Barley is one of the top 10 crop plants in the world. During its whole lifespan, barley is frequently infected by various pathogens. In this study, we performed genome-wide analysis of the largest group of plant disease resistance (R) genes, the nucleotide binding site–leucine-rich repeat receptor (NLR) gene, in an updated barley genome. A total of 468 NLR genes were identified from the improved barley genome, including one RNL subclass and 467 CNL subclass genes. Proteins of 43 barley CNL genes were shown to contain 25 different integrated domains, including WRKY and BED. The NLR gene number identified in this study is much larger than previously reported results in earlier versions of barley genomes, and only slightly fewer than that in the diploid wheat Triticum urartu. Barley Chromosome 7 contains the largest number of 112 NLR genes, which equals to seven times of the number of NLR genes on Chromosome 4. The majority of NLR genes (68%) are located in multigene clusters. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that at least 18 ancestral CNL lineages were presented in the common ancestor of barley, T. urartu and Arabidopsis thaliana. Among them fifteen lineages expanded to 533 sub-lineages prior to the divergence of barley and T. urartu. The barley genome inherited 356 of these sub-lineages and duplicated to the 467 CNL genes detected in this study. Overall, our study provides an updated profile of barley NLR genes, which should serve as a fundamental resource for functional gene mining and molecular breeding of barley.

Plant Disease Resistance Genes

Secale cereale is an important crop in the Triticeae tribe of the Poaceae family, and it has unique agronomic characteristics and genome properties. It possesses resistance to many diseases and serves as an important resource for the breeding of other Triticeae crops. We performed a genome-wide study on S. cereale to identify the largest group of plant disease resistance genes (R genes), the nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat receptor (NBS-LRR) genes. In its genome, 582 NBS-LRR genes were identified, including one from the RNL subclass and 581 from the CNL subclass. The NBS-LRR gene number in the S. cereale genome is greater than that in barley and the diploid wheat genomes. S. cereale chromosome 4 contains the largest number of NBS-LRR genes among the seven chromosomes, which is different from the pattern in barley and the genomes B and D of wheat but similar to that in the genome A of wheat. Further synteny analysis suggests that more NBS-LRR genes on chromosome 4 have been inherited from a common ancestor by S. cereale and the wheat genome A than the wheat genomes B and D. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that at least 740 NBS-LRR lineages are present in the common ancestor of S. cereale, Hordeum vulgare and Triticum urartu. However, most of them have only been inherited by one or two species, with only 65 of them preserved in all three species. The S. cereale genome inherited 382 of these ancestral NBS-LRR lineages, but 120 of them have been lost in both H. vulgare and T. urartu. This study provides the full NBS-LRR profile of the S. cereale genome, which is a resource for S. cereale breeding and indicates that S. cereale can be an important material for the molecular breeding of other Triticeae crops.

AbstractWhen exploring statistical properties of genetic sequences two main features stand out: the existence of non-random structures at various scales (e.g., long-range correlations) and the presence of symmetries (e.g., Chargaff parity rules). In the last decades, numerous studies investigated the origin and significance of each of these features separately. Here we show that both symmetry and structure have to be considered as the outcome of the same biological processes, whose cumulative effect can be quantitatively measured on extant genomes. We present a novel analysis (based on a minimal model) that not only explains and reproduces previous observations but also predicts the existence of a nested hierarchy of symmetries emerging at different structural scales. Our genome-wide analysis of H. Sapiens confirms the theoretical predictions.

Abstract Background: Walnut anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. and Sacc. is an important walnut production problem in China. Although the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important for plant disease resistance , the molecular mechanisms underlying resistance to C. gloeosporioides in walnut remain poorly understood.Results: The anthracnose-resistant F26 fruits from the B26 clone and the anthracnose-susceptible F423 fruits from the 4-23 clone of walnut were used as the test materials. Specifically, we performed a comparative transcriptome analysis of F26 and F423 fruit bracts to identify differentially expressed LncRNAs (DELs) at five time-points (tissues at 0 hpi, pathological tissues at 24 hpi, 48 hpi, 72 hpi, and distal uninoculated tissues at 120 hpi). Compared with F423, a total of 14525 DELs were identified, including 10645 upregulated lncRNAs and 3846 downregulated lncRNAs in F26. The number of upregulated lncRNAs in F26 compared to in F423 was significantly higher at the early stages of C. gloeosporioides infection. A total of 5 modules related to disease resistance were screened by WGCNA and the target genes of lncRNAs were obtained. Bioinformatic analysis showed that the target genes of upregulated lncRNAs were enriched in immune-related processes during the infection of C. gloeosporioides, such as activation of innate immune response, defense response to bacterium, incompatible interaction and immune system process, and enriched in plant hormone signal transduction, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and other pathways. And 124 known target genes for 96 hub lncRNAs were predicted, including 10 known resistance genes. The expression of 5 lncRNAs and 5 target genes was confirmed by qPCR, which was consistent with the RNA-seq data.Conclusions: The results of this study provide the basis for future functional characterizations of lncRNAs regarding the C. gloeosporioides resistance of walnut fruit bracts.

SummaryTransposable elements (TEs) provide major evolutionary forces leading to new genome structure and species diversification. However, the role of TEs in the expansion of disease resistance gene families has been unexplored in plants. Here, we report high-quality de novo genomes for two peppers (Capsicum baccatum and C. chinense) and an improved reference genome (C. annuum). Dynamic genome rearrangements involving translocations among chromosome 3, 5 and 9 were detected in comparison between C. baccatum and the two other peppers. The amplification of athila LTR-retrotransposons, members of the gypsy superfamily, led to genome expansion in C. baccatum. In-depth genome-wide comparison of genes and repeats unveiled that the copy numbers of NLRs were greatly increased by LTR-retrotransposon-mediated retroduplication. Moreover, retroduplicated NLRs exhibited great abundance across the angiosperms, with most cases lineage-specific and thus recent events. Our study revealed that retroduplication has played key roles in the emergence of new disease-resistance genes in plants.
