Background: Utilization of heterosis has greatly enhanced the productivity of many crops worldwide. Understanding the potential molecular mechanism about how hybridization in cotton produces superior yield is critical for efficient plant breeding. Results: With the whole-genome RNA sequencing, here, high, medium, and low hybrids varying in level of yield heterosis were screened based on different years and locations field experimentation. Phenotypically, high Department showed a mean of 14% more seed cotton yield than its better parent. A total of 63 samples comprised of different squaring stage tissues of three hybrids and four their inbred parents were used to perform transcriptomic analysis. A comparison of transcriptomic differences in each hybrid parent triad revealed a higher percentage of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in each tissue. Expression level dominance analysis exposed the majority of hybrids DEGs followed parent like expressions. Functional annotations identified an array of DEGs involved in ATP and protein binding, membrane, cell wall, mitochondrion, and protein phosphorylation. Starch and sucrose metabolism and plant hormone signal transduction pathways were most enriched in each hybrid. Further, these two pathways had most mapped DEGs on known seed cotton yield QTLs. Integration of transcriptome, QTLs, and gene co-expression network analysis raveled genes GhBZR1, GhASK8, At3g43860, GhGBSS1, GhAPL2, GhMPK4, GhPHO1, GhJAZ10, and GhCRR21 displayed a complex regulatory network of many interconnected genes. qRT-PCR of these DEGs was performed to ensure the accuracy of RNA-Seq data. Conclusions: Through genome-wide comparative transcriptome analysis, the current study provides novel insights about phenomics and genomics of heterosis in upland cotton. Our results and data resources will be useful for dissecting the molecular mechanism of yield heterosis in cotton.

“…During evolution, plants have acquired the ways in which a tremendous diversity of natural products are made . The presence of these compounds represents certain selective advantages due to their bioactivities that are vital for the functioning of the producer plants (plant physiology) (Liu et al, 2018), functions in determining species interactions (Wang and Niu, 2019;Yao et al, 2018) and in the complex interactions between plants and their abiotic environment (chemical ecology) (Shikano, 2017). Moreover, the values that natural products can be used for life-saving greatly influenced analytical and pharmaceutical chemistry (Harvey et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2020), and chemistry of traditional Chinese medicines.…”

The study on plant natural products not only helps us understand that their structural diversity is the inevitable result of plant species diversity, but also helps us understand certain rules and unity of the inevitable connection between the two. The diversity and complexity of chemical structures of many natural products are beyond imagination before we elucidated their structures. The question that follows is what is the biological significance of these natural products. Intrigued by the relationship between plant resources, natural products and biological functions, the Hao laboratory has taken an integrative approach that employs tools and knowledge from multi-disciplines, including natural product chemistry, chemical ecology and chemical biology, to unveil the effects of plant natural products on plant resistance to diseases, and environmental acclimations. Collaborating with cell biologists, the research has resulted in discovery of new mechanisms of cellular signaling and lead compounds.

Summary Extrafloral nectaries are a defence trait that plays important roles in plant–animal interactions. Gossypium species are characterized by cellular grooves in leaf midribs that secret large amounts of nectar. Here, with a panel of 215 G. arboreum accessions, we compared extrafloral nectaries to nectariless accessions to identify a region of Chr12 that showed strong differentiation and overlapped with signals from GWAS of nectaries. Fine mapping of an F2 population identified GaNEC1, encoding a PB1 domain‐containing protein, as a positive regulator of nectary formation. An InDel, encoding a five amino acid deletion, together with a nonsynonymous substitution, was predicted to cause 3D structural changes in GaNEC1 protein that could confer the nectariless phenotype. mRNA‐Seq analysis showed that JA‐related genes are up‐regulated and cell wall‐related genes are down‐regulated in the nectary. Silencing of GaNEC1 led to a smaller size of foliar nectary phenotype. Metabolomics analysis identified more than 400 metabolites in nectar, including expected saccharides and amino acids. The identification of GaNEC1 helps establish the network regulating nectary formation and nectar secretion, and has implications for understanding the production of secondary metabolites in nectar. Our results will deepen our understanding of plant–mutualism co‐evolution and interactions, and will enable utilization of a plant defence trait in cotton breeding efforts.
