Overexpression of a B3 Transcription Factor CsFUS3 Promotes Somatic Embryogenesis of citrus through the Abscisic Acid and Gibberellin
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To future examine more globally genes that may be responsive to CsFUS3 accumulation, we used RNA-seq to compare the transcriptome profiles of the overexpression line with that of empty vector line at two representative time points during SE. After removing low-quality reads, about 13 million reads per sample were mapped against sweet orange reference genome. Using FDR≤0.001 and Abs [log(fold-change)] ≥1 as a selection threshold, a total of 329 genes were found differentially expressed in the CsFUS3 OE line after 6 weeks of induction, including 227 up-regulated and 102 down-regulated genes. Of the 1,895 DEGs at 12 weeks, 1,165 were up-regulated and 730 down-regulated in OE line, indicating a large transcriptional reprogramming in the transgenic callus at later stages of SE RNA-Seq transcriptome profiling revealed that a number SE-promotive TF genes were up-regulated in the overexpression line. In addition, the expression of pathway genes involved in biosynthesis, deactivation, and signaling of ABA and GA was altered.
