Project description:Soil microbiota and herbivory influence the structure of plant-associated microbial communities in tomato plants - 16S

Project description:Tomato plants are submitted to a high diversity of herbivory pests, among them the leafminer Tuta absoluta, considered as one of the most important threat on the tomato worldwide production. In spite of its susceptibility to this pest, a better understanding of the tomato plant response to T. absoluta herbivory will help defining plant resistance traits and enlarging the range of possibilities for an efficient integrated pest management strategy. We analyzed the transcriptomic response in leaves of tomato (cv. Better Bush) submitted to the herbivory of T. absoluta larvae after 5h and 24h.

Project description:Understanding the environmental factors that shape microbial communities is crucial, especially in extreme environments, like Antarctica. Two main forces were reported to influence Antarctic soil microbes: birds and plants. Both birds and plants are currently undergoing unprecedented changes in their distribution and abundance due to global warming. However, we need to clearly understand the relationship between plants, birds and soil microorganisms. We therefore collected rhizosphere and bulk soils from six different sampling sites subjected to different levels of bird influence and colonized by Colobanthus quitensis and Deschampsia antarctica in the Admiralty Bay, King George Island, Maritime Antarctic. Microarray and qPCR assays targeting 16S rRNA genes of specific taxa were used to assess microbial community structure, composition and abundance and analyzed with a range of soil physico-chemical parameters. The results indicated significant rhizosphere effects in four out of the six sites, including areas with different levels of bird influence. Acidobacteria were significantly more abundant in soils with little bird influence (low nitrogen) and in bulk soil. In contrast, Actinobacteria were significantly more abundant in the rhizosphere of both plant species. At two of the sampling sites under strong bird influence (penguin colonies), Firmicutes were significantly more abundant in D. antarctica rhizosphere but not in C. quitensis rhizosphere. The Firmicutes were also positively and significantly correlated to the nitrogen concentrations in the soil. We conclude that the microbial communities in Antarctic soils are driven both by bird and plants, and that the effect is taxa-specific.

Project description:<div>Species-rich plant communities can induce unique soil biotic legacy effects through changing the abundance and composition of soil biota. These soil legacy effects can cause feedbacks to influence plant performance. In addition, soil biota can induce (defensive) secondary metabolites in shoots and roots and thus affect plant-herbivore interactions. We hypothesize that plant diversity-driven soil biotic legacy effects elicit changes in the shoot and root metabolome. <br></div><div><br></div><div>We tested this hypothesis by establishing an experiment with four plant species. We grew plants in a sterile substrate inoculated with soil conditioned by different plant species communities: (1) monocultures of either of the four species, (2) the four species in a mixture, (3) an eight species mixture including all four species, or (4) a sterile inoculum. After at least eight weeks in the field, we estimated shoot herbivory. At the same time, we took root and shoot samples for metabolomics analyses by liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. <br></div><div><br></div><div>We found that shoot and root metabolomes of all plants grown in sterile soil differed significantly from those grown in living soil. The plant metabolomes in living soils differed by species and tissue. Across all species, shoots displayed a greater richness of secondary metabolites than roots. The richness of secondary metabolites differed by species and among living soils. The conditioning species richness significantly affected the Shannon diversity of secondary metabolites in Centaurea jacea. Shoot herbivory positively correlated with the richness and Shannon diversity of secondary metabolites in Leucanthemum vulgare. We detected multiple metabolites that together explained up to 88% of the variation in herbivory in the shoots of Centaurea jacea and Plantago lanceolata. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Synthesis: Our findings suggest that plant diversity-driven shifts in soil biota elicit changes in the composition and diversity of shoot and root secondary metabolites. However, these plant responses and their effect on shoot herbivores are species-specific. Tracking changes in plant secondary chemistry in response to soil biotic legacy effects will help to understand the mechanisms that govern species-specific plant-plant and plant-herbivore interactions.</div>

