Abstract

Background: Brassica napus is the third leading source of edible oil in the world. Genic male sterility (GMS) lines provide crucial material for harnessing heterosis for rapeseed. GMS lines have been used successfully for rapeseed hybrid production in China. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial regulatory roles in various plant growth, development, and stress response processes. However, reports on miRNAs that regulate the pollen development of GMS lines in B. napus are few. Results: : In this study, 12 small RNA and transcriptome libraries were constructed and sequenced for the flower buds from the fertile and sterile lines of two recessive GMS (RGMS) lines, namely, “6251AB” and “6284AB”. At the same time, 12 small RNA and transcriptome libraries were also constructed and sequenced for the flower buds from the fertile and sterile lines of two dominant GMS (DGMS) lines, namely, “4001AB” and “4006AB”. Based on the results, 46 known miRNAs, 27 novel miRNAs on the other arm of known pre-miRNAs, and 44 new conserved miRNAs were identified. Thirty-five pairs of novel miRNA-3p/miRNA-5p were found. Among all the identified miRNAs, 21 differentially expressed miRNAs with over 1.5-fold change between flower buds of sterile and fertile lines were identified, including six differentially expressed miRNAs between “4001A” and “4001B”, two differentially expressed miRNAs between “4006A” and “4006B”, six differentially expressed miRNAs between “6251A” and “6251B”, and 14 differentially expressed miRNAs between “6284A” and “6284B”. The correlation analysis of small RNA and transcriptome sequencing was conducted. The analysis results indicated that 360 genes were predicted to be the candidate targets of 21 differentially expressed miRNAs. BnaA09g48720D , BnaA09g11120D , and BnaCnng51960D were demonstrated to be cleaved by bna-miR398a-3p, bna-miR158-3p and bna-miR159a, respectively. Among the differentially expressed miRNAs, miR159 was chosen to analyze its function in reproduction development and male sterility. Overexpression of bna-miR159 in Arabidopsis resulted in decreased seed setting rate, and shortened siliques, illustrating that miR159 may regulate the fertility and silique development in rapeseed. Conclusions: : Our findings provide an overview of miRNAs that are potentially involved in GMS and pollen development. New information on miRNAs and their related target genes are provided to exploit the GMS mechanism and reveal the miRNA networks in B. napus.

Plant Molecular Biology and Genetics Plant Physiology and Morphology Brassica napus miRNAs genic male sterility pollen development miR159 silique development Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure 8 Background Male sterility is largely due to the abnormal development of either the sporophytic or gametophytic anther tissues. According to its origin or genetic analysis, male sterility can be divided into cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and genic male sterility (GMS) [ 1 ]. CMS is caused by the interaction between the mitochondrial genome and nuclear genes [ 2 , 3 ]. GMS is derived from natural mutations in nuclear genes that control stamen development. GMS mutants always show advantages, such as complete and stable male sterility and no potential negative cytoplasmic effect, compared with most CMS mutants. GMS can be further divided into dominant GMS (DGMS) and recessive GMS (RGMS). In rapeseed, DGMS and RGMS are widely used for hybrid rapeseed production [ 4 ]. Multiple-allele DGMS was generally accepted and was proposed by Song et al. in 2005. This model presented multiple alleles in one locus inheritance to explain the fertility heredity of a newly reported DGMS line 609AB. In this model, Mf , Ms , and ms are three alleles at the same locus, with a relationship of Mf dominant over Ms and Ms over ms . The recessive allele is for normal fertility. The maintainers and restorers are easily screened. Thus, multiple-allele DGMS are widely used for hybrid rapeseed seed production through the construction of a three-line hybrid system [ 5 , 6 ]. Except for the advantages of GMS, the recessive GMS (RGMS) systems have another distinct advantage in that most inbred lines can restore their fertility, so that hybrids with strong heterosis are easily bred. Several RGMS lines have been successfully commercialized in China, including S45AB [ 7 ], 117AB [ 8 ], and 9012AB [ 9 ]. For S45AB and 117AB, approximately 50% of the fertile plants are required to be artificially removed before hybridizing the rest (50% sterile ones) with restorer lines in hybrid production, because no complete maintainer line is available [ 10 , 11 ]. However, a three-line hybrid production system was developed for 9012AB [ 12 ], and this system has been well documented [ 10 , 13 ]. The RGMS line 9012AB has been used successfully for rapeseed hybrid production in China. This male sterility was previously thought to be controlled by three independent genes ( BnMs3 , BnMs4 , and BnRf ). In 2012, Dong et al. demonstrated a major modification of the sterility inheritance model in 9012A. The modified inheritance model indicated that the male sterility was essentially controlled by two loci ( BnMs3 and BnRf ). The previously designated BnMs4 locus was just one allele of BnRf ; it was then designated as BnRf a , which was designated in addition to BnRf b (the allele from 9012A) and BnRf c (the allele from temporary maintainer). The dominance relationship of the three alleles is in the following order: BnRf a > BnRf b > BnRf c . The BnRf allele-specific molecular markers were identified; these markers would simplify the breeding process involving this RGMS line [ 