Polyploidized Rice Improves Plant Height and Yield through Regulating Expression of Yield Related Genes.

ABSTRACT: Polyploidization is one of the effective ways to improve plant height and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.). However, the molecular mechanism of regulation is not yet fully understood. Here, we investigated the agronomic traits of diploid (Balilla-2x) and tetraploid (Balilla-4x) of japonica rice variety Balilla. Compared with Balilla-2x, Balilla-4x exhibited significantly increased plant height, spike length and yield per plant. RNA-seq analysis of the leaves of Balilla-2x and Balilla-4x was performed and the results showed that the expression levels of yield related genes (e.g., STH1, OsYUC9, and OsDEP1) were significantly upregulated in Balilla-4x rice plants, these genes are related to plant height and panicle development. These results indicated that polyploidization changed the expression of genes related to agronomic traits such as plant height and spike length, thereby increasing rice yield. This study provides a further basis for understanding the yield of rice after polyploidization, and can serve as a new theoretical reference for breeding high-yielding rice varieties achieved.

Project description:Polyploidization as the consequence of 2n gamete formation is a prominent mechanism in plant evolution. Studying its effects on the genome and its expression has both basic and applied interest. We crossed two diploid (2n=2x=16) M. sativa plants, a subsp. falcata seed parent and a coerulea x falcata pollen parent that produce a mixture of n and 2n eggs and pollen, respectively. Such cross produced full-sib diploid and tetraploid (2n=4x=32) progenies, the latter being the result of bilateral sexual polyploidization (BSP). These unique materials allowed us to investigate the effects of BSP, and separating the effect of intraspecific hybridization from those of polyploidization by comparing 2x with 4x full sib progeny plants. SSR marker segregation demonstrated tetrasomic inheritance for all chromosomes but one, demonstrating that these neotetraploids are true autotetraploids. BSP brought about increased biomass, earlier flowering, higher seed set and weight, larger leaves with larger cells. Microarray analyses with M. truncatula gene chips showed that several hundred genes, related to diverse metabolic functions, changed their expression level as a consequence of polyploidization. In addition, cytosine methylation increased in 2x but not in 4x hybrids. Our results indicate that sexual polyploidization induce significant transcriptional novelty, possibly mediated in part by DNA methylation, and phenotypic novelty that can be at the base of improved adaptation and reproductive success of tetraploid M. sativa with respect to its diploid progenitor. These polyploidy-induced changes may have promoted the adoption of tetraploid alfalfa in agriculture. Gene expression analysis of leaves at the vegetative stage of two Medicago sativa genotypes (PG-F9 and 12P) compared with three F1 diploid lines and three F1 tetraploid lines originating from crossing PG-F9 x 12P. Three biological replicates were taken for each sample, resulting in a total of twenty-four samples.

Project description:Four-times daily milking during the first 3 weeks of lactation elicits an increase in milk yield, which persists through late lactation even after twice-daily milking is imposed. We hypothesized that this milk yield response would be associated with changes in mammary proliferation, apoptosis, and gene expression, which would persist throughout lactation. Six multiparous cows were assigned to unilateral frequent milking (UFM; twice daily milking of the left udder half (2X), four-times daily milking of the right udder half (4X)) on days 1 to 21 of lactation, followed by 2X thereafter. Udder halves initially milked 4X produced more milk than those milked 2X during, and after UFM treatment, through 180 days in milk (DIM). To determine the mechanisms involved in the persistent milk yield response, we obtained mammary biopsies from both udder halves at 21, 23, and 40 DIM. Rates of [3H]-thymidine incorporation into DNA in vitro and mammary cell apoptosis were not affected by UFM or DIM. Using Affymetrix GeneChipM-BM-. Bovine Genome Arrays, we determined that the differential expression (4X vs. 2X) of 18 genes was significantly affected by DIM. Within the group of 18 differentially expressed genes, we identified a cluster of 15 genes with a similar temporal pattern of differential expression. Nine of the genes in the cluster remained differentially expressed at 40 DIM, indicating that they may be involved in the persistent milk yield response. Among the genes in the cluster were chitinase 3-like (CHI3L)-1, clusterin, early growth response (EGR)-1, and sex determining region Y-box (SOX)-4. These genes have been associated with mammary development, differentiation and remodeling; all of which may be functionally related to the increase in milk yield. We conclude that frequent milking during early lactation does not alter mammary growth but is associated with changes in mammary expression of 18 genes. Future experiments will determine the function of these genes in the mammary gland, and will clarify their role in the autocrine regulation of milk production and long-term alteration of mammary function. 36 samples from 6 cows; 3 timepoints
