Roche J, Guérin C, Dupuits C, Elmodafar C, Goupil P, Mouzeyar S. In silico analysis of the Seven IN Absentia (SINA) genes in bread wheat sheds light on their structure in plants. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0295021. [PMID: 38127955 PMCID: PMC10734943 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0295021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Seven IN Absentia (SINA) is a small family of genes coding for ubiquitin-ligases that play major roles in regulating various plant growth and developmental processes, as well as in plant response to diverse biotic and abiotic stresses. Here, we studied the SINA genes family in bread wheat Triticum aestivum which is a culture of major importance for food security worldwide. One hundred and forty-one SINA family genes have been identified in bread wheat and showed that their number is very high compared to other plant species such as A. thaliana or rice. The expansion of this family seems to have been more important in monocots than in eudicots. In bread wheat, the chromosome 3 distal region is the site of a massive amplification of the SINA family, since we found that 83 of the 141 SINA genes are located on this chromosome in the Chinese Spring variety. This amplification probably occurred as a result of local duplications, followed by sequences divergence. The study was then extended to 4856 SINA proteins from 97 plant species. Phylogenetic and structural analyses identified a group of putative ancestral SINA proteins in plants containing a 58 aminoacid specific signature. Based on sequence homology and the research of that "Ancestral SINA motif" of 58 amino acids, a methodological process has been proposed and lead to the identification of functional SINA genes in a large family such as the Triticae that might be used for other species. Finally, tis paper gives a comprehensive overview of wheat gene family organization and functionalization taken the SINA genes as an example.

Genome-wide characterization of SINA E3 ubiquitin ligase family members and their expression profiles in response to various abiotic stresses and hormones in kiwifruit. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2023; 201:107891.

Abstract
SINA (Seven in absentia) proteins in the subtype of E3 ubiquitin ligase family have important functions in regulating the growth and development as well as in response to abiotic and biotic stresses in plants. However, the characteristics and possible functions of SINA family proteins in kiwifruit are not studied. In this research, a total number of 11 AcSINA genes in the kiwifruit genome were identified. Chromosome location and multiple sequence alignment analyses indicated that they were unevenly distributed on 10 chromosomes and all contained the typical N-terminal RING domain and C-terminal SINA domain. Phylogenetic, gene structure and collinear relationship analyses revealed that they were highly conserved with the same gene structure, and have gone through segmental duplication events. Expression pattern analyses demonstrated that all AcSINAs were ubiquitously expressed in roots, stems and leaves, and were responsive to different abiotic and plant hormone treatments with overlapped but distinct expression patterns. Further yeast two-hybrid and Arabidopsis transformation analyses demonstrated most AcSINAs interacted with itself or other AcSINA members to form homo- or heterodimers, and ectopic expression of AcSINA2 in Arabidopsis led to hypersensitive growth phenotype of transgenic seedlings to ABA treatment. Our results reveal that AcSINAs take part in the response to various abiotic stresses and hormones, and provide important information for the functional elucidation of AcSINAs in vine fruit plants.

Abstract
Structural variations are common in plant genomes, affecting meiotic recombination and distorted segregation in wheat. And presence/absence variations can significantly affect drought tolerance in wheat. Drought is a major abiotic stress limiting wheat production. Common wheat has a complex genome with three sub-genomes, which host large numbers of structural variations (SVs). SVs play critical roles in understanding the genetic contributions of plant domestication and phenotypic plasticity, but little is known about their genomic characteristics and their effects on drought tolerance. In the present study, high-resolution karyotypes of 180 doubled haploids (DHs) were developed. Signal polymorphisms between the parents involved with 8 presence-absence variations (PAVs) of tandem repeats (TR) distributed on the 7 (2A, 4A, 5A, 7A, 3B, 7B, and 2D) of 21 chromosomes. Among them, PAV on chromosome 2D showed distorted segregation, others transmit normal conforming to a 1:1 segregation ration in the population; and a PAVs recombination occurred on chromosome 2A. Association analysis of PAV and phenotypic traits under different water regimes, we found PAVs on chromosomes 4A, 5A, and 7B showed negative effect on grain length (GL) and grain width (GW); PAV.7A had opposite effect on grain thickness (GT) and spike length (SL), with the effect on traits differing under different water regimes. PAVs on linkage group 2A, 4A, 7A, 2D, and 7B associated with the drought tolerance coefficients (DTCs), and significant negative effect on drought resistance values (D values) were detected in PAV.7B. Additionally, quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with phenotypic traits using the 90 K SNP array showed QTL for DTCs and grain-related traits in chromosomes 4A, and 5A, 3B were co-localized in differential regions of PAVs. These PAVs can cause the differentiation of the target region of SNP and could be used for genetic improvement of agronomic traits under drought stress via marker-assisted selection (MAS) breeding.