14 ]. Oilseed rape ( Brassica napus , 2n = 38, AACC), which has low erucic acid and glucosinolate contents, is the third leading source of edible oil worldwide. In recent years, some conserved and novel miRNAs associated with silique length [ 15 ], thickness of pod canopy [ 16 ], cadmium stress [ 17 – 19 ], flower organ development [ 20 ], seed maturation [ 21 – 22 ], cold stress [ 23 ], seed development, and oil synthesis [ 24 ] have been widely identified in rapeseed. However, little information is available about the DGMS and RGMS occurrence at the post-transcriptional level in rapeseed. In this study, to systematically explore the roles of miRNAs and their targets involved in GMS occurrence during pollen development in rapeseed, 12 small RNA and transcriptome libraries were constructed and sequenced for the flower buds from the fertile and sterile lines of two RGMS lines (“6251AB” and “6284AB”). Meanwhile, 12 small RNA and transcriptome libraries were also constructed and sequenced for the flower buds from the fertile and sterile lines of two DGMS lines (“4001AB” and “4006AB”). The aims of this study were to identify known and potential novel miRNAs from the 24 libraries and to analyze the expression profiles of the miRNAs and their targets in relation to DGMS and RGMS during rapeseed microspore development. The results would provide a foundation for evaluating the important regulatory roles of miRNAs in pollen formation and GMS occurrence in rapeseed and other crops. Results Analysis of small RNA library data sets and the small RNA profile To identify miRNAs related to DGMS and RGMS during pollen development, the flower buds were collected from the sterile (6251A, 6284A) and fertile (6251B and 6284B) lines of the RGMS lines. Meanwhile, the flower buds were also respectively collected from the sterile (4001A, 4006A) and fertile (4001B and 4006B) lines of the DGMS lines. Three biological replicates were conducted for each of the eight kinds of samples. Thus, total of 24 sRNA libraries were constructed and deep-sequenced. The raw reads of the 24 sRNA libraries ranged from 20.58 to 42.68 million (Table 1 ). The raw reads of the 24 sRNA libraries were uploaded to SRA database of NCBI and 24 accession numbers were obtained, including SRX11350295, SRX11350296, SRX11350307, SRX11350312, SRX11350313, SRX11350315, and SRX11350316 ( https://dataview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/object/PRJNA743414?reviewer=t674c02cj415380e8oldre4s5a ). After removing the low-quality reads and contaminated adapter sequences, the clean reads of the 24 sRNA libraries ranged from 19.77 to 41.61 million. The mapped reads were further annotated against the Pfam database and subsequently divided into rRNAs, tRNAs, snRNAs, snoRNAs, ta-siRNA, and others. The endogenous sRNAs were identified as known and novel miRNAs. The average sRNA lengths of the three biological replicates for each sample were calculated, which showed the length distribution patterns of the sRNAs being similar to one another. In general, the majority of the small RNAs ranged from 21 nt to 24 nt in size. The 24 nt small RNAs were the most dominant, followed by 21 nt small RNAs (Figure. 1).

Forty-six small RNAs that have the same sequences with the known bna-miRNAs in miRBase were identified. The numbers of reads of the 46 known miRNAs in 24 libraries were listed in Additional Table S1. Among the 46 known miRNAs, bna-miR159a, bna-miR166a, and bna-miR167c showed very high expression levels. To predict novel miRNAs in B. napus , all the mapped small RNAs were blasted to the B. napus genome sequence in Brassica database and known plant miRNAs in miRBase. The small RNAs that exactly map to the genome sequence but not the known plant miRNAs were classified as candidate novel miRNAs. Five criteria described in the Materials and Methods were used to search for novel miRNAs. As a result, 35 pairs of novel miRNA-3p/miRNA-5p were identified. The mature sequences, reads numbers, positions in chromosomes, precursor sequences and minimum free energy are listed in Table 2 .

If the small RNAs can match known plant miRNAs with no more than three mismatches and can exactly map to B. napus genome sequences, then these small RNAs were initially classified as candidate new conserved miRNAs. Five criteria described in the Materials and Methods were used to strictly screen the candidate conserved miRNAs. As a result, 44 miRNAs (22 pairs of miRNAs) belonging to 15 miRNA families were identified (Table 4 ). Among them, bna-miR159b was a new miRNA member of bna-miR159 family. The rest of the 36 miRNAs (14 pairs of miRNAs) have not been previously reported as bna-miRNAs in miRBase; they show high sequence similarity to some of the known plant miRNAs. The bna-miR158a.1 and bna-miR158a.2 were identified for bna-miR158a member. The two pairs of bna-miR158a shared the same mature sequences. Their precursor sequences were highly similar with each other, and these sequences were from different loci of the B. napus genome. These two pairs of miRNAs were called sub-members. This type of sub-member was also observed for bna-miR159b and bna-miR408a. Four sub-members (bna-miR159b.1, bna-miR159b.2, bna-miR159b.3, and bna-miR159b.4) were identified for bna-miR159b, and two sub-members (bna-miR408a.1 and bna-miR408a.2) were identified for bna-miR408a. This phenomenon suggests that some MIRNA genes might be produced through a replication event from one origin to another one, which results in more copies of the miRNA group. Two members were identified for bna-miR319 and bna-miR398 families. Except the above mentioned five miRNA families, the rest of 10 miRNA families had only one miRNA member (Table 4 ).

