Legume resistance against pathogen is enhanced by rhizobia and does not impair mutualism

ABSTRACT: Legumes establish nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with beneficial rhizobia. On the other hand, they might be attacked concomitantly by pathogens raising the question of potential trade-off between mutualism and immunity. Here, using a tripartite system involving the model legume Lotus japonicus, its rhizobial symbiont Mesorhizobium loti and the soil-borne pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum we investigated such trade-offs. We found that interaction with M. loti increases plant resistance against the pathogen without impairing mutualism. Genetic and proteomics characterisation indicate that Lotus resistance is mediated by Effector Triggered Immunity and is associated with distinct proteome modifications in roots and nodules. The inoculation of rhizobia, even if they are not mutualist, increases plant resistance. Our results question the concept of interference between efficient defense reactions and mutualistic interactions and is of great interest for agricultural purposes as it not only restricts pathogen colonisation but would also preserve nitrogen fixation and yield.

Cell-type specific transcriptome analysis in nodules of Lotus japonicus

Project description:Legume plants can establish symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) with rhizobia mostly in root nodules, where rhizobia-infected cells are accompanied with uninfected cells in a mosaic pattern. Inside the mature nodules of legume, carbon and nitrogen nutrients between host plant cells and their resident bacteria are actively exchanged. To elucidate the metabolite dynamics relevant for SNF in nodules, three cell-types from nodule tissues of a model legume, Lotus japonicus, were isolated using laser microdissesction, and transcriptome analysis was done by an oligoarray with 60-mer length representing 21,495 genes. In our cell-type-specific profiling, many genes were identified as being expressed in nodules with spatial-specific manners. Among them, genes coding for metabolic enzymes were classified according to their function, and detailed data analysis figured out that secondary metabolic pathway was highly activated in nodule cortex. In particular, a number of metabolic genes for phenyl propanoid pathway were found as highly expressed genes accompanied with those encoding putative transporters of secondary metabolites. These data suggest the involvement of novel physiological function of phenylpropanoids in SNF. Gene expression in three different cell-types of Lotus japonicus nodule was measured. Three independent experiments were performed at each cell-types.

RNA-seq analysis of distal gene expression changes during nodulation

Project description:Legume plants form symbiotic relationships with diazotrophic bacteria called rhizobia. During such symbiosis, plants provide bacteria with preferred carbon sources such as malate and succinate in return for essential reduced nitrogen. Compatible interactions result in a series of plant root modifications that eventually result in nodule formation. Bacteria living in the nodule cells fix nitrogen via the nitrogenase enzyme complex. Interestingly, as in plant-pathogen interactions, incompatibility in legume-rhizobia associations is also regulated in a genotype-specific manner. For example, the dominant Rj2 gene is presumed to help exclude poor nitrogen-fixing or less-beneficial rhizobia such as B. japonicum USDA122 (U122). The process likely involves recognition of bacterial effectors by host receptor proteins similar to the perception of pathogenic microbes. Our results show that genetic exclusion of incompatible rhizobia in the root requires conserved molecular components of the plant immune response pathway and results in the induction of systemic signaling in the distal tissue. To better understand the mechanism underlying incompatible rhizobia-induced systemic signaling, we compared the transcriptional changes in the foliar tissue of Rj2 plants inoculated with compatible or incompatible rhizobia strains, using RNA-Seq analysis.

Tissue-specific regulation of lipid polyester synthesis genes controlling oxygen permeation into Lotus japonicus nodules

