Project description:We performed Illumina sequencing of sRNA libraries prepared from juvenile and reproductive phase buds from the apple trees. A large number of sRNAs exemplified by 33 previously annotated miRNAs and 6 novel members displayed significant differential expression (DE) patterns in juvenile and reproductive stages. The study provides new insight into our understanding of fundamental mechanism of poorly studied phase transitions in apple and other woody plants and important resource for future in-depth research in the apple development.

Project description:Asymptomatic plants grown in natural soil are colonized by phylogenetically structured communities of microbes known as the microbiota. Individual microbiota members can activate host innate immunity, which limits pathogen proliferation and curtails plant growth, a phenomenon known as the growth-defense trade-off. We report that in mono-associations, 41% (62/151) of taxonomically diverse root commensals suppress Arabidopsis root growth inhibition (RGI) triggered by immune-stimulating microbe-/damage-associated molecular patterns. 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data reveal that immune activation alters the profile of synthetic communities (SynComs) comprised of RGI non-suppressive strains, while the presence of RGI-suppressive strains attenuates this effect. Chronic root transcriptional outputs in response to colonization with RGI-suppressive or non-suppressive SynComs share a core of genes with a stereotyped expression pattern. However, RGI-suppressive SynComs specifically downregulate a subset of immune-related genes. Such SynCom-specific modulation of defense is physiologically relevant as mutation of one commensal-downregulated transcription factor, MYB15, or pre-colonization with an RGI-suppressive SynCom render plants more susceptible to opportunistic Pseudomonas pathogens. Our results suggest that commensals with contrasting MTI modulating capacities interact with the plant host and together buffer the system against pathogen challenge, defense-associated plant growth inhibition and community shift via a crosstalk with the immune system, leading to commensal-host homeostasis.

Project description:In this study we developed metaproteomics based methods for quantifying taxonomic composition of microbiomes (microbial communities). We also compared metaproteomics based quantification to other quantification methods, namely metagenomics and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The metagenomic and 16S rRNA data can be found in the European Nucleotide Archive (Study number: PRJEB19901). For the method development and comparison of the methods we analyzed three types of mock communities with all three methods. The communities contain between 28 to 32 species and strains of bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes and bacteriophage. For each community type 4 biological replicate communities were generated. All four replicates were analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing and metaproteomics. Three replicates of each community type were analyzed with metagenomics. The "C" type communities have same cell/phage particle number for all community members (C1 to C4). The "P" type communities have the same protein content for all community members (P1 to P4). The "U" (UNEVEN) type communities cover a large range of protein amounts and cell numbers (U1 to U4). We also generated proteomic data for four pure cultures to test the specificity of the protein inference method. This data is also included in this submission.

Project description:Asymptomatic plants grown in natural soil are colonized by phylogenetically structured communities of microbes known as the microbiota. Individual microbes can activate microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP)-triggered immunity (MTI), which limits pathogen proliferation but curtails plant growth, a phenomenon known as the growth-defense trade-off. We report that in mono-associations, 41% (62/151) of taxonomically diverse root bacteria commensals suppress Arabidopsis thaliana root growth inhibition (RGI) triggered by immune-stimulating MAMPs or damage-associated molecular patterns. Amplicon sequencing of bacteria 16S rRNA genes reveal that immune activation alters the profile of synthetic communities (SynComs) comprised of RGI-non-suppressive strains, while the presence of RGI-suppressive strains attenuates this effect. Root colonization by SynComs with different complexities and RGI-suppressive activities alters the expression of 174 core host genes with functions related to root development and nutrient transport. Further, RGI-suppressive SynComs specifically downregulate a subset of immune-related genes. Mutation of one commensal-downregulated transcription factor, MYB15, or pre-colonization with RGI-suppressive SynComs render plants more susceptible to opportunistic Pseudomonas pathogens. Our results suggest that RGI-non-suppressive and suppressive root commensals modulate host susceptibility to pathogens by either eliciting or dampening MTI responses, respectively. This interplay buffers the plant immune system against pathogen perturbation and defense-associated growth inhibition, ultimately leading to commensal-host homeostasis.

Project description:A transcriptomic approach was implemented using two Penicillium species to identify genes related to fungal aggressiveness in apple fruit and loci contained in ungerminated conidia. Total RNA was isolated from ungerminated conidia and decayed apple fruit infected with P. expansum R19 (aggressive) or P. polonicum RS1 (weak). There were 2,442 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the R19 and RS1 in apple and comparisons within species between apple and conidia revealed 4,404 DEGs for R19, and 2935 for RS1, respectively. Gene ontology (GO) revealed differential regulation in fungal transport and metabolism genes expressed during decay, suggesting a flux in nutrient acquisition and detoxification strategies. In R19, the oxidoreductase GO category comprised 20% of all groups differentially expressed in decayed apple verses ungerminated conidia in addition to those involved in hydrogen peroxide metabolism. Ungerminated conidia from both species showed higher expression of genes encoding the glyoxylate shunt and beta-oxidation, specifying the earliest metabolic requirements for germination

Project description:Fire blight (FB) is a bacterial disease affecting plants from Rosaceae family, including apple and pear. FB develops after the infection of Erwinia amylovora, gram-negative enterobacterium, and results in burnt-like damages and wilting, which can affect all organs of the plant. Although the mechanisms underlying disease response in apples are not elucidated yet, it has been well described that FB resistance depends on the rootstock type. The main objective of this work was to identify miRNAs involved in response to bacterial infection in order to better explain apple defense mechanisms against fire blight disease. We performed deep sequencing of eighteen small RNA libraries obtained from inoculated and non-inoculated Gala apple leaves. 233 novel plant mature miRNAs were identified together with their targets and potential role in response to bacterial infection. We identify three apple miRNAs responding to inoculation (mdm-miR168a,b, mdm-miR194C and mdm-miR1392C) as well as miRNAs reacting to bacterial infection in a rootstock-specific manner (miR395 family). Our results provide insights into the mechanisms of fire blight resistance in apple.

Project description:Plants are naturally associated with diverse microbial communities, which play significant roles in plant performance, such as growth promotion or fending off pathogens. The roots of Alkanna tinctoria L. are rich in naphthoquinones, particularly the medicinally used chiral compounds alkannin, shikonin and their derivatives. Former studies already have shown that microorganisms may modulate plant metabolism. To further investigate the potential interaction between A. tinctoria and associated microorganisms we performed a greenhouse experiment, in which A. tinctoria plants were grown in the presence of three distinct soil microbiomes. At four defined plant developmental stages we made an in-depth assessment of bacterial and fungal root-associated microbiomes as well as all primary and secondary metabolites. Our results showed that the plant developmental stage was the most important driver influencing the plant metabolite content, revealing peak contents of alkannin/shikonin at the fruiting stage. In contrast, the soil microbiome had the biggest impact on the plant root microbiome. Correlation analyses performed on the measured metabolite content and the abundance of individual bacterial and fungal taxa suggested a dynamic, at times positive or negative relationship between root-associated microorganisms and root metabolism. In particular, the bacterial Allorhizobium-Neorhizobium-Pararhizobium-Rhizobium group and the fungal species Penicillium jensenii were found to be positively correlated with higher content of alkannins.
