Project description:Drought and herbivores are main threats to crop production. Barley plants were subjected to dehydration, spider mite attack or to a combination of both stresses. RNA-seq analyses were done to know how individual and double abiotic-biotic stresses promote changes in the transcriptome.

Project description:HvPap-1 is a C1A cysteine protease from barley that has been associated to endogenous processes and responds to abiotic and biotic stresses. Overexpressing and silencing lines were constructed to test the response of plants with variations in the levels of HvPap-1 to different stresses. RNA-seq analyses were done to know how changes in HvPap-1 expression levels affect the expression of other genes and the effect of these changes in the response of the plant.

Project description:Bryophytes are the most basal of the extant land plants. A major feature of these plants is the biphasic alteration of generations between a dominant haploid gametophyte and a minor diploid sporophyte phase. To analyse the differences in the transcriptome of the early gametophyte (protonema) and early and mid-sporophyte phases of the moss Physcomitrella patens, microarray gene expression profiles were performed using dissected sporophyte tissue. Through further analysis the early and mid-sporophyte phases were compared. RNA isolated from the Gametophytic protonemal tissue was hybridised to six microarrays. Each microarray was hybridised with RNA from a separate biological replicate. Three of these microarrays were co-hybridised with RNA isolated from early sporophytes. With the third gametophyte biological replicate and early sporophyte replicate a dye swap was carried out. The remaining three microarrays hybridised with RNA from the gametophytes were co-hybridised with RNA from mid-sporophytic tissue. A dye swap was carried out on the sixth gametophyte replicate and third mid-sporophyte replicate.To meet the quality requirements for the microarray experiment, at least 400 sporophytes were used per extraction. Three or four RNA extracts were then pooled for further precipitation to maximise purity and concentration. Up to 1600 sporophytes were harvested to prepare sufficient RNA for each microarray replicate. In bioinformatic analysis the channels were split into individual channels and the early and mid-sporophyte were compared.

Project description:About 475 million years ago plants originated from an ancestral green alga and evolved first as non-vascular and later as vascular plants, becoming the primary producers of biomass on lands. During that time, the light harvesting complex II (LHCII), responsible for sunlight absorption and excitation energy transfer to the Photosystem II (PSII) core, underwent extensive differentiation. Lhcb4 is an ancestral ubiquitous LHCII that during plant diversification continued to change, finally differentiating in flowering plants in up to three isoforms, Lhcb4.1, Lhcb4.2 and Lhcb4.3. The pivotal position of Lhcb4 in the PSII-LHCII supercomplex (PSII-LHCIIsc), as linker for S- and M-trimers of LHCII to the PSII core, suggests its major role in light harvesting modulation. The increased accumulation of Lhcb4.3 observed in PSII-LHCIIsc of plants acclimated to moderate and high light intensities induced us to investigate whether this isoform is present in a specific PSII-LHCIIsc conformation that might explain its light-dependent accumulation. In this work, by combining an improved method for separation of different forms of PSII-LHCIIsc from thylakoids of Pisum sativum grown at increasing irradiances with quantitative proteomics, we assessed that Lhcb4.3 is abundant in PSII-LHCIIsc of type C2S2, irrespective of the plant growth irradiance. Phylogenetic comparative analysis on different taxa of the Viridiplantae lineage and structural modelling further pointed out to an effect of the evolution of different Lhcb4 isoforms on the light-dependent modulation of the PSII-LHCIIsc organization. This information provides new insight on the properties of the Lhcb4 and its isoforms and their role on the structure, function and regulation of PSII.