Constitutive expression of AtSINA2 from Arabidopsis improves grain yield, seed oil and drought tolerance in transgenic soybean. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2023; 196:444-453.

Abstract
The SEVEN IN Absentia (SINA), a typical member of the RING E3 ligase family, plays a crucial role in plant growth, development and response to abiotic stress. However, its biological functions in oil crops are still unknown. Previously, we reported that overexpression of AtSINA2 in Arabidopsis positively regulated the drought tolerance of transgenic plants. In this work, we demonstrate that ectopic expression of AtSINA2 in soybean improved the shoot growth, grain yield, drought tolerance and seed oil content in transgenic plants. Compared to wild type, transgenic soybean produced greater shoot biomass and grain yield, and showed improved seed oil and drought tolerance. Physiological analyses exhibited that the increased drought tolerance of transgenic plants was accompanied with a higher chlorophyll content, and a lower malondialdehyde accumulation and water loss during drought stress. Further transcriptomic analyses revealed that the expressions of genes related to plant growth, flowering and stress response were up- or down-regulated in transgenic soybean under both normal and drought stress conditions. Our findings imply that AtSINA2 improved both agricultural production and drought tolerance, and it can be used as a candidate gene for the genetic engineering of new soybean cultivars with improved grain yield and drought resistance.

Genome-wide association study reveals structural chromosome variations with phenotypic effects in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). THE PLANT JOURNAL : FOR CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2022; 112:1447-1461. [PMID: 36345647 DOI: 10.1111/tpj.16023] [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: 04/01/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Structural chromosome variations (SCVs) are large-scale genomic variations that can be detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). SCVs have played important roles in the genome evolution of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), but little is known about their genetic effects. In this study, a total of 543 wheat accessions from the Chinese wheat mini-core collection and the Shanxi Province wheat collection were used for chromosome analysis using oligonucleotide probe multiplex FISH. A total of 139 SCVs including translocations, pericentric inversions, presence/absence variations (PAVs), and copy number variations (CNVs) in heterochromatin were identified at 230 loci. The distribution frequency of SCVs varied between ecological regions and between landraces and modern cultivars. Structural analysis using SCVs as markers clearly divided the landraces and modern cultivars into different groups. There are very clear instances illustrating alien introgression and wide application of foreign germplasms improved the chromosome diversity of Chinese modern wheat cultivars. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified 29 SCVs associated with 12 phenotypic traits, and five (RT4AS•4AL-1DS/1DL•1DS-4AL, Mg2A-3, Mr3B-10, Mr7B-13, and Mr4A-7) of them were further validated using a doubled haploid population and advanced sib-lines, implying the potential value of these SCVs. Importantly, the number of favored SCVs that were associated with agronomic trait improvement was significantly higher in modern cultivars compared to landraces, indicating positive selection in wheat breeding. This study demonstrates the significant effects of SCVs during wheat breeding and provides an efficient method of mining favored SCVs in wheat and other crops.

Abstract
Heat stress substantially reduces the yield potential of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), one of the most widely cultivated staple crops, and greatly threatens global food security in the context of global warming. However, few studies have explored the heat stress tolerance (HST)-related genetic resources in wheat. Here, we identified and fine-mapped a wheat HST locus, TaHST2, which is indispensable for HST in both the vegetative and reproductive stages of the wheat life cycle. The studied pair of near isogenic lines (NILs) exhibited diverse morphologies under heat stress, based on which we mapped TaHST2 to a 485 kb interval on chromosome arm 4DS. Under heat stress, TaHST2 confers a superior conversion rate from soluble sugars to starch in wheat grains, resulting in faster grain filling and a higher yield potential. A further exploration of genetic resources indicated that TaHST2 underwent strong artificial selection during wheat domestication, suggesting it is an essential locus for basal HST in wheat. Our findings provide deeper insights into the genetic basis of wheat HST and might be useful for global efforts to breed heat-stress-tolerant cultivars.

