Project description:DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic mark in plants and many animals. How parental alleles interact in progeny to influence the epigenome is poorly understood. We analyzed the DNA methylomes of Arabidopsis Col and C24 ecotypes, and their hybrid progeny. Hy- brids displayed nonadditive DNA methylation levels, termed meth- ylation interactions, throughout the genome. Approximately 2,500 methylation interactions occurred at regions where parental DNA methylation levels are similar, whereas almost 1,000 were at differ- entially methylated regions in parents. Methylation interactions were characterized by an abundance of 24-nt small interfering RNAs. Furthermore, dysfunction of the RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway abolished methylation interactions but did not affect the increased biomass observed in hybrid progeny. Methylation interac- tions correlated with altered genetic variation within the genome, suggesting that they may play a role in genome evolution. Whole genome bisulfite sequencing and small RNA sequencing of the wild type and nrpd1nrpe1 double mutant background of parent Col ,C24, the hybrid ColXC24 and C24XCol to explore the role of the RdDM pathway in DNA methylation interactions.

Project description:Total genomic DNAs of J118, CdUM4b, the pseudotetraploid hybrid strain HBT1 and the progeny hybrid strain HBP1 were isolated. In an attempt to determine the number of copies of individual chromosomes, we used comparative genome hybridization (CGH) analysis using specially designed whole genome microarrays representing C. albicans and C. dubliniensis genomes. The arrays contained 60 mer probes that fell in three categories either C. albicans specific or C. dubliniensis specific or common to both. The specific probes were expected to work as internal controls when hybridized to parental genomic DNA alone. The arrays were individually hybridized to Cy3-labeled genomic DNA from either of C. albicans (J118), C. dubliniensis (CdUM4b) parents or the somatic psudotetraploid hybrid strain, HBT1 and the pseudodiploid progeny hybrid HBP1. After experimentally determining species-specific probes and common probes, the ratios of intensity on the HBT1 hybrid array to those of either of the parents were calculated. The copy number was determined for the entire chromosomes by comparing individual probe intensities from the pseudotetraploid to either diploid parent genome DNA intensities.

Project description:Combining dissimilar parents often leads to increased vigor in the hybrid offspring. “Heterosis” describes both this behavior and its underlying Mendelian and non-Mendelian interactions [1], although its molecular basis remains largely unknown. Recent comparisons of small RNA (sRNA) profiles from parents and their heterotic progeny identified correlations between interparental 24-nucleotide (24-nt) RNA variation and non-additive 24-nt RNA changes in the resulting hybrid [2,3]. 24-nt RNAs guide de novo cytosine methylation, and several proteins are required for their biogenesis, including a Snf2-like ATPase: required to maintain repression1 (RMR1) [4]. We found height variation between heterotic hybrids +/- RMR1 activity, implicating a role for RMR1 in heterosis. Based on the published correlations mentioned above [2,3], we hypothesized that RMR1-loss reduces parental sRNAs, altering their relative ratios and changing the sRNA profiles in the resulting hybrid from those of a standard hybrid (from +RMR1 parents). To probe this hypothesis, we profiled sRNAs from parents and hybrids +/- RMR1 function, limiting the parental diversity to only portions of chromosomes 6 and 9. Our analysis will address how RMR1 loss changes hybrid sRNAs in the presence and absence of underlying genetic variation and help to determine how this loss results in different phenotypic outcomes from heterotic crosses. 1.

Project description:We analysed the DNA methylation and transcription levels of transposable elements and genes in leaves of Prunus persica and Prunus dulcis and in their F1 hybrid using high-throughput sequencing tecnhologies. We can conclude that the merging of the two parental genomes in the P. persica x P. dulcis hybrid does not result in a “genomic shock” with significant changes in the DNA methylation or in the transcription.

Project description:Microarray analysis of gene expression patterns in immature ear, seedling, and embryo tissues from the maize inbred lines B73 and Mo17 identified numerous genes with variable expression. Some genes had detectable expression in only one of the two inbreds; most of these genes were detected in the genomic DNA of both inbreds, indicating that the expression differences are likely caused by differential regulation rather than by differences in gene content. Gene expression was also monitored in the reciprocal F1 hybrids B73xMo17 and Mo17xB73. The reciprocal F1 hybrid lines did not display parental effects on gene expression levels. Approximately 80% of the differentially expressed genes displayed additive expression patterns in the hybrids relative to the inbred parents. The approximately 20% of genes that display nonadditive expression patterns tend to be expressed at levels within the parental range, with minimal evidence for novel expression levels greater than the high parent or less than the low parent. Analysis of allele-specific expression patterns in the hybrid suggested that intraspecific variation in gene expression levels is largely attributable to cis-regulatory variation in maize. Collectively, our data suggest that allelic cis-regulatory variation between B73 and Mo17 dictates maintenance of inbred allelic expression levels in the F1 hybrid, resulting in additive expression patterns.

Hale et al (2007) PLoS Biology We used an interchange chromosome (T6-9 043-1) introgressed into B73 (~95% B73) to create a local region of genetic diversity when crossed as a female parent to 100% B73 individual. Small RNAs from immature cobs were sequenced from both of these parents and their resulting hybrid (2 samples each). Additionally, a similar cross where the T6-9 containing female parent lacked RMR1 activity (rmr1-1 / rmr1-1) was used to generate a counterpart hybrid whose small RNAs were also profiled (2 samples) from immature cobs. Finally, small RNAs from 2 immature cobs of an unrelated rmr1 heterozygote (again highly introgressed into B73) were sequenced as well.

Project description:We used profiling of Arabidopsis small RNA populations present in the mature ovules to define the potential genome targets of small RNAs during reproductive development. Defining the contributions and interactions of paternal and maternal genomes during embryo development is critical to understand the fundamental processes involved in hybrid vigor, hybrid sterility, and reproductive isolation. To determine the parental contributions and their regulation during Arabidopsis embryogenesis we combined deep-sequencing-based RNA profiling and genetic analyses. At the 2-4 cell stage there is a strong, genome-wide dominance of maternal transcripts, although transcripts are contributed by both parental genomes. At the globular stage the relative paternal contribution is higher, largely due to a gradual activation of the paternal genome. We identified two antagonistic maternal pathways that control these parental contributions. Paternal alleles are initially down-regulated by the chromatin siRNA pathway, linked to DNA and histone methylation, while transcriptional activation requires maternal activity of the histone chaperone complex CAF1. Our results define maternal epigenetic pathways controlling the parental contributions in plant embryos, which are distinct from those regulating genomic imprinting.