The known, identified conserved and novel miRNAs were followed to differential expression analysis criteria (qvalue 0.73). As a result, 6, 2, 6, and 14 differentially expressed miRNAs were obtained between the flower buds of “4001A” and “4001B”, “4006A” and “4006B”, “6251A” and “6251B”, and “6284A” and “6284B”, respectively (Fig. 2 , Tables 5 ). To further explore the miRNAs involved in the two DGMS lines, a Venn diagram analysis was conducted. The results indicated that two differentially expressed miRNAs were shared between the DGMS lines “4001AB” and “4006AB” (Fig. 3 A). In addition, four differentially expressed miRNAs were shared between the RGMS lines “6251AB” and “6284AB” (Fig. 3 B). The novel miRNA “bna-novel_34-5p” was the only miRNA that was simultaneously differentially expressed in the DGMS and RGMS lines.

A:fertile, B:sterile lines. qRT-PCR was conducted to verify the expression profiles of these differentially expressed miRNAs in deep sequencing. Five differentially expressed miRNAs were chosen for qRT-PCR analysis. The results were consistent with those of deep sequencing. In qRT-PCR, miR158 was up-regulated in “4001B” flower buds compared with that in “4001A”. Novel34 was greatly up-regulated in “4006B” flower buds (730-fold) compared with that in “4006A”. miR159 and miR827 were both up-regulated in “6284A” flower buds compared with that in “6284B”. miR398 was up-regulated in “6284B” flower buds compared with that in “6284A” (Fig. 4 ). Target prediction and identification of differentially expressed miRNAs in sterile and fertile lines To make clear the potential regulatory roles of differentially expressed miRNAs, a plant small RNA target analysis server psRNATarget ( http://plantgrn.noble.org/psRNATarget/ ) was performed to predict their target genes. A total of 707 transcripts were predicted to be targets of the 20 miRNAs (Additional Table S3). In addition, transcriptome sequencing was conducted using the same samples as sRNA sequencing (unpublished data). The differentially expressed and up-regulated mRNAs were predicted as the candidate targets for the differentially expressed and down-regulated miRNAs. At the same time, the differentially expressed and down-regulated mRNAs were predicted as the candidate targets for the differentially expressed and up-regulated miRNAs. As shown in Table 5 . Thirty eight candidate target genes were predicted for the six differentially expressed miRNAs between “4001A” and “4001B”. Eleven candidate genes were predicted for the two differentially expressed miRNAs between “4006A” and “4006B”. Forty-four candidate genes were predicted for the six differentially expressed miRNAs between “6251A” and “6251B”. Two hundred and sixty-seven candidate genes were predicted for the 14 differentially expressed miRNAs between “6284A” and “6284B”. To further demonstrate the potential target genes, 5’ modified RACE was performed using mixed samples from flower buds of the fertile lines (“6284B” and “4001B”). Three target genes were validated using 5’ modified RACE (Fig. 5 ). Bn.A09.CSD1 ( BnaA09g48720D ) was cleaved by bna-miR398a-3p. Bn.A09.PPR ( BnaA09g11120D ) was cleaved by bna-miR158-3p. Bn.Cnn.MYB ( BnaCnng51960D ) was cleaved by bna-miR159a. Overexpression of bna-miR159a affected seeds and siliques develpoment in Arabidopsis Among all the differentially expressed miRNAs in the two DGMS and RGMS lines, bna-miR159a had the highest expression level. Thus, bna-miR159a was chosen to analyze its function. Two vectors, namely, p35S::MIR159a-C6 and p35S::MIR159a-A7, which contained the precursor sequences of MIR159a located in C6 and A7 chromosomes of B. napus , were transformed into Arabidopsis , respectively. The corresponding Arabidopsis transgenic plants were named as MIR159OE-1 and MIR159OE-2. The expression levels of bna-miR159 and its target genes were analyzed in wild-type, MIR159OE-1, and MIR159OE-2. To reveal miR159 potential function in Arabidopsis , the expression level of miR159a was analyzed by qRT-PCR. In wild-type plants of Arabidopsis , the transcript of mature miR159a and its targets ( AtMYB33 and AtMYB65 ) were detected in root, stem, rosette leaf, stem leaf, flower, and silique through qRT-PCR. The expression level of mature miR159a was the highest in silique (5875-fold), relatively lower in stem, stem leaf, and flower compared with that in the root. The expression levels of AtMYB33 and AtMYB65 were very low and almost undetectable in silique, whereas they were relatively high in stem, stem leaf, and flower compared with that in the root (Fig. 6 ). In MIR159OE-1 and MIR159OE-2, the transcripts of mature miR159a and its targets were detected in stem leaf through qRT-PCR. The mature miR159a was overexpressed in MIR159OE-1 (4.04-fold) and MIR159OE-2 (13.6-fold) compared with that in WT. Meanwhile, the transcripts of AtMYB33 and AtMYB65 were suppressed in MIR159OE-1 and MIR159OE-2, especially in MIR159OE-2, compared with that in WT (Fig. 7 ). The morphological characters of MIR159OE-1, MIR159OE-2, and WT were observed along with their development processes, especially in the flowering and fruiting periods. No significant difference was observed between transgenic