Non-Targeted Metabolite Profiling Reveals Host Metabolomic Reprogramming during the Interaction of Black Pepper with Phytophthora capsici.

ABSTRACT: Phytophthora capsici is one of the most destructive pathogens causing quick wilt (foot rot) disease in black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) to which no effective resistance has been defined. To better understand the P. nigrum-P. capsici pathosystem, we employed metabolomic approaches based on flow-infusion electrospray-high-resolution mass spectrometry. Changes in the leaf metabolome were assessed in infected and systemic tissues at 24 and 48 hpi. Principal Component Analysis of the derived data indicated that the infected leaves showed a rapid metabolic response by 24 hpi whereas the systemic leaves took 48 hpi to respond to the infection. The major sources of variations between infected leaf and systemic leaf were identified, and enrichment pathway analysis indicated, major shifts in amino acid, tricarboxylic acid cycle, nucleotide and vitamin B6 metabolism upon infection. Moreover, the individual metabolites involved in defensive phytohormone signalling were identified. RT-qPCR analysis of key salicylate and jasmonate biosynthetic genes indicated a transient reduction of expression at 24 hpi but this increased subsequently. Exogenous application of jasmonate and salicylate reduced P. capsici disease symptoms, but this effect was suppressed with the co-application of abscisic acid. The results are consistent with abscisic acid reprogramming, salicylate and jasmonate defences in infected leaves to facilitate the formation of disease. The augmentation of salicylate and jasmonate defences could represent an approach through which quick wilt disease could be controlled in black pepper.

Identification of stable reference gene for transcript normalization in black pepper-<i>Phytophthora capsici</i> pathosystem.

Project description:A systematic validation of reference genes is a pre-requisite for the proper normalization of gene transcripts. In the present study, the annotated sequences from black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) leaf transcriptome were used as reference genes namely actin (PnACT), glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase (PnGAPDH), β-tubulin (PnTUB), ubiquitin conjugating enzyme (PnUBCE), 18srRNA and elongation factor-1-α (PnElF) to identify the stable reference gene. We focused the selection of stable reference gene on important biotic stress (Phytophthora) with different algorithms (geNorm, NormFinder and BestKeeper) along with Reffinder which resulted in identification of PnGAPDH and PnUBCE as stable genes. Norm qPCR (R package) was also used to estimate the stability of the selected genes. We elucidated the expression patterns of a target gene PnBGLU which codes for 1,3 beta glucanase with most stable as well as least stable reference genes by which the importance of selecting the stable gene for gene expression studies in this system was emphasized. The mean expression levels of PnBGLU was significantly overestimated and misinterpreted when least stable reference gene was used as normalizer. The selected reference genes on further analysis of the expression dynamics of PnBGLU among resistant and susceptible genotypes showed PnGAPDH as the suitable reference gene for P. nigrum-P. capsici pathosystem.

effecaps-phytophthora capsici project: Phytophthora capsici Illumina RNAseq transcriptome of two isolates, one adapted to pepper, another non adapted, in two pepper accessions, one partially resistant and one susceptible to Phytophthora capsici

