Comparison of pear ‘La France’ and its bud mutant ‘Giant Laf’ (2010 expt, receptacle at 1 week before full bloom stage)

ABSTRACT: Bud mutation (bud sport) is mutation occurred in one branch in a tree and the mutant branch shows different phenotype from normal branches. Because bud mutation occurs in a part of plant body, genomic backgrounds of mutant branch and normal branches are the same, except some mutations. Therefore bud mutants are ideal material to identify key genes for important traits of crops. We studied ‘Giant Laf’, a bud mutant setting large fruit, which generated spontaneously in European pear ‘La France’ tree. In ‘Giant Laf’, increase of cell size and DNA reduplication occurred specifically in fruit flesh. The DNA reduplication in ‘Giant Laf’ was observed at 1 week before full bloom stage. This suggested that DNA reduplication observed in ‘Giant Laf’ fruit is not endoreduplication, but endomitosis or nuclear fusion. To identify genes expressed differentially between in ‘Giant Laf’ and in ‘La France’, microarray analysis was performed with RNA from receptacle (fruit flesh) at 1 week before full bloom stage. To isolate the receptacle, laser microdissection was applied. Genes encoding proteins localized in nucleus and cytoskeleton were up-regulated in ‘Giant Laf’. Among these genes, we found several genes which shared homology with previously described DNA reduplication related genes. These are candidates of responsible gene of ‘Giant Laf’ mutation.

Project description:To facilitate the functional annotation of the pepper genome, we generated 90.84 Gb of RNA-Seq data from 33 libraries representing all major tissue types and developmental stages of Zunla 1, as well as fruits from other accessions with significant phenotypic differences. Pepper ‘Zunla 1’ and other inbred lines were grown in a greenhouse as described in Table S1, with their different developmental stages Plants at full-bloom stage were harvested for roots, stems, and leaves as the same as the samples for phased small RNAs (see text S3.4.2 for details). Mature plants were harvested for unopened flower buds (buds) and fully open flowers (flowers). Additional flowers were allowed to self-pollinate and fruit was harvested at four pre-breaker stages (1-3cm, 3-4cm, 4-5cm fruit length, and mature green), the breaker stage (when the fruit was turning red) and three post-breaker stages (3, 5, and 7 days after breaker). These samples will respectively be referred to as Root, Stem, Leaf, Bud, Flower, F-Dev-1, F-Dev-2, F-Dev-3, F-Dev-4, F-Dev-5, F-Dev-6, F-Dev-7, F-Dev-8, and F-Dev-9. Similar roots, stems, leaves, immature fruit and red fruit were harvested from other inbred lines from domesticated Capsicum species. Meanwhile, chiltepin plants were grown under long days at controlled temperature and RNA was extracted from a mix of leaves from four stages (seedling, early blooming, full bloom, and fruit breaker phases), a mix of flowers from unopened flower buds (buds) and fully open flowers (flowers), and fruit at breaker and breaker plus five days respectively. All tissues were frozen in liquid nitrogen and then stored at -80℃. Total RNA was isolated from different samples by using the Trizol Reagent (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Strand-specific RNA-Seq library preparations were performed as previously described (39) with 12 independently bar-coded samples sequenced on one lane of an Illumina HiSeq2000 system. The 200 bp paired-end libraries were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2000 (90 bp PE).
