Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of WRKY family genes under soft rot in Chinese cabbage

Frontiers in Genetics (2022)

Jinghui Yan Xinle Yu W. F. Mader Xiaoxue Sun Yunjia Ge

Complex transcriptional networks regulate plant defense against pathogen attack, and plant transcription factors act as key regulators of the plant immune responses. The differences between transcription factor expression and regulation in Chinese cabbage soft rot (Pectobacterium carotovorum; Pc) have not been revealed. In this study, a total of 148 putative Chinese cabbage WRKY genes (BrWRKYs) were identified from the Chinese cabbage genome (v3.0). These genes were divided into seven subgroups (groups I, IIa-e, and III) based on phylogenomic analysis, with distinct motif compositions in each subgroup. Time-series RNA-seq was carried out to elucidate the dynamic expression patterns of the BrWRKYs on the resistant mutant (sr) and the susceptible wild-type (inbred WT) challenged by Pc. Transcriptional analysis showed that 48 WRKY transcription genes at 0-24 hpi were significantly upregulated in sr under soft rot stress. At the 12-h post-inoculation critical time point, we identified three specifically upregulated genes and two downregulated genes in the resistant mutant, which may provide potential applications for genetic improvement against soft rot. The findings improved our understanding of the WRKY-mediated soft rot stress response regulation in Chinese cabbage. The study thus lays a foundation for the genetic improvement of soft rot resistance.

Genetic analysis of the “head top shape” quality trait of Chinese cabbage and its association with rosette leaf variation

Horticulture Research (2021)

Xiaoxue Sun Ying Gao Yin Lu Xiaomeng Zhang Shuangxia Luo

Abstract The agricultural and consumer quality of Chinese cabbage is determined by its shape. The shape is defined by the folding of the heading leaves, which defines the head top shape (HTS). The overlapping HTS, in which the heading leaves curve inward and overlap at the top, is the shape preferred by consumers. To understand the genetic regulation of HTS, we generated a large segregating F 2 population from a cross between pak choi and Chinese cabbage, with phenotypes ranging from nonheading to heading with either outward curving or inward curving overlapping heading leaves. HTS was correlated with plant height, outer/rosette leaf length, and petiole length. A high-density genetic map was constructed. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis resulted in the identification of 22 QTLs for leafy head-related traits, which included five HTS QTLs. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) was used to confirm HTS QTLs and identify candidate genes based on informative single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Interestingly, the HTS QTLs colocalized with QTLs for plant height, outer/rosette leaf, and petiole length, consistent with the observed phenotypic correlations. Combined QTL analysis and BSA laid a foundation for molecular marker-assisted breeding of Chinese cabbage HTS and directions for further research on the genetic regulation of this trait.

Genetic regulators of leaf size in Brassica crops

Horticulture Research (2021)

Umer Karamat Xiaoxue Sun Na Li Jianjun Zhao

Abstract Leaf size influences plant development and biomass and is also an important agricultural trait in Brassica crops, in which leaves are the main organ produced for consumption. Leaf size is determined by the coordinated regulation of cell proliferation and cell expansion during leaf development, and these processes are strictly controlled by various integrated signals from the intrinsic regulatory network and the growth environment. Understanding the molecular mechanism of leaf size control is a prerequisite for molecular breeding for crop improvement purposes. Although research on leaf size control is just beginning in Brassica , recent studies have identified several genes and QTLs that are important in leaf size regulation. These genes have been proposed to influence leaf growth through different pathways and mechanisms, including phytohormone biosynthesis and signaling, transcription regulation, small RNAs, and others. In this review, we summarize the current findings regarding the genetic regulators of leaf size in Brassica and discuss future prospects for this research.

[Response of Maize to Lead Stress and Relevant Chemical Forms of Lead].

Hai-kuan Cheng Biao Zhang Xinxin Jing Suqin Yang Peng Zhao

A sand-culture experiment was carried out to research the differences in lead (Pb) chemical-form among different maize varieties for roots and shoots under Pb stress, and further investigate into the mechanism of maize endurance to resist Pb. The results showed that the wheat varieties of Zhengdan 958 and Longping 206 have the maximum Pb tolerance, whereas Lianchuang 5's tolerance of Pb was the minimum. Pb form in roots and shoots were mainly harmfulness HAc-extractable and HCl-extractable, accounting for a high proportion of 60% - 87%. Moreover, these values in roots were slightly higher than those in shoots. And concentrations of alcohol-extractable and water-extractable Pb accounted for the proportion of 6% - 20%. Under 100 mg x L(-1) Pb stress, the alcohol-extractable together with water-extractable Pb content in shoots of Longping 206 was the lowest (0.52 mg x kg(-1)), and that of in Zhengdan 958 shoots was 0.93 mg x kg(-1) which was also very low. However, for Lianchuang 5, the content could reach 2.78 mg x kg(-1). Under the stress of 800 mg x L(-1) Pb, content of alcohol-extractable together with water-extractable Pb in Zhengdan 958 shoots was 2.41 mg x kg(-1), which was still the lowest. These were probable reasons why Zhengdan 958 was more resistant to Pb stress than other varieties. Tolerance of Zhengdan 958 to Pb stress was related to it's strong ability to convert toxic Pb into non-toxic Pb.
