Project description:We sequenced mRNA and small RNA (sRNA) profiles in the interaction between Brachypodium distachyon (Bd) and Serendipita indica (Si; syn. Piriformospora indica), at four (4) days post inoculation (DPI). mRNA sequencing reads of Si-colonized and non-colonized roots, as well as axenic fungal cultures were generated. Three biological samples of each were sequenced, with two technical replicates per sample (PE).
Project description:Colonization of barley roots with the basidiomycete fungus Piriformospora indica enhances resistance against the leaf pathogen Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei (Bgh). To identify genes involved in this mycorrhiza-induced systemic resistance, we used the Affymetrix Barley1 22K gene chip for leaf transcriptome analysis of P. indica-colonized and non-colonized barley plants 12, 24 and 96 hours post inoculation (hpi) with a compatible Bgh strain.
Project description:We sequenced mRNA and small RNA (sRNA) profiles in the interaction between Brachypodium distachyon (Bd) and Serendipita indica (Si; syn. Piriformospora indica), at four (4) days post inoculation (DPI). sRNA sequencing reads of Si-colonized and non-colonized roots, as well as axenic fungal cultures were generated. Three biological samples of each were sequenced, with two technical replicates per sample (SE). Raw reads from sRNA sequencing were submitted to technical adapter trimming (Cutadapt) before upload.
Project description:Identification of transcripts that change expression in roots of Nicotiana attenuata plants with reduced expression of HSPRO and in association with Piriformospora indica. Gene expression in roots of Nicotiana attenuata wild type and ir-hspro seedlings was measured at 14 days after inoculation with Piriformospora indica. Three independent experiments were performed with wild type plants and three independent experiments were performed with ir-hspro plants.

Project description:Lipids play crucial roles in plant-microbe interactions, functioning as structural components, signaling molecules, and microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs); however, the mechanisms underlying lipid perception and signaling pathways in plants remain largely unknown. This study investigates the immune responses triggered in Hordeum vulgare (barley) by lipid extracts from the root endophytic fungus Serendipita indica. We compare these responses to those elicited by the carbohydrate MAMP chitohexaose and the fungal sterol lipid ergosterol, a 5,7-diene oxysterol recognized as a MAMP in plants. Our results demonstrate that S. indica lipid extract induces hallmarks of pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) in barley. Ergosterol was identified as the main immunogenic component and was detected in the apoplastic fluid of S. indica-colonized barley roots. Using a multi-omics approach combining transcriptomics, phosphoproteomics, and metabolomics, our data provide evidence for the activation of phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) signaling and diterpene biosynthesis upon exposure to fungal lipids. Furthermore, we show that phosphatidic acid (PA) enhances lipid-mediated apoplastic reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in barley. These findings indicate that plant lipids mediate immune responses to fungal lipids in barley, advancing our understanding of lipid perception and signaling in plant-microbe interactions.
Project description:The fungal mutualist Piriformospora indica is colonising barley roots thereby mediating various beneficial effects to its host. The interaction is characterised by an initial biotrophic interaction stage which is followed by a cell death-dependent colonisation phase. We used microarrays to identify the global programme of gene expression during the colonisation process of barley roots by P. indica and to obtain informations into plant defense and metabolic reprogramming. In three independent experiments plants were inoculated with Piriformospora indica. Samples from inoculated roots were taken at 1, 3, and 7 days after inoculation. Samples from uninfected control plants were taken at the same time points.
