Project description:During a compatible interaction, root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) induce the redifferentiation of root cells into multinucleate nematode feeding cells giant cells. These hypertrophied cells result from repeated nuclear divisions without cytokinesis, are metabolically active and present features typical of transfer cells. Hyperplasia of the surrounding cells leads to formation of the typical root gall. We investigate here the plant response to root-knot nematodes.

Project description:In this study a comparison was made between the local transcriptional changes at two time points upon root knot (Meloidogyne graminicola) and migratory nematode (Hirschmanniella oryzae) infection in rice. Using mRNA-Seq we have characterized specific and general responses of the root challenged with these endoparastic root nematodes with very different modes of action. Root knot nematodes induce major developmental reprogramming of the root tip, where they force the cortical cells to form multinucleate giant cells, resulting in gall-development. Our results show that root knot nematodes force the plant to produce and transfer nutrients, like sugars and amino acids, to this tissue. Migratory nematodes, on the other hand, induce the expression of proteins involved in plant death and oxidative stress, and obstruct the normal metabolic activity of the root. While migratory nematode infection also causes upregulation of biotic stress-related genes early in the infection, the root knot nematodes seem to actively suppress the local defence of the plant root. This is exemplified by a downregulation of genes involved in the salicylic acid and ethylene pathways. Interestingly, hormone pathways usually involved in plant development, were strongly induced (auxin and gibberellin) or repressed (cytokinin) in the galls. In addition, thousands of novel transcriptionally active regions as well as highly expressed nematode transcripts were detected in the infected root tissues. These results uncover previously unrecognized nematode-specific expression profiles and provide an interesting starting point to study the physiological function of many yet unannotated transcripts potentially targeted by these nematodes.

Project description:The goals of this study is understand the effect of the MiEFF18 nematode effector on alternative splicing. Methods: PolyA RNA from WT, MiEFF18 overexpressor and smd1b mutant seedlings were sequenced using the illumina NextSeq500 sequencer, in triplicate. Total RNA was extracted from the roots of the three Arabidopsis lines (Col0, OE-MiEFF18#13.6 and smd1b) with TriZol (Invitrogen), according to the Invitrogen protocol. The RNA was treated with DNAse treatment (Ambion), and its quality and integrity were assessed with a Bioanalyzer (Agilent). Libraries were constructed with the Tru-Seq Stranded mRNA Sample Prep kit (Illumina®). Paired-end sequencing with 75-bp reads was performed on a NextSeq500 perform. A minimum of 30 million paired-end reads per sample was generated. RNA-seq preprocessing included the trimming of library adapters and quality controls with Trimmomatic. Paired-end reads with a Phred Quality Score Qscore > 20 and a read length > 30 bases were retained, and ribosomal RNA sequences were removed with SortMeRNA. Processed reads were aligned using Tophat2 with the following arguments: --max-multihits 1 -i 20 --min-segment-intron 20 --min-coverage-intron 20 --library-type fr-firststrand --microexon-search -I 1000 --max-segment-intron 1000 --max-coverage-intron 1000 --b2-very-sensitive. Conclusions: MiEFF18 overexpression modifies the expression of genes important for the ontogenesis of giant cells, notably those involved in microtubule cytoskeleton reorganization and cell cycle regulation, strongly suggesting that MiEFF18-mediated SmD1 inactivation in plants leads to a loss of susceptibility to root-knot nematodes.

Project description:Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are microscopic parasitic worms able to infest the roots of thousands of plant species, causing massive crop yield losses worldwide. They evade the plant's immune system and manipulate plant cell physiology and metabolism to transform a few root cells into giant cells, which serve as feeding sites for the nematode. RKN parasitism is facilitated by the secretion in planta of effector molecules, mostly proteins that hijack host cellular processes. We describe here a conserved RKN-specific effector, effector 12 (EFF12), that is synthesized exclusively in the oesophageal glands of the nematode, and we demonstrate its function in parasitism. In the plant, MiEFF12 localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). A combination of RNA-sequencing analysis and immunity-suppression bioassays revealed the contribution of MiEFF12 to the modulation of host immunity. Yeast two-hybrid, split luciferase and co-immunoprecipitation approaches identified an essential component of the ER quality control system, the Solanum lycopersicum plant bap-like (PBL), and basic leucine zipper 60 (BZIP60) proteins as host targets of MiEFF12. Finally, silencing the PBL genes in Nicotiana benthamiana decreased susceptibility to Meloidogyne incognita infection. Our results suggest that EFF12 manipulates PBL function to modify plant immune responses to allow parasitism.

