Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 10Interaction With Fungi Promotes the Accumulation of Specific Defense Molecules in Orchid Tubers and May Increase the Value of Tubers for Biotechnological and Medicinal Applications: the Case Study of Interaction Between Dactylorhiza Sp. and Tulasnella Calospora(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022) Hampejsová, Romana; Berka, Miroslav; Berková, Veronika; Jersáková, Jana; Domkářová, Jaroslava; von Rundstedt, Friederike; Frary, Anne; Saiz-Fernández, Iñigo; Brzobohatý, Břetislav; Černý, MartinTerrestrial orchids can form tubers, organs modified to store energy reserves. Tubers are an attractive source of nutrients, and salep, a flour made from dried orchid tubers, is the source of traditional beverages. Tubers also contain valuable secondary metabolites and are used in traditional medicine. The extensive harvest of wild orchids is endangering their populations in nature; however, orchids can be cultivated and tubers mass-produced. This work illustrates the importance of plant-fungus interaction in shaping the content of orchid tubers in vitro. Orchid plants of Dactylorhiza sp. grown in asymbiotic culture were inoculated with a fungal isolate from Tulasnella calospora group and, after 3 months of co-cultivation, tubers were analyzed. The fungus adopted the saprotrophic mode of life, but no visible differences in the morphology and biomass of the tubers were detected compared to the mock-treated plants. To elucidate the mechanisms protecting the tubers against fungal infestation, proteome, metabolome, and lipidome of tubers were analyzed. In total, 1,526, 174, and 108 proteins, metabolites, and lipids were quantified, respectively, providing a detailed snapshot of the molecular process underlying plant-microbe interaction. The observed changes at the molecular level showed that the tubers of inoculated plants accumulated significantly higher amounts of antifungal compounds, including phenolics, alkaloid Calystegine B2, and dihydrophenanthrenes. The promoted antimicrobial effects were validated by observing transient inhibition of Phytophthora cactorum growth. The integration of omics data highlighted the promotion of flavonoid biosynthesis, the increase in the formation of lipid droplets and associated production of oxylipins, and the accumulation of auxin in response to T. calospora. Taken together, these results provide the first insights into the molecular mechanisms of defense priming in orchid tubers and highlight the possible use of fungal interactors in biotechnology for the production of orchid secondary metabolites.Book Part Citation - WoS: 10Synteny Among Solanaceae Genomes(Springer, 2016) Frary, Amy; Doğanlar, Sami; Frary, AnneThe Solanaceae was among the first plant families to be analyzed via comparative mapping and thus was a pioneer in the realm of synteny studies. Analyses of chromosome content and organization have employed a range of techniques, including linkage mapping of genes and molecular markers, physical mapping via fluorescence in situ hybridization, and sequencing of relatively small genomic segments as well as the complete sequencing of the tomato genome. Early comparisons in the family involved tomato and its close relative potato and have extended outward to include eggplant, pepper, tobacco, and petunia. Not surprisingly, the degree of synteny among these species is a function of the time since their divergence, with inversion, translocation, and transposition being the chief mechanisms of chromosome rearrangement. The results of this work provide important insight into the modes and tempo of plant genome evolution while serving a practical purpose as well: knowledge of genome synteny and colinearity makes it easier to leverage resources from one species to another in this agronomically important family.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 10Association Mapping of Agro-Morphological Traits in European Hazelnut (corylus Avellana)(Springer, 2019) Frary, Amy; Öztürk, Süleyman Can; Balık, Hüseyin İrfan; Balık, Selda Kayalak; Kızılcı, Gökhan; Doğanlar, Sami; Frary, AnneMore than half of European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) production occurs in Turkey. Despite this dominance, the yield of Turkish cultivars has remained stagnant over the past 10years with Italian yield nearly double that in Turkey. This difference is due to Turkey's unique cultivation system; hazelnuts are grown in bushy clusters (ocak system), not as single trees. Current hazelnut breeding efforts are shifting toward the development of materials for single plant orchards which are much higher yielding; thus, there is a need to explore germplasm for relevant agro-morphological traits and to determine their genetic control. The objectives of this study were to examine data for 44 such traits in 390 hazelnut accessions: 16 cultivars, 232 landraces and 142 wild individuals from nine provinces in Turkey and to map the loci associated with these characteristics using simple sequence repeat markers. Comparison of cultivars, landraces and wild hazelnut accessions revealed the effects of domestication and selection on the crop and indicated that useful alleles for traits such as cropping and reduced alternate bearing may exist in the wild germplasm. A total of 145 quantitative trait loci (QTL) were detected with the largest proportions identified for involucre (26%) and inflorescence (14%) morphology. Several markers co-localized with more than one trait including markers for male catkin abundance which were shared with plant vigor and height. Similarly, markers for female flower abundance co-localized with suckering and alternate bearing. Such markers and their linked QTL should be studied in more detail as they might help breeders select for plant vigor, decreased suckering and increased flower production: traits which will be extremely useful for Turkey's transition to single plant orchards.Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 47Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci for Antioxidant Molecules in Tomato Fruit: Carotenoids, Vitamins C and E, Glutathione and Phenolic Acids(Elsevier, 2020) Gürbüz Çolak, Nergiz; Tek, Neslihan; Ülger, Mehmet; Frary, Anne; Doğanlar, SamiThe nutritional value of a crop lies not only in its protein, lipid, and sugar content but also involves compounds such as the antioxidants lycopene, beta-carotene and vitamin C. In the present study, wild tomato Solanum pimpinellifolium LA 1589 was assessed for its potential to improve antioxidant content. This wild species was found to be a good source of alleles for increasing beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamin C and vitamin E contents in cultivated tomato. Characterization of an LA 1589 interspecific inbred backcross line (IBL) mapping population revealed many individuals with transgressive segregation for the antioxidants confirming the usefulness of this wild species for breeding of these traits. Molecular markers were used to identify QTLs for the metabolites in the IBL population. In total, 64 QTLs were identified for the antioxidants and their locations were compared to the map positions of previously identified QTLs for confirmation. Four (57 %) of the carotenoid QTLs, four (36 %) of the vitamin QTLs, and 11 (25 %) of the phenolic acid QTLs were supported by previous studies. Furthermore, several potential candidate genes were identified for vitamins C and E and phenolic acids loci. These candidate genes might be used as markers in breeding programs to increase tomato's antioxidant content.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 14Transcriptomic Analysis of Selenium Accumulation in Puccinellia Distans (jacq.) Parl., a Boron Hyperaccumulator(Elsevier, 2020) Kök, Aysu Başak; Mungan, Mehmet Direnç; Doğanlar, Sami; Frary, AnneSelenium (Se) is present in a wide variety of natural and man-made materials on Earth. Plants are able to tolerate and (hyper)accumulate Se to different extents. In fact, some species can tolerate and accumulate multiple elements. Puccinellia distans (P. distans), weeping alkali grass, is known to hyperaccumulate extreme concentrations of boron and tolerate high levels of salinity, therefore, we investigated the Se accumulation and tolerance capacities of this species. In addition, P. distans' Se tolerance mechanism was studied using a transcriptomic approach. The results of this study indicated that, when grown in a hydroponic system containing 80 or 120 mu M Se, P. distans shoots accumulated from 1500 to 2500-fold more Se than plants grown without the element. Thus, P. distans was discovered to be a novel Se accumulator plant. RNA sequencing results and biochemical analyses helped to shed light on the Se tolerance and accumulation mechanism of P. distans. Here, we suggest that upregulation of Se assimilation and stress response genes may be due to induction of jasmonic acid signaling. In addition, we propose that the cell wall may play an important role in restriction of Se movement to the cytoplasm. Also, we hypothesize that Se accumulates in cells by sequestration of selenate in the vacuole. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

Breeding for fruit flavor is difficult because it is a quantitatively inherited trait influenced by taste, aroma and environmental factors. A lack of genetic diversity in modern tomato cultivars also necessitates exploration of new sources for flavor alleles. Wild tomato S. pimpinellifolium and inbred backcross lines were assessed for individual sugars and organic acids which are two of the main components of tomato flavor. S. pimpinellifolium was found to harbor alleles that could be used to increase glucose and fructose content and adjust acidity by altering malic and citric acid levels. Single nucleotide polymorphism markers were used to detect 14 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for sugars and 71 for organic acids. Confirmation was provided by comparing map locations with previously identified loci. Thus, seven (50 %) of the sugar QTLs and 22 (31 %) of the organic acids loci were supported by analyses in other tomato populations. Examination of the genomic sequence containing the QTLs allowed identification of potential candidate genes for several flavor components. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 179Citation - Scopus: 229Health Benefits and Bioactive Compounds of Eggplant(Elsevier, 2018) Gürbüz, Nergiz; Uluışık, Selman; Frary, Anne; Frary, Amy; Doğanlar, SamiEggplant is a vegetable crop that is grown around the world and can provide significant nutritive benefits thanks to its abundance of vitamins, phenolics and antioxidants. In addition, eggplant has potential pharmaceutical uses that are just now becoming recognized. As compared to other crops in the Solanaceae, few studies have investigated eggplant's metabolic profile. Metabolomics and metabolic profiling are important platforms for assessing the chemical composition of plants and breeders are increasingly concerned about the nutritional and health benefits of crops. In this review, the historical background and classification of eggplant are shortly explained; then the beneficial phytochemicals, antioxidant activity and health effects of eggplant are discussed in detail.