Dissection of the molecular bases of genotype x environment interactions: a study of phenotypic plasticity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in grape juices.
BMC Genomics 2018 November 10
BACKGROUND: The ability of a genotype to produce different phenotypes according to its surrounding environment is known as phenotypic plasticity. Within different individuals of the same species, phenotypic plasticity can vary greatly. This contrasting response is caused by gene-by-environment interactions (GxE). Understanding GxE interactions is particularly important in agronomy, since selected breeds and varieties may have divergent phenotypes according to their growing environment. Industrial microbes such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae are also faced with a large range of fermentation conditions that affect their technological properties. Finding the molecular determinism of such variations is a critical task for better understanding the genetic bases of phenotypic plasticity and can also be helpful in order to improve breeding methods.
RESULTS: In this study we implemented a QTL mapping program using two independent cross (~ 100 progeny) in order to investigate the molecular basis of yeast phenotypic response in a wine fermentation context. Thanks to whole genome sequencing approaches, both crosses were genotyped, providing saturated genetic maps of thousands of markers. Linkage analyses allowed the detection of 78 QTLs including 21 with significant interaction with the environmental conditions. Molecular dissection of a major QTL demonstrated that the sulfite pump Ssu1p has a pleiotropic effect and impacts the phenotypic plasticity of several traits.
CONCLUSIONS: The detection of QTLs and their interactions with environment emphasizes the complexity of yeast industrial traits. The validation of the interaction of SSU1 allelic variants with the nature of the fermented juice increases knowledge about the impact of the sulfite pump during fermentation. All together these results pave the way for exploiting and deciphering the genetic determinism of phenotypic plasticity.
