Interactive responses of Solanum dulcamara to drought and insect feeding are herbivore species specific

Project description:In nature, plants are frequently subjected to multiple biotic and abiotic stresses, resulting in a convergence of adaptive responses. We hypothesized that hormonal signalling regulating defences to different herbivores may interact with drought response, causing distinct resistance phenotypes. To test this, we studied hormonal and transcriptomic responses of Solanum dulcamara subjected to drought and herbivory by the generalist Spodoptera exigua (BAW) or the specialist Leptinotarsa decemlineata (CPB). Bioassays showed that plants under drought became more resistant to BAW, but not to CPB. While drought did not alter BAW-induced hormonal responses, it enhanced CPB-induced accumulation of jasmonic acid and salicylic acid (SA) as well as supressed ethylene (ET) emission. Microarray analyses showed that under drought BAW herbivory enhanced several herbivore-induced responses, including cell-wall remodelling and metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and secondary metabolites. In contrast, CPB herbivory enhanced several photosynthesis-related and pathogen responses in drought-stressed plants. This may divert resources away from the production of effective defences and increase tissue nutritive value. In conclusion, while BAW suffers from the drought-enhanced defences, CPB may benefit from effects of the enhanced SA and reduced ET signalling. This suggests that the fine-tuned interaction between the plant and its specialist herbivore is sustained under drought.

Cascading effects of root microbial symbiosis on the development and metabolome of the insect herbivore Manduca sexta L

Project description:<p>Root mutualistic microbes can modulate the production of plant secondary metabolites affecting plant–herbivore interactions. Still, the main mechanisms underlying the impact of root mutualists on herbivore performance remain ambiguous. In particular, little is known about how changes in the plant metabolome induced by root mutualists affect the insect metabolome and postlarval development. By using bioassays with tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum), we analyzed the impact of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus irregularis and the growth-promoting fungus Trichoderma harzianum on the plant interaction with the specialist insect herbivore Manduca sexta. We found that root colonization by the mutualistic microbes impaired insect development, including metamorphosis. By using untargeted metabolomics, we found that root colonization by the mutualistic microbes altered the secondary metabolism of tomato shoots, leading to enhanced levels of steroidal glycoalkaloids. Untargeted metabolomics further revealed that root colonization by the mutualists affected the metabolome of the herbivore, leading to an enhanced accumulation of steroidal glycoalkaloids and altered patterns of fatty acid amides and carnitine-derived metabolites. Our results indicate that the changes in the shoot metabolome triggered by root mutualistic microbes can cascade up altering the metabolome of the insects feeding on the colonized plants, thus affecting the insect development.</p>
