摘要: Inbreeding depression is widespread across plant and animal kingdoms and may arise from the exposure of deleterious alleles and/or loss of overdominant alleles resulting from increased homozygosity, but these genetic models cannot fully explain the phenomenon. Here, we report epigenetic links to inbreeding depression in maize. Teosinte branched1/cycloidea/proliferating cell factor (TCP) transcription factors control plant development. During successive inbreeding among inbred lines, thousands of genomic regions across TCP-binding sites (TBS) are hypermethylated through the H3K9me2-mediated pathway. These hypermethylated regions are accompanied by decreased chromatin accessibility, increased levels of the repressive histone marks H3K27me2 and H3K27me3, and reduced binding affinity of maize TCP-proteins to TBS. Consequently, hundreds of TCP-target genes involved in mitochondrion, chloroplast, and ribosome functions are down-regulated, leading to reduced growth vigor. Conversely, random mating can reverse corresponding hypermethylation sites and TCP-target gene expression, restoring growth vigor. These results support a unique role of reversible epigenetic modifications in inbreeding depression.
