Project description:Jatropha curcas, a tropical shrub, is an attractive biofuel crop, which produces seeds with a high content of oil and protein. Most J. curcas accessions contain a range of toxins and anti-nutritional compounds, which are unfavorable for human consumption and animal feed. With the goal of better understanding the development of its seeds and to improve Jatropha`s agronomic performance, a two-step approach was performed: 1) generation of the entire transcriptome of six different developmental stages of J. curcas seeds using 454-Roche sequencing of a cDNA library, 2) comparison of transcriptional expression levels in six different developmental stages of seeds using a custom Agilent 8x60K oligonucleotide gene expression microarray. A total of 793,875 high quality reads with an average length of 358 bp were generated and assembled into 19,841 unique full-length contigs, of which 13,705 could be annotated with GO terms. Microarray data analysis identified a total of 9,111 contigs which were differentially expressed between the six developmental stages (based on P-value of < 1e-8). The microarray-based differential expression results were validated for 192 putative genes using high-throughput quantitative real-time PCR. Results from Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analysis showed that the upstream biosynthesis pathways were relatively active among differentially expressed sequences (DESs) during seed development, such as starch and sucrose metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, glycerophospholipid metabolism, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism. Further, DESs related to hormone and seed development, flavonoid biosynthesis-related pathways were over-represented. A pairwise comparison was used to discover particular seed maturation dependent patterns of gene expression. Genes related to fatty acid biosynthesis were over represented in early stage, while flavonoid biosynthesis in the late stage. The data provide a useful resources and references for the seed transcriptome of J. curcas and other related species with oil producing seeds. The identified transcripts related to seed development provide a starting point for further investigation into the molecular mechanisms underlying this process.

Project description:MicroRNAs or miRNAs are endogenously encoded small RNAs that play a key role in diverse plant biological processes. Jatropha curcas L. has received much attention as a potential oilseed crop for the production of renewable oil. Here, a sRNA library from mature seeds and three mRNA libraries, from three different stages of seed development, were generated by deep sequencing in order to identify and characterize miRNAs and pre-miRNAs of J. curcas. Computation analysis allowed the identification of 180 conserved miRNAs and 41 precursors (pre-miRNAs), as well as 16 novel pre-miRNAs. The predicted miRNA target genes are involved in a broad range of physiological functions, including cellular structure, nuclear function, translation, transport, hormone synthesis, defense and also lipid metabolism. Some of pre-miRNA and miRNA targets have different abundance among the three stages of seed development. A search for sequences that produce siRNA was performed indicating that J. curcas siRNAs play a role in nuclear functions, transport, catalytic process and diseases resistance. This study presents the first large scale identification of J. curcas miRNAs and their targets in mature seeds based on deep sequencing and contributes to understand the function of these miRNAs. microRNA identification in a mature seed library of Jatropha curcas by deep sequencing (Illumina HiSeq2000).

Project description:Jatropha curcas, a multipurpose plant attracting much attention due to its high oil content and quality for biofuel, is recognized as a drought tolerant species. However, this drought tolerance is still poorly characterized. This study aims to contribute to uncover the molecular background of this tolerance, with the use of a combined approach of transcriptional profiling and morphophysiological characterization along a period of water withholding (49 days) followed by rewatering (7 days). Morphophysiological measurements evidenced that J. curcas plants presented different adaptations to withstand moderate and severe drought. Thus, RNA-Seq was performed for samples collected at moderate and severe stress followed by rewatering, for both roots and leaves. Transcriptomic analysis revealed organ-specific adaptations across all investigated conditions, except under severe stress, in which the drought response of J. curcas surpassed organ-specificity by dramatic transcriptomic reorganization. These changes in gene expression were clearly evidenced by the down-regulation of genes involved in growth and water uptake, and up-regulation of osmotic adjustments and cellular homeostasis related genes. However, organ-specific variations were also detected, such as strong up-regulation of chlorophyll and trehalose metabolism in leaves. Functional validation further corroborated the differentially expression of genes coding for enzymes involved in chlorophyll metabolism, which correlates with the metabolite content of this pathway. Two Jatropha curcas accessions were submitted to moderate and severe drought stress (water withholding) followed by recovery (3d re-watering), transcriptomic profiles were assessed by RNA-Seq.
