摘要
Allele specific expression(ASE),whereby an allele from one parent was preferentially expressed in the hybrid over the allele from the other parent,has been assumed to play a role in heterosis. In this study,we investigated the extent and patterns of ASE by comparing the transcriptomes of Zhenshan 97(ZS97) and Minghui 63(MH63),and their hybrid,which is the indica cross of Shanyou 63,the most widely grown hybrid in China over the past three decades. The hybrid,and the parents were grown under four different conditions(long day/high temperature(LDHT),long day/low temperature(LDLT),short day/high temperature(SDHT) and short day/low temperature(SDLT)). Shoot at seedling stage,flag leaf and panicle at heading stage were sampled by RNA-seq technology. ASE was identified by aligning the RNA-seq reads to the high quality reference genomes of ZS97 and MH63 recently released from our lab. In three tissues(shoot/flag leaf/panicle),1536/2161/2375,1344/3072/2028,1530/1714/2821 and 1297/3380/3517 genes showed differential expression between the hybrid and the parents at LDHT,LDLT,SDHT and SDLT conditions respectively. Moreover,1172/1325/1216,992/1060/1189,1115/1026/1056 and 987/1099/1152 genes exhibited ASE at LDHT,LDLT,SDHT and SDLT conditions respectively. Subsequent analysis of expression regulation of allelic genes shows dynamic patterns affected by developmental stages and growth conditions. Our results suggested that dynamic patterns of ASE may play a role in the manifestation of heterosis.
