Comparison and Characterization of Phenotypic and Genomic Mutations Induced by a Carbon-Ion Beam and Gamma-ray Irradiation in Soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr.). Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24108825. [PMID: 37240171 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24108825] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a nutritious crop that can provide both oil and protein. A variety of mutagenesis methods have been proposed to obtain better soybean germplasm resources. Among the different types of physical mutagens, carbon-ion beams are considered to be highly efficient with high linear energy transfer (LET), and gamma rays have also been widely used for mutation breeding. However, systematic knowledge of the mutagenic effects of these two mutagens during development and on phenotypic and genomic mutations has not yet been elucidated in soybean. To this end, dry seeds of Williams 82 soybean were irradiated with a carbon-ion beam and gamma rays. The biological effects of the M1 generation included changes in survival rate, yield and fertility. Compared with gamma rays, the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of the carbon-ion beams was between 2.5 and 3.0. Furthermore, the optimal dose for soybean was determined to be 101 Gy to 115 Gy when using the carbon-ion beam, and it was 263 Gy to 343 Gy when using gamma rays. A total of 325 screened mutant families were detected from out of 2000 M2 families using the carbon-ion beam, and 336 screened mutant families were found using gamma rays. Regarding the screened phenotypic M2 mutations, the proportion of low-frequency phenotypic mutations was 23.4% when using a carbon ion beam, and the proportion was 9.8% when using gamma rays. Low-frequency phenotypic mutations were easily obtained with the carbon-ion beam. After screening the mutations from the M2 generation, their stability was verified, and the genome mutation spectrum of M3 was systemically profiled. A variety of mutations, including single-base substitutions (SBSs), insertion-deletion mutations (INDELs), multinucleotide variants (MNVs) and structural variants (SVs) were detected with both carbon-ion beam irradiation and gamma-ray irradiation. Overall, 1988 homozygous mutations and 9695 homozygous + heterozygous genotype mutations were detected when using the carbon-ion beam. Additionally, 5279 homozygous mutations and 14,243 homozygous + heterozygous genotype mutations were detected when using gamma rays. The carbon-ion beam, which resulted in low levels of background mutations, has the potential to alleviate the problems caused by linkage drag in soybean mutation breeding. Regarding the genomic mutations, when using the carbon-ion beam, the proportion of homozygous-genotype SVs was 0.45%, and that of homozygous + heterozygous-genotype SVs was 6.27%; meanwhile, the proportions were 0.04% and 4.04% when using gamma rays. A higher proportion of SVs were detected when using the carbon ion beam. The gene effects of missense mutations were greater under carbon-ion beam irradiation, and the gene effects of nonsense mutations were greater under gamma-ray irradiation, which meant that the changes in the amino acid sequences were different between the carbon-ion beam and gamma rays. Taken together, our results demonstrate that both carbon-ion beam and gamma rays are effective techniques for rapid mutation breeding in soybean. If one would like to obtain mutations with a low-frequency phenotype, low levels of background genomic mutations and mutations with a higher proportion of SVs, carbon-ion beams are the best choice.

Hase Y, Satoh K, Kitamura S. Comparative analysis of seed and seedling irradiation with gamma rays and carbon ions for mutation induction in Arabidopsis. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1149083.

Abstract
The molecular nature of mutations induced by ionizing radiation and chemical mutagens in plants is becoming clearer owing to the availability of high-throughput DNA sequencing technology. However, few studies have compared the induced mutations between different radiation qualities and between different irradiated materials with the same analysis method. To compare mutation induction between dry-seeds and seedlings irradiated with carbon ions and gamma rays in Arabidopsis, in this study we detected the mutations induced by seedling irradiation with gamma rays and analyzed the data together with data previously obtained for the other irradiation treatments. Mutation frequency at the equivalent dose for survival reduction was higher with gamma rays than with carbon ions, and was higher with dry-seed irradiation than with seedling irradiation. Carbon ions induced a higher frequency of deletions (2-99 bp) than gamma rays in the case of dry-seed irradiation, but this difference was less evident in the case of seedling irradiation. This result supported the inference that dry-seed irradiation under a lower water content more clearly reflects the difference in radiation quality. However, the ratio of rearrangements (inversions, translocations, and deletions larger than 100 bp), which are considered to be derived from the rejoining of two distantly located DNA breaks, was significantly higher with carbon ions than gamma rays irrespective of the irradiated material. This finding suggested that high-linear energy transfer radiation induced closely located DNA damage, irrespective of the water content of the material, that could lead to the generation of rearrangements. Taken together, the results provide an overall picture of radiation-induced mutation in Arabidopsis and will be useful for selection of a suitable radiation treatment for mutagenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mining of new allelic variation and the induction of new genetic variability are the basis for improving breeding efficiency. RESULTS In this study, in total, 3872 heavy ion-irradiated M2 generation rice seeds and individual leaves were collected. The grain length was between 8 and 10.22 mm. The grain width was between 1.54 and 2.87 mm. The results showed that there was extensive variation in granulotype. The allelic variation in GS3 and GW5 was detected in 484 mixed samples (8:1) using targeted sequencing technology, and 12 mixed samples containing potential mutations and 15 SNPs were obtained; combined with Sanger sequencing and phenotype data, 13 key mutants and their corresponding SNPs were obtained; protein structural and functional analysis of key mutants screened out 6 allelic variants leading to altered grain shape, as well as the corresponding mutants, including long-grain mutants GS3-2 and GS3-7, short-grain mutants GS3-3 and GS3-5, wide-grain mutant GW5-1 and narrow-grain mutant GW5-4; whole genome sequencing identified new grain length gene allelic variants GS3-G1, GS3-G2 and GS3-G3. CONCLUSION Based on the above studies, we found 6 granulotype mutants and 9 granulotype-related allelic variants, which provided new functional gene loci and a material basis for molecular breeding and genotype mutation and phenotype analysis. We propose a method for targeted identification of allelic variation in rice grain type genes by combining targeted sequencing of mixed samples and whole genome sequencing. The method has the characteristics of low detection cost, short detection period, and flexible detection of traits and genes.

