Insights into the Role of Streptomyces hydrogenans as the Plant Growth Promoter, Photosynthetic Pigment Enhancer and Biocontrol Agent against Meloidogyne incognita in Solanum lycopersicum Seedlings.

ABSTRACT: Root-knot nematodes (RKN), Meloidogyne sp. hinders functioning of crops and causes global losses in terms of productivity and yield. Meloidogyne sp. are microscopic, obligatory endoparasites with ubiquitous distribution in different parts of the world. Taking into consideration these aspects, the present study was conducted to explore nematicidal activity of the Streptomyces hydrogenans strain DH-16 against M. incognita to regulate its pathogenicity in plants. In-vitro experimentation revealed that pretreated seeds with solvent and culture supernatant lowered root galls in infested plants and promoted growth of Solanum lycopersicum seedlings, revealed through the morphological analysis. Additionally, antioxidative defense responses were induced with microbes. However, oxidative stress markers were considerably reduced after microbial inoculations. Apart from this, secondary metabolites were assessed and modulated in RKN infested plants on microbial supplementations. Confocal studies evaluated glutathione accumulation within root apices and its enhancement was directly proportional to defense responses. Therefore, the current study concluded the role of S. hydrogenans in stimulating antioxidant potential against RKN along with growth promoting aids. Thus, the outcome of the current study endorses that metabolites produced by S. hydrogenans can be used as safe biocontrol agents against M. incognita and also as plant growth promoting agents.

Project description:BackgroundSolanum torvum Sw is worldwide employed as rootstock for eggplant cultivation because of its vigour and resistance/tolerance to the most serious soil-borne diseases as bacterial, fungal wilts and root-knot nematodes. The little information on Solanum torvum (hereafter Torvum) resistance mechanisms, is mostly attributable to the lack of genomic tools (e.g. dedicated microarray) as well as to the paucity of database information limiting high-throughput expression studies in Torvum.ResultsAs a first step towards transcriptome profiling of Torvum inoculated with the nematode M. incognita, we built a Torvum 3' transcript catalogue. One-quarter of a 454 full run resulted in 205,591 quality-filtered reads. De novo assembly yielded 24,922 contigs and 11,875 singletons. Similarity searches of the S. torvum transcript tags catalogue produced 12,344 annotations. A 30,0000 features custom combimatrix chip was then designed and microarray hybridizations were conducted for both control and 14 dpi (day post inoculation) with Meloidogyne incognita-infected roots samples resulting in 390 differentially expressed genes (DEG). We also tested the chip with samples from the phylogenetically-related nematode-susceptible eggplant species Solanum melongena. An in-silico validation strategy was developed based on assessment of sequence similarity among Torvum probes and eggplant expressed sequences available in public repositories. GO term enrichment analyses with the 390 Torvum DEG revealed enhancement of several processes as chitin catabolism and sesquiterpenoids biosynthesis, while no GO term enrichment was found with eggplant DEG.The genes identified from S. torvum catalogue, bearing high similarity to known nematode resistance genes, were further investigated in view of their potential role in the nematode resistance mechanism.ConclusionsBy combining 454 pyrosequencing and microarray technology we were able to conduct a cost-effective global transcriptome profiling in a non-model species. In addition, the development of an in silico validation strategy allowed to further extend the use of the custom chip to a related species and to assess by comparison the expression of selected genes without major concerns of artifacts. The expression profiling of S. torvum responses to nematode infection points to sesquiterpenoids and chitinases as major effectors of nematode resistance. The availability of the long sequence tags in S. torvum catalogue will allow precise identification of active nematocide/nematostatic compounds and associated enzymes posing the basis for exploitation of these resistance mechanisms in other species.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The Mi-1 gene was the first identified and cloned gene that provides resistance to root-knot nematodes (RKNs) in cultivated tomato. However, owing to its temperature sensitivity, this gene does not meet the need for breeding disease-resistant plants that grow under high temperature. In this study, Mi-3 was isolated from the wild species PI 126443 (LA3858) and was shown to display heat-stable resistance to RKNs. However, the mechanism that regulates this resistance remains unknown. RESULTS:In this study, 4760, 1024 and 137 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were enriched on the basis of pairwise comparisons (34?°C vs. 25?°C) at 0 (before inoculation), 3 and 6?days post-inoculation (dpi), respectively. A total of 7035 DEGs were identified from line LA3858 in the respective groups under the different soil temperature treatments. At 3 dpi, most DEGs were enriched in Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways related to plant biotic responses, such as "plant-pathogen interaction" and "plant hormone signal transduction". Significantly enriched DEGs were found to encode key proteins such as R proteins and heat-shock proteins (HSPs). Moreover, other DEGs were found to participate in Ca2+ signal transduction; the production of ROS; DEGs encoding transcription factors (TFs) from the bHLH, TGA, ERF, heat-shock transcription factor (HSF) and WRKY families were highly expressed, which contribute to be involved into the formation of phytohormones, such as salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET), the expression of most was upregulated at 3 dpi at the 25?°C soil temperature compared with the 34?°C soil temperature. CONCLUSION:Taken together, the results of our study revealed reliable candidate genes from wild materials LA3858, that are related to Mi-3-mediate resistance to Meloidogyne incognita. A large number of vital pathways and DEGs were expressed specifically in accession LA3858 grown at 34?°C and 25?°C soil temperatures at 3 dpi. Upon infection by RKNs, pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) specifically recognized conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) as a result of pathogen-triggered immunity (PTI), and the downstream defensive signal transduction pathway was likely activated through Ca2+ signal channels. The expression of various TFs was induced to synthesize phytohormones and activate R proteins related to resistance, resulting in the development of effector-triggered immunity (ETI). Last, a hypersensitive response in the roots occurred, which was probably induced by the accumulation of ROS.
