How Can We Make Genomic Epidemiology a Widespread Reality? - William HsiaoWilliam Hsiao
The document discusses genomic epidemiology and the requirements to bring genomic sequencing into routine public health practice. It outlines two parts: (1) what genomic epidemiology is and why it is important; and (2) the requirements for genomic sequencing to be used routinely in public health. Whole genome sequencing is seen as a way to generate high quality pathogen genomes quickly and allow for more detailed tracking of disease spread compared to traditional methods. However, bringing genomic sequencing into public health practice requires overcoming barriers such as the need for user-friendly analysis platforms, training public health personnel in genomics, and improving information sharing between organizations.

Enhancing rice blast resistance via
CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing
Rice blast is one of the most destructive diseases affecting rice
worldwide. The adoption of host resistance has proven to be the
most economical and effective approach to control rice blast.
In recent years, sequence-specific nucleases (SSNs) have been
demonstrated to be powerful tools for genetic improvement of
crops via gene-specific genome editing. I will talk about our
efforts for improvement of rice blast resistance by engineering
SSNs targeting the OsERF922 gene in rice. Our results indicate
that genome editing via CRISPR/Cas9 is a useful approach for
enhancing blast resistance in rice.

Effect of ACC-deaminase producing
endophytic Streptomyces sp. GMKU
336 towards salt stress in rice plants
• Endophytic actinomycetes improve plant health under salt stress
by the action of 1-aminocyclopropane-1- carboxylic acid (ACC)
deaminase which converses ACC, a precursor of ethylene in plant,
into ammonia and α-ketobutyrate.
• ACC-deaminase deficient Streptomyces sp. GMKU 336 was
constructed. Inoculation of wild type and mutant into Oryza sativa
L. cv. KDML105 revealed that strain GMKU 336 could promote rice
growth and salt tolerant, while the mutant could not.
• Transcription profiles of genes involved in salt stress of KDML 105
when inoculated with strain GMKU 336 under salt stress condition
presented less expression of genes involved in ethylene such
as ACO1 and EREBP1; while genes involved in Ca2+ signalling,
camodulin, Na+ transporter and osmotic balance were up-regulated
when compared with uninoculated and mutant inoculated plants.

Synthetic biology of plant specialized
metabolism using NGS information of
non-model medicinal plants
Synthetic biology is powerful strategy to reconstruct biosynthetic
pathways when molecular tools are available. Here, we report
the potentials of this strategy as a case study in isoquinoline
alkaloid biosynthesis. So far, we have characterized biosynthetic
enzyme genes of specialized metabolism using a combination of
transcriptome and metabolome. However, when we had established
a microbial platform to synthesize specialized metabolites, such
as isoquinoline alkaloids, from simple substrate, and also obtained
deep RNA and draft genome sequences of medicinal plants using
NGS, we started to adapt a new synthetic biological approach. That
is, candidate biosynthetic enzymes such as O-methyltransferases
and P450s were expressed in microbial cells to characterize the
biosynthetic activity in an in-vitro pathway-reconstruction system.
Successful identification of several biosynthetic enzyme genes and
production of some metabolites will be discussed.

DNA Sequencing, does length matter?
Next generation DNA sequencing has
revolutionised biology. Draft genome assemblies
are being produced for a diverse range of species,
with many recent genome assemblies being produced using data
the common short read Illumina sequencing platform. While long
read sequencing has been around for a few years, the low accuracy
of these platforms has limited their practical application. Recent
advances have seen an increase in the use of long read sequencing
for genome assembly, competing with advanced algorithms for the
assembly of large insert short read data. With the rapid changes
in sequencing technology, researchers need to make decisions as
to which is the best tool to ask their biological questions. In this
presentation, I will outline the recent changes in DNA sequencing
and comment on approaches for the application of this data.

Oil palm and Jatropha curcas are two of the most productive tree crops
for oil. The development of reliable genetic engineering (GM) methods
based on Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of somatic
embryogenic calli will be presented for both plants. Jatropha curcas is an
emerging biofuel plant that can utilize marginal land. However, high male
to female flower ratio and relatively low seed productivity are amongst
the factors limiting its large-scale commercialization. We will present our
success in improving the production of female flowers and total seed
yield by the transgenic approach. In addition, we will present our success
and current problems in using endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacteria for
improving the production of biomass and seeds in various plants, including
oil palm, Jatropha and eucalyptus.

