Project description:Fruit ripening in Citrus is not well understood at the molecular level. Knowledge of the regulatory mechanism of citrus fruit ripening at the post-transcriptional level in particular is lacking. Here, we comparatively analyzed the miRNAs and their targeted genes in a spontaneous late-ripening mutant, ?Fengwan? sweet orange (MT) (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck), and its wild-type counterpart ('Fengjie 72-1', WT). Using high-throughput sequencing of small RNAs and RNA degradome tags, we identified 107 known and 21 novel miRNAs, as well as 225 target genes. A total of 24 miRNAs (16 known miRNAs and 8 novel miRNAs) were shown to be differentially expressed between MT and WT. The expression pattern of several key miRNAs and their target genes during citrus fruit development and ripening stages was examined. Csi-miR156k, csi-miR159 and csi-miR166d suppressed specific transcription factors (GAMYBs, SPLs and ATHBs) that are supposed to be important regulators involved in citrus fruit development and ripening. In the present study, miRNA-mediated silencing of target genes was found under complicated and sensitive regulation in citrus fruit. The identification of miRNAs and their target genes provide new clues for future investigation of mechanisms that regulate citrus fruit ripening.

Project description:We used Illumina sequencing to investigate the global transcriptomic expression of hormonal pathway genes in ABA initiated strawberry receptacle ripening. Expression profiles of hormone synthetic and signaling genes further demonstrated the positive roles of ABA and GA, and the negative role of auxin in receptacle ripening. We also evaluated the transcript profiling of ethylene and JA pathway genes, and the results suggested that both ethylene and JA participated in receptacle ripening. Furthermore, two novel miRNAs and three conserved miRNAs were identified and validated to target genes in ABA and auxin pathways, respectively. Our analyses reveal the molecular mechanism of hormonal regulation during strawberry receptacle ripening. The data also provide an abundant of genetic information for molecular manipulation on non-climacteric fruit ripening. Sample 1: CK0 (Strawberry fruit two weeks after athesis treated with water, set as day 0); Sample 2: CK5 (fruit treated with water on day 5); Sample 3: CK8 (fruit treated with water on day 8); Sample 4: ABA5 (fruit treated with ABA on day 5); Sample 5: ABA8 (fruit treated with ABA on day 5); Sample 6: NDGA5 (fruit treated with water on day 5); Sample 7: NDGA8 (fruit treated with NDGA on day 8).

Project description:Kumquat (Fortunella classifolia Swingle) was thought as a close relative to citrus according to fruit morphology taxonomic, but kumquat fruit as well as its flowering characteristic are distinct from other citrus species, the trees usually blooms on the medium of June, obviously later than other citrus species, moreover many kumquat accessions could be blossom more than one times during one growth season, as this reason, the kumquat fruits could be consecutively ripen over several months, which made the study of globe genes expression profile for different development stage fruit easy. Kumquat is non-climacteric fruit, however the kumquat fruit ripening process, especially genes expression change in young and ripe kumquat fruits are less known, so studying on the global genes expression profiles of kumquat fruits in young and ripe stage are especially helpful to identify ripening-related genes and unravel the mechanism of ripening process.

Project description:Apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) is a model fruit species to study the metabolic changes occurring at the onset of ripening as well the physiological mechanism governed by the hormone ethylene. In this survey, to dissect the climacteric interplay in apple, a multidisciplinary approach was employed. To this end, a comprehensive analysis of gene expression together with the investigation of several physiological entities (texture, volatilome and polyphenolic compounds) was carried out throughout fruit development and ripening. The transcriptomic profiling was conducted with two microarray platforms, a custom array dedicated to fruit ripening pathways (iRIPE) and a whole genome array specifically enriched of ripening related genes for apple (WGAA). The transcriptomic and phenotypic changes following the application of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), an ethylene inhibitor, were also highlighted. The suppression of ethylene modified and delayed the ethylene receptors turnover, leading to important modifications in the overall fruit physiology. The integrative comparative network analysis showed both negative and positive correlations between ripening related transcripts and accumulation of specific metabolites or texture components. The ripening distortion caused by the inhibition of the ethylene perception besides affecting the ethylene and texture control, stimulated the de-repression of auxin related genes, transcription factors and photosynthethic genes. In the end, the comprehensive repertoire of results obtained here step forwards in the elucidation of the multi-layered control of ethylene, hypothesizing a possible hormonal cross-talk coupled with a transcriptional regulation. 48 samples analyzed; 8 stages have been identified over the fruit development and ripening (from flower to post harvest ripening) of apple fruit belonging to two apple cultivars (Golden Delicious and Granny Smith), ending with 16 samples (3 replacates for each sample)

Project description:The study of climacteric fruit ripening in tomato has been facilitated by the spontaneous ripening mutants Colorless non-ripening (Cnr), non-ripening (nor), and ripening inhibitor (rin). These mutants effect the genes encoding ripening transcription factors (TFs) SPL-CNR, NAC-NOR, and MADS-RIN causing pleiotropic defects to the ripening program. Here, we demonstrate that some ripening processes occur in the mutant fruit but at later stages of development compared to the wild type. The rin and nor mutant fruit exhibit similar quality traits to wildtype at later stages of ripening and senescence and delayed expression of ripening-associated genes. In addition, we propose that the Cnr mutant has a broader range of effects to fruit development than just fruit ripening. Cnr fruit show distinct differences from wild type in ripening phenotypic traits and gene expression profiles prior to the initiation of ripening. We provide new evidence that some mutants can produce more ethylene than basal levels and demonstrate ABA accumulation is also affected by the mutations. Studies have examined the relationship between the CNR, RIN, and NOR TFs based on protein-protein interactions and transcriptional regulation during fruit ripening. We describe the genetic interactions affecting specific fruit traits by using homozygous double mutants. Cnr predominantly influences the phenotype of the Cnr/nor and Cnr/rin double mutants but additional defects beyond either single mutation is evident in the transcriptome of the Cnr/nor double mutant. Our reevaluation of the Cnr, nor, and rin mutants provides new insights the utilization of the mutants in breeding and studying fruit development.

