Abstract
Reniform and root-knot nematode are two of the most destructive pests of conventional upland cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., and continue to be a major threat to cotton fiber production in semiarid regions of the Southern United States and Central America. Fortunately, naturally occurring tolerance to these nematodes has been identified in the Pima cotton species (Gossypium barbadense) and several upland cotton varieties (G. hirsutum), which has led to a robust breeding program that has successfully introgressed and stacked these independent resistant traits into several upland cotton lineages with superior agronomic traits, e.g. BAR 32-30 and BARBREN-713. This work identifies the genomic variations of these nematode-tolerant accessions by comparing their respective genomes to the susceptible, high-quality fiber-producing parental line of this lineage: Phytogen 355 (PSC355). We discover several large genomic differences within marker regions that harbor putative resistance genes as well as expression mechanisms shared by the two resistant lines, with respect to the susceptible PSC355 parental line. This work emphasizes the utility of whole-genome comparisons as a means of elucidating large and small nuclear differences by lineage and phenotype.

Abstract
The Cellulose Synthase gene (CS) superfamily and COBRA-like (COBL) gene family are essential for synthesizing cellulose and hemicellulose, which play a crucial role in cell wall biosynthesis and the hardening of plant tissues. Our study identified 126 ZbCS and 31 ZbCOBL genes from the Zanthoxylum bungeanum (Zb) genome. Phylogenetic analysis and conservative domain analysis unfolded that ZbCS and ZbCOBL genes were divided into seven and two subfamilies, respectively. Gene duplication data suggested that more than 75% of these genes had tandem and fragment duplications. Codon usage patterns analysis indicated that the ZbCS and ZbCOBL genes prefer ending with A/T base, with weak codon preference. Furthermore, seven key ZbCS and five key ZbCOBL genes were identified based on the content of cellulose and hemicellulose and the expression characteristics of ZbCS and ZbCOBL genes in various stages of stipule thorns. Altogether, these results improve the understanding of CS and COBL genes and provide valuable reference data for cultivating Zb with soft thorns.

Abstract
Soybean is a crucial crop worldwide, used as a source of food, feed, and industrial products due to its high protein and oil content. Previously, the rapid accumulation of soybean RNA-seq data in public databases and the computational challenges of processing raw RNA-seq data motivated us to develop the Soybean Expression Atlas, a gene expression database of over a thousand RNA-seq samples. Over the past few years, our database has allowed researchers to explore the expression profiles of important gene families, discover genes associated with agronomic traits, and understand the transcriptional dynamics of cellular processes. Here, we present the Soybean Expression Atlas v2, an updated version of our database with a fourfold increase in the number of samples, featuring transcript- and gene-level transcript abundance matrices for 5481 publicly available RNA-seq samples. New features in our database include the availability of transcript-level abundance estimates and equivalence classes to explore differential transcript usage, abundance estimates in bias-corrected counts to increase the accuracy of differential gene expression analyses, a new web interface with improved data visualization and user experience, and a reproducible and scalable pipeline available as an R package. The Soybean Expression Atlas v2 is available at https://soyatlas.venanciogroup.uenf.br/, and it will accelerate soybean research, empowering researchers with high-quality and easily accessible gene expression data.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1242836. [PMID: 37780503 PMCID: PMC10540467 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1242836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
A cell wall determines the mechanical properties of a cell, serves as a barrier against plant stresses, and allows cell division and growth processes. The COBRA-Like (COBL) gene family encodes a putative glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein that controls cellulose deposition and cell progression in plants by contributing to the microfibril orientation of a cell wall. Despite being studied in different plant species, there is a dearth of the comprehensive global analysis of COBL genes in poplar. Poplar is employed as a model woody plant to study abiotic stresses and biomass production in tree research. Improved genome resequencing has enabled the comprehensive exploration of the evolution and functional capacities of PtrCOBLs (Poplar COBRA-Like genes) in poplar. Phylogeny analysis has discerned and classified PtrCOBLs into two groups resembling the Arabidopsis COBL family, and group I genes possess longer proteins but have fewer exons than group II. Analysis of gene structure and motifs revealed PtrCOBLs maintained a rather stable motif and exon-intron pattern across members of the same group. Synteny and collinearity analyses exhibited that the evolution of the COBL gene family was heavily influenced by gene duplication events. PtrCOBL genes have undergone both segmental duplication and tandem duplication, followed by purifying selection. Promotor analysis flaunted various phytohormone-, growth- and stress-related cis-elements (e.g., MYB, ABA, MeJA, SA, AuxR, and ATBP1). Likewise, 29 Ptr-miRNAs of 20 families were found targeting 11 PtrCOBL genes. PtrCOBLs were found localized at the plasma membrane and extracellular matrix, while gene ontology analysis showed their involvement in plant development, plant growth, stress response, cellulose biosynthesis, and cell wall biogenesis. RNA-seq datasets depicted the bulk of PtrCOBL genes expression being found in plant stem tissues and leaves, rendering mechanical strength and rejoinders to environmental cues. PtrCOBL2, 3, 10, and 11 manifested the highest expression in vasculature and abiotic stress, and resemblant expression trends were upheld by qRT-PCR. Co-expression network analysis identified PtrCOBL2 and PtrCOBL3 as hub genes across all abiotic stresses and wood developing tissues. The current study reports regulating roles of PtrCOBLs in xylem differentiating tissues, tension wood formation, and abiotic stress latency that lay the groundwork for future functional studies of the PtrCOBL genes in poplar breeding.

