Project description:The Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) stands out as a plant with significant ecological and economic value, excellent nutritional quality and natural resistance to pests and diseases. Recent strides in high-throughput techniques have enabled the continuous accumulation of genomic data on chestnuts, presenting a promising future for genetic research and advancing traits in this species. To facilitate the accessibility and utility of this data, we have curated and validated a collection of genomic datasets for eight Castanea species, 213 RNA-Seq samples, and 348 resequencing samples. These datasets are publicly available on figshare, providing a robust resource for researchers studying Castanea genetics, functional genomics, and evolutionary biology. Additionally, the Castanea Genome Database (CGD, http://castaneadb.net) serves as a complementary platform, offering advanced data mining and analysis tools, including BLAST, Batch Query, GO/KEGG Enrichment Analysis, and Synteny Viewer, to enhance the usability of the curated datasets.

Project description:Phytophthora cinnamomi is one of the most invasive tree pathogens that devastates wild and cultivated forests. Due to its wide host range, knowledge of the infection process at the molecular level is lacking for most of its tree hosts. To expand the repertoire of studied Phytophthora-woody plant interactions and identify molecular mechanisms that can facilitate discovery of novel ways to control its spread and damaging effects, we focused on the interaction between P. cinnamomi and sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa), an economically important tree for the wood processing industry. By using a combination of proteomics, metabolomics, and targeted hormonal analysis, we mapped the effects of P. cinnamomi attack on stem tissues immediately bordering the infection site and away from it. P. cinnamomi led to a massive reprogramming of the chestnut proteome and accumulation of the stress-related hormones salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) indicating that stem inoculation can be used as an easily accessible model system to identify novel molecular players in P. cinnamomi pathogenicity

Project description:Gene flow between cultivated and wild gene pools is common in the contact zone between agricultural lands and natural habitats and can be used to study the development of adaptations and selection of novel varieties. This is likely the case in the northern Adriatic region, where centuries-old cultivated orchards of sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) are planted within the natural distribution area of the species. Thus, we investigated the population structure of several orchards of sweet chestnuts. Furthermore, the genetic background of three toponymous clonal varieties was explored. Six genomic simple sequence repeat (gSSR) and nine EST-derived SSR (EST-SSR) loci were utilized in this research, and both grafted and non-grafted individuals were included in this study. Five closely related clones were identified, which represent a singular, polyclonal marron variety, found in all three cultivation areas. Furthermore, many hybrids, a result of breeding between cultivated and wild chestnuts, have been found. Analyzed semi-wild orchards defined by a diverse genetic structure, represent a hotspot for further selection and could result in creation of locally adapted, high-yielding varieties.

Project description:Chinese Chestnut (Castanea mollissima BL.) has high nutritional and ecological value, so it is widely planted.However, the number of male flowers far exceeds the number of female flowers is an important factor limiting the yield of Chinese chestnut.A naturally occurring mutation in male catkin has been found on a Chinese chestnut tree in the mountains of Beijing, China.This mutant is shorter than the normal catkin.Studies have shown that this mutation can significantly reduce the number of male flowers, promote the differentiation of female flowers, and improve the yield of Chinese chestnut.In this research, we provided the RNA sequencing data of two groups of mutants and normal catkin.The comparative analyses of catkins transcriptomes presented here provides a valuable resource for discovery of genes and networks involved in the regulate the sex of the flower.