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 15Identification of Stable Qtls for Fiber Quality and Plant Structure in Upland Cotton (g. Hirsutum L.) Under Drought Stress(Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Akköse Baytar, Asena; Peynircioğlu, Ceng; Sezener, Volkan; Basal, Hüseyin; Frary, Anne; Frary, Amy; Doğanlar, SamiCotton is an economically important commodity for nearly fifty industries including the textile sector which is largely based on cotton fiber. Identification of markers linked to loci for fiber traits under drought stress may be particularly beneficial because such loci could provide the genetic adaptability needed to produce good fiber under water limitation. In the present study, 177 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to detect significant quantitative trait loci (QTLs) linked to 11 fiber quality and plant structure traits in a panel of 99 Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genotypes using GLM and MLM analysis. The fiber quality traits, including fiber length (FL), fiber fineness (FF), fiber strength (FS), fiber elasticity (FE), fiber uniformity (FU), spinning conversion index (SCI), earliness (EAR), 1st position boll retention (1st PBR), 2nd position boll retention (2nd PBR), total boll number (TBN) and plant height (PH), were tested under both well-watered and water-limited irrigations in two locations. At both locations, GLM identified a total of 74 and 70 QTLs under well-watered and water limited conditions, respectively, at p ≤ 0.005. MLM detected seven and 23 QTLs under well-watered and water-limited conditions, respectively. Of the identified QTLs, some QTLs were detected in both locations: three for well-watered and two for water-stress conditions. Moreover, a total of 19 QTLs were stable under both watering-regimes. The QTLs identified herein could be useful in the development of cotton cultivars that have adaptability to drought conditions worldwide.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 21Molecular Genetic Diversity in the Origanum Genus: Est-Ssr and Srap Marker Analyses of the 22 Species in Eight Sections That Naturally Occur in Turkey(Elsevier, 2018) Taşcıoğlu, Tülin; Sadıkoğlu, Narin; Doğanlar, Sami; Frary, AnneOriganum (L.) is a genus of herbaceous perennials with culinary and medicinal uses with many species found in the Mediterranean region. The taxonomic classification of species belonging to this genus has been studied using morphological, biochemical and genetic diversity analyses. In this study, the genetic diversity of 22 Turkish Origanum species (including 24 taxa from eight sections) was examined with 46 herbarium specimens from the Mediterranean, Eastern Anatolian, Central Anatolian, and Black Sea regions of Turkey. Molecular marker data were generated from 25 SRAP primer pairs and six EST-SSR primers which produced 325 alleles. Dendrogram, principal coordinate and population structure analyses revealed the relationships among Origanum sections, species and individuals. Gene flow (PhiPT and Nm) was also studied for a deeper understanding of the relationships and hybridization patterns between sections and species. Molecular separation of the Origanums roughly corresponded to the taxonomy that Ietswaart proposed in 1980 but also suggested that hybridization among sections and species may result in convergence and/or divergence of different sections and species.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 19Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Yield Components and Drought Tolerance-Related Traits in Cotton(Springer Verlag, 2018) Akköse Baytar, Asena; Peynircioğlu, Ceng; Sezener, Volkan; Başal, Hüseyin; Frary, Anne; Frary, Amy; Doğanlar, SamiDrought causes serious yield losses in cotton production throughout the world. Association mapping allows identification and localization of the genes controlling drought-related traits which will be helpful in cotton breeding. In the present study, genetic diversity analysis and association mapping of yield and drought traits were performed on a panel of 99 upland cotton genotypes using 177 SSR (simple sequence repeat) markers. Yield parameters and drought tolerance-related traits were evaluated for two seasons under two watering regimes: water-stressed and well-watered. The traits included seed cotton yield (SCY), lint yield (LY), lint percentage (LP), water-use efficiency (WUE), yield potential (YP), yield reduction (YR), yield index (YI), drought sensitivity index (DSI), stress tolerance index (STI), harmonic mean (HM), and geometric mean productivity (GMP). The genotypes with the least change in seed cotton yield under drought stress were Zeta 2, Delcerro, Nazilli 87, and DAK 66/3 which were also the most water-use efficient cultivars. The average genetic diversity of the panel was 0.38. The linkage disequilibrium decayed relatively rapidly at 20–30 cM (r 2 ≥ 0.5). We identified 30 different SSR markers associated with the traits. Fifteen and 23 SSR markers were linked to the traits under well-watered and water-stress conditions, respectively. To our knowledge, most of these quantitative yield and drought tolerance-associated loci were newly identified. The genetic diversity and association mapping results should facilitate the development of drought-tolerant cotton lines with high yield in molecular breeding programs.
