R2R3-MYBs in <em>Populus davidiana</em> × <em>Populus bolleana</em> have, however, not been systematically investigated. Here, based on the gene annotation of <em>P. davidiana</em> × <em>P. bolleana</em> genome sequence, all PdbR2R3-MYB transcripts were identified. These PdbR2R3-MYBs were classified into 29 subgroups (C2 to C30) according to the phylogenetic analysis of <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> AtR2R3-MYBs. The analysis of gene structures and protein motifs showed the conservation and evolution of PdbR2R3-MYBs. The <em>cis</em>-acting elements in the promoters of <em>PdbR2R3-MYB</em> genes were predicted, and the results indicated an abundance of abscisic acid and defense- and stress-responsive elements. The results of qRT-PCR revealed that nine <em>PdbR2R3-MYB</em> genes were differentially expressed in various tissues and can be regulated by drought stress; thus, these genes may play key roles in the response of plants to drought stress. In addition, the expression of <em>PdbMYB5</em> and <em>PdbMYB102</em> was significantly higher than those of the other seven MYB genes; hence, <em>PdbMYB5</em> and <em>PdbMYB102</em> overexpressing (OE) and silenced (SE) poplar plants were generated to investigate drought stress tolerance. The <em>PdbMYB5</em> and <em>PdbMYB102</em> OE plants showed enhanced reactive oxygen species scavenging capability, less cell damage, and high expression levels of the <em>SOD</em> and <em>POD</em> genes, whereas the SE plants showed the opposite results, thus suggesting that <em>PdbMYB5</em> and <em>PdbMYB102</em> conferred enhanced drought tolerance to the plants.

In this study, a comprehensive bioinformatic analysis identified the presence of seven <em>C5-MTases</em> (TcC5-MTases) and three <em>dMTases</em> (TcdMTases) in cacao. According to the sequence similarity, and conserved motif and domain architecture, TcC5-MTases were phylogenetically classified into METHYLTRANSFERASE 1 (TcMET1), CHROMOMETHYLASE (TcCMT1-3), DOMAINS REARRANGED METHYLASE (TcDRM1/2, TcDRM3), and de novo DNA METHYLTRANSFERASE 2 (TcDNMT2), and TcdMTases were classified into DEMETER (TcDME), REPRESSOR OF SILENCING 1 (TcROS1, also known as DEMETER-LIKE 1 (TcDML1)), and TcDML3 subfamilies.

Spatial genetic structure was observed up to 82 m. Reproduction occurred mainly by outcrossing, with low rates of selfing (7.5%) and biparental inbreeding (13.2%).

This study aimed to establish a genetic database of 240 individuals from Maâmora forest using seven SSR markers.

Statistical analysis of the data showed a high degree of allelic variation, generating 47 alleles with an average of 6.71 alleles per locus. Furthermore, a high percentage of polymorphisms and a high Shannon index were observed. Intra-population genetic diversity was found to be high (86%) compared to inter-population diversity (14%). A low level of genetic differentiation (Gst = 0.12) and high gene flow were identified, consistent with the results obtained from the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA).

In general, the domestication process often narrows the natural genetic diversity. Modern selections (i.e., breeding programs) dramatically accelerated this genetic bottleneck trend to a few successful almond cultivars, which are presently the founders of most commercial cultivars worldwide. The concept of utilizing wild species as a source for important traits and for the enrichment of the gene pool was deeply discussed in previous studies. However, in almonds and other <i>Prunus</i> species, deliberate utilization of wild species as a genetic resource for breeding programs is quite rare. To address these significant challenges, we generated an interspecific F1 population between the Israeli almond cultivar Um el Fahem (UEF) and a specimen of a local wild almond species, <i>Prunus arabica</i> (<i>P. arabica</i>), originating from the Judea desert. This interspecific F1 population possesses high phenotypic variability, and sixteen segregating traits were phenotyped. Among the segregating traits, we were able to genetically associate six agriculturally important traits, such as leaf chlorophyll content (LCC), flower size, and fruit size. The alleles for Self-Compatibility (SC) and kernel bitterness were previously mapped in almond and were reexamined on the background of the distinctive wild genetic material of <i>P. arabica</i>. Finally, phenotypic interactions between traits were suggested, such as rootstock perimeter and canopy area that were positively correlated with total yield in the F1 population. This study is a first step towards developing a well-characterized almond interspecies genetic population. The availability of such a genetic tool with detailed phenotypic analysis is crucial to address and explore the profound influence of almond wild species in <i>Prunus</i> genetic research and breeding. By using the interspecific population as the infrastructure, we show the advantages and importance of utilizing wild relatives.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11295-024-01668-4.</p>","PeriodicalId":23335,"journal":{"name":"Tree Genetics & Genomes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11469977/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142475820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
