Transcriptional response to cotton worm feeding in resistant and susceptible soybean lines

ABSTRACT: The interaction between soybean and its destructive insect (cotton worm) is complicated. In this paper, the timecourse of induced responses to cotton worm were characterized in two soybean lines, suggesting complex results with different timepoints of peak induced resistance in resistant (WX) and susceptible (NN) soybean lines. To get a better understanding of induced resistant mechanisms of soybean against herbivory, two sets of transcriptome profiles of WX and NN at their peak induced resistant timepoints were compared by microarrays The common phenomenon was that no matter in resistant or susceptible line, there always exist a peak level of induced resistance timepoint. Here we are aimed to focus on transcriptional changes induced by insect feeding at the peak timepoints (5 dai and 24 hai) in WX and NN, three biological replicates were used for each of the four treatments (WX treated (WX-T) and control (WX-CK); NN treated (NN-T) and control (NN-CK) ) with three biological replicates.

Project description:Fusarium oxysporum is one of the most common species causing soybean root rot and seedling blight in the U.S. In a recent study, significant variation in aggressiveness was observed among isolates of F. oxysporum collected from roots in Iowa, ranging from highly pathogenic to weakly or non-pathogenic isolates. In the present work, a RNA-seq-based analysis was used for the first time to investigate the molecular aspect of the interaction of a partially resistant soybean genotype with non-pathogenic/pathogenic isolates of F. oxysporum at 72 and 96 hours post inoculation (hpi). Markedly different gene expression profiles were observed in compatible and incompatible host-pathogen combinations. A peak of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was observed at 72 hpi in soybean roots in response to both isolates, although the number of DEGs was about eight times higher for the pathogenic isolate compared to the non-pathogenic one (1,659 vs. 203 DEGs, respectively). Furthermore, not only the number of genes, but also the magnitude of induction was much greater in response to the pathogenic isolate. This response included a stronger activation of many well-known defense-related genes, and several genes involved in ethylene biosynthesis and signalling, transcription factors, secondary and sugar metabolism. In addition, 1130 fungal genes were differentially expressed between the F. oxysporum isolates in planta during the infection process. Interestingly, 10% of these genes encode plant cell-wall degrading enzymes, reactive oxygen species-related enzymes and fungal proteins involved in primary metabolic pathways. Such information may be useful in the development of new methods of broadening resistance of soybean to F. oxysporum, including the silencing of important fungal genes, and also to understand the molecular basis of soybean-F. oxysporum interactions. Soybean seedlings mRNA profiles inoculated with a non-pathogenic and pathogenic isolates of F. oxysporum and collected at 72 and 96 hpi, were generated using Illumina HiSeq 2500. Control seedlings were also included for each time of inoculation. Three biological replicates were considered for each condition, 18 samples in total.

Project description:Background: Soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) is the most devastating pathogen of soybean. Many gene expression profiling studies have been conducted to investigate the responses of soybean to the infection by this pathogen using primarily the first-generation soybean genome array that covered approximately 37,500 soybean transcripts. However, no study has been reported yet using the second-generation Affymetrix soybean whole-genome transcript array (Soybean WT array) that represents approximately 66,000 predicted soybean transcripts. Results: In the present work, the gene expression profiles of two soybean plant introductions (PIs) PI 437654 and PI 567516C (both resistant to multiple SCN races) and cultivar (cv.) Magellan (susceptible to SCN) were compared in the presence or absence of the SCN inoculum at different time points (3 and 8 days post-inoculation). For this purpose, the Soybean WT array, which covers many more predicted soybean transcripts than the first-generation Affymetrix soybean array, was employed. Data analysis revealed that the two resistant soybean lines showed distinctive gene expression profiles from each other and from Magellan not only in response to the SCN inoculation, but also in the absence of SCN. Overall, 1,413 genes and many pathways, such as defense and hormonal pathways, were revealed to be differentially regulated. Among them, 297 genes were constitutively regulated in the two resistant lines (compared with cv. Magellan) and 1,146 genes were responsive to the SCN inoculation in the three lines, with 30 genes regulated both constitutively and by SCN. In addition to the findings similar to those in the published work, many genes involved in ethylene, protein degradation, and phenylpropanoid pathways were also revealed differentially regulated in the present study. GC-rich elements (e.g., GCATGC) were found over-represented in the promoter regions of certain groups of genes. These have not been observed before, and could be new defense-responsive regulatory elements. Conclusions: Different soybean lines showed different gene expression profiles in the presence and absence of the SCN inoculum. Both inducible and constitutive gene expression may contribute to resistance to multiple SCN HG Types in the resistant soybean PI lines. Ethylene, protein degradation, and phenylpropanoid pathways, as well as many other pathways reported previously, may play important roles in mediating the soybean-SCN interactions. The revealed genes, pathways, and promoter elements can be further explored to regulate or engineer soybean for resistance to SCN. Three soybean lines were compared in the study: Magellan (susceptible to SCN), PI 437654 (PI654; resistant to SCN), and PI 567516C (PI516C; resistant to SCN). Overall, thirty samples, including two biological replicates for each sample, were analyzed.
