A genome-wide view of transcriptional responses during Aphis glycines Matsumura infestation in soybean

ABSTRACT: Soybean aphid is one of the major limiting factors for soybean production. However, the mechanism for aphid resistance in soybean is remain enigmatic, very little information is available about the different mechanisms between antibiosis and antixenosis genotypes. Here we dissected aphid infestation into three stages and used genome-wide gene expression profiling to investigate the underlying aphid-plant interaction mechanisms. Approximately 990 million raw reads in total were obtained, the high expression correlation in each genotype between infestation and non-infestation indicated that the response to aphid was controlled by a small subset of important genes. Moreover, plant response to aphid infestation was more rapid in resistant genotypes. Among the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), a total of 901 transcription factor (TF) genes categorized to 40 families were identified with distinct expression patterns, of which AP2/ERF, MYB and WRKY families were proposed to playing dominated roles. Gene expression profiling demonstrated that these genes had either similar or distinct expression patterns in genotypes. Besides, JA-responsive pathway was domination in aphid-soybean interaction compared to SA pathway, which was not involved plant response to aphid in susceptible and antixenotic genotypes but played an important role in antibiosis one. Throughout, callose were deposited in all genotypes but it was more rapidly and efficiently in antibiotic one. However, reactive oxygen species were not involved in response to aphid attack in resistant genotypes during aphid infestation. Our study helps uncover important genes associated with aphid-attack response in antibiosis and antixenotic genotypes of soybean.

Project description:Aphid attack induces defense responses in plants activating several signaling cascades that led to the production of toxic, repellent or antinutritive compounds and the consequent reorganization of the plant primary metabolism. Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) leaf proteomic response against Myzus persicae (Sulzer) has been investigated and analyzed by LC-MS/MS coupled with bioinformatics tools. Infestation with an initially low density (20 aphids/plant) of aphids restricted to a single leaf taking advantage of clip cages resulted in 6 differentially expressed proteins relative to control leaves (3 proteins at 2 days post-infestation and 3 proteins at 4 days post-infestation). Conversely, when plants were infested with a high density of infestation (200 aphids/plant) 140 proteins resulted differentially expressed relative to control leaves (97 proteins at 2 days post-infestation, 112 proteins at 4 days post-infestation and 105 proteins at 7 days post-infestation). The majority of proteins altered by aphid attack were involved in photosynthesis and photorespiration, oxidative stress, translation, protein folding and degradation and amino acid metabolism. Other proteins identified were involved in lipid, carbohydrate and hormone metabolism, transcription, transport, energy production and cell organization. However proteins directly involved in defense were scarce and were mostly downregulated in response to aphids. The unexpectedly very low number of regulated proteins found in the experiment with a low aphid density suggests an active mitigation of plant defensive response by aphids or alternatively an aphid strategy to remain undetected by the plant. Under a high density of aphids, pepper leaf proteome however changed significantly revealing nearly all routes of plant primary metabolism being altered. Photosynthesis was so far the process with the highest number of proteins being regulated by the presence of aphids. In general, at short times of infestation (2 days) most of the altered proteins were upregulated. However, at longer times of infestation (7 days) the protein downregulation prevailed. Proteins involved in plant defense and in hormone signaling were scarce and mostly downregulated.

Project description:The bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi L.) (Homoptera: Aphididae) is an important pest on cereals causing plant growth reduction but no specific leaf symptoms. Breeding of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) for R. padi resistance shows that there are several resistance genes involved, reducing aphid growth. In an attempt to identify candidate sequences for resistance-related genes, we performed a microarray analysis of gene expression after two days of aphid infestation in two susceptible barley lines and two genotypes with partial resistance. One of the four lines is a descendant of two of the other genotypes. The analysis revealed large differences in gene induction between the four lines, indicating substantial variation in response even between closely related genotypes. Genes induced in the aphid-infested tissue were mainly related to defence, primary metabolism and signalling. Only twenty-four genes were induced in all lines, none of them related to oxidative stress or secondary metabolism. Few genes were down-regulated and none of those was common to all four lines. There were differences in aphid-induced gene regulation between resistant and susceptible lines, and results from control plants without aphids also revealed differences in constitutive gene expression between the two types of lines. Candidate sequences for both induced and constitutive resistance factors have been identified, among them a proteinase inhibitor, a Ser/Thr kinase and several thionins. Experiment Overall Design: Four barley genotypes, two (Lina, Kara) with susceptibility to the bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi) and two (Hsp5, 28:4) with partial resistance, were infested with R. padi. After 48 h of aphid feeding, changes in transcript accumulation were analysed by comparing aphid-infested plants with control (uninfested) plants for each genotype. For each treatment, 3 biological replicates were analysed. Overlaps and differences in regulation of RNA abundance were identified between the four genotypes. 28:4 is a descendant of Hsp5 and Lina.
