Project description:Long-lasting priming by β-amino butyric acid is marked by DNA hypomethylation.

Project description:Exposure of plants to stress conditions or to certain chemical elicitors can establish a primed state, whereby responses to future stress encounters are enhanced. Stress priming can be long-lasting and likely involves epigenetic regulation of stress-responsive gene expression. However, the molecular events underlying priming are not well understood. Here, we characterise epigenetic changes in tomato plants primed for pathogen resistance by treatment with β-aminobutyric acid (BABA). We used whole genome bisulphite sequencing to construct tomato methylomes from control plants and plants treated with BABA at the seedling stage, and a parallel transcriptome analysis to identify genes primed for the response to inoculation by the fungal pathogen, Botrytis cinerea. Genomes of plants treated with BABA showed a significant reduction in global cytosine methylation, especially in CHH sequence contexts. Analysis of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) revealed that CHH DMRs were almost exclusively hypomethylated and were enriched in gene promoters and in DNA transposons located in the chromosome arms. Although there was some enrichment of stress response-related gene ontology terms in genes overlapping CHH DMRs, there was no significant enrichment of DMRs amongst a set of 747 primed defence genes, and nor was the pattern of methylation in these genes altered by BABA treatment. Hence, we conclude that whilst BABA treatment of tomato seedlings results in characteristic changes in genome-wide DNA methylation, CHH hypomethylation does not appear to directly target genes showing primed responses to pathogen infection. Instead, methylation may confer priming via in-trans regulation, acting at a distance from defence genes, and/or by targeting a smaller group of regulatory genes controlling stress responses.

Project description:Clostridium acetobutylicum is a Gram positive, endospore forming firmicute that has been known as the model organims for ABE (acetone-butanol-ethanol) fermentation. With its ability to consume a wide variety of substrates, C. acetobutylicum carries out a biphasic ABE fermentation, which consists of the acidogenic growth phase with the formation of butyric acid and acetic acid, followed by the solventogenic stationary phase with the formation of acetone, butanol and ethanol, characterised by the reassimilation of acids. The production butanol is of renewed ineterest both as a potential biofuel and bulk chemical production. Both butanol and butyric acid posses toxic characteristic and here, we focus on understanding and modeling the stress response of C. acetobutylicum to one of the two important toxic metabolites: butyric acid.

Both butanol and butyric acid posses toxic characteristic and here, we focus on understanding and modeling the stress response of C. acetobutylicum to one of the two important toxic metabolites: butyric acid. C. acetobutylicum cultures were grown, three biological replicates, to mid-exponential phase and then stressed with four levels of butyric acid (0 mM - No stress; 30 mM - Low stress; 40 mM - Medium stress; & 50 mM - High stress). Butyric acid was pH adjusted with 10M KOH to match the pH of the cultures, prior to addition. Samples were collected following the stress at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 min, post stress. These sampling times, which are of the order of the doubling time of these cells, were meant to capture largely the direct and immediate impact of these stresses on gene expression. The RNA extracted from two biological replicates were used for microarray hybridization foloowing cDNA generation and labelling using Agilent 44K arrays, while the third was used for q-RT-PCR validation. For each stress level, 6 time points with 2 biological replicates and dye swaps (Cy3/Cy5) were prepared for comparison. The hybridization was perfomed against an equal amount of oppositely labeled cDNA from common reference pool prepared using equal amounts of labeled cDNA from all four stress levels.

Project description:Tomato is a major global crop however its production is limited by Botrytis cinerea. Due to the toxicity of post-harvest pesticide application, alternative control methods such as priming are being investigated. Plants were treated with β-aminobutyric (BABA) at two developmental stages and resistance against B. cinerea was tested in fruit tissue and in progenies. DNA methylation and RNA sequencing were conducted to characterise the (epi)genetic changes associated with long-lasting resistance. Grafting experiments were done to assess the systemic nature of this signal, which was further characterised by small RNA (sRNA) sequencing of scions. Only BABA-treated seedlings displayed induced resistance (IR). DNA methylation analysis revealed seedling-specific changes, which occurred in the context of lower basal methylation. BABA-IR was found to be transmissible from primed rootstock to grafted unprimed scions. In these scions, we identified a subset of mobile 24 nt sRNAs associated with primed genes to infection in fruit. Our results demonstrate the functional association of a systemic signal with long lasting IR and priming. Through integrated omics approaches we have identified markers of long-lasting priming in tomato fruit which could also serve as targets for durable resistance in other crops.

Project description:Beta-amino butyric acid (BABA) is an endogenous stress signalling molecule in plants. External application (e.g. by soil-drenching) of BABA induces high levels of resistance in Arabidopsis (and other plants) against the oomycete pathogen Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis. However, high doses of BABA also trigger a metabolic stress response and stunt plant growth. Perception of BABA is mediated by the protein IBI1. The ibi1-1 mutant is deficient in BABA-induced resistance, but hypersensitive to BABA-induced stress. To identify pathways that contribute to BABA-induced resistance and stress, respectively, we compared the transcriptome of Arabidopsis wild-type and ibi1-1 mutant plants after pre-treatment with water or BABA, followed by inoculation with Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (or mock).

In addition, there was significant enrichment of DMRs in the promoters of genes that are differentially expressed in response to infection with B. cinerea. However, the majority of genes that demonstrated priming did not contain DMRs, and nor was the overall distribution of methylated cytosines in primed genes altered by BABA treatment. Hence, we conclude that whilst BABA treatment of tomato seedlings results in characteristic changes in genome-wide DNA methylation, CHH hypomethylation appears only to target a minority of genes showing primed responses to pathogen infection. Instead, methylation may confer priming via in-trans regulation, acting at a distance from defence genes, and/or by targeting a smaller group of regulatory genes controlling stress responses.
