Trichoderma-plant root colonization: escaping early plant defense responses and activation of the antioxidant machinery

ABSTRACT: Trichoderma spp. are versatile opportunistic plant symbionts which can colonize the apoplast of plant roots. Microarrays analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana roots inoculated with Trichoderma asperelloides T203, coupled with qPCR analysis of 137 stress-responsive genes and transcription factors, revealed wide gene transcript reprogramming, preceded by a transient repression of the plant immune responses supposedly to allow root colonization. Enhancement in the expression of WRKY18 and 40, which stimulate JA-signaling via suppression of JAZ repressors and negative-regulate the expression of the defense genes FMO1, PAD3 and CYP71A13, was detected in Arabidopsis roots upon Trichoderma colonization. Reduced root colonization was observed in the wrky18/wrky40 double mutant line, while partial phenotypic complementation was achieved by over-expressing WRKY40 in the wrky18 wrky40 background. On the other hand, an increased colonization rate was found in roots of the FMO1 knockout mutant. Two-condition experiment: Roots treated with Trichoderma vs. Control untreated roots. Biological replicates: 2 control replicates, 2 treated replicates. 1 dye-swap.

Comparative secretome analyses of Trichoderma/-Arabidopsis co-cultures identify proteins for salt stress, plant growth promotion and root colonization

Project description:Numerous Trichoderma strains are beneficial for plants, promote their growth and confer stress tolerance. A recently described novel Trichoderma strain strongly promotes growth of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings on media with 50 mM NaCl, while 150 mM NaCl strongly stimulated root colonization and induced salt-stress tolerance in the host without growth promotion. To understand the dynamics of plant-fungus interaction, we examined the secretome from both sides, and revealed a substantial change under different salt regimes, and during co-cultivation. Stress-related proteins, such as fungal Kp4-, WSC- and CFEM-domain-containing proteins, the plant calreticulin and cell-wall modifying enzymes, disappear when the two symbionts are co-cultured under high salt concentrations. More proteins involved in plant and fungal cell wall modifications and the battle of root colonization are found in the co-cultures under salt stress, while the number of plant antioxidant proteins decreased. We identified symbiosis- and salt concentration-specific proteins for both partners. The Arabidopsis PYK10 and a fungal prenylcysteine lyase are only found in the co-culture which promoted plant growth. The comparative analysis of the secretomes suggests that both partners profit from the interaction under salt stress but have to invest more in balancing the symbiosis. We discuss the role of the identified stage- and symbiosis-specific fungal and plant proteins for salt-stress and conditions promoting root colonization and plant growth.

Host-specific transcriptomic pattern of Trichoderma virens during interaction with maize or tomato roots

Project description:To test the hypothesis that gene expression by the fungal partner in this beneficial interaction is modulated by the plant host, Trichoderma virens was co-cultured with maize or tomato in a hydroponic system allowing interaction with the roots. The transcriptomes for T. virens alone were compared with fungus-inoculated tomato or maize roots by hybridization on oligonucleotide microarrays Based on the relevant role of Trichoderma virens as a biological control agent this study provides a better knowledge of its crosstalk with plants in a host-specific manner. Trichoderma virens was co-cultured for three days with maize or tomato in a hydroponic system allowing interaction with the roots. 3 experiments were performed for each treatment, and compared to 5 experiments with T. virens grown under the same conditions without plants.

Transcriptome analysis of rice roots in response to plant growth promoting bacterium Bacillus subtilis RR4

Project description:The aim of our study is to elucidate the gene expression changes in rice in response to colonization by a plant growth promoting rhizobacteria such as the Bacillus subtilis through microarray high throughput technology. In particular, the effect of B.subtilis on root exudation (secretion of phytochemicals through roots) will be analysed. For this rice plantlets were grown in hydroponics and treated with B.subtilis RR4 for 48 hrs. The root samples of the control and treated plants were then used for the microarray experiment. The data obtained through microarray revealed genes related to cell wall modification, phytohormone synthesis, defense response, root exudation, etc. to be differentially regulated in response to B.subtilis RR4. Real time PCR analysis of few chosen genes (OsMS, OsALMT, OsABC, OsSDH, etc) also confirmed the validity of the microarray data. The initial responses of a plant in response to colonization by the microbe will be changes in cell wall of the plant tissues and the secretion of phytochemicals to attract/repel the colonizing beneficial/pathogenic organism. From analysis of microarray data we found the cell wall related genes which aid in root colonization and the root exudate related genes (biosynthesis and transport) which play a role in providing nutrition for the bacterial growth to be differentially regulated significantly. Analysis of specific genes and their biosynthesis pathways indicated that rice plants responded positively to root colonization by B.subtilis RR4. Notable among the exudation related genes such as Malate synthase and ALMT were found to be upregulated which indicates the significant role played by organic acids particularly malate in recruiting the PGPR towards the plant roots. This recruitment will thereby facilitate plant growth. Subsequently, these genes can be engineered in crop plants to recruit beneficial bacteria which might further open new avenues for improved crop production.

Conserved secreted effectors contribute to endophytic growth and multihost plant compatibility in a vascular wilt fungus

Project description:Fungal interactions with plant roots, either beneficial or detrimental, have a major impact on agriculture and ecosystems1. The soil inhabiting ascomycete Fusarium oxysporum (Fo) constitutes a species complex of worldwide distribution causing vascular wilt in more than a hundred different crops2,3. Individual isolates of the fungus exhibit host-specific pathogenicity, determined by proteinaceous effectors termed secreted in xylem (SIX)4,5. However, such isolates can also colonize roots of non-host plants asymptomatically as endophytes, or even protect the plant against pathogenic isolates6,7. The molecular determinants of multi-host plant colonization are currently unknown. Here, we identified a set of fungal effectors termed ERCs (Early Root Compatibility effectors), which are secreted during early biotrophic growth of Fo on both host and non-host plants. In contrast to SIX effectors, which are encoded on lineage specific (LS) genomic regions5,8, ERCs are encoded on core genomic regions and broadly conserved across the Fo species complex. Targeted deletion of ERC genes in pathogenic Fo isolate resulted in reduced virulence on the host plant and rapid activation of plant immune responses, while in a non-pathogenic isolate it led to impaired root colonization and loss of biocontrol ability. Strikingly, some ERCs also contribute to Fo infection on the non-vascular land plant Marchantia polymorpha. Our results reveal an evolutionarily conserved mechanism for multi-host colonization by root infecting fungi.

Detection of Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) in Plant root VOCs

Project description:Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is a well-known plant hormone known for plant defense and plant-plant signaling. However, most of the studies are focussed on its aboveground presence and functions. Here we report that MeJA is also released by plant roots in a volatile form. More importantly, it is shown in Arabidopsis growing in natural conditions in soil.

PSY1 responding transcripts in two plant lines of Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Plant peptide containing sulfated tyrosine 1 (PSY1) has been reported to promote cell expansion and differentiation in the elongation zone of roots. To further understanding of PSY1 based cell elongation, a full genome microarray study was conducted on wild type and receptor (psy1r) mutant plants after PSY1 treatment. This approach led us to elucidate the components involved in PSY1 based cell elongation. Two plant lines (Wild type and psy1r) were grown hydroponically for one week and following treated with 10 nM PSY1 for 4 hr before RNA extraction for micorarray. Three independent biological samples were prepared
