Allelic Variation of BnaFTA2 and BnaFTC6 Is Associated With Flowering Time and Seasonal Crop Type in Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). PLANT, CELL & ENVIRONMENT 2024. [PMID: 39360620 DOI: 10.1111/pce.15165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 08/20/2024] [Accepted: 09/07/2024] [Indexed: 10/04/2024]
Abstract
Different ecological types of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), including winter, spring, and semi-winter cultivars, exhibit varying flowering times and cannot be planted in the same cultivation areas. FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) plays a key role in regulating flowering. In allotetraploid B. napus six copies of FT (BnaFT) have been reported. However, there is uncertainty about how the translated products of each paralog, as well as cis-allelic variations at each locus, contribute functionally to flowering time and define specific crop types. In this study, we confirm that BnaFT exhibit distinct expression patterns in different crop types of rapeseed. Using the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system, we provide functional evidence that the mutants between Bnaft paralogues affects the regulation of flowering time. Furthermore, we identify a new haplotype of BnaFT.A2 that is associated with early flowering time, although this appears necessary but not sufficient to confer a spring type phenotype. Three haplotypes of BnaFT.C6 were further identified and associated with both flowering time and crop types. We speculate that variations in both BnaFT.A2 and BnaFT.C6 may have undergone diversifying selection during the divergence of seasonal crop types in rapeseed.

Abstract
Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is one of the major global sources of edible vegetable oil and is also used as a feed and pioneer crop and for sightseeing and industrial purposes. Improvements in genome sequencing and molecular marker technology have fueled a boom in functional genomic studies of major agronomic characters such as yield, quality, flowering time, and stress resistance. Moreover, introgression and pyramiding of key functional genes have greatly accelerated the genetic improvement of important traits. Here we summarize recent progress in rapeseed genomics and genetics, and we discuss effective molecular breeding strategies by exploring these findings in rapeseed. These insights will extend our understanding of the molecular mechanisms and regulatory networks underlying agronomic traits and facilitate the breeding process, ultimately contributing to more sustainable agriculture throughout the world.

Abstract
Plant-pathogenic phytoplasmas secrete specific virulence proteins into a host plant to modulate plant function for their own benefit. Identification of phytoplasmal effectors is a key step toward clarifying the pathogenic mechanisms of phytoplasma. In this study, Zaofeng3, also known as secreted jujube witches' broom phytoplasma protein 3 (SJP3), was a homologous effector of SAP54 and induced a variety of abnormal phenotypes, such as phyllody, malformed floral organs, witches' broom, and dwarfism in Arabidopsis thaliana. Zaofeng3 can also induce small leaves, dwarfism, and witches' broom in Ziziphus jujuba. Further experiments showed that the three complete α-helix domains predicted in Zaofeng3 were essential for induction of disease symptoms in jujube. Yeast two-hybrid library screening showed that Zaofeng3 mainly interacts with proteins involved in flower morphogenesis and shoot proliferation. Bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays confirmed that Zaofeng3 interacted with these proteins in the whole cell. Overexpression of zaofeng3 in jujube shoot significantly altered the expression patterns of ZjMADS19, ZjMADS47, ZjMADS48, ZjMADS77, and ZjTCP7, suggesting that overexpressing zaofeng3 might induce floral organ malformation and witches' broom by altering the expression of the transcriptional factors involved in jujube morphogenesis.

Abstract
CONSTANS/CONSTANS-like (CO/COL) transcription factors play a vital role in the photoperiodic flowering pathway. However, the biological functions of COL genes in mango are unclear. In this study, we identified 31 COL genes from the 'Jin Huang' mango genome and divided them into three groups according to the specific gene structure and protein domain characteristics. These 31 MiCOL genes were heterogeneously distributed on 14 chromosomes. Expression pattern analysis showed that most MiCOL genes were mainly expressed in leaves and stems and during the floral induction period, followed by the floral differentiation period. The expression of COL genes was induced by drought and salt stress, but the expression patterns of different genes were different, which may suggest that MiCOL genes are involved in the abiotic stress response of mango. Under salt and drought conditions, two MiCOL9 genes can improve the resistance of Arabidopsis by improving the scavenging ability of ROS and proline accumulation and reducing the MDA content. Additionally, overexpression of MiCOL9 genes significantly inhibited flowering in transgenic Arabidopsis. This work provides an important foundation for understanding the biological roles of mango COL genes in plant growth, development and stress responses.

De Novo Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Flowering-Related Genes That Potentially Contribute to Flowering-Time Control in the Japanese Cultivated Gentian Gentiana triflora. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231911754.

