Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in the bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum, strain GMI1000 at 20°C and 28°C in culture and in planta. The tropical strain GMI1000 cannot wilt tomato plants at 20°C although it can cause full-blown disease at 28°C.

Project description:Construction of rhizosphere synthetic flora against tomato bacterial wilt
Project description:Biofilm lifestyle is critical for bacterial pathogens to colonize and protect themselves from host immunity and antimicrobial chemicals in plants and animals. The formation and regulation mechanism of phytobacterial biofilm are still obscure. Here, we found that Ralstonia solanacearum Resistance to ultraviolet C (RuvC) is highly abundant in biofilm and positively regulates pathogenicity by governing systemic movement in tomato xylem. RuvC protein accumulates at the later stage of biofilm and specifically targets the Holliday junction (HJ) like structures to disrupt biofilm extracellular DNA (eDNA) lattice, thus facilitating biofilm dispersal. Recombinant RuvC protein can resolve extracellular HJ prevent bacterial biofilm formation. Heterologous expression of R. solanacearum or Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae RuvC with plant secretion signal in tomato or rice confers resistance to bacterial wilt or bacterial blight disease, respectively. Plant chloroplast localized HJ resolvase monokaryotic chloroplast 1 (MOC1) which is structural similar to bacterial RuvC shows a strong inhibit effect on bacterial biofilm formation. Re-localization of SlMOC1 to apoplast in tomato roots leads to increase resistance to bacterial wilt. Our novel finding reveals a critical pathogenesis mechanism of R. solanacearum and provides an efficient biotechnology strategy to improve plant resistance to bacteria vascular disease.
Project description:Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a lethal, soil-borne disease of tomato. Control of the disease with chemicals and crop rotation is insufficient, because the pathogen is particularly well adapted for surviving in the soil and rhizosphere. Therefore, cultivar resistance is the most effective means for controlling bacterial wilt, but the molecular mechanisms of resistance responses remain unclear. We used microarrays to obtain the characteristics of the gene expression changes that are induced by R. solanacearum infection in resistant cultivar LS-89 and susceptible cultivar Ponderosa.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in the bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum, strain GMI1000 at 20°C and 28°C in culture and in planta. The tropical strain GMI1000 cannot wilt tomato plants at 20°C although it can cause full-blown disease at 28°C. A 16 array study using total RNA recovered from the following: 8 separate cultures of Ralstonia solanacearum strain GMI1000 grown in rich medium-CPG (4 grown at 20°C and 4 grown at 28°C) 8 separate in planta samples of Ralstonia solanacearum strain GMI1000 harvested from diseased tomato plants cv. BonnyBest (4 recovered from plants grown at 20°C and 4 from plants grown at 28°C) Each array (4-plex format) measures the expression level of 5061 genes from Ralstonia solanacearum strain GMI1000 with 2 to 6, 40-70 mer probes per gene, with two-fold technical redundancy. The arrays also contain probes for intergenic regions with no technical replicates.