and WT plants in the vegetative growth phase. However, during the reproductive growth period, in the MIR159OE-1 and MIR159OE-2 transgenic plants, the seed setting rate decreased, and siliques became shorter compared with that in the WT (Fig. 8 ). The length of siliques from WT, MIR159OE-1, and MIR159OE-2 transgenic plants were measured. The results showed that the silique lengths of WT were approximately 13.4 mm, whereas the average silique lengths of MIR159OE-1 and MIR159OE-2 were 5.9 and 5.8 mm, respectively. The results indicated that the overexpression of MIR159 led to significantly shorter siliques and reduced seed setting rate (Fig. 8 E). Discussion MiRNAs, as the key post-transcriptional regulators, participate in various biological processes in plant. Recently, an increasing number of studies showed that plant miRNAs were also involved in pollen and fertility development. In 2014, Jiang et al. identified 54 new conserved miRNAs and 25 pairs of novel miRNA/miRNA* in a GMS system of B. campestris ssp. chinensis . Eighteen differentially expressed miRNAs with over two fold change between flower buds of male sterile and fertile lines were identified; they might be involved in the pollen development process [ 25 ]. In 2017, Ma et al. verified that the overexpression of MIR158 caused pollen abortion and reduced pollen vitality, which were caused by the degradation of pollen content from the binuclear microspore stage [ 26 ]. Dong et al. identified 85 known miRNAs and 120 novel miRNAs, which were expressed during rapeseed anther development in a novel recessive GMS system “CN12AB.” Moreover, 19 and 18 known miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed in 0.5–1.0 mm buds and in 2.5–3.0 mm buds between CN12A and CN12B, respectively. Among these, 14 miRNAs were up-regulated, and 23 miRNAs were down-regulated expressed in CN12A compared with those in CN12B [ 27 ]. In this study, to identify miRNAs and their targets involved in pollen development and GMS occurrence in rapeseed, 24 small RNA libraries and transcriptome libraries were constructed and sequenced for the flower buds from the fertile and sterile lines of two RGMS lines (“6251AB” and “6284AB”) and two DGMS lines (“4001AB” and “4006AB”). Based on the sequencing results, 21 differentially expressed miRNAs with over 1.5-fold change between flower buds of male sterile and fertile lines were identified, including six differentially expressed miRNAs between “4001A” and “4001B”, two differentially expressed miRNAs between “4006A” and “4006B”, six differentially expressed miRNAs between “6251A” and “6251B”, and 14 differentially expressed miRNAs between “6284A” and “6284B”. Among them, bna-novel_34-5p was common and differentially expressed between the fertile and sterile lines of “4001AB”, “4006AB”, “6251AB”, and “6284AB”. The results of previous studies and this study verified that miRNAs may play important regulatory roles in rapeseed pollen development and GMS occurrence. MiR159 is conserved in many plants and is involved in multiple growth and development processes of plants. Allen et al. obtained a mir159ab double mutant in Arabidopsis , which showed pleiotropic morphological defects, including altered growth habit, curled leaves, small siliques, and small seeds [ 28 ]. Millar and Gubler verified that miR159 regulated anther development by regulating the expression of its targets, such as MYB33 and MYB65 [ 29 ]. Overexpression of miR159 caused the down-regulation of MYB103 transcripts and earlier degeneration of the tapetum and aberrant pollen formation during anther development [ 30 ]. In radish, differential expression level of miR159 during anther development was observed among male sterile and maintainer lines. Increased levels of miR159 transcripts decreased the expression of MYB101 , thereby inhibiting tapetum development and exine formation [ 31 ]. Chen et al. identified 17 differentially expressed miRNAs between long and short siliques of rapeseed, including miR159. Correlation analysis of miR159 and its targets suggested that miR159 repressed cell proliferation to control silique length [ 15 ]. Hu et al. found that the overexpression of Bra- MIR159a caused pollen abortion and abnormal pollen germination [ 32 ]. In this study, the differentially expressed miR159 in “6284A” and “6284B” was chosen to analyze its function during anther development. The bna-miR159 was overexpressed in Arabidopsis and resulted in decreased seed setting rate, and shortened siliques, illustrating that miR159 may regulate the fertility and silique development of rapeseed. The results of previous reports and the results of the present study verified that miR159 and its target genes might be involved in the regulatory network of pollen development and male sterility and this module is conserved in plants. Conclusion A large number of miRNAs were identified during pollen development in the two DGMS and two RGMS lines by deep sequencing. These identified miRNAs included 27 novel miRNAs on the other arm of known pre-miRNAs, 44 new conserved miRNAs, and 35 pairs of novel miRNA-3p/miRNA-5p. Among all the identified miRNAs, 21 differentially expressed miRNAs with over 