Project description:Verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) are a leading cause of food-borne illness. Fruit and vegetables are recognised as an important source of the pathogen and can account for ~ 25 % of food-borne VTEC outbreaks, globally. The ability of VTEC to colonise leaves and roots of leafy vegetables, spinach (Spinacia oleracea) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa), was compared. The highest levels of colonisation occurred in the roots and rhizosphere, whereas colonisation of the leaves was lower and significantly different between the species. Colonisation of the leaves of prickly lettuce (L. serriola), a wild relative of domesticated lettuce, was especially poor. Differential VTEC gene expression in spinach extracts was markedly different for three tissue types, with little overlap. Comparison of expression in the same tissue type, cell wall polysaccharides, for lettuce and spinach also showed substantial differences, again with virtually no overlap. The transcriptional response was largely dependent on temperatures that are relevant to plant growth, not warm-blooded animals. The data show that VTEC adaptation to plant hosts and subsequent colonisation potential is underpinned by wholescale changes in gene expression that are specific to both plant tissue type and to the species.

Project description:Elevated temperature limits plant growth and reproduction and poses a growing threat to agriculture. Plant heat stress response is highly conserved and fine-tuned in multiple pathways. Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is a cold tolerant but heat sensitive green leafy vegetable. In this study, heat adaptation mechanisms in spinach sibling inbred heat-tolerant line Sp75 were investigated using physiology, proteomics, and phosphoproteomics approaches. The abundance patterns of 911 heat stress-responsive proteins, and phosphorylation level changes of 48 phosphopeptides representing 45 phosphoproteins indicated that heat induced calcium-mediated signaling, ROS homeostasis, endomembrane trafficking, and cross-membrane transport pathways, as well as > 15 transcription regulation factors. Although photosynthesis was inhibited, diverse primary and secondary metabolisms were employed for enhancing thermotolerance, such as glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, amino acid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, vitamin metabolism, and isoprenoid biosynthesis. These data constitutes a heat stress-responsive metabolic atlas in spinach, which will springboard further investigation into the sophisticated molecular mechanism of plant heat adaptation and inform spinach molecular breeding initiatives.

Project description:Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is an economically important and globally consumed popular leafy vegetable that is heat-sensitive. Heat stress caused by global climate change is one of the primary deleterious elements limiting spinach production worldwide. Little work has been done to explore the heat-responsive mechanisms of spinach under high temperature-induced stress. In the present study, we used iTRAQ-based proteomic and transcriptomic approaches to investigate physiological, metabolic, and proteomic responses of spinach in response to day / night temperature of 35°C / 25°C compared to 20°C / 15°C for 4 days. A total of 3,543 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected using transcriptome sequencing, of which 2,086 DEGs were downregulated and 1,457 were upregulated. The DEGs were mainly involved in superoxide dismutase activity, catalase, and peroxidase activity. A total of 3,246 differentially abundant proteins were detected using iTAQ-based quantitative proteomic approach, from which 567 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) (277 upregulated and 290 downregulated) were identified. DEPs were mainly assigned to pathways related to metabolism, signal transduction, protein degradation, defense, and antioxidant. Four genes - superoxide dismutase (SOD, LOC110788339), catalase (CAT, LOC110790286), peroxidase (POD, LOC110775253), and heat shock protein (HSP, LOC110799288) - were validated using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) to verify the proteomic and transcriptomic analyses, showing different transcriptional and translational expression levels. The findings of this study provide a fundamental understanding of the metabolic pathways and biological processes that control adaptation to heat stress in spinach, and provide novel insight into the development of heat-tolerant spinach.

Project description:New systems for agrochemical delivery in plants will foster precise agricultural practices and provide new tools to study plants and design crop traits, as standard spray methods suffer from elevated loss and limited access to remote plant tissues. Silk-based microneedles can circumvent these limitations by deploying a known amount of payloads directly in plants’ deep tissues. However, plant response to microneedles’ application and microneedles’ efficacy in deploying physiologically relevant biomolecules are unknown. Here, we show that gene expression associated with Arabidopsis thaliana wounding response decreases within 24 hours post microneedles’ application. Additionally, microinjection of gibberellic acid (GA3) in A. thaliana mutant ft-10 provides a more effective and efficient mean than spray to activate GA3 pathways, accelerating bolting, and inhibiting flower formation. Microneedles’ efficacy in delivering GA3 is also observed in several monocot and dicot crop species, i.e., tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), spinach (Spinacia oleracea), rice (Oryza Sativa), maize (Zea mays), barley (Hordeum vulgare), and soybean (Glycine max). The wide range of plants that can be successfully targeted with microinjectors opens the doors to their use in plant science and agriculture.
