Project description:Hybrid weakness is an important post zygotic reproductive barrier between natural populations. Expression of hybrid weakness can lead to significant decrease in yield and even lethality and is thus an undesirable agronomic trait. We observed that F1 hybrids produced from crossing between any two of three Japonica varieties(CH7, CH8, CH9) exhibit hybrid weakness phenotype. Exploring the molecular mechanism underlying hybrid weakness in important crops like rice is worthy. We used microarrays to obtain a global picture of gene expression changes that occurred in the F1 hybrids with characteristic hybrid weakness phenotype.

Project description:Reproductive barriers perform a vital role during speciation1. Hybrid weakness, the poor development of hybrids compared to their parents, hinders gene exchange between different species at the postzygotic stage2,3. The molecular and evolutionary mechanisms of hybrid weakness are poorly understood2. Here, we report that two incompatible dominant loci (Hwi1 and Hwi2) involving three genes determine the high temperature-dependent expression of hybrid weakness in interspecific hybrids of rice. Hwi1 comprises two indispensable wild rice (Oryza rufipogon)-specific leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase (LRR-RLK) genes, 25L1 and 25L2, for inducing hybrid weakness, and the genes possibly undergo balancing selection. Hwi2, a rare allele that is predominantly distributed in indica rice (Oryza sativa), encodes a secreted putative subtilisin-like protease. Functional analysis indicated that pyramiding of Hwi1 and Hwi2 activates the autoimmune response in the basal nodes of hybrids, interrupting root formation and then impairing shoot growth, likely due to immune signal is transmitted from the basal nodes to the above-ground parts. Considering the nature of RLK activity of Hwi1 and the protease activity of Hwi2, we propose that a certain endogenous signaling molecule produced by Hwi2 is perceived by Hwi1 to activate autoimmunity through ligand-receptor signal transduction. These findings bring new insights into our understanding of reproductive isolation and may benefit rice breeding to maximally utilize invaluable genes from wild rice. We conducted microarray analysis to unravel the global changes in gene expression of a pair of NILs (nearly isogenic lines). Plants were cultivated at constant 20°C for 20 days and then shifted to constant 30°C conditions. The basal nodes of NIL(Hwi1) and NIL(hwi1) were harvested immediately before the temperature shift (set as the 0 point) or at 3, 7 or 15 days after the shift. Three biological replicates (each comprising basal nodes from 15–20 individuals) were used for each time point.

Project description:Heterosis is most frequently manifested as the superior performance of a hybrid than either parent, especially under stress conditions. Nitric oxide (NO) is a well-known gaseous signaling molecule that acts as a functional component during plant growth, development, and defense responses. In this study, the Brassica napus L. hybrid (F1, NJ4375 × MB1942) showed significant heterosis under salt stress, during both the germination and post-germination periods. These were in parallel with the changes in redox and ion homeostasis. The stimulation of endogenous NO was more pronounced in hybrid plants, compared to parental lines, which might be mediated by nitrate reductase. Proteomic and biochemical analysis further revealed that protein abundance related to several metabolic processes, including the chlorophyll biosynthesis, the proline metabolism, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolism pathway, were greatly suppressed by salt stress in the two parental lines, respect to those in hybrid. Above responses in hybrid plants were intensified by a NO-releasing compound, but abolished by a NO scavenger, both of which were matched with the changes in chlorophyll and proline contents. Taken together, we proposed that heterosis derived from F1 hybridization in salt stress tolerance might be mediated by NO-dependent activation of defense responses and metabolic processes.

Project description:Hybrid breeding is of economic importance in agriculture for increasing yield, yet the basis of the heterosis is not well understood. In Arabidopsis, crosses between different accessions produce hybrids with varied levels of heterosis relative to parental phenotypes in biomass. In all hybrids the advantages of the F1 hybrid is lost in the F2 for both phenotypic uniformity and yield gain. Success in generating F5/F6 Hybrid Mimic from the cross between C24 and Landsberg erecta (Ler) demonstrated that the large plant phenotype of the F1 hybrids can be stabilized. Hybrid Mimics selection was applied to Wassilewskija (Ws)/Ler and Col/Ler hybrids. The two hybrids showing different levels of heterosis. At 30 DAS, the Col/Ler hybrid generated Hybrid Mimics with rosette diameter and fresh weight equivalent to the F1 hybrid; Ws/Ler Hybrid Mimics outperformed the F1 hybrids in both the rosette size and biomass. Transcriptome analysis revealed up-regulation of cell wall biosynthesis and expansion genes could be a common pathway in increased size in Arabidopsis hybrids and Hybrid Mimics. Intercross of two independent Hybrid Mimic lines can further increase the biomass gain. Our results encourage the use of Hybrid Mimics for breeding and for investigating the molecular basis of heterosis.

