Project description:The applications of plant callus regeneration has been widely spreaded in agricultural improvement. By using immature sorghum embryos as explants, progress in successful genetic transformation has been made in sorghum. However, the underlying mechanism of callus differentiation is still largely unknown in sorghum. Here, we described three types of callus with different abilities of redifferentiation (Callus I-III), undergoing distinct induction from immature embryo in the variety of Hiro-1. In comparison to the non-embryonic Callus III who lost the ability of regeneration, the Callus I produced only some characterized adventitious roots and the embryonic Callus II is sufficient to regenerate whole plants. Genome-wide transcriptome profiles were performed to reveal the underlying mechenisms. The numbers of differentially expressed genes for the three types of callus vary from 5906 to 8029. Principal component analysis analysis demonstrated that gene expression patterns of Callus I and II were totally different from that of Callus III and differential leaves from Callus II, indicating that the compassions of Callus I and II provide clues for revealing regulations of regeneration in sorghum callus. Notably, KEGG and GO analysis showed that plant ribosome, lignin metabolic process, and metabolism of starch and sucrose are main processes that are associated with callus differentiation. Taken together, the results contributed the elucidation of molecular regulation in three types of callus with several regeneration abilities in sorghum.
Project description:Histone modification H3K27me3 profilings by the CUT&RUN method (Skene et al., 2017) were performed using embryonic callus and non-embryonic callus of Picea abies to identify genes related to somatic embryogenesis capacity.
Project description:This study aims to identify the differential expression of conserved and novel miRNAs and their target genes in M. oleifera leaf, callus and cold stress treated callus by high-throughput small RNA sequencing.
Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana plant expressing 35S:WIND1 shows callus-like morphology without hormone treatment. Transcriptomes of the callus-like cell expressing 35S:WIND1, callus of T87 cultured cell, 2,4-D-induced callus and control seedling plant were compared by Agilent microarray.
Project description:Purpose: Maize somatic embryogenesis is usually required to achieve genetic transformation and represents an important alternative in plant development. Although many embryogenesis-related genes have been studied in this model, the molecular mechanisms underlying cell dedifferentiation and further plant regeneration are not completely understood. Methods: Immature embryos smRNA profiles of 15-day-after-pollination (IE) and Embryogenic Callus from one (C1), four (C4), and ten months (C10) were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed with two methods: Bowtie 1.1.2 and ShortStack 3.4. qRT–PCR validation for selected miRNAs was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: We used high throughput sequencing to explore the sRNA populations during maize embryogenic callus induction and established subcultures from the Mexican cultivar VS-535, Tuxpeño landrace. We detected readjustments in 24 nt and 21-22 nt sRNA populations during the embryogenic callus establishment and maintenance. miRNAs related to stress response substantially increased upon callus proliferation establishment, correlating with a reduction in some of their target levels. On the other hand, while 24 nt-long hc-siRNAs derived from transposable retroelements transiently decreased in abundance during the embryogenic callus establishment, a population of 22 nt- hc-siRNAs increased. This was accompanied by reduction in transposon expression in the established callus subcultures. Conclusions: Stress- and development-related miRNAs are highly expressed upon maize EC callus induction and during maintenance subcultures, while miRNAs involved in hormone response only transiently increase during induction. The establishment of proliferative maize embryogenic callus is accompanied by important readjustments in the length of hc-siRNAs mapping to LTR retrotransposons, and their expression regulation.
