Centromere sequence-independent but biased loading of subgenome-specific CENH3 variants in allopolyploid Arabidopsis suecica. PLANT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2024; 114:74.

Abstract
Centromeric nucleosomes are determined by the replacement of the canonical histone H3 with the centromere-specific histone H3 (CENH3) variant. Little is known about the centromere organization in allopolyploid species where different subgenome-specific CENH3s and subgenome-specific centromeric sequences coexist. Here, we analyzed the transcription and centromeric localization of subgenome-specific CENH3 variants in the allopolyploid species Arabidopsis suecica. Synthetic A. thaliana x A. arenosa hybrids were generated and analyzed to mimic the early evolution of A. suecica. Our expression analyses indicated that CENH3 has generally higher expression levels in A. arenosa compared to A. thaliana, and this pattern persists in the hybrids. We also demonstrated that despite a different centromere DNA composition, the centromeres of both subgenomes incorporate CENH3 encoded by both subgenomes, but with a positive bias towards the A. arenosa-type CENH3. The intermingled arrangement of both CENH3 variants demonstrates centromere plasticity and may be an evolutionary adaption to handle more than one CENH3 variant in the process of allopolyploidization.

Abstract
Centromeres are essential regions of eukaryotic chromosomes responsible for the formation of kinetochore complexes, which connect to spindle microtubules during cell division. Notably, although centromeres maintain a conserved function in chromosome segregation, the underlying DNA sequences are diverse both within and between species and are predominantly repetitive in nature. The repeat content of centromeres includes high-copy tandem repeats (satellites), and/or specific families of transposons. The functional region of the centromere is defined by loading of a specific histone 3 variant (CENH3), which nucleates the kinetochore and shows dynamic regulation. In many plants, the centromeres are composed of satellite repeat arrays that are densely DNA methylated and invaded by centrophilic retrotransposons. In some cases, the retrotransposons become the sites of CENH3 loading. We review the structure of plant centromeres, including monocentric, holocentric, and metapolycentric architectures, which vary in the number and distribution of kinetochore attachment sites along chromosomes. We discuss how variation in CENH3 loading can drive genome elimination during early cell divisions of plant embryogenesis. We review how epigenetic state may influence centromere identity and discuss evolutionary models that seek to explain the paradoxically rapid change of centromere sequences observed across species, including the potential roles of recombination. We outline putative modes of selection that could act within the centromeres, as well as the role of repeats in driving cycles of centromere evolution. Although our primary focus is on plant genomes, we draw comparisons with animal and fungal centromeres to derive a eukaryote-wide perspective of centromere structure and function.

Abstract
The fine centromere structure in Robertsonian wheat-rye translocation chromosomes exhibits variation among different translocation genotypes. Within extensively employed wheat-rye 1RS.1BL translocation lines in wheat breeding, their translocated chromosomes frequently display fused centromere. Nevertheless, the mechanism governing the functionality of the fused centromere in 1RS.1BL translocated chromosomes remains to be clarified. In this study, we investigated the fine centromere structure of the 1RS.1BL translocated chromosome through a combination of cytological and genomics methods. We found that only the rye-derived centromere exhibits functional activity, whether in breeding applications or artificially synthesized translocation chromosomes. The active rye-derived centromere had higher proportion of young full-length long terminal repeat retrotransposons (flLTR-RTs) and more stable non-B DNA structures, which may be beneficial toward transcription of centromeric repeats and CENH3 loading to maintain the activity of rye centromeres. High levels of DNA methylation and H3K9me2 were found in the inactive wheat-derived centromeres, suggesting that it may play a crucial role in maintaining the inactive status of the wheat centromere. Our works elucidate the fine structure of 1RS.1BL translocations and the potential mechanism of centromere inactivation in the fused centromere, contributing knowledge to the application of fused centromere in wheat breeding formation of new wheat-rye translocation lines.

Abstract
Wheat-rye translocations 1RS.1BL and 1RS.1AL are used in bread wheat breeding worldwide because a short arm of rye chromosome 1 (1RS) when introgressed into the wheat genome confers resistance to diseases, pests and better performance under drought-stress conditions. However, in durum wheat genotypes, these translocations occur only in experimental lines, although their advantages could enhance the potential of this crop. P.P. Lukyanenko National Grain Centre (NGC) has successfully developed commercially competitive cultivars of bread and durum wheat demanded by many agricultural producers in the South of Russia for decades. Here, 94 accessions of bread and 343 accessions of durum wheat, representing lines and cultivars from collection, competitive variety trials and breeding nursery developed at NGC were screened for 1RS using PCR markers and genomic in situ hybridization. The 1RS.1BL and 1RS.1AL translocations were detected in 38 and 6 bread wheat accessions, respectively. None of the durum wheat accessions showed translocation, despite the fact that some of them had 1RS.1BL donors in their pedigree. The absence of translocations in the studied durum wheat germplasm can be caused by the negative selection of 1RS carriers at different stages of the breeding process due to low quality and difficulties in transferring rye chromatin through wheat gametes.

