Project description:Pseudomonas syringae is an important plant pathogen that infects a wide variety of crops. The mgo (mangotoxin-generating operon) gene cluster produces an extracellular signaling molecule, leudiazen, and is highly conserved in Pseudomonas syringae strains. Here, we genetically removed mgo in Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (Pss) UMAF0158 to interrogate its impacts on bacterial infection. Loss of mgo not only alleviated the chlorosis symptom caused by Pss UMAF0158 infection, but also reduced bacterial population in tomato leaflets. Structure-activity relationship revealed that the diazeniumdiolate group and the isobutyl side chain of leudiazen are critical for its signaling activity. Through global transcriptome analysis, we found that mgo regulates the expression of a new gene cluster in addition to mangotoxin biosynthetic operon, namely RS17235-RS17245. This new gene cluster contributes to in planta survival of Pss UMAF0158 and is widely distributed in Pseudomonas syringae strains. Our results demonstrate that chemical signaling systems in plant pathogens play prominent roles in virulence and population increase and set stages for understanding downstream components of mgo-regulated signaling pathways.

Project description:The absorption of visible light in aquatic environments has led to the common assumption that aquatic organisms sense and adapt to penetrative blue/green light wavelengths, but show little or no response to the more attenuated red/far-red wavelengths. Here we show that two marine diatom species, Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Thalassiosira pseudonana, possess a bona fide red/far-red light sensing phytochrome (DPH) that uses biliverdin as a chromophore and displays accentuated red-shifted absorbance peaks compared to other characterized plant and algal phytochromes. Exposure to both red and far-red light causes changes in gene expression in P. tricornutum and the responses to far-red light disappear in DPH knockout cells, demonstrating that P. tricornutum DPH mediates far-red light signaling. The identification of DPH genes in diverse diatom species widely distributed along the water column further emphasizes the ecological significance of far-red light sensing, raising questions about the sources of far-red light. Our analyses indicate that, although far-red wavelengths from sunlight are only detectable at the ocean surface, chlorophyll fluorescence and Raman scattering can generate red/far-red photons in deeper layers. This study opens up novel perspectives on phytochrome-mediated far-red light signaling in the ocean and on the light sensing and adaptive capabilities of marine phototrophs.

Project description:Background: Plants attenuate their responses to a variety of bacterial and fungal pathogens, leading to higher incidences of pathogen infection at night. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism responsible for the light-induced defence response; transcriptome data would likely facilitate the elucidation of this mechanism. Results: In this study, we observed diurnal changes in tomato resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pto DC3000), with the greatest susceptibility before midnight. Nightly light treatment, particularly red light treatment, significantly enhanced the resistance; this effect was correlated with increased salicylic acid (SA) accumulation and defence-related gene transcription. RNA-seq analysis revealed that red light induced a set of circadian rhythm-related genes involved in the phytochrome and SA-regulated resistance response. The biosynthesis and signalling pathways of multiple plant hormones (auxin, SA, jasmonate, and ethylene) were co-ordinately regulated following Pto DC3000 infection and red light, and the SA pathway was most significantly affected by red light and Pto DC3000 infection. This result indicates that SA-mediated signalling pathways are involved in red light-induced resistance to pathogens. Importantly, silencing of nonexpressor of pathogensis-related genes 1 (NPR1) partially compromised red light-induced resistance against Pto DC3000. Furthermore, sets of genes involved in redox homeostasis (respiratory burst oxidase homologue, RBOH; glutathione S-transferases, GSTs; glycosyltransferase, GTs), calcium (calmodulin, CAM; calmodulin-binding protein, CBP), and defence (polyphenol oxidase, PPO; nudix hydrolase1, NUDX1) as well as transcription factors (WRKY18, WRKY53, WRKY60, WRKY70) and cellulose synthase were differentially induced at the transcriptional level by red light in response to pathogen challenge. Conclusions: Taken together, our results suggest that there is a diurnal change in susceptibility to Pto DC3000 with greatest susceptibility in the evening. The red light induced-resistance to Pto DC3000 at night is associated with enhancement of the SA pathway, cellulose synthase, and reduced redox homeostasis.

