Project description:Purpose: The tomato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli Šulc (Hemiptera: Triozidae), is a pest of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and potato (S. tuberosum) in the U.S. and vectors the disease-causing pathogen ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’. Plants undergo physiological, transcriptomic, or epigenetic changes in order to mount a stronger, faster response against secondary challenges by previously perceived threats. This is called defense ‘priming’ and it likely has an impact on vectored disease transmission. Currently, it is still unknown whether or not psyllid infestation has any lasting consequences for tomato gene expression or defense. To characterize the genes potentially involved in tomato priming against psyllids, RNA was extracted from psyllid-primed and uninfested tomato (Moneymaker) leaves three weeks after infestation. Methods: RNA was extracted and sequenced from plants three weeks after psyllid infestation. Plants were either left alone (Control or C) or infested with psyllids (Primed or J1). Libraries were developed using the TruSeq RNA Library Prep Kit v2. Sequencing was performed on the Illumina PE HiSeq 2500 v4 platform. Processed sequences were uploaded to the CyVerse Discovery Environment computational infrastructure where bioinformatic analysis was performed using the Tuxedo Suite 2 workflow. Results: Illumina HiSeq sequencing of tomato cDNA libraries produced 132,428,443 total reads that met FastQC quality control criteria. 94.6% of all reads mapped to vSL3.0 of the S. lycopersicum genome. CuffDiff2 analysis identified 310 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between control and psyllid-primed plants (q-value <0.01). Conclusions: A week-long infestation by a small number of B. cockerelli had lasting consequences for gene expression in tomato plants. Homologs of the DEGs were associated with 1) defense against abiotic and biotic stress, 2) growth and development, and 3) components of plant biology indirectly involved in plant growth and development such as homeostasis, transcription/translation, and molecular transport.

Project description:The tomato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli Šulc (Hemiptera: Triozidae), is a pest of solanaceous crops such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in the U.S. and vectors the disease-causing pathogen ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ (or Lso). Lso disease symptom severity is dependent on Lso haplotype: tomato plants infected with Lso haplotype B experience more severe symptoms and higher mortality compared to plants infected with Lso haplotype A. By characterizing the molecular differences in the tomato plant’s responses to Lso haplotypes, the key components of LsoB virulence can be identified and, thus, targeted for disease mitigation strategies. To characterize the tomato plant genes putatively involved in the differential immune responses to Lso haplotypes A and B, RNA was extracted from tomato ‘Moneymaker’ leaves three weeks after psyllid infestation. Gene expression levels were compared between uninfected tomato plants (i.e., controls and plants infested with Lso-free psyllids) and infected plants (i.e., plants infested with psyllids infected with either Lso haplotype A or Lso haplotype B). Furthermore, expression levels were compared between plants infected with Lso haplotype A and plants infected with Lso haplotype B. A whole transcriptome analysis identified 578 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between uninfected and infected plants as well as 451 DEGs between LsoA- and LsoB-infected plants. These DEGs were primarily associated with plant defense against abiotic and biotic stressors, growth/development, plant primary metabolism, transport and signaling, and transcription/translation. These gene expression changes suggested that tomato plants traded off plant growth and homeostasis for improved defense against pathogens, especially when infected with LsoB. Consistent with these results, tomato plant growth experiments determined that LsoB-infected plants were significantly stunted and had impaired negative geotropism. However, it appeared that the defense responses mounted by tomatoes were insufficient for overcoming the disease symptoms and mortality caused by LsoB infection, while these defenses could compensate for LsoA infection. The transcriptomic analysis and growth experiments demonstrated that Lso-infected tomato plants underwent gene expression changes related to abiotic and biotic stressors, impaired growth/development, impaired plant primary metabolism, impaired transport and signaling transduction, and impaired transcription/translation. Furthermore, the transcriptomic analysis also showed that LsoB-infected plants, relative to LsoA-infected, experienced more severe stunting, had improved responses to some stressors and impaired responses to others, had poorer transport and signaling transduction, and had impaired carbohydrate synthesis and photosynthesis.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The tomato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli Šulc (Hemiptera: Triozidae), is a pest of solanaceous crops such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in the U.S. and vectors the disease-causing pathogen ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’. Currently, the only effective strategies for controlling the diseases associated with this pathogen involve regular pesticide applications to manage psyllid population density. However, such practices are unsustainable and will eventually lead to widespread pesticide resistance in psyllids. Therefore, new control strategies must be developed to increase host-plant resistance to insect vectors. For example, expression of constitutive and inducible plant defenses can be improved through selection. Currently, it is still unknown whether psyllid infestation has any lasting consequences on tomato plant defense or tomato plant gene expression in general. RESULTS: To characterize the genes putatively involved in tomato defense against psyllid infestation, RNA was extracted from psyllid-infested and uninfested tomato leaves (Moneymaker) three weeks post-infestation. Transcriptome analysis identified 362 differentially expressed genes. These differentially expressed genes were primarily associated with defense responses to abiotic/biotic stress, transcription/translation, cellular signaling/transport, and photosynthesis. These gene expression changes suggested that tomato plants underwent a reduction in plant growth/health in exchange for improved defense against stress that was observable three weeks after psyllid infestation. Consistent with these observations, tomato plant growth experiments determined that the plants were shorter three weeks after psyllid infestation. Furthermore, psyllid nymphs had lower survival rates on tomato plants that had been previously psyllid infested. CONCLUSION: These results suggested that psyllid infestation has lasting consequences for tomato gene expression, defense, and growth.

