Project description:Heterosis has greatly improved the yield and quality of crops. However, previous studies often focused on improving the yield and quality of the shoot system, while research on the root system was neglected. We determined the root numbers of 12 F1 hybrids, all of which showed strong heterosis, indicating that tobacco F1 hybrids have general heterosis. To understand its molecular mechanism, we selected two hybrids with strong heterosis, GJ (G70 × Jiucaiping No.2) and KJ (K326 × Jiucaiping No.2), and their parents for transcriptome analysis. There were 84.22% and 90.25% of the differentially expressed genes were overdominantly expressed. The enrichment analysis of these overdominantly expressed genes showed that "Plant hormone signal transduction", "Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis", "MAPK signaling pathway - plant", and "Starch and sucrose metabolism" pathways were associated with root development. We focused on the analysis of the biosynthetic pathways of auxin(AUX), cytokinins(CTK), abscisic acid(ABA), ethylene(ET), and salicylic acid(SA), suggesting that overdominant expression of these hormone signaling pathway genes may enhance root development in hybrids.

Project description:Heterosis, a phenomenon where hybrids exhibit superior performance in various traits such as yield, quality, and resistance compared to their parents, has long been a focus of agricultural research. Although tobacco biomass significantly affects tobacco yield and economic profitability, the underlying reasons for the dominance of tobacco biomass hybrids and their formation remain unclear. To address this, we selected 5 tobacco varieties (lines) with large differences in tobacco biomass as the parents and formulated F1 hybrids to analyze the expression of tobacco biomass heterosis. Our findings demonstrate that tobacco leaf biomass exhibits a clear heterosis advantage. In particular, the hybrid Va116×GDH94 showed strong heterosis, with 76.69% of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) displaying Overdominant expression pattern. Notably, these Overdominant DEGs were significantly enriched in biological processes such as photosynthesis and respiration. During photosynthesis, transgressive up-regulation of Lhc improved light-harvesting efficiency, while the up-regulation of Psa and Psb in the photosystem enhanced the defense of chloroplasts against strong light. Additionally, the up-regulation of rbcl promoted the increase of photosynthetic products in the hybrids. During respiration, the down-regulation of MDH, ACO, and OGDH suppressed the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) and weakened respiratory consumption in the hybrids. Furthermore, we observed that the net photosynthetic rate and intercellular CO2 concentration of the hybrids were significantly higher than those of the parents. Taken together, our results suggest that the overdominant expression effect of DEGs plays a crucial role in the formation of tobacco biomass hybrid advantage. The overdominant expression effect of photosynthesis and respiration-related genes enhanced the photosynthetic capacity of the hybrids, reduced respiration consumption, and promoted the increase of tobacco biomass, thus demonstrating the obvious hybrid advantage.

Project description:Compared to understanding of biological shape and form, knowledge is sparse regarding what regulates growth and body size of a species. For example, the genetic and physiological causes of heterosis (hybrid vigor) have remained elusive for nearly a century. Here we investigate gene-expression patterns underlying growth heterosis in the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) in two partially inbred (f=0.375) and two hybrid larval populations produced by a reciprocal cross between the two inbred families. We cloned cDNA and generated 8.6 million sequence tags with massively parallel signature sequencing (MPSSâ). The sequences contain 23,277 distinct signatures that are expressed at statistically non-zero levels and show a highly positively skewed distribution with median and modal counts of 9.25 and 3 transcripts per million, respectively. Approximately 9100 nuclear transcripts are found in all four larval populations, in agreement with the number of genes expressed in sea urchin embryo. For half of the 23,277 signatures, expression level depends on genotype and is predominantly non-additive (hybrids deviate from the inbred average). Statistical contrasts suggest ~350 candidate heterosis genes that exhibit concordant non-additive expression in reciprocal hybrids. Patterns of gene expression, which include dominance for low expression and even underdominance of expression, are more complex than predicted from classical dominant or overdominant explanations of heterosis. Preliminary identification of ribosomal proteins among candidate genes supports the suggestion from previous studies that efficiency of protein metabolism plays a role in heterosis.

