Comparison of Transcriptome Differences in Soybean Response to Soybean Mosaic Virus under Normal Light and in the Shade.

ABSTRACT: Shading in the intercropping system is a major abiotic factor which influences soybean growth and development, while soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is a biotic factor that limits the yield and quality of soybean. However, little is known about the defense response of soybean to SMV in the shade. Thus, in the current study, both intensity and quality (red:far-red, R:FR) of the light were changed to simulate the shaded environment and comparative transcriptome analysis was performed. Morphologically, plant growth was inhibited by SMV, which decreased 35.93% of plant height and 8.97% of stem diameter in the shade. A total of 3548 and 4319 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in soybean plants infected with SMV under normal light and in the shade. Enrichment analysis showed that the plant defense-related genes were upregulated under normal light but downregulated in the shade. Pathways that were repressed include plant-pathogen interaction, secondary metabolism, sugar metabolism, and vitamin metabolism. In addition, genes associated with signaling pathways such as salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ETH) were also downregulated in the shade. A qRT-PCR assay of 15 DEGs was performed to confirm transcriptome results. According to our knowledge, this is the first report on soybean response to dual stress factors. These results provide insights into the molecular mechanisms in which soybean plants were infected with SMV in the shade.

Project description:Background:Soybean mosaic virus (SMV), a Potyvirus, is the most prevalent viral pathogen of soybean that causes severe yield and seed quality reductions in world soybean production. So far, multiple resistance loci for different SMV strains have been fine-mapped while the candidate genes' functions need to be verified. However, identification of the resistance or susceptibility genes via stable genetic transformation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which hinders further exploration of these genes' functions in soybean. Thus we tried to explore a rapid and efficient method for verification of SMV-related target gene function in soybean. Results:An Agrobacterium rhizogenes (A. rhizogenes) induced soybean hairy roots versus Soybean mosaic virus (ARISHR-SMV) pathosystem was established. The procedure is characterized with that (1) the soybean hairy roots that can be infected by SMV are induced by A. rhizogenes K599 using soybean cotyledons as explants, (2) the gene to be examined for its function, which may be the endogenous SMV-resistance or -susceptible gene or exogenous SMV-related gene, is transformed into soybean calluses mediated by A. rhizogenes, (3) the transformed calluses on explants further inoculated with the purified tester-SMV virions using pricking method under aseptic conditions, and (4) the measurement of the SMV content in positive hairy roots for evaluating the SMV-related target gene function. The procedure takes about 30 days for one cycle. Utilizing the established procedure, the soybean hairy roots induced by A. rhizogenes was efficiently infected by multiple different SMV strains, the SMV infectivity in soybean hairy roots can be retained at least twice successive transfer cultures and Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) P19 promoting and SMV CP suppressing SMV infection in soybean hairy roots was demonstrated, respectively. This procedure can also be used for identification of resistance to SMV strains for soybean germplasms. Conclusion:The ARISHR-SMV is an efficient pathosystem that allows a quick and convenient identification of SMV-related target gene function in soybean.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is the most prevalent viral disease in many soybean production areas. Due to a large number of SMV resistant loci and alleles, SMV strains and the rapid evolution in avirulence/effector genes, traditional breeding for SMV resistance is complex. Genetic engineering is an effective alternative method for improving SMV resistance in soybean. Potassium (K+) is the most abundant inorganic solute in plant cells, and is involved in plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Studies have shown that altering the level of K+ status can reduce the spread of the viral diseases. Thus K+ transporters are putative candidates to target for soybean virus resistance. RESULTS: The addition of K+ fertilizer significantly reduced SMV incidence. Analysis of K+ channel gene expression indicated that GmAKT2, the ortholog of Arabidopsis K+ weak channel encoding gene AKT2, was significantly induced by SMV inoculation in the SMV highly-resistant genotype Rsmv1, but not in the susceptible genotype Ssmv1. Transgenic soybean plants overexpressing GmAKT2 were produced and verified by Southern blot and RT-PCR analysis. Analysis of K+ concentrations on different leaves of both the transgenic and the wildtype (Williams 82) plants revealed that overexpression of GmAKT2 significantly increased K+ concentrations in young leaves of plants. In contrast, K+ concentrations in the old leaves of the GmAKT2-Oe plants were significantly lower than those in WT plants. These results indicated that GmAKT2 acted as a K+ transporter and affected the distribution of K+ in soybean plants. Starting from 14 days after inoculation (DAI) of SMV G7, severe mosaic symptoms were observed on the WT leaves. In contrast, the GmAKT2-Oe plants showed no symptom of SMV infection. At 14 and 28 DAI, the amount of SMV RNA in WT plants increased 200- and 260- fold relative to GmAKT2-Oe plants at each time point. Thus, SMV development was significantly retarded in GmAKT2-overexpressing transgenic soybean plants. CONCLUSIONS: Overexpression of GmAKT2 significantly enhanced SMV resistance in transgenic soybean. Thus, alteration of K+ transporter expression is a novel molecular approach for enhancing SMV resistance in soybean.
