Project description:Transcription profiling of the DSF regulon in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) using wild type and the rpfF mutant. Cell-cell signaling mediated by the quorum sensing molecule known as Diffusible Signaling factor (DSF) is required for virulence of Xanthomonas group of plant pathogens. DSF in different Xanthomonas and the closely related plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa regulates diverse traits in a strain specific manner. The transcriptional profiling performed in this study is to elucidate the traits regulated by DSF from the Indian isolate of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, which exhibits traits very different from other Xanthomonas group of plant pathogen. In this study, transcription analysis was done between a wild type Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae strain and an isogenic strain that has a mutation in the DSF biosynthetic gene rpfF.

Project description:In this study, using a novel dual RNA-seq approach we monitored the global transcriptional changes in real time of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola and rice during infection. Our transcriptome maps of Xoc strains infecting rice provide mechanistic insights into the bacterias adaptive responses to the host niche, with modulation of central metabolism being an important signature. The study also uncovers that infected rice responds by substantial alteration of the cell wall, stress and structural proteins.
Project description:OsEDS1 is a key regulator of SA-mediated immunity in plants. The OsEDS1 knockout mutant (Oseds1) was characterized and shown to have increased susceptibility to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc), suggesting the positive role of OsEDS1 in regulating rice disease resistance. To identify differentially regulated downstream of Oseds1, we performed transcriptome deep sequencing (RNA-seq) of wild type (ZH11) and Oseds1 inoculated with Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae (PXO99A).
Project description:X. oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is the causal agent of bacterial blight of rice. X. oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) is the causal agent of bacterial streak of rice. Fourteen day old rice leaves were inoculated with one of five strains of Xanthomonas oryzae. Seven strains of Xoo were used; three wild type strains (PXO99A, T7174, and PXO86) and strains PXO99AME7, which has a nonfunctional type III secretion system and is non-pathogenic, , PXO99AME1, a pthXo6 and avrXa27 double mutant, PXO99ME2, a pthXo1 mutant, and PXO99ME5, a reduced virulence strain with uncharacterized mutation in a TAL effector. One strain of Xoc (BLS303) was tested. Controls include an inoculation with water (MOCK) and no inoculation. T7174 is our label for the Japanese isolate MAFF311018. Third leaves are inoculated with a needless syringe at adjacent sites along the upper leaf blade. Six leaves from separate plants are pooled. RNA samples were collected 24 h after treatment. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Ginny Antony.

Project description:Endogenous small RNAs are newly identified players in plant immune responses, yet their roles in rice (Oryza sativa) responding to pathogens are still less understood, especially for pathogens that can cause severe yield losses. Here, we examined the small RNA expression profiles of rice leaves at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours post infection of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) virulent strain PXO99, the causal agent of rice bacterial blight disease. Dynamic expression changes of some miRNAs and trans-acting siRNAs (ta-siRNAs) were identified, together with a few novel miRNA targets, including a disease resistance gene targeted by osa-miR159a.1. Coordinated expression changes were observed among some miRNA and ta-siRNAs in response to Xoo infection, with small RNAs exhibiting the same expression pattern tended to regulate genes in the same or functional correlated signaling pathways, including auxin and GA signaling pathways, nutrition and defense related pathways, etc. Highly abundant small RNAs with pathogen-responsive expression changes were identified from the exonic region of a protein-coding gene, which may present a new class of functional small RNAs. These findings reveal the dynamic and complex roles of small RNAs in rice-pathogen interactions, and identified new targets for regulating plant immune responses.
