variations in the photocycle and the thermocycle. A higher number of expression oscillating transcripts were detected in samples carrying exocarp tissue including biotic stress-responsive transcripts activated around dawn. Thermotolerance-like responses and regulation of circadian clock-related genes were observed in all studied samples. Indeed, homologs of core clock genes were identified in the grapevine genome and, among them, VvREVEILLE1 (VvRVE1), showed a consistent circadian expression rhythm in every grape berry tissue analysed. Light signalling components and terpenoid biosynthetic transcripts were specifically induced during the daytime in Verdejo, a cultivar bearing white-skinned and aromatic berries, whereas transcripts involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis were more prominently regulated in Tempranillo, a cultivar bearing black-skinned berries. Conclusions: The transcriptome of ripening fruits varies in response to daily environmental changes, which might partially be under the control of circadian clock components. Certain cultivar and berry tissue features could rely on specific circadian oscillatory expression profiles. These findings may help to a better understanding of the progress of berry ripening in short term time scales.