1.5-fold change between flower buds of male sterile and fertile lines were identified, including six differentially expressed miRNAs between “4001A” and “4001B”, two differentially expressed miRNAs between “4006A” and “4006B”, six differentially expressed miRNAs between “6251A” and “6251B”, and fourteen differentially expressed miRNAs between “6284A” and “6284B”. The qRT-PCR results of 5 differentially expressed miRNAs (miR158, novel34, miR159, miR827, and miR398) were consistent with deep sequencing results. The association analysis of small RNA and transcriptome sequencing was conducted, and the analysis results indicated that 360 genes were predicted to be the candidate targets of 21 differentially expressed miRNAs. The results of 5’ modified RACE verified that Bn.A09.CSD1 ( BnaA09g48720D ), Bn.A09.PPR ( BnaA09g11120D ), and Bn.Cnn.MYB ( BnaCnng51960D ) were cleaved by bna-miR398a-3p, bna-miR158-3p, and bna-miR159a. Additionally, overexpression of bna-miR159 in Arabidopsis resulted in decreased seed setting rate, and shortened siliques, illustrating that miR159 may regulate rapeseed fertility and silique development. All the results in our study would provide valuable clues for exploring miRNA-mediated regulatory networks in fertility development of GMS lines in B. napus . Methods Plant materials “6251AB” and “6284AB” are two recessive genic male sterile (RGMS) lines of B. napus . The “6251A” and “6284A” are male sterile lines and the “6251B” and “6284B” are the fertile lines. Their male sterility is controlled by two loci ( BnMs3 and BnRf ) [ 14 ]. The original source of the two RGMS lines was “9012A”, which was identified by Chen et al. [ 9 ] and Sun et al. [ 33 ]. “4001AB” and “4006AB” are two dominant genic male sterile (DGMS) lines of B. napus . The “4001A” and “4006A” are male sterile lines and the “4001B” and “4006B” are the fertile lines. Their male sterility is controlled by three alleles ( Mf , Ms , and ms ) at the same locus [ 5 ]. The original source of the two DGMS lines was “Yi3A”, which was identified by Li et al. [ 34 ]. The above RGMS lines and DGMS lines used in this study have been grown for several generations. The progenies of the two RGMS lines are both segregated into sterile and fertile types during reproduction at a ratio of 1:1. While the two DGMS lines are both segregated into sterile and fertile types at a ratio of 3:1. These plant materials were planted in the experimental farm of Zhuanghang comprehensive experimental station of Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences. During flowering stage, mixed flower buds were respectively harvested from more than ten plants of the eight lines. The eight lines were “6251A”, “6251B”, “6284A”, “6284B”, “4001A”, “4001B”, “4006A”, and “4006B”. The eight kinds of samples were quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C. Three independent biological replicates were collected for each kind of sample. Small RNA library construction and sequencing Total RNA for each kind of sample was extracted in three biological replicates using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, USA). RNA samples with an OD260/OD280 ratio of 2.0 and a total content of more than 2 µg were qualified for small RNA library construction. Then, 24 sequencing libraries (three biological replicates respectively for “6251A”, “6251B”, “6284A”, “6284B”, “4001A”, “4001B”, “4006A”, and “4006B”) were constructed using TruSeqSmall RNA Sample Preparation Kit (Illumina, USA) and then sequenced using Illumina Hiseq 2500/Miseq at Beijing Novogene Bioinformatics Technology Co. Ltd. Data analysis Clean reads were obtained by removing low-quality reads, N-containing fragments, and adapters. Then, the length of 18 to 30 nt clean reads were mapped to the B. napus genome sequence ( http://brassicadb.agridata.cn/brad/ ) using Bowtie2 with no mismatches allowed, more details were described in Niu et al [ 35 ]. Unmapped sequences were removed. The mapped small RNAs reads were aligned to known miRNAs in miRBase22.1. Modified software mirdeep2 [ 36 ] were used to predict the potential miRNAs and secondary structures. The ncRNAs includes rRNAs, tRNAs, snRNAs, snoRNAs, and small genome repeat sequences were removed. The rest of sRNA sequences were aligned to B. napus NAT-siRNAs in PlantNATsDB to remove NAT-siRNAs. Then miREvo [ 37 ] and mirdeep2 [ 36 ] were used to predict novel miRNAs in B. napus . To reveal the differentially expressed miRNAs, the miRNAs expression was analyzed using the DESeq2 [ 42 ]. The online software of Venny 2.1.0 was used ( https://bioinfogp.cnb.csic.es/tools/venny/index.html ) to draw Venn diagrams. Identification of conserved and novel miRNAs To identify conserved and novel miRNAs in B. napus , the candidate sRNAs were blasted against B. napus genome sequences. In addition, Mfold software was used to predict the secondary structures of pre-miRNAs with the flanking sequences of the small RNAs in the genome [ 43 ]. Five criteria must be met for identifying conserved and novel miRNAs [ 44 , 45 ]. The sequences and lengths, read counts, and positions in chromosome were further analyzed for conserved and novel miRNAs. qRT-PCR Total RNA was