Prunus dulcis response to novel defense elicitor peptides and control of Xylella fastidiosa infections

ABSTRACT: Xylella fastidiosa is a plant pathogenic bacterium that has been introduced in the European Union (EU), threatening the agricultural economy of relevant Mediterranean crops such as almond (Prunus dulcis). Plant defense elicitor peptides would be promising to manage diseases such as almond leaf scorch but their effect on the host has not been fully studied. In this work, the response of almond plants to the defense elicitor peptide flg22-NH2 was studied in-depth using RNA-seq, confirming the activation of the salicylic acid and abscisic acid pathways. Marker genes related to the response triggered by flg22-NH2 were used to study the effect of the application strategy of the peptide on almond plants and to depict its time course. The application of flg22-NH2 by endotherapy triggered the highest number of upregulated genes, especially at 6 hours after the treatment. A library of peptides that include BP100-flg15, HpaG23, FV7, RIJK2, PIP-1, Pep13, BP16-Pep13, flg15-BP100 and BP16 triggered a stronger defense response in almond plants than flg22-NH2. The best candidate, FV7, when applied by endotherapy on almond plants inoculated with X. fastidiosa, significantly reduced levels of the pathogen and decreased disease symptoms. Therefore, these novel plant defense elicitors are suitable candidates to manage diseases caused by X. fastidiosa, in particular almond leaf scorch.

Induction of defense responses and protection of almond plants against Xylella fastidiosa by endotherapy with a bifunctional peptide

Project description:Xylella fastidiosa is a plant pathogenic bacterium that has been introduced in the European Union (EU), causing significant yield losses in economically important Mediterranean crops. Almond leaf scorch (ALS) is currently one of the most relevant diseases observed in Spain, and no cure has been found to be effective for this disease. In previous reports, the peptide BP178 has shown a strong bactericidal activity in vitro against X. fastidiosa and to other plant pathogens, and to trigger defense responses in tomato plants. In the present work, BP178 was applied by endotherapy to almond plants cv. Avijor using preventive and curative strategies. The capacity of BP178 to reduce the population levels of X. fastidiosa and to decrease disease symptoms, and its persistence over time were demonstrated under greenhouse conditions. The most effective treatment consisted of a combination of preventive and curative applications and the peptide was detected in the stem up to 60 days post-treatment. Priming plants with BP178 induced defense responses mainly through the salicylic acid pathway, but also overexpressed some genes of the jasmonic acid and ethylene pathways. It is concluded that the bifunctional peptide is a promising candidate to be further developed to manage ALS caused by X. fastidiosa.

O antigen acts as a shield to delay early plant immune recognition of the pathogenic bacterium, Xylella fastidiosa

Project description:PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI) is the first line of plant defense against invading organisms. Initiated through the perception of conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), such as lipopolysaccharide or flagellin, PTI can provide early protection against a broad range of pathogens. Active suppression of PTI by microbial effector proteins, particularly those secreted by the Type III secretion system (T3SS), is a well-known strategy employed by bacterial plant pathogens that enables them to subvert PTI and successfully colonize their hosts. In this study, we demonstrate that the xylem-limited bacterium, Xylella fastidiosa, which lacks a T3SS, utilizes an alternative strategy to delay elicitation of innate immune responses. By decorating its LPS PAMP molecule with a high molecular weight O antigen, this bacterium physically masks itself from early recognition by the grapevine innate immune system. We have elucidated the chemical structure of the O antigen and found that it is primarily an α1,2-linked rhamnan polymer. X. fastidiosa cells lacking O antigen elicited hallmarks of PTI such as ROS production, specifically in the plant xylem tissue compartment, which is comprised primarily of non-living cells. By coupling histological and genome-wide transcriptional profiling, we demonstrate that X. fastidiosa lacking its O antigen shield activates defense-related genes in grapevine. This includes a stronger and more prolonged oxidative burst at concentrations high enough to inhibit pathogen proliferation. To begin exploring translational applications of our findings, we also demonstrate that purified X. fastidiosa LPS elicitor can prime grapevine defenses, thereby conferring host tolerance to subsequent challenge with X. fastidiosa.

MPK4 phosphorylation dynamics and interacting proteins in plant immunity

Project description:The Arabidopsis MAP kinase 4 (MPK4) has been proposed as negative player in plant immunity, but it is activated by pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), such as flg22. The molecular mechanisms by which MPK4 is activated and controls plant defense remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the Arabidopsis defense against a bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000 when the MPK4 is overexpressed. We showed an increase in pathogen resistance and suppression of jasmonic acid (JA) signaling in the MPK4 overexpressing (OE) plants. We also showed that the OE plants are very sensitive to flg22-triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst in guard cells, which resulted in an enhanced stomatal closure, compared to wild-type (WT). During the flg22 activation, dynamic phosphorylation of MPK4 within and outside of the conserved TEY activation loop was observed. To elucidate how MPK4 functions during the defense response, we used immunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry (IP-MS) to identify MPK4 interacting proteins in the absence and presence of flg22. Quantitative proteomic analysis revealed a shift in MPK4-associated protein network, providing insight into the molecular functions of MPK4 at a systems level.