Abstract
Novel genetic variations can be obtained by inducing mutations in the plant which help to achieve novel traits. The useful mutant can be obtained through radiation mutation in a short period which can be used as a new material to produce new varieties with high yield and good quality wheat. In this paper, the proteomic analysis of wheat treated with different doses of 12C and 7Li ion beam radiation at the seedling stage was carried out through a Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) tagging quantitative proteomic analysis platform based on high-resolution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the traditional 60Co-γ-ray radiation treatment for reference. A total of 4,764 up-regulated and 5,542 down-regulated differentially expressed proteins were identified. These proteins were mainly enriched in the KEGG pathway associated with amino acid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, carbon metabolism, photosynthesis, signal transduction, protein synthesis, and DNA replication. Functional analysis of the differentially expressed proteins showed that the oxidative defense system in the plant defense system was fully involved in the defense response after 12C ion beam and 7Li ion beam radiation treatments. Photosynthesis and photorespiration were inhibited after 12C ion beam and 60Co-γ-ray irradiation treatments, while there was no effect on the plant with 7Li ion beam treatment. In addition, the synthesis of biomolecules such as proteins, as well as multiple signal transduction pathways also respond to radiations. Some selected differentially expressed proteins were verified by Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM) and qPCR, and the experimental results were consistent with the quantitative results of TMT. The present study shows that the physiological effect of 12C ion beam radiation treatment is different as compared to the 7Li ion beam, but its similar to the 60Co-γ ray depicting a significant effect on the plant by using the same dose. The results of this study will provide a theoretical basis for the application of 12C and 7Li ion beam radiation in the mutation breeding of wheat and other major crops and promote the development of heavy ion beam radiation mutation breeding technology.

Abstract
Radiation-induced mutations have been detected by whole-genome sequencing analyses of self-pollinated generations of mutagenized plants. However, large DNA alterations and mutations in non-germline cells were likely missed. In this study, in order to detect various types of mutations in mutagenized M1 plants, anthocyanin pigmentation was used as a visible marker of mutations. Arabidopsis seeds heterozygous for the anthocyanin biosynthetic genes were irradiated with gamma-rays. Anthocyanin-less vegetative sectors resulting from a loss of heterozygosity were isolated from the gamma-irradiated M1 plants. The whole-genome sequencing analysis of the sectors detected various mutations, including structural variations (SVs) and large deletions (≥100 bp), both of which have been less characterized in the previous researches using gamma-irradiated plant genomes of M2 or later generations. Various types of rejoined sites were found in SVs, including no-insertion/deletion (indel) sites, only-deletion sites, only-insertion sites, and indel sites, but the rejoined sites with 0–5 bp indels represented most of the SVs. Examinations of the junctions of rearrangements (SVs and large deletions), medium deletions (10–99 bp), and small deletions (2–9 bp) revealed unique features (i.e., frequency of insertions and microhomology) at the rejoined sites. These results suggest that they were formed preferentially via different processes. Additionally, mutations that occurred in putative single M1 cells were identified according to the distribution of their allele frequency. The estimated mutation frequencies and spectra of the M1 cells were similar to those of previously analyzed M2 cells, with the exception of the greater proportion of rearrangements in the M1 cells. These findings suggest there are no major differences in the small mutations (<100 bp) between vegetative and germline cells. Thus, this study generated valuable information that may help clarify the nature of gamma-irradiation-induced mutations and their occurrence in cells that develop into vegetative or reproductive tissues. Mutations that occur in plant genome are not only related to plant evolution and speciation in nature, and also useful to identify novel gene functions and to develop new cultivars. Ionizing radiations induce various types of mutations throughout genomes in individual cells of an irradiated/mutagenized plant. However, current knowledge on radiation-induced genome-wide mutations in plants relied on the analyses of self-pollinated generations (M2 or later generations) of the mutagenized plants (M1 generation). Thus, mutations that are hardly transmitted to the next generation and those occurred in non-germline cells could not be investigated. Here, using anthocyanin pigmentation as a visible marker to reduce the genomic complexity in M1 plants, we achieved reliable detection of radiation-induced genome-wide mutations. We demonstrated that rearrangements, which were hardly detected in previous analyses using M2 genomes, occurred substantially often in gamma-irradiated M1 cells. We also revealed that mutation profile of the M1 cells was comparable with that of M2 genomes reported in previous analyses, except for the higher proportion of rearrangements in the M1 genome. Together with unique features at rejoined sites of rearrangements, medium deletions, and small deletions in the M1 genome, our findings are helpful to know the nature of genome-wide mutations induced by gamma-irradiation.

