Examination of the Expression Profile of Resistance Genes in Yuanjiang Common Wild Rice ( Oryza rufipogon). Genes (Basel) 2024; 15:924. [PMID: 39062703 PMCID: PMC11275508 DOI: 10.3390/genes15070924] [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: 06/13/2024] [Revised: 07/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The rice blight poses a significant threat to the rice industry, and the discovery of disease-resistant genes is a crucial strategy for its control. By exploring the rich genetic resources of Yuanjiang common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon) and analyzing their expression patterns, genetic resources can be provided for molecular rice breeding. The target genes' expression patterns, subcellular localization, and interaction networks were analyzed based on the annotated disease-resistant genes on the 9th and 10th chromosomes in the rice genome database using fluorescent quantitative PCR technology and bioinformatics tools. Thirty-three disease-resistant genes were identified from the database, including 20 on the 9th and 13 on the 10th. These genes were categorized into seven subfamilies of the NLR family, such as CNL and the G subfamily of the ABC family. Four genes were not expressed under the induction of the pathogen Y8, two genes were significantly down-regulated, and the majority were up-regulated. Notably, the expression levels of nine genes belonging to the ABCG, CN, and CNL classes were significantly up-regulated, yet the expression levels varied among roots, stems, and leaves; one was significantly expressed in the roots, one in the stems, and the remaining seven were primarily highly expressed in the leaves. Two interaction network diagrams were predicted based on the seven highly expressed genes in the leaves: complex networks regulated by CNL proteins and specific networks controlled by ABCG proteins. The disease-resistant genes on the 9th chromosome are actively expressed in response to the induction of rice blight, forming a critical gene pool for the resistance of Yuanjiang common wild rice (O. rufipogon) to rice blight. Meanwhile, the disease-resistant genes on the 10th chromosome not only participate in resisting the rice blight pathogen but may also be involved in the defense against other stem diseases.

Comparative genomics and bioinformatics approaches revealed the role of CC-NBS-LRR genes under multiple stresses in passion fruit. Front Genet 2024; 15:1358134. [PMID: 38476402 PMCID: PMC10929019 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2024.1358134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Passion fruit is widely cultivated in tropical, subtropical regions of the world. The attack of bacterial and fungal diseases, and environmental factors heavily affect the yield and productivity of the passion fruit. The CC-NBS-LRR (CNL) gene family being a subclass of R-genes protects the plant against the attack of pathogens and plays a major role in effector-triggered immunity (ETI). However, no information is available regarding this gene family in passion fruit. To address the underlying problem a total of 25 and 21 CNL genes have been identified in the genome of purple (Passiflora edulis Sims.) and yellow (Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa) passion fruit respectively. Phylogenetic tree was divided into four groups with PeCNLs present in 3 groups only. Gene structure analysis revealed that number of exons ranged from 1 to 9 with 1 being most common. Most of the PeCNL genes were clustered at the chromosome 3 and underwent strong purifying selection, expanded through segmental (17 gene pairs) and tandem duplications (17 gene pairs). PeCNL genes contained cis-elements involved in plant growth, hormones, and stress response. Transcriptome data indicated that PeCNL3, PeCNL13, and PeCNL14 were found to be differentially expressed under Cucumber mosaic virus and cold stress. Three genes were validated to be multi-stress responsive by applying Random Forest model of machine learning. To comprehend the biological functions of PeCNL proteins, their 3D structure and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis were done. Our research analyzed the CNL gene family in passion fruit to understand stress regulation and improve resilience. This study lays the groundwork for future investigations aimed at enhancing the genetic composition of passion fruit to ensure robust growth and productivity in challenging environments.

Genome-wide identification and characterization of NBLRR genes in finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) and their expression in response to Magnaporthe grisea infection. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 24:75. [PMID: 38281915 PMCID: PMC10823742 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-024-04743-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The nucleotide binding site leucine rich repeat (NBLRR) genes significantly regulate defences against phytopathogens in plants. The genome-wide identification and analysis of NBLRR genes have been performed in several species. However, the detailed evolution, structure, expression of NBLRRs and functional response to Magnaporthe grisea are unknown in finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.). RESULTS The genome-wide scanning of the finger millet genome resulted in 116 NBLRR (EcNBLRRs1-116) encompassing 64 CC-NB-LRR, 47 NB-LRR and 5 CCR-NB-LRR types. The evolutionary studies among the NBLRRs of five Gramineae species, viz., purple false brome (Brachypodium distachyon (L.) P.Beauv.), finger millet (E. coracana), rice (Oryza sativa L.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. (Moench)) and foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) P.Beauv.) showed the evolution of NBLRRs in the ancestral lineage of the target species and subsequent divergence through gene-loss events. The purifying selection (Ka/Ks < 1) shaped the expansions of NBLRRs paralogs in finger millet and orthologs among the target Gramineae species. The promoter sequence analysis showed various stress- and phytohormone-responsive cis-acting elements besides growth and development, indicating their potential role in disease defence and regulatory mechanisms. The expression analysis of 22 EcNBLRRs in the genotypes showing contrasting responses to Magnaporthe grisea infection revealed four and five EcNBLRRs in early and late infection stages, respectively. The six of these nine candidate EcNBLRRs proteins, viz., EcNBLRR21, EcNBLRR26, EcNBLRR30, EcNBLRR45, EcNBLRR55 and EcNBLRR76 showed CC, NB and LRR domains, whereas the EcNBLRR23, EcNBLRR32 and EcNBLRR83 showed NB and LRR somains. CONCLUSION The identification and expression analysis of EcNBLRRs showed the role of EcNBLRR genes in assigning blast resistance in finger millet. These results pave the foundation for in-depth and targeted functional analysis of EcNBLRRs through genome editing and transgenic approaches.

