Project description:Take-all is a devastating soil-borne disease that affects wheat production. The continuous generation of disease-resistance germplasm is an important aspect of the management of this pathogen. In this study, we characterized the wheat-Psathyrostachys huashania Keng-derived progeny H139 that exhibits significantly improved resistance to wheat take-all disease compared with its susceptible parent 7182. GISH) and mc-FISH analyses revealed that H139 is a stable wheat-P. huashania disomic substitution line lacking wheat chromosome 2D.EST-STS marker and Wheat Axiom 660K Genotyping Array analysis further revealed that H139 was a novel wheat-P. huashania 2Ns/2D substitution line, and that the P. huashania 2Ns chromosome shares high sequence similarity to wheat chromosome 2D. These results indicate that H139, with its enhanced wheat take-all disease resistance and desirable agronomic traits, provides valuable genetic resources for wheat chromosome engineering breeding.
Project description:We present metaproteome data from wheat rhizosphere from saline and non-saline soil. For collection and acquisition of metaproteome from wheat rhizosphere under saline and normal conditions, a survey was conducted in regions of Haryana, India. Samples from 65 days old plants (wheat var HD2967) were collected and pooled and based on EC,saline (NBAIM B; EC 6mS cm-1; pH 9.0; Bhaupur 2, Haryana, INDIA; 29°19'8"N;76°48'53"E) and normal soil samples (NBAIM C; EC 200 uS cm-1; pH 7.2; Near Nainform, Haryana, INDIA; 29°19'8"N;76°48'53"E) were selected for isolation of proteome with the standardized protocol at our laboratory followed by metaproteome analysis with the standardized pipepline. In total 1538 and 891 proteins were obtained from wheat rhizosphere from saline and non-saline respectively with the given parameters and software. Among 1410 proteins unique for saline soil, proteins responsible for glycine, serine and threonine metabolism and arginine and proline biosynthesis were found in saline and absent in non-saline. The present study extends knowledge about the physiology and adaptations of the wheat rhizosphere associated microbiota under saline soil.

Project description:Protist amplicon sequencing from wheat rhizosphere
Project description:Despite the broad use of single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing in plant research, accurate cluster annotation in less studied plant species remains a major challenge due to the lack of validated marker genes. Here, using soil-grown wheat roots as a model, we generated a single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) atlas and annotated cluster identities in an unbiased way by transferring existing annotations from publicly available datasets in wheat, rice, maize and Arabidopsis. These cross-species orthology-based predictions were next validated using untargeted spatial transcriptomics. This information refined existing cluster annotations for different datasets across key plant model species. We then used the validated clusters to generate cell type-specific gene regulatory networks for root tissues of wheat and two other monocot crop species. By integrating all available data, including homeolog expression in wheat, we predicted reliable tissue-specific markers which are conserved across different species. In summary, we provided an annotated and validated single cell transcriptomic resource for soil-grown wheat root apical meristems and revealed conserved cell type-specific regulators and markers across species. These data expand upon previous root single cell atlas resources in crops, and will facilitate cell type annotation in non-model plant species in the future.

Project description:Microarrays were used to identify transcriptional responses in field-grown root material of wheat in order to dissect specific gene expression responses to limited macronutrient availability, particularly phosphate. This study fills the gap between the transcriptome studies on model plants and the lack of studies on soil-grown wheat aiming to identify candidate genes for enhancing nutrient uptake efficiency.
