Hickory LC-MS/MS - Comparative Proteomic Analysis of the Graft Unions in Hickory (Carya cathayensis) Provides Insights into Response Mechanisms to Grafting Process

ABSTRACT: Hickory (Carya cathayensis) is a woody plant with high nutritional and economic value, and is widely cultivated in China. It is different from herbaceous plants and undergoes a long vegetative stage before reaching floral transition. Hickory can be cultivated on a large scale using grafting. To reveal the response mechanisms to grafting, we employed a proteomics-based approach to identify differentially expressed proteins during the hickory grafting process. In our study, 3723 proteins were identified and 2518 proteins were quantified. A total of 710 differentially quantified proteins (DQPs) were identified and these were involved in various molecular functional and biological processes. Among these DQPs, 341 were up-regulated and 369 were down-regulated at 7 days after grafting compared to the control. The protein interaction networks of the DQPs indicated that there were two enriched interaction clusters. These were „ribosome‟ and „starch and sucrose metabolism‟. Four auxin-related proteins were down-regulated, which was in agreement with the transcription levels of their encoding genes. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that the „Flavonoid biosynthesis‟ pathway was significantly up-regulated. Further experiments verified a significant increase in the total flavonoid contents in scions, which suggested that graft union formation may activate flavonoid biosynthesis to increase the contents of a series of downstream secondary metabolites. This comprehensive analysis provides fundamental information on the candidate proteins and the secondary metabolism pathways involved in the grafting process for hickory.

Hickory (<i>Carya cathayensis</i>), a tree with high nutritional and economic value, is widely cultivated in China. Grafting greatly reduces the juvenile phase length and makes the large scale cultivation of hickory possible. To reveal the response mechanisms of this species to grafting, we employed a proteomics-based approach to identify differentially expressed proteins in the graft unions during the grafting process. Our study identified 3723 proteins, of which 2518 were quantified. A total o ...[more]

Project description:Phytophthora blight is a highly destructive soil borne disease caused by Phytophthora capsici Leonian, which seriously threatens global pepper production. Grafting is one of the important means to improve plant disease resistance and prevent soil borne diseases in vegetable production. However, the molecular mechanism by which grafting enhances the resistance of pepper to Phytophthora blight is still unclear. This study used Phytophthora capsici resistant strain ‘ZCM334’ and susceptible strain ‘Early Calwonder’ as rootstocks, and ‘Early Calwonder’ as scions for grafting. Phenotypic observation and cytological analysis showed that compared with the ‘Early Calwonder’ self rooted plants, the ‘ZCM334’ grafted plants had a later onset of disease, stronger resistance, and less damage to leaf cells, indicating that grafting can significantly improve the resistance of pepper to Phytophthora capsici. This study identified differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the leaves and roots of ‘ZCM334’ grafted plants and ‘Early Calwonder’ self rooted plants through proteomic analysis based on iTRAQ technology, and 478 and 349 DEPs were identified between their leaves and roots, respectively. These DEPs were mainly involved in metabolic process, cellular process, response to stimulus and catalytic activity processes. We identified and screened 12 DEPs with consistent expression trends in the leaves and roots of ‘ZCM334’ grafted plants and ‘Early Calwonder’ self rooted plants, including seven DEPs related to Phytophthora capsici resistance (CA01g31060, CA02g15780, CA02g30850, CA01g11410, CA05g12260, CA03g35150, and CA03g36980) and five proteins with unknown functions (CA01g26190, CA11g10620, CA12g02730, CA01g20890 and CA02g11340). Through qRT-PCR analysis, a significant correlation was observed between the protein and transcript levels of these 12 DEPs, and their expression characteristics were analyzed in the roots and leaves of ‘ZCM334’ grafted plants and ‘Early Calwonder’ self rooted plants at different stages (0h, 12h, 24h, and 36h) after inoculation with Phytophthora capsici. This study provides valuable information for exploring the molecular mechanisms by which grafting enhances the resistance of pepper to Phytophthora blight and the excavation of these key genes provides research ideas for studying the regulatory network of pepper resistance to Phytophthora capsici.
