Whole-transcriptome analysis and construction of a leaf and petiole development-related ceRNA regulatory network in baby Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis)

ABSTRACT: Background: The growth and development of leaf and petiole have an important influence on the photosynthesis of plants. The research on molecular mechanism of leaf and petiole development is of great significance, whether it is to improve plant photosynthetic efficiency, cultivate varieties with high photosynthetic efficiency, or improve the yield of crops using leaves as food organs. In this study, we aimed to identify the mRNAs, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) related to leaf and petiole development in Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis). These data were then used to construct competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks, which can provide valuable information for better understanding the mechanism of leaf and petiole development. Results: In this study, the leaf and petiole of the baby Chinese cabbage inbred line ‘PHL’ were used as research materials for whole-transcriptome sequencing. A total of 10646 differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs, 303 DE lncRNAs, 7 DE circRNAs, and 195 DE miRNAs were identified between the leaf and petiole. Some transcription factors or proteins that play important roles in leaf and petiole development were identified, such as xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) protein, expansion protein, TCP15 transcription factor, bHLH transcription factor, LOB domain protein, cellulose synthase (CESA), MOR1-like protein, and plant hormone biosynthesis related genes. Additionally, we constructed a leaf and petiole development-related ceRNA regulatory network, and obtained 85 pairs of ceRNA relationships, including 71 DEmiRNA-DEmRNA, 12 DEmiRNA-DElncRNA and 2 DEmiRNA-DEcircRNA. Three LSH genes (BrLSH1, BrLSH2 and BrLSH3) with significant differential expression between leaf and petiole of baby Chinese cabbage were screened from transcriptome data for subcellular localization analysis and overexpression transgenic verification. The results showed that BrLSH1, BrLSH2 and BrLSH3 were nucleoprotein and BrLSH2 has an obvious inhibitory effect on the growth and development of Arabidopsis thaliana. Conclusions: Our results revealed the potential mRNAs and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) involved in leaf and petiole development, which laid a foundation for further research on the molecular mechanism of leaf and petiole development in Chinese cabbage.

Project description:The leaf of Chinese cabbage is the major place of photosynthesis, the mutation of leaf may directly affect the rate of plant growth and development and the formation of leafy head, and ultimately influence the yield and quality of Chinese cabbage. We identified a developmentally retarded mutant (drm) exhibiting stable inheritance, which was derived from Chinese cabbage DH line âFTâ using a combination of isolated microspore culture and radiation treatment (60Co Î³-rays). The drm exhibited slow growth and development at the seedling and heading stages, leading to the production of a tiny, leafy head, as well as chlorophyll-deficient leaves, especially in seedlings. Genetic analysis indicated that the phenotype of drm was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene. Compared with wild-type line âFTâ, the drmâs chlorophyll content was significantly reduced and its chloroplast structure was abnormal. Moreover, the photosynthetic efficiency and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were significantly decreased. The changes in leaf color, combined with these altered physiological characters may influence the growth and development of plant, ultimately resulting in the developmentally retarded phenotype of drm. To further understand the molecular regulatory mechanisms of phenotypic differences between âFTâ and drm, comparative transcriptome analysis were performed using RNA-Seq, a total of 338 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected between âFTâ and drm. According to GO and KEGG pathway analysis, a number of DEGs which involved in the chlorophyll degradation and photosynthesis were identified, such as chlorophyllase and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. In addition, the expression patterns of 12 DEGs, including three chlorophyll degradation- and photosynthesis-related genes and nine randomly selected genes, were confirmed by qRT-PCR. Numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms were also identified, providing a valuable resource for research and molecular marker-assistant breeding in Chinese cabbage. These results contribute to our understanding of the molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying growth and development and lay the foundation for future genetic and functional genomics studies in Chinese cabbage. The RNA from the third true leaves (day 15 to day 24 after the appearance of the third true leaves) of a developmentally retarded mutant (drm) and its wild type âFTâ in Chinese cabbage were sequenced by RNA-Seq, in triplicate.
