Proteomic analysis of soybean defense response induced by cotton worm (prodenia litura, fabricius) feeding.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Cotton worm is one of the main insects of soybean in southern China. Plants may acquire defense mechanisms that confer protection from predation by herbivores. Induced responses can lead to increased resistance against herbivores in many species. This study focuses on searching changed proteins in soybean defense response induced by cotton worm feeding. RESULTS:Ten protein spots that are changed in abundance in response to cotton worm feeding were identified by Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). A total of 11 unique proteins from these spots were identified by MALDI-TOF MS. The mRNA and protein relative expression levels of most changed proteins were up-regulated. These proteins were mainly involved in physiological processes, including active oxygen removal, defense signal transduction, and metabolism regulation. CONCLUSION:This is the first proteomic analysis of the soybean defense response induced by cotton worm. The differentially expressed proteins could work together to play a major role in the induced defense response. PAL and SAMS were up-regulated at both the protein and mRNA levels. These genes can be strongest candidates for further functional research.

Project description:BackgroundCommon cutworm (CCW) is highly responsible for destabilizing soybean productivity. Wild soybean is a resource used by breeders to discover elite defensive genes.ResultsThe transcriptomes of two wild accessions (W11 and W99) with different resistance to CCW were analyzed at early- and late-induction time points. After induction, the susceptible accession W11 differentially expressed 1268 and 508 genes at the early and late time points, respectively. Compared with W11, the resistant accession W99 differentially expressed 1270 genes at the early time point and many more genes (2308) at the late time point. In total, 3836 non-redundant genes were identified in both lines. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses revealed that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in W99 at the late time point were mostly associated with specific processes and pathways. Among the non-redundant genes, 146 genes were commonly up-regulated in the treatment condition compared with the control condition at the early- and late-induction time points in both accessions used in this experiment. Approximately 40% of the common DEGs were related to secondary metabolism, disease resistance, and signal transduction based on their putative function. Excluding the common DEGs, W99 expressed more unique DEGs than W11. Further analysis of the 3836 DEGs revealed that the induction of CCW not only up-regulated defense-related genes, including 37 jasmonic acid (JA)-related genes, 171 plant-pathogen-related genes, and 17 genes encoding protease inhibitors, but also down-regulated growth-related genes, including 35 photosynthesis-related genes, 48 nutrition metabolism genes, and 28 auxin metabolism genes. Therefore, representative defense-related and growth-related genes were chosen for binding site prediction via co-expression of transcription factors (TFs) and spatial expression pattern analyses. In total, 53 binding sites of 28 TFs were identified based on 3 defense-related genes and 3 growth-related genes. Phosphate transporter PT1, which is a representative growth-related gene, was transformed into soybean, and the transgenic soybean plants were susceptible to CCW.ConclusionsIn summary, we described transcriptome reprograming after herbivore induction in wild soybean, identified the susceptibility of growth-related genes, and provided new resources for the breeding of herbivore-resistant cultivated soybeans.