Project description:Heterosis is most frequently manifested by the substantially increased vigorous growth of hybrids compared with their parents. Investigating genomic variations in natural populations is essential to understand the initial molecular mechanisms underlying heterosis in plants. Here, we characterized the genomic architecture associated with biomass heterosis in 200 Arabidopsis hybrids. The genome-wide heterozygosity of hybrids makes a limited contribution to biomass heterosis, and no locus shows an obvious overdominance effect in hybrids. However, the accumulation of significant genetic loci identified in genome wide association studies (GWAS) in hybrids strongly correlates with better-parent heterosis (BPH). Candidate genes for biomass BPH fall into diverse biological functions, including cellular, metabolic, and developmental processes and stimulus-responsive pathways. Important heterosis candidates include WUSCHEL, ARGOS, and some genes that encode key factors involved in cell cycle regulation. Interestingly, transcriptomic analyses in representative Arabidopsis hybrid combinations reveal that heterosis candidate genes are functionally enriched in stimulus-responsive pathways, including responses to biotic and abiotic stimuli and immune responses. In addition, stimulus-responsive genes are repressed to low-parent levels in hybrids with high BPH, whereas middle-parent expression patterns are exhibited in hybrids with no BPH. Our study reveals a genomic architecture for understanding the molecular mechanisms of biomass heterosis in Arabidopsis, in which the accumulation of the superior alleles of genes involved in metabolic and cellular processes improve the development and growth of hybrids, whereas the overall repressed expression of stimulus responsive genes prioritizes growth over responding to environmental stimuli in hybrids under normal conditions.

Project description:We examined sRNA populations in the Arabidopsis ecotypes C24, Landsberg erecta (Ler), and their reciprocal hybrids which display strong intra-species heterosis. The parental ecotypes had significant differences in their sRNA epigenomes and associated methylation profiles. The hybrids differed greatly from the parents in their sRNA epigenomes including a marked reduction in 24nt sRNA associated with loci that differed in the frequency of 24nt sRNAs between the parents. Examination of sRNA populations from two-week old seedlings from Arabidopsis ecotypes C24, Ler, and their two reciprocal hybrids.

Project description:We have used genome-wide proteomic profiling to examine leaves of hybrids for molecular phenotypes. Profiles of the proteome of maize leaves revealed hybrid-specific differences in the chloroplast and mitochondria; levels of their energy transduction complexes and ribosomes were selectively elevated 10-20% above mid-parent levels. Each of these protein machines is comprised of nuclear-encoded and organelle-encoded subunits and we refer to them as digenomic protein complexes. Expression heterosis of the organelle ribosome proteins was quantitatively predictive of growth heterosis in a set of hybrids. Ethylene biosynthetic enzyme levels were reduced in hybrids and an ethylene biosynthesis mutant in an inbred background partially phenocopied the molecular differences seen in hybrids indicating that reduced ethylene levels may play a role in maize heterosis.

Project description:We provide evidence that heterosis for bacterial defense exists in hybrids crossed between some Arabidopsis accessions. Comparison of transcriptomes between hybrids exhibiting heterosis for disease resistance and their parents after inoculation with Pst DC3000 revealed that several key genes involved in salicylic acid (SA) biosynthesis were significantly up-regulated in hybrids. Consistently, in response to bacterial infection, more SA [both free SA and SA glycoside (SAG)] accumulated in hybrids compared with both parents. In addition, heterosis for bacterial defense was significantly compromised in hybrids of pad4 mutants in which the SA biosynthesis pathway was blocked. Moreover, we further revealed that increased histone H3 acetylation of the key genes involved in the SA biosynthesis pathway correlated with their up-regulated expression in hybrids. Around 30 inoculated leaves from Arabidopsis accessions Col-0 and Sei-0 as well as their reciprocal hybrids Fcs and Fsc, which showed best-parent heterosis for bacterial defense were pooled in each sample for mRNA Seq using HiSeq 2000 sequencing system (Illumina)
