Project description:Objective: Germination of wheat maximizes phytochemical content and antioxidant activity while altering chemical composition, gluten content, and pasting properties. We previously reported marked changes in gene expression in soybean prior to germination before the radicle had grown from a seed. The present study investigated whether imibibition induces similar changes in wheat. Methods: Changes in gene expression profiles of wheat during short-term imbibition (0, 16, and 24 h) were evaluated by DNA microarray analysis. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis was carried out to categorize the function of genes with altered expression. The expression of genes encoding enzymes associated with starch breakdown was evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR, and changes in enzymatic activity were assessed with functional assays. Pasting properties of flour made from wheat seeds imbibed for different times were examined with a Rapid Visco Analyzer. The protein profile was determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and gluten content was quantified. Results: The GO analysis revealed that genes related to cellulose and cell wall synthesis were upregulated by imbibition for 16 h whereas those associated with polysaccharide catabolism and nucleosome assembly were upregulated in the subsequent 8 h. α-Amylase expression was highest after 24-h imbibition, with a corresponding increase in enzymatic activity. The pasting properties of wheat flour decreased when seeds were imbibed for over 16 h. Gluten was not degraded until 48 h imbibition. Conclusion: Short-term imbibition of wheat can produce a new type of starch with improved physical and functional properties that may be more appealing to consumers.

Project description:Wheat represents one of the most important cereals for mankind. However, since wheat proteins are also the causative agent of several adverse reactions, during the last decades, consumers have shown an increasing interest in the old wheat genotypes, which are generally perceived as more “natural” and healthier than the modern ones. Comparison of nutritional value for modern and old wheat genotypes is still controversial, and to evaluate the real impact of these foods on human health comparative experiments involving old and modern genotypes are desirable. The nutritional quality of grain is correlated with its proteomic composition that depends on the interplay between the genetic characteristics of the plant and external factors related to the environment. We report here the label-free shotgun quantitative comparison of the metabolic protein fractions of two old Sicilian landraces (Russello and Timilia) and the modern variety Simeto, from the 2010-11 and 2011-12 growing seasons. The overall results show that Timilia presents the major differences with respect to the other two genotypes investigated. These differences may be related to different defense mechanisms and some other peculiar properties of these genotypes. On the other hand, our results confirm previous results leading to the conclusion that with respect to a nutritional value evaluation, there is a substantial equivalence between old and modern wheat genotypes.

Project description:Here is reported the first study of transcriptome analyses using the Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform for three kinds of wheat (G represents Strong gluten wheat, Z represents middle gluten wheat,R represents weak gluten wheat). The variation of wheat varieties with different gluten content is mainly shown in the content of gluten, flour is divided into high gluten powder ( > 30%), medium gluten powder (26%-30%) and low gluten powder ( < 20%), according to the wet gluten content. In total, over 102.6 Gb clean reads were produced and 114, 621 unigenes were assembled; more than 59,085 unigenes had at least one significant match to an existing gene model. Differentially expressed gene analysis identified 2339 and 2600 unigenes which were expressed higher or lower among strong gluten, middle gluten and weak gluten wheat. After functional annotation and classification, three dominant pathways including protein isomerase, antioxidase activity and energy metabolism, and 410 unigenes related to gluten strength polymerization of wheat were discovered. In strong-gluten wheat, low molecular weight subunit content is higher than weak-gluten wheat, and the activity of cysteine synthase and isomerase is increased, which may promote the cross-linking of low molecular weight protein to high molecular weight protein. Meanwhile, POD enzyme strengthens gluten network and CAT enzyme affects gluten polymerization, along with higher ATPase activity, which will provides energy for protein polymerization reaction in comparison of strong-gluten wheat and weak-gluten wheat. The accuracy of these RNA-seq data was validated by qRT-PCR analysis. These data will extend our knowledge of quality characteristics of wheat and provide a theoretical foundation for molecular mechanism research of wheat.

Project description:Barley contains a much higher content of bioactive substances than wheat. In order to investigate the effect of genome interaction between barley and wheat on phytosterol content, we used a series of barley chromosome addition lines of common wheat. The wheat 38k-microarray was utilized for screening of genes with expression levels specifically increased by an additive effect or synergistic action between wheat and barley chromosomes. We determined the overall expression pattern of genes related to phytosterol biosynthesis in wheat and in each addition line. Together with determining the phytosterol levels of wheat, barley and each addition line, we assess the critical genes in the phytosterol pathway that can be expressed to promote phytosterol levels.

