Comparative transcriptome analysis of two Kalanchoë species during plantlet formation

ABSTRACT: Some species in the Kalanchoë genus form plantlets on their leaf margins as an asexual reproduction strategy. The limited molecular studies on plantlet formation showed an organogenesis ortholog, SHOOTMERISTEMLESS (STM) and embryogenesis genes such as LEAFY COTYLEDON1 (LEC1) and FUSCA3 are recruited during plantlet formation. To understand the mechanisms of two Kalanchoë plantlet-forming species with a slightly different mode of plantlet formation, RNA-sequencing analysis was performed in K. daigremontiana and K. pinnata respectively.

Project description:Wheat leaf rust caused by the pathogenic fungus Puccinia triticina, is a serious threat to bread wheat and durum production in many areas of the world. This plant-pathogen interaction has been studied extensively at the molecular genetics level, however proteomics data are still relatively scarce. The present study investigated temporal changes in the abundance of the apoplastic fluid proteome of wheat leaves infected with either virulent or avirulent races of P. triticina, using a label-free LC-MS-based approach. In general, there was very little difference between inoculated and control apoplastic proteomes as a result of either race of pathogen, until haustoria had become well established in the incompatible interaction, although the resistant host responds to pathogen challenge sooner than the susceptible. In the earlier samplings (up to 72 h after inoculation), there were 46 host proteins with significantly changing abundance, however pathogen proteins were detected only rarely and not reproducibly. This is consistent with the hemi-biotrophic life-style of P. triticina; the pathogen infection is characterized by an early phase of a symbiosis-like relationship, followed by a later stage of pathogenesis, with tissue damage and parasitism. The majority of the host proteins with altered abundance up to 72 h post-inoculation were pathogen-response-related, including peroxidases, chitinases, β-1-3-endo-glucanases and PR-proteins. Five days after inoculation with the incompatible race it was possible to detect 150 PT proteins and 117 host proteins which had significantly increased in abundance as well as 33 host proteins which had significantly decreased in abundance and which represent potential targets of pathogen effectors. The pathogen-expressed proteins – seen most abundantly in the incompatible interaction – were mostly uncharacterized proteins, however many of their functions could be inferred through homology-matching with pBLAST. Pathogen proteins also included several candidate effector proteins, some novel and some which have been reported previously from the purified haustoria proteome.
