摘要: BackgroundInter-subspecific hybrid rice represents a significant breakthrough in agricultural genetics, offering higher yields and better resilience to various environmental stresses. While the utilization of these hybrids has shed light on the genetic processes underlying hybridization, understanding the molecular mechanisms driving heterosis remains a complex and ongoing challenge. Here, chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) was used to analyze genome-wide profiles of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 modifications in the inter-subspecific hybrid rice ZY19 and its parents, Z04A and ZHF1015, then combined them with the transcriptome and DNA methylation data to uncover the effects of histone modifications on gene expression and the contribution of epigenetic modifications to heterosis.ResultsIn the hybrid, there were 8,126 and 1,610 different peaks for H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 modifications when compared to its parents, respectively, with the majority of them originating from the parental lines. The different modifications between the hybrid and its parents were more frequently observed as higher levels in the hybrid than in the parents. In ZY19, there were 476 and 84 allele-specific genes with H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 modifications identified, representing 7.9% and 12% of the total analyzed genes, respectively. Only a small portion of genes that showed differences in parental H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 modifications which demonstrated allele-specific histone modifications (ASHM) in the hybrid. The H3K4me3 modification level in the hybrid was significantly lower compared to the parents. In the hybrid, DNA methylation occurs more frequently among histone modification target genes. Additionally, over 62.58% of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were affected by epigenetic variations. Notably, there was a strong correlation observed between variations in H3K4me3 modifications and gene expression levels in the hybrid and its parents.ConclusionThese findings highlight the substantial impact of histone modifications and DNA methylation on gene expression during hybridization. Epigenetic variations play a crucial role in controlling the differential expression of genes, with potential implications for heterosis.