Frequency and Spectrum of Mutations Induced by Gamma Rays Revealed by Phenotype Screening and Whole-Genome Re-Sequencing in Arabidopsis thaliana. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23020654.

Abstract
Genetic variations are an important source of germplasm diversity, as it provides an allele resource that contributes to the development of new traits for plant breeding. Gamma rays have been widely used as a physical agent for mutation creation in plants, and their mutagenic effect has attracted extensive attention. However, few studies are available on the comprehensive mutation profile at both the large-scale phenotype mutation screening and whole-genome mutation scanning. In this study, biological effects on M1 generation, large-scale phenotype screening in M2 generation, as well as whole-genome re-sequencing of seven M3 phenotype-visible lines were carried out to comprehensively evaluate the mutagenic effects of gamma rays on Arabidopsis thaliana. A total of 417 plants with visible mutated phenotypes were isolated from 20,502 M2 plants, and the phenotypic mutation frequency of gamma rays was 2.03% in Arabidopsis thaliana. On average, there were 21.57 single-base substitutions (SBSs) and 11.57 small insertions and deletions (InDels) in each line. Single-base InDels accounts for 66.7% of the small InDels. The genomic mutation frequency was 2.78 × 10−10/bp/Gy. The ratio of transition/transversion was 1.60, and 64.28% of the C > T events exhibited the pyrimidine dinucleotide sequence; 69.14% of the small InDels were located in the sequence with 1 to 4 bp terminal microhomology that was used for DNA end rejoining, while SBSs were less dependent on terminal microhomology. Nine genes, on average, were predicted to suffer from functional alteration in each re-sequenced line. This indicated that a suitable mutation gene density was an advantage of gamma rays when trying to improve elite materials for one certain or a few traits. These results will aid the full understanding of the mutagenic effects and mechanisms of gamma rays and provide a basis for suitable mutagen selection and parameter design, which can further facilitate the development of more controlled mutagenesis methods for plant mutation breeding.

Abstract
Protons may have contributed to the evolution of plants as a major component of cosmic-rays and also have been used for mutagenesis in plants. Although the mutagenic effect of protons has been well-characterized in animals, no comprehensive phenotypic and genomic analyses has been reported in plants. Here, we investigated the phenotypes and whole genome sequences of Arabidopsis M2 lines derived by irradiation with proton beams and gamma-rays, to determine unique characteristics of proton beams in mutagenesis. We found that mutation frequency was dependent on the irradiation doses of both proton beams and gamma-rays. On the basis of the relationship between survival and mutation rates, we hypothesized that there may be a mutation rate threshold for survived individuals after irradiation. There were no significant differences between the total mutation rates in groups derived using proton beam or gamma-ray irradiation at doses that had similar impacts on survival rate. However, proton beam irradiation resulted in a broader mutant phenotype spectrum than gamma-ray irradiation, and proton beams generated more DNA structural variations (SVs) than gamma-rays. The most frequent SV was inversion. Most of the inversion junctions contained sequences with microhomology and were associated with the deletion of only a few nucleotides, which implies that preferential use of microhomology in non-homologous end joining was likely to be responsible for the SVs. These results show that protons, as particles with low linear energy transfer (LET), have unique characteristics in mutagenesis that partially overlap with those of low-LET gamma-rays and high-LET heavy ions in different respects.

