| 1 | Systematic dissection of disease resistance to southern corn rust by bulked-segregant and transcriptome analysis显示文摘Southern corn rust(SCR) is a destructive maize disease caused by Puccinia polysora Underw. To investigate the mechanism of SCR resistance in maize, a highly resistant inbred line, L119 A, and a highly susceptible line, Lx9801, were subjected to gene mapping and transcriptome analysis. Bulked-segregant analysis coupled with whole-genome sequencing revealed several quantitative trait loci(QTL) on chromosomes 1, 6, 8, and 10. A set of 25 genes, including two coiled-coil nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat(CC-NBS-LRR) genes, were identified as candidate genes for a major-effect QTL on chromosome 10. To investigate the mechanism of SCR resistance in L119 A, RNA-seq of P. polysorainoculated and non-inoculated plants of L119 A and Lx9801 was performed. Unexpectedly, the number of differentially expressed genes in inoculated versus non-inoculated L119 A plants was about 10 times that of Lx9801, with only 29 common genes identified in both lines, suggesting extensive gene expression changes in the highly resistant but not in the susceptible line. Based on the transcriptome analysis, one of the CC-NBS-LRR candidate genes was confirmed to be upregulated in L119 A relative to Lx9801 independently of P. polysora inoculation. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses indicated that transcription factors, as well as genes involved in defense responses and metabolic processes, were dominantly enriched, with the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway most specifically activated. Consistently, accumulation of phenylpropanoid-derived lignin, especially S lignin, was drastically increased in L119 A after P. polysora inoculation, but remained unchanged in Lx9801, suggesting a critical role of lignin in SCR resistance. A regulatory network of defense activation and metabolic change in SCR-resistant maize upon P. polysora infection is described. | Xiaohuan Mu Zhuangzhuang Dai Zhanyong Guo Hui Zhang Jianping Yang Xinke Gan Jiankun Li Zonghua Liu Jihua Tang Mingyue Gou | 2022 | The Crop Journal2022，10，2： | 1 |
| 2 | Food nutrition and toxicology targeting on specific organs in the era of single-cell sequencing显示文摘Due to the complex natures of dietary food components,it is difficult to elucidate how the compounds affect host health.Dietary food often selectively presents its mechanism of action on different cell types,and participates in the modulation of targeted cells and their microenvironments within organs.However,the limitations of traditional in vitro assays or in vivo animal experiments cannot comprehensively examine cellular heterogeneity and the tissue-biased influences.Single-cell RNA sequencing(sc RNA-seq)has emerged as an indispensable methodology to decompose tissues into different cell types for the demonstration of transcriptional profiles of individual cells.Sc RNA-seq applications has been summarized on three typical organs(brain,liver,kidney),and two representative immune-and tumor related health problems.The everincreasing role of sc RNA-seq in dietary food research with further improvement can provide sub-cellular information and the coupling between other cellular modalities.In this review,we propose utilizing sc RNAseq to more effectively capture the subtle and complex effects of food chemicals,and how they may lead to health problems at single-cell resolution.This novel technique will be valuable to elucidate the underlying mechanism of both the health benefits of food nutrients and the detrimental consequences food toxicants at the cellular level. | Xiaofei Wang Xiaowen Cheng Huiling Liu Xiaohuan Mu Hao Zheng | 2024 | Food Science and Human Wellness2024，13，1： | 0 |
