Genome-wide identification of histone methylation (H3K9me2) and acetylation (H4K12ac) marks in two ecotypes of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.)
Abstract
Background: Histone modifications play a significant role in the regulation of transcription and various biological processes, such as development and regeneration. Though a few genomic (including DNA methylation patterns) and transcriptomic studies are currently available in switchgrass, the genome-wide distribution of histone modifications has not yet been studied to help elucidate gene regulation and its application to switchgrass improvement. Results: This study provides a comprehensive epigenomic analyses of two contrasting switchgrass ecotypes, lowland (AP13) and upland (VS16), by employing chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) with two histone marks (suppressive- H3K9me2 and active- H4K12ac). In this study, most of the histone binding was in non-genic regions, and the highest enrichment was seen between 0 and 2 kb regions from the transcriptional start site (TSS). Considering the economic importance and potential of switchgrass as a bioenergy crop, we focused on genes, transcription factors (TFs), and pathways that were associated with C4-photosynthesis, biomass, biofuel production, biotic stresses, and abiotic stresses. Using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) the relative expression of five genes selected from the phenylpropanoid-monolignol pathway showed preferential binding of acetylation marks in AP13 rather than in VS16. Conclusions: The genome-wide histone modifications reported here can be utilized in understanding the regulation of genesmore »
