Project description:Plants are attacked by diverse herbivores and respond with manifold defense responses. To study transcriptional and other early regulation events of these plant responses, herbivory is often mimicked to standardize the temporal and spatial dynamics that vary tremendously for natural herbivory. Yet to what extent such mimics of herbivory are able to elicit the same plant response as real herbivory remains largely undetermined. We examined the transcriptional response of a new model plant to herbivory by a lepidopteran larva and to a commonly used herbivory mimic by applying the larvae’s oral secretions to standardized wounds. We designed a microarray for Solanum dulcamara and showed that the transcriptional response to real and to simulated herbivory by Spodoptera exigua overlapped moderately by about 40%. Interestingly, certain responses were mimicked better than others; 60% of the genes up-regulated but not even a quarter of the genes down-regulated by herbivory were similarly affected by application of oral secretions to wounds. While the regulation of genes involved in signaling, defense and water stress were mirrored well by the herbivory mimic, most of the genes related to photosynthesis, carbohydrate- and lipid metabolism were exclusively regulated by real herbivory. Thus, wounding and elicitor application decently mimics herbivory-induced defense responses but likely not the re-allocation of primary metabolites induced by real herbivory.

Project description:Climate change is predicted to increase the occurrence of extreme weather events such as heatwaves, which may thereby impact the outcome of plant-herbivore interactions. While elevated temperature is known to directly affect herbivore growth, it remains largely unclear if it indirectly influences herbivore performance by affecting the host plant they feed on. In this study, we investigated how transient exposure to high temperature influences plant herbivory-induced defenses at the transcript and metabolic level. To this end, we studied the interaction between potato (Solanum tuberosum) plants and the larvae of the potato tuber moth (Phthorimaea operculella) under different temperature regimes. We found that P. operculella larvae grew heavier on leaves co-stressed by high temperature and insect herbivory than on leaves pre-stressed by herbivory alone. We also observed that high temperature treatments altered phylotranscriptomic patterns upon herbivory, which changed from an evolutionary hourglass pattern, in which transcriptomic responses at early and late time points after elicitation are more variable than the ones in the middle, to a vase pattern. Specifically, transcripts of many herbivory-induced genes in the early and late defense stage were suppressed by HT treatment, whereas those in the intermediate stage peaked earlier. Additionally, we observed that high temperature impaired the induction of jasmonates and defense compounds upon herbivory. Moreover, using jasmonate-reduced (JA-reduced, irAOC) and -elevated (JA-Ile-elevated, irCYP94B3s) potato plants, we showed that high temperature suppresses JA signaling mediated plant-induced defense to herbivore attack. Thus, our study provides evidences on how temperature reprograms plant-induced defense to herbivores.

Project description:BackgroundThe potato tuber moth (PTM), Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller), is a worldwide pest that feeds on both the leaves and tubers of potato plants. PTM larvae can digest leaves, or tubers, resulting in serious damage to potato plants in the field and potato tubers in storage. To understand how midgut bacterial diversity is influenced by the consumption of these two tissue types, the symbiotic bacteria in the potato-feeding PTM midgut and the endophytic bacteria of potato tissues were analyzed.ResultsAt the genus level, the bacterial community composition in the PTM midgut was influenced by the tissues consumed, owing to their different nutrient contents. Escherichia_Shigella and Enterobacter were the most dominant genera in the midgut of leaf-feeding and tuber-feeding PTMs, respectively. Interestingly, even though only present in low abundance in leaves and tubers, Escherichia_Shigella were dominantly distributed only in the midgut of leaf-feeding PTMs, indicating that specific accumulation of these genera have occurred by feeding on leaves. Moreover, Enterobacter, the most dominant genus in the midgut of tuber-feeding PTMs, was undetectable in all potato tissues, indicating it is gut-specific origin and tuber feeding-specific accumulation. Both Escherichia_Shigella and Enterobacter abundances were positively correlated with the dominant contents of potato leaves and tubers, respectively.ConclusionsEnrichment of specific PTM midgut bacterial communities was related to different nutrient levels in different tissues consumed by the insect, which in turn influenced host utilization. We provide evidence that a portion of the intestinal microbes of PTMs may be derived from potato endophytic bacteria and improve the understanding of the relationship between potato endophytic bacteria and the gut microbiota of PTMs, which may offer support for integrated management of this worldwide pest.

