Effects of abiotic stress on the expression of Hsp70 genes in Sogatella furcifera (Horvath).

ABSTRACT: Sogatella furcifera (Horváth), a prominent rice pest in Asia, is a typical R-strategic and highly adaptable insect. Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are highly conserved molecular chaperones regulating responses to various abiotic stresses; however, limited information is available regarding their role in responding to abiotic stress in S. furcifera. This study aimed to investigate the effect of abiotic stresses on the expression of Hsp70 genes in the S. furcifera. Five Hsp70 genes were isolated from S. furcifera, and the expression patterns at different developmental stages and temperatures, upon treatment with different insecticides and ultraviolet A (UV-A) stress, were analyzed. Hsp70 genes were expressed at different developmental stages. Hsp70-2, Hsp70-5, and Hsp70-6 were significantly upregulated upon heat shock at 40 °C for 30 min. Hsp70-3 and Hsp70-4 were significantly upregulated upon heat shock at 30 °C for 30 min. Under UV-A stress, Hsp70-3, Hsp70-4, Hsp70-5, and Hsp70-6 were significantly upregulated. Conversely, Hsp70-2 was significantly downregulated under UV-A stress. The five Hsp70 genes were significantly downregulated in 3rd-instar nymphs on exposure to thiamethoxam, buprofezin, and avermectin at LC10 and LC25 concentrations. Hence, Hsp70 genes significantly contribute to the tolerance of S. furcifera to temperature and UV-A stress; however, they are not involved in the response to insecticides.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The white backed planthopper (WBPH), Sogatella furcifera (Horváth), causes great damage to many crops by direct feeding or transmitting plant viruses. Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV), transmitted by WBPH, has become a great threat to rice production in East Asia. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: By de novo transcriptome assembling and massive parallel pyrosequencing, we constructed two transcriptomes of WBPH and profiled the alternation of gene expression in response to SRBSDV infection in transcriptional level. Over 25 million reads of high-quality DNA sequences and 81388 different unigenes were generated using Illumina technology from both viruliferous and non-viruliferous WBPH. WBPH has a very similar gene ontological distribution to other two closely related rice planthoppers, Nilaparvata lugens and Laodelphax striatellus. 7291 microsatellite loci were also predicted which could be useful for further evolutionary analysis. Furthermore, comparative analysis of the two transcriptomes generated from viruliferous and non-viruliferous WBPH provided a list of candidate transcripts that potentially were elicited as a response to viral infection. Pathway analyses of a subset of these transcripts indicated that SRBSDV infection may perturb primary metabolism and the ubiquitin-proteasome pathways. In addition, 5.5% (181 out of 3315) of the genes in cell cytoskeleton organization pathway showed obvious changes. Our data also demonstrated that SRBSDV infection activated the immunity regulatory systems of WBPH, such as RNA interference, autophagy and antimicrobial peptide production. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: We employed massively parallel pyrosequencing to collect ESTs from viruliferous and non-viruliferous samples of WBPH. 81388 different unigenes have been obtained. We for the first time described the direct effects of a Reoviridae family plant virus on global gene expression profiles of its insect vector using high-throughput sequencing. Our study will provide a road map for future investigations of the fascinating interactions between Reoviridae viruses and their insect vectors, and provide new strategies for crop protection.