Project description:Heterosis is an important biological phenomenon; however, the role of small RNA (sRNA) in heterosis of hybrid rice remains poorly described. Here, we performed sRNA profiling of F1 super-hybrid rice LYP9 and its parents using high-throughput sequencing technology, and identified 355 distinct mature microRNAs and trans-acting small interfering RNAs, 69 of which were differentially expressed sRNAs (DES) between the hybrid and the mid-parental value. Among these, 34 DES were predicted to target 176 transcripts, of which 112 encoded 94 transcription factors. Further analysis showed that 67.6% of DES expression levels were negatively correlated with their target mRNAs either in flag leaves or panicles. The target genes of DES were significantly enriched in some important biological processes, including the auxin signalling pathway, in which existed a regulatory network mediated by DES and their targets, closely associated with plant growth and development. Overall, 20.8% of DES and their target genes were significantly enriched in quantitative trait loci of small intervals related to important rice agronomic traits including growth vigour, grain yield, and plant architecture, suggesting that the interaction between sRNAs and their targets contributes to the heterotic phenotypes of hybrid rice. Our findings revealed that sRNAs might play important roles in hybrid vigour of super-hybrid rice by regulating their target genes, especially in controlling the auxin signalling pathway. The above finding provides a novel insight into the molecular mechanism of heterosis. We constructed six sRNA sequencing libraries and six mRNA sequencing libraries of flag leaves and panicles of the super-hybrid rice Liangyou-pei9 (LYP9) combination at the grain-filling stage. The above hybrid rice combination includes F1 hybrid LYP9 and its parental lines including the male-sterile line Peiai64s (PA64s) and the restorer line 93-11.

Project description:Heterosis occurs where F1 offspring display superior characteristics to the parents. Heterosis is usually considered to result from crosses of genetically distinct (e.g. homozygous inbred) parents producing heterozygous F1 offspring. Most mechanistic models for heterosis require genetically heterozygous F1 hybrid offspring harbouring allelic diversity. Epigenetic or dosage models for heterosis could allow for heterosis effects in F1 offspring that display no allelic diversity with their parents. Reciprocal inter-ploidy crosses between diploid (2x) and tetraploid (4x) lines in the same genetic background generates genetically identical F1 triploids (3x). Such reciprocal F1 triploids differ according to whether the additional chromosome set is either maternally (maternal excess) or paternally inherited (paternal excess). Biomass accumulation and abiotic stress tolerance between the parental (2x and 4x) and reciprocal F1 triploid (3x) offspring of Arabidopsis thaliana accession C24 reveals a strong parental genome-dosage induced heterosis in the paternal-excess triploid F1 plants. In these F1 triploids, the circadian clock related genes CCA1 and TOC1, and the growth factors PIF4 and PIF5, display different expression levels compared to the non-heterotic maternal excess F1 triploid siblings. Whole transcriptome profiling reveals a paternal genome dosage effect on gene expression levels with strong enrichment for dysregulated abiotic stress-related genes in the paternal excess F1 triploids. This study demonstrates that heterosis can be triggered without allelic diversity in F1 triploid plants. Heterosis without heterozygosity in plants can be induced via an epigenetic “chromosome imprinting” like parental genome dosage effect requiring paternal transmission of an additional chromosome set

Project description:Heterosis is a fundamental biological phenomenon characterized by the superior performance of a hybrid over its parents in many traits, but the underlying molecular basis remains elusive. To investigate whether DNA methylation plays a role in heterosis, we compared at single base-pair resolution the DNA methylomes of Arabidopsis Ler and C24 parental lines and their reciprocal F1 hybrids that exhibited heterosis for many quantitative traits. Both hybrids displayed increased DNA methylation across their entire genomes, especially in transposable elements. Interestingly, we found that increased methylation of the hybrid genomes predominantly occurred in regions that were differentially methylated in the two parents and covered by small RNAs (sRNAs), implying that the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway may direct DNA methylation in hybrids. In addition, we found that 77 genes sensitive to remodeling of DNA methylation were transcriptionally repressed in both reciprocal hybrids, including genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis and two circadian oscillator genes, CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED1 and LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL. Moreover, growth vigor of F1 hybrids was compromised by treatment with an agent that demethylates DNA, and by abolishing production of functional small RNAs due to mutations in Arabidopsis RNA methyltransferase HUA ENHANCER1. Together, our data suggest that genome-wide remodeling of DNA methylation directed by the RdDM pathway may play a role in hybrid vigor.
