Dual species dynamic transcripts reveal the interaction mechanisms between Chrysanthemum morifolium and Alternaria alternata.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) black spot disease caused by Alternaria alternata is one of the plant's most destructive diseases. Dual RNA-seq was performed to simultaneously assess their transcriptomes to analyze the potential interaction mechanism between the two species, i.e., host and pathogen.

Results

C. morifolium and A. alternata were subjected to dual RNA-seq at 1, 12, and 24 h after inoculation, and differential expression genes (DEGs) in both species were identified. This analysis confirmed 153,532 DEGs in chrysanthemum and 14,932 DEGs in A. alternata, which were involved in plant-fungal interactions and phytohormone signaling. Fungal DEGs such as toxin synthesis related enzyme and cell wall degrading enzyme genes played important roles during chrysanthemum infection. Moreover, a series of key genes highly correlated with the early, middle, or late infection stage were identified, together with the regulatory network of key genes annotated in the Plant Resistance Genes database (PRGdb) or Pathogen-Host Interactions database (PHI-base). Highly correlated genes were identified at the late infection stage, expanding our understanding of the interplay between C. morifolium and A. alternata. Additionally, six DEGs each from chrysanthemum and A. alternata were selected for quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assays to validate the RNA-seq output.

Conclusions

Collectively, data obtained in this study enriches the resources available for research into the interactions that exist between chrysanthemum and A. alternata, thereby providing a theoretical basis for the development of new chrysanthemum cultivars with resistance to pathogen.

Project description:Purpose:In this study, we observed the effect of exogenous melatonin on the proliferation and pathogenicity of Alternaria alternata, judged the biological function of melatonin on Alternaria alternata, and found the key genes of melatonin regulating Alternaria alternata traits at the transcription level by RNA SEQ, and preliminarily revealed its mechanism of action. Methods:SNA medium with melatonin concentration of 50, 100, 500, 1000 and 1500 μ m was prepared and 30 ml plate was made. Take sterilized circular filter paper with a diameter of 1 cm, add 100 UL 50 CFU / cm3 spore suspension, transfer to SNA medium center, and culture upside down for 7 days Results:In this study, 20 metabolic pathways with the most significant KEGG enrichment were selected from the four control groups by P value analysis (Fig. 9). In 500 μ m vs control group, DEGs were mainly enriched in ribosome, glyoxylic acid and dicarboxylic acid metabolism pathways. In 1500 μ m vs control group, the metabolic pathways such as glyoxylic acid and dicarboxylic acid metabolism, valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation, ketone body synthesis and degradation, terpenoid main chain biosynthesis were the most significant; in 500 μ m vs 1500 μ m, DEGs were mainly enriched in eukaryotic ribosome biosynthesis and RNA polymerase pathway; 500 μ m vs 1500 μ M Compared with the control treatment, DEGs were significantly enriched among the three groups, and the pathways were rich, such as amino acid metabolism, glyoxylic acid and dicarboxylic acid metabolism, valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation, glyceride metabolism, glycolysis / gluconeogenesis, ABC transporter and so on. Conclusions:Nine DEGs related to the development and pathogenesis of streptozospora were obtained by transcriptional sequencing. The results showed that melatonin involved aflatoxin biosynthesis (sld1 and sld2, s-adenosine-l-methionine dependent methyltransferase synthesis), MAPK signal pathway (GLP), linoleic acid metabolism (HP1), heme peroxidase synthesis ）The results showed that the metabolism of selenium (THR), protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum (KHP, 30kda heat shock protein synthesis), glycolysis / glycometagenesis (PPL), and synthesis of non reductive poly ketoacetase (NPS) and heme peroxidase (HP2) were also studied. Among them, THR is related to proliferation regulation [49], sld1, sld2, NPs and ppl are related to pathogenicity , GLP is related to colony growth and pathogenicity, KHP is related to stress , HP1 and HP2 are related to antioxidant activity .