Abstract
Ion beams are physical mutagens used for plant and microbe breeding that cause mutations via a mechanism distinct from those of chemical mutagens or gamma rays. We utilized whole-exome sequencing of rice DNA in order to understand the properties of ion beam-induced mutations in a genome-wide manner. DNA libraries were constructed from selected carbon-ion-beam-induced rice mutants by capturing with a custom probes covering 66.3 M bases of nearly all exons and miRNAs predicted in the genome. A total of 56 mutations, including 24 single nucleotide variations, 23 deletions, and 5 insertions, were detected in five mutant rice lines (two dwarf and three early-heading-date mutants). The mutations were distributed among all 12 chromosomes, and the average mutation frequency in the M1 generation was estimated to be 2.7 × 10-7 per base. Many single base insertions and deletions were associated with homopolymeric repeats, whereas larger deletions up to seven base pairs were observed at polynucleotide repeats in the DNA sequences of the mutation sites. Of the 56 mutations, six were classified as high-impact mutations that caused a frame shift or loss of exons. A gene that was functionally related to the phenotype of the mutant was disrupted by a high-impact mutation in four of the five lines tested, suggesting that whole-exome sequencing of ion-beam-irradiated mutants could facilitate the detection of candidate genes responsible for the mutant phenotypes.

Chang S, Lee U, Hong MJ, Jo YD, Kim JB. High-Throughput Phenotyping (HTP) Data Reveal Dosage Effect at Growth Stages in Arabidopsis thaliana Irradiated by Gamma Rays. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 9:E557. [PMID: 32349236 PMCID: PMC7284948 DOI: 10.3390/plants9050557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2020] [Revised: 04/22/2020] [Accepted: 04/24/2020] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
The effects of radiation dosages on plant species are quantitatively presented as the lethal dose or the dose required for growth reduction in mutation breeding. However, lethal dose and growth reduction fail to provide dynamic growth behavior information such as growth rate after irradiation. Irradiated seeds of Arabidopsis were grown in an environmentally controlled high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) platform to capture growth images that were analyzed with machine learning algorithms. Analysis of digital phenotyping data revealed unique growth patterns following treatments below LD50 value at 641 Gy. Plants treated with 100-Gy gamma irradiation showed almost identical growth pattern compared with wild type; the hormesis effect was observed >21 days after sowing. In 200 Gy-treated plants, a uniform growth pattern but smaller rosette areas than the wild type were seen (p < 0.05). The shift between vegetative and reproductive stages was not retarded by irradiation at 200 and 300 Gy although growth inhibition was detected under the same irradiation dose. Results were validated using 200 and 300 Gy doses with HTP in a separate study. To our knowledge, this is the first study to apply a HTP platform to measure and analyze the dosage effect of radiation in plants. The method enabled an in-depth analysis of growth patterns, which could not be detected previously due to a lack of time-series data. This information will improve our knowledge about the effects of radiation in model plant species and crops.

Dark/Light Treatments Followed by γ-Irradiation Increase the Frequency of Leaf-Color Mutants in Cymbidium. PLANTS 2020; 9:plants9040532.

Abstract
Radiation randomly induces chromosomal mutations in plants. However, it was recently found that the frequency of flower-color mutants could be specifically increased by upregulating anthocyanin pathway gene expression before radiation treatments. The mechanisms of chlorophyll biosynthesis and degradation are active areas of plant study because chlorophyll metabolism is closely connected to photosynthesis. In this study, we determined the dark/light treatment conditions that resulted in upregulation of the expression levels of six chlorophyll pathway genes, uroporphyrinogen III synthase (HEMD), uroporphyrinogen III decarboxylase (HEME2), NADPH-protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (POR) A (PORA), chlorophyll synthase (CHLG), chlorophyllase (CLH2), and red chlorophyll catabolite reductase (RCCR), and measured their effects on the γ-irradiation-induced frequencies of leaf-color mutants in two Cymbidium cultivars. To degrade chlorophyll in rhizomes, 60–75 days of dark treatment were required. To upregulate the expressions of chlorophyll pathway genes, 10 days of light treatment appeared to be optimal. Dark/light treatments followed by γ-irradiation increased chlorophyll-related leaf mutants by 1.4- to 2.0-fold compared with γ-ray treatment alone. Dark/light treatments combined with γ-irradiation increased the frequency of leaf-color mutants in Cymbidium, which supports the wider implementation of a plant breeding methodology that increases the mutation frequency of a target trait by controlling the expression of target trait-related genes.

