Metabolomics reveals key resistant responses in tomato fruit induced by Cryptococcus laurentii.

ABSTRACT: To investigate the mechanisms underlying inducible resistance in postharvest tomato fruit, non-targeted metabolome analysis was performed to uncover metabolic changes in tomato fruit upon Cryptococcus laurentii treatment. 289 and 149 metabolites were identified in positive and negative ion modes, respectively. A total of 59 metabolites, mainly including phenylpropanoids, flavonoids and phenolic acids, were differently abundant in C. laurentii-treated tomato fruit. Moreover, key metabolites involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, especially chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid and ferulic acid were identified through KEGG enrichment analysis. Enhanced levels of phenolic acids indicated activation of the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, which is a classic metabolic pathway associated with inducible resistance, suggesting that its activation and consequent metabolic changes contributed to inducible resistence induced by C. laurentii. Our findings would provide new understanding of resistance induction mechanism in tomato fruit from the metabolic perspective, and offer novel insights for new approaches reducing postharvest loss on tomato.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough Cryptococcus laurentii has been considered saprophytic and its taxonomy is still being described, several cases of human infections have already reported. This study aimed to evaluate molecular aspects of C. laurentii isolates from Brazil, Botswana, Canada, and the United States.MethodsIn this study, 100 phenotypically identified C. laurentii isolates were evaluated by sequencing the 18S nuclear ribosomal small subunit rRNA gene (18S-SSU), D1/D2 region of 28S nuclear ribosomal large subunit rRNA gene (28S-LSU), and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the ribosomal region.ResultsBLAST searches using 550-bp, 650-bp, and 550-bp sequenced amplicons obtained from the 18S-SSU, 28S-LSU, and the ITS region led to the identification of 75 C. laurentii strains that shared 99-100% identity with C. laurentii CBS 139. A total of nine isolates shared 99% identity with both Bullera sp. VY-68 and C. laurentii RY1. One isolate shared 99% identity with Cryptococcus rajasthanensis CBS 10406, and eight isolates shared 100% identity with Cryptococcus sp. APSS 862 according to the 28S-LSU and ITS regions and designated as Cryptococcus aspenensis sp. nov. (CBS 13867). While 16 isolates shared 99% identity with Cryptococcus flavescens CBS 942 according to the 18S-SSU sequence, only six were confirmed using the 28S-LSU and ITS region sequences. The remaining 10 shared 99% identity with Cryptococcus terrestris CBS 10810, which was recently described in Brazil. Through concatenated sequence analyses, seven sequence types in C. laurentii, three in C. flavescens, one in C. terrestris, and one in the C. aspenensis sp. nov. were identified.ConclusionsSequencing permitted the characterization of 75% of the environmental C. laurentii isolates from different geographical areas and the identification of seven haplotypes of this species. Among sequenced regions, the increased variability of the ITS region in comparison to the 18S-SSU and 28S-LSU regions reinforces its applicability as a DNA barcode.
