Chromatin accessibility landscapes revealed the subgenome-divergent regulation networks during wheat grain development [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: Development of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain mainly depends on the processes of starch synthesis and storage protein accumulation, which are critical for grain yield and quality. However, the regulatory network underlying the transcriptional and physiological changes of grain development is still not clear. Here, we combined ATAC-seq and RNA-seq to discover the chromatin accessibility and gene expression dynamics during these processes. We found that the chromatin accessibility changes are tightly associated with differential expressions and the proportion of distal ACRs were increased gradually during grain development. Specific transcription factor (TF) binding sites were enriched at different stages, and were diversified among the 3 subgenomes. We further predicted the potential interactions between key TFs and genes related with starch and storage protein biosynthesis and found different copies of some key TFs played diversified roles. Overall, our findings have provided numerous resources and illustrated the regulatory network during wheat grain development, which would shed lights on the improvement of wheat yields and qualities.

Project description:Wheat panicle development is a coordinated process of proliferation and differentiation with distinctive phase and architecture changes. However, the multiple genes involved networks controlling this process remain enigmatic. Here, we characterized and dissected common wheat panicles in the stages of vegetative stage before elongation, elongation, single ridge, double ridge, glume primodium differentiation and floret differentiation, respectively, followed by RNA-seq and bioinformatics analysis to study genome-wide mRNA transcriptome profiling in wheat early spike development. High gene expression correlations between any two stages (R2>0.97) and only 4000 Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) out of 49624 expressed transcripts in all stages indicated that wheat early panicle development is just controlled by an small proportion of important genes. Three subgenomes (A, B and D) contribute equally to this process. K-means clustering analysis revealed the dynamic expression patterns of DEGs and Hierarchical Clustering analysis demonstrated that single bridge stage and double bridge stage are most important for wheat panicle development. Interestingly, 306 transcription factors (TFs) with various functions from different families were identified and the spatial-temporal expression patterns of some were verified by quantitative PCR or in situ hybridization. At early stages, repressing flowering TFs combined with AP2/ERF TFs and cytokinin promote inflorescence meristem development and repress meristem differentiation. At single ridge and double ridge stages, highly expressed stress-response TFs balance the interaction between stress response and development. During reproductive stages, crosstalk between auxin and cytokinin coordinate the meristem proliferation and differentiation, and promoting flowering TFs with polarity establishment TFs and MADS-box TFs promote floral meristem generation and floral organ identity and development. This dataset provided an ideal resource for wheat panicle developmental research. Our study uncovered the regulatory network for coordinated wheat early spike development and would eventually contribute to the improvement of grain number and crop yield.
