Abstract	The vaginal microbiome plays an important role in women’s health and disease. Here we reanalyzed 40 vaginal transcriptomes from a previous study of de novo assembly (metaT-Assembly) followed by functional annotation. We identified 286,293 contigs and further assigned them to 25 phyla, 209 genera, and 339 species. Lactobacillus iners and Lactobacillus crispatus dominated the microbiome of non-bacterial vaginosis (BV) samples, while a complex of microbiota was identified from BV-associated samples. The metaT-Assembly identified a higher number of bacterial species than the 16S rRNA amplicon and metaT-Kraken methods. However, metaT-Assembly and metaT-Kraken exhibited similar major bacterial composition at the species level. Binning of metatranscriptome data resulted in 176 bins from major known bacteria and several unidentified bacteria in the vagina. Functional analyses based on Clusters of Orthologous Genes (COGs) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways suggested that a higher number of transcripts were expressed by the microbiome complex in the BV-associated samples than in non-BV-associated samples. The KEGG pathway analysis with an individual bacterial genome identified specific functions of the identified bacterial genome. Taken together, we demonstrated that the metaT-Assembly approach is an efficient tool to understand the dynamic microbial communities and their functional roles associated with the human vagina.

Abstract	Background Plums are a kind of stone fruit, a category that includes peaches, cherries, apricots, and almonds. In Korea, Japanese plum trees are usually cultivated as they best suit the climate. To date, there have been few studies in Korea on viruses infecting plum trees compared to those infecting peach trees. Methods To identify viruses and viroids infecting plum trees, we collected leaf samples from six different plum cultivars and subjected them to RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). Six different plum transcriptomes were de novo assembled using the Trinity assembler followed by BLAST searching against a viral reference database. Results We identified hop stunt viroid (HSVd) and six viruses, including apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), little cherry virus-1 (LChV-1), peach virus D (PeVD), peach leaf pitting-associated virus (PLPaV), plum bark necrosis stem pitting-associated virus (PBNSPaV), and prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV), from six plum cultivars by RNA-seq. RT-PCR confirmed the infection of HSVd and three viruses—ACLSV, PBNSPaV, and PNRSV—in plum trees. However, RT-PCR demonstrated that plum trees in this study were not infected by LChV-1, PeVD, or PLPaV. It is likely that the three viruses LChV-1, PeVD, and PLPaV as identified by RNA-seq were contaminants from other peach libraries caused by index misassignment, which suggests that careful confirmation by other methods should be carried out in next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based virus identification. Taken together, we identified a viroid and three viruses infecting plum trees in Korea.

Abstract	Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus-ES (ToLCNDV-ES), a high threat to cucurbits in the Mediterranean Basin, is listed as a different strain from the Asian ToLCNDV isolates. In this study, the infectivity of two clones previously isolated from Italy and Pakistan were compared in cucumbers, which resulted in the opposite symptom appearance. The swapping subgenome was processed; however, the mechanisms related to the disease phenotype remain unclear. To identify the disease-associated genes that could contribute to symptom development under the two ToLCNDV infections, the transcriptomes of ToLCNDV-infected and mock-inoculated cucumber plants were compared 21 days postinoculation. The number of differentially expressed genes in ToLCNDV-India-infected plants was 10 times higher than in ToLCNDV-ES-infected samples. The gene ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment were analyzed using the Cucurbits Genomics Database. The flavonoid pathway-related genes were upregulated in ToLCNDV-ES, but some were downregulated in ToLCNDV-India infection, suggesting their role in resistance to the two ToLCNDV infections. The relative expression levels of the selected candidate genes were validated by qRT-PCR under two ToLCNDV-infected conditions. Our results reveal the different infectivity of the two ToLCNDVs in cucumber and also provide primary information based on RNA-seq for further analysis related to different ToLCNDV infections.

Abstract	Red pepper ( Capsicum annuum , L.), is one of the most important spice plants in Korea. Overwintering pepper fruits are a reservoir of various microbial pepper diseases. Here, we conducted metagenomics (DNA sequencing) and metatranscriptomics (RNA sequencing) using samples collected from three different fields. We compared two different library types and three different analytical methods for the identification of microbiomes in overwintering pepper fruits. Our results demonstrated that DNA sequencing might be useful for the identification of bacteria and DNA viruses such as bacteriophages, while mRNA sequencing might be beneficial for the identification of fungi and RNA viruses. Among three analytical methods, KRAKEN2 with raw data reads (KRAKEN2_R) might be superior for the identification of microbial species to other analytical methods. However, some microbial species with a low number of reads were wrongly assigned at the species level by KRAKEN2_R. Moreover, we found that the databases for bacteria and viruses were better established as compared to the fungal database with limited genome data. In summary, we carefully suggest that different library types and analytical methods with proper databases should be applied for the purpose of microbiome study.

Abstract	Garlic ( Allium sativum ) is a perennial bulbous plant. Due to its clonal propagation, various diseases threaten the yield and quality of garlic. In this study, we conducted in silico analysis to identify microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, and viruses in six different tissues using garlic RNA-sequencing data. The number of identified microbial species was the highest in inflorescences, followed by flowers and bulb cloves. With the Kraken2 tool, 57% of identified microbial reads were assigned to bacteria and 41% were assigned to viruses. Fungi only made up 1% of microbial reads. At the species level, Streptomyces lividans was the most dominant bacteria while Fusarium pseudograminearum was the most abundant fungi. Several allexiviruses were identified. Of them, the most abundant virus was garlic virus C followed by shallot virus X. We obtained a total of 14 viral genome sequences for four allexiviruses. As we expected, the microbial community varied depending on the tissue types, although there was a dominant microorganism in each tissue. In addition, we found that Kraken2 was a very powerful and efficient tool for the bacteria using RNA-sequencing data with some limitations for virome study.