Project description:ngs2013_07_pcapsici-effecaps-phytophthora capsici-The analysed RNAseq concerned the oomycete Phytophthora capsici in growth on pepper plants. 1/ How the adaptation of a pathogen to a host depends on its gene expression? 2/ How the plant host impacts the expression of pathogen genes at the very beginning of infection?-Two isolates of Phytophthora capsici were used: the Pc107 isolate (called A for adapted to pepper from INRAE GAFL Avignon), and the Pc273 isolate (N for non-adapted to pepper, collected on pumpkin in the USA). Two accessions of pepper (Capsicum annuum L., the host) were used: Yolo Wonder (YW, PM0031), susceptible (S) to Phytophthora capsici, and Criollo de Morelos 334 (CM334, PM0702), partially resistant (R). Inoculations were performed, as described in Lefebvre and Palloix (1996), by putting on the wounded stem a plug of mycelium. Inoculated plants were transferred to a growth chamber at 24°C/22°C temperature on a 12h/12h light/dark cycle. At 24 hours-post-inoculation, 12 total RNA samples were extracted from inoculated plants for the 4 host-isolate interactions: R_A, S_A, R_N and S_N. Each sample consisted of six pooled stem fragments. The stem fragments are the 5-mm region immediately under the visible stem necrosis. Samples were flash-frozen in liquid-nitrogen and stored at -80ºC. They were ground in liquid nitrogen with a cold mortar and pestle. Total RNA was extracted using QIAGEN Rneasy Plant Mini Kit. RNA-seq libraries were constructed at IPS2 POPS platform (France) by TruSeq_Stranded_mRNA_SamplePrep_Guide_15031047_D protocol (Illumina®, California, USA). Sequencing was conducted on an Illumina Hiseq2000 hosted by Genoscope (Evry, France). The RNA-seq samples have been sequenced in paired-end (PE) with a sizing of 260 bp and a read length of 100 bases, lane repartition and barcoding giving approximately 35 million of paired-end reads per sample.

BABA and Phytophthora nicotianae Induce Resistance to Phytophthora capsici in Chile Pepper (Capsicum annuum).

Project description:Induced resistance in plants is a systemic response to certain microorganisms or chemicals that enhances basal defense responses during subsequent plant infection by pathogens. Inoculation of chile pepper with zoospores of non-host Phytophthora nicotianae or the chemical elicitor beta-aminobutyric acid (BABA) significantly inhibited foliar blight caused by Phytophthora capsici. Tissue extract analyses by GC/MS identified conserved change in certain metabolite concentrations following P. nicotianae or BABA treatment. Induced chile pepper plants had reduced concentrations of sucrose and TCA cycle intermediates and increased concentrations of specific hexose-phosphates, hexose-disaccharides and amino acids. Galactose, which increased significantly in induced chile pepper plants, was shown to inhibit growth of P. capsici in a plate assay.

<i>Phytophthora capsici</i> infection causes dynamic alterations in tRNA modifications and their associated gene candidates in black pepper.

Project description:The efforts to signify the relevance of tRNA modifications were always within the limits of prokaryotes, humans, and some fewer model plant systems. The story of tRNA modifications in higher plants is still overlooked, especially in non-model spice crops. Stress causes alterations in tRNA modifications to facilitate the downstream functions of tRNAs. The present study was done to identify and better understand the fate of tRNA nucleoside modifications during biotic stress response in a widely used spice crop called Black pepper. We have uncovered the various tRNA nucleoside modifications present in black pepper. Methylations were the predominant nucleoside modifications in black pepper tRNAs. Furthermore, the different methyltransferase gene candidates implicated in catalyzing tRNA nucleoside methylations in black pepper were also identified. The LC-MS profile showed that certain tRNA nucleoside modifications showed varied abundance upon P. capsici infection. The N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) nucleoside modification has shown a constant hike at 24 and 48 hpi. At the same time, some nucleoside modifications have exhibited a time-dependent abundance. Altogether our study suggests that tRNA modifications and the expression of associated enzymes are altered during biotic stress regulation.

Biocontrol of Phytophthora Blight and Anthracnose in Pepper by Sequentially Selected Antagonistic Rhizobacteria against Phytophthora capsici.