Project description:We have implemented an integrated Systems Biology approach to analyze overall transcriptomic reprogramming and systems level defense responses in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana during an insect (Brevicoryne brassicae) and a bacterial (Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato strain DC3000) attack. The main aim of this study was to identify the attacker-specific and general defense response signatures in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana while attacked by phloem feeding aphids or pathogenic bacteria. Defense responses and networks, unique and specific for aphid or Pseudomonas stresses were identified. Our analysis revealed a probable link between biotic stress and microRNAs in Arabidopsis and thus opened up a new direction to conduct large-scale targeted experiments to explore detailed regulatory links among them. The presented results provide a first comprehensive understanding of Arabidopsis - B. brassicae and Arabidopsis - P. syringae interactions at a systems biology level. Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Colombia-0) seeds were grown in 6-cm-diameter pots filled with a sterile soil mix (1.0 part soil and 0.5 part horticultural perlite), 3 plants per pot. Plants were kept in growth chambers VM-CM-6tsch VB 1514 (VM-CM-6tsch Industrietechnik GmbH, Germany) under the following conditions: a 8/16 h (light/dark) photoperiod at 22M-BM-0C/18M-BM-0C, 40%/70% relative humidity, and 70/0 M-NM-<mol m-2s-1 light intensity. After 32 days plants had 8 fully developed leaves. Each plant was infested with 32 wingless aphids [Brevicoryne Brassicae] (4 per leaf), which were transferred to leaves with a fine paintbrush. Infested plants and aphid-free controls were kept in plexiglass cylinders. Plants were harvested 72 h after infestation between the 6th and 8th hour of the light photoperiod. Four biological replicates were prepared from aphid infested and control plants, each sampled from 15 individual plants. Whole rosettes were cut at the hypocotyls and aphids were removed by washing with Milli-Q-filtered water. Differences in transcriptional responses were measured by comparing genes expression of aphid infested plants against non-infested control plants.

Project description:Salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) fulfill key signaling functions in plant responses to herbivores. However, the mechanisms that facilitate systemic signaling in response to phloem-feeding insects remain poorly defined. Rapid local and systemic transcriptome reprogramming patterns observed in Arabidopsis thaliana following infestation by the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae Sulzer) identify abscisic acid (ABA) and redox-signalling as key factors in the transmission of signals from local to systemic leaves. Moreover, aphid fecundity was increased in mutants that were defective in ABA-signaling through ABA-INSENSITIVE 4 and show constitutive up-regulation of SA- and JA-mediated defense pathways. Conversely, aphid fecundity was decreased and aphid vigor was impaired on vitamin C2 mutants that are defective in the major low molecular weight antioxidant of plant cells, ascorbic acid and show constitutive up-regulation of redox defense and SA-mediated pathways but reduced up-regulation of JA-mediated pathways. Crossing vtc2 with abi4 restored the wild type sensitivity to aphids. Hence aphid fecundity was attenuated by low ascorbate in a manner that was dependent on the functions of the ABI4 transcription factor. ABI4 is not only an important regulator of systemic defenses against aphids but it makes a significant contribution to the SA-mediated repression of JA signaling.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can act as a signaling molecule that influences various aspects of plant growth and development, including stress signaling and cell death. To unravel the molecular mechanisms that regulate the response towards an impact of increased H2O2 levels in plant cells, we focused on the photorespiration-dependent peroxisomal H2O2 production in Arabidopsis thaliana mutants lacking CATALASE2 (CAT2) activity (cat2-2). Unstressed and stressed samples of cat2-2 in triplicate

Project description:Spider mites, including the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae, TSSM) and the Banks grass mite (Oligonychus pratensis, BGM), are becoming increasingly important agricultural pests. The TSSM is an extreme generalist documented to feed on more than 1100 plant hosts. In contrast, the BGM is a grass specialist, with hosts including important cereal crops like maize, wheat, sorghum and barley. Historically, studies of plant-herbivore interactions have focused largely on insects. However, far less is known about plant responses to spider mite herbivores, especially in grasses, and whether responses differ between generalists and specialists. To identify plant defense pathways responding to spider mites, we collected time course RNA-seq data from barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) infested with TSSMs and BGMs. Additionally, and as a comparison to the physical damage caused by spider mite feeding, a wounding treatment was also included. The experiment was performed with four biological replicates across each of the following (28 samples in total): no infestation (C, control), 2hr after wounding (W2), 24hr after wounding (W24), 2hr after TSSM infestation (T2), 24hr after TSSM infestation (T24), 2hr after BGM infestation (B2), and 24hr after BGM infestation (B24).