Abstract
as one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world, quinoa has been widely valued for its rich nutritional value and green health. In this study, 22 CDK genes (CqCDK01-CqCDK22) were identified from quinoa genome using bioinformatics method. The number of amino acids was 173-811, the molecular weight was 19,554.89 Da-91,375.70 Da, and the isoelectric point was 4.57-9.77. The phylogenetic tree divided 21 CqCDK genes into six subfamilies, the gene structure showed that 12 (54.5%) CqCDK genes (CqCDK03, CqCDK04, CqCDK05, CqCDK06, CqCDK07, CqCDK11, CqCDK14, CqCDK16, CqCDK18, CqCDK19, CqCDK20 and CqCDK21) had UTR regions at 5' and 3' ends. Each CDK protein had different motifs (3-9 motifs), but the genes with the same motifs were located in the same branch. Promoter analysis revealed 41 cis-regulatory elements related to plant hormones, abiotic stresses, tissue-specific expression and photoresponse. The results of real-time fluorescence quantitative analysis showed that the expression level of some CDK genes was higher under drought and salt stress, which indicated that CDK genes could help plants to resist adverse environmental effects. Subcellular localization showed that CqCDK15 gene was localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm, and transgenic plants overexpressing CqCDK15 gene showed higher drought and salt tolerance compared to the controls. Therefore, CDK genes are closely related to quinoa stress resistance. In this study, the main functions of quinoa CDK gene family and its expression level in different tissues and organs were analyzed in detail, which provided some theoretical support for quinoa stress-resistant breeding. Meanwhile, this study has important implications for further understanding the function of the CDK gene family in quinoa and our understanding of the CDK family in vascular plant.

Abstract
Callose is a polymer deposited on the cell wall and is necessary for plant growth and development. Callose is synthesized by genes from the glucan synthase-like family (GSL) and dynamically responds to various types of stress. Callose can inhibit pathogenic infection, in the case of biotic stresses, and maintain cell turgor and stiffen the plant cell wall in abiotic stresses. Here, we report the identification of 23 GSL genes (GmGSL) in the soybean genome. We performed phylogenetic analyses, gene structure prediction, duplication patterns, and expression profiles on several RNA-Seq libraries. Our analyses show that WGD/Segmental duplication contributed to expanding this gene family in soybean. Next, we analyzed the callose responses in soybean under abiotic and biotic stresses. The data show that callose is induced by both osmotic stress and flagellin 22 (flg22) and is related to the activity of β-1,3-glucanases. By using RT-qPCR, we evaluated the expression of GSL genes during the treatment of soybean roots with mannitol and flg22. The GmGSL23 gene was upregulated in seedlings treated with osmotic stress or flg22, showing the essential role of this gene in the soybean defense response to pathogenic organisms and osmotic stress. Our results provide an important understanding of the role of callose deposition and regulation of GSL genes in response to osmotic stress and flg22 infection in soybean seedlings.

Abstract
The COBRA-like (COBL) genes play key roles in cell anisotropic expansion and the orientation of microfibrils. Mutations in these genes cause the brittle stem and induce pathogen responsive phenotypes in Arabidopsis and several crop plants. In this study, an in silico genome-wide analysis was performed to identify the COBL family members in Brassica. We identified 44, 20 and 23 COBL genes in B. napus and its diploid progenitor species B. rapa and B. oleracea, respectively. All the predicted COBL genes were phylogenetically clustered into two groups: the AtCOB group and the AtCOBL7 group. The conserved chromosome locations of COBLs in Arabidopsis and Brassica, together with clustering, indicated that the expansion of the COBL gene family in B. napus was primarily attributable to whole-genome triplication. Among the BnaCOBLs, 22 contained all the conserved motifs and derived from 9 of 12 subgroups. RNA-seq analysis was used to determine the tissue preferential expression patterns of various subgroups. BnaCOBL9, BnaCOBL35 and BnaCOBL41 were highly expressed in stem with high-breaking resistance, which implies these AtCOB subgroup members may be involved in stem development and stem breaking resistance of rapeseed. Our results of this study may help to elucidate the molecular properties of the COBRA gene family and provide informative clues for high stem-breaking resistance studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The COBL genes encode a plant-specific glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein. Recently identified COBRA genes are supposed as a key regulator of the orientation of cell expansion in the root indicating that COBRA gene family members are likely to be important players at the plasma membrane-cell wall interface. METHODS AND RESULTS Five COBL gene namely, TaCOBL 1, TaCOBL 2, TaCOBL 3, TaCOBL 4 and TaCOBL 5 were identified using database search and domain predictions. Chromosomal location of each gene was mapped on karyotype. Structure of genes, promoter analysis and phylogenetic analysis were performed using different bioinformatics tools. Set of novel SNPs were also predicted. Gene ontologies were analyzed, and the processes and pathways were identified in which COBRA genes were involved. The molecular weight all the cobra proteins was in range of 50-75 KDa with 429-461 amino acid residues. The COBL genes were mapped on homeologous groups 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Gene ontology analysis revealed that TaCOBL genes were involved in cellulose microfibril organization, mucilage biosynthetic process involved in seed coat development, plant-type cell wall biogenesis plant-type cell wall cellulose biosynthetic process, seed coat development and seed development. Three drought responsive cis-elements (WRKY, ABRE and DRE) were found nearby COBL genes The qRT-PCR revealed TaCOBL genes are drought responsive and can be further explored to understand their role in drought tolerance in wheat. CONCLUSION The comprehensive annotation and expression profiling of COBL genes revealed that all five COBL genes are drought response. The promoter cis-regulatory element analysis revealed that COBL genes had stress related WRKY, ABRE and DRE cis-regulatory elements. This evidence suggest that TaCOBL genes are involved in drought stress tolerance.
