Analysis of the Chromosomal Clustering of Fusarium-Responsive
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Analysis of the chromosomal clustering of Fusarium‑responsive wheat genes uncovers new players in the defence against head blight disease Alexandre Perochon1,2, Harriet R. Benbow1,2, Katarzyna Ślęczka‑Brady1, Keshav B. Malla1 & Fiona M. Doohan1* There is increasing evidence that some functionally related, co‑expressed genes cluster within eukaryotic genomes. We present a novel pipeline that delineates such eukaryotic gene clusters. Using this tool for bread wheat, we uncovered 44 clusters of genes that are responsive to the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum. As expected, these Fusarium‑responsive gene clusters (FRGCs) included metabolic gene clusters, many of which are associated with disease resistance, but hitherto not described for wheat. However, the majority of the FRGCs are non‑metabolic, many of which contain clusters of paralogues, including those implicated in plant disease responses, such as glutathione transferases, MAP kinases, and germin‑like proteins. 20 of the FRGCs encode nonhomologous, non‑metabolic genes (including defence‑related genes). One of these clusters includes the characterised Fusarium resistance orphan gene, TaFROG. Eight of the FRGCs map within 6 FHB resistance loci. One small QTL on chromosome 7D (4.7 Mb) encodes eight Fusarium‑ responsive genes, fve of which are within a FRGC. This study provides a new tool to identify genomic regions enriched in genes responsive to specifc traits of interest and applied herein it highlighted gene families, genetic loci and biological pathways of importance in the response of wheat to disease. Prokaryote genomes encode co-transcribed genes with related functions that cluster together within operons. Clusters of functionally related genes also exist in eukaryote genomes, including fungi, nematodes, mammals and plants1. -

Comprehensive Metabolic and Transcriptomic Profiling of Various
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Comprehensive metabolic and transcriptomic profling of various tissues provide insights for saponin Received: 17 October 2017 Accepted: 4 June 2018 biosynthesis in the medicinally Published: xx xx xxxx important Asparagus racemosus Prabhakar Lal Srivastava1, Anurag Shukla2 & Raviraj M. Kalunke2 Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari), belongs to the family Asparagaceae and is known as a “curer of hundred diseases” since ancient time. This plant has been exploited as a food supplement to enhance immune system and regarded as a highly valued medicinal plant in Ayurvedic medicine system for the treatment of various ailments such as gastric ulcers, dyspepsia, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, as a galactogogue and against several other diseases. In depth metabolic fngerprinting of various parts of the plant led to the identifcation of 13 monoterpenoids exclusively present in roots. LC-MS profling led to the identifcation of a signifcant number of steroidal saponins (33). However, we have also identifed 16 triterpene saponins for the frst time in A. racemosus. In order to understand the molecular basis of biosynthesis of major components, transcriptome sequencing from three diferent tissues (root, leaf and fruit) was carried out. Functional annotation of A. racemosus transcriptome resulted in the identifcation of 153 transcripts involved in steroidal saponin biosynthesis, 45 transcripts in triterpene saponin biosynthesis, 44 transcripts in monoterpenoid biosynthesis and 79 transcripts in favonoid biosynthesis. These fndings will pave the way for better understanding of the molecular basis of steroidal saponin, triterpene saponin, monoterpenoids and favonoid biosynthesis in A. racemosus. Asparagus racemosus is one of the most valuable medicinal plants, regarded as a “Queen of herbs” in Ayurvedic health system and has been used worldwide to cure various diseases1. -
Allelic Mutant Series Reveal Distinct Functions for Arabidopsis Cycloartenol Synthase 1 in Cell Viability and Plastid Biogenesis
Allelic mutant series reveal distinct functions for Arabidopsis cycloartenol synthase 1 in cell viability and plastid biogenesis Elena Babiychuk*†, Pierrette Bouvier-Nave´ ‡, Vincent Compagnon‡, Masashi Suzuki§, Toshiya Muranaka§, Marc Van Montagu*†¶, Sergei Kushnir*†, and Hubert Schaller‡¶ *Department of Plant Systems Biology, Flanders Institute for Biotechnology, Technologiepark 927, 9052 Ghent, Belgium; †Department of Molecular Genetics, Ghent University, 9052 Ghent, Belgium; ‡Institut de Biologie Mole´culaire des Plantes, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique–Unite´ Propre de Recherche 2357, Universite´Louis Pasteur, 28 rue Goethe, 67083 Strasbourg, France; and §RIKEN Plant Science Center, Yokohama, Kanagawa 230-0045, Japan Contributed by Marc Van Montagu, December 24, 2007 (sent for review August 31, 2007) Sterols have multiple functions in all eukaryotes. In plants, sterol biosynthesis is initiated by the enzymatic conversion of 2,3-oxido- squalene to cycloartenol. This reaction is catalyzed by cycloartenol synthase 1 (CAS1), which belongs to a family of 13 2,3-oxidosqua- lene cyclases in Arabidopsis thaliana. To understand the full scope of sterol biological functions in plants, we characterized allelic series of cas1 mutations. Plants carrying the weak mutant allele cas1–1 were viable but developed albino inflorescence shoots because of photooxidation of plastids in stems that contained low amounts of carotenoids and chlorophylls. Consistent with the CAS1 catalyzed reaction, mutant tissues accumulated 2,3-oxidosqualene. This triterpenoid precursor did not increase at the expense of the pathway end products. Two strong mutations, cas1–2 and cas1–3, were not transmissible through the male gametes, suggesting a role for CAS1 in male gametophyte function. To validate these findings, we analyzed a conditional CRE/loxP recombination- dependent cas1–2 mutant allele. -

