Plants perceive volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by mechanically- or herbivore-damaged neighboring plants and induce various defense responses. Such interplant communication protects plants from environmental threats. However, the spatiotemporal dynamics of VOC sensory transduction in plants remain largely unknown. Using a wide-field real-time imaging method, we visualize an increase in cytosolic Ca<sup>2+</sup> concentration ([Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>cyt</sub>) in Arabidopsis leaves foll ...[more]

Project description:Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) consist of six-carbon volatile aldehydes, alcohols, and their esters. They are formed from polyunsaturated fatty acids and are involved in the defense of plants against herbivores and pathogens. GLVs generally have low concentrations in intact healthy plant tissues, but the biosynthetic pathway to form GLVs is quickly activated by mechanical damage to tissues, an event called the GLV-burst. Most seed plants have the ability to implement GLV-burst; however, this potential in non-seed plants has not been extensively researched. In this study, we examined the GLV-burst capacity of monilophytes, lycophytes, and bryophytes, and confirmed that monilophytes and lycophytes showed substantial GLV-burst ability, while bryophytes did not, with a few exceptions. When the genome sequence of a model lycophyte, Selaginella moellendorffii was reviewed, 10 genes were found that showed high similarity with the non-canonical cytochrome P450 enzymes, CYP74s, specialized in oxylipin formation. Recombinant proteins expressed with Escherichia coli showed that one of them had the ability to encode allene oxide synthase, and another encoded hydroperoxide lyase (HPL), preferring linolenic acid 13-hydroperoxide, and it was inferred that this gene was responsible for GLV-burst in S. moellendorffii. Based on the phylogenetic tree constructed with CYP74s of non-seed and seed plants, we hypothesized that HPL was acquired independently in the lycophyte and seed plants through diversification of CYP74 genes.

Project description:• Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), in addition to attracting natural enemies of herbivores, can serve a signaling function within plants by acting as wound signals that induce or prime defenses. However, particularly in woody plants, which compounds within HIPV blends are capable of acting as signaling molecules are largely unknown. • Leaves of hybrid poplar (Populus deltoides x nigra) saplings were exposed in vivo to naturally wound-emitted concentrations of the green leaf volatile (GLV) cis-3-hexenyl acetate (z3HAC) and then subsequently fed upon by gypsy moth larvae (Lymantria dispar L.). Volatiles were collected throughout the experiments, and leaf tissue was collected to measure phytohormone levels and expression of defense-related genes. • Relative to controls, z3HAC-exposed leaves had higher levels of jasmonic acid and linolenic acid following gypsy moth feeding. Further, z3HAC primed transcripts of phytohormone signaling (lipoxygenase 1) and direct defense (a Kunitz proteinase inhibitor) genes. These qRT-PCR results were supported by microarray analysis using the AspenDB 7K EST microarray containing ~5400 unique gene models. Moreover, z3HAC also primed the release of herbivore-induced terpene volatiles. • The widespread priming response suggests an adaptive benefit to detecting z3HAC as a wound signal. Thus, woody plants can detect and use z3HAC as a signaling cue to prime defenses before actually experiencing damage. GLVs may therefore have important ecological functions in arboreal ecosystems.

Project description:A central question is how specificity in cellular responses to the eukaryotic second messenger Ca(2+) is achieved. Plant guard cells, that form stomatal pores for gas exchange, provide a powerful system for in depth investigation of Ca(2+)-signaling specificity in plants. In intact guard cells, abscisic acid (ABA) enhances (primes) the Ca(2+)-sensitivity of downstream signaling events that result in activation of S-type anion channels during stomatal closure, providing a specificity mechanism in Ca(2+)-signaling. However, the underlying genetic and biochemical mechanisms remain unknown. Here we show impairment of ABA signal transduction in stomata of calcium-dependent protein kinase quadruple mutant plants. Interestingly, protein phosphatase 2Cs prevent non-specific Ca(2+)-signaling. Moreover, we demonstrate an unexpected interdependence of the Ca(2+)-dependent and Ca(2+)-independent ABA-signaling branches and the in planta requirement of simultaneous phosphorylation at two key phosphorylation sites in SLAC1. We identify novel mechanisms ensuring specificity and robustness within stomatal Ca(2+)-signaling on a cellular, genetic, and biochemical level.