Project description:Biotrophic plant pathogens have evolved sophisticated strategies to manipulate their host. They derive all of their nutrients from living plant tissues, by making intimate contact with their host while avoiding a resistance response. Rice is one of the most important crop plants worldwide and an excellent model system for studying monocotyledonous plants. Estimates of annual yield losses due to plant-parasitic nematodes on this crop range from 10 to 25% worldwide. One of the agronomically most important nematodes attacking rice is the rice root knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola. Attack of plant roots by sedentary plant parasitic nematodes, like the root knot nematodes (RKN; Meloidogyne spp.) involves the development of specialized feeding cells in the vascular tissue. The second stage juvenile of the RKN punctures selected vascular cells with its stylet, injects pharyngeal secretions, and this ultimately leads to the reorganisation of these cells into typical feeding structures called giant cells (GCs), from which the nematode feeds for the remainder of its sedentary life cycle (Gheysen & Mitchum, 2011). Morphological and physiological reprogramming of the initial feeding cell leads to nucleus enlargement, proliferation of mitochondria and plastids, metabolic activation, cell cycle alterations and cell wall changes (Gheysen and Mitchum, 2011). The hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the surrounding cells leads to the formation of a root gall, which is typically formed at the root tips in the case of the rice RKN M. graminicola. In comparison with other RKN, M. graminicola has a very fast life cycle, with swelling of the root tips observed as early as 1 day after infection (dai). At 3 dai, terminal hook-like galls are clearly visible (Bridge et al., 2005). After 3 moults the nematodes are mature, around 10 dai. The M. graminicola females lay their eggs inside the galls, while most other RKN deposit egg masses at the gall surface, and hatched juveniles can reinfect the same or adjacent roots. In well-drained soil at 22-29 degrees C the life cycle of M. graminicola is completed in 19 days. 2 biological replicates of nematode infected giant cells and control vascular cells were sampled at two time points: 7 and 14 dai

Project description:affy_meloidogyne_rice2 - affy_meloidogyne_rice2 - Plant-parasitic nematodes cause heavy economic losses to global agriculture. The root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, is an obligate parasite that causes significant damage to a broad range of host plants. M. incognita infection to dicotyledous plants is extensively studied but it is also important to study their interaction with monocotyledous plants, in particular with cereals. In our growing conditions, as of day 6, histological studies revealed a profound rice tissue reorganisation around nematodes, notably characterized by the plant feeding site formation. We are investigating the molecular plant response to M. incognita by carrying out a global analysis of gene expression during gall formation in rice, using giant cell-enriched root tissues at this early stage (6dpi) of gall development-Oryza sativa (var. Nipponbare) seedlings were grown on 6 cm3 SAP substrate completed with diluted Hoaglands solution (Reversat et al., 1999). Culture units were placed in a growth chamber illuminated with fluorescent tubes 9/24 h and maintained at 23°C for 6 days before being inoculated with a 300 J2-stage juveniles M. incognita. One day after inoculation (dai), the rice seedlings were immersed in de-ionised water to remove all J2s that had not penetrated the roots and allowing synchronization of the infection. Each seedling was transferred to a hydroponic mini chamber (Reversat et al., 2004). Sampling was performed at 6 dai and each of them contained galls from 45 infected plants, they were then hand-dissected, frozen in liquid-nitrogen and stored at -80°C. As reference samples, uninfected meristematic root fragments were dissected from seedlings grown under the same conditions. Each sample was replicated 3 times.

Project description:affy_meloidogyne_rice - affy_meloidogyne_rice - Plant-parasitic nematodes cause profound economic losses to global agriculture with the obligate sedentary endoparasitic varieties; amongst them the cyst and Root Knot Nematode (RKN) species are the most damaging. Meloidogyne graminicola is a RKN mainly found in the monocotyledous plants. In the compatible interaction with Oryza sativa, M. graminicola induces the characteristic formation of hook-like galls resulting from the redifferentiation of root cells into multinucleate giant cells. In order to understand the global transcriptome changes occurring during infection, several recent microarray studies on root knots have demonstrated complex changes in host plant gene expression in response to infection. However, to our knowledge, all these transcriptome studies were performed on dicotyledous plants. A histological study enabled us to observe hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the surrounding cells leading to the formation of hook-like galls. We also investigated the plant response to M. graminicola by carrying out a global analysis of gene expression during gall formation in rice, using giant cell-enriched root tissues at an early stage (2dpi) and a latter stage (4dpi) of gall development.-Oryza sativa (var. Nipponbare) seedlings were grown on 6 cm3 SAP substrate completed with diluted Hoaglands solution (Reversat et al., 1999). Culture units were placed in a growth chamber illuminated with fluorescent tubes 9/24 h and maintained at 23°C for 5 days before being inoculated with a 100 J2-stage juveniles M. graminicola. One day after inoculation (dai), the rice seedlings were immersed in de-ionised water to remove all J2s that had not penetrated the roots and allowing synchronization of the infection. Each seedling was transferred to a hydroponic mini chamber (Reversat et al., 2004). Sampling was performed at 2 and 4 dai and each of them contained galls from 70 infected plants, they were then hand-dissected, frozen in liquid-nitrogen and stored at -80°C. As reference samples, uninfected meristematic root fragments were dissected from seedlings grown under the same conditions. Each sample was replicated 3 times.
