Chromosome‐level genome of Camellia lanceoleosa provides a valuable resource for understanding genome evolution and self‐incompatibility

ABSTRACT:

The section Oleifera (Theaceae) has attracted attention for the high levels of unsaturated fatty acids found in its seeds. Here, we report the chromosome-scale genome of the sect. Oleifera using diploid wild Camellia lanceoleosa with a final size of 3.00 Gb and an N50 scaffold size of 186.43 Mb. Repetitive sequences accounted for 80.63% and were distributed unevenly across the genome. Camellia lanceoleosa underwent a whole-genome duplication event approximately 65 million years ago (65 Mya), prior to the divergence of C. lanceoleosa and Camellia sinensis (approx. 6-7 Mya). Syntenic comparisons of these two species elucidated the genomic rearrangement, appearing to be driven in part by the activity of transposable elements. The expanded and positively selected genes in C. lanceoleosa were significantly enriched in oil biosynthesis, and the expansion of homomeric acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) genes and the seed-biased expression of genes encoding heteromeric ACCase, diacylglycerol acyltransferase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and stearoyl-ACP desaturase could be of primary importance for the high oil and oleic acid content found in C. lanceoleosa. Theanine and catechins were present in the leaves of C. lanceoleosa. However, caffeine can not be dectected in the leaves but was abundant in the seeds and roots. The functional and transcriptional divergence of genes encoding SAM-dependent N-methyltransferases may be associated with caffeine accumulation and distribution. Gene expression profiles, structural composition and chromosomal location suggest that the late-acting self-incompatibility of C. lanceoleosa is likely to have favoured a novel mechanism co-occurring with gametophytic self-incompatibility. This study provides valuable resources for quantitative and qualitative improvements and genome assembly of polyploid plants in sect. Oleifera.

Project description:Purpose: This study aimed to identify differentially expressed genes including alternative splice variants in embryonic ventricles following in utero caffeine treatment. Methods: Pregnant CD-1 mice were injected with 20 mg/kg of caffeine or vehicle control daily from embryonic day (E) 6.5-9.5. On E10.5, total RNA was isolated from embryonic ventricles and used for transcriptomic RNA sequencing with Illumina HiSeq 2000 (1X75bp). RNA-seq reads were aligned to the mouse genome (build mm10) with the Tophat for Illumina tool in the PSU galaxy platform. Counting and annotation of RNA-seq reads as well as alternative splicing analysis were performed with Partek Genomics Suite version 6.11. Differential expression of gene and transcript reads between treatments was analyzed with R package EdgeR. Genes/transcripts with false discovery rate (FDR) less than 0.05 and absolute fold change greater than 1.5 were considered as significant. Differentially expressed genes were defined as genes with altered expression at either gene or transcript level. Unique differentially expressed genes were identified by combining the results from annotations with the RefSeq Transcripts (2013-05-10) or Ensembl Transcripts release 71 databases. Results: Differential expression analysis revealed that 59 genes and 451 transcripts were significantly up-regulated, and 65 genes and 398 transcripts were down-regulated by prenatal caffeine treatment (fold change >1.5 or <-1.5; p-value with FDR<0.05). In total, 900 unique genes were identified to have altered expression either at the gene or transcription level. Further analysis with Partek GS revealed that 183 genes had abnormal alternative splicing at the exon level after in utero caffeine treatment. Conclusions: In utero caffeine exposure caused gene expression changes in embryonic ventricles and these changes may lead to long-term effects on cardiac morphology and function. mRNA profiles in E10.5 heart ventricles treated with caffeine were generated by deep sequencing (n=2 for vehicle, n=3 for caffeine), using Illumina HiSeq 2000.