Plants and Gypsy Moths Hybrid poplar (Populus deltoides x nigra, clone âOGYâ: Magnoliopsida; Malpighiales; Salicaceae; Aigeiros section of Populus) saplings were grown from cuttings in a walk-in growth chamber maintained at 25oC with a 16:8 photoperiod. Cuttings were planted in five-gallon pots in commercial potting soil (MetroMix 250, SunGro, Bellevue, WA, USA) and watered as necessary. Due to supplements in the soil, fertilization was not required and poplars grew to heights of ~1.5 m in 12-15 weeks. Newly molted 4th instar L. dispar larvae were used for all experiments. Egg masses were obtained from APHIS (Otis Plant Protection Lab, Cape Cod, MA, USA) and reared through 3rd instar on artificial diet. Newly molted 4th instar larvae cleared their gut contents prior to molting. Experimental Manipulations All experiments were conducted from March-April 2007 in a single walk-in growth chamber maintained as described above. Poplars were equilibrated to the chamber for 24 hours prior to manipulations. Two fully-expanded source leaves (leaf plastochron index LPI 8 and 9) were isolated per sapling using individual 15x15x1 cm Teflon/glass chambers (for photo see Appendix in Frost et al., 2007). These two leaves are non-orthostichous, which means that they do not readily share assimilates or wound signals (Davis et al., 1991). Thus, for the purposes of these experiments, treatment leaves did not interact with their respective control leaves. However, the leaves are of slightly different ages and, to control for this potential effect, we randomized which leaf would receive the z3HAC treatment. Flow into each chamber was set at 2.0 L/min, which was sufficient to avoid condensation within the chamber. The experiments were designed to have two consecutive albeit separate treatments: exposure to z3HAC and subsequent application of L. dispar larvae. We used commercially available z3HAC (Sigma-Aldrich), and prepared concentrations to infuse into each septum such that it delivered ~40 ng z3HAC per application. After a pretreatment volatile collection (Day 1 and night starting Day 2), z3HAC-infused rubber septa were placed into the leaf chambers with each treatment leaf (morning of Day 2). Control leaves each received a septum infused with just the dichloromethane solvent. Septa were replaced twice, once before the afternoon collection on Day 2, and before the morning collection on Day 3. All septa were removed during the night of Day 3, since most volatile production stops at night in this hybrid (Fig 5a). On the morning of Day 4, two newly molted 3rd or 4th instar gypsy moth larvae were added to each leaf, regardless of whether the leaf received the treatment or control septa on Days 2 and 3. The herbivores remained on the leaves for ~24 hours. On the day of collection, each leaf was excised at the petiole, photographed, and then placed in a labeled coin envelope and submerged directly into liquid N2. Each photograph also contained a standard of known area, from which leaf area and % damage calculations were determined (Sigma Scan 500, Systat Software Inc.). Larvae consumed similar amounts on the treatment and control leaves (24 hours: z3HAC-treated leaves: 4.7 ± 1.8 cm2; controls: 4.3 ± 1.7 cm2). The snap-frozen leaves were stored at -80oC until grinding. Each leaf was ground in an individual mortar and pestle under liquid N2. Ground tissue was weighed into vials for RNA extraction and JA analysis (see below). Care was taken to not allow the ground tissue to thaw at any point prior to extraction. This method therefore allowed us to measure gene expression and JA from the same tissue. Microarray Analysis To explore a transcriptome-level response of poplar leaves to z3HAC and herbivory, we conducted microarray analysis of the samples collected after 24 hours of herbivore damage. This allowed a comparison of transcriptome-level responses to herbivory in z3HAC-treated versus untreated leaves (i.e., the set of genes that were primed by z3HAC exposure). Total RNA was labeled using Ambion's Amino Allyl Message Amp II aRNA Amplification Kit (#AM1753) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, 1 ug of each sample was reversed transcribed using T7-oligo(dT) priming and subsequently second strand cDNA synthesis was performed. The resulting double stranded cDNA was purified and then used as a template for in vitro transcription during which amino allyl-modified UTP was incorporated. The resulting amino allyl-modified cRNA was purified and coupled with Cy3 or Cy5 (GE Amersham, #RPN5661) as appropriate. We used dye swapping to account for potential dye effects. Dye coupled cRNA was purified and 4 ug was fragmented and subsequently dissolved in 60ul of hybridization solution. We used an aspen 7K EST array containing replicate subarrays of 6,705 elements in a 4Ã4 grid with a spot diameter of ~150 µm and a spacing of 200 µm (Ranjan et al., 2004). The elements represented ~5,400 unique JGI Populus gene models, and included positive and negative controls (Lucidea Universal ScoreCard, Amersham) to monitor target labeling and hybridization efficiency, as well as many genes of known function. Clone information can be downloaded from the aspenDB website (www.aspenDB.mtu.edu). Arrays were hybridized following previously published methods (Xiang et al., 2002; Hughes et al., 2001).

