Abstract
Two advanced wheat lines BAd7-209 and BAd23-1 without the functional gene GPC-B1 were obtained from a cross between common wheat cultivar Chuannong 16 (CN16) and wild emmer wheat accession D97 (D97). BAd7-209 showed superior quality parameters than those of BAd23-1 and CN16. We found that the components of glutenins and gliadins in BAd7-209 and BAd23-1 were similar, whereas BAd7-209 had higher amount of glutenins and gliadins than those of BAd23-1. RNA sequencing analysis on developing grains of BAd7-209 and BAd23-1 as well as their parents revealed 382 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the high–grain protein content (GPC) (D97 + BAd7-209) and the low-GPC (CN16 + BAd23-1) groups. DEGs were mainly associated with transcriptional regulation of the storage protein genes, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, and protein export pathways. The upregulated gluten genes and transcription factors (e.g., NAC, MYB, and bZIP) may contribute to the high GPC in BAd7-209. Our results provide insights into the potential regulation pathways underlying wheat grain protein accumulation and contribute to make use of wild emmer for wheat quality improvement.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 9:E1517. [PMID: 33182289 PMCID: PMC7695314 DOI: 10.3390/plants9111517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2020] [Revised: 11/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Lab-on-a-chip technology is an emerging and convenient system to easily and quickly separate proteins of high molecular weight. The current study established a high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS) identification system using Lab-on-a-chip for three, six, and three of the allelic variations at the Glu-A1, Glu-B1, and Glu-D1 loci, respectively, which are commonly used in wheat breeding programs. The molecular weight of 1Ax1 and 1Ax2* encoded by Glu-A1 locus were of 200 kDa and 192 kDa and positioned below 1Dx subunits. The HMW-GS encoded by Glu-B1 locus were electrophoresed in the following order below 1Ax1 and 1Ax2*: 1Bx13 ≥ 1Bx7 = 1Bx7OE > 1Bx17 > 1By16 > 1By8 = 1By18 > 1By9. 1Dx2 and Dx5 showed around 4-kDa difference in their molecular weights, with 1Dy10 and 1Dy12 having 11-kDa difference, and were clearly differentiated on Lab-on-a-chip. Additionally, some of the HMW-GS, including 1By8, 1By18, and 1Dy10, having different theoretical molecular weights showed similar electrophoretic mobility patterns on Lab-on-a-chip. The relative protein amount of 1Bx7OE was two-fold higher than that of 1Bx7 or 1Dx5 and, therefore, translated a significant increase in the protein amount in 1Bx7OE. Similarly, the relative protein amounts of 8 & 10 and 10 & 18 were higher than each subunit taken alone. Therefore, this study suggests the established HMW-GS identification system using Lab-on-a-chip as a reliable approach for evaluating HMW-GS for wheat breeding programs.
