Hybrid weakness and continuous flowering caused by compound expression of FTLs in Chrysanthemum morifolium × Leucanthemum paludosum intergeneric hybridization.

Abstract
Hybridization is an important evolutionary mechanism ubiquitous to plants. Previous studies have shown that hybrid polyploidization of cultivated chrysanthemum, 'Zhongshanzigui', and Leucanthemum paludosum exhibit spring-flowering traits. This study explores the function of the LpFTLs gene via the phenotype of A. thaliana after heterologous transformation of the LpFTLs gene, and analyzes the mechanism ofthe continuous flowering phenotype and heterosis of hybrid offspring. The results suggest that the flowering phenotype of hybrid offspring in spring may be related to the expression of the LpFTLs gene. Ectopic expression of Leucanthemum paludosumLpFTLs in Arabidopsis thaliana resulted in earlier flowering, indicating that the LpFTLs gene also affects the flowering time in L. paludosum. Compound expression of FTLs in C. morifolium × L. paludosum intergeneric hybridization directly leads to serious heterosis in the hybrid offspring. Moreover, continuous flowering appears to be accompanied by hybrid weakness under the balance of vegetative and reproductive growth. Therefore, in future studies on chrysanthemum breeding, a suitable balance point must be established to ensure the target flowering time under normal growth.

Abstract
Embryo abortion often occurs during distant hybridization events. Apetala 2/ethylene-responsive factor (AP2/ERF) proteins are key transcription factor (TF) regulators of plant development and stress resistance, but their roles in hybrid embryo development are poorly understood. In this study, we isolated a novel AP2/ERF TF, CmERF12, from chrysanthemum and show that it adversely affects embryo development during distant hybridization. Transcriptome and real-time quantitative PCR demonstrate that CmERF12 is expressed at significantly higher levels in aborted ovaries compared with normal ones. CmERF12 localizes to the cell nucleus and contains a conserved EAR motif that mediates its transcription repressor function in yeast and plant cells. We generated artificial microRNA (amiR) CmERF12 transgenic lines of Chrysanthemum morifolium var. 'Yuhualuoying' and conducted distant hybridization with the wild-type tetraploid, Chrysanthemum nankingense, and found that CmERF12-knock down significantly promoted embryo development and increased the seed-setting rates during hybridization. The expression of various genes related to embryo development was up-regulated in developing ovaries from the cross between female amiR-CmERF12 C. morifolium var. 'Yuhualuoying'× male C. nankingense. Furthermore, CmERF12 directly interacted with CmSUF4, which is known to affect flower development and embryogenesis, and significantly reduced its ability to activate its target gene CmEC1 (EGG CELL1). Our study provides a novel method to overcome barriers to distant hybridization in plants and reveals the mechanism by which CmERF12 negatively affects chrysanthemum embryo development.

Abstract
This study explores how allopolyploidization reshapes the biased expression and asymmetric epigenetic modification of homoeologous gene pairs, and examines the regulation types and epigenetic basis of expression bias. We analyzed the gene expression and four epigenetic modifications (DNA methylation, H3K4me3, H3K27me3 and H3K27ac) of 29 976 homoeologous gene pairs in resynthesized, natural allopolyploid Brassica napus and an in silico 'hybrid'. We comprehensively elucidated the biased gene expression, asymmetric epigenetic modifications and the generational transmission characteristics of these homoeologous gene pairs in B. napus. We analyzed cis/trans effects and the epigenetic basis of homoeolog expression bias. There was a significant positive correlation between two active histone modifications and biased gene expression. We revealed that parental legacy was the dominant principle in the remodeling of homoeolog expression bias and asymmetric epigenetic modifications in B. napus, and further clarified that this depends on whether there were differences in the expression/epigenetic modifications of gene pairs in parents/progenitors. The maternal genome was dominant in the homoeolog expression bias of resynthesized B. napus, and this phenomenon was attenuated in natural B. napus. Furthermore, cis rather than trans effects were dominant when epigenetic modifications potentially affected biased expression of gene pairs in B. napus.

Abstract
Polyploidization is a major driving force in plant evolution. Allopolyploidization, involving hybridization and genome doubling, can cause extensive transcriptome reprogramming which confers allopolyploids higher evolutionary potential than their diploid progenitors. To date, little is known about the interplay between hybridization and genome doubling in transcriptome reprogramming. Here, we performed genome-wide analyses of transcriptome reprogramming during allopolyploidization in wheat and brassica lineages. Our results indicated that hybridization-induced transcriptional and splicing changes of genes can be largely recovered to parental levels by genome doubling in allopolyploids. As transcriptome reprogramming is an important contributor to heterosis, our finding updates a longstanding theory that heterosis in interspecific hybrids can be permanently fixed through genome doubling. Our results also indicated that much of the transcriptome reprogramming in interspecific hybrids was not caused by the merging of two parental genomes, providing novel insights into the mechanisms underlying both heterosis and hybrid speciation.