Abstract
Japanese cultivated gentians are perennial plants that flower in early summer to late autumn in Japan, depending on the cultivar. Several flowering-related genes, including GtFT1 and GtTFL1, are known to be involved in regulating flowering time, but many such genes remain unidentified. In this study, we obtained transcriptome profiling data using the Gentiana triflora cultivar ‘Maciry’, which typically flowers in late July. We conducted deep RNA sequencing analysis using gentian plants grown under natural field conditions for three months before flowering. To investigate diurnal changes, the plants were sampled at 4 h intervals over 24 h. Using these transcriptome data, we determined the expression profiles of leaves based on homology searches against the Flowering-Interactive Database of Arabidopsis. In particular, we focused on transcription factor genes, belonging to the BBX and MADS-box families, and analyzed their developmental and diurnal variation. The expression levels of representative BBX genes were also analyzed under long- and short-day conditions using in-vitro-grown seedlings, and the expression patterns of some BBX genes differed. Clustering analysis revealed that the transcription factor genes were coexpressed with GtFT1. Overall, these expression profiles will facilitate further analysis of the molecular mechanisms underlying the control of flowering time in gentians.

Abstract
We identified two new transposon insertions within the promoter of BnaFT.A2 in addition to an existing 288 bp MITE within the second intron. Each insertion event corresponds to a distinct BnaFT.A2 haplotype and is closely associated with established crop seasonal ecotypes. Florigen, encoded by FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), plays key roles not only as a flowering hormone, but also a universal growth factor affecting several aspects of plant architecture. In rapeseed, BnaFT.A2 has been revealed as one of the major loci associated with flowering time and different ecotypes. However, it is unclear how allelic variations of BnaFT.A2 affect its function in flowering time regulation and beyond. In this study, we confirmed an existing 288 bp miniature inverted-repeat transposable element (MITE) insertion within the second intron and identified two new insertions within the promoter of BnaFT.A2-a 3971 bp CACTA and a 1079 bp Helitron. Each insertion event corresponds to a distinct BnaFT.A2 haplotype and is closely associated with established crop seasonal ecotypes. These alleles have similar tissue-specific expression patterns but discrete transcriptional patterns tightly associated with rapeseed flowering time and ecotype. RNAi lines and mutants of BnaFT.A2 flowered significantly later than controls. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs), identified in transcriptomic profiling of seedling leaves from two loss-of-function mutants (Bnaft.a2-L1 and Bnaft.a2-L2) compared with controls, indicated significant enrichment for hormone metabolic genes and roles related to plant cell wall synthesis and photosynthesis. Plants with loss-of-function BnaFT.A2 had smaller leaves and lower net photosynthetic rate compared to controls. These findings not only further clarify the genetic basis of flowering time variation and ecotype formation in B. napus, but also provide an additional toolbox for genetic improvement of seasonal adaptation and production.

Natural variation MeMYB108 associated with tolerance to stress-induced leaf abscission linked to enhanced protection against reactive oxygen species in cassava. PLANT CELL REPORTS 2022; 41:1573-1587. [PMID: 35608655 PMCID: PMC9270272 DOI: 10.1007/s00299-022-02879-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Natural variation of the MeMYB108 exon was associated with reactive oxygen scavengers led to alleviate leaf abscission under drought in cassava. The reactive oxygen scavengers play important roles in regulating the cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) leaf abscission induced by stresses. To date, the relationship between natural variations of MYB genes and reactive oxygen scavengers under drought in cassava genotypes remains unclear. Here, we reported the transcription factor MeMYB108 played an important role in regulating leaf abscission exposed to drought in cassava. The expression levels of MeMYB108 in abscission zones of cassava leaf pulvinus were higher in cassava genotype SC124, which were less easy to shed leaves under stress than cassava genotype SC8 when the leaf abscission induced by the same drought condition. Compared with wild type and interference expression plants, overexpression of MeMYB108 significantly reduced the drought-induced leaf abscission rate under drought. The consecutively 2-year analysis of reactive oxygen scavengers showed significant differences among different cassava genotypes under drought-induced leaf abscission, indicating the relevance between reactive oxygen scavengers and leaf abscission. Correlation analysis revealed the natural variation of the MeMYB108 exon was associated with reactive oxygen scavengers during drought-induced leaf abscission. Association analysis between pairwise LD of DNA polymorphism indicated the MeMYB108 allele enhanced the tolerance of cassava to drought-induced leaf abscission. Complementation transgenic lines containing the elite allele of MeMYB108 SC124 decreased the leaf abscission rate induced by drought conditions, demonstrating natural variation in MeMYB108 contributed to leaf abscission tolerance induced by drought in cassava. Further studies showed MeMYB108 played an active role in the tolerance of cassava to drought-induced leaf abscission by inducing scavenging of reactive oxygen species.