Project description:Our sense of hearing boasts exquisite sensitivity, precise frequency discrimination, and a broad dynamic range. Experiments and modeling imply, however, that the auditory system achieves this performance for only a narrow range of parameter values. Small changes in these values could compromise hair cells' ability to detect stimuli. We propose that, rather than exerting tight control over parameters, the auditory system uses a homeostatic mechanism that increases the robustness of its operation to variation in parameter values. To slowly adjust the response to sinusoidal stimulation, the homeostatic mechanism feeds back a rectified version of the hair bundle's displacement to its adaptation process. When homeostasis is enforced, the range of parameter values for which the sensitivity, tuning sharpness, and dynamic range exceed specified thresholds can increase by more than an order of magnitude. Signatures in the hair cell's behavior provide a means to determine through experiment whether such a mechanism operates in the auditory system. Robustness of function through homeostasis may be ensured in any system through mechanisms similar to those that we describe here.

Project description:Green leaf volatiles (GLVs), which include C6 aldehydes, alcohols, and their esters, are emitted by damaged plants and are, therefore, thought to be involved in stress responses. However, the effects of GLVs on gene expression are not fully understood. Thus, the aim of the present study was to analyze the early transcriptional responses of Arabidopsis to the major GLVs-(Z)-3-hexenal, (Z)-3-hexenol, (E)-2-hexenal, and (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate-using comprehensive microarray gene expression analysis. All of the GLVs induced changes in gene expression, and (Z)-3-hexenal, (Z)-3-hexenol, and (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate commonly triggered the expression of defense-related genes, whereas (E)-2-hexenal mainly induced genes responsible for responding to abiotic stress, such as heat and oxidative stress. These results suggest that GLVs can function as airborne infochemicals that regulate the rapid expression of defense response-related genes and that GLVs might play a physiological role as self-made damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in damaged leaves.

Project description:Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) are short-chain oxylipins that are emitted from plants in response to stress. Previous studies have shown that oral secretions (OS) of the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta, introduced into plant wounds during feeding, catalyze the re-arrangement of GLVs from Z-3- to E-2-isomers. This change in the volatile signal however is bittersweet for the insect as it can be used by their natural enemies, as a prey location cue. Here we show that (3Z):(2E)-hexenal isomerase (Hi-1) in M. sexta's OS catalyzes the conversion of the GLV Z-3-hexenal to E-2-hexenal. Hi-1 mutants that were raised on a GLV-free diet showed developmental disorders, indicating that Hi-1 also metabolizes other substrates important for the insect's development. Phylogenetic analysis placed Hi-1 within the GMCβ-subfamily and showed that Hi-1 homologs from other lepidopterans could catalyze similar reactions. Our results indicate that Hi-1 not only modulates the plant's GLV-bouquet but also functions in insect development.

