Project description:Sugarcane plantlets from a variety with high inputs of N obtained from BNF (genotype SP70-1143, CTC, Brazil) free of microorganisms were obtained by sterile meristem culture and micropropagation according to the method of Hendre et al. (1983). In vitro-grown SP70-1143 rooted sugarcane plantlets were inoculated as described by James et al. (1994) with 0.1 ml of 106–107 bacterial suspension. Controls were inoculated with medium only. Endophytic diazotrophic bacteria used were Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus (PAL5 strain) or a mixture of Herbaspirillum seropedicae (HRC54 strain) and H. rubrisubalbicans (HCC103 strain). All plants were maintained at 30°C with an irradiance of 60 µmol photons m–2 s–1 for 12 h d–1. One day after the inoculation, plant tissues were examined for bacterial colonization by the Most Probable Number (MPN) estimation, according to the methods of Reis et al. (1994) and plantlets were collected and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. Five plantlets were polled for each treatment. Extraction of total RNA was performed separately on each sample pool.

Project description:Bioprospecting endophytic bacteria in sugarcane cultivars
Project description:A collection of 237,000 expressed sequence tags generated by the Sugarcane EST sequencing project (SUCEST) was analyzed in search of signal transduction components. The SUCAST (Sugarcane Signal Transduction) Catalogue contains over 3500 components, with around 2900 involved in several aspects of cell signaling and transcription. Sequence comparisons and conserved protein domain analysis revealed 477 receptors, 510 protein kinases, 107 protein phosphatases, a large number of small GTPases, G-proteins, members of the calcium and inositol metabolism, and other signal transduction-related proteins. Over 600 transcription factors were also indexed. Moreover, 437 genes with no matches in the public databases and 111 genes of unknown function were catalogued. Several of the SUCEST cDNA libraries were derived from plants submitted to abiotic stresses or infected with endophytic nitrogen fixing bacteria and stress and pathogen response-related genes were also annotated. The abundance of transcripts among six different sugarcane tissues (flowers, roots, leaves, lateral buds, 1st and 4th internodes) was evaluated using microarrays and expression profile clustering. We identified 216 genes that are significantly more abundant in one of the tissues analyzed. A subset of the data was validated by real-time PCR. Additionally, genes with similar expression levels among different tissues were identified. The characterization of these elements and their promoters can aid in the development of tools for the genetic manipulation of this plant species and other economically important grasses.

Project description:Background and aims The endophytic diazotrophic strain CBAmC of Nitrospirillum amazonense has been reported as a plant growth promoter of sugarcane variety RB867515 when grown under field conditions. The present work aimed to assess the influence of apoplast fluid from RB867515 on the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of CBAmC cultured in vitro. Methods RNA-Seq in Ion Proton™ and ESI-LC-MS/MS peptide analysis were used to evaluate the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles, respectively, of CBAmC exposed for 2 h to the sugarcane apoplast fluid. Results The bacterial transcriptomic and proteomic profiles were well correlated. The overall response of CBAmC to the apoplast fluid included overexpression of defense systems against reactive oxygen species (ROS) and osmotic stress, RND efflux pumps for toxic compounds, Sec and Tat secretory systems, and assimilative metabolism of iron. In contrast, active transporters of organic compounds, chemotaxis system and flagellum structure were underexpressed. Conclusions The bacterial metabolic pathways / functions activated in response to the sugarcane apoplast fluid are most likely related to its adaptation to the peculiar characteristics of the fluid. The activation of some of those functions could be determinant for its adaptation to the sugarcane apoplastic niche, and perhaps be involved in the previously observed effect of promoting plant growth.

Project description:Using TMT quantitative proteomics to analyze the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) of the interaction between plant growth-promoting bacteria Enterobacter roggenkampii ED5 and sugarcane. The results found that a total of 27508 proteins from 73823 peptides, matching 301280 spectrograms were identified. Among them, 378 DEPs were found in sugarcane B8 and 177 DEPs were identified in sugarcane GT11.
Project description:H. seropedicae is a diazotrophic and endophytic bacterium that associates with economically important grasses promoting plant growth and increasing productivity. To identify genes related to bacterial ability to colonize and promote plant growth wheat seedlings growing hydroponically in Hoaglandâs medium were inoculated with H. seropedicae the bacteria and incubated for 3 days. mRNA from the bacteria present in the root surface and in the plant medium were purified, depleted from rRNA and used for RNA-seq profiling. RT-qPCR analyses were conducted to confirm regulation of selected genes. Comparison of RNA profile of bacteria attached to the root and planktonic revealed an extensive metabolic adaptation to the epiphytic life style.