Project description:Legumes establish endosymbiotic associations with nitrogen-fixing rhizobia, which they host inside root nodules. Here, specific physiological and morphological adaptations, such as the production of oxygen-binding leghemoglobin proteins and the formation of an oxygen diffusion barrier in the nodule periphery, are essential to protect the oxygen-labile bacterial nitrogenase enzyme. The molecular basis of the latter process remains elusive, as the identification of required genes is limited by the epistatic effect of nodule organogenesis over nodule infection and rhizobia accommodation. We overcame this by exploring the phenotypic diversity of Lotus japonicus accessions that uncouple nodule organogenesis from nodule infection when inoculated with a sub-compatible Rhizobium strain. Using comparative transcriptomics, we identified genes with functions associated with oxygen homeostasis and deposition of lipid polyesters on cell walls to be specifically upregulated in infected compared to uninfected nodules. As such hydrophobic modifications on cell walls are pivotal for creating diffusion barriers like the root endodermis, we focused on two Fatty acyl-CoA reductase genes that were specifically activated in the nodule or in the root endodermis. Mutant lines in a Fatty acyl-CoA reductase gene expressed exclusively in the nodule endodermis showed had decreased suberization of this cell layer and increased nodule permeability compared to wild type plants. Oxygen concentrations were significantly increased in the inner cortex of mutant nodules, which correlated with reduced nitrogen fixation rates, and impaired shoot growth. These results provide the first genetic evidence for the formation of the nodule oxygen diffusion barrier, a key adaptation enabling nitrogen fixation in legume nodules.

HBI1 integrates hormonal and environmental signals to regulate the trade-off between growth and immunity (ChIP-seq)

Project description:The trade-off between growth and immunity is crucial for survival in plants. An antagonistic interaction has been observed between the growth-promoting hormone brassinosteroid and pathogen associated molecular pattern (PAMP) signals, which induce immunity but inhibit growth, however the underlying molecular mechanism has remained unclear. The PRE-IBH1-HBI1 triple helix-loop-helix/basic helix-loop-helix (HLH/bHLH) cascade has been shown to mediate growth responses to several hormonal and environmental signals, but its downstream targets and role in immunity remain unknown. Here, we performed genome-wide analyses of HBI1 target genes in Arabidopsis. The results show that HBI1 regulates a set of genes that largely overlaps with targets of PIFs, but displays both similar and unique transcriptional activities compared to PIFs, supporting a role in fine-tuning the network through cooperation and antagonism with other DNA-binding factors of the network. Furthermore, HBI1 also negatively regulates a subset of defense response genes. Two PAMPs, flagellin and elongation factor, repressed HBI1 expression, whereas overexpression of HBI1 reduced the PAMP-induced growth inhibition, defense gene expression, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and flg22-induced resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pathovar tomato DC3000. These data indicate that HBI1 is a node for crosstalk between hormone and immune pathways. This study demonstrates that the PRE-IBH1-HBI1 module integrates hormone and pathogen signals, and thus plays a central role in the balance between growth and immunity in plants.

How legumes control nitrogen fixation by root nodule bacteria

Project description:Rhizobia are soil bacteria that can enter into complex symbiotic relationships with legumes, where rhizobia induce the formation of nodules on the plant root. Inside nodules, rhizobia differentiate into nitrogen-fixing bacteroids that reduce atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, secreting it to the plant host in exchange for carbon. During the transition from free-living bacteria to bacteroids, rhizobial metabolism undergoes major changes. To investigate the metabolism of bacteroids and contrast it with the free-living state, we quantified the proteome of unlabelled bacteroids relative to 15N-labelled free-living rhizobia. The data were used to build a core metabolic model of pea bacteroids for the strain Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae 3841.

Pervasive effects of an endophytic fungus on host genetic and phenotypic expression in a tropical tree (part 1)

Project description:Inoculation of endophyte-free (E-) Theobroma cacao leaves with Colletotrichum tropicale (E+), the dominant foliar fungal endophyte in healthy T. cacao, induced significant changes in the expression of hundreds of host genes. Further, E+ leaves exhibit enhanced pathogen resistance, increased lignin and cellulose content, reduced maximum rates of photosynthesis (Amax), and enrichment of nitrogen-15 and carbon-13 isotopes that all correspond to the changes in expression of specific functional genes in related pathways. Moreover, a cacao gene highly up-regulated in E+ leaves increases pathogen resistance apart from any direct endophyte effects. Thus, benefits of increased pathogen resistance in E+ plants are partially due to enhanced induction of intrinsic host defense pathways, and potential costs include reduced photosynthetic capacity and endophyte metabolism of host tissues. Similar effects are likely to be properties of most plant-endophyte interactions, suggesting general relevance to the design and interpretation of studies of genetic and phenotypic expression in plants.