Project description:We previously developed a sequential screening procedure to select antagonistic bacterial strains against Phytophthora capsici in pepper plants. In this study, we used a modified screening procedure to select effective biocontrol strains against P. capsici; we evaluated the effect of selected strains on Phytophthora blight and anthracnose occurrence and fruit yield in pepper plants under field and plastic house conditions from 2007 to 2009. We selected four potential biocontrol strains (Pseudomonas otitidis YJR27, P. putida YJR92, Tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens YJR102, and Novosphingobium capsulatum YJR107) among 239 bacterial strains. In the 3-year field tests, all the selected strains significantly (P < 0.05) reduced Phytophthora blight without influencing rhizosphere microbial populations; they showed similar or better levels of disease suppressions than in metalaxyl treatment in the 2007 and 2009 tests, but not in the 2008 test. In the 2-year plastic house tests, all the selected strains significantly (P < 0.05) reduced anthracnose incidence in at least one of the test years, but their biocontrol activities were variable. In addition, strains YJR27, YJR92, and YJR102, in certain harvests, increased pepper fruit numbers in field tests and red fruit weights in plastic house tests. Taken together, these results indicate that the screening procedure is rapid and reliable for the selection of potential biocontrol strains against P. capsici in pepper plants. In addition, these selected strains exhibited biocontrol activities against anthracnose, and some of the strains showed plant growth-promotion activities on pepper fruit.

Identification of Pepper CaSBP08 Gene in Defense Response Against Phytophthora capsici Infection.

Project description:Little information is available on the role of Squamosa promoter binding protein (SBP)-box genes in pepper plants. This family of genes is known to have transcription characteristics specific to plants and to regulate plant growth, development, stress responses, and signal transduction. To investigate their specific effects in pepper (Capsicum annuum), we screened pepper SBP-box family genes (CaSBP genes) for Phytophthora capsici (P. capsici) resistance genes using virus-induced gene silencing. CaSBP08, CaSBP11, CaSBP12, and CaSBP13, which are associated with plant defense responses against P. capsici, were obtained from among fifteen identified CaSBP genes. The function of CaSBP08 was identified in pepper defense response against P. capsici infection in particular. CaSBP08 protein was localized to the nucleus. Silencing of CaSBP08 enhanced resistance to P. capsici infection. Following P. capsici inoculation, the malondialdehyde content, peroxidase activity, and disease index percentage of the CaSBP08-silenced plants decreased compared to the control. Additionally, the expression levels of other defense-related genes, especially those of CaBPR1 and CaSAR8.2, were more strongly induced in CaSBP08-silenced plants than in the control. However, CaSBP08 overexpression in Nicotiana benthamiana enhanced susceptibility to P. capsici infection. This work provides a foundation for the further research on the role of CaSBP genes in plant defense responses against P. capsici infection.

Transfer RNA Derived Small RNAs Targeting Defense Responsive Genes Are Induced during Phytophthora capsici Infection in Black Pepper (Piper nigrum L.).

Project description:Small RNAs derived from transfer RNAs were recently assigned as potential gene regulatory candidates for various stress responses in eukaryotes. In this study, we report on the cloning and identification of tRNA derived small RNAs from black pepper plants in response to the infection of the quick wilt pathogen, Phytophthora capsici. 5'tRFs cloned from black pepper were validated as highly expressed during P. capsici infection. A high-throughput systematic analysis of the small RNAome (sRNAome) revealed the predominance of 5'tRFs in the infected leaf and root. The abundance of 5'tRFs in the sRNAome and the defense responsive genes as their potential targets indicated their regulatory role during stress response in black pepper. The 5'Ala(CGC) tRF mediated cleavage was experimentally mapped at the tRF binding sites on the mRNA targets of Non-expresser of pathogenesis related protein (NPR1), which was down-regulated during pathogen infection. Comparative sRNAome further demonstrated sequence conservation of 5'Ala tRFs across the angiosperm plant groups, and many important genes in the defense response were identified in silico as their potential targets. Our findings uncovered the diversity, differential expression and stress responsive functional role of tRNA-derived small RNAs during Phytophthora infection in black pepper.

Characteristic of the pepper CaRGA2 gene in defense responses against Phytophthora capsici Leonian.

