Background:The conversion from non-embryogenic callus (NEC) to embryogenic callus (EC) is the key bottleneck step in regeneration of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum),and hinders the transgenic breeding of upland cotton.To investigate molecular mechanisms underlying acquisition of embryogenic potential during this process,comparation analysis of transcriptome dynamics between two upland cotton cultivars with different somatic embryogenesis abilities was conducted.Results:Differentially expressed genes involved in the transformation from NEC to EC were detected in the two different cultivars.Principal component analysis based on DEGs showed that the NEC tissues of the two cultivars were highly heterogeneous,whereas the derived EC tissues were similar,which suggested the homogeneousness of EC between different lines.In the highly embryogenic cultivar CCRI 24,more of these genes were down-regulated,whereas,in the recalcitrant cultivar CCRI 12,more were up-regulated.Bioinformatics analysis on these DEGs showed that the vast majority of differentially expressed genes were enriched in metabolism and secondary metabolites biosynthesis pathways.Flavonoid biosynthesis and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathways were enriched in both cultivars,and the associated genes were down-regulated more in CCRI 24 than in CCRI 12.We deduced that vigorous secondary metabolism in CCRI 12 may hinder primary metabolism,resulting in tardiness of cell differentiation.Interestingly,genes involved in the plant hormone signal transduction pathway were enriched in the recalcitrant cultivar CCRI 12.but not in CCRI 24,suggesting more radical regulation of hormone signal transduction in the recalcitrant cultivar.Signal transduction rather than biosynthesis of plant hormones is more likely to be the determining factor triggering NEC to EC transition in recalcitrant cotton lines.Transcription factor encoding genes showed differential regulation between two cultivars.Conclusions:Our study provides valuable information about the molecular mechanism of conversion from NEC to EC in cotton and allows for identification of novel genes involved.By comparing transcriptome changes in transformation from NEC to EC between the two cultivars,we identified 46 transcripts that may contribute to initiating embryogenic shift.