Project description:In response to biotic stress, plants produce suites of highly modified fatty acids that bear unusual chemical functionality. Despite their chemical complexity and proposed roles in pathogen defense, little is known about the biosynthesis of these decorated fatty acids in plants. Falcarindiol is a prototypical acetylenic lipid present in carrot, tomato, and celery that inhibits growth of fungi and human cancer cell lines. Using a combination of untargeted metabolomics and RNA sequencing, we discovered a biosynthetic gene cluster in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) that is required for the production of falcarindiol in response to an adapted fungal pathogen, Cladosporium fulvum. By reconstituting the initial biosynthetic steps in a heterologous host (Nicotiana benthamiana) and generating transgenic pathway mutants in tomato, we demonstrate a direct role for three genes in the cluster in falcarindiol biosynthesis. This work reveals a mechanism by which plants sculpt their lipid pool in response to pathogens, and provides critical insight into the complex biochemistry of alkynyl lipid production.

Project description:The function of the plant hormone jasmonic acid (JA) in development of tomato flowers was analyzed with a mutant defective in JA perception (jasmonate-insensitive1-1, jai1-1). In contrast to Arabidopsis JA-insensitive plants that are male sterile, the tomato mutant jai1-1 exhibits major defects in female development resulting in female sterility. To identify putative JA-dependent regulatory components, transcriptomics was performed using isolated ovules of three different stages of flower development, from both wild type and jai1-1. Among the strongly down-regulated genes in jai1-1, one encoding a MYB transcription factor (SlMYB21) was found. Its orthologue in Arabidopsis has a crucial role in JA-regulated stamen development. SlMYB21 showed transcription factor activity in yeast, interaction with SlJAZ9 in yeast and in planta, and complemented the Arabidopsis mutant myb21-5. To analyze SlMYB21 function in tomato ovule development, CRISPR/Cas9 mutants were created and a TILLING mutant was identified, all showing female sterility and therefore corroborating a function of MYB21 in tomato ovule development. Transcriptomics from wild type, jai1-1 and myb21-2 carpels revealed processes that might be controlled by SlMYB21. The data suggest a positive regulation of JA biosynthesis by SlMYB21, but a negative regulation of the action of auxin and GA. The results demonstrate that SlMYB21 mediates at least partially the action of JA and might control the flower to fruit transition.

Project description:Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Moneymaker tomato plants were grown for 4 weeks in greenhouse conditions (16h/8h light/darkness, 27 °C). L. esculentum was randomly sorted into two groups of 16 plants each and a third reference group of 6 plants. All plants were contained individually in mesh bags. One group of 16 plants was infested with 25 female adult tomato psyllids that were 2-3 days old per plant. The other two groups of 16 and 6 plants were not infested (healthy control, and reference pool). After 3 days, the adults were removed from the infested plants to allow for egg eclosion and eventually nymphal development. In this study, leaves infested and healthy plants were harvested for RNA extraction at 0, 3, 11, and 17 days after infestation with tomato psyllids. The reference pool was harvested on day 0. Tissue (all-leaflets) from at least three plants per group was collected, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and pooled for each time point (0, 3, 11 and 17 days after infestation) to represent treatments for before feeding (0 d), adult feeding and egg deposition (3 d), 1st and 2nd instar feeding (11 d) and 3rd to 5th instar feeding (17 d ), respectively. The whole experiment was repeated three times (three biological replicates). Plant tissues were ground using a cold mortar and pestle. Total tomato leaf RNA was extracted using the hot-phenol protocol. The RNA was precipitated, pooled, cleaned with a kit and stored at –80C. Two populations of single-stranded cDNAs will be generated from the aliquots and labeled with the cyanine Cy3 and Cy5 fluorophores. RNA isolated from the reference pool (0 d) will be pooled from each replicate and will be labeled with Cy5; this is the reference sample for each hybridization. RNA isolated from leaves infested with tomato psyllids and healthy uninfested plants from each time point will be query samples labeled with Cy3. The two samples of labeled cDNA will be simultaneously hybridized to the same microarray. Keywords: Reference design

Project description:The occurrence of Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) disease seriously damages tomato growth and yield, and there is no effective way to control ToCV transmission. So far, no studies have reported exploring the interaction between ToCV and tomato at the single cellular level. In this study, single cell RNA sequence was performed on a total of 26720 individual cells from healthy and ToCV-infected tomato leaves. We through identifying cell types, the first tomato leaf cell atlas was successfully constructed. In situ hybridization experiments identified specific marker genes that can be used to identify tomato cell types. Moreover, we have characterized transcription factors that may play a key role in tomato response to ToCV infection, and described the trichome differentiation trajectory during ToCV infection through pseudotime analysis. In conclusion, we proved the feasibility of single-cell sequencing to study the response of plants to biotic stress, and put forward new insights into the interaction between ToCV and tomato from the cellular level. Our data will lay the foundation for following studies between ToCV and plants, and will also provide a valuable reference for future research on non-model plant single cells.

Project description:Gene expression in response to severe heat stress (50°C 1 h) was compared between thermotolerant and thermosensitive tomato cultivars. The thermosensitive cultivar showed severe impairment of heat stress response at this condition, while the thermotolerant cultivar were less affected. The results of this experiment were used to select expression marker genes that reflect the cellular heat shock response and correlate with thermotolerance.
