Zhang D, Li YY, Zhao X, Zhang C, Liu DK, Lan S, Yin W, Liu ZJ. Molecular insights into self-incompatibility systems: From evolution to breeding. PLANT COMMUNICATIONS 2024; 5:100719. [PMID: 37718509 PMCID: PMC10873884 DOI: 10.1016/j.xplc.2023.100719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023]
Abstract
Plants have evolved diverse self-incompatibility (SI) systems for outcrossing. Since Darwin's time, considerable progress has been made toward elucidating this unrivaled reproductive innovation. Recent advances in interdisciplinary studies and applications of biotechnology have given rise to major breakthroughs in understanding the molecular pathways that lead to SI, particularly the strikingly different SI mechanisms that operate in Solanaceae, Papaveraceae, Brassicaceae, and Primulaceae. These best-understood SI systems, together with discoveries in other "nonmodel" SI taxa such as Poaceae, suggest a complex evolutionary trajectory of SI, with multiple independent origins and frequent and irreversible losses. Extensive exploration of self-/nonself-discrimination signaling cascades has revealed a comprehensive catalog of male and female identity genes and modifier factors that control SI. These findings also enable the characterization, validation, and manipulation of SI-related factors for crop improvement, helping to address the challenges associated with development of inbred lines. Here, we review current knowledge about the evolution of SI systems, summarize key achievements in the molecular basis of pollen‒pistil interactions, discuss potential prospects for breeding of SI crops, and raise several unresolved questions that require further investigation.

CRISPR/Cas as a Genome-Editing Technique in Fruit Tree Breeding. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16656. [PMID: 38068981 PMCID: PMC10705926 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242316656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
CRISPR (short for "Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats") is a technology that research scientists use to selectively modify the DNA of living organisms. CRISPR was adapted for use in the laboratory from the naturally occurring genome-editing systems found in bacteria. In this work, we reviewed the methods used to introduce CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome editing into fruit species, as well as the impacts of the application of this technology to activate and knock out target genes in different fruit tree species, including on tree development, yield, fruit quality, and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. The application of this gene-editing technology could allow the development of new generations of fruit crops with improved traits by targeting different genetic segments or even could facilitate the introduction of traits into elite cultivars without changing other traits. However, currently, the scarcity of efficient regeneration and transformation protocols in some species, the fact that many of those procedures are genotype-dependent, and the convenience of segregating the transgenic parts of the CRISPR system represent the main handicaps limiting the potential of genetic editing techniques for fruit trees. Finally, the latest news on the legislation and regulations about the use of plants modified using CRISPR/Cas systems has been also discussed.

'Candid': Assessing Genetic Variation and Breeding Potential. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:43836-43849. [PMID: 38027373 PMCID: PMC10666220 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c05723] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
In this study, we developed a mutagenesis protocol specifically designed for chrysanthemum cv. "Candid" in order to introduce genetic variation. By subjecting chrysanthemum shoots to different doses of physical and chemical mutagens, we successfully generated a total of 24 mutants, each with unique genetic compositions. We observed that the mortality rate was lowest when the shoots were exposed to 10 Gy gamma irradiation and 1.00% EMS. To assess the diversity and relatedness among the mutants, we employed RAPD and SSR markers. The combination of these markers allowed us to construct a dendrogram that effectively categorized the mutant population into distinct clusters based on the specific mutagen treatments. Interestingly, the mutants induced by 10 Gy gamma irradiation exhibited greater genetic diversity in terms of flower colors. On the other hand, mutants created with 1.00% EMS displayed a higher level of variation and yielded more viable mutants. To determine the optimal markers for studying genetic diversity, we analyzed the polymorphic information content (PIC) of different markers. Among the tested markers, OPA-07 (RAPD) and JH47 (SSR) showed the highest PIC values, indicating their effectiveness in capturing genetic variability within the mutant population. Conversely, the PIC values of OPD-07 and JH20 demonstrated the lowest among the markers tested. Our results revealed a percentage of polymorphism ranging from 81.81% to 100% for RAPD markers and 66.66% to 100% for SSR markers. These findings indicate that physical mutation induced by 10 Gy gamma irradiation can be clearly distinguished from chemical mutation induced by EMS at concentrations of 1% and 0.75% in chrysanthemum cv. "Candid.″ Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the genetic composition of the generated mutants and highlights their potential for enhancing chrysanthemum-breeding programs. The identified markers, particularly, OPA-07 and JH47, can serve as valuable tools for future studies aimed at exploring and exploiting the genetic diversity within the chrysanthemum population.

Orchard Management and Incorporation of Biochemical and Molecular Strategies for Improving Drought Tolerance in Fruit Tree Crops. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:773. [PMID: 36840120 PMCID: PMC9960531 DOI: 10.3390/plants12040773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Water scarcity is one of the greatest concerns for agronomy worldwide. In recent years, many water resources have been depleted due to multiple factors, especially mismanagement. Water resource shortages lead to cropland expansion, which likely influences climate change and affects global agriculture, especially horticultural crops. Fruit yield is the final aim in commercial orchards; however, drought can slow tree growth and/or decrease fruit yield and quality. It is therefore necessary to find approaches to solve this problem. The main objective of this review is to discuss the most recent horticultural, biochemical, and molecular strategies adopted to improve the response of temperate fruit crops to water stress. We also address the viability of cultivating fruit trees in dry areas and provide precise protection methods for planting fruit trees in arid lands. We review the main factors involved in planting fruit trees in dry areas, including plant material selection, regulated deficit irrigation (DI) strategies, rainwater harvesting (RWH), and anti-water stress materials. We also provide a detailed analysis of the molecular strategies developed to combat drought, such as Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR) through gene overexpression or gene silencing. Finally, we look at the molecular mechanisms associated with the contribution of the microbiome to improving plant responses to drought.
