| 1 | Parallel selection of distinct Tof5 alleles drove the adaptation of cultivated and wild soybean to high latitudes显示文摘Photoperiod responsiveness is a key factor limiting the geographic distribution of cultivated soybean and its wild ancestor.In particular,the genetic basis of the adaptation in wild soybean remains poorly understood.In this study,by combining whole-genome resequencing and genome-wide association studies we identified a novel locus,Time of Flowering 5(Tof5),which promotes flowering and enhances adaptation to high latitudes in both wild and cultivated soybean.By genomic,genetic and transgenic analyses we showed that Tof5 en-codes a homolog of Arabidopsis thaliana FRUITFULL(FUL).Importantly,further analyses suggested that different alleles of Tof5 have undergone parallel selection.The Tof5H1 allele was strongly selected by humans after the early domestication of cultivated soybean,while Tof5H2 allele was naturally selected in wild soybean,and in each case facilitating adaptation to high latitudes.Moreover,we found that the key flowering repressor E1 suppresses the transcription of Tof5 by binding to its promoter.In turn,Tof5 physically associates with the promoters of two important FLOWERING LOCUS T(FT),FT2a and FT5a,to upregulate their transcription and promote flowering under long photoperiods.Collectively,ourfindings provide insights into how wild soybean adapted to high latitudes through natural selection and indicate that cultivated soybean underwent changes in the same gene but evolved a distinct allele that was artificially selected after domestication. | Lidong Dong Qun Cheng Chao Fang Lingping Kong Hui Yang Zhihong Hou Yongli Li Haiyang Nan Yuhang Zhang Qingshan Chen Chunbao Zhang Kun Kou Tong Su Lingshuang Wang Shichen Li Haiyang Li Xiaoya Lin Yang Tang Xiaohui Zhao Sijia Lu Baohui Liu Fanjiang Kong | 2022 | Molecular Plant2022,15,2: | 5 |
| 2 | Two soybean homologues of TERMINAL FLOWER 1 control flowering time under long day conditions显示文摘Flowering time is a key agronomic trait that directly affect the adaptation and yield of soybean.After whole genome duplications,about 75%of genes being represented by multiple copies in soybean.There are four TERMINAL FLOWER 1(TFL1)genes in soybean,and the TFL1b(Dt1)has been characterized as the determinant of stem growth habit.The function of other TFL1 homologs in soybean is still unclear.Here,we generated knockout mutants by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology and found that the tfl1c/tfl1d double mutants flowered significantly earlier than wild-type plants.We investigated that TFL1c and TFL1d could physically interact with the b ZIP transcription factor FDc1 and bind to the promoter of APETALA1a(AP1a).RNA-seq and q RT-PCR analyses indicated that TFL1c and TFL1d repressed the expressions of the four AP1 homologs and delayed the flowering time in soybean.The two genes play important roles in the regulation of flowering time in soybean and mainly act as the flowering inhibitors under long-day conditions.Our results identify novel components in the flowering-time regulation network of soybean and will be invaluable for molecular breeding of improved soybean yield. | Lingshuang Wang Chun Lin Bohui Li Tong Su Shichen Li Haiyang Li Fanglei He Chuanjie Gou Zheng Chen Yanan Wang Jun Qin Baohui Liu Fanjiang Kong Lin Yue Sijia Lu Chao Fang | 2023 | The Crop Journal2023,11,3: | 3 |
| 3 | Cryo-EM structures of human m^(6)A writer complexes显示文摘N6-methyladenosine(m^(6)A)is the most abundant ribonucleotide modification among eukaryotic messenger RNAs.The m^(6)A“writer”consists of the catalytic subunit m^(6)A-METTL complex(MAC)and the regulatory subunit m^(6)A-METTL-associated complex(MACOM),the latter being essential for enzymatic activity.Here,we report the cryo-electron microscopy(cryo-EM)structures of MACOM at a 3.0-Åresolution,uncovering that WTAP and VIRMA form the core structure of MACOM and that ZC3H13 stretches the conformation by binding VIRMA.Furthermore,the 4.4-Åresolution cryo-EM map of the MACOM–MAC complex,combined with crosslinking mass spectrometry and GST pull-down analysis,elucidates a plausible model of the m^(6)A writer complex,in which MACOM binds to MAC mainly through WTAP and METTL3 interactions.In combination with in vitro RNA substrate binding and m^(6)A methyltransferase activity assays,our results illustrate the molecular basis of how MACOM assembles and interacts with MAC to form an active m^(6)A writer complex. | Shichen Su Shanshan Li Ting Deng Minsong Gao Yue Yin Baixing Wu Chao Peng Jianzhao Liu Jinbiao Ma Kaiming Zhang | 2022 | Cell Research2022,32,11: | 3 |
