Project description:Meiotic drivers subvert Mendelian expectations by manipulating reproductive development to bias their own transmission. Chromosomal drive typically functions in asymmetric female meiosis, while gene drive is normally postmeiotic and typically found in males. Cryptic drive is thought to be pervasive and can be unleashed following hybridization with a naïve genome, resulting in sterility and hybrid incompatibility. Using single molecule and single pollen genome sequencing, we describe an instance of gene drive in hybrids between maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) and teosinte mexicana (Zea mays ssp. mexicana), that depends on RNA interference (RNAi) in the male germline. Multiple hairpin-derived small RNA from mexicana target a novel domestication gene, Teosinte Drive Responder, that is required for pollen fertility and has undergone selection for immunity to RNAi. Introgression of mexicana into early cultivated maize is thought to have been critical to its geographical dispersal throughout the Americas. A survey of maize landraces and sympatric populations of teosinte mexicana reveals allelic bias at genes required for RNAi on at least 4 chromosomes that are also subject to gene drive in pollen from synthetic hybrids. Teosinte Pollen Drive likely played a major role in maize domestication, and offers an explanation for the widespread abundance of hairpin-encoded and other endogenous small RNA in the germlines of plants and animals.

Project description:In this work, we performed high throughput sequencing of small RNA libraries in maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) and teosinte (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis) to investigate the response mediated by miRNAs in these plants under control conditions, submergence, drought and alternated drought-submergence or submergence-drought stress. After Illumina sequencing of 8 small RNA libraries, we obtained from 16,139,354 to 46,522,229 raw reads across the libraries. Bioinformatic analysis identified 88 maize miRNAs and 76 miRNAs from other plants differentially expressed in maize and/or in teosinte in response to at least one of the treatments, and revealed that a larger set of miRNAs were regulated in maize than in teosinte in response to submergence and drought stress.

Project description:Papain-like cysteine proteases (PLCPs) play important roles in plant defense mechanisms. Previous work identified a set of five apoplastic PLCPs (CP1A, CP1B, CP2, XCP2 and CatB) which are crucial for the orchestration of SA-dependent defense signaling and vice versa in maize (Zea mays). One central question from these findings is which mechanism is triggered by apoplastic PLCPs to induce SA-dependent defenses. By a mass spectrometry approach we discovered a novel peptide (Zip1 = Zea mays immune signaling peptide) to be enriched in apoplastic fluid upon SA treatment. Zip1 induces PR-gene expression when applied to naїve maize leaves. Moreover, it activates apoplastic PLCPs similar as SA does, suggesting Zip1 to play an important role in SA-mediated defense signaling. In vitro studies using recombinant protein showed that CP1A and CP2, but not XCP2 and CatB, release Zip1 from its pro-peptide (PROZIP1) in vitro. Strikingly, metabolite analysis showed direct induction of SA de novo synthesis by Zip1 in maize leaves. In line with this, RNA sequencing revealed that Zip1-mediated changes in maize gene expression largely resemble SA-induced responses. Consequently, Zip1 increases maize susceptibility to the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. In summary, this study identifies the PLCP-released peptide signal Zip1, which triggers SA signaling in maize.

Project description:Most angiosperm nuclear DNA is repetitive and derived from silenced transposable elements (TEs). TE silencing requires substantial resources from the plant host, including the production of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). Thus, the interaction between TEs and siRNAs is a critical aspect of both the function and the evolution of plant genomes. Yet the co-evolutionary dynamics between these two entities remains poorly characterized. Here we studied the organization of TEs within the maize (Zea mays ssp mays) genome, documenting that TEs fall within three groups based on the class and copy numbers. These groups included DNA elements, low copy RNA elements and higher copy RNA elements. The three groups varied statistically in characteristics that included length, location, age, siRNA expression and 24:22 nucleotide (nt) siRNA targeting ratios. In addition, the low copy retroelements encompassed a set of TEs that had previously been shown to decrease expression within a 24 nt siRNA biogenesis mutant (mop1). To investigate the evolutionary dynamics of the three groups, we estimated their abundance in two landraces, one with a genome similar in size to that of the maize reference and the other with a 30% larger genome. For all three accessions, we assessed TE abundance as well as 22 nt and 24 nt siRNA content within leaves. The high copy number retroelements are under targeted similarly by siRNAs among accessions, appear to be born of a rapid bust of activity, and may be currently transpositionally dead or limited. In contrast, the lower copy number group of retrolements are targeted more dynamically and have had a long and ongoing history of transposition in the maize genome We compared TE abundances and siRNA profiles among B73 (maize inbred line) and two additional maize landraces, Palomero Toluqueño (PT) and Olote Colorado (OAXA) using HTS

Project description:Saha2011- Genome-scale metabolic network of
Zea mays (iRS1563)
This model is described in the article:
Zea mays iRS1563: a
comprehensive genome-scale metabolic reconstruction of maize
metabolism.
Saha R, Suthers PF, Maranas

Abstract:
The scope and breadth of genome-scale metabolic
reconstructions have continued to expand over the last decade.
Herein, we introduce a genome-scale model for a plant with
direct applications to food and bioenergy production (i.e.,
maize). Maize annotation is still underway, which introduces
significant challenges in the association of metabolic
functions to genes. The developed model is designed to meet
rigorous standards on gene-protein-reaction (GPR) associations,
elementally and charged balanced reactions and a biomass
reaction abstracting the relative contribution of all biomass
constituents. The metabolic network contains 1,563 genes and
1,825 metabolites involved in 1,985 reactions from primary and
secondary maize metabolism. For approximately 42% of the
reactions direct literature evidence for the participation of
the reaction in maize was found. As many as 445 reactions and
369 metabolites are unique to the maize model compared to the
AraGEM model for A. thaliana. 674 metabolites and 893 reactions
are present in Zea mays iRS1563 that are not accounted for in
maize C4GEM. All reactions are elementally and charged balanced
and localized into six different compartments (i.e., cytoplasm,
mitochondrion, plastid, peroxisome, vacuole and extracellular).
GPR associations are also established based on the functional
annotation information and homology prediction accounting for
monofunctional, multifunctional and multimeric proteins,
isozymes and protein complexes. We describe results from
performing flux balance analysis under different physiological
conditions, (i.e., photosynthesis, photorespiration and
respiration) of a C4 plant and also explore model predictions
against experimental observations for two naturally occurring
mutants (i.e., bm1 and bm3). The developed model corresponds to
the largest and more complete to-date effort at cataloguing
metabolism for a plant species.
