Extremely Early Flowering and Large Grain Isogenic Japonica Rice Koshihikari Integrated with Gene e1 and GW2

Tomita, M.Open in Google Scholar•Arai, K.Open in Google Scholar

The extremely early flowering/large-grain isogenic Koshihikari was developed by combining the large-grain allele, GW2, derived from Inochinoichi with the year-round flowering allele, e1, from Kanto 79. We conducted four back crosses with Koshihikari as a recurrent parent by using an extremely early flowering/large-grain e1GW2 homozygote as a non-recurrent parent, which was segregated in B1F2 between Kanto 79 and a large-grain fixed F3 plant in Koshihikari [divonx] Inochinoichi. In the BC4F2 population, the e1GW2 homozygous phenotype was selected and fixed in BC4F3 as Kshihikari e1GW2. plants were segregated according to a ratio of 1 extremely early flowering/large-grain e1GW2 : 3 extremely early maturing/small-grain e1gw2 : 3 medium-maturing/large-grain e1GW2 : 9 medium-flowering/small-grain E1gw2 and e1GW2 homozygous isogenic Koshihikari [Koshihiakri e1GW2] was fixed in BC4F3. Whole genome sequencing of Koshihiakri e1GW2 proved that already known 1 deletion in GW2 at 8,147,416 bp on chromosome 2, and an e1 isogenic-specific SNP at 9,090,618 bp, which was 35,213 bp downstream to the 3\' side of Ghd7 on chromosome 7. RT-qPCR analyses showed that the transcription of Ghd7 was suppressed in Koshihikari e1GW2 than in Koshihikari. The Koshihikari e1GW2 flowered 14 days earlier than Koshihikari and thousand grain weight of Koshihikari e1GW2 (27.8 g) was 18% larger than Koshihikari (23.6 g). We successfully integrated GW2 with e1 for the first time, especially in the genome of a globally produced Japonica leading cultivar Koshihikari. The Koshihikari e1GW2 was registered under plant varietal protection.

Imputation Disparities Driven by Recent Selectionand Their Impact on Disease Risk Estimation in East and Southeast Asian Populations
Using genotype data consisting of 8,316 individuals, we systematically evaluated imputation performance across six state-of-the-art reference panels for Chinese and Thai populations. A substantial proportion of variants identified through whole-genome sequencing, especially low-frequency variants, remained undetected by existing reference panels. In the Chinese population, the TOPMed panel require...

Comparative analysis of mammalian adaptive immune loci revealed spectacular divergence and common genetic patterns
Adaptive immune responses are mediated by the production of adaptive immune receptors, antibodies and T-cell receptors, that bind antigens, thus causing their neutralization. Unlike other proteins, adaptive immune receptors are not fully encoded in the germline genome and result from a complex of somatic processes collectively called V(D)J recombination affecting germline immunoglobulin (IG) and T...

Clinical and Genomic Characterization of Recalcitrant Enterococcal Bacteremia: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study (VENOUS)
Background. Patients with recalcitrant enterococcal bloodstream infections are at greater risk of adverse outcomes. We identified patients in the 2016-2022 Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcal Bacteremia Outcomes Study (VENOUS) cohort experiencing recalcitrant bloodstream infections for further clinical and genomic characterization. Methods. Bacteremia episodes were considered persistent if there was...

Joint profiling of 5mC, 5hmC, and the transcriptome in single cells identifies factors responsible for genome-wide DNA methylation erasure in human primordial germ cell maturation
Reprogramming of DNA methylation plays a vital role in the establishment of cell identity during early mammalian development. To gain deeper mechanistic insights into this process requires capturing the entire dynamics of DNA methylation - both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and its downstream oxidation product 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) - in individual cells. Therefore, in this work, we report a new ...

A high-quality chromosome-level genome of an undescribed Meretrix species using Nanopore and Hi-C technologies
Meretrix is a commercially valuable bivalve genus in Asia, but only one reference genome has hindered comprehensive genetic studies and germplasm resource evaluation. In this study, we present three reference genomes of Meretrix species: Meretrix sp. MF1, Meretrix sp. MT1, and Meretrix lamarckii JML1. Meretrix sp. MF1 was assembled at the chromosome level using Nanopore sequencing and Hi-C technol...

Genomic Insights into the Evolution of Carnivory in the Giant Butterwort, Pinguicula gigantea: Chromosome-Level Assembly and Phylogenomic Analysis
Carnivorous plants provide a powerful system for studying plant morphological and physiological evolution. These plants capture and digest prey for nutrients and this rare trait has evolved independently at least eleven times in thirteen families within six orders. Among these are the butterworts in the genus Pinguicula. This group of plants captures prey on a basal rosette of sticky leaves where ...

From Understudied to Understood: The MiniENCODE Framework for Multi-Omics Analysis in Diverse Species
The ENCODE project has revolutionized our understanding of functional genomic elements, yet its exhaustive approach remains inaccessible to smaller communities studying non-model organisms. To address this challenge, we developed the miniENCODE framework - a resource-efficient strategy combining carefully selected experimental assays with an integrated computational platform. Using zebrafish as a ...

The Micrapis subgenus, which includes the black dwarf honey bee (Apis andreniformis) and the red dwarf honey bee (Apis florea), remains underrepresented in genomic studies despite its ecological significance. Here, we present high-quality de novo genome assemblies for both species, generated using a hybrid sequencing approach combining Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) long reads with Illumina sh...

Sex Chromosome Turnover and Structural Interspecific Genome Divergence Shapes Meiotic Outcomes in Hybridizing Cobitis
It has been empirically established that genome mixing between divergent species can trigger meiotic aberrations, ultimately leading to the emergence of asexual reproduction through the production of unreduced gametes in various metazoan lineages. Yet, it remains poorly understood how such asexual hybrids cope with co-inherited differences in sex determination systems, diverged regulatory networks...

Human-specific transposable elements shaped the evolution of craniofacial development through regulation of neural crest migration
Craniofacial development and neural crest specification are evolutionarily conserved processes, yet subtle modifications to their gene regulatory networks drive species-specific craniofacial diversity. Transposable elements (TEs) are increasingly recognized as contributors to genome evolution, but their role in shaping neural crest regulatory programs remains underexplored. Here, we investigate th...
