葡萄果实成熟期花色苷与白藜芦醇合成相关基因的表达

以酿酒葡萄‘赤霞珠’为试材,采用pH示差法和高效液相色谱(HPLC)法分别测定葡萄成熟期果皮花色苷和白藜芦醇含量,用实时荧光定量PCR检测两者合成途径中相关基因的表达量,分析花色苷含量和白藜芦醇含量与其相关基因表达的关系,以揭示结构基因与调控基因的调控机制,为筛选富含花色苷和白藜芦醇的酿酒葡萄提供理论依据。结果显示:(1)葡萄果皮花色苷含量在花后112d达到最高值(0.77mg/g),反式白藜芦醇含量在花后126d达到最高值(30.87μg/g)。(2)花色苷和白藜芦醇合成途径中,CHSs、CHI、STS、UFGT、MybA1、MybA2基因的表达量除花后98d下调外,其余时间均呈上调表达,而Myb5a则始终呈上调表达。(3)相关分析表明,STS基因表达量与CHS1、CHS2基因表达量呈极显著和显著正相关关系,MybA1、MybA2基因表达量与CHSs、CHI、STS、UFGT基因的表达量呈极显著正相关关系;Myb5a基因表达量与CHS3基因表达量呈极显著正相关关系。研究表明,部分结构基因的表达与花色苷和白藜芦醇的变化不同步,MybA1和MybA2可能调控花色苷合成途径中多个结构基因的表达,花色苷与白藜芦醇的关系并不固定,而是处在动态变化中。     

乙烯利处理对葡萄花色苷合成相关基因表达的影响

利用荧光定量PCR技术分析‘京优’葡萄果实成熟过程中,花色苷生物合成途径相关酶基因mRNA转录水平的变化以及乙烯利处理对果皮中花色苷含量和关键酶基因转录水平的影响。结果显示,葡萄果实发育进入着色期,花色苷合成过程中主要相关基因(CHSs、CHIs、F3Hs、F3′H、F3′5′H、DFR、LDOX、UFGT、OMT和GST)和转录因子(MybA1和MybA1-2)转录水平都显著提高,其中UFGT、GST、MybA1和CHSs、CHIs、F3Hs基因家族中的CHS3、CHI2、F3H2随着花色苷合成而大量转录;乙烯利处理能够增强花色苷合成相关基因的转录,使其转录时期前移和转录水平提高,其中对GST、UFGT和MybA1转录的促进作用最明显。相关性分析表明,花色苷合成与一些花色苷合成相关基因(CHS3、CHI2、F3H2、F3′5′H、UFGT、GST)和转录因子(MybA1)的转录水平呈显著或极显著正相关;与CHS1、CHS2、CHI1、F3H1、DFR、F3′H、LDOX和OMT转录水平的相关性均不显著。本研究结果为进一步阐明花色苷生物合成机理和花色苷类色素的生产应用提供一定的理论依据。     

Distinctive Expansion of Potential Virulence Genes in the Genome of the Oomycete Fish Pathogen Saprolegnia parasitica

Oomycetes in the class Saprolegniomycetidae of the Eukaryotic kingdom Stramenopila have evolved as severe pathogens of amphibians, crustaceans, fish and insects, resulting in major losses in aquaculture and damage to aquatic ecosystems. We have sequenced the 63 Mb genome of the fresh water fish pathogen, Saprolegnia parasitica. Approximately 1/3 of the assembled genome exhibits loss of heterozygosity, indicating an efficient mechanism for revealing new variation. Comparison of S. parasitica with plant pathogenic oomycetes suggests that during evolution the host cellular environment has driven distinct patterns of gene expansion and loss in the genomes of plant and animal pathogens. S. parasitica possesses one of the largest repertoires of proteases (270) among eukaryotes that are deployed in waves at different points during infection as determined from RNA-Seq data. In contrast, despite being capable of living saprotrophically, parasitism has led to loss of inorganic nitrogen and sulfur assimilation pathways, strikingly similar to losses in obligate plant pathogenic oomycetes and fungi. The large gene families that are hallmarks of plant pathogenic oomycetes such as Phytophthora appear to be lacking in S. parasitica, including those encoding RXLR effectors, Crinkler''s, and Necrosis Inducing-Like Proteins (NLP). S. parasitica also has a very large kinome of 543 kinases, 10% of which is induced upon infection. Moreover, S. parasitica encodes several genes typical of animals or animal-pathogens and lacking from other oomycetes, including disintegrins and galactose-binding lectins, whose expression and evolutionary origins implicate horizontal gene transfer in the evolution of animal pathogenesis in S. parasitica.

