RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Genes with valine glutamine (VQ) motifs play an essential role in plant growth, development, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, little information on the VQ genes in sweetpotato and other Ipomoea species is available. RESULTS: This study identified 55, 58, 50 and 47 VQ genes from sweetpotato (I. batatas), I.triflida, I. triloba and I. nil, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the VQ genes formed eight clades (I-VII), and the members in the same group exhibited similar exon-intron structure and conserved motifs distribution. The distribution of the VQ genes among the chromosomes of Ipomoea species was disproportional, with no VQ genes mapped on a few of each species' chromosomes. Duplication analysis suggested that segmental duplication significantly contributes to their expansion in sweetpotato, I.trifida, and I.triloba, while the segmental and tandem duplication contributions were comparable in I.nil. Cis-regulatory elements involved in stress responses, such as W-box, TGACG-motif, CGTCA-motif, ABRE, ARE, MBS, TCA-elements, LTR, and WUN-motif, were detected in the promoter regions of the VQ genes. A total of 30 orthologous groups were detected by syntenic analysis of the VQ genes. Based on the analysis of RNA-seq datasets, it was found that the VQ genes are expressed distinctly among different tissues and hormone or stress treatments. A total of 40 sweetpotato differentially expressed genes (DEGs) refer to biotic (sweetpotato stem nematodes and Ceratocystis fimbriata pathogen infection) or abiotic (cold, salt and drought) stress treatments were detected. Moreover, IbVQ8, IbVQ25 and IbVQ44 responded to the five stress treatments and were selected for quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis, and the results were consistent with the transcriptome analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Our study may provide new insights into the evolution of VQ genes in the four Ipomoea genomes and contribute to the future molecular breeding of sweetpotatoes.

RESUMO

The MYB transcription factors regulate plant growth, development, and defense responses. However, information about the MYB gene family in Ipomoea species is rare. Herein, we performed a comprehensive genome-wide comparative analysis of this gene family among seven Ipomoea species, sweet potato (I. batatas), I. trifida, I. triloba, I. nil, I. purpurea, I. cairica, and I. aquatic, and identified 296, 430, 411, 291, 226, 281, and 277 MYB genes, respectively. The identified MYB genes were classified into five types: 1R-MYB (MYB-related), 2R-MYB (R2R3-MYB), 3R-MYB (R1R2R3-MYB), 4R-MYB, and 5R-MYB, and the MYB-related or R2R3-MYB type was the most abundant MYB genes in the seven species. The Ipomoea MYB genes were classed into distinct subgroups based on the phylogenetic topology and the classification of the MYB superfamily in Arabidopsis. Analysis of gene structure and protein motifs revealed that members within the same phylogenetic group presented similar exon/intron and motif organization. The identified MYB genes were unevenly mapped on the chromosomes of each Ipomoea species. Duplication analysis indicated that segmental and tandem duplications contribute to expanding the Ipomoea MYB genes. Non-synonymous substitution (Ka) to synonymous substitution (Ks) [Ka/Ks] analysis showed that the duplicated Ipomoea MYB genes are mainly under purifying selection. Numerous cis-regulatory elements related to stress responses were detected in the MYB promoters. Six sweet potato transcriptome datasets referring to abiotic and biotic stresses were analyzed, and MYB different expression genes' (DEGs') responses to stress treatments were detected. Moreover, 10 sweet potato MYB DEGs were selected for qRT-PCR analysis. The results revealed that four responded to biotic stress (stem nematodes and Ceratocystis fimbriata pathogen infection) and six responded to the biotic stress (cold, drought, and salt). The results may provide new insights into the evolution of MYB genes in the Ipomoea genome and contribute to the future molecular breeding of sweet potatoes.

