Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is widely used in hybrid seed production. This study investigated the physiological, DNA methylation, and transcriptome differences between a kenaf CMS line and its maintainer line. The results revealed significant differences in hormone levels, photosynthetic products, and ATP contents between the CMS and maintainer lines. The analysis also identified differentially methylated genes and differentially expressed genes that play important roles in carbon metabolism, plant hormone signal transduction, and other pathways. This study provides new insights into the epigenetic mechanism of CMS in kenaf and other crops.
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is widely exploited in hybrid seed production. Kenaf is an important fiber crop with high heterosis. The molecular mechanism of kenaf CMS remains unclear, particularly in terms of DNA methylation. Here, using the anthers of a kenaf CMS line (P3A) and its maintainer line (P3B), comparative physiological, DNA methylation, and transcriptome analyses were performed. The results showed that P3A had considerably lower levels of IAA, ABA, photosynthetic products and ATP contents than P3B. DNA methylome analysis revealed 650 differentially methylated genes (DMGs) with 313 up- and 337 down methylated, and transcriptome analysis revealed 1788 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with 558 up- and 1230 downregulated genes in P3A compared with P3B. Moreover, 45 genes were characterized as both DEGs and DMGs, including AUX, CYP, BGL3B, SUS6, AGL30 and MYB21. Many DEGs may be regulated by related DMGs based on methylome and transcriptome studies. These DEGs were involved in carbon metabolism, plant hormone signal transduction, the TCA cycle and the MAPK signaling pathway and were shown to be important for CMS in kenaf. These results provide new insights into the epigenetic mechanism of CMS in kenaf and other crops.
