Project description:Asymptomatic plants grown in natural soil are colonized by phylogenetically structured communities of microbes known as the microbiota. Individual microbes can activate microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP)-triggered immunity (MTI), which limits pathogen proliferation but curtails plant growth, a phenomenon known as the growth-defense trade-off. We report that in mono-associations, 41% (62/151) of taxonomically diverse root bacteria commensals suppress Arabidopsis thaliana root growth inhibition (RGI) triggered by immune-stimulating MAMPs or damage-associated molecular patterns. Amplicon sequencing of bacteria 16S rRNA genes reveal that immune activation alters the profile of synthetic communities (SynComs) comprised of RGI-non-suppressive strains, while the presence of RGI-suppressive strains attenuates this effect. Root colonization by SynComs with different complexities and RGI-suppressive activities alters the expression of 174 core host genes with functions related to root development and nutrient transport. Further, RGI-suppressive SynComs specifically downregulate a subset of immune-related genes. Mutation of one commensal-downregulated transcription factor, MYB15, or pre-colonization with RGI-suppressive SynComs render plants more susceptible to opportunistic Pseudomonas pathogens. Our results suggest that RGI-non-suppressive and suppressive root commensals modulate host susceptibility to pathogens by either eliciting or dampening MTI responses, respectively. This interplay buffers the plant immune system against pathogen perturbation and defense-associated growth inhibition, ultimately leading to commensal-host homeostasis.

Project description:The association between soil microbes and plant roots is present in all natural and agricultural environments. Microbes can be beneficial, pathogenic, or neutral to the host plant development and adaptation to abiotic or biotic stresses. Progress in investigating the functions and changes in microbial communities in diverse environments have been rapidly developing in recent years, but the changes in root function is still largely understudied. The aim of this study was to determine how soil bacteria influence maize root transcription and microRNAs (miRNAs) populations in a controlled inoculation of known microbes over a defined time course. At each time point after inoculation of the maize inbred line B73 with ten bacterial isolates, DNA and RNA were isolated from roots. The V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was amplified from the DNA and sequenced with the Illumina MiSeq platform. Amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene indicated that most of the microbes successfully colonized maize roots. The colonization was dynamic over time and varied with the specific bacterial isolate. Small RNA sequencing and mRNA-Seq was done to capture changes in the root transcriptome from 0.5 to 480 hours after inoculation. The transcriptome and small RNA analyses revealed epigenetic and transcriptional changes in roots due to the microbial inoculation. This research provides the foundational data needed to understand how plant roots interact with bacterial partners and will be used to develop predictive models for root response to bacteria.

Project description:Root exudates contain specialised metabolites that affect the plant’s root microbiome. How host-specific microbes cope with these bioactive compounds, and how this ability shapes root microbiomes, remains largely unknown. We investigated how maize root bacteria metabolise benzoxazinoids, the main specialised metabolites of maize. Diverse and abundant bacteria metabolised the major compound in the maize rhizosphere MBOA and formed AMPO. AMPO forming bacteria are enriched in the rhizosphere of benzoxazinoid-producing maize and can use MBOA as carbon source. We identified a novel gene cluster associated with AMPO formation in microbacteria. The first gene in this cluster, bxdA encodes a lactonase that converts MBOA to AMPO in vitro. A deletion mutant of the homologous bxdA genes in the genus Sphingobium, does not form AMPO nor is it able to use MBOA as a carbon source. BxdA was identified in different genera of maize root bacteria. Here we show that plant-specialised metabolites select for metabolisation-competent root bacteria. BxdA represents a novel benzoxazinoid metabolisation gene whose carriers successfully colonize the maize rhizosphere and thereby shape the plant’s chemical environmental footprint

Project description:Plants and rhizosphere microbes rely closely on each other, with plants supplying carbon to bacteria in root exudates, and bacteria mobilizing soil-bound phosphate for plant nutrition. When the phosphate supply becomes limiting for plant growth, the composition of root exudation changes, affecting rhizosphere microbial communities and microbially-mediated nutrient fluxes. To evaluate how plant phosphate deprivation affects rhizosphere bacteria, Lolium perenne seedlings were root-inoculated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa 7NR, and grown in axenic microcosms under different phosphate regimes (330 uM vs 3-6 uM phosphate). The effect of biological nutrient limitation was examined by DNA microarray studies of rhizobacterial gene expression.

Project description:The transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth involves many pathways. Vernalization is crucial to the formation of floral organs, the regulation of flowering time and plant breeding. The purpose of this study was to identify the mRNA, microRNA (miRNA), long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), and circular RNA (circRNA) related to vernalization of Chinese cabbage, and to construct a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network, so as to provide valuable information for exploring the molecular mechanism of vernalization of Chinese cabbage. Results: The results of whole-transcriptome sequencing showed that 2702 mRNAs, 151 lncRNAs, 16 circRNA, and 233 miRNAs were differentially expressed in vernalized (‘Ver’) and non-vernalized (‘Nor’) seeds of Chinese cabbage. Some transcription factors and regulatory proteins that play important roles in vernalization pathway have been identified, such as the transcription factors of WRKY, MYB, NAC, bHLH, and MADS-box, zinc finger protein CONSTANS like gene and B3 domain protein. We constructed vernalization-related ceRNA-miRNA-target gene network and obtained 199 pairs of ceRNA relationships, including 108 DEmiRNA-DEmRNA, 67 DEmiRNA-DElncRNA, and 12 DEmiRNA-DEcircRNA interactions in Chinese cabbage. Meanwhile, several important vernalization-related genes and their interacting lncRNAs, circRNAs, and miRNAs were identified, which were involved in the regulation of flowering time, floral organ formation, bolting and flowering. Conclusions: The candidate differentially expressed mRNA, miRNA, lncRNA and circRNA for vernalization of Chinese cabbage were identified by the whole-transcriptome sequencing, and the ceRNA network was constructed. This study laid a foundation for further study on the molecular mechanism of vernalization in Chinese cabbage.