RESUMO

The nucleotide-binding site (NBS)-encoding gene is a major type of resistance (R) gene, and its diverse evolutionary patterns were analyzed in different angiosperm lineages. Until now, no comparative studies have been done on the NBS encoding genes in Ipomoea species. In this study, various numbers of NBS-encoding genes were identified across the whole genome of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) (#889), Ipomoea trifida (#554), Ipomoea triloba (#571), and Ipomoea nil (#757). Gene analysis showed that the CN-type and N-type were more common than the other types of NBS-encoding genes. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the NBS-encoding genes formed three monophyletic clades: CNL, TNL, and RNL, which were distinguished by amino acid motifs. The distribution of the NBS-encoding genes among the chromosomes was non-random and uneven; 83.13, 76.71, 90.37, and 86.39% of the genes occurred in clusters in sweet potato, I. trifida, I. triloba, and I. nil, respectively. The duplication pattern analysis reveals the presence of higher segmentally duplicated genes in sweet potatoes than tandemly duplicated ones. The opposite trend was found for the other three species. A total of 201 NBS-encoding orthologous genes were found to form synteny gene pairs between any two of the four Ipomea species, suggesting that each of the synteny gene pairs was derived from a common ancestor. The gene expression patterns were acquired by analyzing using the published datasets. To explore the candidate resistant genes in sweet potato, transcriptome analysis has been carried out using two resistant (JK20 and JK274) and susceptible cultivars (Tengfei and Santiandao) of sweet potato for stem nematodes and Ceratocystis fimbriata pathogen, respectively. A total of 11 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were found in Tengfei and JK20 for stem nematodes and 19 DEGs in Santiandao and JK274 for C. fimbriata. Moreover, six DEGs were further selected for quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis, and the results were consistent with the transcriptome analysis. The results may provide new insights into the evolution of NBS-encoding genes in the Ipomoea genome and contribute to the future molecular breeding of sweet potatoes.

RESUMO

The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is an important and widely grown crop, and the nitrogenase reductase (nifH) gene is the most widely sequenced marker gene used to identify nitrogen-fixing bacteria and archaea. There have been many examples of the isolation of the diazotrophic endophytes in sweet potatoes, and there has been no report on whether sweet potatoes and their wild ancestors harbored nifH genes. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of nifH genes has been conducted on these species by using bioinformatics and molecular biology methods. A total of 20, 19 and 17 nifH genes were identified for the first time in sweet potatoes, I. trifida and I. triloba, respectively. Based on a phylogenetic analysis, all of the nifH genes, except for g10233.t1, itf14g14040.t1 and itb14g15470.t1, were clustered into five independent clades: I, II, III, IV and V. The nifH genes clustered in the same phylogenetic branch showed a more similar distribution of conserved motifs and exons-introns than those of the other ones. All of the identified genes were further mapped on the 15 chromosomes of the sweet potato, I. trifida and I. triloba. No segmental duplication was detected in each genome of three Ipomoea species, and 0, 8 and 7 tandemly duplicated gene pairs were detected in the genome of the sweet potato, I. trifida and I. triloba, respectively. Synteny analysis between the three Ipomoea species revealed that there were 7, 7 and 8 syntenic gene pairs of nifH genes detected between the sweet potato and I. trifida, between the sweet potato and I. triloba and between I. trifida and I. triloba, respectively. All of the duplicated and syntenic nifH genes were subjected to purifying selection inside duplicated genomic elements during speciation, except for the tandemly duplicated gene pair itf11g07340.t2_itf11g07340.t3, which was subjected to positive selection. Different expression profiles were detected in the sweet potato, I. trifida and I. triloba. According to the above results, four nifH genes of the sweet potato (g950, g16683, g27094 and g33987) were selected for quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis in two sweet potato cultivars (Eshu 15 and Long 9) under nitrogen deficiency (N0) and normal (N1) conditions. All of them were upregulated in the N1 treatment and were consistent with the analysis of the RNA-seq data. We hope that these results will provide new insights into the nifH genes in the sweet potato and its wild ancestors and will contribute to the molecular breeding of sweet potatoes in the future.

RESUMO

The most predominant type of resistance (R) genes contain nucleotide-binding sites and leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) domains, characterization of which is helpful for plant resistance improvement. However, the NBS genes of Ipomoea trifida (H.B.K.) remain insufficient to date. In this study, a genome-wide analysis of the NBS-encoding gene in I. trifida (H.B.K.) was carried out. A total of 442 NBS encoding genes were identified, amounting to 1.37% of the total genes of I. trifida (H.B.K.). Based on the analysis of the domains, the identified ItfNBS genes were further classified into seven groups: CNL, NL, CN, N, TNL, TN, and RNL. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the I. trifida NBS genes clustered into three independent clades: RNL, TNL, and CNL. Chromosome location analysis revealed that the distribution of ItfNBS genes in chromosomes was uneven, with a number ranging from 3 to 45. Multiple stress-related regulatory elements were detected in the promoters of the NBS-encoding genes, and their expression profiles were obtained. The qRT-PCR analysis revealed that IbNBS10, IbNBS20, IbNBS258, and IbNBS88 responded to stem nematode infection. These results provide critical proof for further characterization and analysis of NBS-encoding genes with important functions.

