Project description:The hybrid seed production was performed using the male sterility line, which is an important way of heterosis utilization in Chinese cabbage. A stably inherited male sterile mutant msm was obtained from a Chinese cabbage DH line ‘FT’ using the isolated microspore culture combined with 60Co γ-rays mutagenesis. Compared to the wild type ‘FT’, the msm exhibited completely degenerated stamens and no pollen phenotype, and other characters had no significant difference except for stamen. The genetic analysis indicated that the msm mutant phenotype was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene. Cytological observation showed that the stamen abortion of msm began at the tetrad period, and tapetum cells were abnormally expanded and highly vacuolated, leading to microspore abortion. Comparative transcriptome analysis on the flower buds of ‘FT’ and msm using RNA-Seq technology revealed a total of 1,653 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Among which, a large number of genes associated with male sterility were found, including 64 pollen development and pollen tube growth-related genes, 94 pollen wall development-related genes, 11 phytohormone-related genes and 16 transcription factor-related genes, and the overwhelming majority of these genes were down-regulated in the msm vs. ‘FT’ comparison. Furthermore, KEGG pathway analysis indicated that a variety of carbohydrate metabolic and lipid metabolic pathways were significantly enriched, which may be related to pollen abortion. The expression patterns of 24 male sterility-related genes were analyzed using qRT-PCR. In addition, a total of 24,476 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 413,073 insertion-deletion events were specifically detected in msm. These results facilitate to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of male sterility in Chinese cabbage.

Project description:We conducted genome-wide transcriptome analysis using the inbred Chinese cabbage line, ‘4004’, which displayed early flowering in response to vernalization. A total of 1,677 differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) were identified with and without vernalization. Transcriptome analysis identified 223 homologs of Arabidopsis Ft genes in Chinese cabbage, and 50 of these genes responded to vernalization. RT-qPCR analysis of major Ft genes showed that the majority of flowering enhancers were up-regulated in response to vernalization, whereas most flowering repressors were down-regulated in response to vernalization. Among the major Ft genes, the expression of BrCOL1-2, BrFT1/2, BrSOC1/2/3, BrFLC1/2/3/5, and BrMAF was strongly affected by vernalization.

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 ‘FT’ using a combination of isolated microspore culture and radiation treatment (60Co γ-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 ‘FT’, the drm’s 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 ‘FT’ and drm, comparative transcriptome analysis were performed using RNA-Seq, a total of 338 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected between ‘FT’ 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.

Project description:The female sterility mutants are ideal materials for studying the pistil development in plants. We identified a female sterility mutant (fsm) exhibiting stable inheritance, which was derived from a Chinese cabbage DH line ‘FT’ using the combination of isolated microspore culture and ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis. Genetic analysis indicated that the phenotype of fsm was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene. The morphological observations revealed that the differences in the floral organs were significant between fsm and its wild type ‘FT’, the pistil of fsm was smaller and shorter, especially the ovary; and the degenerated ovule in the ovary may directly result in the female sterility. Comparative transcriptome analysis of ‘FT’ and fsm were performed using RNA-Seq. A total of 1,872 differentially expressed genes were identified between ‘FT’ and fsm. Of these, a number of genes involved in the ovule development were found, such as PRETTY FEW SEEDS 2 (PFS2) and temperature-induced lipocalin (TIL), and these genes were all up-regulated in the fsm vs. ‘FT’ comparison. Furthermore, GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses of DEGs suggested a variety of biological processes and metabolic pathways were significantly enriched during the pistil development. In addition, the expression patterns of eighteen DEGs were analyzed using qRT-PCR to confirm the accuracy of the RNA-seq data. A total of 31,272 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were specifically detected in fsm, which could be directly related to the female sterility phenotype. These results contribute to increase our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of pistil development in Chinese cabbage.

Project description:Pistil development is a complicated process in plants, and female sterile mutant is an ideal material for screening and cloning the pistil development-related genes. In our previous study, a female sterile mutant fsm (namely fsm1 here) was obtained from a Chinese cabbage DH line ‘FT’ using a combination of isolated microspore culture and ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis. BraA04g009730.3C was predicted as the candidate gene for mutant fsm1. BraA04g009730.3C encoded STERILE APETALA (SAP), a transcriptional regulator, which played a role in regulating floral organ development. In this study, another female sterile mutant (namely fsm2) was derived from a population combining EMS mutagenesis and germinating seeds of ‘FT’. The phenotype of mutant fsm2 was consistent with that of fsm1, exhibiting pistil abortion, and smaller floral organs. Genetic analysis indicated that the phenotype of mutant fsm2 was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene. Allelism testing showed that the mutant genes of fsm1 and fsm2 were allelic, named as Brfsm. A single-nucleotide mutation (G-to-A) in the first exon of BraA04g009730.3C caused a missense mutation from GAA (glutamic acid) to GGA (glycine) in mutant fsm2. Comparative transcriptome analysis on the pistils of wild-type ‘FT’ and mutant fsm1 revealed that a total of 3,855 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained, among which 29 genes related to ovule development and 16 genes related to organ size were identified. Based on the validation of qRT-PCR, we proposed the possible regulatory pathways whereby SAP may mediate pistil development in the fsm mutant. The mutation of BraA04g009730.3C in fsm plants was involved in the pistil abortion and smaller floral organ in Chinese cabbage. These results lay a solid foundation for elucidating the molecular mechanism of pistil development in Chinese cabbage.

Project description:The transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth involves many pathways. Vernalization is crucial to the formation of floral organs, the regulation of flowering time and plant breeding. The purpose of this study was to identify the mRNA, microRNA (miRNA), long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), and circular RNA (circRNA) related to vernalization of Chinese cabbage, and to construct a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network, so as to provide valuable information for exploring the molecular mechanism of vernalization of Chinese cabbage. Results: The results of whole-transcriptome sequencing showed that 2702 mRNAs, 151 lncRNAs, 16 circRNA, and 233 miRNAs were differentially expressed in vernalized (‘Ver’) and non-vernalized (‘Nor’) seeds of Chinese cabbage. Some transcription factors and regulatory proteins that play important roles in vernalization pathway have been identified, such as the transcription factors of WRKY, MYB, NAC, bHLH, and MADS-box, zinc finger protein CONSTANS like gene and B3 domain protein. We constructed vernalization-related ceRNA-miRNA-target gene network and obtained 199 pairs of ceRNA relationships, including 108 DEmiRNA-DEmRNA, 67 DEmiRNA-DElncRNA, and 12 DEmiRNA-DEcircRNA interactions in Chinese cabbage. Meanwhile, several important vernalization-related genes and their interacting lncRNAs, circRNAs, and miRNAs were identified, which were involved in the regulation of flowering time, floral organ formation, bolting and flowering. Conclusions: The candidate differentially expressed mRNA, miRNA, lncRNA and circRNA for vernalization of Chinese cabbage were identified by the whole-transcriptome sequencing, and the ceRNA network was constructed. This study laid a foundation for further study on the molecular mechanism of vernalization in Chinese cabbage.
