Yu Z, Li J, Wang H, Ping B, Li X, Liu Z, Guo B, Yu Q, Zou Y, Sun Y, Ma F, Zhao T. Transposable elements in Rosaceae: insights into genome evolution, expression dynamics, and syntenic gene regulation. HORTICULTURE RESEARCH 2024; 11:uhae118. [PMID: 38919560 PMCID: PMC11197308 DOI: 10.1093/hr/uhae118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
Transposable elements (TEs) exert significant influence on plant genomic structure and gene expression. Here, we explored TE-related aspects across 14 Rosaceae genomes, investigating genomic distribution, transposition activity, expression patterns, and nearby differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Analyses unveiled distinct long terminal repeat retrotransposon (LTR-RT) evolutionary patterns, reflecting varied genome size changes among nine species over the past million years. In the past 2.5 million years, Rubus idaeus showed a transposition rate twice as fast as Fragaria vesca, while Pyrus bretschneideri displayed significantly faster transposition compared with Crataegus pinnatifida. Genes adjacent to recent TE insertions were linked to adversity resistance, while those near previous insertions were functionally enriched in morphogenesis, enzyme activity, and metabolic processes. Expression analysis revealed diverse responses of LTR-RTs to internal or external conditions. Furthermore, we identified 3695 pairs of syntenic DEGs proximal to TEs in Malus domestica cv. 'Gala' and M. domestica (GDDH13), suggesting TE insertions may contribute to varietal trait differences in these apple varieties. Our study across representative Rosaceae species underscores the pivotal role of TEs in plant genome evolution within this diverse family. It elucidates how these elements regulate syntenic DEGs on a genome-wide scale, offering insights into Rosaceae-specific genomic evolution.

Alsuhaimi NM, Al-Kaff NS. Molecular insights into the VIRESCENS amino acid sequence and its implication in anthocyanin production in red- and yellow-fruited cultivars of date palm. Sci Rep 2023; 13:20688. [PMID: 38001227 PMCID: PMC10673830 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-47604-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
This study examined the amino acid sequence of the VIRESCENS gene (VIR), which regulates the production of anthocyanin in 12 cultivars of the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), grown in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The gene products were amplified via polymerase chain reactions, amplifying both exons and introns. The products were sequenced for the reconstruction of a phylogenetic tree, which used the associated amino acid sequences. The ripening stages of Khalal, Rutab, and Tamar varied among the cultivars. Regarding VIR genotype, the red date had the wild-type gene (VIR+), while the yellow date carried a dominant mutation (VIRIM), i.e., long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs). The DNA sequence of VIRIM revealed that the insertion length of the LTR-RTs ranged between 386 and 476 bp. The R2 and R3 motifs in both VIR+ and VIRIM were conserved. The C-terminus motifs S6A, S6B, and S6C were found in the VIR+ protein sequence. However, the amino acids at positions 123, 161, 166, and 168 differed between VIR+ and VIRIM, and were not included in the C-terminus motifs. Within the VIR+ allele, the lysine at position 187 in the C-terminus was located immediately after S6B, with a protein binding score of 0.3, which was unique to the dark, red-fruited cultivars Ajwah, Anbarah, and Safawi. In the lighter, red-fruited cultivars, the presence of glutamic acid at the same position suggested that the anthocyanin regulation of date palm might be outside the R2 and R3 domains in the N-terminus.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1232588. [PMID: 37868307 PMCID: PMC10587573 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1232588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023]
Abstract
Introduction The garden petunia, Petunia hybrida (Solanaceae) is a fertile, diploid, annual hybrid species (2n=14) originating from P. axillaris and P. inflata 200 years ago. To understand the recent evolution of the P. hybrida genome, we examined tandemly repeated or satellite sequences using bioinformatic and molecular cytogenetic analysis. Methods Raw reads from available genomic assemblies and survey sequences of P. axillaris N (PaxiN), P. inflata S6, (PinfS6), P. hybrida (PhybR27) and the here sequenced P. parodii S7 (PparS7) were used for graph and k-mer based cluster analysis of TAREAN and RepeatExplorer. Analysis of repeat specific monomer lengths and sequence heterogeneity of the major tandem repeat families with more than 0.01% genome proportion were complemented by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) using consensus sequences as probes to chromosomes of all four species. Results Seven repeat families, PSAT1, PSAT3, PSAT4, PSAT5 PSAT6, PSAT7 and PSAT8, shared high consensus sequence similarity and organisation between the four genomes. Additionally, many degenerate copies were present. FISH in P. hybrida and in the three wild petunias confirmed the bioinformatics data and gave corresponding signals on all or some chromosomes. PSAT1 is located at the ends of all chromosomes except the 45S rDNA bearing short arms of chromosomes II and III, and we classify it as a telomere associated sequence (TAS). It is the most abundant satellite repeat with over 300,000 copies, 0.2% of the genomes. PSAT3 and the variant PSAT7 are located adjacent to the centromere or mid-arm of one to three chromosome pairs. PSAT5 has a strong signal at the end of the short arm of chromosome III in P. axillaris and P.inflata, while in P. hybrida additional interstitial sites were present. PSAT6 is located at the centromeres of chromosomes II and III. PSAT4 and PSAT8 were found with only short arrays. Discussion These results demonstrate that (i) repeat families occupy distinct niches within chromosomes, (ii) they differ in the copy number, cluster organization and homogenization events, and that (iii) the recent genome hybridization in breeding P. hybrida preserved the chromosomal position of repeats but affected the copy number of repetitive DNA.

