Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of small non-coding RNAs, which play important roles in plant growth, development and stress responses. Tea (Camellia sinensis) prepared from tea tree is the oldest and most popular nonalcoholic beverages in the world, and has large economic, medicinal and cultural significance. Nevertheless, there are a few studies on the miRNAs and their functions in Camellia sinensis. We sequenced 9 small RNA libraries and 9 RNA-Seq libraries from roots, leaves and flowers tissues. Through comprehensive computational analyses of 9 small RNA profiles, we identified 200 conserved miRNAs of which 138 have not been reported, and 56 novel miRNAs with 33 have not been reported. Nearly, two thousands genes have significantly different expression levels in tissues. In order to identify targets of miRNAs, we sequenced two degradome profiles from leaves and roots, respectively. Totally, more than 3,000 putative targets of conserved miRNAs were identified in both degradome profiles by using the SeqTar algorithm. These results clearly enhanced our understanding about small RNA guided gene regulations in Camellia sinensis.

Project description:Anthracnose disease is caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and is common in leaves of the tea plant Camellia sinensis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been known as key modulators of gene expression in defense responses; however, the role of miRNAs in tea plant during defensive responses to C. gloeosporioides remains unexplored. Six miRNA sequencing data sets and two degradome data sets were generated from C. gloeosporioides-inoculated and control tea leaves. A total of 485 conserved and 761 novel miRNAs were identified. Of those, 239 known and 369 novel miRNAs exhibited significantly differential expression under C. gloeosporioides stress. 1134 and 596 mRNAs were identified as targets of 389 and 299 novel and conserved miRNAs by degradome analysis, respectively. The expression levels of twelve miRNAs and their targets were validated by quantitative real-time PCR. The predicted targets of five interesting miRNAs were further validated through 5'RLM-RACE. Furthermore, Gene Ontology and metabolism pathway analysis revealed that most of the target genes were involved in translation, carbohydrate metabolism and signal transduction pathways. This study enriches the resources of defense-responsive miRNAs and their targets in C. sinensis, and thus, provides novel insights into the miRNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms underlying immunity responses to biotic stress in tea plant.

Project description:Cysteine S-nitrosylation is a reversible protein post-translational modification and critically regulates the activity, localization and stability of proteins. Tea (Camellia sinensis (L.)) is one of the most thoroughly studied evergreen crop due to its broad non-alcoholic beverage and huge economic impact in the world. However, to date, little is known about the S-nitrosylome in this plant. Here, we performed a global analysis of cysteine S-nitrosylation in tea leaves. In total, 228 cysteine S-nitrosylation sites were identified in 191 proteins, representing the first extensive data on the S-nitrosylome in tea plants. These S-nitrosylated proteins were located in multiple subcellular compartments, especially in the chloroplast and cytoplasm. The analysis of functional enrichment and PPI network revealed that the S-nitrosylated proteins were mainly involved in carbon metabolism, especially in Calvin cycle and TCA cycle. These results suggested that S-nitrosylated proteins in tea leaves might play critical regulatory roles in the carbon metabolism. Overall, this study not only globally analyzed the functional annotation of cysteine S-nitrosylation in tea leaves, but also preliminarily provided the valuable information for further investigating the functions of cysteine S-nitrosylation in tea plants.
