[PMID: 38123818 DOI: 10.1007/s00709-023-01915-w] [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: 09/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Cryptangieae has recently been revised based on morphology and molecular phylogeny, but cytogenetic data is still scarce. We conducted this study with the aim of investigating the occurrence of holocentric chromosomes and pseudomonads, as well as understanding the mode of chromosomal evolution in the tribe. We performed analyses of meiotic behavior, chromosome counts, and reconstruction of the ancestral state for the haploid number. We present novel cytogenetic data for eight potentially holocentric species: Cryptangium verticillatum, Krenakia junciforme, K. minarum, Lagenocarpus bracteosus, L. griseus, L. inversus, L. rigidus, and L. tenuifolius. Meiotic abnormalities were observed, with parallel spindles being particularly noteworthy. Intra-specific variations in chromosome number were not found, which may indicate an efficient genetic control for the elimination of abnormal nuclei. The inferred ancestral haploid number was n = 16, with dysploidy being the main evolutionary mechanism. At least five chromosomal fissions occurred in Krenakia (n = 21), followed by a further ascending dysploidy event in Lagenocarpus (n = 17). As proposed for Cyperaceae, it is possible that cladogenesis events in Cryptangieae were marked by numerical and structural chromosomal changes.

Abstract
Tandem repeats are one of the most conserved features in the eukaryote genomes. Dendrobium is the third largest genus in family Orchidaceae compromising over 1,200 species. However, the organization of repetitive sequences in Dendrobium species remains unclear. In this study, we performed the identification and characterization of the tandem repeats in D. officinale genome using graph-based clustering and Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Six major clusters including five satellite DNAs (DofSat1-5) and one 5S rDNA repeat (Dof5S) were identified as tandem repeats. The tandem organization of DofSat5 was verified by PCR amplification and southern blotting. The chromosomal locations of the repetitive DNAs in D. officinale were investigated by FISH using the tandem repeats and oligos probes. The results showed that each of the DofSat5, 5S and 45S rDNA had one pair of strong signals on D. officinale chromosomes. The distribution of repetitive DNAs along chromosomes was also investigated based on genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) among four Dendrobium species. The results suggested complex chromosomal fusion/segmentation and rearrangements during the evolution of Dendrobium species. In conclusion, the present study provides new landmarks for unequival differentiation of the Dendrobium chromosomes and facilitate the understanding the chromosome evolution in Dendrobium speceis.

Chromosome painting reveals inter-chromosomal rearrangements and evolution of subgenome D of wheat. THE PLANT JOURNAL : FOR CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2022; 112:55-67.

Abstract
Aegilops species represent the most important gene pool for breeding bread wheat (Triticum aestivum). Thus, understanding the genome evolution, including chromosomal structural rearrangements and syntenic relationships among Aegilops species or between Aegilops and wheat, is important for both basic genome research and practical breeding applications. In the present study, we attempted to develop subgenome D-specific fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes by selecting D-specific oligonucleotides based on the reference genome of Chinese Spring. The oligo-based chromosome painting probes consisted of approximately 26 000 oligos per chromosome and their specificity was confirmed in both diploid and polyploid species containing the D subgenome. Two previously reported translocations involving two D chromosomes have been confirmed in wheat varieties and their derived lines. We demonstrate that the oligo painting probes can be used not only to identify the translocations involving D subgenome chromosomes, but also to determine the precise positions of chromosomal breakpoints. Chromosome painting of 56 accessions of Ae. tauschii from different origins led us to identify two novel translocations: a reciprocal 3D-7D translocation in two accessions and a complex 4D-5D-7D translocation in one accession. Painting probes were also used to analyze chromosomes from more diverse Aegilops species. These probes produced FISH signals in four different genomes. Chromosome rearrangements were identified in Aegilops umbellulata, Aegilops markgrafii, and Aegilops uniaristata, thus providing syntenic information that will be valuable for the application of these wild species in wheat breeding.