Phenome analysis of natural genetic
variations with Arabidopsis ecotypes and
rice cultivars: Visualization of different
nutrient uptake ability
Uptake and utilization of plant nutrients are essential processes to
maintain vegetative growth and reproduction in plants, and thereby
efficiencies of uptake and utilization of nutrients severely influence
plant biomass and crop yields. I introduce our new phenome analysis in
which we visualize the nutrient uptake efficiency that are genetically and
differentially prescribed in distinct Arabidopsis ecotypes and rice cultivars.
I will also talk about the molecular mechanism controlling utilization of
nitrogen, one of the most important micronutrients of plants, and discuss

Recruitment of cytochrome P450 enzymes
for flavone biosynthesis in rice
Flavones are flavonoids found extensively in land plants
with important physiological functions like UV protection, interactions with
other organisms, co-pigmentation in flowers, etc. They are increasingly
popular as dietary constituents or supplements due to their health-beneficial
properties. In grasses, flavones are predominantly accumulated as C- or
O-linked conjugates in vegetative tissues. The enzymology of flavone
biosynthesis remained largely elusive until recent years. Our recent work
demonstrated the involvement of distinct rice cytochrome P450 enzymes for
the biosynthesis pathways of flavone C- and O-linked conjugates. We further
revealed the modification of lignin compositions in our flavone mutants.
These novel P450 enzymes are highly conserved among grass genomes.
They represent good targets to engineer flavones in edible tissues and
modify lignin for enhanced biomass utilization.

Setaria viridis: accelerating gene discovery in panicoid crops
Setaria viridis is an emerging model system for gene discovery in panicoid grasses. With a sequenced reference genome of 510 Mb,
a sequenced diversity panel of over 500 accessions and a large NMU-mutagenized population, we have established a core set of materials for genetic
analysis. We have also optimized transformation technologies and are utilizing the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system to precisely engineer the
genome. Here I will demonstrate the use of S. viridis as a model to accelerate gene discovery of inflorescence architecture traits in maize, dissect the C4
photosynthetic pathway and to define components of the Jasmonic Acid signaling. As the panicoid grasses include some of the world’s most important
food, feed and bioenergy grasses, S. viridis is well placed to enhance our fundamental understanding of several agronomically important traits.

Precise genome engineering for maize
crop improvement
Maize is an important food and feed crop in major
agricultural production regions. Maize has benefitted greatly from genetic
improvement through application of modern breeding technologies
including transgenic modifications. Several important traits such as insect
resistance and herbicide tolerance have been engineered through the use
of transgenes. In recent years there have been major breakthroughs in
the development of programmable nuclease technologies including zinc
finger nuclease (ZFN), engineered meganuclease (eMN), Transcriptional
Activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN) and RNA guided-CAS9 nuclease
(i.e. the CRISPR system). The availability of these new tools has made it
more direct to understand the molecular mechanism of various traits and
also makes genetic improvement of crop genomes more precise. We have
used maize plant as a model to develop platform technologies for trait
gene lead discovery and crop improvement. This presentation introduces
platform capabilities that we have established for maize genome editing
applications, including targeted gene knockout, allele replacement and
targeted insertion of transgene stacks.

Genomics and transcriptomics analysis of
an oil-rice orphan cereal
Eccoilopus formosanus (Taiwan Oil Millet, TOM)
is an orphan cereal endemic to Taiwan. It is a
perennial C4 species, remarkable in that it secretes large quantities
of oil and/or liquid wax on the panicle and copious amounts of solid
wax on the leaf sheaths of a substantial vegetative biomass. We
analysed their oil/wax production using metabolimics approach. We
also studied the enzymes/pathways responsible for the high oil/wax
production by genomics and transcriptomics analysis.

Dissecting the molecular genetic basis of
shade avoidance response in Arabidopsis
and Maize
Increasing the planting densities has been used as an effective approach
for increasing crop yield per unit land area. However, plants compete with
neighboring vegetation for light when planting at high densities, triggering
a series of responses known collectively as shade avoidance syndrome
(SAS), which negatively impact on plant’s fitness, disease resistance, and
yield. Our preliminary studies suggested that phytochorme B (phyB)-
mediated light signaling pathway interacts the miR156/SPL pathway to
regulate different aspects of SAS in both Arabidopsis and maize. Current
undergoing work is to dissect the detailed molecular mechanisms by
which phyB regulates SAS through the PIF-miR156-SPL genetic pathway
in both Arabidopsis and maize. Our results may facilitate the breeding of
shade-tolerant maize by attenuation or refinement of SAS in maize.

Understanding the enemy in the ongoing
battle against plant rusts
The genetic improvement of cereals over the past 8,000 years or so
has guided the evolution of pathogens such as the rusts, leading to
devastating epidemics and huge yield losses. The rust pathogens are
obligate biotrophs, having evolved a very close relationship with their
hosts. Rust genomes sequenced to date have shown that they are
larger than most other fungi due to an expansion of repetitive elements
and genes involved in processes such as host wall modification,
transport and antioxidant defence. There is evidence of gene loss in
certain metabolic pathways such as sulphate assimilation, which could
explain why these fungi grow so poorly on artificial media. A significant
amount of research is being targeted at present to the identification of
small secreted effector proteins, which are believed to be recognized
by the host in the triggering of resistance.