Retrotransposons: How the continuous evolutionary front shapes plant genomes for response to heat stress. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:1064847.

Abstract
Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR retrotransposons) are the most abundant group of mobile genetic elements in eukaryotic genomes and are essential in organizing genomic architecture and phenotypic variations. The diverse families of retrotransposons are related to retroviruses. As retrotransposable elements are dispersed and ubiquitous, their "copy-out and paste-in" life cycle of replicative transposition leads to new genome insertions without the excision of the original element. The overall structure of retrotransposons and the domains responsible for the various phases of their replication is highly conserved in all eukaryotes. The two major superfamilies of LTR retrotransposons, Ty1/Copia and Ty3/Gypsy, are distinguished and dispersed across the chromosomes of higher plants. Members of these superfamilies can increase in copy number and are often activated by various biotic and abiotic stresses due to retrotransposition bursts. LTR retrotransposons are important drivers of species diversity and exhibit great variety in structure, size, and mechanisms of transposition, making them important putative actors in genome evolution. Additionally, LTR retrotransposons influence the gene expression patterns of adjacent genes by modulating potential small interfering RNA (siRNA) and RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathways. Furthermore, comparative and evolutionary analysis of the most important crop genome sequences and advanced technologies have elucidated the epigenetics and structural and functional modifications driven by LTR retrotransposon during speciation. However, mechanistic insights into LTR retrotransposons remain obscure in plant development due to a lack of advancement in high throughput technologies. In this review, we focus on the key role of LTR retrotransposons response in plants during heat stress, the role of centromeric LTR retrotransposons, and the role of LTR retrotransposon markers in genome expression and evolution.

Comparative Analysis of Transposable Elements and the Identification of Candidate Centromeric Elements in the Prunus Subgenus Cerasus and Its Relatives. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13040641. [PMID: 35456447 PMCID: PMC9028240 DOI: 10.3390/genes13040641] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 03/29/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
The subgenus Cerasus and its relatives include many crucial economic drupe fruits and ornamental plants. Repetitive elements make up a large part of complex genomes, and some of them play an important role in gene regulation that can affect phenotypic variation. However, the variation in their genomes remains poorly understood. This work conducted a comprehensive repetitive sequence identification across the draft genomes of eight taxa of the genus Prunus, including four of the Prunus subgenus Cerasus (Prunus pseudocerasus, P. avium, P. yedoensis and P. × yedoensis) as well as congeneric species (Prunus salicina, P. armeniaca, P. dulcis and P. persica). Annotation results showed high proportions of transposable elements in their genomes, ranging from 52.28% (P. armeniaca) to 61.86% (P. pseudocerasus). The most notable differences in the contents of long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) and tandem repeats (TRs) were confirmed with de novo identification based on the structure of each genome, which significantly contributed to their genome size variation, especially in P. avium and P.salicina. Sequence comparisons showed many similar LTR-RTs closely related to their phylogenetic relationships, and a highly similar monomer unit of the TR sequence was conserved among species. Additionally, the predicted centromere-associated sequence was located in centromeric regions with FISH in the 12 taxa of Prunus. It presented significantly different signal intensities, even within the diverse interindividual phenotypes for Prunus tomentosa. This study provides insight into the LTR-RT and TR variation within Prunus and increases our knowledge about its role in genome evolution.