Project description:Treatment of the seeds. The Solanum lycopersicum var. Money Maker wild type (MM) and fri1-1 mutant seeds were incubated on distilled-water saturated cotton wool in clear plastic boxes wrapped in black plastic sheets in darkness during 3 hours at 25°C. After that, the seeds were treated as follows: a) 24 hr of continuous irradiation with far-red light, FRc; b) 24 hr of FRc follow by a 10 min red light pulse (Rp), FRc+Rp; and c) complete darkness. After the light treatments, the seeds were incubated in darkness (25°C) until sampling. Red light (35umol/m2sec) was provided by 40W fluorescent lamps (Phillips 40/15) in combination with a red translucid acrylic. FRc light (100 umol/m2sec) was provided by a set of 150W incandescent internal reflector lamps (Phillips) in combination with a red acetate filter, six 2mm thick blue acrylic filters Paolini 2031 and 10cm water filter. Total RNA isolation. The seeds were grinded in liquid nitrogen and extracted with two volumes of extraction buffer (1% SDS, 6% p-aminosalycilic acid, 1% NaCl, 6% water-saturated phenol and 2% 2-mercaptoethanol) and two volumes of acid phenol:chloroform solution. The aqueous phase was sequentially extracted with one volume of acid phenol:chloroform solution and one volume of chloroform. The nucleic acids in the aqueous phase were precipitated with 0.15 volumes of 3M NaCl and 2.5 volumes of 100% ethanol at –80°C for 20 minutes. After centrifugation, the pellet was washed with 70% ethanol, resuspended in RNase-free water and precipitated with one volume of 4M LiCl over night at 4°C. The LiCl was removed after centrifugation and the pellet was rinsed with 2M LiCl and resuspended in RNase-free water. The total RNA was treated with RNase-free DNase (Promega) and cleaned up with mini spin columns (RNeasy Plant Mini Kit, Qiagen). The mRNA was amplificated with Message Amp II aRNA Amplification Kit (Ambion) and concentrated by vacumm centrifugation. Keywords: Direct comparison

Project description:The red-light regulated transcription factors FHY3 and FAR1 form a key point of light input to the plant circadian clock in positively regulating expression of genes within the central clock. However, the fhy3 mutant shows an additional red light-specific disruption of rhythmicity which is inconsistent with this role. Here we demonstrate that only fhy3 and not far1 mutants show this red specific disruption of rhythmicity. We examined the differences in rhythmic transcriptome in red versus white light and reveal differences in patterns of rhythmicity among the central clock proteins suggestive of a change in emphasis withing the central mechanism of the clock, changes which underlie the red specificity of the fhy3 mutant. In particular, changes in enrichment of promoter elements were consistent with a key role for the HY5 transcription factor, a known integrator of the ratio of red to blue light in regulation of the clock. Examination of differences in the rhythmic transcriptome in the fhy3 mutant in red light which identified specific disruption of the CCA1-regulated ELF3 and LUX central clock genes, while the CCA1 target TBS element, TGGGCC, was enriched among genes that became arrhythmic. Coupled with the known interaction of FHY3 but not FAR1 with CCA1 we propose that the red-specific circadian phenotype of fhy3 may involve disruption of the previously-demonstrated moderation of CCA1 activity by FHY3 rather than a disruption of its own transcriptional regulatory activity. Together, this evidence suggests a conditional redundancy between FHY3 and HY5 in the integration of red and blue light input to the clock in order to enable a plasticity in response to light and optimise plant adaptation. Furthermore, our evidence also suggests changes in CCA1 activity between red and white light transcriptomes. This, together with the documented interaction of HY5 with CCA1, leads us to propose a model whereby this integration of red and blue signals may at least partly occur via direct FHY3 and HY5 interaction with CCA1 leading to moderation of CCA1 activity.

Project description:Ethylene is a gaseous signal sensed by plants and bacteria. Heterologous expression of the ethylene-forming enzyme (EFE) from Pseudomonas syringae in cyanobacteria leads to the production of ethylene under photoautotrophic conditions. The recent characterization of an ethylene responsive signaling pathway affecting phototaxis in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 implies that biotechnologically relevant ethylene synthesis may induce regulatory processes which are not related to changes in the metabolism. Here we provide data that endogenously produced ethylene accelerates movement of cells towards light. Microarray analysis demonstrates that ethylene deactivates transcription from the csiR1/lsiR promoter which is under control of the two-component system consisting of the ethylene and UV-A-sensing histidine kinase UirS and the DNA-binding response regulator UirR. Surprisingly, only very few other transcriptional changes were detected in the microarray analysis providing no direct hints to possible bottlenecks in phototrophic ethylene production.
