Project description:Tomato is one of the most important crops for human consumption. Unfortunately, its production is affected by diseases caused by pathogens such as the actynomicete Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganens (Cmm). This pathogen is the causal agent of the bacterial canker of tomato, considered one of the most devastating tomato diseases. To date, there are not resistant varieties of commercial tomato against Cmm. However, there are wild tomato species resistant to Cmm. Using massive sequencing, we obtained the transcriptomes of the wild tomato species Solanum arcanum LA2157 and the commercial tomato Solanum lycopersicum cv. Ailsa Craig at 8 and 24 hours after Cmm challenge. We identified potential tomato tolerance-related genes by three approaches: mapping the reads to S. lycopersicum reference genome SL3.0, performing a semi de novo transcriptome assembly and a de novo transcriptome assembly. Some functional groups such as oxylipin biosynthetic process response to wounding, response to cytokinin among others, were enriched in both tomato species, suggesting a similar response, however, genes that encode proteins such as the Polyphenol oxidase E, Ankyrin and Leucine Rich Repeat receptors were overexpressed mainly in the wild tomato species, suggesting a possible role in the defense response. Here, we uncovered new candidate genes potentially related to bacterial canker tomato defense.

Project description:The biocontrol agent Pythium oligandrum, which is a member of phylum Oomycota, can control diseases caused by a taxonomically wide range of plant pathogens, including fungi, bacteria, and oomycetes. However, whether P. oligandrum could control diseases caused by plant root-knot nematodes (RKNs) was unknown. We investigated a recently isolated P. oligandrum strain GAQ1, and the P. oligandrum CBS530.74 strain, for the control of RKN Meloidogyne incognita infection of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Initially, P. oligandrum culture filtrates were found to be lethal to M. incognita second-stage juveniles (J2s) with up to 84% mortality at 24 h after treatment compared to 14% in the control group. Consistent with the lethality to M. incognita J2s, tomato roots treated with P. oligandrum culture filtrates reduced the attraction of nematodes, and the number of nematodes penetrating the roots was reduced by up to 78%. In a greenhouse pot trial, P. oligandrum GAQ1 inoculation of tomato plants significantly reduced the gall number by 58% in plants infected with M. incognita. Notably, P. oligandrum GAQ1 mycelial treatment significantly increased tomato plant height (by 36%), weight (by 27%), and root weight (by 48%). Transcriptome analysis of tomato seedling roots inoculated with the P. oligandrum GAQ1 strain identified ~2,500 differentially expressed genes. The enriched GO terms and annotations in the up-regulated genes suggested modulation of plant hormone-signaling and defense-related pathways in response to P. oligandrum. In conclusion, our results support that P. oligandrum GAQ1 can serve as a potential biocontrol agent for M. incognita control in tomato. Multiple mechanisms appear to contribute to the biocontrol effect involving direct inhibition of M. incognita, potential priming of tomato plant defenses, and plant growth promotion.

Project description:We constructed two independent small RNA libraries from leaves of mock and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) infected tomatoes, respectively, and sequenced with a high-throughput Illumina Solexa system. Based on sequence analysis and hairpin structure prediction, a total of 50 known miRNAs (32 families) and 568 potentially candidate miRNAs (PC-miRNAs) were firstly identified in tomato, with 12 known miRNAs and 154 PC-miRNAs supported by both the 3p and 5p strands. Comparative analysis revealed 79 miRNAs (including 15 novel tomato miRNAs) and 40 PC-miRNAs were differentially expressed between the two libraries. Among these virus responsive miRNAs, expression patters of some novel tomato miRNAs and PC-miRNAs in mock and in CMV-Fny infected tomatoes were further validated by qRT-PCR. Moreover, we revealed 563 potential targets for 66 tomato miRNAs by the recently developed degradome sequencing approach, including 124 targets for 7 new tomato miRNAs and 97 targets for 24 PC-miRNAs. Target annotation for the newly identified miRNA and PC-miRNAs indicated that they were involved in multiple biological processes, including transcriptional regulation and virus resistance. Gene ontology analysis of these target transcripts demonstrated that stress response- and photosynthesis-related genes were most affected in CMV-Fny infected tomatoes.

Project description:The steroid hormone brassinosteroids (BRs) play considerable roles in plant development and defence. Harnessing the extensive knowledge on Arabidopsis BR signalling network for improving productivity in crop species requires first to identify the conserved network components and their function in the target species. To investigate the function of SlBIM1a, the tomato closest homolog of AtBIM1, which is highly expressed in the developing fruit, we generated transgenic tomatoes, which overexpress or down-regulate SlBIM1a gene. Main alterations were observed in SlBIM1a overexpressing lines, which displayed a severe plant and fruit dwarfism. To unravel the molecular basis of phenotypical modifications in SlBIM1a overexpressing fruits, a microarray (Agilent) analysis was performed on Pro35S:SlBIM1aOX and WT fruits harvested at 15 DPA.

