Abstract
Plant trichomes are specialized epidermal cells that are widely distributed on plant aerial tissues. The initiation and progression of trichomes are controlled in a coordinated sequence of multiple molecular events. During the past decade, major breakthroughs in the molecular understanding of trichome development were achieved through the characterization of various trichomes defective mutants and trichome-associated genes, which revealed a highly complex molecular regulatory network underlying plant trichome development. This review focuses on the recent millstone in plant trichomes research obtained using genetic and molecular studies, as well as 'omics' analyses in model plant Arabidopsis and fiber crop cotton. In particular, we discuss the latest understanding and insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms of trichomes formation at multiple dimensions, including at the chromatin, transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and post-translational levels. We summarize that the integration of multi-dimensional trichome-associated genes will enable us to systematically understand the molecular regulation network that landscapes the development of the plant trichomes. These advances will enable us to address the unresolved questions regarding the molecular crosstalk that coordinate concurrent and ordered the changes in cotton fiber initiation and progression, together with their possible implications for genetic improvement of cotton fiber.

Abstract
Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is an important natural fiber plant. Lint percentage (LP) is one of the most important determinants of cotton yield and is a typical quantitative trait with high variation and heritability. Many cotton LP genetic linkages and association maps have been reported. This work summarizes the inheritance, quantitative trait loci (QTLs), and candidate genes of LP to facilitate LP genetic study and molecular breeding. More than 1439 QTLs controlling LP have been reported. Excluding replicate QTLs, 417 unique QTLs have been identified on 26 chromosomes, including 243 QTLs identified at LOD >3. More than 60 are stable, major effective QTLs that can be used in marker-assisted selection (MAS). More than 90 candidate genes for LP have been reported. These genes encode MYB, HOX, NET, and other proteins, and most are preferentially expressed during fiber initiation and elongation. A putative molecular regulatory model of LP was constructed and provides the foundation for the genetic study and molecular breeding of LP.

Gene 2022; 815:146180. [PMID: 34990794 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2021.146180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Revised: 10/31/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
Histone, a predominant protein component of chromatin, participates in DNA packaging and transcriptional regulation. However, the available information of Histone gene family is limited in radish. In this study, a total of 42 Histone gene family members were identified from the radish genome. Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analyses classified the Histone family into three groups (H2A, H2B and H3). Motif analysis showed that the functions of some motifs shared by H3 subfamily genes were related to chromosome regulation and cell development activities, such as motif 5 containing Cks1 and PPR region. Analysis of intron/exon structure indicated that RsCENH3 (RsHistone 18) has the characteristics of variant Histone. Furthermore, several motifs, including the LTR, G-box and TC-elements, were found in the promoters of RsHistone genes, which involved in cell development or various abiotic stresses responses. Transcriptome analysis indicated that the RsHistone genes exhibited higher expression level in floral buds than in roots and leaves. Subcellular localization showed that the RsCENH3 was localized on the nucleus, and it was highly expressed in the floral bud of 3.0-4.0 mm in radish. These findings would provide valuable information for characterization and potential utilization of Histone genes, and facilitate the efficient induction of double haploid plants in radish.

THE PLANT JOURNAL : FOR CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2018; 95:1069-1083. [PMID: 29952050 DOI: 10.1111/tpj.14011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2018] [Revised: 06/12/2018] [Accepted: 06/19/2018] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
Cotton fibers are single-celled trichomes that initiate from the epidermal cells of the ovules at or before anthesis. Here, we identified that the histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity is essential for proper cotton fiber initiation. We further identified 15 HDACs homoeologs in each of the A- and D-subgenomes of Gossypium hirsutum. Few of these HDAC homoeologs expressed preferentially during the early stages of fiber development [-1, 0 and 6 days post-anthesis (DPA)]. Among them, GhHDA5 expressed significantly at the time of fiber initiation (-1 and 0 DPA). The in vitro assay for HDAC activity indicated that GhHDA5 primarily deacetylates H3K9 acetylation marks. Moreover, the reduced expression of GhHDA5 also suppresses fiber initiation and lint yield in the RNA interference (RNAi) lines. The 0 DPA ovules of GhHDA5RNAi lines also showed alterations in reactive oxygen species homeostasis and elevated autophagic cell death in the developing fibers. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identified through RNA-seq of RNAi line (DEP12) and their pathway analysis showed that GhHDA5 modulates expression of many stress and development-related genes involved in fiber development. The reduced expression of GhHDA5 in the RNAi lines also resulted in H3K9 hyper-acetylation on the promoter region of few DEGs assessed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. The positively co-expressed genes with GhHDA5 showed cumulative higher expression during fiber initiation, and gene ontology annotation suggests their involvement in fiber development. Furthermore, the predicted protein interaction network in the positively co-expressed genes indicates HDA5 modulates fiber initiation-specific gene expression through a complex involving reported repressors.
