Abstract
Kinesin is a kind of motor protein, which interacts with microtubule filaments and regulates cellulose synthesis. Cotton fiber is a natural model for studying the cellular development and cellulose synthesis. Therefore, a systematic research of kinesin gene family in cotton (Gossypium spp.) will be beneficial for both understanding the function of kinesin protein and assisting the fiber improvement. Here, we aimed to identify the key kinesin genes present in cotton by combining genome-wide expression profile data, association mapping, and public quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in upland cotton (G. hirsutum L.). Results showed that 159 kinesin genes, including 15 genes of the kinesin-13 gene subfamily, were identified in upland cotton; of which 157 kinesin genes can be traced back to the diploid ancestors, G. raimondii and G. arboreum. Using a combined analysis of public QTLs and genome-wide expression profile information, there were 29 QTLs co-localized together with 28 kinesin genes in upland cotton, including 10 kinesin-13 subfamily genes. Genome-wide expression profile data indicated that, among the 28 co-localized genes, seven kinesin genes were predominantly expressed in fibers or ovules. By association mapping analysis, 30 kinesin genes were significantly associated with three fiber traits, among which a kinesin-13 gene, Ghir_A11G028430, was found to be associated with both cotton boll length and lint weight, and one kinesin-7 gene, Ghir_D04G017880 (Gh_Kinesin7), was significantly associated with fiber strength. In addition, two missense mutations were identified in the motor domain of the Gh_Kinesin7 protein. Overall, the kinesin gene family seemingly plays an important role in cotton fiber and boll development. The exploited kinesin genes will be beneficial for the genetic improvement of fiber quality and yield.

Comparative morphoanatomy and transcriptomic analyses reveal key factors controlling floral trichome development in Aristolochia (Aristolochiaceae). JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BOTANY 2023; 74:6588-6607.

Abstract
Trichomes are specialized epidermal cells in aerial plant parts. Trichome development proceeds in three stages, determination of cell fate, specification, and morphogenesis. Most genes responsible for these processes have been identified in the unicellular branched leaf trichomes from the model Arabidopsis thaliana. Less is known about the molecular basis of multicellular trichome formation across flowering plants, especially those formed in floral organs of early diverging angiosperms. Here, we aim to identify the genetic regulatory network (GRN) underlying multicellular trichome development in the kettle-shaped trap flowers of Aristolochia (Aristolochiaceae). We selected two taxa for comparison, A. fimbriata, with trichomes inside the perianth, which play critical roles in pollination, and A. macrophylla, lacking specialized trichomes in the perianth. A detailed morphoanatomical characterization of floral epidermis is presented for the two species. We compared transcriptomic profiling at two different developmental stages in the different perianth portions (limb, tube, and utricle) of the two species. Moreover, we present a comprehensive expression map for positive regulators and repressors of trichome development, as well as cell cycle regulators. Our data point to extensive modifications in gene composition, expression, and putative roles in all functional categories when compared with model species. We also record novel differentially expressed genes (DEGs) linked to epidermis patterning and trichome development. We thus propose the first hypothetical genetic regulatory network (GRN) underlying floral multicellular trichome development in Aristolochia, and pinpoint key factors responsible for the presence and specialization of floral trichomes in phylogenetically distant species of the genus.

Abstract
In plants, although KNOX genes are known to regulate secondary cell wall (SCW) formation, their protein-regulating mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we showed that GhKNL1, which regulates SCW formation and fiber development in cotton, could interact with an IQ67 domain containing protein (GhIQD14) in yeast. Confocal observation showed that GhIQD14 was localized to the microtubules. In Arabidopsis, ectopic expression of GhIQD14 caused hypocotyls to be sensitive to microtubule depolymerization agent, organ twisting of seedlings, trichomes, rosette leaves, and capsules, as well as severely irregular xylem vessels and thicker interfascicular fiber cell walls in the inflorescence stem. Furthermore, we found that GhIQD14 interacted with AtKNAT7 in vivo, and instantaneous co-expression of GhIQD14 and AtKNAT7 in tobacco showed that GhIQD14 weakened the distribution of AtKNAT7 in the nucleus, bringing it into the microtubules, thus affecting the SCW formation related genes expression. Our results suggested that GhIQD14 might be involved in the morphological development and SCW formation in cotton.