Molecular and Cytogenetic Analysis of rDNA Evolution in Crepis Sensu Lato. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23073643.

Abstract
Although Crepis was the first model plant group in which chromosomal changes were considered to play an important role in speciation, their chromosome structure and evolution have been barely investigated using molecular cytogenetic methods. The aim of the study was to provide a better understanding of the patterns and directions of Crepis chromosome evolution, using comparative analyses of rDNA loci number and localisation. The chromosome base number and chromosomal organisation of 5S and 35S rDNA loci were analysed in the phylogenetic background for 39 species of Crepis, which represent the evolutionary lineages of Crepis sensu stricto and Lagoseris, including Lapsana communis. The phylogenetic relationships among all the species were inferred from nrITS and newly obtained 5S rDNA NTS sequences. Despite high variations in rDNA loci chromosomal organisation, most species had a chromosome with both rDNA loci within the same (usually short) chromosomal arm. The comparative analyses revealed several independent rDNA loci number gains and loci repositioning that accompanied diversification and speciation in Crepis. Some of the changes in rDNA loci patterns were reconstructed for the same evolutionary lineages as descending dysploidy.

Abstract
Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) contribute a large fraction of many sequenced plant genomes and play important roles in genomic diversity and phenotypic variations. LTR-RTs are abundantly distributed in plant genomes, facilitating the development of markers based on LTR-RTs for a variety of genotyping purposes. Whole-genome analysis of LTR-RTs was performed in Cleistogenes songorica. A total of 299,079 LTR-RTs were identified and classified as Gypsy type, Copia type, or other type. LTR-RTs were widely distributed in the genome, enriched in the heterochromatic region of the chromosome, and negatively correlated with gene distribution. However, approximately one-fifth of genes were still interrupted by LTR-RTs, and these genes are annotated. Furthermore, four types of primer pairs (PPs) were designed, namely, retrotransposon-based insertion polymorphisms, inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphisms, insertion site-based polymorphisms, and retrotransposon-microsatellite amplified polymorphisms. A total of 350 PPs were screened in 23 accessions of the genus Cleistogenes, of which 80 PPs showed polymorphism, and 72 PPs showed transferability among Gramineae and non-Gramineae species. In addition, a comparative analysis of homologous LTR-RTs was performed with other related grasses. Taken together, the study will serve as a valuable resource for genotyping applications for C. songorica and related grasses.

Abstract
The activity of genome-specific repetitive sequences is the main cause of genome variation between Gossypium A and D genomes. Through comparative analysis of the two genomes, we retrieved a repetitive element termed ICRd motif, which appears frequently in the diploid Gossypium raimondii (D5) genome but rarely in the diploid Gossypium arboreum (A2) genome. We further explored the existence of the ICRd motif in chromosomes of G. raimondii, G. arboreum, and two tetraploid (AADD) cotton species, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense, by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and observed that the ICRd motif exists in the D5 and D-subgenomes but not in the A2 and A-subgenomes. The ICRd motif comprises two components, a variable tandem repeat (TR) region and a conservative sequence (CS). The two constituents each have hundreds of repeats that evenly distribute across 13 chromosomes of the D5genome. The ICRd motif (and its repeats) was revealed as the common conservative region harbored by ancient Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposons. Identification and investigation of the ICRd motif promotes the study of A and D genome differences, facilitates research on Gossypium genome evolution, and provides assistance to subgenome identification and genome assembling.