treated with DNase I (Takara, Japan) to remove residual genomic DNA. For the qRT-PCR analysis of AtMYB33 and MYB65 , AtACTIN2 gene was used as internal control. PrimeScript™ II reverse transcriptase (Takara) and oligo (dT) primers were used for first-strand cDNA synthesis. For the qRT-PCR analysis of mature miRNAs, U6 was used as internal control gene, and the first cDNA was synthetized using a miRNA First Strand cDNA Synthesis kit (Stem-loop Method) (Sangon Biotech). The qRT-PCR reactions were performed in a MyiQ2 qRT-PCR detection system (Bio-Rad, www.bio-rad.com/ ) using iQ SYBR Green supermix (Bio-Rad) [ 46 ]. Each experiment was conducted in three biological replicates, and the same sample was performed in three technical replicates. Relative expression levels of miRNAs and their target genes were quantified by using the 2 −ΔΔCt method [ 47 ]. All the primers used for qRT-PCR analysis are listed in Additional File 1: Table S4. 5’ modified RACE analysis A mixture of flower buds from the fertile lines (“6284B” and “4001B”) was used for total RNA isolation. The 5’ modified RACE was performed using a FirstChoice™ RLM-RACE Kit (Invitrogen, USA). Total RNA was directly ligated to the 5’RACE oligo. The first-strand cDNA synthesis and the two rounds of PCR reactions were conducted following the manufacturer’s instructions. The PCR products containing the target gene bands were ligated into pGEM-T Easy Vector (Promega, USA) for sequencing [ 25 ]. The primers are listed in Additional File 1: Table S4. Vector construction and plant transformation Two precursor sequences of bna-miR159a, which were located in A7 and C6 chromosomes of B. napus were designated as pre-miR159a-C6 and pre-miR159a-A7, respectively (Additional File 1: Table S5). The 411 nt and 470 nt genomic fragments containing pre-miR159a-C6 and pre-miR159a-A7 were amplified from B. napus using gene specific primers with endonuclease cleavage sites Sma I and Sal I. Then the fragments were cloned into pCAMBIA1301 binary vector with CaMV 35S promoter. The two vectors were designated as p35S::MIR159a-C6 and p35S::MIR159a-A7, which were introduced into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains GV3101 and further transformed into Arabidopsis . The corresponding Arabidopsis transgenic plants were designated as MIR159OE-1 and MIR159OE-2. The transgenic and wild-type plants were cultivated in the greenhouse under the same environment. Their phenotypes were observed and recorded. The silique length data were collected from more than three plants for each transgenic line.

According to its origin or genetic analysis, male sterility can be divided into cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and genic male sterility (GMS) [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e]. CMS is caused by the interaction between the mitochondrial genome and nuclear genes [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e]. GMS is derived from natural mutations in nuclear genes that control stamen development. GMS mutants always show advantages, such as complete and stable male sterility and no potential negative cytoplasmic effect, compared with most CMS mutants. GMS can be further divided into dominant GMS (DGMS) and recessive GMS (RGMS). In rapeseed, DGMS and RGMS are widely used for hybrid rapeseed production [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e]. Multiple-allele DGMS was generally accepted and was proposed by Song et al. in 2005. This model presented multiple alleles in one locus inheritance to explain the fertility heredity of a newly reported DGMS line 609AB. In this model, \u003cem\u003eMf\u003c/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMs\u003c/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003ems\u003c/em\u003e are three alleles at the same locus, with a relationship of \u003cem\u003eMf\u003c/em\u003e dominant over \u003cem\u003eMs\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMs\u003c/em\u003e over \u003cem\u003ems\u003c/em\u003e. The recessive allele is for normal fertility. The maintainers and restorers are easily screened. Thus, multiple-allele DGMS are widely used for hybrid rapeseed seed production through the construction of a three-line hybrid system [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExcept for the advantages of GMS, the recessive GMS (RGMS) systems have another distinct advantage in that most inbred lines can restore their fertility, so that hybrids with strong heterosis are easily bred. Several RGMS lines have been successfully commercialized in China, including S45AB [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e], 117AB [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e], and 9012AB [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e]. For S45AB and 117AB, approximately 50% of the fertile plants are required to be artificially removed before hybridizing the rest (50% sterile ones) with restorer lines in hybrid production, because no complete maintainer line is available [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e11\u003c/span\u003e]. However, a three-line hybrid production system was developed for 9012AB [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e12\u003c/span\u003e], and this system has been well documented [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e13\u003c/span\u003e]. The RGMS line 9012AB has been used successfully for rapeseed hybrid production in China. This male sterility was previously thought to be controlled by three independent genes (\u003cem\u003eBnMs3\u003c/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBnMs4\u003c/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eBnRf\u003c/em\u003e). In 2012, Dong et al. demonstrated a major modification of the sterility inheritance model in 9012A. The modified inheritance model indicated that the male sterility was essentially controlled by two loci (\u003cem\u003eBnMs3\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBnRf\u003c/em\u003e). The previously designated \u003cem\u003eBnMs4\u003c/em\u003e locus was just one allele of \u003cem\u003eBnRf\u003c/em\u003e; it was then designated as \u003cem\u003eBnRf\u003c/em\u003e\u003csup\u003e\u003cem\u003ea\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e, which was designated in addition to \u003cem\u003eBnRf\u003c/em\u003e\u003csup\u003e\u003cem\u003eb\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e (the allele from 9012A) and \u003cem\u003eBnRf\u003c/em\u003e\u003csup\u003e\u003cem\u003ec\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e (the allele from temporary maintainer). The dominance relationship of the three alleles is in the following order: \u003cem\u003eBnRf\u003c/em\u003e\u003csup\u003e\u003cem\u003ea\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e\u0026gt;\u003cem\u003eBnRf\u003c/em\u003e\u003csup\u003e\u003cem\u003eb\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e\u0026gt;\u003cem\u003eBnRf\u003c/em\u003e\u003csup\u003e\u003cem\u003ec\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e.

The aims of this study were to identify known and potential novel miRNAs from the 24 libraries and to analyze the expression profiles of the miRNAs and their targets in relation to DGMS and RGMS during rapeseed microspore development. The results would provide a foundation for evaluating the important regulatory roles of miRNAs in pollen formation and GMS occurrence in rapeseed and other crops.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Results","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"Section2\" id=\"Sec3\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalysis of small RNA library data sets and the small RNA profile\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eTo identify miRNAs related to DGMS and RGMS during pollen development, the flower buds were collected from the sterile (6251A, 6284A) and fertile (6251B and 6284B) lines of the RGMS lines. Meanwhile, the flower buds were also respectively collected from the sterile (4001A, 4006A) and fertile (4001B and 4006B) lines of the DGMS lines. Three biological replicates were conducted for each of the eight kinds of samples. Thus, total of 24 sRNA libraries were constructed and deep-sequenced. The raw reads of the 24 sRNA libraries ranged from 20.58 to 42.68 million (Table \u003cspan class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e). The raw reads of the 24 sRNA libraries were uploaded to SRA database of NCBI and 24 accession numbers were obtained, including SRX11350295, SRX11350296, SRX11350307, SRX11350312, SRX11350313, SRX11350315, and SRX11350316 (\u003cspan class=\"ExternalRef\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"RefSource\"\u003ehttps://dataview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/object/PRJNA743414?reviewer=t674c02cj415380e8oldre4s5a\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e). After removing the low-quality reads and contaminated adapter sequences, the clean reads of the 24 sRNA libraries ranged from 19.77 to 41.61 million. The mapped reads were further annotated against the Pfam database and subsequently divided into rRNAs, tRNAs, snRNAs, snoRNAs, ta-siRNA, and others. The endogenous sRNAs were identified as known and novel miRNAs. The average sRNA lengths of the three biological replicates for each sample were calculated, which showed the length distribution patterns of the sRNAs being similar to one another. In general, the majority of the small RNAs ranged from 21 nt to 24 nt in size.

Forty-six small RNAs that have the same sequences with the known bna-miRNAs in miRBase were identified. The numbers of reads of the 46 known miRNAs in 24 libraries were listed in Additional Table S1.

The small RNAs that exactly map to the genome sequence but not the known plant miRNAs were classified as candidate novel miRNAs. Five criteria described in the Materials and Methods were used to search for novel miRNAs. As a result, 35 pairs of novel miRNA-3p/miRNA-5p were identified. The mature sequences, reads numbers, positions in chromosomes, precursor sequences and minimum free energy are listed in Table \u003cspan class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e. The length distribution of the novel miRNAs was between 18 nt to 26 nt. The length of the novel miRNA precursors ranged from 51 nt to 300 nt with an average length of 154 nt.