The Role of LC and FAS in Regulating Floral Meristem and Fruit Locule Number in Tomato
The role of LC and FAS in regulating floral meristem and fruit locule number in tomato Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yi-Hsuan Chu, B.S. Graduate Program in Horticulture and Crop Science The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee Dr. Jyan-Chyun Jang, Dr. Esther van der Knaap, Advisor Dr. Anna Dobritsa Dr. David Mackey Dr. Leah McHale 1 Copyrighted by Yi-Hsuan Chu 2017 2 Abstract In tomato, lc and fas control the variation between the small and bilocular fruits from the wild ancestor (S. pimpinellifolium) and large fruit cultivars (S. lycopersicum var. lycopersicum) with up to ten locules. SlWUS and SlCLV3 are the candidates of lc and fas, respectively. The regulatory balance between these two genes plays a pivotal role in meristem maintenance in Arabidopsis. However, the genetic and molecular mechanisms of SlWUS and SlCLV3 have not been functionally characterized in tomato. Here, we performed a detailed phenotypic analysis of the reproductive organs in tomato near-isogenic lines. The results showed that lc and fas synergistically controlled floral organ and locule number. In addition, results from targeted RNA interference (RNAi) and transgenic complementation of fas clearly demonstrated that SlCLV3 was the gene underlying fas. By using mRNA in situ hybridization and transcriptome profiling, we observed temporal and spatial changes in the expression patterns of these two genes during floral development. Our results indicated that lc was a gain-of-function mutation of SlWUS while fas was a loss-of-function mutation of SlCLV3. -
Friedelin Synthase from Maytenus Ilicifolia

Souza-Moreira1, Thaís B. Alves1, Karina A. Pinheiro1, Lidiane G. Felippe1, Gustavo M. A. De Lima2, Tatiana F. Watanabe1, Cristina C. Barbosa3, Vânia A. F. F. M. Santos1, Norberto P. Lopes4, Sandro R. Valentini3, Rafael V. C. Guido2, Maysa Furlan1 & Cleslei F. Zanelli3 Among the biologically active triterpenes, friedelin has the most-rearranged structure produced by the oxidosqualene cyclases and is the only one containing a cetonic group. In this study, we cloned and functionally characterized friedelin synthase and one cycloartenol synthase from Maytenus ilicifolia (Celastraceae). The complete coding sequences of these 2 genes were cloned from leaf mRNA, and their functions were characterized by heterologous expression in yeast. The cycloartenol synthase sequence is very similar to other known OSCs of this type (approximately 80% identity), although the M. ilicifolia friedelin synthase amino acid sequence is more related to β-amyrin synthases (65–74% identity), which is similar to the friedelin synthase cloned from Kalanchoe daigremontiana. Multiple sequence alignments demonstrated the presence of a leucine residue two positions upstream of the friedelin synthase Asp-Cys-Thr-Ala-Glu (DCTAE) active site motif, while the vast majority of OSCs identified so far have a valine or isoleucine residue at the same position. The substitution of the leucine residue with valine, threonine or isoleucine in M. ilicifolia friedelin synthase interfered with substrate recognition and lead to the production of different pentacyclic triterpenes. -
