Comprehensive Transcriptomic Analysis for Developing Seeds of a Synthetic Brassica Hexaploid
Polyploidization is a universal phenomenon in plants and plays a crucial role in evolution. In this study, the transcriptomes of developing seeds of a synthetic Brassica hexaploid and its parents (B. rapa and B. carinata) were analyzed to find the gene expression changes in hexaploid seeds. There we...

description | Polyploidization is a universal phenomenon in plants and plays a crucial role in evolution. In this study, the transcriptomes of developing seeds of a synthetic Brassica hexaploid and its parents (B. rapa and B. carinata) were analyzed to find the gene expression changes in hexaploid seeds. There were 3166 and 3893 DEGs between the Brassica hexaploid and its parents at the full-size stage and mature stage, respectively, most of which were upregulated in hexaploid seeds compared to its parents. At the mature stage, the hexaploid seeds showed a greater difference from its parents. These DEGs had a wide range of functions, which may account for the physiological and morphological differences between the Brassica hexaploid and its parents. The KEGG pathway analysis revealed that hexaploid seeds had higher levels of expression of genes involved in metabolic pathways, RNA transport and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, and the expression levels in the photosynthesis-related pathways were significantly higher than those in B. rapa. Transgressive expression was the main non-additive expression pattern of the Brassica hexaploid. The gene expression difference between the Brassica hexaploid and its paternal parent was more significant than that with its maternal parent, which may be due in part to the cytoplasmic and maternal effects. Moreover, transcription factor genes, such as G2-like, MYB and mTERF, were highly expressed in hexaploid seeds, possibly promoting their resistance to stress. Our results may provide valuable insights into the adaptation mechanisms of polyploid plants. |