Abstract
The global demand for oilseeds is increasing along with the human population. The family of Brassicaceae crops are no exception, typically harvested as a valuable source of oil, rich in beneficial molecules important for human health. The global capacity for improving Brassica yield has steadily risen over the last 50 years, with the major crop Brassica napus (rapeseed, canola) production increasing to ~72 Gt in 2020. In contrast, the production of Brassica mustard crops has fluctuated, rarely improving in farming efficiency. The drastic increase in global yield of B. napus is largely due to the demand for a stable source of cooking oil. Furthermore, with the adoption of highly efficient farming techniques, yield enhancement programs, breeding programs, the integration of high-throughput phenotyping technology and establishing the underlying genetics, B. napus yields have increased by >450 fold since 1978. Yield stability has been improved with new management strategies targeting diseases and pests, as well as by understanding the complex interaction of environment, phenotype and genotype. This review assesses the global yield and yield stability of agriculturally important oilseed Brassica species and discusses how contemporary farming and genetic techniques have driven improvements.

It is paramount to develop heat tolerant wheat cultivars able to sustain under high and fluctuating temperature conditions. An experiment was conducted to characterize 194 historical wheat cultivars of Pakistan under high temperature at seedling stage to identify loci associated with heat tolerance using genome-wide association studies (GWAS). A quantitative trait locus, TaHST1, on chr4A was also characterized to identify the haplotypes at this locus associated with heat tolerance in wheat from Pakistan. Initially, the diversity panel was planted under control conditions (25°C/20°C day and night temperature) in a glass house. At three leaf stage, plants were subjected to heat stress (HS) by increasing temperature (40°C/35°C day and night), while one treatment was kept at control condition. After 7 days of HS, data were collected for seedling morphology. Heat stress reduced these traits by 25% (root weight) to 40% (shoot weight), and shoot biomass was largely affected by heat stress. A GWAS model, fixed and random model circulating probability unification (FarmCPU), identified 43 quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) on all chromosomes, except chr7B, were associated under both HS and control conditions. Thirteen QTNs were identified in control, while 30 QTNs were identified in HS condition. In total, 24 haplotypes were identified at TaHST1 locus, and most of the heat tolerant genotypes were assigned to Hap-20 and Hap-21. Eleven QTNs were identified within 0.3-3.1 Mb proximity of heat shock protein (HSP). Conclusively, this study provided a detailed genetic framework of heat tolerance in wheat at the seedling stage and identify potential genetic regions associated with heat tolerance which can be used for marker assisted selection (MAS) in breeding for heat stress tolerance.

Abstract
Ubiquitination is a post-translational regulatory mechanism that controls a variety of biological processes in plants. The E3 ligases confer specificity by recognizing target proteins for ubiquitination. Here, we identified SEVEN IN ABSENTIA (SINA) ubiquitin ligases, which belong to the RING-type E3 ligase family, in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). Twenty-four GhSINAs were characterized, and the expression levels of GhSINA7, GhSINA8, and GhSINA9 were upregulated at 24 h after inoculation with Verticillium dahliae. In vitro ubiquitination assays indicated that the three GhSINAs possessed E3 ubiquitin ligase activities. Transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves showed that they localized to the nucleus. And yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) screening revealed that they could interact with each other. The ectopic overexpression of GhSINA7, GhSINA8, and GhSINA9 independently in Arabidopsis thaliana resulted in increased tolerance to V. dahliae, while individual knockdowns of GhSINA7, GhSINA8, and GhSINA9 compromised cotton resistance to the pathogen. Thus, GhSINA7, GhSINA8, and GhSINA9 act as positive regulators of defense responses against V. dahliae in cotton plants.