Project description:BackgroundInsects rely on chemosensory perception, mainly olfaction, for the location of mates, food sources, and oviposition sites. Plant-released volatile compounds guide herbivorous insects to search for and locate their host plants, further helping them to identify suitable positions for oviposition. The fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (S. frugiperda) was found to invade China in 2019 and has since seriously threatened multiple crops, particularly maize and rice. However, the chemical and molecular mechanisms underlying oviposition preference in this pest are not fully understood. Here, the oviposition preference of S. frugiperda on maize and rice plants was investigated.ResultsGC-EAD and GC-MS/MS techniques were used to identify the antennally active volatiles from maize and rice plants. The attraction and oviposition stimulation of identified components to female adults were tested in both laboratory and field settings. The odorant receptors (ORs) on female antennae were expressed in Xenopus oocytes, and their functions evaluated by RNAi. Ten and eleven compounds of maize and rice plants, respectively, were identified to possess electrophysiological activity from headspace volatiles. Among these compounds, (Z)-3-hexenyl-acetate specifically presented in maize volatiles was found to play a critical role in attracting females and stimulating oviposition compared to rice volatiles. Among the cloned ORs on the antennae of both sexes, SfruOR23 with highly female-biased expression mediated the responses of females to (Z)-3-hexenyl-acetate. Knockdown of SfruOR23 using RNAi markedly reduced the electrophysiological response of female antennae and oviposition preference to the compound.Conclusions(Z)-3-Hexenyl-acetate is a key volatile mediating the host and oviposition preference of S. frugiperda on maize. The olfactory receptor of (Z)-3-hexenyl-acetate was identified to be SfruOR23, which is mainly expressed in the antennae of S. frugiperda.

Project description:Pan-fried green tea (PGT) is an easily acceptable tea drink for general consumers. In this study, volatile profiles and characteristic aroma of 22 representative Chinese PGT samples were extracted using stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) and analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) analysis, and odour activity value (OAV) calculations. In total, 88 volatile compounds were identified. Alcohols (45%), esters (19%), and ketones (16%) were the dominant volatiles, and geraniol (484.8 μg/kg) was the most abundant volatile component in PGT, followed by trans-β-ionone and linalool. In addition, the differences of aroma characteristics among PGT and other three types of green tea, namely baked green tea, steamed green tea, and sun-dried green tea, were also observed using partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and heatmap analysis, and it was found that β-myrcene, methyl salicylate, (E)-nerolidol, geraniol, methyl jasmonate were generally present at higher content in PGT. This is the first comprehensive report describing the volatile profiles of Chinese PGT, and the findings from this study can advance our understanding of PGT aroma quality, and provide important theoretical basis for processing and quality control of green tea products.

Project description:Plant-produced volatile compounds play important roles in plant signaling and in the communication of plants with other organisms. Many plants emit green leaf volatiles (GLVs) in response to damage or attack, which serve to warn neighboring plants or attract predatory or parasitic insects to help defend against insect pests. GLVs include aldehydes, esters, and alcohols of 6-carbon compounds that are released rapidly following wounding. One GLV produced by maize (Zea mays) is the volatile (Z)-3-hexenal; this volatile is produced from the cleavage of (9Z,11E,15Z)-octadecatrienoic acid by hydroperoxide lyases (HPLs) of the cytochrome P450 CYP74B family. The specific HPL in maize involved in (Z)-3-hexenal production had not been determined. In this study, we used phylogenetics with known HPLs from other species to identify a candidate HPL from maize (ZmHPL). To test the ability of the putative HPL to produce (Z)-3-hexenal, we constitutively expressed the gene in Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Columbia-0 that contains a natural loss-of-function mutant in AtHPL and examined the transgenic plants for restored (Z)-3-hexenal production. Volatile analysis of leaves from these transgenic plants showed that they did produce (Z)-3-hexenal, confirming that ZmHPL can produce (Z)-3-hexenal in vivo. Furthermore, we used gene expression analysis to show that expression of ZmHPL is induced in maize in response to both wounding and the insect pests Spodoptera frugiperda and Spodoptera exigua. Our study demonstrates that ZmHPL can produce GLVs and highlights its likely role in (Z)-3-hexenal production in response to mechanical damage and herbivory in maize.