Abstract
Gamma rays are the most frequently used ionizing radiation in plant mutagenesis; however, few studies are available on the characteristics of mutations at a genome-wide level. Here, we quantitatively and qualitatively characterized the mutations induced by acute/chronic gamma ray irradiation in Arabidopsis. The data were then compared with those previously obtained for carbon ion irradiation. In the acute irradiation of dry seeds at the same effective survival dose, gamma rays and carbon ions differed substantially, with the former inducing a significantly greater number of total mutation events, while the number of gene-affecting mutation events did not differ between the treatments. This may result from the gamma rays predominantly inducing single-base substitutions, while carbon ions frequently induced deletions ≥2 bp. Mutation accumulation lines prepared by chronic gamma irradiation with 100-500 mGy/h in five successive generations showed higher mutation frequencies per dose compared with acute irradiation of dry seeds. Chronic gamma ray irradiation may induce larger genetic changes compared with acute gamma ray irradiation. In addition, the transition/transversion ratio decreased as the dose rate increased, suggesting that plants responded to very low dose rates of gamma rays (∼1 mGy/h), even though the overall mutation frequency did not increase. These data will aid our understanding of the effects of radiation types and be useful in selecting suitable radiation treatments for mutagenesis.

Abstract
Mutation-breeding technologies are useful tools for the development of new biological resources in plants and microorganisms. In Takasaki Ion Accelerators for Advanced Radiation Application (TIARA) at the National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology, Japan, ion beams were explored as novel mutagens. The mutagenic effects of various ion beams on eukaryotic and prokaryotic microorganisms were described and their application in breeding technology for industrial microorganisms were discussed. Generally, the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) depended on the liner energy transfer (LET) and the highest RBE values were obtained with 12C5+ ion beams. The highest mutation frequencies were obtained at radiation doses that gave 1%–10% of surviving fraction. By using 12C5+ ion beams in this dose range, many microorganisms have been improved successfully at TIARA. Therefore, ion-beam breeding technology for microorganisms will have applications in many industries, including stable food production, sustainable agriculture, environmental conservation, and development of energy resources in the near future. Moreover, genome analyses of the ion-beam-induced mutants are in progress to clear the differences of mutational functions induced by different LET radiations in microorganisms. Further characterizations of mutations induced by different LET radiations will facilitate more effective use of ion beams in microorganisms breeding.

Abstract
Mutation breeding and functional genomics studies of mutant populations have made important contributions to plant research involving the application of radiation. The frequency and spectrum of induced mutations have long been regarded as the crucial determinants of the efficiency of the development and use of mutant populations. Systematic studies regarding the mutation frequency and spectrum, including genetic and genomic analyses, have recently resulted in considerable advances. These studies have consistently shown that the mutation frequency and spectrum are affected by diverse factors, including radiation type, linear energy transfer, and radiation dose, as well as the plant tissue type and condition. Moreover, the whole-genome sequencing of mutant individuals based on next-generation sequencing technologies has enabled the genome-wide quantification of mutation frequencies according to DNA mutation types as well as the elucidation of mutation mechanisms based on sequence characteristics. These studies will contribute to the development of a highly efficient and more controlled mutagenesis method relevant for the customized research of plants. We herein review the characteristics of radiation-induced mutations in plants, mainly focusing on recent whole-genome sequencing analyses as well as factors affecting the mutation frequency and spectrum.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution is harmful to the environment and to human health. Resistant strains can grow in adverse conditions and store heavy metals to reduce their damage. The Cd2+ resistant mutant strain C2, which was irradiated by the 12C6+ beams, can grow in Cd medium ranging from 20 to 100 mg L-1 when compared with the original strain. Attempting to discern the cause of the resistance, the phenotype and antioxidant defense system were analyzed. SEM images showed that when exposed to Cd2+, gaps on the cell surface were filled with a complex granular compound. FT-IR demonstrated that the alcoholic hydroxyl group, amino, and amide groups combined with ions. Moreover, responses of antioxidant defense system were different in the Cd2+ groups. The expression of SOD peaked at 24 h in high concentrations of Cd2+; the content of GSH increased gradually and was significantly affected by cultivation time. The MDA and CAT had the strongest response to 20 mg L-1 Cd2+, and the related metabolic pathway of CAT might play a key role in the resistance to high concentrations of Cd2+. The result indicated that the applicability of C2 could provide potential biotechnology for treatment of wastewaters and soils with Cd pollutions.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation including heavy-ion beams has been widely used in mutation breeding. Dry seeds, seedlings, and cultured tissues are often used for mutagenesis; however, little is known about the differences in induced mutations among them. Here, we examined the characteristics of mutations using randomly chosen Arabidopsis M2 plants derived from dry seeds and seedlings irradiated with carbon ions. The mutation frequency was 1.4-1.9 times higher in dry-seed irradiation than in seedling irradiation. This difference was mainly due to the three-times higher frequency of insertions and deletions (InDels) in dry-seed irradiation than in seedling irradiation. This difference increased the proportion of mutations predicted to affect gene function among all mutations identified by whole genome re-sequencing. Our results demonstrate that the physiological status of plant tissue greatly affects the characteristics of mutations induced by ionizing radiation, and that dry seeds are more suitable materials than seedlings for inducing loss-of-function mutations. The results also showed that single base deletions often occurred in homopolymeric sequences, while InDels larger than 2-3 bp often occurred in or near polynucleotide-repeat or microhomologous sequences. Interestingly, microhomology was less commonly found around large deletions (≥50 bp), suggesting that the rejoining process differs depending on the deletion size.