Expression data from 10-day old Arabidopsis seedlings treated with protease IV from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14

Project description:Immune responses in plants are triggered in part by conserved microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP) molecules such as bacterial flagellin. Upon MAMP perception, plants rapidly turn on the induction of numerous defense-related genes. We have identified a novel type of plant innate immunity elicitor, protease IV from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Genome-wide transcriptomic profiles obtained with Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 GeneChips® of 10-day old Arabidopsis seedlings treated with 20 nM purified protease IV for 1 hour were compared to published bacterial flagellin- and oligogalacturonide-triggered responses. We used microarrays to characterize the global transcriptomic changes in Arabidopsis seedlings upon protease IV treatment.

Expression data from Arabidopsis plants overexpressing CLE３ in roots

Project description:Plant hormones and small secretory peptides often function as environmental stress mediators. Some recent reports indicate that small secretory peptides, such as CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION-RELATED (CLE), also function as mediators of environmental stimuli. CLE３ is induced in roots by defense elicitor treatment. Plants without functional CLE3 showed compromized defense gene responses in shoots when plant roots were treated with NaSA. Here, we identified specific genes downstream of CLE3 in roots and shoots with transformed Arabidopsis plants.

Involvement of different plant viruses in the activation of RNA silencing-related genes and the defensive response against Plum pox virus of ‘GF305’ peach (Prunus persica) grafted with ‘Garrigues’ almond (P. dulcis)

Project description:Plum pox virus (PPV) causes the serious sharka disease in Prunus trees. Peach [P. persica (L.) Batsch] trees are severely affected by PPV and no definitive source of genetic resistance has been identified at this moment. Previous results showed, however, that PPV-resistant ‘Garrigues’ almond [P. dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb] was able to transfer its resistance to ‘GF305’ peach through grafting, preventing these trees from PPV infection and reducing symptomatology and viral load in PPV-infected plants. A recent study tried to identify genes responsible for this effect by studying mRNA expression through RNAseq data in peach and almond plants, before and after grafting, and before and after PPV infection. In this work, we used the same peach and almond samples, but focused the high-throughput analyses on small RNAs (sRNAs) expression. We studied massive sequencing data and found an interesting pattern of sRNAs overexpression linked to antiviral defense genes that suggested activation of these genes followed by downregulation to basal levels. We also discovered that ‘Garrigues’ almond plants were infected by different plant viruses that were transferred to peach plants. The large amounts of viral sRNAs found in grafted peaches indicated a strong RNA silencing antiviral response and led us to postulate that these plant viruses could be collaborating by cross-protection in the observed ‘Garrigues’ effect.

Sugar activates defense signaling in Arabidopsis

Project description:Sugar is propose to be a signal molecules for defense in plants. Here, using RNA-seq, we revealed that the application of non-metabolizable glucose analogue 2-deoxy-d-glucose induces the expression of defense-related genes in Arabidopsis. In addition, loss of sugar transporters (STPs) leads to altered responsiveness to flg22, suggesting that sugar-mediated signaling contributes to plant defense.

Bacterial lipopolysaccharides induce defense responses associated with Programmed cell death in rice cell

Project description:PAMP (Pathogen-Associated Molecular Pattern) recognition plays an important role in innate immune responses both in plants and animals. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of gram-negative bacteria are a typical PAMP molecule and have been reported to induce defense-related responses such as suppression of hypersensitive responses, defense gene espression and systemic resistance in plant. However the detailed analysis of these cellular responses and the molecular machinery involved in the perception and transduction of LPS molecule largely remains to be studied. Furthermore, the biological activities of LPS on plants have so far been reported only for dicots and no information is available on the action of LPS on monocots. We report here that bacterial LPSs, both from plant pathogens and non-pathogens, could induce various defense responses in rice cells, including reactive oxygen generation and defense gene expression. Global analysis of gene expression induced by two PAMP elicitors, LPS and chitin oligosaccharide elicitor, showed a close correlation between the gene responses induced by these elicitors, indicating the convergence of signaling cascades downstream of corresponding receptors. Further, we show that the defense responses induced by LPS are associated with programmed cell death, a finding so far not reported for LPS action on plant cells.