Abstract
The centromere is the region of a chromosome that directs its separation and plays an important role in cell division and reproduction of organisms. Elucidating the dynamics of centromeres is an alternative strategy for exploring the evolution of wheat. Here, we comprehensively analyzed centromeres from the de novo-assembled common wheat cultivar Aikang58 (AK58), Chinese Spring (CS), and all sequenced diploid and tetraploid ancestors by chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing, whole-genome bisulfite sequencing, RNA sequencing, assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing, and comparative genomics. We found that centromere-associated sequences were concentrated during tetraploidization and hexaploidization. Centromeric repeats of wheat (CRWs) have undergone expansion during wheat evolution, with strong interweaving between the A and B subgenomes post tetraploidization. We found that CENH3 prefers to bind with younger CRWs, as directly supported by immunocolocalization on two chromosomes (1A and 2A) of wild emmer wheat with dicentromeric regions, only one of which bound with CENH3. In a comparison of AK58 with CS, obvious centromere repositioning was detected on chromosomes 1B, 3D, and 4D. The active centromeres showed a unique combination of lower CG but higher CHH and CHG methylation levels. We also found that centromeric chromatin was more open than pericentromeric chromatin, with higher levels of gene expression but lower gene density. Frequent introgression between tetraploid and hexaploid wheat also had a strong influence on centromere position on the same chromosome. This study also showed that active wheat centromeres were genetically and epigenetically determined.

Abstract
Thinopyrum intermedium (2n = 6x = 42, JJJSJSStSt) has been hybridized extensively with common wheat and proven to be a valuable germplasm source for improving disease resistance and yield potential of wheat. A novel disease-resistant wheat-Th. intermedium double substitution line X479, carrying 1St(1B) and 4St-4JS (4B), was identified using multi-color non-denaturing fluorescence in situ hybridization (ND-FISH). With the aim of transferring Thinopyrum-specific chromatin to wheat, a total of 573 plants from F2 and F3 progenies of X479 crossed with wheat cultivar MY11 were developed and characterized using sequential ND-FISH with multiple probes. Fifteen types of wheat-Thinopyrum translocation chromosomes were preferentially transmitted in the progenies, and the homozygous wheat-1St, and wheat-4JSL translocation lines were identified using ND-FISH, Oligo-FISH painting and CENH3 immunostaining. The wheat-4JSL translocation lines exhibited high levels of resistance to stripe rust prevalent races in field screening. The gene for stripe rust resistance was found to be physically located on FL0-0.60 of the 4JSL, using deletion lines and specific DNA markers. The new wheat-Th. intermedium translocation lines can be exploited as useful germplasms for wheat improvement.

Abstract
Single-copy FISH analysis is a useful tool to physically locate a given sequence on chromosome. Centromeric single-copy sequences can be used to locate the position of centromere and disclose the subtle differences among different centromeres. Nine centromeric single-copy sequences 1R1, 3R1, 4R1, 4R2, 5R1, 5R2, 6R2, 6R3, and 7R1 were cloned from Kustro (Secale cereale L.). FISH analysis using these sequences as probes indicated that the signals of 1R1, 3R1, 4R1, 4R2, 5R1, 5R2, 6R1, 6R2, and 7R1 were located in the centromeric regions of rye 1R, 3R, 4R, 4R, 5R, 5R, 6R, 6R, and 7R chromosomes, respectively. In addition, for each of the centromeric single-copy sequences, high sequence similarity was observed among different Secale species. Combined with rye genomic sequence, single-copy FISH analysis indicated that the 1BL.1RS translocations in wheat cultivar CN17 and wheat line 20T363-4 contained the centromeric segment of 1R chromosome from 349,498,361 to 349,501,266 bp, and the 1BL.1RS translocations in the other two wheat cultivars did not contain this segment. The nine sequences are useful in determining the centromere location on rye chromosomes, and they have the potential to disclose the accurate structural differences of centromeres among the wheat-rye centric fusion translocation chromosomes; therefore, more centromeric single-copy sequences are needed.

Abstract
The evolution of eukaryotic genomes is accompanied by fluctuations in chromosome number, reflecting cycles of chromosome number increase (polyploidy and centric fissions) and decrease (chromosome fusions). Although all chromosome fusions result from DNA recombination between two or more nonhomologous chromosomes, several mechanisms of descending dysploidy are exploited by eukaryotes to reduce their chromosome number. Genome sequencing and comparative genomics have accelerated the identification of inter-genome chromosome collinearity and gross chromosomal rearrangements and have shown that end-to-end chromosome fusions (EEFs) and nested chromosome fusions (NCFs) may have played a more important role in the evolution of eukaryotic karyotypes than previously thought. The present review aims to summarize the limited knowledge on the origin, frequency, and evolutionary implications of EEF and NCF events in eukaryotes and especially in land plants. The interactions between nonhomologous chromosomes in interphase nuclei and chromosome (mis)pairing during meiosis are examined for their potential importance in the origin of EEFs and NCFs. The remaining open questions that need to be addressed are discussed.

Abstract
Complete new wheat-rye disomic, telosomic addition lines and various chromosomal aberrations were developed and characterized by molecular cytogenetic method as novel chromosome engineering materials. A new stem rust resistance (Ug99) gene was located on 3RL. Wheat stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), is a devastating fungal disease worldwide. A recently emerged great threat to global wheat production is Pgt strain Ug99 and its derivatives, which have overcome most of the commonly used resistance genes. Rye (Secale cereale L.), closely related to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), is a significant and valuable resource of resistance genes for wheat germplasm improvement. It is of great importance and urgency to identify new resistance gene sources of rye and transfer them into wheat. In this study, two complete sets of wheat-rye addition lines were established through wide hybridization, chromosome doubling and backcrossing. A wheat-rye 3RL telosomic addition line was identified with high resistance to stem rust strain Ug99. PCR-based markers specific for the rye chromosome were developed. Furthermore, abundant chromosomal aberrations such as minichromosomes, ring chromosomes as well as centromere reduction and expansion were identified in the progeny of wheat-rye addition lines by multicolor GISH and FISH. The line carrying a novel resistance gene to stem rust can be utilized as a bridge material for wheat disease resistance breeding. The chromosomal and centromeric variation within the wheat-rye hybrids can further contribute to genetic diversity of their offspring.
