As new genotyping platforms are developed, data from different genotyping platforms must be combined. However, the potential use of combined data for GS and GWAS has not yet been clarified. In this study, the accuracy of genomic prediction (GP) and the detection power of GWAS increased for most fruit quality traits of apples when using combined data from different genotyping systems, Illumina Infinium single-nucleotide polymorphism array and genotyping by random amplicon sequencing-direct (GRAS-Di) systems. In addition, the GP model, which considered the inbreeding effect, further improved the accuracy of the seven fruit traits. Runs of homozygosity (ROH) islands overlapped with the significantly associated regions detected by the GWAS for several fruit traits. Breeders may have exploited these regions to select promising apples by breeders, increasing homozygosity. These results suggest that combining genotypic data from different genotyping platforms benefits the GS and GWAS of fruit quality traits in apples. Information on inbreeding could be beneficial for improving the accuracy of GS for fruit traits of apples; however, further analysis is required to elucidate the relationship between the fruit traits and inbreeding depression (e.g. decreased vigor).</p>","PeriodicalId":57479,"journal":{"name":"园艺研究(英文)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11228094/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141560393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondary metabolites, abundantly found in nature, possess significant medicinal value. Among the regulatory mechanisms governing these metabolic processes, alternative splicing stands out as a widely observed post-transcriptional mechanism present in multicellular organisms. It facilitates the generation of multiple mRNA transcripts from a single gene by selecting different splicing sites. Selective splicing events in plants are widely induced by various signals, including external environmental stress and hormone signals. These events ultimately regulate the secondary metabolic processes and the accumulation of essential secondary metabolites in plants by influencing the synthesis of primary metabolites, hormone metabolism, biomass accumulation, and capillary density. Simultaneously, alternative splicing plays a crucial role in enhancing protein diversity and the abundance of the transcriptome. This paper provides a summary of the factors inducing alternative splicing events in plants and systematically describes the progress in regulating alternative splicing with respect to different secondary metabolites, including terpenoid, phenolic compounds, and nitrogen-containing compounds. Such elucidation offers critical foundational insights for understanding the role of alternative splicing in regulating plant metabolism and presents novel avenues and perspectives for bioengineering.</p>","PeriodicalId":57479,"journal":{"name":"园艺研究(英文)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11317897/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141972341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It aids in degrading harmful erroneous mRNA, thereby preserving a stable and healthy internal environment. In this study, we employed CRISPR/Cas9 and amiRNA technology to generate knock out or knock down mutants of realted genes in the rice NMD pathway. Through transcriptome sequencing and observing phenotype changes, the study explored the impact of NMD pathway defects on rice gene expression and alternative splicing. The results suggest that even partial defects will induce phenotypic changes such as plant height and pollen vitality to different degrees, showing necessity of NMD factors. Gene expression analysis reveals that most differentially expressed genes are upregulated in the mutants, with <i>ko-upf1-like</i> and <i>kd-upf1</i> defects having a more significant impact than <i>kd-upf2</i> and <i>kd-upf3</i>. Specifically, NMD pathway defects result in increased expression levels of rice defense response-related genes and decreased expression levels of secondary metabolism-related genes, with a wider range of affected genes observed in 60-day-old senescence mutants. Transcript analysis indicates that different NMD related genes defects alter hundreds of alternative splicing events, mostly enriched in genes involving alternative splicing regulatory pathways. Approximately half of these events are shared among different mutants, and a substantial number of affected transcripts show NMD target features. NMD could affect both the transcript abundance and their splicing subtypes to regulate the defense response and early-senescence associated pathways, which plays a vital role in rice growth and reproduction.</p>","PeriodicalId":35536,"journal":{"name":"Yi chuan = Hereditas / Zhongguo yi chuan xue hui bian ji","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141627936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