Project description:BackgroundThe late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans can attack both potato foliage and tubers. Although interaction transcriptome dynamics between potato foliage and various pathogens have been reported, no transcriptome study has focused specifically upon how potato tubers respond to pathogen infection. When inoculated with P. infestans, tubers of nontransformed 'Russet Burbank' (WT) potato develop late blight disease while those of transgenic 'Russet Burbank' line SP2211 (+RB), which expresses the potato late blight resistance gene RB (Rpi-blb1), do not. We compared transcriptome responses to P. infestans inoculation in tubers of these two lines.ResultsWe demonstrated the practicality of RNA-seq to study tetraploid potato and present the first RNA-seq study of potato tuber diseases. A total of 483 million paired end Illumina RNA-seq reads were generated, representing the transcription of around 30,000 potato genes. Differentially expressed genes, gene groups and ontology bins that exhibited differences between the WT and +RB lines were identified. P. infestans transcripts, including those of known effectors, were also identified.ConclusionFaster and stronger activation of defense related genes, gene groups and ontology bins correlate with successful tuber resistance against P. infestans. Our results suggest that the hypersensitive response is likely a general form of resistance against the hemibiotrophic P. infestans-even in potato tubers, organs that develop below ground.

Project description:Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) is a naked, circular, single-stranded RNA (356-363 nucleotides in length) which lacks any protein-coding sequences. It is an economically important pathogen and is classified as a high-risk plant quarantine disease. Moreover, it is known that PSTVd is mechanically transmitted by vegetative plant propagation through infected pollen, and by aphids. The aim of this study is to determine the possibility of viroid transmission by potato pathogen Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary. PSTVd-infected (strain VP87) potato cultivars Gala, Colomba, and Riviera were inoculated with P. infestans isolate PiVZR18, and in 7 days, after the appearance of symptoms, re-isolation of P. infestans on rye agar was conducted. RT-PCR diagnostics of PSTVd in a mixture of mycelia and sporangia were positive after 14 days of cultivation on rye agar. The PSTVd-infected P. infestans isolate PiVZR18v+ was used to inoculate the healthy, viroid-free plants of potato cv. Gala and tomato cv. Zagadka. After 60 days, an amplification fragment of PSTVd was detected in the tissues of one plant of tomato cv. Zagadka by RT-PCR with the primer set P3/P4, indicating successful transmission of PSTVd by P. infestans isolate PiVZR18v+. This result was confirmed by sequencing of the RT-PCR amplicon with primers P3/P4. The partial sequence of this amplicon was identical (99.5 %) to PSTVd strain VP87. RT-PCR showed the possibility of viroid stability in a pure culture of P. infestans isolate PiVZR18v+ after three consecutive passages on rye agar. PSTVd was not detected after the eighth passage on rye agar in P. infestans subculture. These results are initial evidence of potato viroid PSTVd being bidirectionally transferred between P. infestans and host plants.

Project description:BackgroundSucrose transporters (SUTs) mediate sucrose phloem loading in source tissue and sucrose unloading into sink tissue in potatoes and higher plants, thus playing a crucial role in plant growth and development. In potatoes, the physiological function of the sucrose transporters StSUT1 and StSUT4 has been clarified, whereas the physiological role of StSUT2 is not yet fully understood.Methods and resultsThis study analyzed the relative expression of StSUT2 compared to that of StSUT1 and StSUT4 in different tissues from potatoes and its impact on different physiological characteristics by using StSUT2-RNA interference lines. Here, we report a negative effect of StSUT2-RNA interference on plant height, fresh weight, internodes number, leaf area, flowering time, and tuber yield. However, our data indicate that StSUT2 is not involved in carbohydrate accumulation in potato leaves and tubers. In addition, the data of the RNA-seq between the StSUT2-RNA interference line and WT showed that 152 genes were differentially expressed, of which 128 genes were upregulated and 24 genes were downregulated, and the GO and KEGG analyses revealed that differentially expressed genes were mainly related to cell wall composition metabolism.ConclusionsThus, StSUT2 functions in potato plant growth, flowering time, and tuber yield without affecting carbohydrate accumulation in the leaves and tubers but may be involved in cell wall composition metabolism.

Project description:Chitin is a major component of insect exoskeleton, tracheal system and gut where it is synthesized by chitin synthase (CHS) enzymes. In this paper, we report the isolation and RNAi of chitin synthase A (PhoCHSA) from the potato tuber moth Phthorimaea operculella. The full-length cDNA of PhoCHSA is 5,627 bp with 4,689 bp open reading frame coding for 1,563 amino acids. Structural analysis of conceptual amino acid translation showed three distinct regions found in all known insect CHS proteins; N-terminus region having 9 transmembrane helices, middle catalytic region containing several conserved domains identified in insect CHS enzymes, and C-terminus region containing seven transmembrane spans. Phylogenetic analysis showed that PhoCHSA protein clustered with CHSA enzymes identified from insects from different insect orders. RNAi targeting three different regions of the gene showed different efficacy against potato tuber moth larvae and dsRNA targeting the 5' region has the highest efficacy. Results were verified by qRT-PCR which showed that dsRNA targeting the 5' region caused the highest reduction in PhoCHSA mRNA level. Our results show the importance of selecting the RNAi target region and that chitin synthase A can be a suitable RNAi target for the potato tuber moth control.
