Project description:Symbiotic legume nodules and lateral roots arise away from the root meristem via dedifferentiation events. While these organs share some morphological and developmental similarities, whether legume nodules are modified lateral roots is an open question. We dissected emerging nodules (EN), mature nodules (MN), emerging lateral roots (ELR) and young lateral roots (YLR), and constructed strand-specific RNAseq libraries using polyA-enriched RNA preparations. Root sections above and below these organs devoid of any lateral organs were used to construct respective control tissue libraries (ABEN, ABMN, ABELR, ABYLR respectively). High sequence quality, predominant mapping to coding sequences, and consistency between replicates indicated that the RNAseq libraries were of very high quality. We identified genes enriched in emerging nodules, mature nodules, emerging lateral roots and young lateral roots in soybean by comparing global gene expression profiles between each of these organs and adjacent root segments. Potential uses for this high quality transcriptome data set include generation of global gene regulatory networks to identify key regulators; metabolic pathway analyses and comparative analysis of key gene families to discover organ-specific biological processes; and identification of organ-specific alternate spliced transcripts. When combined with other similar datasets especially from leguminous plants these analyses can help answer questions on the evolutionary origins of root nodules and relationships between the development of different plant lateral organs.

Project description:Metabolomics and transcriptomics of Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens-induced root nodules Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens is a nitrogen-fixing endosymbiont, which can grow inside root-nodule cells of the agriculturally important soybean and other host plants. Our previous studies described B. diazoefficiens host-specific global expression changes occurring during legume infection at the transcript and protein level. In order to further characterize nodule metabolism, we here determine by flow injection -time of flight mass spectrometry analysis the metabolome of i) nodules and roots from four different B. diazoefficiens host plants, ii) soybean nodules harvested at different time points during nodule development, and iii) soybean nodules infected by two strains mutated in key genes for nitrogen fixation, respectively. Ribose (soybean), tartaric acid (mungbean), hydroxybutanoyloxybutanoate (siratro) and catechol (cowpea) were among the metabolites found to be specifically elevated in one of the respective host plants. While the level of C4-dicarboxylic acids decreased during soybean nodule development, we observed an accumulation of trehalose-phosphate at 21 days post infection (dpi). Moreover, nodules from non-nitrogen-fixing bacteroids (nifA and nifH mutants) showed specific metabolic alterations; these were also supported by transcriptomics data that was generated for the two mutant strains and were helpful to separate for some examples the respective bacterial and plant contributions to the metabolic profile. The alterations included signs of nitrogen limitation in both mutants, and an increased level of a phytoalexin in nodules induced by the nifA mutant, suggesting that the tissue of these nodules exhibits defense and stress reactions.

Project description:Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a major limitation for legume crop production. Although overall adaptations of plant roots to P deficiency have been extensively studied, fragmentary information is available in regards to root nodule responses to P deficiency. In this study, genome wide transcriptome analysis was conducted using RNA-seq analysis to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying soybean (Glycine max) nodule adaptation to phosphate (Pi) starvation. Phosphorus deficiency significantly decreased soybean nodule growth and nitrogenase activity. Nodule Pi concentrations declined by 49% in response to P deficiency, but this was well below the 87% and 88% decreases observed in shoots and roots, respectively. Nodule transcript profiling revealed that a total of 2,055 genes exhibited differential expression patterns between Pi sufficient and deficient conditions. A set of DEGs appeared to be involved in maintaining Pi homeostasis in soybean nodules, including 8 Pi transporters (PTs), 8 proteins containing the SYG1/PHO81/XPR1 domain (SPXs), and 16 purple acid phosphatases (PAPs). The results suggest that a complex transcriptional regulatory network participates in soybean nodule adaption to Pi starvation, most notable a Pi signaling pathway specifically involved in maintaining Pi homeostasis in nodules.

Project description:affy_med_2011_06 - affy_med_2011_06 - Legume plants establish a symbiotic interaction with soil bacteria called rhizobia. A complex molecular dialogue between the two partners is necessary for the successful infection and organogenesis processes that will ultimately result in the formation of a nitrogen fixing nodule. During a M. truncatula Tnt1 mutant screen, a new class of symbiotic mutant called noot (nodule root) was identified. This original single recessive mutant develops a root in apical position of nodules that are colonized by bacteria and functional for nitrogen fixation. This conversion suggests that the legume nodule morphogenetic pathway may be derived from a root program. We cloned the NOOT gene and showed that it corresponds to Pisum sativum COCH (Ferguson and Reid, 2005, Plant Cell Physiol 46, 1583-1589). The goal of this project is to compare the transcriptomes from wild type nodules and roots to the noot nodule one. This will allow us to unravel the similarity and differences between the wild type and mutant nodule transcriptomes but also to know which developmental pathway is under the control of the NOOT gene. --Seeds of the WT and noot mutant lines (two mutant alleles: Tnk507 and NF2717) were surface sterilized and placed at 4°C for three days on a minimal BNM medium square plate (12cm X 12cm). Seeds were germinated at room temperature and 10 seeds were placed in a row on nitrogen poor (BNM) plate. Seedlings were inoculated using Sinorhizobium meliloti Rm41 for nodule production. Some WT plants were not infected by the bacteria in order to collect roots. Nodules and roots were harvested 18 to 21 days post inoculation. Each experimental repetition (3 WT nodules, 3 WT roots and 2 mutant nodules of each allele) was harvested at a separated day. RNA preparations were done using a Quiagen Kit. 10 arrays - Medicago; gene knock out,organ comparison

Project description:Legumes establish endosymbiotic associations with nitrogen-fixing rhizobia, which they host inside root nodules. Here, specific physiological and morphological adaptations, such as the production of oxygen-binding leghemoglobin proteins and the formation of an oxygen diffusion barrier in the nodule periphery, are essential to protect the oxygen-labile bacterial nitrogenase enzyme. The molecular basis of the latter process remains elusive, as the identification of required genes is limited by the epistatic effect of nodule organogenesis over nodule infection and rhizobia accommodation. We overcame this by exploring the phenotypic diversity of Lotus japonicus accessions that uncouple nodule organogenesis from nodule infection when inoculated with a sub-compatible Rhizobium strain. Using comparative transcriptomics, we identified genes with functions associated with oxygen homeostasis and deposition of lipid polyesters on cell walls to be specifically upregulated in infected compared to uninfected nodules. As such hydrophobic modifications on cell walls are pivotal for creating diffusion barriers like the root endodermis, we focused on two Fatty acyl-CoA reductase genes that were specifically activated in the nodule or in the root endodermis. Mutant lines in a Fatty acyl-CoA reductase gene expressed exclusively in the nodule endodermis showed had decreased suberization of this cell layer and increased nodule permeability compared to wild type plants. Oxygen concentrations were significantly increased in the inner cortex of mutant nodules, which correlated with reduced nitrogen fixation rates, and impaired shoot growth. These results provide the first genetic evidence for the formation of the nodule oxygen diffusion barrier, a key adaptation enabling nitrogen fixation in legume nodules.
