Project description:Three different maize lines were assayed for differential gene expression in mature leaf tissue. Leaves from the Oh43 maize line are more resistant to insect larvae damage than the original parents, lines Oh40B and W8. The goal of the project was to discover genes highly expressed in the Oh43 line that potentially contributes to insect resistance. RNA was extracted from a mature leaf (third visible leaf from the top of a 7 leaf plant) of each inbred (Oh43, Oh40B, and W8). cDNA from four biological replicates of each inbred was labeled (indirect method) twice with Cy5 and twice with Cy3. A total of six microarray slides were probed with 12 different labeled cDNAs.

Project description:Genome-wide transcriptomics experiment (RNA-seq) on proliferative tissue of eight maize inbred lines (A632, B73, B96, F7, H99, HP301, Mo17, W153R). These inbreds are used as parents in a funnel breeding design to generate an advanced recombinant maize population.

Project description:Heterosis (hybrid vigor) refers to the superior performance of hybrid progeny relative to their parents. Although widely exploited in agriculture, the mechanisms responsible for heterosis are not well understood. As a monoecious organism, a given maize plant can be used as both male and female parents of crosses. Regardless of the cross direction, the maize inbred lines B73 and Mo17 produce hybrids that substantially out-perform their parents. These reciprocal hybrids differ phenotypically from each other despite having identical nuclear genomes. Consistent with these phenotypic observations, 30-50% of genes were differentially expressed between these reciprocal hybrids. An eQTL experiment conducted to better understand the regulation of gene expression in inbred and hybrid lines detected ~4,000 eQTL associations. The majority of these eQTL act in trans to regulate expression of genes on other chromosomes. Surprisingly, many of the trans-eQTL, when heterozygous, differentially regulated transcript accumulation in a manner consistent with gene expression in the hybrid being regulated exclusively by the paternally transmitted allele. The design of the eQTL experiment controlled for cytoplasmic and maternal effects, suggesting that widespread paternal genomic imprinting contributes to the regulation of gene expression in maize hybrids.

Project description:Many existing centromeres may have originated as neocentromeres that activated de novo from non-centromeric regions. However, the evolutionary path from a neocentromere to a mature centromere has been elusive. Here we analyzed the centromeres of six chromosomes that were transferred from maize into oat as the result of an inter-species cross. Centromere size and location were assayed by chromatin immunoprecipitation for the histone variant CENH3, which is a defining feature of functional centromeres. Maize and oat are highly divergent and differ in genome size by four fold. Two isolates of maize chromosome proved to contain neocentromeres in the sense that they had moved from the original site, whereas the remaining seven centromeres (1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10) were retained in the same area in both species. In all cases the CENH3-binding domains were dramatically expanded to encompass a larger area in the oat background (~4 Mb) than the average centromere size in maize (~2 Mb). The expansion of maize centromeres appeared to be restricted by the transcription of genes located in regions flanking the original centromeres. The results from the current study provide evidence that (1) centromere size is regulated; (2) centromere sizes tend to be uniform within a species regardless of chromosome size or origin of the centromere; and (3) neocentromeres emerge and expand preferentially in gene poor regions. Our results, together with data from several animal species, suggest that centromere size expansion may be a key factor in the survival of neocentric chromosomes in natural populations.

Project description:The data set submitted here contains the raw SNP genotyping data obtained from the analysis of 24 biparental segregating maize (Zea mays L.) populations and their respective parents. The processed and filtered data were used to construct genetic linkage maps which we used in our study of variation of recombination rate in maize. In sexually reproducing organisms, meiotic crossovers ensure the proper segregation of chromosomes and contribute to genetic diversity by shuffling allelic combinations. Such genetic reassortment is exploited in breeding to combine favorable alleles, and in genetic research to identify genetic factors underlying traits of interest via linkage or association-based approaches. Crossover numbers and distributions along chromosomes vary between species, but little is known about their intraspecies variation. In our study, we report on the variation of recombination rates between 22 European maize inbred lines that belong to the Dent and Flint gene pools. We genotyped 23 doubled-haploid populations derived from crosses between these lines with a 50k-SNP array and constructed high-density genetic maps, showing good correspondence with the maize B73 genome sequence assembly. By aligning each genetic map to the B73 sequence, we obtained the recombination rates along chromosomes specific to each population. We identified significant differences in recombination rates at the genome-wide, chromosome, and intrachromosomal levels between populations, as well as significant variation for genome-wide recombination rates among maize lines. Crossover interference analysis using a two-pathway modeling framework revealed a negative association between recombination rate and interference strength. To our knowledge, the present work provides the most comprehensive study on intraspecific variation of recombination rates and crossover interference strength in eukaryotes. Differences found in recombination rates will allow for selection of high or low recombining lines in crossing programs. Our methodology should pave the way for precise identification of genes controlling recombination rates in maize and other organisms.

Genome Biology (submitted) We genotyped 2233 maize DH lines from 24 biparental populations, and the 23 parents of these populations using the Illumina MaizeSNP50 BeadChip. We created two large half-sib panels, one each for the Dent and the Flint germplasm. The Dent populations have the prefix CFD, the Flint populations have the prefix CFF. In each panel, a common central parent was crossed to diverse founder lines, and doubled haploids were generated from the respective F1 plants. For a detailed description of the material, see Bauer et al. (2013) Genome Biology (submitted). We submit here three datasets: 1) Dataset Parents comprises all 23 parental lines. 2) Dataset CFD comprises all 1005 DH lines from Dent crosses, 3) Dataset CFF comprises all 1262 DH lines from Flint crosses.

Project description:The concurrent epigenetic changes during this period of remarkable improvement in maize grain yield remain unknown. Here, we performed MethylC-seq and RNA-seq on 4 related inbred lines with known pedigree information. Analysis of epigenetic changes over the course of historical maize breeding is a valuable new avenue in the exploration for crop improvement. These data lead us to suggest that novel epihaplotypes, in addition to DNA variation, are a substrate of selection during breeding, and that epigenetic variation between parents may also contribute to heterosis in hybrids.

Project description:This research investigates the molecular mechanisms of trait deterioration of two experimental lines of entamopathogenic nematodes, an inbred line (L5M) and its original parental line (OHB), created by sub-culturing different experimental lines of the nematode-bacterium complex over 20 passages in insect hosts. These lines differed in their virulence, heat tolerance and fecundity . Transcriptional profiles of the two experimental lines were determined and select differentially expressed genes were validated by quantitative PCR.
