Project description:BACKGROUND: Western flower thrips are considered the major insect pest of horticultural crops worldwide, causing economic and yield loss to Solanaceae crops. The eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) resistance against thrips remains largely unexplored. This work aims to identify thrips-resistant eggplants and dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying this resistance using the integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses of thrips-resistant and -susceptible cultivars. RESULTS: We developed a micro-cage thrips bioassay to identify thrips-resistant eggplant cultivars, and highly resistant cultivars were identified from wild eggplant relatives. Metabolomic profiles of thrips-resistant and -susceptible eggplant were compared using the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based approach, resulting in the identification of a higher amount of quinic acid in thrips-resistant eggplant compared to the thrips-susceptible plant. RNA-sequencing analysis identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by comparing genome-wide gene expression changes between thrips-resistant and -susceptible eggplants. Consistent with metabolomic analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs revealed that the starch and sucrose metabolic pathway in which quinic acid is a metabolic by-product was highly enriched. External application of quinic acid enhances the resistance of susceptible eggplant to thrips. CONCLUSION: Our results showed that quinic acid plays a key role in the resistance to thrips. These findings highlight a potential application of quinic acid as a biocontrol agent to manage thrips and expand our knowledge to breed thrips-resistant eggplant.

Project description:In the current study, we sought to elucidate the plant-mediated mechanisms underlying the interaction between TSWV and its insect vector, F. occidentalis in the plant host, tomato, Solanum lycopersicum L. We performed replicated greenhouse and laboratory experiments to confirm that TSWV altered vector performance and behavior in ways that improved virus transmission. To characterize plant molecular mechanisms, microarray analysis was done in tomato plants that were systemically-infected with TSWV, infested with thrips, or both TSWV and thrips using Affymetrix Tomato GeneChip®. The tomato microarray chip includes many defense- and stress-related genes and genes related to chloroplast function, cell wall modification, and protein synthesis which we hypothesized would be involved in TSWV-vector interaction.