Strategies for identification of mutations induced by carbon-ion beam irradiation in Arabidopsis thaliana by whole genome re-sequencing. Mutat Res 2017; 807:21-30.

Abstract
Heavy-ion beam irradiation is a powerful physical mutagen that has been used to create numerous mutant materials in plants. These materials are an essential resource for functional genomics research in the post-genome era. The advent of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology has promoted the study of functional genomics and molecular breeding. A wealth of information can be gathered from whole genome re-sequencing; however, understanding the molecular mutation profile at genome wide, as well as identifying causal genes for a given phenotype are big challenging issues for researchers. The huge outputs created by NGS make it difficult to capture key information. It is worthy to explore an effective and efficient data-sieving strategy for mutation scanning at whole genome scale. Re-sequencing data from one laboratory wild type (Columbia) and eleven M3Arabidopsis thaliana lines derived from carbon-ion beam irradiation were used in present study. Both the number and different combinations of samples used for analysis affected the sieving results. The result indicated that using six samples was sufficient to filter out the shared mutation (background interference) sites as well as to identify the true mutation sites in the whole genome. The final number of candidate mutation sites could be further narrowed down by combining traditional rough map-based cloning. Our results demonstrated the feasibility of a parallel sequencing analysis as an efficient tool for the identification of mutations induced by carbon-ion beam irradiation. For the first time, we presented different analysis strategies for handling massive parallel sequencing data sets to detect the mutations induced by carbon-ion beam irradiation in Arabidopsis thaliana with low false-positive rate, as well as to identify the causative nucleotide changes responsible for a mutant phenotype.

Abstract
Heavy-ion irradiation is a powerful mutagen that possesses high linear energy transfer (LET). Several studies have indicated that the value of LET affects DNA lesion formation in several ways, including the efficiency and the density of double-stranded break induction along the particle path. We assumed that the mutation type can be altered by selecting an appropriate LET value. Here, we quantitatively demonstrate differences in the mutation type induced by irradiation with two representative ions, Ar ions (LET: 290 keV μm-1 ) and C ions (LET: 30.0 keV μm-1 ), by whole-genome resequencing of the Arabidopsis mutants produced by these irradiations. Ar ions caused chromosomal rearrangements or large deletions (≥100 bp) more frequently than C ions, with 10.2 and 2.3 per mutant genome under Ar- and C-ion irradiation, respectively. Conversely, C ions induced more single-base substitutions and small indels (<100 bp) than Ar ions, with 28.1 and 56.9 per mutant genome under Ar- and C-ion irradiation, respectively. Moreover, the rearrangements induced by Ar-ion irradiation were more complex than those induced by C-ion irradiation, and tended to accompany single base substitutions or small indels located close by. In conjunction with the detection of causative genes through high-throughput sequencing, selective irradiation by beams with different effects will be a powerful tool for forward genetics as well as studies on chromosomal rearrangements.

Abstract
Ion beams have been used as an effective tool in mutation breeding for the creation of crops with novel characteristics. Recent analyses have revealed that ion beams induce large chromosomal alterations, in addition to small mutations comprising base changes or frameshifts. In an effort to understand the potential capability of ion beams, we analyzed an Arabidopsis mutant possessing an abnormal genetic trait. The Arabidopsis mutant uvh3-2 is hypersensitive to UVB radiation when photoreactivation is unavailable. uvh3-2 plants grow normally and produce seeds by self-pollination. SSLP and CAPS analyses of F2 plants showed abnormal recombination frequency on chromosomes 2 and 3. PCR-based analysis and sequencing revealed that one-third of chromosome 3 was translocated to chromosome 2 in uvh3-2. FISH analysis using a 180 bp centromeric repeat and 45S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) as probes showed that the 45S rDNA signal was positioned away from that of the 180 bp centromeric repeat in uvh3-2, suggesting the insertion of a large chromosome fragment into the chromosome with 45S rDNA clusters. F1 plants derived from a cross between uvh3-2 and wild-type showed reduced fertility. PCR-based analysis of F2 plants suggested that reproductive cells carrying normal chromosome 2 and uvh3-2-derived chromosome 3 are unable to survive and therefore produce zygote. These results showed that ion beams could induce marked genomic alterations, and could possibly lead to the generation of novel plant species and crop strains.

