This book was released on 2024-04-18 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant fruits are important from a biological, nutritional, and economic perspective. Fruits are primary sources of minerals, vitamins, sugars, organic acids, proteins, and pigments (among other nutrient compounds) for animals and humans, and there exist a vast variety of forms, sizes, and flavors produced by plants. Since fruit biological function is determined through the expression of specific genes, it is important to identify and characterize those genes involved in each developmental and ripening stage, which can be achieved using transcriptomic approaches.

Book Synopsis Transcriptomic Characterization of Novel Fruit Ripening Pathways by : Seanna Louise Hewitt
Download or read book Transcriptomic Characterization of Novel Fruit Ripening Pathways written by Seanna Louise Hewitt and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ripening of climacteric fruits is characterized by a rise in respiration and concomitant burst of ethylene biosynthesis. While this general pattern is shared among climacteric fruits, there are a few exceptions. European pears (Pyrus communis) require a genetically pre-determined amount of cold exposure, called conditioning, to transition from System 1 (S1) to System 2 (S2) ethylene biosynthesis. Recent research from the lab has implicated pre-climacteric alternative oxidase activity in this transition. In addition to the need for cold exposure, European pear cultivars exhibit variability in response to ethylene receptor antagonist 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). Unlike apples and other climacteric fruits, pears do not regain their ripening capacity following 1-MCP treatment despite the conditioning treatment. A chemical genomics study aimed at activating alternative oxidase in 1-MCP treated pears identified glyoxylic acid for its ability to override the metabolic blockage of ethylene biosynthesis caused by 1-MCP.This dissertation characterizes a natural variation in climacteric ripening represented by European pear, by (1) Summarizing and distilling published information regarding the role of respiration in climacteric fruit. Many of the physiological and phenotypic changes that occur during ripening are attributed to ethylene, however the molecular and metabolic crosstalk between autocatalytic ethylene production and respiration are less understood. Results of recent work implicate the alternative oxidase (AOX) respiratory pathway in crosstalk between ethylene, respiration, and other ripening-associated processes; (2) Conducting comparative physiological and transcriptomics analyses of two pear genotypes that require different durations of cold temperature exposure in order to ripen. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that cold temperature conditioning leads to heightened expression of vernalization-associated genes, homologs of which are necessary for other cold-dependent processes like seed germination and flowering. These genes may serve as regulatory points in the initiation of ripening in fruit that require cold conditioning; (3) Assessing the impact of glyoxylic acid in chemical induction of ripening in 1-MCP treated 'D'Anjou' pear fruit using physiological and transcriptomics approaches. Results demonstrate that glyoxylic acid effectively elicits physiological responses as well as significant changes in global gene expression, including that of AOX, in 1-MCP treated pear fruit that would be otherwise incapable of ripening normally.

Book Synopsis Transcriptional Regulation in Apple Skin Cell Layers During Fruit Development and Ripening by : Patrick Collins
Download or read book Transcriptional Regulation in Apple Skin Cell Layers During Fruit Development and Ripening written by Patrick Collins and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fruit skin is a key component in many aspects of fruit development and quality. It is the first line of defence against pathogens, controls water loss, contains pigments and phytochemicals, and controls fruit growth through its ability to grow and stretch. Malus x domestica (apple) skin has two distinct cell layers, the epidermis and hypodermis, which cover the cortex (flesh). These distinct cell types are specialised and are known to regulate the different biomechanical properties of the skin during development. Because of the complex nature of the skin and the difficulty in studying individual cell layers, there is a poor understanding of how the skin changes during development and ripening. With accessibility to laser capture microdissection technology and the increased sensitivity in molecular analysis it is now possible to investigate this in more detail. During fruit ripening the skin becomes more porous to water, which contributes to the softening process. Spatiotemporal gene regulation of cell wall-related enzymes linked to increased porosity seen in fruit during ripening was investigated. A laser capture microdissection methodology was developed for isolating the two specific cell types of the skin (hypodermis and epidermis), along with the underlying cortex cells. This methodology was optimized to retain mRNA quality in each specific cell type. The value of cell-type dissection as a transcript-enrichment strategy was confirmed with the enrichment in epidermal and hypodermal transcripts associated with cuticle biosynthesis and flavour volatiles. Gene expression analysis of these tissues has uncovered many specialized genes and expression patterns within key biochemical pathways in fruit development. Active cell wall metabolism was also deduced exclusively in the epidermis tissues based on the expression of some genes involved in cell wall polysaccharide synthesis and modification. Novel functions of the hypodermis tissue layer were uncovered, with expression patterns that suggest a significant role in cell wall loosening and anthocyanin/flavonoid production. Uncovering a detailed map of tissue-specific gene regulation involved in fruit expansion and quality after harvest can enhance our understanding of the mechanisms that govern fruit quality. It is anticipated that the discrete spatial and temporal patterns of gene expression seen in apple can contribute to future breeding programmes and molecular discovery programmes aimed at improving skin quality for an economically important crop.

