Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:10937. [PMID: 37446115 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241310937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
MADS-box genes constitute a large family of transcription factors that play important roles in plant growth and development. However, our understanding of MADS-box genes involved in anther development and male sterility in Salvia miltiorrhiza is still limited. In this study, 63 MADS-box genes were identified from the genome of the male sterility ecotype Sichuan S. miltiorrhiza (S. miltiorrhiza_SC) unevenly distributed among eight chromosomes. Phylogenetic analysis classified them into two types and 17 subfamilies. They contained 1 to 12 exons and 10 conserved motifs. Evolution analysis showed that segmental duplication was the main force for the expansion of the SmMADS gene family, and duplication gene pairs were under purifying selection. Cis-acting elements analysis demonstrated that the promoter of SmMADS genes contain numerous elements associated with plant growth and development, plant hormones, and stress response. RNA-seq showed that the expression levels of B-class and C-class SmMADS genes were highly expressed during anther development, with SmMADS11 likely playing an important role in regulating anther development and male fertility in S. miltiorrhiza_SC. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of the MADS-box gene family in S. miltiorrhiza, shedding light on their potential role in anther development and male sterility.

Abstract
Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge is an important traditional herb. Salvia miltiorrhiza is distributed in the Sichuan province of China (here called SC). Under natural conditions, it does not bear seeds and its sterility mechanism is still unclear. Through artificial cross, there was defective pistil and partial pollen abortion in these plants. Electron microscopy results showed that the defective pollen wall was caused by delayed degradation of the tapetum. Due to the lack of starch and organelle, the abortive pollen grains showed shrinkage. RNA-seq was performed to explore the molecular mechanisms of pollen abortion. KEGG enrichment analysis suggested that the pathways of phytohormone, starch, lipid, pectin, and phenylpropanoid affected the fertility of S. miltiorrhiza. Moreover, some differentially expressed genes involved in starch synthesis and plant hormone signaling were identified. These results contribute to the molecular mechanism of pollen sterility and provide a more theoretical foundation for molecular-assisted breeding.

Abstract
As the trace signal molecules widely existing in plants, plant hormones can regulate physiological responses of plants at low concentrations. At present, the effect of plant endogenous hormones on wheat male fertility has attracted attention, but the molecular mechanism underlying fertility regulation is unclear. Given this, the anthers of five isonuclear alloplasmic male sterile lines and their maintainer line were RNA-sequenced. A gene TaGA-6D encoding gibberellin (GA) regulated protein was isolated, which was located to the nucleus, cell wall and/or cell membrane, and predominantly highly expressed in the anther of Ju706A, a male sterile line with Aegilops juvenalis cytoplasm. By spraying assay of GA with different concentrations on fertility line Ju706R, it was found that with the increase of exogenous GA concentration, the content of endogenous GA and expression level of TaGA-6D in anther gradually increased, and the fertility decreased. However, silencing of TaGA-6D partially restore the fertility of Ju706R sprayed with 1000ng/μl GA, and indicating that gibberellin can promote the expression of TaGA-6D and negatively regulates the fertility of wheat with Aegilops juvenalis cytoplasm, which providing new insights for understanding hormone regulation of male fertility in wheat.

Abstract
BCAKGROUND The dry root and rhizome of Salvia miltiorrhiza are used to treat cardiovascular diseases, chronic pain, and thoracic obstruction over 2000 years in Asian countries. For high quality, Sichuan Zhongjiang is regarded as the genuine producing area of S. miltiorrhiza. Given its abnormal pollen development, S. miltiorrhiza from Sichuan (S.m.-SC) relies on root reproduction and zymad accumulation; part of diseased plants present typical viral disease symptoms and seed quality degeneration. This study aim to detected unknown viruses from mosaic-diseased plants and establish a highly efficient virus-free regeneration system to recover germplasm properties. RESULTS Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) were detected from mosaic-diseased plants. Primary apical meristem with two phyllo podium in 0.15-0.5 mm peeled from diseased plants were achieved 73.33% virus-free rate. The results showed that the medium containing MS, 0.5 mg/L 6-BA, 0.1 mg/L NAA, 0.1 mg/L GA3, 30 g/L sucrose and 7.5 g/L agar can achieve embryonic-tissue (apical meristem, petiole and leaf callus) high efficient organogenesis. For callus induction, the optimal condition was detected on the medium containing MS, 2 mg/L TDZ, 0.1 mg/L NAA by using secondary petiole of virus-free plants under 24 h dark/d condition for 21 d. The optimal system for root induction was the nutrient solution with 1/2 MS supplemented with 1 mg/L NAA. After transplant, the detection of agronomic metric and salvianolic acid B content confirmed the great germplasm properties of S.m.-SC virus-free plants. CONCLUSIONS A highly efficient virus-free regeneration system of S.m.-SC was established based on the detected viruses to recover superior seed quality. The proposed system laid support to control disease spread, recover good germplasm properties in S.m.-SC.