Project description:Postharvest fungal pathogens benefit from the increased host susceptibility that occurs during fruit ripening. In unripe fruit, pathogens often remain quiescent and unable to cause disease until ripening begins, emerging at this point into destructive necrotrophic lifestyles that quickly result in fruit decay. Here, we demonstrate that one such pathogen, Botrytis cinerea, actively induces ripening processes in order to facilitate infections and promote disease. Assessments of ripening progression revealed that B. cinerea accelerated external coloration, ethylene production, and softening in unripe fruit, while mRNA sequencing of inoculated unripe fruit confirmed the corresponding upregulation of host genes involved in ripening processes, such as ethylene biosynthesis and cell wall degradation. Furthermore, ELISA-based glycomics profiling of fruit cell wall polysaccharides revealed remarkable similarities in the cell wall polysaccharide changes caused by both infections of unripe fruit and ripening of healthy fruit, particularly in the increased accessibility of pectin polysaccharides. Virulence and additional ripening assessment experiments with B. cinerea knockout mutants showed that induction of ripening is dependent on the ability to infect the host and break down pectin. The B. cinerea double knockout Δbcpg1Δbcpg2 lacking two critical pectin degrading enzymes was found to be incapable of emerging from quiescence even long after the fruit had ripened at its own pace, suggesting that the failure to accelerate ripening severely inhibits fungal survival on unripe fruit. These findings demonstrate that active induction of ripening in unripe tomato fruit is an important infection strategy for B. cinerea.

Project description:Using sRNA-Seq to provide small RNA status in fruit ripening stages in sweet orange DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mark involved in many biological processes. The genome of the climacteric tomato fruit undergoes a global loss of DNA methylation due to active DNA demethylation during the ripening process. It is unclear whether the ripening of other fruits is also associated with global DNA demethylation. We characterized the single-base resolution DNA methylomes of sweet orange fruits. Compared to immature orange fruits, ripe orange fruits gained DNA methylation at over 30,000 genomic regions and lost DNA methylation at about 1,000 genomic regions, suggesting a global increase in DNA methylation during orange fruit ripening. This increase in DNA methylation was correlated with decreased expression of DNA demethylase genes. The application of a DNA methylation inhibitor interfered with ripening, indicating that the DNA hypermethylation is critical for the proper ripening of orange fruits. We found that ripening-associated DNA hypermethylation was associated with the repression of several hundred genes, such as photosynthesis genes, and with the activation of hundreds of genes including genes involved in ABA responses. Our results suggest important roles of DNA methylation in orange fruit ripening.

Project description:[original title] Understanding the complexity of fruit ripening by transcriptome analysis of rin mutant fruit and in silico analysis of promoters of differentially regulated genes A tomato MADS-box transcription factor, LeMADS-RIN, controls fruit ripening and mutation in this gene results in non-ripening phenotype of fruit. This mutation down-regulates certain ripening related ethylene responses, however, other ethylene responses are normal. A complete understanding of this mutation and its effect on fruit transcriptome during ripening is not clear. In this study, microarray analysis has been used to investigate the influence of rin mutation on fruit transcriptome at different stages of ripening. A total of 2,398 genes were found to be differentially expressed in wild type fruit pericarp, which on cluster analysis indicated a major shift in their expression profiles in rin mutant fruit. A total of 1,802 genes were found to be differentially expressed between wild type and rin mutant fruits and 17% of these genes encoded regulatory elements, suggesting that mutation in LeMADS-RIN results in disturbance in the regulatory transcriptional networks during ripening. Since LeMADS-RIN has been reported to bind to the CArG box of LeACS2 promoter, in-silico analysis of 51 putative promoter sequences of the genes, that showed ripening associated up-regulation in wild type but showed impairment in up-regulation in rin mutant fruit during ripening, were searched for presence of CArG box along with ethylene and auxin responsive elements. The study revealed that only 24 putative promoter sequences harbor LeMADS-RIN specific CArG box suggesting an alternative mode of regulation by LeMADS-RIN for CArG box deficient genes. Three chronological stages of tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) fruit ripening were compared between wild type and rin mutant

Project description:For exploring whether mRNA m6A modification participates in the regulation of tomato fruit ripening, we performed m6A-seq in three tomato fruit samples, including wild-type (WT) at 39 days post-anthesis (DPA) and 42 DPA, and Cnr mutant at 42 DPA, with three biological replicates. mRNA methylome analysis reveals that m6A methylation is a prevalent modification in mRNA of tomato fruit and the m6A sites are predominantly enriched in the stop codon and 3’ untranslated region, where m6A deposition has been proved to negatively correlate with gene expression. Hundreds of ripening-induced and ripening-repressed genes, including the SlDML2, were found to harbour changed m6A levels during fruit ripening or in the Cnr mutant, implicating the involvement of m6A modification in the regulation of fruit ripening.