Book Synopsis Comparative and Evolutionary Genomics of Angiosperm Trees by : Andrew Groover
Download or read book Comparative and Evolutionary Genomics of Angiosperm Trees written by Andrew Groover and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marking the change in focus of tree genomics from single species to comparative approaches, this book covers biological, genomic, and evolutionary aspects of angiosperm trees that provide information and perspectives to support researchers broadening the focus of their research. The diversity of angiosperm trees in morphology, anatomy, physiology and biochemistry has been described and cataloged by various scientific disciplines, but the molecular, genetic, and evolutionary mechanisms underlying this diversity have only recently been explored. Excitingly, advances in genomic and sequencing technologies are ushering a new era of research broadly termed comparative genomics, which simultaneously exploits and describes the evolutionary origins and genetic regulation of traits of interest. Within tree genomics, this research is already underway, as the number of complete genome sequences available for angiosperm trees is increasing at an impressive pace and the number of species for which RNAseq data are available is rapidly expanding. Because they are extensively covered by other literature and are rapidly changing, technical and computational approaches—such as the latest sequencing technologies—are not a main focus of this book. Instead, this comprehensive volume provides a valuable, broader view of tree genomics whose relevance will outlive the particulars of current-day technical approaches. The first section of the book discusses background on the evolution and diversification of angiosperm trees, as well as offers description of the salient features and diversity of the unique physiology and wood anatomy of angiosperm trees. The second section explores the two most advanced model angiosperm tree species (poplars and eucalypts) as well as species that are soon to emerge as new models. The third section describes the structural features and evolutionary histories of angiosperm tree genomes, followed by a fourth section focusing on the genomics of traits of biological, ecological, and economic interest. In summary, this book is a timely and well-referenced foundational resource for the forest tree community looking to embrace comparative approaches for the study of angiosperm trees.
Book Synopsis Ethylene Receptors Modulate Fruit Development and Ripening by : Yi Chen (docteur en biologie végétale).)
Download or read book Ethylene Receptors Modulate Fruit Development and Ripening written by Yi Chen (docteur en biologie végétale).) and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethylene is synthesized and perceived by all plants, and it is one of the most important phytohormone controlling fruit ripening. Ethylene is perceived by endoplasmic reticulum (ER)- localized proteins, called Ethylene Receptors (ETRs), which regulate fruit development and ripening, however the mechanisms by which ETRs regulate fruit ripening are not fully explained. Firstly, to study if ETRs regulate the ripening of climacteric and non-climacteric fruits, we compared ETRs and related protein members of both classes of fruit and by re-analyzing RNAseq data, already published, we found that ETRs were peaking at the inception of ripening in both climacteric and non- climacteric fruits, but in these data, the ETRs showed an earlier ETR expression peak relative to sugar accumulation. In this review, we also compared the structure of the ethylene receptors and related proteins in both classes of fruit, establishing a basis for the annotation of genes related to ethylene perception. Finally, the results show that there was a higher number of ETR genes in climacteric fruits than in non-climacteric fruits. Secondly, in tomato which is a fleshy fruit ripening model, a seventh ETR has been reported recently, following the genome sequencing. Characterization of this SlETR7 was carried out. We showed that ethylene binds to the transmembrane part of SlETR7. Like other ETR expression patterns during fruit ripening, SlETR7 expression in pericarp also goes up when fruit ripens. The profiles of the seven ETR expression during fruit ripening can be divided in 2 groups: group 1, ETR3, ETR4, and ETR6 are expressed earlier at Breaker+2 days than group 2, SlETR1, SlETR2, SlETR5, and SlETR7 that are expressed at a later stage of ripening. We constructed Knock Out (KO) and OverExpressed (OE) tomato lines for SlETR7, and we observed some phenotype changes proving that SlETR7 is a functional ETR. While there was only a small phenotype change in KO plants and fruits: more ethylene production at Br and Br+2days compared to Wild Type (WT). The OE lines showed early flowering, shorter plants, and smaller fruit than WT. The analyzes of the 7 ETR expression in KO and OE lines, revealed that other ETR expression is upregulated in KO mutants, which may explain the absence of obvious phenotype. and this suggest that SlETR7 maybe not critical in fruit ripening. Thirdly, regarding the studies of the seven tomato ETRs, one major bottleneck is the absence of reliable method to quantify them at the protein level. A targeted proteomic method was developed, PRM for Parallel Reaction Monitoring, and allow the identification and relative quantification of the seven tomato ETRs. This development applied to the study of the WT and Never Ripe mutant tomatoes showed that there is an over-accumulation of SlETR3, affected by a gain-of-function mutation in NR, while the NR tomatoes undergo ripening, which may be a cause of further ripening inhibition, as NR fruit stay orange. Finally, ETR mRNAs and proteins were analyzed within the same samples, and this led us to propose that there is a positive correlation between ETR mRNAs and proteins, which was controversial in the previous literature.
