Project description:Cotton is the main source of natural fiber in the textile industry, making it one of the most economically important fiber crops in the world. Verticillium wilt, caused by the pathogenic fungus Verticillium dahlia, is one of the most damaging biotic factors limiting cotton production. Mechanistic details of cotton defense responses to verticillium wilt remain unclear. In this study, GFP-labeled strain of V. dahlia was used to track colonization in cotton roots, and clear conidial germination could be observed at 48 hours post-inoculation (hpi), marking this as a crucial time point during infection. Transcriptome analysis identified 1,523 and 8,270 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at 24 hpi and 48 hpi, respectively. Metabolomic screening found 78 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) at 48 hpi. Conjoint analysis indicated that the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway was activated in cotton infected with V. dahliae. The five metabolites in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, including caffeic acid, coniferyl alcohol, coniferin, scopoletin and scopolin, could significantly inhibit V. dahlia growth in vitro, implicating their roles in cotton resistance to Verticillium wilt. The findings expand our understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogen defense response against V. dahlia infection in upland cotton, which may lead to future insights into controlling Verticillium wilt disease.

Project description:The fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum infects a broad range of dicotyledonous plant species and is the causative agent of stem rot in Brassica napus. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the defense response, we studied the patterns of gene expression in a partially resistant variety of ZhongYou 821 (ZY821) and a susceptible line from Westar over five time points, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-inoculation (hpi) using a B. napus oligonucleotide microarray. Maximum differential gene expression was observed at 48 hpi in both genotypes with ZY821 responding more quickly than Westar. Specific sets of genes exhibited higher levels of expression at the earlier stages of the infection (6-12 hpi), including genes encoding defense-associated proteins such as chitinases, glucanases, osmotins and lectins and genes encoding transcription factors belonging to the zinc finger, WRKY, AP2, and MYB classes. Genes encoding enzymes involved in JA, ethylene, and auxin synthesis were induced in both genotypes, as were those for gibberellin degradation. Changes in metabolic pathways affecting carbohydrate and energy metabolism appeared to be directed toward shuttling carbon reserves to the TCA cycle. Genes involved in glucosinolate and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis were highly up-regulated suggesting that secondary metabolites are also important components of the response to S. sclerotiorum in B. napus.

Project description:Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands (Pc) is a hemibiotrophic oomycete and the causal agent of Phytophthora root rot (PRR) of the commercially important fruit crop avocado (Persea americana Mill.). Plant defense against pathogens is modulated by phytohormone signaling pathways such as salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), ethylene (ET), auxin and abscisic acid. The role of specific signaling pathways induced and regulated during hemibiotroph-plant interactions has been widely debated. Some studies report SA mediated defense while others hypothesize that JA responses restrict the spread of pathogens. This study aimed to identify the role of SA- and JA- associated genes in the defense strategy of a resistant avocado rootstock, Dusa® in response to Pc infection. Transcripts associated with SA-mediated defense pathways and lignin biosynthesis were upregulated at 6 hours post-inoculation (hpi). Results suggest that auxin, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Ca2+ signaling was also important during this early time point, while JA signaling was absent. Both SA and JA defense responses were shown to play a role during defense at 18 hpi. Induction of genes associated with ROS detoxification and cell wall digestion (β-1-3-glucanase) was also observed. Most genes induced at 24 hpi were linked to JA responses. Other processes at play in avocado at 24 hpi include cell wall strengthening, the formation of phenolics and induction of arabinogalactan, a gene linked to Pc zoospore immobility. This study represents the first transcriptome wide analysis of a resistant avocado rootstock treated with SA and JA compared to Pc infection. The results provide evidence of a biphasic defense response against the hemibiotroph, which initially involves SA-mediated gene expression followed by the enrichment of JA-mediated defense from 18 to 24 hpi. Genes and molecular pathways linked to Pc resistance are highlighted and may serve as future targets for manipulation in the development of PRR resistant avocado rootstocks.

Project description:Chitin oligomers, released from fungal cell walls by endochitinase, induce defense and related cellular responses in many plants. However, little is known about chitin responses in the model plant Arabidopsis. We describe here a large scale characterization of gene expression patterns in Arabidopsis in response to chitin treatment using an Arabidopsis microarray consisting of 2,375 EST clones representing putative defense-related and regulatory genes. Transcript levels for 71 ESTs, representing 61 genes, were altered >3-fold in chitin-treated seedlings relative to control seedlings. A number of transcripts exhibited altered accumulation as early as 10 min after exposure to chitin, representing some of the earliest changes in gene expression observed in chitin-treated plants. Included among the 61 genes are those that have been reported to be elicited by various pathogen-related stimuli in other plants. Additional genes, including genes of unknown function, were also identified broadening our understanding of chitin-elicited responses. Among transcripts with enhanced accumulation, one cluster was enriched in genes with both the W-box promoter element and a novel regulatory element. In addition, a number of transcripts had decreased abundance, encoding several proteins involved in cell wall strengthening and wall deposition. The chalcone synthase promoter element was identified in the upstream regions of these genes, suggesting that pathogen signals may suppress expression of some genes. These data indicate that Arabidopsis will be an excellent model to elucidate mechanisms of chitin elicitation in plant defense.

