Quantitative transcriptomics of pheromone biosynthetic midgut and fat body tissues in the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderoase Hopkins

ABSTRACT: Bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) are pests of many forests around the world. The mountain pine beetle (MPB), Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, is a significant pest of western North American pine forests. The MPB is able to overcome the defences of pine trees through pheromone-assisted aggregation that results in a mass attack of host trees. These pheromones, both male and female produced, are believed to be biosynthesized in the midgut and/or fat body of these insects. We have used transcriptomics (RNA-seq) to identify transcripts differentially expressed between sexes and between tissues, with juvenile hormone III treatment, which is known to induce pheromone biosynthesis.

RNA-seq based in vivo transcriptomes of pine trees inoculated with pinewood nematode under Bacillus subtilis JCK-1398 treatment

Project description:Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (pinewood nematode, PWN) is the causal agent of pine wilt disease, causing economic and environmental losses in pine forests. The establishment of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) offers positive prospects for PWN control. We chose Bacillus subtilis JCK-1398, which effectively mitigated disease symptoms in PWN-infected pine trees. To elucidate the molecular responses involved in increased SAR according to B. subtilis JCK-1398 treatment, we characterized the in vivo transcriptomes of pine trees infected by PWN with B. subtilis JCK-1398 treatment. Additionally, pine trees infected by PWN after Tween20 treatment were used as a negative control.

RNA-seq based in vivo transcriptomes of pine trees inoculated with pinewood nematode under the enhanced resistance state

Project description:Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (pinewood nematode, PWN) is a causal agent of pine wilt disease and results in economic and environmental losses in pine forests. The establishment of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) provides positive capacities to control PWN. We selected two SAR elicitors, acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) and methyl salicylic acid (MeSA), which effectively inhibited disease symptoms on PWN-infected pine trees. To understand dynamic interactions between pine host and PWN under SAR state, we characterized in vivo transcriptomes of pine trees infected by B. xylophilus according to the ASM and MeSA treatment. After distilled water treatment, pine trees infected by B. xylophilus was used as a negative control.

Within-Stand Distribution of Tree Mortality Caused by Mountain Pine Beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins.

Project description:The mountain pine beetle (MPB) (Dendroctonus ponderosae) is a bark beetle that attacks and kills ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), among other pine species throughout the western conifer forests of the United States and Canada, particularly in dense stands comprising large trees. There is information on the stand conditions that the insect prefers. However, there is a paucity of information on how small-scale variation in stand conditions influences the distribution of tree mortality within a stand. I examined the small-scale distribution of ponderosa pine basal area pre- and post a mountain pine beetle infestation, and used geostatistical modeling to relate the spatial distribution of the host to subsequent MPB-caused tree mortality. Results indicated increased mortality in the denser parts of the stand. Previous land management has changed historically open low-elevation ponderosa pine stands with aggregated tree distribution into dense stands that are susceptible to mountain pine beetles and intense fires. Current restoration efforts are aimed at reducing tree density and leaving clumps of trees, which are more similar to historical conditions. The residual clumps, however, may be susceptible to mountain pine beetle populations. Land managers will want to be cognizant of how mountain pine beetles will respond to restoration treatments, so as to prevent and mitigate tree mortality that could negate restoration efforts.

Draft genome of the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, a major forest pest.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, is the most serious insect pest of western North American pine forests. A recent outbreak destroyed more than 15 million hectares of pine forests, with major environmental effects on forest health, and economic effects on the forest industry. The outbreak has in part been driven by climate change, and will contribute to increased carbon emissions through decaying forests. RESULTS:We developed a genome sequence resource for the mountain pine beetle to better understand the unique aspects of this insect's biology. A draft de novo genome sequence was assembled from paired-end, short-read sequences from an individual field-collected male pupa, and scaffolded using mate-paired, short-read genomic sequences from pooled field-collected pupae, paired-end short-insert whole-transcriptome shotgun sequencing reads of mRNA from adult beetle tissues, and paired-end Sanger EST sequences from various life stages. We describe the cytochrome P450, glutathione S-transferase, and plant cell wall-degrading enzyme gene families important to the survival of the mountain pine beetle in its harsh and nutrient-poor host environment, and examine genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism variation. A horizontally transferred bacterial sucrose-6-phosphate hydrolase was evident in the genome, and its tissue-specific transcription suggests a functional role for this beetle. CONCLUSIONS:Despite Coleoptera being the largest insect order with over 400,000 described species, including many agricultural and forest pest species, this is only the second genome sequence reported in Coleoptera, and will provide an important resource for the Curculionoidea and other insects.

Transcript profiling of Pinus sylvestris trees as a response to Heterobasidion annosum infection under field conditions

Project description:In conifer forests of Northern Europe, a pathogenic fungus Heterobasidion annosum attacks the roots of Scots pine and causes mortality. Trees with infection grow slower and produce less timber with reduced quality. Despite applied control methods, such as switching tree species to a non-host species, or stump treatment, root and butt rot continues to be a serious forest health problem. Disease resistance breeding is a less-applied control method which has potential to improve tree health. However, neither conifer genotypes with absolute resistance to Heterobasidion sp. nor robust selection markers for resistance breeding have been found. We studied the responses of various Scots pine genotypes to Heterobasidion annosum infection and mechanic damage in drained peatland. Stems and roots of mature naturally regenerated Scots pine trees growing in drained peatland were either artificially infected with H. annosum or wounded and inoculated with sterile inoculum. Untreated trees from the study sites served as controls. Responses of different Scots pine genotypes to pathogen infection as determined by lesion size were recorded from samples harvested four months after inoculation, and least susceptible and highly susceptible genotypes were selected from the study material. Analysis of terpenoids from both least susceptible and highly susceptible pine genotypes by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry indicates that some monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes are differentially induced depending on the susceptibility level. Transcriptomic microarray analysis was therefore conducted with RNA from stems of the least susceptible and highly susceptible Scots pine genotypes. Gene expression data from cDNA microarray were analysed by comparisons between the treatments, and the genotypes with different resistance level. The aim of the study is to highlight transcripts specific to differing levels of susceptibility.

Transcriptional response of Scots pine trees to Heterobasidion annosum infection: analyses of antimicrobial protein Sp-AMP2

Project description:Understanding of mechanisms of resistance of forest trees against microbial pathogens is an essential prerequisite for the development of sustainable forestry practices and for the improvement of commercially-grown trees via either conventional breeding or rational genetic engineering. We have studied the transcriptional response of Scots pine trees to Heterobasidion annosum infection under field conditions. By comparing responses of trees to wounding and to fungal inoculation we could identify a set of genes that were specifically responding to fungal infection. We have also investigated a contribution of Scots pine antimicrobial protein Sp-AMP2 to the host antimicrobial defense to evaluate the potential of Sp-AMP genes as molecular markers for resistance breeding.