The Divergence of Chromosome Structures and 45S Ribosomal DNA Organization in Cucumis debilis Inferred by Comparative Molecular Cytogenetic Mapping. PLANTS 2022; 11:plants11151960. [PMID: 35956438 PMCID: PMC9370355 DOI: 10.3390/plants11151960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 07/09/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Cucumis debilis W.J.de Wilde & Duyfjes is an annual and monoecious plant. This species is endemic to Southeast Asia, particularly Vietnam. However, C. debilis is rarely studied, and no detailed information is available regarding its basic chromosome number, 45S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) status, and divergence among other Cucumis species. In this study, we characterized the morphological characters and determined and investigated the basic chromosome number and chromosomal distribution of 45S rDNA of C. debilis using the fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technique. A maximum likelihood tree was constructed by combining the chloroplast and internal transcribed spacer of 45S rDNAs to infer its relationship within Cucumis. C. debilis had an oval fruit shape, green fruit peel, and protrusion-like white spots during the immature fruit stage. FISH analysis using 45S rDNA probe showed three pairs of 45S rDNA loci located at the terminal region in C. debilis, similar to C. hystrix. Meanwhile, two, two, and five pairs of 45S rDNA loci were observed for C. melo, C. metuliferus, and C. sativus, respectively. One melon (P90) and cucumber accessions exhibited different chromosomal localizations compared with other members of Cucumis. The majority of Cucumis species showed the terminal location of 45S rDNA, but melon P90 and cucumber exhibited terminal–interstitial and all interstitial orientations of 45S rDNA loci. Based on molecular cytogenetics and phylogenetic evidence, C. debilis is more closely related to cucumber than melon. Therefore, C. debilis may serve as a potential parental accession for genetic improvement of cucumber through interspecific hybridization.

Abstract
The development of genetic and genomic resources for biological studies in cucumber has experienced an unprecedented boom in recent years. To investigate the function of putative meiotic genes and germplasm in breeding programs, an accurate cytogenetic characterization is required. Cytological methods and reference to investigate meiosis in cucumber are limited at present. Here we provide a set of cytological techniques that have been adapted for the study of meiosis in cucumber. The meiotic stages can be identified with high precision using hierarchical criteria from developing buds, undisturbed meiocytes, and freshly stained chromosomes. A meiotic cytological atlas of all stages is presented as a reference for identifying particular stages and for comparison of meiosis between normal and mutant plants. We performed a comparative analysis of the distribution of cytoplasmic organelles between cucumber and Arabidopsis, and we described a highly nonsynchronous condensation of chromosome parts during diplotene. A simplified fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) protocol, using robustly spread chromosomes, were developed. In addition, we designed a single oligonucleotide probe for 5S rDNA to use in karyotyping and monitoring of homologous chromosome pairing, which will make FISH analysis of 5S rDNA easier and more economical.

Rapid and visual monitoring of alien sequences using crop wild relatives specific oligo-painting: The case of cucumber chromosome engineering. PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2022; 319:111199.

Abstract
Wild species related to domesticated crops (crop wild relatives, or CWRs) represent a high level of genetic diversity that provides a practical gene pool for crop pre-breeding employed to address climate change and food demand challenges globally. Nevertheless, rapid identifying and visual tracking of alien chromosomes and sequences derived from CWRs have been a technical challenge for crop chromosome engineering. Here, a species-specific oligonucleotide (oligo) pool was developed by using the reference genome of Cucumis hystrix (HH, 2n = 2x = 24), a wild species carrying many favorable traits and interspecific compatibility with cultivated cucumber (C. sativus, CC, 2n = 2x = 14). These synthetic double-stranded oligo probes were applied to validate the assembly and characterize the chromosome architectures of C. hystrix, as well as to rapidly identify C. hystrix-chromosomes in diverse C. sativus-hystrix chromosome-engineered germplasms, including interspecific hybrid F1 (HC), synthetic allopolyploids (HHCC, CHC, and HCH) and alien additional lines (CC-H). Moreover, a ∼2Mb of C. hystrix-specific sequences, introduced into cultivated cucumber, were visualized by CWR-specific oligo-painting. These results demonstrate that the CWR-specific oligo-painting technique holds broad applicability for chromosome engineering of numerous crops, as it allows rapid identification of alien chromosomes, reliable detection of homoeologous recombination, and visual tracking of the introgression process. It is promising to achieve directed and high-precision crop pre-breeding combined with other breeding techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9-mediated chromosome engineering.

Abstract
During meiosis, homologous chromosomes (homologs) pair and undergo genetic recombination via assembly and disassembly of the synaptonemal complex. Meiotic recombination is initiated by excess formation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), among which a subset are repaired by reciprocal genetic exchange, called crossovers (COs). COs generate genetic variations across generations, profoundly affecting genetic diversity and breeding. At least one CO between homologs is essential for the first meiotic chromosome segregation, but generally only one and fewer than three inter-homolog COs occur in plants. CO frequency and distribution are biased along chromosomes, suppressed in centromeres, and controlled by pro-CO, anti-CO, and epigenetic factors. Accurate and high-throughput detection of COs is important for our understanding of CO formation and chromosome behavior. Here, we review advanced approaches that enable precise measurement of the location, frequency, and genomic landscapes of COs in plants, with a focus on Arabidopsis thaliana.

