Population structure and adaptability analysis of Schizothorax o'connori based on whole-genome resequencing. BMC Genomics 2024; 25:145. [PMID: 38321406 PMCID: PMC10845765 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-024-09975-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Schizothorax o'connori is an endemic fish distributed in the upper and lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River in China. It has experienced a fourth round of whole gene replication events and is a good model for exploring the genetic differentiation and environmental adaptability of fish in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has led to changes in the river system, thereby affecting gene exchange and population differentiation between fish populations. With the release of fish whole genome data, whole genome resequencing has been widely used in genetic evolutionary analysis and screening of selected genes in fish, which can better elucidate the genetic basis and molecular environmental adaptation mechanisms of fish. Therefore, our purpose of this study was to understand the population structure and adaptive characteristics of S. o'connori using the whole-genome resequencing method. RESULTS The results showed that 23,602,746 SNPs were identified from seven populations, mostly distributed on chromosomes 2 and 23. There was no significant genetic differentiation between the populations, and the genetic diversity was relatively low. However, the Zangga population could be separated from the Bomi, Linzhi, and Milin populations in the cluster analysis. Based on historical dynamics analysis of the population, the size of the ancestral population of S. o'connori was affected by the late accelerated uplift of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the Fourth Glacial Age. The selected sites were mostly enriched in pathways related to DNA repair and energy metabolism. CONCLUSION Overall, the whole-genome resequencing analysis provides valuable insights into the population structure and adaptive characteristics of S. o'connori. There was no obvious genetic differentiation at the genome level between the S. o'connori populations upstream and downstream of the Yarlung Zangbo River. The current distribution pattern and genetic diversity are influenced by the late accelerated uplift of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the Fourth Ice Age. The selected sites of S. o'connori are enriched in the energy metabolism and DNA repair pathways to adapt to the low temperature and strong ultraviolet radiation environment at high altitude.

Genetic diversity, transcript heterogeneity and allele mining of TaSKP1-6B-4 gene variants across diverse genotypes under terminal heat stress and genome wide characterization of TaSKP1 gene family from bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). PLANT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2023; 113:279-301. [PMID: 37985582 DOI: 10.1007/s11103-023-01389-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
SKP1 (S-phase kinase protein1) is an essential regulatory component of SCF (Skp1-cullin-F-box) E3 ubiquitin ligases involved in maintenance of cellular protein homeostasis through ubiquitin mediated proteasome system (UPS). UPS play a key role in stress response and grain yield. Earlier, we isolated TaSKP1-6B-4, highly induced in flag leaf tissues (Accession No. KJ830759.1) of developing wheat caryopses under heat stress. To further assess the functional role of SKP1, genetic variability analysis was carried out in a panel of 25 contrasting germplasm through extensive phenotyping and transcript profiling of TaSKP1-6B-4 during anthesis under ambient and terminal heat stress (THS) in field experiments for two consecutive years. The analysis of variance revealed significant variations for all the traits studied. Higher H2(%), GCV, PCV, GA and GA% mean observed in tiller number per plant (23.81, 17.65, 5.71, 28, 30.86%) and grain number per head (30.27, 82.79, 60.16, 105.00, 108.64%) under THS over ambient temperature. Higher fold induction of TaSKP1-6B-4 transcripts was recorded in 10 genotypes viz. HD2967 (9.9), IC145456 (6.18) in flag leaf; while C-306 (15.88), RAJ3765 (8.37) in ear head. Allele mining of SKP1-6B-4 showed genotypic sequence variations. Whole genome wide search of SKP1 gene family identified 95 SKP1 genes which were structurally characterized. Grain yield, leaf senescence and other agronomic-morpho-physiological parameters combined with transcript profiling, cvHD2967, was found to be the best positively responsive to THS which by pedigree was not heat tolerant. We report a novel 2 year comprehensive field based analysis on collective genetic variability and SKP1/UPS modulation under a natural environmental setting. The data reveals potential functional role of UPS under THS and tolerant cultivars can be further utilized for clarifying the role of UPS mechanistically at the molecular level and for developing terminal heat stress tolerant wheat.

Population transcriptomics uncover the relative roles of positive selection and differential expression in Batrachium bungei adaptation to the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau. PLANT CELL REPORTS 2023; 42:879-893. [PMID: 36973418 DOI: 10.1007/s00299-023-03005-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Positive selection genes are related to metabolism, while differentially expressed genes are related to photosynthesis, suggesting that genetic adaptation and expression regulation may play independent roles in different gene classes. Genome-wide investigation of the molecular mechanisms for high-altitude adaptation is an intriguing topic in evolutionary biology. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) with its extremely variable environments is an ideal site for studying high-altitude adaptation. Here, we used transcriptome data of 100 individuals from 20 populations collected from various altitudes on the QTP to investigate the adaptive mechanisms of the aquatic plant Batrachium bungei at both the genetic and transcriptional level. To explore genes and biological pathways that may contribute to QTP adaptation, we employed a two-step approach, in which we identified positively selected genes and differentially expressed genes using the landscape genomic and differential expression approaches. The positive selection analysis showed that genes involved in metabolic regulation played a crucial role in B. bungei adaptation to the extreme environments of the QTP, especially intense ultraviolet radiation. Altitude-based differential expression analysis suggested that B. bungei could increase the rate of energy dissipation or reduce the efficiency of light energy absorption by down regulating the expression of photosynthesis-related genes to adapt to the strong ultraviolet radiation. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis identified ribosomal genes as hubs of altitude adaptation in B. bungei. Only a small part of genes (about 10%) overlapped between positively selected genes and differentially expressed genes in B. bungei, suggesting that genetic adaptation and gene expression regulation might play relatively independent roles in different categories of functional genes. Taken together, this study enriches our understanding of the high-altitude adaptation mechanism of B. bungei on the QTP.