Arabidopsis circadian and light-dark
cycles orchestrate defense responses via
antagonistic transcription factors
Developmental adaptation to dynamic environment is vital for plant
survival. The endogenous circadian and external day-night cycles are major
components shaping plant responses to external stimuli. Thousands of
environmental response genes display oscillatory expression over periods
of approximately 24-hour, but how this large-scale rhythmic expression
is synchronized by the light and circadian signaling networks, and how
the rhythmic expression of stress response genes contribute to modulate
plant developmental responses to environments, are not well understood.
Here, by systematically integrating hundreds of multi-omics datasets, we
were able to generalize the basic principles underlying the synchronized
effects of the endogenous circadian and external day-night cycles on the
transcriptional control of the stress response genes on a global level.

miR172c fine-tunes nodulation in soybean
Legume-rhizobia symbiotic nitrogen fixation is a
fundamental biological question and an important
agricultural trait in legumes. However, the molecular
mechanisms underlying nodulation including rhizobia-plant cell
interaction, nodule organogenesis and nitrogen fixation efficiency of
mature nodules in legumes remain largely unknown. Recently, we found
that miR172c, a small noncoding RNA, play a central role in fine tuning
nodule number through its target gene, an AP2/ERF transcription factor
NNC1 in soybean. miR172c-NNC1 module activates nodulation through
targeting GmENOD40 and controls ultimate nodule number by targeting
RIC1/2 that activate autoregulation. Thus, we identify a key molecular
module in soybean nodule number control that can be a potential target
for genetic improvement of nitrogen fixation efficiency and reveal the
miR172-based regulatory mechanism that is pivotal for legume nodulation.

Divergent evolution of multiple virus-
resistance genes from a progenitor in
Capsicum spp
• We cloned Pvr4 (a Potyvirus resistance gene in Capsicum annuum) and
Tsw (a Tomato spotted wilt virus resistance gene in C. chinense) by a
genome-based approach. The genes both encode typical NLRs and are
located at the same locus on pepper chromosome 10.
• Despite the fact that these two genes recognize completely different viral
effectors, the genomic structures and coding sequences of the two genes
are strikingly similar. Phylogenetic studies revealed that these two immune
receptors diverged from a progenitor gene of a common ancestor.
• Our results suggest that sequence variations caused by gene duplication
and neo-functionalization may underlie the evolution of the ability to
specifically recognize different effectors. These findings thereby provide
insight into the divergent evolution of plant immune receptors.

Understanding the plant response to
cesium and potassium using metabolomics
profiling and chemical screening
Potassium is an essential macronutrient, but cesium has no nutritional
value for plants. However plants absorb and accumulate certain levels
of cesium. Cesium and potassium share similar chemical properties,
and it is known that cesium accumulation in plants through potassium
uptake system. However how plants respond to potassium and cesium
and regulate their movements remains unknown. Metabolic profiling was
performed for understanding plant responses to potassium and cesium.
The level of many amino acids including cysteine were increased by cesium
treatment. Cysteine and a chemical which was identified from the chemical
screening, a derivative of cysteine, play the positive roles for cesium
accumulation in plants. In this presentation, plant responses to cesium and
potassium will be discussed focusing on the alteration of metabolites.

Exploiting novel genetic variation in oil
palm and its commercial use
We have completed a GWAS study of 7,000 palms
using a 200k SNP chip and identified QTL markers
for yield such as oil to dry mesocarp (ODM), fresh fruit bunch weight
(FFB) and bunch number (BNO). A modified Genomic Selection
approach using a 1k SNP panel optimized for oil yield identified high
yielding palms for commercial planting. Interestingly, a significant
number of these SNP’s did not correspond to key variants in yield
trait loci such as ODM, BNO or FFB. This implies that breeding
progress can be made through the selection of loci outside traditional
yield QTLs, associated with global changes in amino acids, energy
and sugar metabolites that are indicative of new key source-drivers
for genetic progress in these populations.

Cold tolerant Brassica napus expressing
Acyl-Co A-binding protein
Canola (Brassica napus) is important in winter crop rotation in
Australia. Frost is an abiotic stress that causes abortion of open flowers
or death of developing seeds resulting in poor pod fill or low oil yield.
An Arabidopsis Acyl-Co A-binding protein (ACBP6) encoding gene
has been identified as a source for frost tolerance. Agrobacterium-
mediated transformation was used to transfer the ACBP6 gene into
various B. napus genomes. Freezing bioassays at -4oC, showed that
T3 transgenic plants had low leaf electrolyte leakage and maintained
percent living tissue of the cotyledons of developing seeds.

The genome of allopolyploid Brassica juncea uncovers homoeolog gene expression influencing selection
We assembled the genome of an allopolyploid, B. juncea var. tumida, by de novo assembly using shotgun reads, single-molecule
long reads (PacBio), genome mapping (BioNano) and genetic mapping, serving to resolve complicated allopolyploid genomes.
Genomic basis indicated a monophyletic origin and its evolution into vegetable- and oil-use subvarieties for A-subgenomes of B.
juncea. The vegetable-use (Root-type) accessions, widely distributed in China, were first diverged within B. juncea species, implying that China was
the primary center of origin and diversity.
Differential homoeolog gene expression between subgenomes of allopolyploid B. juncea has facilitated selection of glucosinolate and lipid
metabolism genes in vegetable- and oil-use sub-varieties. This observation implies that transcriptional dominance can predate trait selection.