The activity of genome-specific repetitive sequences is the main cause of genome variation between Gossypium A and D genomes. Through comparative analysis of the two genomes, we retrieved a repetitive element termed ICRd motif, which appears frequently in the diploid Gossypium raimondii (D5) genome but rarely in the diploid Gossypium arboreum (A2) genome. We further explored the existence of the ICRd motif in chromosomes of G. raimondii, G. arboreum, and two tetraploid (AADD) cotton species, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense, by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and observed that the ICRd motif exists in the D5 and D-subgenomes but not in the A2 and A-subgenomes. The ICRd motif comprises two components, a variable tandem repeat (TR) region and a conservative sequence (CS). The two constituents each have hundreds of repeats that evenly distribute across 13 chromosomes of the D5genome. The ICRd motif (and its repeats) was revealed as the common conservative region harbored by ancient Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposons. Identification and investigation of the ICRd motif promotes the study of A and D genome differences, facilitates research on Gossypium genome evolution, and provides assistance to subgenome identification and genome assembling.

Tang M, Wu X, Cao Y, Qin Y, Ding M, Jiang Y, Sun C, Zhang H, Paterson AH, Rong J. Preferential insertion of a Ty1 LTR-retrotransposon into the A sub-genome's HD1 gene significantly correlated with the reduction in stem trichomes of tetraploid cotton. Mol Genet Genomics 2019; 295:47-54.

Abstract
Stem trichomes and seed fibers originate from epidermal cells and partially share a regulatory pathway at the molecular level. In Gossypium barbadense, two insertions of a Ty1 long-terminal repeat-retrotransposon [transposable element TE1 and TE2] in a homeodomain-leucine zipper gene (HD1) result in glabrous stems. The primers used to identify the TE insertions in G. barbadense were applied to screen for the same events in 81 modern G. hirsutum varieties and 31 wild races. Three wild races were found carrying the same TEs as G. barbadense. However, the TE insertions in two of these wild races occurred at different sites (4th exon), therefore, named TE3, while the TE in the other wild race occurred at the same site as TE2. An RNA sequencing and qRT-PCR analysis indicated that the loss of HD1 function was caused by the TE insertion. Genetic mapping revealed a strong association between glabrous stems and TE3 insertions, confirming that HD1 is a critical gene for stem trichome initiation in G. hirsutum, as in G. barbadense. Using the long-terminal repeat sequence as a query to search against the Texas Marker-1 reference genome sequence, we found that the TE occurred after tetraploid cotton formation and evolved at different rates in G. hirsutum and G. barbadense. Interestingly, at least three independent insertion events of the same retrotransposon occurred preferentially in the A sub-genome's HD1 gene, but not in the D sub-genome of G. hirsutum or G. barbadense, suggesting that an unknown TE insertion mechanism and resultant gene function changes may have hastened cotton speciation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A large proportion of eukaryote nuclear genomes is composed of repetitive DNA. Tracing the dynamics of repetitive elements in the genomes of related taxa can reveal important information about their phylogenic relationships as well as traits that have become distinct to a lineage. OBJECTIVE Study the genomic abundance and chromosomal location of repetitive DNA in Capsicum annuum L. to understand the repeat dynamics. METHOD We quantified repeated DNA content in the C. annuum genome using the RepeatExplorer pipeline. RESULTS About 42% of the C. annuum genome dataset comprised repetitive elements. Of these, 0.011, 0.98, 3.09, and 0.024% represented high and low confidence satellite repeats, putative long-terminal repeats (LTRs), and rDNA sequences, respectively. One novel high confidence 167-bp satellite repeat with a genomic proportion of 0.011%, Ca167TR, was identified. Furthermore, FISH with Ca167TR on metaphase chromosomes of C. annuum revealed signals in the subtelomeric regions of the short and long arms of chromosome 3 and 4, respectively. CONCLUSION Further understanding of the origin and associated functions of Ca167TR and other repeats in Capsicum will give us insights into the genomic relationships and functions of the genome.