| 4 | Development and validation of InDel markers for identification of QTL underlying flowering time in soybean显示文摘Soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merrill] is a major plant source of protein and oil. An accurate and well-saturated molecular linkage map is a prerequisite for forward genetic studies of gene function and for modern breeding for many useful agronomic traits. Next-generation sequence data available in public databases provides valuable information and offers new insights for rapid and efficient development of molecular markers. In this study, we attempted to show the feasibility and facility of using genomic resequencing data as raw material for identifying putative In Del markers. First, we identified 17,613 In Del sites among 56 soybean accessions and obtained 12,619 primer pairs. Second, we constructed a genetic map with a random subset of 2841 primer pairs and aligned 300 polymorphic markers with the 20 consensus linkage groups(LG). The total genetic distance was 2347.3 c M and the number of mapped markers per LG ranged from 10 to 23 with an average of 15 markers. The largest and smallest genetic distances between adjacent markers were 52.3 c M and 0.1 cM, respectively. Finally, we validated the genetic map constructed by newly developed In Del markers by QTL analysis of days to flowering(DTF) under different environments. One major QTL(qDTF4) and four minor QTL(qDTF20, qDTF13, qDTF12,and q DTF11) on 5 LGs were detected. These results demonstrate the utility of the In Del markers developed in this work for map-based cloning and molecular breeding in soybean. | Jialin Wang Lingping Kong Kanchao Yu Fengge Zhang Xinyi Shi Yanping Wang Haiyang Nan Xiaohui Zhao Sijia Lu Dong Cao Xiaoming Li Chao Fang Feifei Wang Tong Su Shichen Li Xiaohui Yuan Baohui Liu Fanjiang Kong | 2018 | The Crop Journal2018,6,2: | 1 |
| 5 | Multiplex CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of soybean LNK2 advances flowering time显示文摘Flowering time is an important agronomic trait for soybean yield and adaptation. However, the genetic basis of soybean adaptation to diverse latitudes is still not clear. Four NIGHT LIGHT-INDUCIBLE AND CLOCK-REGULATED 2(LNK2) homeologs of Arabidopsis thaliana LNK2 were identified in soybean. Three single-guide RNAs were designed for editing the four LNK2 genes. A transgene-free homozygous quadruple mutant of the LNK2 genes was developed using the CRISPR(clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas9(CRISPR-associated protein 9). Under long-day(LD) conditions, the quadruple mutant flowered significantly earlier than the wild-type(WT). Quantitative real-time PCR(q RT-PCR)revealed that transcript levels of LNK2 were significantly lower in the quadruple mutant than in the WT under LD conditions. LNK2 promoted the expression of the legume-specific E1 gene and repressed the expression of FT2 a. Genetic markers were developed to identify LNK2 mutants for soybean breeding.These results indicate that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated targeted mutagenesis of four LNK2 genes shortens flowering time in soybean. Our findings identify novel components in flowering-time control in soybean and may be beneficial for further soybean breeding in high-latitude environments. | Zhaobo Li Qun Cheng Zhuoran Gan Zhihong Hou Yuhang Zhang Yongli Li Haiyang Li Haiyang Nan Cen Yang Linnan Chen Sijia Lu Wenqian Shi Liyu Chen Yanping Wang Chao Fang Liping Kong Tong Su Shichen Li Kun Kou Lingshuang Wang Fanjiang Kong Baohui Liu Lidong Dong | 2021 | The Crop Journal2021,9,4: | 0 |
| 6 | A recent retrotransposon insertion of J caused E6 locus facilitating soybean adaptation into low latitude显示文摘Soybean(Glycine max) is an important legume crop that was domesticated in temperate regions.Soybean varieties from these regions generally mature early and exhibit extremely low yield when grown under inductive short-day(SD) conditions at low latitudes. The long-juvenile(LJ) trait, which is characterized by delayed flowering and maturity,and improved yield under SD conditions, allowed the cultivation of soybean to expand to lower latitudes. Two major loci control the LJ trait: J and E6. In the current study, positional cloning, sequence analysis, and transgenic complementation confirmed that E6 is a novel allele of J, the ortholog of Arabidopsis thaliana EARLY FLOWERING 3(ELF3). The mutant allele e6^(PG), which carries a Ty1/Copia-like retrotransposon insertion, does not suppress the legume-specific flowering repressor E1, allowing E1 to inhibit Flowering Locus T(FT) expression and thus delaying flowering and increasing yields under SD conditions. The e6^(PG)allele is a rare allele that has not been incorporated into modern breeding programs.The dysfunction of J might have greatly facilitated the adaptation of soybean to low latitudes. Our findings increase our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the LJ trait and provide valuable resources for soybean breeding. | Chao Fang Jun Liu Ting Zhang Tong Su Shichen Li Qun Cheng Lingping Kong Xiaoming Li Tiantian Bu Haiyang Li Lidong Dong Sijia Lu Fanjiang Kong Baohui Liu | 2021 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2021,63,6: | 0 |