Autophagy in Development and Stress Responses of Plants

The uptake and degradation of cytoplasmic material by vacuolar autophagy in plants has been studied extensively by electron microscopy and shown to be involved in developmental processes such as vacuole formation, deposition of seed storage proteins and senescence, and in the response of plants to nutrient starvation and to pathogens. The isolation of genes required for autophagy in yeast has allowed the identification of many of the corresponding Arabidopsis genes based on sequence similarity. Knockout mutations in some of these Arabidopsis genes have revealed physiological roles for autophagy in nutrient recycling during nitrogen deficiency and in senescence. Recently, markers for monitoring autophagy in whole plants have been developed, opening the way for future studies to decipher the mechanisms and pathways of autophagy, and the function of these pathways in plant development and stress responses.

以红肉葡萄新种质‘钟山红玉’为实验材料,通过高效液相色谱-质谱联用(HPLC-MS)检测‘钟山红玉’从幼果到成熟期果皮、果肉中的花青苷组分及含量,并利用实时荧光定量PCR检测不同发育时期花青苷合成相关基因的表达水平,研究其不同果实发育时期果皮、果肉中的花青苷组分变化,以及相关基因表达规律,探索红肉葡萄果实呈色机制,为葡萄果实品质改良育种提供理论依据。结果表明:(1)‘钟山红玉’果皮和果肉中共检测出13种花青苷且都为单糖苷花青苷,与欧亚种葡萄亲缘关系较近。(2)‘钟山红玉’果皮、果肉中均检测出了欧亚种葡萄中很少有的天竺葵素3-O-葡萄糖苷;果皮中飞燕草素类(飞燕草素-、锦葵色素-、矮牵牛素-)花青苷衍生物含量显著高于矢车菊素类(矢车菊素-、芍药素-)花青苷衍生物,而在果肉中则两大类花青苷含量相近,这与果皮中较高的F3′5′H基因表达量有关,且在果皮中酰基化花青苷比例显著高于果肉。(3)花青苷合成相关基因MYBA2和UFGT在‘钟山红玉’不同发育时期的表达变化规律一致,UFGT基因在果肉中基本不表达,而MYBA2可能是决定‘钟山红玉’果肉转色的关键因子;并且ABA响应相关基因PYL1在‘钟山红玉’发育时期的表达规律与OMT和LDOX基因一致。     

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of NBS-Encoding Genes in Malus x domestica and Expansion of NBS Genes Family in Rosaceae

Nucleotide binding site leucine-rich repeats (NBS-LRR) disease resistance proteins play an important role in plant defense against pathogen attack. A number of recent studies have been carried out to identify and characterize NBS-LRR gene families in many important plant species. In this study, we identified NBS-LRR gene family comprising of 1015 NBS-LRRs using highly stringent computational methods. These NBS-LRRs were characterized on the basis of conserved protein motifs, gene duplication events, chromosomal locations, phylogenetic relationships and digital gene expression analysis. Surprisingly, equal distribution of Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) and coiled coil (CC) (1∶1) was detected in apple while the unequal distribution was reported in majority of all other known plant genome studies. Prediction of gene duplication events intriguingly revealed that not only tandem duplication but also segmental duplication may equally be responsible for the expansion of the apple NBS-LRR gene family. Gene expression profiling using expressed sequence tags database of apple and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) revealed the expression of these genes in wide range of tissues and disease conditions, respectively. Taken together, this study will provide a blueprint for future efforts towards improvement of disease resistance in apple.
