Two draft sequences of Gossypium hirsutum, the most widely cultivated cotton species, provide insights into genome structure, rearrangement, gene evolution and fiber biology. hirsutum has proven difficult to sequence owing its complex allotetraploid (AtDt) genome. Here we produce a using 181-fold paired-end assisted by fivefold BAC-to-BAC high-resolution genetic map. In our assembly 88.5% 2,173-Mb scaffolds, which cover 89.6%∼96.7% AtDt genome, are anchored oriented 26 pseudochromosomes....
Yuxian Zhu and colleagues report the draft genome of a diploid cotton Gossypium raimondii. This species is wild South American cotton, whose progenitor thought to have been contributor D subgenome allotetraploid commercial hirsutum barbadense, which account for ~95% worldwide crop. We sequenced assembled G. raimondii, putative economically important fiber-producing barbadense. Over 73% sequences were anchored on 13 raimondii chromosomes. The contains 40,976 protein-coding genes, with 92.2%...
Yu-Xian Zhu, Jun Wang, Shuxun Yu and colleagues report sequencing assembly of the genome cultivated cotton, Gossypium arboreum. Comparison with raimondii sequence provides insights into evolution speciation, identifies two shared whole-genome duplication events occurring before speciation event around 2–13 million years ago. The complex allotetraploid nature cotton (AADD; 2n = 52) makes genetic, genomic functional analyses extremely challenging. Here we sequenced assembled arboreum (AA; 26)...
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key phytohormone that controls plant growth and stress responses. It sensed by the pyrabactin resistance 1 (PYR1)/PYR1-like (PYL)/regulatory components of ABA receptor (RCAR) family proteins. Here, we utilized CRISPR/Cas9 technology to edit group I (PYL1-PYL6 PYL12) II (PYL7-PYL11 PYL13) PYL genes in rice. Characterization combinatorial mutants suggested have more important roles stomatal movement, seed dormancy, regulation than those II. Among all single pyl...
Chenopodium quinoa is a halophytic pseudocereal crop that being cultivated in an ever-growing number of countries. Because highly resistant to multiple abiotic stresses and its seed has better nutritional value than any other major cereals, it regarded as future ensure global food security. We generated high-quality genome draft using inbred line the cultivar Real. The experienced one recent duplication about 4.3 million years ago, likely reflecting fusion two parents, addition γ...
Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is the most water-efficient cereal and one of earliest domesticated plants. Here we report its high-quality, chromosome-scale genome assembly using a combination short-read sequencing, single-molecule real-time Hi-C, high-density genetic map. Phylogenetic analyses reveal two sets homologous chromosomes that may have merged ~5.6 million years ago, both which exhibit strong synteny with other grass species. contains 55,930 protein-coding genes 339...
Plant mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) exhibit extensive structural variation yet extremely low nucleotide mutation rates, phenomena that remain only partially understood. The genus Gossypium, a globally important source of cotton, offers wealth long-read sequencing resources to explore mitogenome and plastome dynamics accompanying the evolutionary divergence its approximately 50 diploid allopolyploid species. Here, we assembled 19 mitogenomes from Gossypium species, representing all...
Mature pollen is very sensitive to cold stress in chilling-sensitive plants. Plant WRKY DNA-binding transcription factors are key regulators plant responses abiotic and biotic stresses. Previous studies have suggested that WRKY34 (At4g26440) gene might be involved viability, although the mechanism unclear. In this study, it shown treatment increased expression wild type, promoter-GUS analysis revealed pollen-specific. Enhanced green fluorescent protein-tagged was localized nuclei. Pollen...
The unique morphology of grass stomata enables rapid responses to environmental changes. Deciphering the basis for these is critical improving food security. We have developed a planta platform single-nucleus RNA-sequencing by combined fluorescence-activated nuclei flow sorting, and used it identify cell types in mature developing from 33,098 maize epidermis-enriched tissues. Guard cells (GCs) subsidiary (SCs) displayed differential expression genes, besides those encoding transporters,...
