Project description:Transcriptomic analysis of two pools of silique walls with extreme length identified a total of 3248 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which were enriched in several pathways (such as cell wall, cell division, and hormone metabolism etc.) that are associated with cell proliferation/expansion and silique development.

Project description:This study investigates the transcriptome and physiological responses of rapeseed to post-flowering temperature increases, providing valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying rapeseed tolerance to heat stress. Two rapeseed genotypes, Lumen and Solar, were assessed under control and heat stress conditions in field experiments conducted in Valdivia, Chile. Results showed that seed yield and seed number were negatively affected by heat stress, with genotype-specific responses. Lumen exhibited a 9.3% average seed yield reduction, while Solar showed a 28.7% reduction. RNA-seq analysis of siliques and seeds revealed tissue-specific responses to heat stress, with siliques being more sensitive to temperature stress. Hierarchical clustering analysis identified distinct gene clusters reflecting different aspects of heat stress adaptation in siliques, with a role for protein folding in maintaining silique development and seed quality under high temperature conditions. In seeds, three distinct patterns of heat-responsive gene expression were observed, with genes involved in protein folding and response to heat showing genotype-specific expression. Gene coexpression network analysis revealed major modules for rapeseed yield and quality, as well as the trade-off between seed number and seed weight. Overall, this study contributes to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying rapeseed tolerance to heat stress and can inform crop improvement strategies targeting yield optimization under changing environmental conditions.

Project description:Silique number is the most important component of yield in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). To dissect the mechanism underlying the natural variation of silique number in rapeseed germplasm, a series of studies were performed. A panel of 331 core lines was employed to genome-wide association study (GWAS), and 27 loci (including 20 novel loci) were identified. The silique number difference between the more- and fewer-silique lines can be attributed to the accumulative differences in flower number and silique setting rate. Each of them accounted for 75.2% and 24.8%, respectively. The silique number was highly associated with the total photosynthesis and biomass. Microscopic analysis showed that the difference between extremely more- and fewer-silique lines normally occurred at the amount of flower bud but not morphology. Transcriptome analysis of shoot apical meristem (SAM) suggested that most of enriched groups were associated with the auxin biosynthesis/metabolism, vegetative growth and nutrition/energy accumulation. By integrating GWAS and RNA-seq results, six promising candidate genes were identified, and some of them were related to biomass accumulation. In conclusion, the natural variation of silique number is largely affected by the biomass and nutrition accumulation, which essentially reflects the positive regulatory relationship between the source and sink. Our study provides a comprehensive and systematic explanation for natural variation of silique number in rapeseed, which provides a foundation for its improvement.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding small RNAs (sRNAs) that play crucial regulatory roles in various developmental processes. Silique length indirectly influences seed yield in rapeseed (Brassica napus); however, the molecular roles of miRNAs in silique length are largely unknown. Here, backcross progenies of rapeseed with long siliques (LS) and short siliques (SS) were used to elucidate this role. Four small RNA libraries from early developing siliques were sequenced, and a total of 814 non-redundant miRNA precursors were identified, representing 65 known miRNAs, and 394 novel miRNAs. Expression analyses revealed 12 known miRNAs and 5 novel miRNAs that were differentially expressed in LS and SS lines. Furthermore, though two degradome sequencing, we annotated 522 cleavage events. An analysis of correlated expression between differentially expressed miRNAs and their targets demonstrated that some transcription factors might repress cell proliferation or auxin signal transduction to control silique length, and that a Pi/Cu deficiency might also restrict silique development. More significantly, the overexpression of miR160 in rapeseed may repress auxin response factors and result in increased silique length, illustrating that silique length could be regulated via an auxin-response pathway. These results will serve as a foundation for future research in B. napus.

Project description:Oil rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is a typical winter biennial plant, with high cold tolerance during vegetative stage. In recent years, more and more early-maturing rapeseed varieties were planted across China. Unfortunately, the early-maturing rapeseed varieties with low cold tolerance have higher risk of freeze injury in cold winter and spring. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms for coping with different low-temperature stress conditions in rapeseed. In this study, we investigated 47,328 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of two early-maturing rapeseed varieties with different cold tolerance treated with cold shock at chilling (4°C) and freezing (−4°C) temperatures, as well as chilling and freezing stress following cold acclimation or control conditions. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis indicated that two conserved (the primary metabolism and plant hormone signal transduction) and two novel (plant-pathogen interaction pathway and circadian rhythms pathway) signaling pathways were significantly enriched with differentially-expressed transcripts. Our results provided a foundation for understanding the low-temperature stress response mechanisms of rapeseed. We also propose new ideas and candidate genes for genetic improvement of rapeseed tolerance to cold stresses.
