[PMID: 36587241 DOI: 10.1016/j.molp.2022.12.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2022] [Revised: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Dasypyrum villosum is one of the most valuable gene resources in wheat improvement, especially for disease resistance. The mining of favorable genes from D. villosum is frustrated by the lack of a whole genome sequence. In this study, we generated a doubled-haploid line, 91C43DH, using microspore culture and obtained a 4.05-GB high-quality, chromosome-scale genome assembly for D. villosum. The assembly contains39 727 high-confidence genes, and 85.31% of the sequences are repetitive. Two reciprocal translocation events were detected, and 7VS-4VL is a unique translocation in D. villosum. The prolamin seed storage protein-coding genes were found to be duplicated; in particular, the genes encoding low-molecular-weight glutenin at the Glu-V3 locus were significantly expanded. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis indicated that, after Blumeria graminearum f.sp tritici (Bgt) inoculation, there were more upregulated genes involved in the pattern-triggered immunity and effector-triggered immunity defense pathways in D. villosum than in Triticum urartu. MNase hypersensitive sequencing (MH-seq) identified two Bgt-inducible MH sites (MHSs), one in the promoter and one in the 3' terminal region of the powdery mildew resistance (Pm) gene NLR1-V. Each site had two subpeaks and they were termed MHS1 (MHS1.1/1.2) and MHS2 (MHS2.1/2.2). Bgt-inducible MHS2.2 was uniquely present in D. villosum, and MHS1.1 was more inducible in D. villosum than in wheat, suggesting that MHSs may be critical for regulation of NLR1-V expression and plant defense. In summary, this study provides a valuable genome resource for functional genomics studies and wheat-D. villosum introgression breeding. The identified regulatory mechanisms may also be exploited to develop new strategies for enhancing Pm resistance by optimizing gene expression in wheat.

Abstract
Good preparations are essential for informative analysis of both somatic and meiotic chromosomes, cytogenetics, and cell divisions. Fluorescent chromosome staining allows even small chromosomes to be visualized and counted, showing their morphology. Aneuploidies and polyploidies can be established for species, populations, or individuals while changes occurring in breeding lines during hybridization or tissue culture and transformation protocols can be assessed. The process of division can be followed during mitosis and meiosis including pairing and chiasma distribution, as well as DNA organization and structure during the evolution of chromosomes can be studied. This chapter presents protocols for pretreatment and fixation of material, including tips of how to grow plants to get good and healthy meristem with many divisions. The chromosome preparation technique is described using proteolytic enzymes, but acids can be used instead. Chromosome slide preparations are suitable for fluorochrome staining for fast screening (described in the chapter) or fluorescent in situ hybridization (see Schwarzacher and Heslop-Harrison, In situ hybridization. BIOS Scientific Publishers, Oxford, 2000).

Abstract
The application of DNA intercalator 9-aminoacridine allowed us to increase the resolution of chromosome C-banding and DAPI-banding patterns and to investigate chromosomal polymorphism in karyotypes of seven spring and six winter rape varieties. It was shown that the pericentromeric and intercalary C-bands of most of the chromosomes in spring rape were smaller in size and less polymorphic than those of winter rape. More 26S and 5S rDNA sites were found in the winter rape karyotypes than the spring varieties. Separate or colocalized 26S and 5S rDNA sites were revealed on chromosomes 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 14, 15, 16 and 18. Intervarietal and intravarietal polymorphism of the number and chromosomal localization of rDNA sites were detected. The generalized idiogram of chromosomes of 13 Brassica napus varieties with account of all possibilities of C-banding patterns as well as localization of 26S and 5S rDNA sites were constructed. Polymorphism of the examined molecular and cytogenetic markers as well as the heterozygosis level of FAE1.1 gene controlling erucic acid synthesis in rapeseed was higher in the winter varieties than in the spring ones. The obtained data were in a atisfactory agreement with increased tolerance to environmental stress conditions of winter rape.

Abstract
The paradigm that meiotic recombination and chiasmata have the same basis has been challenged, primarily for plants. High resolution genetic mapping frequently results in maps with lengths far exceeding those based on chiasma counts. In addition, recombination between specific homoeologous chromosomes derived from interspecific hybrids is sometimes much higher than can be explained by meiotic chiasma frequencies. However, almost the entire discrepancy disappears when proper care is taken of map inflation resulting from the shortcomings of the mapping algorithm and classification errors, the use of dissimilar material, and the difficulty of accurately counting chiasmata. Still, some exchanges, especially of short interstitial segments, cannot readily be explained by normal meiotic behaviour. Aberrant meiotic processes involving segment replacement or insertion can probably be excluded. Some cases of unusual recombination are somatic, possibly premeiotic exchange. For other cases, local relaxation of chiasma interference caused by small interruptions of homology disturbing synaptonemal complex formation is proposed as the cause. It would be accompanied by a preference for compensating exchanges (negative chromatid interference) resulting from asymmetry of the pairing chromatid pairs, so that one side of each pair preferentially participates in pairing. Over longer distances, the pairing face may switch, causing the normal random chromatid participation in double exchanges and the relatively low frequency of short interstitial exchanges. Key words : recombination frequency, map length, chiasmata, discrepancy, chromatid interference.

Abstract
To investigate the genome of the aphid Megoura viciae at molecular level, we have studied total DNA by agarose gel electrophoresis after cleavage with different restriction endonucleases. EcoRI digestion produced a highly repeated DNA fragment, about 600 pb long. The contribution of this EcoRI element to the total genome of M. viciae was estimated at about 6% by means of densitometric scanning of agarose gel photographs. The chromosomal localization of this fragment, investigated by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), constantly showed one large and two narrower fluorescent bands located on the X chromosome, all corresponding to C-positive heterochromatic areas. These results are in full accordance with the data obtained by in situ nick translation experiments carried out after EcoRI digestion, and clearly demonstrate that a substantial amount of M. viciae heterochromatin consists of EcoRI fragments which are mainly located on the X chromosome. Using the EcoRI restriction fragment as a molecular probe may be a practical tool for the investigation of taxonomic and evolutionary relationships in this group of insects.

Abstract
The DNA methylation pattern of Vicia faba metaphase chromosomes was examined with a specific monoclonal antibody. 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) residues are present in different chromosomal sites, and are particularly abundant in telomeric and/or subtelomeric regions and in certain intercalary bands. Chromosomal localization of methylated regions enables a better knowledge of the lengthwise differentiation of this chromosome complement. Our results also indicate that there may be differences in monoclonal antibody binding between corresponding regions of homologous chromosomes in V. faba. This behaviour is detectable in specific regions with different frequencies. The data support results previously obtained for Allium cepa metaphase chromosomes using the same monoclonal antibody.
