| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Papaya (Carica papaya) is a trioecious plant species, and its sex types were determined by sex chromosomes (X, Y, Yh). In the present study, genome sequences of Y and Yh chromosomes were analyzed and their structural differences were identified. Consequently, only a SVP-like gene, harbouring MADS-box domain, showed apparent structural difference between Y and Yh chromosomes. In its allele on the Yh chromosome, a transposon was inserted and 5' region was truncated in its transcript, resulting in loss of MADS-box domain in its encoded protein. RT-PCR analysis and transient expression study in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves demonstrated that expression product from its allele in Yh chromosome was possibly unstable. Therefore, this SVP-like gene was supposed to be a candidate gene for male/hermaphrodite determination in papaya. Additionally, RNA-seq analysis of X chromosomal genes showed possibility of gene dosage compensation between female and hermaphrodite.