Abstract
Interploidy cross commonly results in complex chromosome number and structural variations. In our previous study, a progeny with segregated ploidy levels was produced by an interploidy cross between diploid female parent Populus tomentosa × Populus bolleana clone TB03 and triploid male parent Populus alba × Populus berolinensis 'Yinzhong'. However, the chromosome compositions of aneuploid genotypes in the progeny were still unclear. In the present study, a microsatellite DNA allele counting-peak ratios (MAC-PR) method was employed to analyze allelic configurations of each genotype to clarify their chromosome compositions, while 45S rDNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis was used to reveal the mechanism of chromosome number variation. Based on the MAC-PR analysis of 47 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers distributed across all 19 chromosomes of Populus, both chromosomal number and structural variations were detected for the progeny. In the progeny, 26 hypo-triploids, 1 hyper-triploid, 16 hypo-tetraploids, 10 tetraploids, and 5 hyper-tetraploids were found. A total of 13 putative structural variation events (duplications and/or deletions) were detected in 12 genotypes, involved in chromosomes 3, 6, 7, 14, 15, 16, and 18. The 46.2% (six events) structural variation events occurred on chromosome 6, suggesting that there probably is a chromosome breakpoint near the SSR loci of chromosome 6. Based on calculation of the allelic information, the transmission of paternal heterozygosity in the hypo-triploids, hyper-triploid, hypo-tetraploids, tetraploids, and hyper-tetraploids were 0.748, 0.887, 0.830, 0.833, and 0.836, respectively, indicating that the viable pollen gains of the male parent 'Yinzhong' were able to transmit high heterozygosity to progeny. Furthermore, 45S rDNA-FISH analysis showed that specific-chromosome segregation feature during meiosis and chromosome appointment in normal and fused daughter nuclei of telophase II of 'Yinzhong,' which explained that the formation of aneuploids and tetraploids in the progeny could be attributed to imbalanced meiotic chromosomal segregation and division restitution of 'Yinzhong,' The data of chromosomal composition and structural variation of each aneuploid in the full-sib progeny of TB03 × 'Yinzhong' lays a foundation for analyzing mechanisms of trait variation relying on chromosome or gene dosages in Populus.

Abstract
An Oligo-FISH barcode system was developed for two model legumes, allowing the identification of all cowpea and common bean chromosomes in a single FISH experiment, and revealing new chromosome rearrangements. The FISH barcode system emerges as an effective tool to understand the chromosome evolution of economically important legumes and their related species. Current status on plant cytogenetic and cytogenomic research has allowed the selection and design of oligo-specific probes to individually identify each chromosome of the karyotype in a target species. Here, we developed the first chromosome identification system for legumes based on oligo-FISH barcode probes. We selected conserved genomic regions between Vigna unguiculata (Vu, cowpea) and Phaseolus vulgaris (Pv, common bean) (diverged ~ 9.7-15 Mya), using cowpea as a reference, to produce a unique barcode pattern for each species. We combined our oligo-FISH barcode pattern with a set of previously developed FISH probes based on BACs and ribosomal DNA sequences. In addition, we integrated our FISH maps with genome sequence data. Based on this integrated analysis, we confirmed two translocation events (involving chromosomes 1, 5, and 8; and chromosomes 2 and 3) between both species. The application of the oligo-based probes allowed us to demonstrate the participation of chromosome 5 in the translocation complex for the first time. Additionally, we detailed a pericentric inversion on chromosome 4 and identified a new paracentric inversion on chromosome 10. We also detected centromere repositioning associated with chromosomes 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9, confirming previous results for chromosomes 2 and 3. This first barcode system for legumes can be applied for karyotyping other Phaseolinae species, especially non-model, orphan crop species lacking genomic assemblies and cytogenetic maps, expanding our understanding of the chromosome evolution and genome organization of this economically important legume group.