Project description:In plants, an increase in resource allocation to growth (primary metabolism) associated with the presence of neighbors is likely to reduce defense-related production (secondary metabolism), making plants more vulnerable to herbivory. Even though there is increasing evidence supporting this “trade-off hypothesis”, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Far red (FR) radiation reflected from plant tissues serves as an early warning signal of future competition, triggering a suite of plastic morphological adjustments that improve plant’s ability to compete for light in crowded populations. Recent evidence from our lab showed that, when competition signals are present, plant defenses are severely reduced. Besides direct effects of herbivory and competition signals on target plants, second order effects occurs on neighboring plants through plant volatiles (PVs) communication. PVs play a key role in plant-plant and plant-insect interactions, changing its content and composition in response to environmental conditions. To increase our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying those interacting signaling webs, we performed a field study with tomato plants (cv Moneymaker), in which plants of EMITTER plots (six plants plot-1) were subjected to herbivory (nine larvae of Spodoptera eridania plant-1) and competition signals (increased FR radiation) in a factorial design. Light treatment started 28 days after sowing (DAS), and herbivory treatment and volatiles conduction started 34 DAS. Volatiles were conducted from EMITTER to RECEIVER plots (five plants plot-1) using a 5 inch, 1.4 m long tube fitted with a computer-type fan. 40 and 45 DAS, larval performance was measured on EMITTER plots as well as naturally-occurring insect colonization on RECEIVER plots. Finally (46 DAS), samples for bulk phenolic content were taken on every plot, and plant material from 4th and 5th leaves was collected for microarray analysis. There were three real biological replicates. Keywords: Reference design

Project description:Purpose: To understand the molecular mechanisms involved in disease development during plant-nematode interactions. Methods: We have taken a comprehensive transcriptomic approach to investigate the expression of both tomato and RKN genes in tomato roots at five infection time points from susceptible plants (PR: Pusa Ruby) and two infection time points from resistant plants (M36: Transgenic MM line), grown under soil conditions. Results: Differentially expressed genes during susceptible (1827 tomato, 462 RKN) and resistance (25 tomato, 160 RKN) interactions were identified and a set of genes were validated by qRT-PCR. Conclusion: Our findings, for the first time, provide insights into the transcriptome dynamics of both tomato and RKN during susceptible and resistance interactions and reveal involvement of a complex network of biosynthetic pathways during disease development.

Project description:Advances in DNA sequencing technologies has drastically changed our perception of the structure and complexity of the plant microbiome. By comparison, our ability to accurately identify the metabolically active fraction of soil microbiota and its specific functional role in augmenting plant health is relatively limited. Here, we combined our recently developed protein extraction method and an iterative bioinformatics pipeline to enable the capture and identification of extracellular proteins (metaexoproteomics) synthesised in the rhizosphere of Brassica spp. We first validated our method in the laboratory by successfully identifying proteins related to a host plant (Brassica rapa) and its bacterial inoculant, Pseudomonas putida BIRD-1. This identified numerous rhizosphere specific proteins linked to the acquisition of plant-derived nutrients in P. putida. Next, we analysed natural field-soil microbial communities associated with Brassica napus L. (oilseed rape). By combining metagenomics with metaexoproteomics, 1882 proteins were identified across bulk and rhizosphere samples. Meta-exoproteomics identified a clear shift (p<0.001) in the metabolically active fraction of the soil microbiota responding to the presence of B. napus roots that was not apparent in the composition of the total microbial community (metagenome). This metabolic shift was associated with the stimulation of rhizosphere-specialised bacteria, such as Gammaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria and Flavobacteriia and the upregulation of plant beneficial functions related to phosphorus and nitrogen mineralisation. Together, our metaproteomic assessment of the ‘active’ plant microbiome at the field-scale demonstrates the importance of moving past a genomic assessment of the plant microbiome in order to determine ecologically important plant-microbe interactions underpinning plant health.

Project description:The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, is one of the most significant mite pests in agriculture that can feed on more than 1,100 plant hosts, including model plants Arabidopsis thaliana and tomato, Solanum lycopersicum. In order to refine the involvement of jasmonic acid (JA) in mite-induced responses, we analyzed transcriptional changes in tomato JA signaling mutant defenseless1 (def-1) upon JA treatment and spider mite herbivory. We used microarray to assess global gene expression in Solanum lycopersicum def-1 cv. Castlemart upon jasmonic acid treatment and Tetranychus urticae attack.
