Project description:Prunus persica (peach) trees carrying the ‘Pillar’ or ‘Broomy’ trait (br) have vertically oriented branches caused by loss of function mutations in a gene called TILLER ANGLE CONTROL 1 (TAC1). TAC1 encodes a protein in the IGT gene family that includes LAZY1 and DEEPER ROOTING 1 (DRO1), which regulat lateral branch and root orientations, respectively. Here, we found that some of the native TAC1 alleles in the hexaploid plum species Prunus domestica, which has a naturally more upright stature, contained a variable length trinucleotide repeat within the same exon 3 region previously found to be disrupted in pillar peach trees. RNAi silencing of TAC1 in plum resulted in trees with severely vertical branch orientations similar to those in pillar peaches but with an even narrower profile. In contrast, PpeTAC1 over-expression in plum led to trees with wider branch angles and more horizontal branch orientations. Pillar peach trees and transgenic plum lines exhibited pleiotropic phenotypes including differences in trunk and branch diameter, stem growth, and twisting branch phenotypes. Expression profiling of pillar peach trees revealed differential expression of numerous genes associated with biotic and abiotic stress, hormone responses, plastids, reactive oxygen, and secondary and cell wall metabolism. Collectively, the data provide important clues for understanding TAC1 function and show that alteration of TAC1 expression may have broad applicability to agricultural and ornamental tree industries.

Project description:We have sequenced a wild Prunus mume and constructed a reference sequence for this genome. In order to improve quality of gene models, RNA samples of five tissues (bud, leaf, root, stem, fruit) were extracted from the Prunus mume. To investigate tissue specific expression using the reference genome assembly and annotated genes, we extracted RNA samples of different tissues and conducted transcriptome sequencing and DEG analysis. Five RNA pools were created corresponding to different tissues of the Prunus mume.

Project description:Plant shoots typically grow upward in opposition to the pull of gravity. However, exceptions exist throughout the plant kingdom. Most conspicuous are trees with weeping or pendulous branches. While such trees have long been cultivated and appreciated for their ornamental value, the molecular basis behind the weeping habit is not known. Here, we characterized a weeping tree phenotype in Prunus persica (peach) and identified the underlying genetic mutation using a genomic sequencing approach. Weeping peach tree shoots exhibited a downward elliptical growth pattern and did not exhibit an upward bending in response to 90° reorientation. The causative allele was found to be an uncharacterized gene, Ppa013325, having a 1.8-Kb deletion spanning the 5′ end. This gene, dubbed WEEP, was predominantly expressed in phloem tissues and encodes a highly conserved 129-amino acid protein containing a sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain. Silencing WEEP in the related tree species Prunus domestica (plum) resulted in more outward, downward, and wandering shoot orientations compared to standard trees, supporting a role for WEEP in directing lateral shoot growth in trees. This previously unknown regulator of branch orientation, which may also be a regulator of gravity per- ception or response, provides insights into our understanding of how tree branches grow in opposition to gravity and could serve as a critical target for manipulating tree architecture for improved tree shape in agricultural and horticulture applications.

Project description:Stamen development is an important developmental process that directly affects the yield of Prunus sibirica. In this study, the male sterile flower buds and male fertile flower buds of Prunus sibirica were used as materials to performed RNA-Seq analyses to compare transcription differences. The results would provide a theoretical basis for further investigation of the formation mechanism of male sterile flower.

Project description:Trees with weeping shoot architectures are valued for their beauty and are a resource for understanding how plants regulate posture control. The Prunus persica (peach) weeping phenotype, which has elliptical downward arching branches, is caused by a homozygous mutation in the WEEP gene. Until now, little was known about the function of WEEP protein despite its high conservation throughout Plantae. Here, we present the results of anatomical, biochemical, biomechanical, physiological, and molecular experiments that provide insight into WEEP function. Our data suggest that weeping peach trees do not have defects in branch structure. Rather, transcriptomes from the adaxial (upper) and abaxial (lower) sides of standard and weeping branch shoot tips revealed flipped expression patterns for genes associated with early auxin response, tissue patterning, cell elongation, and tension wood development. This suggests that WEEP promotes polar auxin transport toward the lower side during shoot gravitropic response, leading to cell elongation and tension wood development. In addition, weeping peach trees exhibited steeper root systems and faster lateral root gravitropic response. This suggests that WEEP moderates root gravitropism and is essential to establishing the set-point angle of lateral roots from the gravity vector. Additionally, size-exclusion chromatography indicated that WEEP proteins self-oligomerize, like other proteins with sterile alpha motif domains. Collectively, our results from weeping peach provide new insight into polar auxin transport mechanisms associated with gravitropism and lateral shoot and root orientation.

Project description:Purpose: The State of Rio Grande do Sul is the largest producer of peaches from Brazil. However, it still has low values of productivity when compared to other States. One of the problems associated to it this is the occurrence of drainage soils problems, which can suffer flooding situations potentially hampering the development and productivity such culture. For studies to assist in the selection of flood tolerant genotypes, it is essential to understand the physiological and molecular changes of the plants in situations of oxygen deprivation. Using Illumina Hiseq2500 we performed transcriptome analysis of leaves from ‘Capdeboscq’ (Prunus persica) and ‘Julior’ (Prunus insititia x Prunus domestica) rootstocks under flooding for 48 hours. Methods: The mRNA of Prunus spp. plants cv. Capdeboscq e Julior was generated using deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hi-Seq 2500, for the following treatments:I) control: plants received irrigation daily until field capacity; and II) plants exposed to flood stress, maintaining a water level of approximately 3 cm above the ground. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript level using this method: Mapping using STAR and identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was performed with the edgeR (false discovery rates - FDRs of <0.05). RT–qPCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: Flooding stress causes important high transcriptional changes in the ‘Capdeboscq’ compared to 'Julior' and this is mainly due to their sensitivity/tolerance levels. ‘Capdeboscq’ had photosynthesis as the most affected physiological process at the molecular level, showing a large number of down-regulated enriched GOs, even though it activated cellular signaling pathways under flooding. 'Julior' was more efficient in defense responses, which include the activation of flavonoid biosynthesis pathways. Conclusions: The analysis of two Prunus spp. rootstocks contrasting to the level of tolerance / sensitivity provide new insights into the process of plant flood stress tolerance.

Project description:Pistil development is an important developmental process that directly affects the yield of Prunus sibirica. Through transcriptome sequencing analysis of clones with abortive pistil (No. 595) and normal pistil (No. 28) of Prunus sibirica, a total of 1950 significantly differentially expressed genes were obtained, among which 1000 genes were up-regulated and 950 genes were down-regulated. The results provide a theoretical basis for further investigation of the formation mechanism of pistil abortion.