Project description:cDNA macroarray expression profiling was carried out in poplar leaves upon infection with rust in order to identify genes expressed during tree defense response. For this purpose, we inoculated detached leaves of the interamerican hybrid poplar Populus trichocarpa x Populus deltoides 'Beaupré' grown in greenhouse either with spores of avirulent strain 93ID6 (incompatible interaction, I) or spores of virulent strain 98AG31 (compatible interaction, C) of the pathogenic rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina. Besides, we mock-inoculated 'Beaupré' leaves with water (control condition, T). Detached leaves were maintained in vitro in controled conditions to allow fungal infection and colonization of plant tissue. Leaves were sampled at 12, 24 and 48 hours post-inoculation (hpi) in a time-course experiment before (12 hpi) and after (24 and 48 hpi) that the fungus attempt to penetrate plant cells in mesophyll.

Project description:Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a species of cold-water fish with important economic values, which is widely cultivated around the world. It is susceptible to infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), resulting in a large number of deaths. In this study, we measured the changes of immune parameters in different periods (6-, 12-, 24-, 48-, 72-, 96-, 120-, and 144 hours post infection (hpi)), transcriptome profiles of T48G/C48G and important immune-related genes expression patterns in rainbow trout gill following IHNV challenge through biochemical methods, RNA-seq and qRT-PCR. The results showed that AKP, ACP, T-SOD, ALT and AST activities, as well as MDA and LZM content decreased and then increased during infection, and reached to the lowest value at 48 hpi (P < 0.05), whereas CAT activity showed significant peaks at 48 hpi (P < 0.05). The mRNA and miRNA analysis identified 4343 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 11 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs), and numerous DEGs involved in immune responses, such as tlr3, tlr7, tlr8, traf3, ifih1, trim25, dhx58, ddh58, hsp90a.1, nlrc3, nlrc5, socs3, irf3, irf7, mx1, vig2, bcl2, casp3 and casp8。Integrated analysis identified four key miRNAs (miR-27d-3p, miR-124-5p, miR-301a-5p and miR-146-5p) that target important immune-related DEGs (tlr3, ifih1, vig2, irf8, socs3 and cox1). Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses showed that DEGs and target genes were significantly enriched in various immune-related terms including inflammatory response, DNA replication, cell adhesion and pathways of Toll-like receptor signaling, apoptosis, DNA replication, p53 signaling and MAPK signaling. The expression trends of 15 DEGs and 2 DEMs were further verified by quantitative real-time PCR, which confirmed the reliability of the transcriptome sequencing results. Expression analysis showed that tlr3, tlr7, traf3, ifih1, trim25, dhx58, hap90a.1, irf3, irf7 and mx1 genes increased significantly after 48 hpi during infection. This study contributes to the understanding of the immune response of rainbow trout against IHNV infection, and provides new insights into the immune regulation mechanisms for future studies.

Project description:The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, is one of the most significant mite pests in agriculture that can feed on more than 1,100 plant hosts, including model plants Arabidopsis thaliana and tomato, Solanum lycopersicum. Here, we described tomato transcriptional responses to spider mite feeding and compared them to Arabidopsis in order to determine conserved and divergent responses to this pest. 2,133 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected at 1, 3, 6, 12 or 24 hours post spider mite infestation (hpi) relative to non-infested control plants. Based on Biological Process Gene Ontology annotations, improved in the course of our analysis, DEGs were grouped in 60 significantly enriched gene sets that highlighted perception of the spider mite attack (1 hpi), metabolic reprogramming (3-6 hpi), and establishment and maintenance of the defense responses (6-24 hpi). We used microarray to assess global gene expression in Solanum lycopersicum cv. Heinz 1706 upon Tetranychus urticae attack. 1 month old tomato plants were subjected to Tetranychus urticae attack through application of 100 adult mites on a terminal leaflet of leaf 3 for various periods of time (timecourse scenario) or hundreds of mites for 1 hour (feeding site scenario).
