Project description:The bacterium, Sinorhizobium meliloti, interacts symbiotically with leguminous plants such as Medicago truncatula to form nitrogen-fixing root nodules. During symbiosis, plant and bacterial cells differentiate in a coordinated manner, resulting in specialized plant cells that contain nitrogen-fixing bacteroids. Medicago nodules are organized in structurally distinct tissue zones, representing different stages of bacterial and plant differentiation. We used laser-capture microdissection (LCM) to analyze bacterial and plant gene expression in four root nodule regions. In parallel, we analyzed gene expression in nodules formed by wild type bacteria on six plant mutants with nitrogen fixation deficiencies (dnf). We found that bacteroid metabolism is drastically remodeled during bacteroid differentiation. Many processes required for bacterial growth are down-regulated in the nitrogen fixation zone. The overall transcriptional changes are similar to those occurring during nutrient limitation by the stringent response. We also observed differential expression of bacterial genes involved in nitrogen fixation, cell envelope homeostasis, cell division, stress response and polyamine biosynthesis at distinct stages of nodule development. In M. truncatula we observed the differential regulation of several host processes that may trigger bacteroid differentiation and control bacterial infection. We analyzed plant and bacterial gene expression simultaneously, which allowed us to correlate processes in both organisms.

Project description:Rhizoremediation, the biotechnology of the utilization of rhizospheric microorganisms associated with plant roots for the elimination of soil contaminants, is based on the ability of microorganisms to metabolize nutrients from plant root exudates, in order to survive the stressful conditions of the rhizosphere, and thereby, to co-metabolize or even mineralize toxic environmental contaminants. Novosphingobium sp. HR1a is a bacterial strain able to degrade a wide variety of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We have demonstrated that this bacterium is able to grow in vegetated microcosms and to eliminate phenanthrene in the presence of clover faster than in non-vegetated systems, establishing a positive interaction with clover. We have studied the molecular basis of this interaction by phenomic, metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses, demonstrating that the positive interaction between clover and Novosphingobium sp. HR1a is a result of the bacterial utilization of different carbon and nitrogen sources (such as sugars, amino acids and organic acids) released during seedling development, and the capacity of exudates to induce the PAH degradation pathway. These results are pointing out to Novosphingobium sp. HR1a as a promising strain for the bioremediation of PAH-contaminated soils.

Project description:Legumes establish endosymbiotic associations with nitrogen-fixing rhizobia, which they host inside root nodules. Here, specific physiological and morphological adaptations, such as the production of oxygen-binding leghemoglobin proteins and the formation of an oxygen diffusion barrier in the nodule periphery, are essential to protect the oxygen-labile bacterial nitrogenase enzyme. The molecular basis of the latter process remains elusive, as the identification of required genes is limited by the epistatic effect of nodule organogenesis over nodule infection and rhizobia accommodation. We overcame this by exploring the phenotypic diversity of Lotus japonicus accessions that uncouple nodule organogenesis from nodule infection when inoculated with a sub-compatible Rhizobium strain. Using comparative transcriptomics, we identified genes with functions associated with oxygen homeostasis and deposition of lipid polyesters on cell walls to be specifically upregulated in infected compared to uninfected nodules. As such hydrophobic modifications on cell walls are pivotal for creating diffusion barriers like the root endodermis, we focused on two Fatty acyl-CoA reductase genes that were specifically activated in the nodule or in the root endodermis. Mutant lines in a Fatty acyl-CoA reductase gene expressed exclusively in the nodule endodermis showed had decreased suberization of this cell layer and increased nodule permeability compared to wild type plants. Oxygen concentrations were significantly increased in the inner cortex of mutant nodules, which correlated with reduced nitrogen fixation rates, and impaired shoot growth. These results provide the first genetic evidence for the formation of the nodule oxygen diffusion barrier, a key adaptation enabling nitrogen fixation in legume nodules.

Project description:Of all the essential nutrients, nitrogen is the one most often limiting for plant growth. Nitrogen can be taken up by plants in two ways. One possibility is through ammonium and nitrate, which are the predominate inorganic forms of nitrogen in soils. The second possibility is the uptake of air-born nitrogen through plant-associated mircoorganisms in root nodules. The majority of plants able to form such nitrogen-fixing root nodules are in the legume family Fabaceae. Here we present a third possibility – a new pathway, termed as nitric oxide (NO)-fixation pathway, which allows plants to fix atmospheric NO and to use it for better growth and development. We identified non-symbiotic hemoglobin class 1 (AtGLB1) and class 2 (AtGLB2) as key proteins of the NO-fixation pathway. In an NO enriched environment NO-fixation is enhanced considerably in plants overexpressing AtGLB1 or AtGLB2 genes. NO uptake resulted in four-fold higher nitrate levels in these plants compared to NO-treated wild-type plants. Correspondingly, the growth parameters like rosettes size and weight, vegetative shoot thickness and also seed yield were 25%, 40%, 30%, and 20% higher, respectively, in the overexpression lines in comparison to wild-type plants. Our results highlight the existence of a NO-fixing pathway in plants. We demonstrated that plant non-symbiotic hemoglobin proteins can fix atmospheric NO and convert it to nitrate, which is further introduced into the N-metabolism. We assume that our results might provide new insights into the field of crop science research and that the NO-fixation capability might serve as a new economically important breeding trait for enhancing biomass, fruit, and seed production. Modifying this pathway might be a promising approach for better and more environment-friendly supply of nitrogen. For example crop plant hemoglobin proteins could be improved for their NO-fixing capability and their expression levels could be increased.

Project description:Paraburkholderia phymatum belongs to the β-subclass of proteobacteria. It has recently been shown to be able to nodulate and fix nitrogen in symbiosis with several mimosoid and papillionoid legumes. In contrast to symbiosis of legumes with α-proteobacteria, very little is known about the molecular determinants underlying the successful establishment of this mutualistic relationship with β-proteobacteria. In this study, we analyzed RNA-seq data of free-living P. phymatum growing under nitrogen replete and limited conditions, the latter partially mimicking the situation in nitrogen deprived soils. Among the genes up-regulated under nitrogen limitation, we found genes involved in exopolysaccharide production and motility, two traits relevant for plant root infection. Next, RNA-seq data of P. phymatum grown under free-living conditions and from symbiotic root nodules of Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean) were generated and compared. Among the genes highly up-regulated during symbiosis, we identified an operon encoding a potential cytochrome o ubiquinol oxidase (Bphy_3646-49). Bean root nodules induced by a cyoB mutant strain showed reduced nitrogenase and nitrogen fixation abilities suggesting an important role of the cytochrome for respiration inside the nodule. Analysis of mutant strains for RNA polymerase transcription factor rpoN (σ54) and its activator NifA indicated that – similar to the situation in α-rhizobia – P. phymatum RpoN and NifA are key regulators during symbiosis with P. vulgaris.