Gene 2023; 854:147117. [PMID: 36526123 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2022.147117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The NBS-LRR (nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat gene) gene family, known as the plant R (resistance) gene family with the most members, plays a significant role in plant resistance to various external adversity stresses. The NBS-LRR gene family has been researched in many plant species. Citrus is one of the most vital global cash crops, the number one fruit group, and the third most traded agricultural product world wild. However, as one of the largest citrus species, a comprehensive study of the NBS-LRR gene family has not been reported on sweet oranges. METHODS In this study, NBS-LRR genes were identified from the Citrus sinensis genome (v3.0), with a comprehensive analysis of this gene family performed, including phylogenetic analysis, gene structure, cis-acting element of a promoter, and chromosomal localization, among others. The expression pattern of NBS-LRR genes was analyzed when sweet orange fruits were infected by Penicillium digitatum, employing experimental data from our research group. It first reported the expression patterns of NBS-LRR genes under abiotic stresses, using three transcript data from NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information). RESULTS In this study, 111 NBS-LRR genes were identified in the C. sinensis genome (v3.0) and classified into seven subfamilies according to their N-terminal and C-terminal domains. The phylogenetic tree results indicate that genes containing only the NBS structural domain are more ancient in the sweet orange NBS-LRR gene family. The chromosome localization results showed that 111 NBS-LRR genes were distributed unevenly on nine chromosomes, with the most genes distributed on chromosome 1. In addition, we identified a total of 18 tandem duplication gene pairs in the sweet orange NBS-LRR gene family, and based on the Ka/Ks ratio, all of the tandem duplication genes underwent purifying selection. Transcriptome data analysis showed a significant number of NBS-LRR genes expressed under biotic and abiotic stresses, and some reached significantly different levels of expression. It indicates that the NBS-LRR gene family is vital in resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses in sweet oranges. CONCLUSION Our study provides the first comprehensive framework on the NBS-LRR family of genes, which provides a basis for further in-depth studies on the biological functions of NBS-LRR in growth, development, and response to abiotic stresses in sweet orange.

Abstract
Medicago ruthenica, important forage in the legume family, possesses high nutritional value and carries abundant tolerance genes. This study used whole-genome data of M. ruthenica to perform a genome-wide analysis of the nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat receptor (NLR) gene family, which is the largest family of plant disease resistance genes (R genes). A total of 338 NLR genes were identified in the M. ruthenica genome, including 160 typical genes that contained 80 coiled-coil (CC)-NBS-LRR (CNL) genes, 76 toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR)-NBS-LRR (TNL) genes, four resistance to powdery mildew 8 (RPW8)-NBS-LRR (RNL) subclass genes, and 178 atypical NLR genes encoding proteins without at least one important domain. Among its eight chromosomes, M. ruthenica chromosomes 3 and 8 contained most of the NLR genes. More than 40% of all NLR genes were located on these two chromosomes, mainly in multigene clusters. The NLR proteins of M. ruthenica had six highly conserved motifs: P-loop, GLPL, RNBS-D, kinase-2, RNBS-C, and MHDV. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the NLR genes of M. ruthenica formed three deeply separated clades according to the N-terminal domain of the proteins encoded by these genes. Gene duplication and syntenic analysis suggested four gene duplication types in the NLR genes of M. ruthenica, namely, tandem, proximal, dispersed, and segmental duplicates, which involved 189, 49, 59, and 41 genes, respectively. A total of 41 segmental duplication genes formed 23 NLR gene pairs located on syntenic chromosomal blocks mainly between chromosomes 6 and 7. In addition, syntenic analysis between M. truncatula and M. ruthenica revealed 193 gene pairs located on syntenic chromosomal blocks of the two species. The expression analysis of M. ruthenica NLR genes showed that 303 (89.6%) of the NLR genes were expressed in different varieties. Overall, this study described the full NLR profile of the M. ruthenica genome to provide an important resource for mining disease-resistant genes and disease-resistant breeding.

Molecular and cytogenetic dissection of stripe rust resistance gene Yr83 from rye 6R and generation of resistant germplasm in wheat breeding. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:1035784.

Abstract
Rye 6R-derived stripe rust resistance gene Yr83 in wheat background was physically mapped to fraction length (FL) 0.87-1.00 on the long arm by non-denaturing-fluorescence in situ hybridization (ND-FISH), Oligo-FISH painting and 6R-specific PCR markers.Stripe rust resistance gene Yr83 derived from chromosome 6R of rye (Secale cereale) "Merced" has displayed high resistance to both Australian and Chinese wheat stripe rust isolates. With the aim to physically map Yr83 to a more precise region, new wheat- 6R deletion and translocation lines were produced from derived progenies of the 6R(6D) substitution line. The non-denaturing fluorescence in situ hybridization (ND-FISH) patterns of 6R were established to precisely characterize the variations of 6R in different wheat backgrounds. Comparative ND-FISH analysis localized the breakpoints of 6RL chromosomes relative to Oligo-pSc200 and Oligo-pSc119.2 rich sites in deletion lines. Molecular marker and resistance analyses confirmed that Yr83 is physically located at the fraction length (FL) 0.87-1.00 of 6RL and covers the corresponding region of 806-881 Mb in the reference genome of Lo7. Oligo-FISH painting demonstrated that the region carrying Yr83 is syntenic to the distal end of long arm of homoeologous group 7 of the Triticeae genome. The developed wheat-6R lines carrying the Yr83 gene will be useful for breeding for rust resistance.
