Analysis of microRNA reveals cleistogamous and chasmogamous floret divergence in dimorphic plant.
Scientific Reports 2018 April 20
Cleistogenes songorica, a grass species that exhibits two spatially different type of inflorescence, chastogamy (CH), flowers localized at the top, and cleistogamy (CL) flowers embedded in leaf sheath. This study aimed at dissecting reasons underlying these distinct floral development patterns at morphological and microRNA level. Phenotyping for CH and CL was conducted and four small RNA libraries were constructed from the CH and CL flowers for high-throughput sequencing to identify the differentiated miRNAs. As results, spikelet, stigma, anther, lemma and lodicule length of CH flowers were found larger than that of CL, and so was seed setting. Also, 17 flower-related differential expression miRNAs were identified which were associated with floral organ development and morphogenesis, and the flower development. Further results showed that miR159a.1-CL3996.Contig2 pair was related to anther development, miR156a-5p-CL1954.Contig2 was linked to response to high light intensity, miR408-3p/miR408d-Unigene429 was related to pollination and Unigene429 positively regulated flower development. To our knowledge, this is the first study on differential miRNA accumulation between CH and CL flowers and our study serves as a foundation to the future elucidation of regulatory mechanisms of miRNAs in the divergent development of CL and CH flowers in a single plant.