Molecular evidence of the avocado defense response to Fusarium kuroshium infection: a deep transcriptome analysis using RNA-Seq. PeerJ 2021; 9:e11215. [PMID: 33954045 PMCID: PMC8052963 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.11215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2020] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Fusarium kuroshium is a novel member of the Ambrosia Fusarium Clade (AFC) that has been recognized as one of the symbionts of the invasive Kuroshio shot hole borer, an Asian ambrosia beetle. This complex is considered the causal agent of Fusarium dieback, a disease that has severely threatened natural forests, landscape trees, and avocado orchards in the last 8 years. Despite the interest in this species, the molecular responses of both the host and F. kuroshium during the infection process and disease establishment remain unknown. In this work, we established an in vitro pathosystem using Hass avocado stems inoculated with F. kuroshium to investigate differential gene expression at 1, 4, 7 and 14 days post-inoculation. RNA-seq technology allowed us to obtain data from both the plant and the fungus, and the sequences obtained from both organisms were analyzed independently. The pathosystem established was able to mimic Fusarium dieback symptoms, such as carbohydrate exudation, necrosis, and vascular tissue discoloration. The results provide interesting evidence regarding the genes that may play roles in the avocado defense response to Fusarium dieback disease. The avocado data set comprised a coding sequence collection of 51,379 UniGenes, from which 2,403 (4.67%) were identified as differentially expressed. The global expression analysis showed that F. kuroshium responsive UniGenes can be clustered into six groups according to their expression profiles. The biologically relevant functional categories that were identified included photosynthesis as well as responses to stress, hormones, abscisic acid, and water deprivation. Additionally, processes such as oxidation-reduction, organization and biogenesis of the cell wall and polysaccharide metabolism were detected. Moreover, we identified orthologues of nucleotide-binding leucine-rich receptors, and their possible action mode was analyzed. In F. kuroshium, we identified 57 differentially expressed genes. Interestingly, the alcohol metabolic process biological category had the highest number of upregulated genes, and the enzyme group in this category may play an important role in the mechanisms of secondary metabolite detoxification. Hydrolytic enzymes, such as endoglucanases and a pectate lyase, were also identified, as well as some proteases. In conclusion, our research was conducted mainly to explain how the vascular tissue of a recognized host of the ambrosia complex responds during F. kuroshium infection since Fusarium dieback is an ambrosia beetle-vectored disease and many variables facilitate its establishment.

Transcriptome analysis and identification of genes associated with fruiting branch internode elongation in upland cotton. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2019; 19:415. [PMID: 31590649 PMCID: PMC6781417 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-019-2011-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2019] [Accepted: 08/30/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Appropriate plant architecture can improve the amount of cotton boll opening and allow increased planting density, thus increasing the level of cotton mechanical harvesting and cotton yields. The internodes of cotton fruiting branches are an important part of cotton plant architecture. Thus, studying the molecular mechanism of internode elongation in cotton fruiting branches is highly important. RESULTS In this study, we selected internodes of cotton fruiting branches at three different stages from two cultivars whose internode lengths differed significantly. A total of 76,331 genes were detected by transcriptome sequencing. By KEGG pathway analysis, we found that DEGs were significantly enriched in the plant hormone signal transduction pathway. The transcriptional data and qRT-PCR results showed that members of the GH3 gene family, which are involved in auxin signal transduction, and CKX enzymes, which can reduce the level of CKs, were highly expressed in the cultivar XLZ77, which has relatively short internodes. Genes related to ethylene synthase (ACS), EIN2/3 and ERF in the ethylene signal transduction pathway and genes related to JAR1, COI1 and MYC2 in the JA signal transduction pathway were also highly expressed in XLZ77. Plant hormone determination results showed that the IAA and CK contents significantly decreased in cultivar XLZ77 compared with those in cultivar L28, while the ACC (the precursor of ethylene) and JA contents significantly increased. GO enrichment analysis revealed that the GO categories associated with promoting cell elongation, such as cell division, the cell cycle process and cell wall organization, were significantly enriched, and related genes were highly expressed in L28. However, genes related to the sphingolipid metabolic process and lignin biosynthetic process, whose expression can affect cell elongation, were highly expressed in XLZ77. In addition, 2067 TFs were differentially expressed. The WRKY, ERF and bHLH TF families were the top three largest families whose members were active in the two varieties, and the expression levels of most of the genes encoding these TFs were upregulated in XLZ77. CONCLUSIONS Auxin and CK are positive regulators of internode elongation in cotton branches. In contrast, ethylene and JA may act as negative regulators of internode elongation in cotton branches. Furthermore, the WRKY, ERF and bHLH TFs were identified as important inhibitors of internode elongation in cotton. In XLZ77(a short-internode variety), the mass synthesis of ethylene and amino acid conjugation of auxin led to the inhibition of plant cell elongation, while an increase in JA content and degradation of CKs led to a slow rate of cell division, which eventually resulted in a phenotype that presented relatively short internodes on the fruiting branches. The results of this study not only provide gene resources for the genetic improvement of cotton plant architecture but also lay a foundation for improved understanding of the molecular mechanism of the internode elongation of cotton branches.

Abstract
RB-GRP (RNA-binding Glycine-rich protein gene) family belongs to the fourth subfamily of the GRP (Glycine-rich protein gene) superfamily, which plays a great role in plant growth and development, as well as in abiotic stresses response, while it has not been identified in cotton. Here, we identified 37 and 32 RB-GRPs from two cotton species (Gossypium arboreum and Gossypium raimondii, respectively), which were divided into four distinct subfamilies based on the presence of additional motifs and the arrangement of the glycine repeats. The distribution of RB-GRPs was nonrandom and uneven among the chromosomes both in two cotton species. The expansion of RB-GRP gene family between two cultivars was mainly attributed to segmental and tandem duplication events indicated by synteny analysis, and the tandem duplicated genes were mapped into homologous collinear blocks, indicated that they shared a common ancestral gene in both species. Furthermore, most RB-GRPs in two cotton species undergone stronger negative selective pressure by evolutionary analysis of RB-GRP orthologous genes. Meanwhile, RB-GRPs participated in different abiotic stresses (Abscisic acid, salt and Polyethylene glycol) responses and tissues at different developmental stages between two cotton species were showed by gene expression analysis. This research would provide insight into the evolution and function of the RB-GRPs in Gossypium species.
