Response of grapevine shoot apex expression to grafting with rootstocks

ABSTRACT: The transcriptional response in the shoot apex to hetero-grafting Cabernet Sauvignon (CS) with the rootstocks 1103 Paulsen (CS/1103P) and Riparia Gloire de Montpellier (CS/RG) compared to the auto-grafted control (CS/CS) four months after grafting. Gene expression profiling was done using the Nimblegen whole genome array with 4 biological replicates of 5 pooled shoot apices.

<h4>Background</h4>Grafting is widely used in the agriculture of fruit-bearing crops; rootstocks are known to confer differences in scion biomass in addition to improving other traits of agricultural interest. However, little is known about the effect of rootstocks on scion gene expression. The objective of this study was to determine whether hetero-grafting the grapevine variety Vitis vinifera cv. 'Cabernet Sauvignon N' with two different rootstocks alters gene expression in the shoot apex in c ...[more]

Project description:Phytophthora blight is a highly destructive soil borne disease caused by Phytophthora capsici Leonian, which seriously threatens global pepper production. Grafting is one of the important means to improve plant disease resistance and prevent soil borne diseases in vegetable production. However, the molecular mechanism by which grafting enhances the resistance of pepper to Phytophthora blight is still unclear. This study used Phytophthora capsici resistant strain ‘ZCM334’ and susceptible strain ‘Early Calwonder’ as rootstocks, and ‘Early Calwonder’ as scions for grafting. Phenotypic observation and cytological analysis showed that compared with the ‘Early Calwonder’ self rooted plants, the ‘ZCM334’ grafted plants had a later onset of disease, stronger resistance, and less damage to leaf cells, indicating that grafting can significantly improve the resistance of pepper to Phytophthora capsici. This study identified differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the leaves and roots of ‘ZCM334’ grafted plants and ‘Early Calwonder’ self rooted plants through proteomic analysis based on iTRAQ technology, and 478 and 349 DEPs were identified between their leaves and roots, respectively. These DEPs were mainly involved in metabolic process, cellular process, response to stimulus and catalytic activity processes. We identified and screened 12 DEPs with consistent expression trends in the leaves and roots of ‘ZCM334’ grafted plants and ‘Early Calwonder’ self rooted plants, including seven DEPs related to Phytophthora capsici resistance (CA01g31060, CA02g15780, CA02g30850, CA01g11410, CA05g12260, CA03g35150, and CA03g36980) and five proteins with unknown functions (CA01g26190, CA11g10620, CA12g02730, CA01g20890 and CA02g11340). Through qRT-PCR analysis, a significant correlation was observed between the protein and transcript levels of these 12 DEPs, and their expression characteristics were analyzed in the roots and leaves of ‘ZCM334’ grafted plants and ‘Early Calwonder’ self rooted plants at different stages (0h, 12h, 24h, and 36h) after inoculation with Phytophthora capsici. This study provides valuable information for exploring the molecular mechanisms by which grafting enhances the resistance of pepper to Phytophthora blight and the excavation of these key genes provides research ideas for studying the regulatory network of pepper resistance to Phytophthora capsici.

Project description:Huanglongbing (HLB) is a worldwide devastating disease of citrus. There are no effective control measures for this newly emerging but century-old disease. A powerful oligonucleotide microarray of high-density 16S rRNA genes, the PhyloChip microarray, has been developed and effectively used to study bacterial diversity, especially from environmental samples. In this article, we aim to decipher the bacterial microbiome in HLB-affected citrus versus non-infected citrus as well as in citrus plants treated with ampicillin and gentamicin using PhyloChip-based metagenomics. The antibiotic treatments were conducted on the randomized complete block design with three replicates. For each replicate, 15 scions were treated in each antibiotic treatment (Amp and Gm) and control (CK1 and CK2). HLB-affected budsticks were sampled from severely HLB-affected field rough lemons (cv. Lemon #76) at the USDA-ARS-USHRL farm in Fort Pierce, FL and tested positive for Las by real-time qPCR. They were soaked in the antibiotic treatments; ampicillin sodium at a concentration of 1.0 g/L (Amp, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) or gentamicin sulfate at a concentration of 100 mg/L (Gm, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and water as the diseased control (CK1), overnight in a fume hood under ventilation and lighting. Las-free budsticks, which tested negative by qPCR from healthy rough lemons, were also soaked in water as the healthy control (CK2). The budsticks were grafted onto two-year-old healthy grapefruit (Citrus paradisi 'Duncan') rootstocks and covered using plastic tape for three weeks. To improve scion growth, new flush from the rootstocks was removed after grafting and then allowed to grow. All experimental plants were grown in an insect-proof greenhouse. The first leaf samples from scions (rough lemon) and rootstocks (grapefruit) for DNA extraction were taken four months after inoculation, and second samplings were taken at six month after inoculation. The leaves were washed in tap water and then rinsed three times with sterile water. The midribs of the leaves were excised, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80M-BM-0C. The midribs of five leaves from each sample were pooled, and DNA was isolated for qPCR analysis for Las bacterium. DNA from the leaf midribs of scions for the PhyloChipT G3 analysis, which was extracted from all samples of the same treatment, was pooled in equal amounts and quantified by the PicoGreenM-BM-. method. The PhyloChipTM G3 analysis was conducted by Second Genome Inc. (San Francisco, CA).

Project description:Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic and carcinogenic pollutant that poses a threat to human and animal health by affecting several major organ systems. Urbanization and human activities have led to significant increases in Cd concentration in the environment, including in agroecosystems. To protect against the harmful effects of Cd, efforts are being made to promote safe crop production and to clean up Cd-contaminated agricultural lands and water, reducing Cd exposure through the consumption of contaminated agricultural products. There is a need for management strategies that can improve plant Cd tolerance and reduce Cd accumulation in crop plant tissues, all of which involve understanding the impacts of Cd on plant physiology and metabolism. Grafting, a longstanding plant propagation technique, has been shown to be a useful approach for studying the effects of Cd on plants, including insights into the signaling between organs and organ-specific modulation of plant performance under this form of environmental stress. In this review, we aim to highlight the current state of knowledge on the use of grafting to gain insights into Cd-induced effects as well as its potential applicability in safe crop production and phytoremediation. In particular, we emphasize the utility of heterograft systems for assessment of Cd accumulation, biochemical and molecular responses, and tolerance in crop and other plant species under Cd exposure, as well as potential intergenerational effects. We outline our perspectives and future directions for research in this area and the potential practical applicability of plant grafting, with attention to the most obvious gaps in knowledge. We aim at inspiring researchers to explore the potential of grafting for modulating Cd tolerance and accumulation and for understanding the mechanisms of Cd-induced responses in plants for both agricultural safety and phytoremediation purposes. Finally, it is important to bear in mind that although we have address Cd in this review, the idea can be applied to the large majority of abiotic and biotic stressors.