Project description:Pepino Mosaic Virus (PepMV) consists a major pathogenic threat in the greenhouses worldwide and has a devasting impact on tomato global production. PepMV belongs to the Potexvirus genus of the Flexiviridae family. PepMV has a viral RNA genome of approximately 6400 nucleotides long that contains five open reading frames (ORFs) and 4 major genotypes have been characterized. TomCr3, an indigenous virulent PepMV strain derived from the Chilean (CH2) genotype, was isolated in Crete, Greece and was used for the mechanical infection of Belladonna F1 hybrid tomato seedlings. Here, we present the results of a deep RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis performed to characterize the dynamic expression profile of tomato genes upon PepMV infection, including tomato transcription factors.

Project description:Anthocyanins are high value plant antioxidants which are not present in the fruits of cultivated tomato. However, both the dominant gene Anthocyanin fruit (Aft) and the recessive gene atroviolacea (atv), introgressed into domesticated tomato from two different wild Solanum species, stimulate a limited anthocyanin pigmentation. Surprisingly, double mutant Aft/Aft atv/atv tomatoes are characterised by the presence of anthocyanins in the fruit peel, resulting in intensely purple pigmented fruit. We carried out a transcript profiling analysis using GeneChip® Tomato Genome Arrays, in order to identify differentially expressed genes when comparing wild type, Aft/Aft, atv/atv, and Aft/Aft atv/atv fruits. The expression pattern of several genes involved in the anthocyanin pathway was analyzed in detail. Among the fruit peel-associated differentially expressed transcripts, genes involved in phenylpropanoid pathway, cell wall composition, biotic and abiotic stress responses, sugar and hormone metabolism were overrepresented in Aft/Aft atv/atv. Transcriptomic analysis thus revealed that the activation of anthocyanin synthesis in tomato fruit was accompanied by a complex remodulation of gene expression, likely affecting important agronomic and merceological traits.

Project description:The tomato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli Šulc (Hemiptera: Triozidae), is a pest of solanaceous crops such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in the U.S. and vectors the disease-causing pathogen ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ (or Lso). Lso disease symptom severity is dependent on Lso haplotype: tomato plants infected with Lso haplotype B experience more severe symptoms and higher mortality compared to plants infected with Lso haplotype A. By characterizing the molecular differences in the tomato plant’s responses to Lso haplotypes, the key components of LsoB virulence can be identified and, thus, targeted for disease mitigation strategies. To characterize the tomato plant genes putatively involved in the differential immune responses to Lso haplotypes A and B, RNA was extracted from tomato ‘Moneymaker’ leaves three weeks after psyllid infestation. Gene expression levels were compared between uninfected tomato plants (i.e., controls and plants infested with Lso-free psyllids) and infected plants (i.e., plants infested with psyllids infected with either Lso haplotype A or Lso haplotype B). Furthermore, expression levels were compared between plants infected with Lso haplotype A and plants infected with Lso haplotype B. A whole transcriptome analysis identified 578 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between uninfected and infected plants as well as 451 DEGs between LsoA- and LsoB-infected plants. These DEGs were primarily associated with plant defense against abiotic and biotic stressors, growth/development, plant primary metabolism, transport and signaling, and transcription/translation. These gene expression changes suggested that tomato plants traded off plant growth and homeostasis for improved defense against pathogens, especially when infected with LsoB. Consistent with these results, tomato plant growth experiments determined that LsoB-infected plants were significantly stunted and had impaired negative geotropism. However, it appeared that the defense responses mounted by tomatoes were insufficient for overcoming the disease symptoms and mortality caused by LsoB infection, while these defenses could compensate for LsoA infection. The transcriptomic analysis and growth experiments demonstrated that Lso-infected tomato plants underwent gene expression changes related to abiotic and biotic stressors, impaired growth/development, impaired plant primary metabolism, impaired transport and signaling transduction, and impaired transcription/translation. Furthermore, the transcriptomic analysis also showed that LsoB-infected plants, relative to LsoA-infected, experienced more severe stunting, had improved responses to some stressors and impaired responses to others, had poorer transport and signaling transduction, and had impaired carbohydrate synthesis and photosynthesis.

Project description:Phosphorylation-mediated signaling transduction plays a crucial role in the regulation of plant defense mechanisms against environmental stresses. To address the high complexity and dynamic range of plant proteomes and phosphoproteomes, we present a universal sample preparation procedure that facilitates plant phosphoproteomic profiling. This advanced workflow significantly improves phosphopeptide identifications, enabling deep insight into plant phosphoproteomes. We then applied the workflow to study the phosphorylation events involved in tomato cold tolerance mechanisms. Phosphoproteomic changes of two tomato species (N135 Green Gage and Atacames) with distinct cold tolerance phenotypes were profiled under cold stress. In total, we identified more than 30,000 unique phosphopeptides from tomato leaves, representing about 5,500 phosphoproteins, thereby creating the largest tomato phosphoproteomic resource to date. The data, along with the validation through in vitro kinase reactions, allowed us to identify kinases involved in cold tolerant signaling and discover distinctive kinase-substrate events in two tomato species in response to a cold environment. In particular, the activation of SnRK2s and their direct substrates may assist N135 Green Gage tomatoes in surviving long-term cold stress. Taken together, the streamlined approach and the resulting deep phosphoproteomic analyses revealed a global view of tomato cold-induced signaling mechanisms.
