The Pitaya Flower Tissue's Gene Differential Expression Analysis between Self-Incompatible and Self-Compatible Varieties for the Identification of Genes Involved in Self-Incompatibility Regulation. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11406. [PMID: 37511162 PMCID: PMC10379629 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241411406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Self-incompatible pitaya varieties have low fruit-setting rates under natural conditions, leading to higher production costs and hindering industrial prosperity. Through transcriptome sequencing, we obtained the 36,900 longest transcripts (including 9167 new transcripts) from 60 samples of flowers. Samples were collected pre- and post-pollination (at 0 h, 0.5 h, 2 h, 4 h, and 12 h) from two varieties of pitaya (self-compatible Jindu No. 1 and self-incompatible Cu Sha). Using the RNA-Seq data and comparison of reference genomes, we annotated 28,817 genes in various databases, and 1740 genes were optimized in their structure for annotation. There were significant differences in the expression of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the pitaya stigmas under different pollination types, especially at the late post-pollination stage, where the expression of protease genes increasedal significantly under cross-pollination. We identified DEGs involved in the ribosomal, ubiquitination-mediated, and phyto-signaling pathways that may be involved in pitaya SI regulation. Based on the available transcriptome data and bioinformatics analysis, we tentatively identified HuS-RNase2 as a candidate gynogenetic S gene in the pitaya GSI system.

Combined transcriptomic and proteomic analysis reveals multiple pathways involved in self-pollen tube development and the potential roles of FviYABBY1 in self-incompatibility in Fragaria viridis. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:927001.

Abstract
Fragaria viridis exhibits S-RNase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility, in which S-RNase is the major factor inhibiting pollen tube growth. However, the pathways involved in and the immediate causes of the inhibition of pollen tube growth remain unknown. Here, interactive RNA sequencing and proteome analysis revealed changes in the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of F. viridis styles harvested at 0 and 24 h after self-pollination. A total of 2,181 differentially expressed genes and 200 differentially abundant proteins were identified during the pollen development stage of self-pollination. Differentially expressed genes and differentially abundant proteins associated with self-incompatible pollination were further mined, and multiple pathways were found to be involved. Interestingly, the expression pattern of the transcription factor FviYABBY1, which is linked to polar growth, differed from those of other genes within the same family. Specifically, FviYABBY1 expression was extremely high in pollen, and its expression trend in self-pollinated styles was consistent with that of S-RNase. Furthermore, FviYABBY1 interacted with S-RNase in a non-S haplotype way. Therefore, FviYABBY1 affects the expression of polar growth-related genes in self-pollen tubes and is positively regulated by S-RNase.

Abstract
At the early stage of pollination, the difference in gene expression between compatibility and incompatibility is highly significant about the pollen-specific expression of the LRR gene, resistance, and defensin genes. In Rosaceae, incompatible pollen can penetrate into the style during the gametophytic self-incompatibility response. It is therefore considered a stylar event rather than a stigmatic event. In this study, we explored the differences in gene expression between compatibility and incompatibility in the early stage of pollination. The self-compatible pear variety "Jinzhuili" is a naturally occurring bud mutant from "Yali", a leading Chinese native cultivar exhibiting typical gametophytic self-incompatibility. We collected the styles of 'Yali' and 'Jinzhuili' at 0.5 and 2 h after self-pollination and then performed high-throughput sequencing. According to the KEGG analysis of the differentially expressed genes, several metabolic pathways, such as "Plant hormone signal transduction", "Plant-pathogen interaction", are the main pathways was the most represented pathway. Quantitative PCR was used to validate these differential genes. The expression levels of genes related to pollen growth and disease inhibition, such as LRR (Leucine-rich repeat extensin), resistance, defensin, and auxin, differed significantly between compatible and incompatible pollination. Interestingly, at 0.5 h, most of these genes were upregulated in the compatible pollination system compared with the incompatible pollination system. Calcium transport, which requires ATPase, also demonstrated upregulated expression. In summary, the self-incompatibility reaction was initiated when the pollen land on the stigma.

