Project description:affy_cotton_2011_12 - affy_cotton_2011_12 - In this study we characterized the fiber transcriptomes of the two species, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense that were parental genotypes of a RIL mapping population used previously for phenotypic QTL and expression QTL mapping., We used 454 deep pyrosequencing to characterize cDNAs from developing fibers at two key developmental time-points; 10 and 22 days post anthesis. A unigene set was assembled and annotated, and differential digital gene expression was assessed from the different time-point and genotype representations of the reads within assembled contigs. As a complementary approach, we conducted microarray-based hybridization profiling using the cotton Affymetrix gene chip and labeled cDNAs from fibers at 11 dpa and for the same two genotypes and compared differentially expressed genes identified by the two platforms. The 454 unigenes were also mined for the presence of microsatellite repeats and SNPs that will be useful markers for mapping and marker-assisted selection in cotton improvement.-Total RNA was extracted from 11 dpa-old fibers from the two genotypes, Guazuncho 2 (Gossypium hirsutum) and VH8-4602 (G. barbadense), and included two replicates of each. RNA was checked for quality and quantity using an Agilent Bioanalyser 2100 (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA, http://www.home.agilent.com) following the manufacturer’s recommendations. The RNA was sent to the Australian Genome Research Facility Ltd. (http://www.agrf.org.au, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) for labeling and hybridization to the Affymetrix Genechip® Cotton Genome Array (21,854 genes) (Affymetrix, http://www.affymetrix.com/). -

Project description:How does environmental change drive phenotypic evolution? We addressed this question using Daphnia genotypes separated by ~1600-years of evolution in a Minnesota lake using methods in resurrection ecology (i.e., reviving dormant eggs from sediments) and found substantial genetic and physiological differentiation. These shifts are highly correlated with anthropogenic environmental change, specifically phosphorus (P)-driven eutrophication. Here, we explore transcriptomic changes that may underlie the observed shifts in P use physiology (see poster by Fricsh et al for a detailed explanation). We compared the transcriptomes of two ancient and two contemporary genotypes in ancient (i.e., low P; LP) and contemporary (i.e., high P; HP) conditions using an 11000-gene microarray. Ancient and contemporary genotypes differed in the number of differentially expressed genes in the HP (mean ± SD; 645 ± 112.95) and LP (1071 ± 211.63) treatments. These results indicate considerable transcriptomic variation between ancient and contemporary genotypes in both dietary treatments, with stressful (LP) conditions invoking differential expression of more genes (t= -2.51; P= 0.04). Moreover, ancient and contemporary genotypes exhibited markedly different transcriptomic responses to dietary treatments. Contemporary genotypes upregulated 84.5 ± 28.99 while ancient genotypes upregulated 413.5 ± 26.16 genes (t= 164.5; P= 0.003). Similarly, ancient (127.5 ± 101.1) and contemporary (316 ± 98.99) genotypes differed significantly in the number of genes downregulated between the HP and LP treatments (t= 125.66; P= 0.005). These results indicate substantial regulatory shifts may underlie the striking physiological differences observed. Further analyses of gene families that were differentially expressed (DE) between ancient and contemporary genotypes revealed several gene families already known to be important in mitigating stoichiometric imbalances driven by P availability. Agglomerative hierarchical cluster analyses of DE loci between ancient and contemporary genotypes indicating age-based clustering will be presented. Together, our theoretical framework based on elemental supply, and unique model system enabled a millennial-scale exploration of the environmental contribution to phenotypic evolution.