Abstract	Microsorum species produce a high amount of phytoecdysteroids (PEs), which are widely used in traditional medicine in the Pacific islands. The PEs in two different Microsorum species, M. punctatum (MP) and M. scolopendria (MS), were examined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In particular, MS produces a high amount of 20-hydroxyecdysone, which is the main active compound in PEs. To identify genes for PE biosynthesis, we generated reference transcriptomes from sterile frond tissues using the NovaSeq 6000 system. De novo transcriptome assembly after deleting contaminants resulted in 57,252 and 54,618 clean transcripts for MP and MS, respectively. The clean Microsorum transcripts for each species were annotated according to gene ontology terms, UniProt pathways, and the clusters of the orthologous group protein database using the MEGAN6 and Sma3s programs. In total, 1852 and 1980 transcription factors were identified for MP and MS, respectively. We obtained transcripts encoding for 38 and 32 enzymes for MP and MS, respectively, potentially involved in mevalonate and sterol biosynthetic pathways, which produce precursors for PE biosynthesis. Phylogenetic analyses revealed many redundant and unique enzymes between the two species. Overall, this study provides two Microsorum reference transcriptomes that might be useful for further studies regarding PE biosynthesis in Microsorum species.

Abstract	Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) of the genus Potyvirus is an important virus in cultivated soybeans. Here, we obtained 7 SMV genomes from soybean germplasms using RNA sequencing and conducted a comprehensive evolutionary and phylogenetic study of 143 SMV genomes derived from 10 plant species and 12 countries. The phylogenetic tree we constructed using coding DNA sequences revealed the existence of nine clades of SMV isolates/strains. Recombination analysis revealed 76 recombinant events and 141 recombinants in total. Clades 1 and 3 contain the most common SMV pathotypes, including G1 through G7, which are distributed worldwide. Clade 2 includes several Chinese SMV pathotypes. The SMV isolates were further divided into two groups. The SMV isolates in the first group, including clades 8 and 9, were identified from Pinellia and Atractylodes species, whereas those in the second group (clades 1 through 7) were mostly found in cultivated soybeans. The SMV polyprotein undergoes positive selection, whereas most mature proteins, except for the P1 protein, undergo negative selection. The P1 protein of SMV isolates in group 1 may be highly correlated with host adaptation. This study provides strong evidence that recombination and plant hosts are powerful forces driving the genetic diversity of the SMV genome.

Abstract	Numerous comparative genome analyses have revealed the wide extent of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in living organisms, which contributes to their evolution and genetic diversity. Viruses play important roles in HGT. Endogenous viral elements (EVEs) are defined as viral DNA sequences present within the genomes of non-viral organisms. In eukaryotic cells, the majority of EVEs are derived from RNA viruses using reverse transcription. In contrast, endogenous non-retroviral elements (ENREs) are poorly studied. However, the increasing availability of genomic data and the rapid development of bioinformatics tools have enabled the identification of several ENREs in various eukaryotic organisms. To date, a small number of ENREs integrated into plant genomes have been identified. Of the known non-retroviruses, most identified ENREs are derived from double-strand (ds) RNA viruses, followed by single-strand (ss) DNA and ssRNA viruses. At least eight virus families have been identified. Of these, viruses in the family Partitiviridae are dominant, followed by viruses of the families Chrysoviridae and Geminiviridae. The identified ENREs have been primarily identified in eudicots, followed by monocots. In this review, we briefly discuss the current view on non-retroviral sequences integrated into plant genomes that are associated with plant-virus evolution and their possible roles in antiviral resistance.

Abstract	Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) contributes to the genome evolution of living organisms. In particular, several recent studies provide convincing data on the integration of viral sequences into diverse organisms. Here, we identified 101 viral domains integrated into the model plant Arabidopsis proteome. Functional analysis based on gene ontology (GO) terms indicates that viral domains in the Arabidopsis proteome were involved in various stress responses with binding functions. Protein interaction networks support the strong protein interactions of viral domains with other Arabidopsis proteins. A proteome-wide analysis gave a comprehensive evolutionary view of viral domains integrated into 41 plant proteomes, revealing the specific and conserved integration of viral domains into plant proteomes. Phylogenetic analyses revealed the possible HGT between viral domains and plant proteomes. Our results provide an overview of the integration of viral domains into plant proteomes and their possible functional roles associated with plant defense mechanisms.

Abstract	Porphyra-334 is a kind of mycosporine-like amino acid absorbing ultraviolet-A. Here, we characterized porphyra-334 as a potential antiaging agent. An in vitro assay revealed that porphyra-334 dramatically promoted collagen synthesis in fibroblast cells. The effect of porphyra-334 on cell proliferation was dependent on the cell type, and the increase of cell viability by porphyra-334 was the highest in keratinocyte cells among the three tested cell types. An in vivo clinical test with 22 participants demonstrated the possible role of porphyra-334 in the improvement of periorbital wrinkles. RNA-sequencing using human follicle dermal papilla (HFDP) cells upon porphyra-334 treatment identified the upregulation of metallothionein- (MT-) associated genes, confirming the antioxidant role of porphyra-334 with MT. Moreover, the expression of genes involved in nuclear chromosome segregation and the encoding of components of kinetochores was upregulated by porphyra-334 treatment. Furthermore, we found that several genes associated with the hair follicle cycle, the hair follicle structure, the epidermal structure, and stem cells were upregulated by porphyra-334 treatment, suggesting the potential role of porphyra-334 in hair follicle growth and maintenance. In summary, we provided several new pieces of evidence of porphyra-334 as a potential antiaging cosmetic agent and elucidated the expression network in HFDP cells upon porphyra-334.