Abstract
Heavy-ion beam irradiation is one of the principal methods used to create mutants in plants. Research on mutagenic effects and molecular mechanisms of radiation is an important subject that is multi-disciplinary. Here, we re-sequenced 11 mutagenesis progeny (M3) Arabidopsis thaliana lines derived from carbon-ion beam (CIB) irradiation, and subsequently focused on substitutions and small insertion-deletion (INDELs). We found that CIB induced more substitutions (320) than INDELs (124). Meanwhile, the single base INDELs were more prevalent than those in large size (≥2 bp). In details, the detected substitutions showed an obvious bias of C > T transitions, by activating the formation of covalent linkages between neighboring pyrimidine residues in the DNA sequence. An A and T bias was observed among the single base INDELs, in which most of these were induced by replication slippage at either the homopolymer or polynucleotide repeat regions. The mutation rate of 200-Gy CIB irradiation was estimated as 3.37 × 10-7 per site. Different from previous researches which mainly focused on the phenotype, chromosome aberration, genetic polymorphism, or sequencing analysis of specific genes only, our study revealed genome-wide molecular profile and rate of mutations induced by CIB irradiation. We hope our data could provide valuable clues for explaining the potential mechanism of plant mutation breeding by CIB irradiation.

Linear Energy Transfer-Dependent Change in Rice Gene Expression Profile after Heavy-Ion Beam Irradiation. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0160061. [PMID: 27462908 PMCID: PMC4962992 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0160061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2016] [Accepted: 07/13/2016] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
A heavy-ion beam has been recognized as an effective mutagen for plant breeding and applied to the many kinds of crops including rice. In contrast with X-ray or γ-ray, the heavy-ion beam is characterized by a high linear energy transfer (LET). LET is an important factor affecting several aspects of the irradiation effect, e.g. cell survival and mutation frequency, making the heavy-ion beam an effective mutagen. To study the mechanisms behind LET-dependent effects, expression profiling was performed after heavy-ion beam irradiation of imbibed rice seeds. Array-based experiments at three time points (0.5, 1, 2 h after the irradiation) revealed that the number of up- or down-regulated genes was highest 2 h after irradiation. Array-based experiments with four different LETs at 2 h after irradiation identified LET-independent regulated genes that were up/down-regulated regardless of the value of LET; LET–dependent regulated genes, whose expression level increased with the rise of LET value, were also identified. Gene ontology (GO) analysis of LET-independent up-regulated genes showed that some GO terms were commonly enriched, both 2 hours and 3 weeks after irradiation. GO terms enriched in LET-dependent regulated genes implied that some factor regulates genes that have kinase activity or DNA-binding activity in cooperation with the ATM gene. Of the LET-dependent up-regulated genes, OsPARP3 and OsPCNA were identified, which are involved in DNA repair pathways. This indicates that the Ku-independent alternative non-homologous end-joining pathway may contribute to repairing complex DNA legions induced by high-LET irradiation. These findings may clarify various LET-dependent responses in rice.

Abstract
Heavy-ion beams are widely used for mutation breeding and molecular biology. Although the mutagenic effects of heavy-ion beam irradiation have been characterized by sequence analysis of some restricted chromosomal regions or loci, there have been no evaluations at the whole-genome level or of the detailed genomic rearrangements in the mutant genomes. In this study, using array comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) and resequencing, we comprehensively characterized the mutations in Arabidopsis thaliana genomes irradiated with Ar or Fe ions. We subsequently used this information to investigate the mutagenic effects of the heavy-ion beams. Array-CGH demonstrated that the average number of deleted areas per genome were 1.9 and 3.7 following Ar-ion and Fe-ion irradiation, respectively, with deletion sizes ranging from 149 to 602,180 bp; 81% of the deletions were accompanied by genomic rearrangements. To provide a further detailed analysis, the genomes of the mutants induced by Ar-ion beam irradiation were resequenced, and total mutations, including base substitutions, duplications, in/dels, inversions, and translocations, were detected using three algorithms. All three resequenced mutants had genomic rearrangements. Of the 22 DNA fragments that contributed to the rearrangements, 19 fragments were responsible for the intrachromosomal rearrangements, and multiple rearrangements were formed in the localized regions of the chromosomes. The interchromosomal rearrangements were detected in the multiply rearranged regions. These results indicate that the heavy-ion beams led to clustered DNA damage in the chromosome, and that they have great potential to induce complicated intrachromosomal rearrangements. Heavy-ion beams will prove useful as unique mutagens for plant breeding and the establishment of mutant lines.

