研究開始時の研究の概要 |
This research uses stress tolerant mangrove trees as experimental model to study the role of epigenetic changes in responses to environmental stresses that are predicted by climate change. This proposed research will pair ecological methods in natural environments with genomic and epigenomic approaches in laboratories to provide comprehensive understandings of gene functions and adaptations of plants under stress. Additionally, it investigates whether and how epigenetic modification of the genome allow plants to respond to environmental stress.

研究実績の概要 |
Since the beginning of my Kakenhi project (Apr. 2023) I have successfully extracted the DNA from 2 other mangrove species (Rhizopphora stylosa, Kandelia obovata) and sequenced the genome, using PacBio-Hifi long read sequencing. I then de-novo assembled and annotated the genome. As for Hi-C sequencing, the 3 species of mangroves (Bruguiera gymnorhiza, Rhizopphora stylosa, Kandelia obovata) are being processed and library preparation is under preparation. These annotated genomes are the prerequisite of the downstream epigenetic analyses. In order to study the epigenetic stress memory, I have also done the DNA extraction and whole genome EM-seq sequencing for 96 samples (48 from Bruguiera gymnorhiza) and (48 from kandelia obovata). I have analyzed the data for the 48 samples from B. gymnorhiza and the results are very exciting. I also have extracted the RNA from the same samples and have sequenced them.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
Next I will analyze the data to investigate the association between expression of the genes and methylated regions of DNA.