RESUMO

Sweetpotato, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., is an important and widely grown crop, yet its production is affected severely by biotic and abiotic stresses. The nucleotide binding site (NBS)-encoding genes have been shown to improve stress tolerance in several plant species. However, the characterization of NBS-encoding genes in sweetpotato is not well-documented to date. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of NBS-encoding genes has been conducted on this species by using bioinformatics and molecular biology methods. A total of 315 NBS-encoding genes were identified, and 260 of them contained all essential conserved domains while 55 genes were truncated. Based on domain architectures, the 260 NBS-encoding genes were grouped into 6 distinct categories. Phylogenetic analysis grouped these genes into 3 classes: TIR, CC (I), and CC (II). Chromosome location analysis revealed that the distribution of NBS-encoding genes in chromosomes was uneven, with a number ranging from 1 to 34. Multiple stress-related regulatory elements were detected in the promoters, and the NBS-encoding genes' expression profiles under biotic and abiotic stresses were obtained. According to the bioinformatics analysis, 9 genes were selected for RT-qPCR analysis. The results revealed that IbNBS75, IbNBS219, and IbNBS256 respond to stem nematode infection; Ib-NBS240, IbNBS90, and IbNBS80 respond to cold stress, while IbNBS208, IbNBS71, and IbNBS159 respond to 30% PEG treatment. We hope these results will provide new insights into the evolution of NBS-encoding genes in the sweetpotato genome and contribute to the molecular breeding of sweetpotato in the future.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Sweetpotato, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., is an important food crop widely grown in the world. However, little is known about the genome of this species because it is a highly heterozygous hexaploid. Gaining a more in-depth knowledge of sweetpotato genome is therefore necessary and imperative. In this study, the first bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library of sweetpotato was constructed. Clones from the BAC library were end-sequenced and analyzed to provide genome-wide information about this species. RESULTS: The BAC library contained 240,384 clones with an average insert size of 101 kb and had a 7.93-10.82 × coverage of the genome, and the probability of isolating any single-copy DNA sequence from the library was more than 99%. Both ends of 8310 BAC clones randomly selected from the library were sequenced to generate 11,542 high-quality BAC-end sequences (BESs), with an accumulative length of 7,595,261 bp and an average length of 658 bp. Analysis of the BESs revealed that 12.17% of the sweetpotato genome were known repetitive DNA, including 7.37% long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons, 1.15% Non-LTR retrotransposons and 1.42% Class II DNA transposons etc., 18.31% of the genome were identified as sweetpotato-unique repetitive DNA and 10.00% of the genome were predicted to be coding regions. In total, 3,846 simple sequences repeats (SSRs) were identified, with a density of one SSR per 1.93 kb, from which 288 SSRs primers were designed and tested for length polymorphism using 20 sweetpotato accessions, 173 (60.07%) of them produced polymorphic bands. Sweetpotato BESs had significant hits to the genome sequences of I. trifida and more matches to the whole-genome sequences of Solanum lycopersicum than those of Vitis vinifera, Theobroma cacao and Arabidopsis thaliana. CONCLUSIONS: The first BAC library for sweetpotato has been successfully constructed. The high quality BESs provide first insights into sweetpotato genome composition, and have significant hits to the genome sequences of I. trifida and more matches to the whole-genome sequences of Solanum lycopersicum. These resources as a robust platform will be used in high-resolution mapping, gene cloning, assembly of genome sequences, comparative genomics and evolution for sweetpotato.

RESUMO

Myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase (MIPS) is a key rate limiting enzyme in myo-inositol biosynthesis. The MIPS gene has been shown to improve tolerance to abiotic stresses in several plant species. However, its role in resistance to biotic stresses has not been reported. In this study, we found that expression of the sweet potato IbMIPS1 gene was induced by NaCl, polyethylene glycol (PEG), abscisic acid (ABA) and stem nematodes. Its overexpression significantly enhanced stem nematode resistance as well as salt and drought tolerance in transgenic sweet potato under field conditions. Transcriptome and real-time quantitative PCR analyses showed that overexpression of IbMIPS1 up-regulated the genes involved in inositol biosynthesis, phosphatidylinositol (PI) and ABA signalling pathways, stress responses, photosynthesis and ROS-scavenging system under salt, drought and stem nematode stresses. Inositol, inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3 ), phosphatidic acid (PA), Ca(2+) , ABA, K(+) , proline and trehalose content was significantly increased, whereas malonaldehyde (MDA), Na(+) and H2 O2 content was significantly decreased in the transgenic plants under salt and drought stresses. After stem nematode infection, the significant increase of inositol, IP3 , PA, Ca(2+) , ABA, callose and lignin content and significant reduction of MDA content were found, and a rapid increase of H2 O2 levels was observed, peaked at 1 to 2 days and thereafter declined in the transgenic plants. This study indicates that the IbMIPS1 gene has the potential to be used to improve the resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses in plants.