Here, we established the first cytogenetic map of V. angularis (Va, subgenus Ceratotropis) and compared this new map with those of V. unguiculata (Vu, subgenus Vigna) and P. vulgaris (Pv) by BAC-FISH and oligopainting approaches. We mapped 19 Vu BACs and 35S rDNA probes to the 11 chromosome pairs of Va, Vu, and Pv. Vigna angularis shared a high degree of macrosynteny with Vu and Pv, with five conserved syntenic chromosomes. Additionally, we developed two oligo probes (Pv2 and Pv3) used to paint Vigna orthologous chromosomes. We confirmed two reciprocal translocations (chromosomes 2 and 3 and 1 and 8) that have occurred after the Vigna and Phaseolus divergence (~9.7 Mya). Besides, two inversions (2 and 4) and one translocation (1 and 5) have occurred after Vigna and Ceratotropis subgenera separation (~3.6 Mya). We also observed distinct oligopainting patterns for chromosomes 2 and 3 of Vigna species. Both Vigna species shared similar major rearrangements compared to Pv: one translocation (2 and 3) and one inversion (chromosome 3). The sequence synteny identified additional inversions and/or intrachromosomal translocations involving pericentromeric regions of both orthologous chromosomes. We propose chromosomes 2 and 3 as hotspots for chromosomal rearrangements and de novo centromere formation within and between Vigna and Phaseolus. Our BAC- and oligo-FISH mapping contributed to physically trace the chromosome evolution of Vigna and Phaseolus and its application in further studies of both genera.

Chromosome-scale genome assembly of Cucumis hystrix-a wild species interspecifically cross-compatible with cultivated cucumber. HORTICULTURE RESEARCH 2021; 8:40. [PMID: 33642577 PMCID: PMC7917098 DOI: 10.1038/s41438-021-00475-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Revised: 12/30/2020] [Accepted: 01/07/2021] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
Cucumis hystrix Chakr. (2n = 2x = 24) is a wild species that can hybridize with cultivated cucumber (C. sativus L., 2n = 2x = 14), a globally important vegetable crop. However, cucumber breeding is hindered by its narrow genetic base. Therefore, introgression from C. hystrix has been anticipated to bring a breakthrough in cucumber improvement. Here, we report the chromosome-scale assembly of C. hystrix genome (289 Mb). Scaffold N50 reached 14.1 Mb. Over 90% of the sequences were anchored onto 12 chromosomes. A total of 23,864 genes were annotated using a hybrid method. Further, we conducted a comprehensive comparative genomic analysis of cucumber, C. hystrix, and melon (C. melo L., 2n = 2x = 24). Whole-genome comparisons revealed that C. hystrix is phylogenetically closer to cucumber than to melon, providing a molecular basis for the success of its hybridization with cucumber. Moreover, expanded gene families of C. hystrix were significantly enriched in "defense response," and C. hystrix harbored 104 nucleotide-binding site-encoding disease resistance gene analogs. Furthermore, 121 genes were positively selected, and 12 (9.9%) of these were involved in responses to biotic stimuli, which might explain the high disease resistance of C. hystrix. The alignment of whole C. hystrix genome with cucumber genome and self-alignment revealed 45,417 chromosome-specific sequences evenly distributed on C. hystrix chromosomes. Finally, we developed four cucumber-C. hystrix alien addition lines and identified the exact introgressed chromosome using molecular and cytological methods. The assembled C. hystrix genome can serve as a valuable resource for studies on Cucumis evolution and interspecific introgression breeding of cucumber.

Abstract
Transferring desired genes from wild species to cultivars through alien addition lines (AALs) has been shown to be an effective method for genetic improvement. Cucumis hystrix Chakr. (HH, 2n = 24) is a wild species of Cucumis that possesses many resistant genes. A synthetic allotetraploid species, C. hytivus (HHCC, 2n = 38), was obtained from the cross between cultivated cucumber, C. sativus (CC, 2n = 14), and C. hystrix followed by chromosome doubling. Cucumis sativus - C. hystrix AALs were developed by continuous backcrossing to the cultivated cucumbers. In this study, 10 different types of AALs (CC-H01, CC-H06, CC-H08, CC-H10, CC-H12, CC-H06+H09, CC-H06+H10, CC-H06+H12, CC-H08+H10, CC-H01+H06+H10) were identified based on the analysis of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and molecular markers specific to C. hystrix chromosomes. And the behavior of the alien chromosomes in three AALs (CC-H01, CC-H06+H10, CC-H01+H06+H10) at meiosis was investigated. The results showed that alien chromosomes paired with C. sativus chromosome in few pollen mother cells (PMCs). Further, disomic alien addition lines (DAALs) carrying a pair of C. hystrix chromosome H10 were screened from the selfed progenies of CC-H10. Chromosome pairing between genomes provides cytological evidence for the possible introgression of alien chromosome segments. The development of AALs could serve as a key step for exploiting and utilizing valuable genes from C. hystrix.