Project description:The most significant threat to pepper production worldwide is the Phytophthora blight, which is caused by the oomycete pathogen, Phytophthora capsici Leonian. In an effort to help control this disease, we isolated and characterized a P. capsici resistance gene, CaRGA2, from a high resistant pepper (C. annuum CM334) and analyzed its function by the method of real-time PCR and virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS). The CaRGA2 has a full-length cDNA of 3,018 bp with 2,874 bp open reading frame (ORF) and encodes a 957-aa protein. The protein has a predicted molecular weight of 108.6 kDa, and the isoelectric point is 8.106. Quantitative real-time PCR indicated that CaRGA2 expression was rapidly induced by P. capsici. The gene expression pattern was different between the resistant and susceptible cultivars. CaRGA2 was quickly expressed in the resistant cultivar, CM334, and reached to a peak at 24 h after inoculation with P. capsici, five-fold higher than that of susceptible cultivar. Our results suggest that CaRGA2 has a distinct pattern of expression and plays a critical role in P. capsici stress tolerance. When the CaRGA2 gene was silenced via VIGS, the resistance level was clearly suppressed, an observation that was supported by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and detached leave inoculation. VIGS analysis revealed their importance in the surveillance to P. capsici in pepper. Our results support the idea that the CaRGA2 gene may show their response in resistance against P. capsici. These analyses will aid in an effort towards breeding for broad and durable resistance in economically important pepper cultivars.

Tissue-specific synergistic bio-priming of pepper by two Streptomyces species against Phytophthora capsici.

Project description:Among several studied strains, Streptomyces rochei IT20 and S. vinaceusdrappus SS14 showed a high level of inhibitory effect against Phytophthora capsici, the causal agent of pepper blight. The effect of two mentioned superior antagonists, as single or combination treatments, on suppression of stem and fruit blight diseases and reproductive growth promotion was investigated in pepper. To explore the induced plant defense reactions, ROS generation and transcriptional changes of selected genes in leaf and fruit tissues of the plant were evaluated. The plants exposed to the combination of two species responded differently in terms of H2O2 accumulation and expression ratio of GST gene compared to single treatments upon pathogen inoculation. Besides, the increment of shoot length, flowering, and fruit weight were observed in healthy plants compared to control. Likely, these changes depended on the coordinated relationships between PR1, ACCO genes and transcription factors WRKY40 enhanced after pathogen challenge. Our findings indicate that appropriate tissue of the host plant is required for inducing Streptomyces-based priming and relied on the up-regulation of SUS and differential regulation of ethylene-dependent genes.

De novo transcriptome sequencing of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) and an analysis of genes involved in phenylpropanoid metabolism in response to Phytophthora capsici.

Project description:BackgroundPiper nigrum L., or "black pepper", is an economically important spice crop in tropical regions. Black pepper production is markedly affected by foot rot disease caused by Phytophthora capsici, and genetic improvement of black pepper is essential for combating foot rot diseases. However, little is known about the mechanism of anti- P. capsici in black pepper. The molecular mechanisms underlying foot rot susceptibility were studied by comparing transcriptome analysis between resistant (Piper flaviflorum) and susceptible (Piper nigrum cv. Reyin-1) black pepper species.Results116,432 unigenes were acquired from six libraries (three replicates of resistant and susceptible black pepper samples), which were integrated by applying BLAST similarity searches and noted by adopting Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Gene Ontology (GO) genome orthology identifiers. The reference transcriptome was mapped using two sets of digital gene expression data. Using GO enrichment analysis for the differentially expressed genes, the majority of the genes associated with the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway were identified in P. flaviflorum. In addition, the expression of genes revealed that after susceptible and resistant species were inoculated with P. capsici, the majority of genes incorporated in the phenylpropanoid metabolism pathway were up-regulated in both species. Among various treatments and organs, all the genes were up-regulated to a relatively high degree in resistant species. Phenylalanine ammonia lyase and peroxidase enzyme activity increased in susceptible and resistant species after inoculation with P. capsici, and the resistant species increased faster. The resistant plants retain their vascular structure in lignin revealed by histochemical analysis.ConclusionsOur data provide critical information regarding target genes and a technological basis for future studies of black pepper genetic improvements, including transgenic breeding.
