Morphological and Genomic Differences in the Italian Populations of Onopordum tauricum Willd.-A New Source of Vegetable Rennet. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:654. [PMID: 38475500 DOI: 10.3390/plants13050654] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
Onopordum tauricum Willd., a species distributed in Eastern Europe, has been the subject of various research endeavors aimed at assessing its suitability for extracting vegetable rennet for use in the production of local cheeses as a substitute for animal-derived rennet. In Italy, the species has an extremely fragmented and localized distribution in six locations scattered across the central-northern Apennines and some areas of southern Italy. In this study, both the morphology and genetic diversity of the six known Italian populations were investigated to detect putative ecotypes. To this end, 33 morphological traits were considered for morphometric measurements, while genetic analysis was conducted on the entire genome using the ddRAD-Seq method. Both analyses revealed significant differences among the Apennine populations (SOL, COL, and VIS) and those from southern Italy (ROT, PES, and LEC). Specifically, the southern Italian populations appear to deviate significantly in some characteristics from the typical form of the species. Therefore, its attribution to O. tauricum is currently uncertain, and further genetic and morphological analyses are underway to ascertain its systematic placement within the genus Onopordum.

Functional Bph14 from Rathu Heenati promotes resistance to BPH at the early seedling stage of rice (Oryza sativa L.) as revealed by QTL-seq. TAG. THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS. THEORETISCHE UND ANGEWANDTE GENETIK 2023; 136:25. [PMID: 36781491 DOI: 10.1007/s00122-023-04318-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
A QTL associated with BPH resistance at the early seedling stage was identified on chromosome 3. Functional Bph14 in Rathu Heenati was associated with BPH resistance at the early seedling stage. Brown planthopper (BPH; Nilaparvata lugens Stål) is considered the most important rice pest in many Asian countries. Several BPH resistance genes have previously been identified. However, there are few reports of genes specific for BPH resistance at the early seedling stage, a crucial stage for direct-seeding cultivation. In this study, we performed a QTL-seq analysis using two bulks (20 F2 lines in each bulk) of the F2 population (n = 300) derived from a cross of Rathu Heenati (RH) × HCS-1 to identify QTL/genes associated with BPH resistance at the early seedling stage. An important QTL was identified on chromosome 3 and Bph14 was identified as a potential candidate gene based on the differences in gene expression and sequence variation when compared with the two parents. All plants in the resistant bulks possessed the functional Bph14 from RH and all plants in the susceptible bulk and HCS-1 contained a large deletion (2703 bp) in Bph14. The functional Bph14 gene of RH appears to be important for BPH resistance at the early seedling stage of rice and could be used in conjunction with other BPH resistance genes in rice breeding programs that confer resistance to BPH at the early and later growth stages.

Whole genome resequencing identifies candidate genes and allelic diagnostic markers for resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum infection in cultivated peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.). FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 13:1048168.

Abstract
Bacterial wilt disease (BWD), caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a major challenge for peanut production in China and significantly affects global peanut field productivity. It is imperative to identify genetic loci and putative genes controlling resistance to R. solanacearum (RRS). Therefore, a sequencing-based trait mapping approach termed "QTL-seq" was applied to a recombination inbred line population of 581 individuals from the cross of Yueyou 92 (resistant) and Xinhuixiaoli (susceptible). A total of 381,642 homozygous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 98,918 InDels were identified through whole genome resequencing of resistant and susceptible parents for RRS. Using QTL-seq analysis, a candidate genomic region comprising of 7.2 Mb (1.8-9.0 Mb) was identified on chromosome 12 which was found to be significantly associated with RRS based on combined Euclidean Distance (ED) and SNP-index methods. This candidate genomic region had 180 nonsynonymous SNPs and 14 InDels that affected 75 and 11 putative candidate genes, respectively. Finally, eight nucleotide binding site leucine rich repeat (NBS-LRR) putative resistant genes were identified as the important candidate genes with high confidence. Two diagnostic SNP markers were validated and revealed high phenotypic variation in the different resistant and susceptible RIL lines. These findings advocate the expediency of the QTL-seq approach for precise and rapid identification of candidate genomic regions, and the development of diagnostic markers that are applicable in breeding disease-resistant peanut varieties.

Abstract
Fruit shape is a key trait in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Since most studies focused on proximo-distal fruit morphology, we hypothesized that unknown QTLs for medio-lateral direction ones could be found analysing segregating populations where major shape genes are fixed. We examined the diversity of fruit morphology in medio-lateral direction; defined divergent traits in cultivars carrying identical genetic constitution at LC and FAS genes; and identified QTLs for lobedness degree (LD) by a QTL-seq approach. We found that LC and FAS genes were not enough to explain LD variability in a large tomato collection. Then, we derived F2 populations crossing cultivars divergent for LD where LC and FAS were fixed (Yellow Stuffer x Heinz 1439 [F2YSxH] and Voyage x Old Brooks [F2VxOB]). By QTL-seq we identified a QTL for LD on chromosome 8 in both F2, which was validated in F2YSxH by interval mapping accounting for ~ 17% of the variability. Other two QTLs located on chromosomes 6 and 11 with epistasis explained ~ 61% of the variability in the F2VxOB. In conclusion, three novel QTLs with major effect for LD (ld6, ld8, and ld11) were identified through the study of diversity and genetic segregation in intraspecific tomato crosses.

Identification and Validation of a QTL for Bacterial Leaf Streak Resistance in Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) against Thai Xoc Strains. Genes (Basel) 2021; 12:1587.

Abstract
Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world and is of vital importance to many countries. Various diseases caused by fungi, bacteria and viruses constantly threaten rice plants and cause yield losses. Bacterial leaf streak disease (BLS) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) is one of the most devastating rice diseases. However, most modern rice varieties are susceptible to BLS. In this study, we applied the QTL-seq approach using an F2 population derived from the cross between IR62266 and Homcholasit (HSC) to rapidly identify the quantitative trait loci (QTL) that confers resistance to BLS caused by a Thai Xoc isolate, SP7-5. The results showed that a single genomic region at the beginning of chromosome 5 was highly associated with resistance to BLS. The gene xa5 was considered a potential candidate gene in this region since most associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were within this gene. A Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) marker was developed based on two consecutive functional SNPs in xa5 and validated in six F2 populations inoculated with another Thai Xoc isolate, 2NY2-2. The phenotypic variance explained by this marker (PVE) ranged from 59.04% to 70.84% in the six populations. These findings indicate that xa5 is a viable candidate gene for BLS resistance and may help in breeding programs for BLS resistance.

Abstract
In the current era, one of biggest challenges is to shorten the breeding cycle for rapid generation of a new crop variety having high yield capacity, disease resistance, high nutrient content, etc. Advances in the "-omics" technology have revolutionized the discovery of genes and bio-molecules with remarkable precision, resulting in significant development of plant-focused metabolic databases and resources. Metabolomics has been widely used in several model plants and crop species to examine metabolic drift and changes in metabolic composition during various developmental stages and in response to stimuli. Over the last few decades, these efforts have resulted in a significantly improved understanding of the metabolic pathways of plants through identification of several unknown intermediates. This has assisted in developing several new metabolically engineered important crops with desirable agronomic traits, and has facilitated the de novo domestication of new crops for sustainable agriculture and food security. In this review, we discuss how "omics" technologies, particularly metabolomics, has enhanced our understanding of important traits and allowed speedy domestication of novel crop plants.
