The rich genetic diversity in Oryza sativa and rufipogon serves as the main sources rice breeding. Large-scale resequencing has been undertaken to discover allelic variants rice, but much of information for variation is often lost by direct mapping short sequence reads onto O. japonica Nipponbare reference genome. Here we constructed a pan-genome dataset sativa-O. species complex through deep sequencing de novo assembly 66 divergent accessions. Intergenomic comparisons identified 23 million...
Bin Han and colleagues report the draft genome sequence of grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idellus, a major commercially farmed species freshwater fish. Analyses identify lineage-specific duplications that may have contributed to adaptation this vegetarian diet. The is an important fish, accounting for ∼16% global aquaculture, has Here we 0.9-Gb gynogenetic female adult 1.07-Gb wild male adult. Genome annotation identified 27,263 protein-coding gene models in genome. A total 114 scaffolds...
Various stable circular RNAs (circRNAs) are newly identified to be the abundance of noncoding in Archaea, Caenorhabditis elegans , mice, and humans through high-throughput deep sequencing coupled with analysis massive transcriptional data. CircRNAs play important roles miRNA function controlling by acting as competing endogenous or positive regulators on their parent coding genes. However, little is known regarding circRNAs plants. Here, we report 2354 rice that were computational ssRNA-seq...
Abstract Oilseed crops are used to produce vegetable oil. Sesame ( Sesamum indicum ), an oilseed crop grown worldwide, has high oil content and a small diploid genome, but the genetic basis of production quality is unclear. Here we sequence 705 diverse sesame varieties construct haplotype map genome de novo assemble two representative identify variations. We investigate 56 agronomic traits in four environments 549 associated loci. Examination major loci identifies 46 candidate causative...
Grain size is one of the key determinants grain yield. Although a number genes that control in rice (Oryza sativa) have been identified, overall regulatory networks behind this process remain poorly understood. Here, we report map-based cloning and functional characterization quantitative trait locus GL6, which encodes plant-specific plant AT-rich sequence- zinc-binding transcription factor regulates length spikelet number. GL6 positively controls by promoting cell proliferation young...
Abstract Longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.), an important subtropical fruit in the family Sapindaceae, is grown more than 10 countries. edible drupe and a source of traditional medicine with polyphenol-rich traits. Tree size, alternate bearing, witches' broom disease still pose serious problems. To gain insights into genomic basis traits, draft genome sequence was assembled. The (about 471.88 Mb) Chinese cultivar, “Honghezi,” estimated to contain 31 007 genes 261.88 Mb repetitive sequences. No...
Abstract Non-random gene organization in eukaryotes plays a significant role genome evolution. Here, we investigate the origin of biosynthetic cluster for production defence compounds oat—the avenacin cluster. We elucidate structure and organisation this 12-gene cluster, characterise last two missing pathway steps, reconstitute entire tobacco by transient expression. show that has formed de novo since divergence oats subtelomeric region lacks homology with other grasses, order is...
Abstract Exploitation of crop heterosis is crucial for increasing global agriculture production. However, the quantitative genomic analysis was lacking, and there currently no effective prediction tool to optimize cross-combinations. Here 2,839 rice hybrid cultivars 9,839 segregation individuals were resequenced phenotyped. Our findings demonstrated that indica – hybrid-improving breeding a process broadened genetic resources, pyramided breeding-favorable alleles through combinatorial...
MicroRNA160 plays a critical role in plant development by negatively regulating the auxin response factors ARF10, -16, and -17. However, ways which miR160 expression is regulated at transcriptional level, how interacts with its targets during embryo development, remain unknown. Here, we studied regulatory relationships among endogenous target mimics (eTMs), targets, their involvement hormone signaling somatic embryogenesis (SE) Dimocarpus longan. We identified family members isolated...
Abstract Heading date (flowering time), which greatly influences regional and seasonal adaptability in rice (Oryza sativa), is regulated by many genes different photoperiod pathways. Here, we characterized a heading gene, Early 5 (Ehd5), using modified bulked segregant analysis method. The ehd5 mutant showed late flowering under both short-day long-day conditions, as well reduced yield, compared to the wild type. Ehd5, encodes WD40 domain-containing protein, induced light follows circadian...
Wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum) is the progenitor of cultivated vulgare) and provides a rich source genetic variations for improvement. Currently, genome sequences wild its differences with remain unclear. In this study, we report high-quality draft assembly accession (AWCS276; henceforth named as WB1), which consists 4.28 Gb 36 395 high-confidence protein-coding genes. BUSCO analysis revealed that included full lengths 95.3% 956 single-copy plant genes, illustrating gene-containing regions...
Summary Heterosis, or hybrid vigour, is a predominant phenomenon in plant genetics, serving as the basis of crop breeding, but causative loci and genes underlying heterosis remain unclear many crops. Here, we present large‐scale genetic analysis using 5360 offsprings from three elite maize hybrids, which identifies 628 19 yield‐related traits with relatively high mapping resolutions. Heterotic pattern investigations show that numerous loci, mostly complete–incomplete dominance (the major...
Miscanthus, a rhizomatous perennial plant, has great potential for bioenergy production its high biomass and stress tolerance. We report chromosome-scale assembly of Miscanthus lutarioriparius genome by combining Oxford Nanopore sequencing Hi-C technologies. The 2.07-Gb covers 96.64% the genome, with contig N50 1.71 Mb. centromere telomere sequences are assembled all 19 chromosomes chromosome 10, respectively. Allotetraploid origin M. is confirmed using centromeric satellite repeats....
Plants produce an array of natural products with important ecological functions. These compounds are often decorated oligosaccharide groups that influence bioactivity, but the biosynthesis such sugar chains is not well understood. Triterpene glycosides (saponins) a large family plant determine agronomic traits, as exemplified by avenacins, antimicrobial defense produced oats. Avenacins have branched trisaccharide moiety consisting l-arabinose linked to 2 d-glucose molecules critical for...
Oryza rufipogon, the wild progenitor of Asian cultivated rice sativa, is an important resource for breeding1. Here we present a wild-cultivated pangenome based on 145 chromosome-level assemblies, comprising 129 genetically diverse O. rufipogon accessions and 16 varieties sativa. This contains 3.87 Gb sequences that are absent from sativa ssp. japonica cv. Nipponbare reference genome. We captured alternate assemblies include heterozygous information missing in primary identified total 69,531...
Osteoporosis is a heritable disease characterized mainly by low bone mineral density (BMD) and/or osteoporotic fractures (OF).Most genome-wide association studies on osteoporosis have focused BMD, whereas little effort has been expended to identify genetic variants directly linked OF.To determine whether BMD-loci are also associated with OF risk, we performed validation study examine 23 reported recent for 203 ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.brGenetics and Molecular Research 11 (1): 202-210...
To investigate the function of a bacterial-type phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC2) derived from photosynthetically-grown Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, fragment pepc2 gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. After optimal induction for 6 h, PEPC activity reverse mutant lower than wild type (0.9 vs. 1.7 U/mg protein), soluble protein also (119 186 mg/g dry wt). In contrast, total lipid content increased 56 (in type) to 71 wt, despite growth rate being slightly diminished. The...
