Camparision of gene expression among CL, INT, and CH flowers of C. kokaiensis in ATH1

ABSTRACT: The annual cleistogamous herb Cardamine kokaiensis is an endemic plant along the Kokai River in Japan. We examined the differences in gene expression patterns among cleistogamous (CL), intermediate (INT), and chasmogamous (CH) flower by cross-species microarray analysis using an Arabidopsis thaliana Affymetrix high-density oligonucleotide microarray (GeneChip ATH1). We then discuss the molecular basis of the evolution of cleistogamy. Our results help to clarify the molecular basis of the evolution of plant mating systems that depend on environmental conditions. Keywords: flower type comparison

Project description:Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai) is an important cucurbit crop grown worldwide. Watermelon fruit quality, fertility, and the seed setting rate are closely related to male flower development. In this study, the different developmental stages of flower buds of the watermelon variety Xinteda Zhengkang 9 were distinguished by cytological observation, and transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed subsequently. Acetocarmine staining of anthers was performed and the longitudinal and transverse diameters of the unopened male flower buds were measured. Cytological observations of anthers at different developmental stages showed that the anther grew from the tetrad to the mature stage, and the longitudinal and transverse diameters of the flower buds increased. The length of the male flower buds also changed significantly during development. Transcriptome sequencing analysis at four periods, the tetrad (A group), mononuclear (B group), dikaryophase (C group), and mature stages (D group). Total 16288 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected in the four stages, with the prolongation of developmental stages the number of DEGs increased gradually in the comparison groups, such as there was 2014, 3259, 4628, 1490, 3495 and 1132 DEGs were revealed in six comparison groups (A-VS-B, A-VS-C, A-VS-D, B-VS-C, B-VS-D, and C-VS-D), respectively. Gene ontology (GO) and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the DEGs were mainly enriched in cellular component and starch and sucrose metabolism, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and pentose sugar, etc. Finally, we totally screened 59 DEGs were in the six comparison groups, and most of them were up-regulated, interestingly, we find one pollen-specific protein (Cla001608) was significantly up-regulated (the value of log2Fold Change up to 17.32), which indicating that it may play important role in the development of male flowers. This work provides insight into the molecular basis of the developmental stages of male flowers in watermelon and may aid in dominant cross breeding.