Abstract
Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge is an outcross-pollinated plant with diverse flower colors, ranging from white to purple. To clarify the genetic basis of S. miltiorrhiza flower color, we crossed white-flowered S. miltiorrhiza f. alba with dark violet-flowered S. miltiorrhiza, and selfed F1 to obtain an F2 population. The RGB color system was used to describe the flower color of the parents, F1 progeny, and F2 individuals. Afterward, we used genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) technology to construct a high-density linkage map of S. miltiorrhiza based on the F2 population. Finally, the linkage map was used to locate the QTLs of the genes that control flower color in S. miltiorrhiza. Through measurement and cluster analysis of the R, G, and B values of flowers from the parents, F1, and F2 individuals, it was found that the purple flower color of S. miltiorrhiza is a quantitative trait controlled by two loci of major genes. The genetic map contained 605 SNPs with a total length of 738.3 cM in eight linkage groups (LGs), and the average distance between two markers was 1.22 cM. Based on the constructed genetic map and the flower R, G, B, and R+G+B values, two QTLs were detected for flower color, located on LG4 and LG5. The results of this study lay the foundation for cloning genes that control flower color and studying the molecular mechanism of flower color regulation in S. miltiorrhiza.

Chen J, Xu H, Zhang J, Dong S, Liu Q, Wang R. Transcriptomic analysis reveals candidate genes for male sterility in Prunus sibirica. PeerJ 2021; 9:e12349. [PMID: 34722001 PMCID: PMC8541319 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.12349] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The phenomenon of male sterility widely occurs in Prunus sibirica and has a serious negative impact on yield. We identified the key stage and cause of male sterility and found differentially expressed genes related to male sterility in Prunus sibirica, and we analyzed the expression pattern of these genes. This work aimed to provide valuable reference and theoretical basis for the study of reproductive development and the mechanisms of male sterility in Prunus sibirica. Method The microstructures of male sterile flower buds and male fertile flower buds were observed by paraffin section. Transcriptome sequencing was used to screen genes related to male sterility in Prunus sibirica. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis was performed to verify the transcriptome data. Results Anther development was divided into the sporogenous cell stage, tetrad stage, microspore stage, and pollen maturity stage. Compared with male fertile flower buds, in the microspore stage, the pollen sac wall tissue in the male sterile flower buds showed no signs of degeneration. In the pollen maturity stage, the tapetum and middle layer were not fully degraded, and anther development stopped. Therefore, the microspore stage was the key stage for anther abortion , and the pollen maturity stage was the post stage for anther abortion. A total of 4,108 differentially expressed genes were identified by transcriptome analysis. Among them, 1,899 were up-regulated, and 2,209 were down-regulated in the transcriptome of male sterile flower buds. We found that "protein kinase activity", "apoptosis process", "calcium binding", "cell death", "cytochrome c oxidase activity", "aspartate peptidase activity", "cysteine peptidase activity" and other biological pathways such as "starch and sucrose metabolism" and "proteasome" were closely related to male sterility in Prunus sibirica. A total of 331 key genes were preliminarily screened. Conclusion The occurrence of male sterility in Prunus sibirica involved many biological processes and metabolic pathways. According to the results of microstructure observations, related physiological indexes determination and transcriptome analysis, we reveal that the occurrence of male sterility in Prunus sibirica may be caused by abnormal metabolic processes such as the release of cytochrome c in the male sterile flower buds, the imbalance of the antioxidant system being destroyed, and the inability of macromolecular substances such as starch to be converted into soluble small molecules at the correct stage of reproductive development, resulting in energy loss. As a result, the tapetum cannot be fully degraded, thereby blocking anther development, which eventually led to the formation of male sterility.