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in various biological regulatory processes yeast, mammals, and plants. However, no systematic identification of lncRNAs has been reported Gossypium arboreum. In this study, the strand-specific RNA sequencing (ssRNA-seq) samples from cotton fibers leaves was performed, involved fiber initiation elongation were systematically identified analyzed. We 5,996 lncRNAs, which 3,510 2,486 can be classified as long intergenic (lincRNAs) natural...
Pectin methylesterase (PME, EC 3.1.1.11) is a hydrolytic enzyme that utilizes pectin as substrates, and plays significant role in regulating reconstruction thereby plant growth. one of the important components cell wall, which forms main structural material cotton fiber. In this research, genome information was used to identify PMEs. We identified 80 (GaPME01-GaPME80) PME genes from diploid G. arboreum (A genome), 78 (GrPME01-GrPME78) raimondii (D 135 (GhPME001-GhPME135) tetraploid hirsutum...
Summary In Arabidopsis, the plasma membrane transporter PUT3 is important to maintain cellular homeostasis of polyamines and plays a role in stabilizing mRNAs some heat‐inducible genes. The Na + /H SOS1 protein kinase SOS2 are two salt‐tolerance determinants crucial for maintaining intracellular K homeostasis. Here, we report that genetically physically interacts with SOS2, these interactions modulate transport activity. Overexpression ( PUT3OE ) results hypersensitivity transgenic plants...
Abstract Background Wall-associated kinases (WAK), one of the receptor-like (RLK), function directly in connection and communication between plant cell wall cytoplasm. WAK genes are highly conserved have been identified plants, such as rice, but there is little research on gene family cotton. Results In present study, we 29 GhWAK Gossypium hirsutum . Phylogenetic analysis showed that cotton proteins can be divided into five clades. The results synteny Ka/Ks mainly originated from whole...
Sucrose synthase (Sus) is a key enzyme in plant sucrose metabolism. In cotton, Sus (EC 2.4.1.13) the main that degrades imported into cotton fibers from phloem of seed coat. This study demonstrated genomes Gossypium arboreum L., G. raimondii Ulbr., and hirsutum contained 8, 15 genes, respectively. Their structural organizations, phylogenetic relationships, expression profiles were characterized. Comparisons genomic coding sequences identified multiple introns, number positions which highly...
Determining how function evolves following gene duplication is necessary for understanding expansion. Transcription factors (TFs) are a class of proteins that regulate expression by binding to specific cis-acting elements in the promoters target genes, subsequently activating or repressing their transcription. In present study, we systematically examined functional diversification NAC transcription factor (NAC-TFs) family analyzing chromosomal location, structure, phylogeny, and pattern...
Summary The leaf is a crucial organ evolved with remarkable morphological diversity to maximize plant photosynthesis. shape key trait that affects photosynthesis, flowering rates, disease resistance and yield. Although many genes regulating development have been identified in the past years, precise regulatory architecture underlying generation of diverse shapes remains be elucidated. We used cotton as reference model probe genetic framework divergent forms. Comparative transcriptome...
Tetraploid cotton contains two sets of homologous chromosomes, the At- and Dt-subgenomes. Consequently, many markers in were mapped to multiple positions during linkage genetic map construction, posing a challenge anchoring groups mapping economically-important genes particular chromosomes. Chromosome-specific could solve this problem. Recently, genomes diploid species sequenced whose progenitors putative contributors Dt-subgenomes tetraploid cotton. These sequences provide powerful tool for...
RB-GRP (RNA-binding Glycine-rich protein gene) family belongs to the fourth subfamily of GRP (Glycine-rich superfamily, which plays a great role in plant growth and development, as well abiotic stresses response, while it has not been identified cotton. Here, we 37 32 RB-GRPs from two cotton species (Gossypium arboreum Gossypium raimondii, respectively), were divided into four distinct subfamilies based on presence additional motifs arrangement glycine repeats. The distribution was nonrandom...
