Temporal changes in the wheat leaf apoplastic proteome infected by an incompatible or compatible race of leaf rust (Puccinia triticina)

ABSTRACT: Wheat leaf rust caused by the pathogenic fungus Puccinia triticina, is a serious threat to bread wheat and durum production in many areas of the world. This plant-pathogen interaction has been studied extensively at the molecular genetics level, however proteomics data are still relatively scarce. The present study investigated temporal changes in the abundance of the apoplastic fluid proteome of wheat leaves infected with either virulent or avirulent races of P. triticina, using a label-free LC-MS-based approach. In general, there was very little difference between inoculated and control apoplastic proteomes as a result of either race of pathogen, until haustoria had become well established in the incompatible interaction, although the resistant host responds to pathogen challenge sooner than the susceptible. In the earlier samplings (up to 72 h after inoculation), there were 46 host proteins with significantly changing abundance, however pathogen proteins were detected only rarely and not reproducibly. This is consistent with the hemi-biotrophic life-style of P. triticina; the pathogen infection is characterized by an early phase of a symbiosis-like relationship, followed by a later stage of pathogenesis, with tissue damage and parasitism. The majority of the host proteins with altered abundance up to 72 h post-inoculation were pathogen-response-related, including peroxidases, chitinases, β-1-3-endo-glucanases and PR-proteins. Five days after inoculation with the incompatible race it was possible to detect 150 PT proteins and 117 host proteins which had significantly increased in abundance as well as 33 host proteins which had significantly decreased in abundance and which represent potential targets of pathogen effectors. The pathogen-expressed proteins – seen most abundantly in the incompatible interaction – were mostly uncharacterized proteins, however many of their functions could be inferred through homology-matching with pBLAST. Pathogen proteins also included several candidate effector proteins, some novel and some which have been reported previously from the purified haustoria proteome.

Project description:Host-pathogen co-evolutionary dynamics force microbial plant pathogens to constantly develop and adjust specific adaptations to thrive in their plant host, and therefore also act as strong drivers of divergence and speciation in pathogens. Factors that confer host specialization and determine host specificity are very diverse and range from molecular and morphological strategies to metabolic and reproductive adaptations. Identification of these key factors is a major goal in the study of pathogen evolution and may aid the development of sustainable crops and crop protection strategies. We here took a novel experimental approach and conducted comparative microscopy and transcriptome analyses of the closely related, recently diverged fungal pathogens Zymoseptoria tritici, Z. pseudotritici, and Z. ardabiliae that establish compatible and incompatible interactions with wheat. Although infections of the incompatible species induce plant defense response during invasion of stomatal openings, we found a highly conserved early-infection program among the three species. The transcriptional programs of the three pathogens are conserved to a large extent, as only 9.2% of the 8,885 orthologous genes are significantly differentially expressed during initial infection of wheat. The genes up-regulated in the compatible pathogen reflect adaptation to growth in wheat tissue e.g., by re-programming of fungal metabolism. In contrast, genes primarily involved in counteracting cell stress and damage are strongly induced in the incompatible species. Based on the species-specific gene expression profiles, we further identified nine candidate genes encoding putative effectors and host-specificity determinants in Z. tritici. These effectors are strongly induced in the compatible species and may interfere with host immune suppression. We also identify putative necrotrophic effectors which are induced at the onset of necrotrophic growth. Together, the results presented here indicate that host specialization has involved transcriptional adaptation of a relatively small number of genes. Our findings demonstrate the potential comparative analyses of compatible and incompatible infections present for identifying traits involved in pathogen evolution and host specialization.