Abstract
To assess the mutational effects of radiation on vigorously proliferating plant tissue, the mutation spectrum was analyzed with Arabidopsis seedlings using the plasmid-rescue method. Transgenic plants containing the Escherichia coli rpsL gene were irradiated with γ-rays and carbon ion beams (320-MeV (12)C(6+)), and mutations in the rpsL gene were analyzed. Mutant frequency increased significantly following irradiation by γ-rays, but not by 320-MeV (12)C(6+). Mutation spectra showed that both radiations increased the frequency of frameshifts and other mutations, including deletions and insertions, but only γ-rays increased the frequency of total base substitutions. These results suggest that the type of DNA lesions which cause base substitutions were less often induced by 320-MeV (12)C(6+) than by γ-rays in Arabidopsis seedlings. Furthermore, γ-rays never increased the frequencies of G:C to T:A or A:T to C:G transversions, which are caused by oxidized guanine; 320-MeV (12)C(6+), however, produced a slight increase in both transversions. Instead, γ-rays produced a significant increase in the frequency of G:C to A:T transitions. These results suggest that 8-oxoguanine has little effect on mutagenesis in Arabidopsis cells.

Abstract
An analysis of the salinity tolerance of 354 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions showed that some accessions were more tolerant to salt shock than the reference accession, Col-0, when transferred from 0 to 225 mM NaCl. In addition, several accessions, including Zu-0, showed marked acquired salt tolerance after exposure to moderate salt stress. It is likely therefore that Arabidopsis plants have at least two types of tolerance, salt shock tolerance and acquired salt tolerance. To evaluate a role of well-known salt shock tolerant gene SOS1 in acquired salt tolerance, we isolated a sos1 mutant from ion-beam-mutagenized Zu-0 seedlings. The mutant showed severe growth inhibition under salt shock stress owing to a single base deletion in the SOS1 gene and was even more salt sensitive than Col-0. Nevertheless, it was able to survive after acclimation on 100 mM NaCl for 7 d followed by 750 mM sorbitol for 20 d, whereas Col-0 became chlorotic under the same conditions. We propose that genes for salt acclimation ability are different from genes for salt shock tolerance and play an important role in the acquisition of salt or osmotic tolerance.

Abstract
Crude oil is an extremely complex mixture of hydrocarbons; also contaminate environmental, leading to carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic. Petroleum hydrocarbons degradation Dietzia strain DMYR9 was isolated from oilfield. Response surface methodology was applied for statistical designing of process parameters for dry weight of biomass production in the process of degradation. The optimization process parameters were successfully employed for degradation crude oil and confirmed through confirmatory experiments. On 28th day, analysis was done by GC-MS, These data show that the crude oil samples of n-Hexadecane, Octadecane, n-Nonadecanec, n-Pentacosane, n-Hexacosane, n-Heneicosane, n-Docosane, n-Tetracosane, n-Octacosane and Tetraethyl removal efficiency could reach up to 0%. RSM optimization and use of effective (12)C(6+)-ion irradiation methods can considerably enhance ability to degradation of microbial. Hence, bioresource Dietzia strain DMYR9, high ability to degradation, can be further used for subsequent repair hydrocarbons polluted of environment.

Abstract
Linear energy transfer (LET) is an important parameter to be considered in heavy-ion mutagenesis. However, in plants, no quantitative data are available on the molecular nature of the mutations induced with high-LET radiation above 101-124keVμm(-1). In this study, we irradiated dry seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana with Ar and C ions with an LET of 290keVμm(-1). We analyzed the DNA alterations caused by the higher-LET radiation. Mutants were identified from the M(2) pools. In total, 14 and 13 mutated genes, including bin2, egy1, gl1, gl2, hy1, hy3-5, ttg1, and var2, were identified in the plants derived from Ar- and C-ions irradiation, respectively. In the mutants from both irradiations, deletion was the most frequent type of mutation; 13 of the 14 mutated genes from the Ar ion-irradiated plants and 11 of the 13 mutated genes from the C ion-irradiated plants harbored deletions. Analysis of junction regions generated by the 2 types of irradiation suggested that alternative non-homologous end-joining was the predominant pathway of repair of break points. Among the deletions, the proportion of large deletions (>100bp) was about 54% for Ar-ion irradiation and about 64% for C-ion irradiation. Both current results and previously reported data revealed that the proportions of the large deletions induced by 290-keVμm(-1) radiations were higher than those of the large deletions induced by lower-LET radiations (6% for 22.5-30.0keVμm(-1) and 27% for 101-124keVμm(-1)). Therefore, the 290keVμm(-1) heavy-ion beams can effectively induce large deletions and will prove useful as novel mutagens for plant breeding and analysis of gene functions, particularly tandemly arrayed genes.