Global Profiling of lncRNAs Expression Responsive to Allopolyploidization in Cucumis. Genes (Basel) 2020; 11:genes11121500.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical regulatory roles in various biological processes. However, the presence of lncRNAs and how they function in plant polyploidy are still largely unknown. Hence, we examined the profile of lncRNAs in a nascent allotetraploid Cucumis hytivus (S14), its diploid parents, and the F1 hybrid, to reveal the function of lncRNAs in plant-interspecific hybridization and whole genome duplication. Results showed that 2206 lncRNAs evenly transcribed from all 19 chromosomes were identified in C. hytivus, 44.6% of which were from intergenic regions. Based on the expression trend in allopolyploidization, we found that a high proportion of lncRNAs (94.6%) showed up-regulated expression to varying degrees following hybridization. However, few lncRNAs (33, 2.1%) were non-additively expressed after genome duplication, suggesting the significant effect of hybridization on lncRNAs, rather than genome duplication. Furthermore, 253 cis-regulated target genes were predicted for these differentially expressed lncRNAs in S14, which mainly participated in chloroplast biological regulation (e.g., chlorophyll synthesis and light harvesting system). Overall, this study provides new insight into the function of lncRNAs during the processes of hybridization and polyploidization in plant evolution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of biomass crops aims to meet industrial yield demands, in order to optimize profitability and sustainability. Achieving these goals in an energy crop like sugarcane relies on breeding for sucrose accumulation, fiber content and stalk number. To expand the understanding of the biological pathways related to these traits, we evaluated gene expression of two groups of genotypes contrasting in biomass composition. RESULTS First visible dewlap leaves were collected from 12 genotypes, six per group, to perform RNA-Seq. We found a high number of differentially expressed genes, showing how hybridization in a complex polyploid system caused extensive modifications in genome functioning. We found evidence that differences in transposition and defense related genes may arise due to the complex nature of the polyploid Saccharum genomes. Genotypes within both biomass groups showed substantial variability in genes involved in photosynthesis. However, most genes coding for photosystem components or those coding for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylases (PEPCs) were upregulated in the high biomass group. Sucrose synthase (SuSy) coding genes were upregulated in the low biomass group, showing that this enzyme class can be involved with sucrose synthesis in leaves, similarly to sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) and sucrose phosphate phosphatase (SPP). Genes in pathways related to biosynthesis of cell wall components and expansins coding genes showed low average expression levels and were mostly upregulated in the high biomass group. CONCLUSIONS Together, these results show differences in carbohydrate synthesis and carbon partitioning in the source tissue of distinct phenotypic groups. Our data from sugarcane leaves revealed how hybridization in a complex polyploid system resulted in noticeably different transcriptomic profiles between contrasting genotypes.

Abstract
Polyploidization is a universal phenomenon in plants and plays a crucial role in evolution. In this study, the transcriptomes of developing seeds of a synthetic Brassica hexaploid and its parents (B. rapa and B. carinata) were analyzed to find the gene expression changes in hexaploid seeds. There were 3166 and 3893 DEGs between the Brassica hexaploid and its parents at the full-size stage and mature stage, respectively, most of which were upregulated in hexaploid seeds compared to its parents. At the mature stage, the hexaploid seeds showed a greater difference from its parents. These DEGs had a wide range of functions, which may account for the physiological and morphological differences between the Brassica hexaploid and its parents. The KEGG pathway analysis revealed that hexaploid seeds had higher levels of expression of genes involved in metabolic pathways, RNA transport and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, and the expression levels in the photosynthesis-related pathways were significantly higher than those in B. rapa. Transgressive expression was the main non-additive expression pattern of the Brassica hexaploid. The gene expression difference between the Brassica hexaploid and its paternal parent was more significant than that with its maternal parent, which may be due in part to the cytoplasmic and maternal effects. Moreover, transcription factor genes, such as G2-like, MYB and mTERF, were highly expressed in hexaploid seeds, possibly promoting their resistance to stress. Our results may provide valuable insights into the adaptation mechanisms of polyploid plants.

Abstract
Chrysanthemum is frequently attacked by aphids, which greatly hinders the growth and ornamental value of this plant species. WRKY transcription factors play an important role in the response to biotic stresses such as pathogen and insect stresses. Here, chrysanthemum CmWRKY53 was cloned, and its expression was induced by aphid infestation. To verify the role of CmWRKY53 in resistance to aphids, CmWRKY53 transgenic chrysanthemum was generated. CmWRKY53 was found to mediate the susceptibility of chrysanthemum to aphids. The expression levels of secondary metabolite biosynthesis genes, such as peroxidase- and polyphenol oxidase-encoding genes, decreased in CmWRKY53-overexpressing (CmWRKY53-Oe) plants but dramatically increased in chimeric dominant repressor (CmWRKY53-SRDX) plants, suggesting that CmWRKY53 contributes to the susceptibility of chrysanthemum to aphids, possibly due to its role in the regulation of secondary metabolites.