Project description:Background: Marketing products with added-value characteristics is a current trend in livestock production systems. Regarding meat, selection for intramuscular fat and muscular fatty acid composition is a way to improve the palatability and juiciness of meat while assuring a healthy fat content. This represents selecting animal with a different muscular metabolic profile with respect to the extended selection of lean animals. Results: The present study has analysed the muscular gene expression profiles of 68 commercial Duroc pigs belonging to two groups with extreme phenotypes for traits strongly related with lipid deposition and composition. This has allowed us to compare the physiological and metabolic implications of selecting for each of these extreme groups. Rather than upregulation of a single pathway, the main differences lied on the transcriptional levels of genes related with lipogenesis and lipolysis, revealing the existence of a cycle where triacylglycerols are continuously synthesized and degraded. Most strikingly, several genes which enhanced fatty acid β-oxidation and favoured insulin signalling and glucose uptake were upregulated in the fattest animals, indicating that the events leading to peripheral insulin resistance in humans with increased levels of intramuscular fat and obesity do not take place in these pigs. Moreover, neither was detected the well-characterised low-grade inflammatory state observed in overweighed humans. Conclusion: As a whole, our data suggest that selection for increasing intramuscular fat content in pigs would lead to a shift but not a disruption of the metabolic homeostasis of muscle cells. Future studies on the post-translational changes affecting protein activity or expression as well as information about protein location within the cell would be needed to fully understand how lipid deposition affects muscle physiology in pigs. 68 gluteus medius samples form 68 animals belonging to two groups of 34 animals each: HIGH group had higher carcass, plasma and muscle fat content; LOW group had lower carcass, plasma and muscle fat content

Project description:Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most valuable cereal crops for the human consumption. Its grain storage proteins greatly impact bread quality, though may cause food intolerances or allergies in susceptible individuals. Consequently, the investigation of a proteome polymorphism among wheat varieties is important to spot the genotypes, which would be promising donors for the breeding of hypoallergenic cereals. Herein, we discovered diversity of grain proteins in three Ukrainian wheat cultivars: ‘Sotnytsia’, ‘Panna’ (both modern selection) and ‘Ukrainka’ (old landrace). Firstly, proteins were isolated with a SDS-containing buffer that allowed extraction of various groups of storage proteins (glutenins, gliadins, globulins and albumins). Secondly, the proteome was profiled by the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, revealing 810 clearly-separated gel spots. Software-assisted analysis of gel images, showed 66 differentially abundant proteins. Using multi-enzymatic digestion, followed by the tandem mass spectrometry, we identified 49 differentially accumulated proteins. Parallel ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography profiling and direct mass spectrometry quantification complemented the results. With this approach we quantified 127 proteins, 12 being differentially abundant. Principal component analysis confirmed genotype as a major source of variation in both cases. Non-gluten fraction was the most diverse among investigated bread wheat cultivars. Information from public databases of clinically relevant plant proteins highlighted variable groups of wheat allergens/toxins. Data suggested that one of the modern cultivars contained less health affecting proteins in grain. Finally, we proposed set of genetic landmarks for the development of DNA marker system, which will enable fast and efficient assessment of medical safety of multiple wheat genotypes to facilitate breeding programs.

Project description:The close relationship between diet and health is generally recognized and the growing wellness and consciousness, especially in developed countries, have led to increasing interest for old wheat genotypes, based on perceived health benefits. Although nutritional comparison between old and modern wheat varieties is still controversial, it is generally accepted that old wheat genotypes remained unchanged over the last hundred years. By contrast, modern wheat genotypes are derived by modification of old wheats during the so-called “Green-Revolution” in the second half of the 20th century focusing on obtaining properties in terms of higher grain yield. The present work reports the first comprehensive proteomic profiling and qualitative comparison at the molecular level of metabolic and Chloroform-Methanol (CM)-like protein fractions extracted from mature kernels of two old Sicilian durum wheat landraces, Russello and Timilia Reste Bianche, and Simeto, an improved durum wheat variety widespread in Italy and other Mediterranean countries and chosen as representative of the most widely commercial cultivars. The results obtained reveal that metabolic and CM-like protein fractions of old and modern genotypes present remarkably high similarity with only minor differences. This leads to the conclusion that from a food and nutritional perspective there is a substantial equivalence of the protein composition of the old and modern cultivars.

Project description:Seed storage proteins (SSP) play a central role in providing carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and sulfur (S) resources during seed germination. Their content and composition are essential determinants shaping wheat end-use value. Molecular mechanisms underlying the developmental and nutritional regulation of SSP accumulation in wheat grain are as yet poorly understood. We were interested to elucidate the effects of N and S supplies on the gene expression of the entire system of wheat grain. For this purpose, we performed microarray analysis using a custom T.aestivum NimbleGen 40k microarray (ref. A-MEXP-1928) in wheat grains of 8 developmental stages and four N and S treatments.

Project description:In pigs, most of the lipogenic activity takes place in liver and the adipose tissue. Moreover, liver is responsible for the production and release of lipoproteins, which transports lipids from the liver to target tissues such as adipose and muscle. In the context of animal production, the amount and composition of lipoprotein have an implication in the accumulation of fat in adipose deposits but also in muscle in the form or intramuscular fat. These two events have consequences in the quality of the carcasses and meat. We have measured the level of liver gene expression in 104 commercial Duroc pigs belonging to two groups with extreme phenotypes for traits strongly related with lipid deposition and composition. This has allowed us to compare the physiological and metabolic implications of selecting for each of these extreme groups. This information has been complemented with genome-wide genotyping data in order to describe the implication of the liver transcriptome in the production traits which encompass the production and marketing of the products with consumer and industry-relevant added-value characteristics. 104 liver samples form pigs belonging to two groups of animals: HIGH group (n=53) had higher carcass, plasma and muscle fat content; LOW group (n=51) had lower carcass, plasma and muscle fat content