Abstract
It is clear that the incompatibility system in Fragaria is gametophytic, however, the genetic mechanism behind this remains elusive. Eleven second-generation lines of Fragaria viridis with different compatibility were obtained by manual self-pollination, which can be displayed directly by the level of fruit-set rate. We sequenced two second-generation selfing lines with large differences in fruit-set rate: Ls-S₂-53 as a self-incompatible sequencing sample, and Ls-S₂-76 as a strong self-compatible sequencing sample. Fragaria vesca was used as a completely self-compatible reference sample, and the genome-wide variations were identified and subsequently annotated. The distribution of polymorphisms is similar on each chromosome between the two sequencing samples, however, the distribution regions and the number of homozygous variations are inconsistent. Expression pattern analysis showed that six candidate genes were significantly associated with self-incompatibility. Using F. vesca as a reference, we focused our attention on the gene FIP2-like (FH protein interacting protein), associated with actin cytoskeleton formation, as the resulting proteins in Ls-S₂-53 and Ls-S₂-76 have each lost a number of different amino acids. Suppression of FIP2-like to some extent inhibits germination of pollen grains and growth of pollen tubes by reducing F-actin of the pollen tube tips. Our results suggest that the differential distribution of homozygous variations affects F. viridis fruit-set rate and that the fully encoded FIP2-like can function normally to promote F-actin formation, while the new FIP2-like proteins with shortened amino acid sequences have influenced the (in)compatibility of two selfing lines of F. viridis.

Abstract
Self-incompatibility (SI) is a complex process, one out of several mechanisms that prevent plants from self-fertilizing to maintain and increase the genetic variability. This process leads to the rejection of the male gametophyte and requires the co-participation of numerous molecules. Plants have evolved two distinct SI systems, the sporophytic (SSI) and the gametophytic (GSI) systems. The two SI systems are markedly characterized by different genes and proteins and each single system can also be divided into distinct subgroups; whatever the mechanism, the purpose is the same, i.e., to prevent self-fertilization. In Malinae, a subtribe in the Rosaceae family, i.e., Pyrus communis and Malus domestica, the GSI requires the production of female determinants, known as S-RNases, which penetrate the pollen tube to interact with the male determinants. Beyond this, the penetration of S-RNase into the pollen tube triggers a series of responses involving membrane proteins, such as phospholipases, intracellular variations of cytoplasmic Ca2+, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and altered enzymatic activities, such as that of transglutaminase (TGase). TGases are widespread enzymes that catalyze the post-translational conjugation of polyamines (PAs) to different protein targets and/or the cross-linking of substrate proteins leading to the formation of cross-linked products with high molecular mass. When actin and tubulin are the substrates, this destabilizes the cytoskeleton and inhibits the pollen-tube's growth process. In this review, we will summarize the current knowledge of the relationship between S-RNase penetration, TGase activity and cytoskeleton function during GSI in the Malinae.

Abstract
Among the Rosaceae species, the gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) is controlled by a single multi-allelic S locus, which is composed of the pistil-S and pollen-S genes. The pistil-S gene encodes a polymorphic ribonuclease (S-RNase), which is essential for identifying self-pollen. However, the S-RNase system has not been fully characterized. In this study, the self-S-RNase inhibited the Ca2+-permeable channel activity at pollen tube apices and the selectively decreased phospholipase C (PLC) activity in the plasma membrane of Pyrus pyrifolia pollen tubes. Self-S-RNase decreased the Ca2+ influx through a PLC-mediated signaling pathway. Phosphatidylinositol-specific PLC has a 26-amino acid insertion in pollen tubes of the 'Jinzhuili' cultivar, which is a spontaneous self-compatible mutant of the 'Yali' cultivar. 'Yali' plants exhibit a typical S-RNase-based GSI. Upon self-pollination, PLC gene expression is significantly higher in 'Jinzhuili' pollen tubes than that in 'Yali' pollen tubes. Moreover, the PLC in pollen tubes can only interact with one of the two types of S-RNase from the style. In the Pyrus x bretschneideri Rehd, the PLC directly interacted with the S7-RNase in the pollen tube, but not with the S34-RNase. Collectively, our results reveal that the effects of S-RNase on PLC activity are required for S-specific pollen rejection, and that PLC-IP3 participates in the self-incompatibility reaction of Pyrus species.