napus\u003c/em\u003e, all mapped small RNAs were mapped to known plant miRNAs in miRBase and \u003cem\u003eB. napus\u003c/em\u003e genome sequences. If the small RNAs can match known plant miRNAs with no more than three mismatches and can exactly map to \u003cem\u003eB. napus\u003c/em\u003e genome sequences, then these small RNAs were initially classified as candidate new conserved miRNAs. Five criteria described in the Materials and Methods were used to strictly screen the candidate conserved miRNAs. As a result, 44 miRNAs (22 pairs of miRNAs) belonging to 15 miRNA families were identified (Table \u003cspan class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e). Among them, bna-miR159b was a new miRNA member of bna-miR159 family. The rest of the 36 miRNAs (14 pairs of miRNAs) have not been previously reported as bna-miRNAs in miRBase; they show high sequence similarity to some of the known plant miRNAs. The bna-miR158a.1 and bna-miR158a.2 were identified for bna-miR158a member. The two pairs of bna-miR158a shared the same mature sequences. Their precursor sequences were highly similar with each other, and these sequences were from different loci of the \u003cem\u003eB. napus\u003c/em\u003e genome. These two pairs of miRNAs were called sub-members. This type of sub-member was also observed for bna-miR159b and bna-miR408a. Four sub-members (bna-miR159b.1, bna-miR159b.2, bna-miR159b.3, and bna-miR159b.4) were identified for bna-miR159b, and two sub-members (bna-miR408a.1 and bna-miR408a.2) were identified for bna-miR408a. This phenomenon suggests that some \u003cem\u003eMIRNA\u003c/em\u003e genes might be produced through a replication event from one origin to another one, which results in more copies of the miRNA group. Two members were identified for bna-miR319 and bna-miR398 families. Except the above mentioned five miRNA families, the rest of 10 miRNA families had only one miRNA member (Table \u003cspan class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e).\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n

miRNAs were used for identifying differentially expressed miRNAs between the sterile line and the corresponding fertile line, such as \u0026ldquo;4001A\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;4001B\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;4006A\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;4006B\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;6251A\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;6251B\u0026rdquo;, and \u0026ldquo;6284A\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;6284B\u0026rdquo;. The known, identified conserved and novel miRNAs were followed to differential expression analysis criteria (qvalue\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.01 and |log2 (fold change)| \u0026gt; 0.73). As a result, 6, 2, 6, and 14 differentially expressed miRNAs were obtained between the flower buds of \u0026ldquo;4001A\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;4001B\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;4006A\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;4006B\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;6251A\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;6251B\u0026rdquo;, and \u0026ldquo;6284A\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;6284B\u0026rdquo;, respectively (Fig. \u003cspan class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e, Tables \u003cspan class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e). To further explore the miRNAs involved in the two DGMS lines, a Venn diagram analysis was conducted. The results indicated that two differentially expressed miRNAs were shared between the DGMS lines \u0026ldquo;4001AB\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;4006AB\u0026rdquo; (Fig. \u003cspan class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003eA). In addition, four differentially expressed miRNAs were shared between the RGMS lines \u0026ldquo;6251AB\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;6284AB\u0026rdquo; (Fig. \u003cspan class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003eB). The novel miRNA \u0026ldquo;bna-novel_34-5p\u0026rdquo; was the only miRNA that was simultaneously differentially expressed in the DGMS and RGMS lines.\u003c/p\u003e\n

Genic male sterility (GMS) lines provide crucial material for harnessing heterosis for rapeseed. GMS lines have been used successfully for rapeseed hybrid production in China. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial regulatory roles in various plant growth, development, and stress response processes. However, reports on miRNAs that regulate the pollen development of GMS lines in \u003cem\u003eB. napus \u003c/em\u003eare few.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResults: \u003c/strong\u003eIn this study, 12 small RNA and transcriptome libraries were constructed and sequenced for the flower buds from the fertile and sterile lines of two recessive GMS (RGMS) lines, namely, “6251AB” and “6284AB”. At the same time, 12 small RNA and transcriptome libraries were also constructed and sequenced for the flower buds from the fertile and sterile lines of two dominant GMS (DGMS) lines, namely, “4001AB” and “4006AB”. Based on the results, 46 known miRNAs, 27 novel miRNAs on the other arm of known pre-miRNAs, and 44 new conserved miRNAs were identified. Thirty-five pairs of novel miRNA-3p/miRNA-5p were found. Among all the identified miRNAs, 21 differentially expressed miRNAs with over 1.5-fold change between flower buds of sterile and fertile lines were identified, including six differentially expressed miRNAs between “4001A” and “4001B”, two differentially expressed miRNAs between “4006A” and “4006B”, six differentially expressed miRNAs between “6251A” and “6251B”, and 14 differentially expressed miRNAs between “6284A” and “6284B”. The correlation analysis of small RNA and transcriptome sequencing was conducted. The analysis results indicated that 360 genes were predicted to be the candidate targets of 21 differentially expressed miRNAs. \u003cem\u003eBnaA09g48720D\u003c/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBnaA09g11120D\u003c/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eBnaCnng51960D\u003c/em\u003e were demonstrated to be cleaved by bna-miR398a-3p, bna-miR158-3p and bna-miR159a, respectively. Among the differentially expressed miRNAs, miR159 was chosen to analyze its function in reproduction development and male sterility. Overexpression of bna-miR159 in \u003cem\u003eArabidopsis\u003c/em\u003e resulted in decreased seed setting rate, and shortened siliques, illustrating that miR159 may regulate the fertility and silique development in rapeseed.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConclusions: \u003c/strong\u003eOur findings provide an overview of miRNAs that are potentially involved in GMS and pollen development.
