Transcriptomic analysis revealed the mechanisms involved in the differential accumulation of taxoids, flavonoids and hormones among three Taxaceae trees

ABSTRACT: The natural product taxol is an efficient and worldwide accepted anticancer drug. Taxol and other taxoids accumulate in only a few specific genera of the Taxaceae family, such as Taxus and Pseudotaxus. The comprehensive variations among three Taxaceae trees, including one taxol-producing (TP) and two non-taxol producing (NTP) trees, were compared. In total, 3,655 metabolites and 88,609 functional genes were identified through metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses, respectively. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that many differentially expressed genes were enriched in several hormone-, flavonoid-, and terpenoid-related metabolic pathways. The hormones, abscisate and abscisic acid, highly accumulated in the NTP trees, whereas gibberellic acids substantially accumulated in the TP trees.

Analysis of sexually dimorphic accumulation of taxoids identifies a female-specific MYB-bHLH complex involved in the paclitaxel biosynthesis of Taxus media

Project description:Taxol is an efficient anticancer drug accumulated in Taxus trees. Taxus media, a large-scale cultured species, is a dioecious woody tree with high taxol yielding. However, the sexually dimorphic accumulation of taxoids in T. media is largely unknown. Our study identified a large number of differentially accumulated metabolites and differentially expressed genes, revealing the comprehensive differences between the female and male T. media trees. LC-MS analysis confirmed the high accumulation of taxoids in the female trees. Expression analysis showed that most Taxol biosynthesis-related genes were predominantly expressed in the female trees. To investigate the regulation mechanism underlying the sexually dimorphic accumulation of taxoids, a female-specific expressed gene, TmMYB39, was identified and its full-length sequence was cloned. Multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analyses showed that TmMYB39 is a typical R2R3-MYB factor and the subcellular localization of TmMYB39 is shown to be the nucleus. Furthermore, Y2H and BiFC assays showed that TmMYB39 interacts with TmbHLH13. Partial promoter sequences of 10 taxol biosynthesis-related genes were isolated, which were used for screening of the MYB recognition elements. TmMYB39 binds to the promoters of several taxol-related genes, such as GGPPS, T7OH, T10OH, T13OH, and TBT genes. Interaction between TmMYB39 and TmbHLH13 affected the expression of GGPS and T10OH genes, suggesting that TmMYB39 might function in the regulation of taxol biosynthesis through a ‘MYB-bHLH’ module. Our data provided a potential explanation for the sexually dimorphic accumulation of taxoids.

Hormetic response and transcriptome profiling reveal the mechanism underlying metabolic and cuticular resistance to host-specific terpenoid defenses in an emerging insect pest, Pagiophloeus tsushimanus (coleoptera: curculionidae)

Project description:The resistance mechanisms evolved by insects to overcome host-plant allelochemicals is a key consideration in pest management. Camphor oil (EO) and its main component (i.e D-camphor) form a specific terpenoid-defensive system in camphor trees, Cinnamomum camphora. However, an emerging insect pest, Pagiophloeus tsushimanus has recently caused serious damage to this intractable plant species, which is largely elusive. Here, we used feeding bioassays and RNA-seq to investigate the mechanism underlying the resistance of the beetle to host-specific terpenoid defenses. Firstly, a hormetic response in both larval weight and developmental time was observed in terpenoid-feeding individuals, which is a highly generalized dose-response phenomenon in toxicology whereas occurs infrequently in the context of insect-plant interactions. Then, comparative transcriptome analysis between terpenoid-feeding and control groups indicated that both CYP450s-mediated metabolic resistance and CPs-mediated cuticular resistance were jointly employed to cope with terpenoid-induced stress. In addition, a small portion of genes involved in glucose transport pathway were up-regulated at the low D-camphor dose, suggesting an extra intake of glucose used for larval growth may contribute to a hormetic response. These findings probably implied that the dual terpenoid-resistance mechanisms existing in this specialist is an essential precondition for hormetic response in larval growth, ultimately contributing to successfully colonize host camphor trees with impunity. Overall, our study will open new avenues for understanding the insect-plant coevolutionary adaptation and developing durable pest control strategies.

Transcriptome analysis in buds of citrus trees of different Huanglongbing severity levels

Project description:Devastating citrus disease Huanglongbing (HLB) is without existing cures. Herein, we present results demonstrating the possible mechanisms (hypoxia stress) behind HLB-triggered shoot dieback by comparing the transcriptomes, hormone profiles, and key enzyme activities in buds of severely and mildly symptomatic ‘Hamlin’ sweet orange (Citrus sinensis). Within six months (October – May) in field conditions, severe trees had 23% bud dieback, greater than mild trees (11%), with a concomitant reduction in canopy density. In February, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with responses to osmotic stress, low oxygen levels, and cell death were upregulated, with those for photosynthesis and cell cycle downregulated in severe versus mild trees. For severe trees, not only were the key markers for hypoxia, including anaerobic fermentation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and lipid oxidation, transcriptionally upregulated, but also alcohol dehydrogenase activity was significantly greater compared to mild trees, indicating a link between bud dieback and hypoxia. Tricarboxylic acid cycle revival, given the upregulation of glutamate dehydrogenase and alanine aminotransferase DEGs, suggests that ROS may also be generated during hypoxiareoxygenation. Greater (hormonal) ratios of abscisic acid to cytokinins and jasmonates and upregulated DEGs encoding NADPH oxidases in severe versus mild trees indicate additional ROS production under limited oxygen availability due to stomata closure. Altogether, our results provided evidence that as HLB progresses, excessive ROS produced in response to hypoxia and during hypoxia-reoxygenation likely intensify the oxidative stress in buds leading to cell death, contributing to marked bud and shoot dieback and decline of the severely symptomatic sweet orange trees.

Phytoplasma-responsive small RNAs in Mexican lime trees

Project description:Background: WitchesM-bM-^@M-^Y broom disease of Mexican lime (Citrus aurantifolia L.), which is caused by the phytoplasma M-bM-^@M-^\Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifoliaM-bM-^@M-^], is a devastating disease that results in significant economic losses. Plants adapt to abiotic stresses by regulating gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a recently identified family of molecules that regulate plant responses to environmental stresses through post-transcriptional gene silencing. Methods: Using a high-throughput approach to sequence small RNAs, we compared the expression profiles of miRNAs in healthy Mexican lime trees and in plants infected with M-bM-^@M-^\Ca. Phytoplasma aurantifoliaM-bM-^@M-^]. Results: Our results demonstrated the involvement of different miRNAs in the response of Mexican lime trees to infection by M-bM-^@M-^\Ca. Phytoplasma aurantifoliaM-bM-^@M-^]. We identified miRNA families that are expressed differentially upon infection with phytoplasmas. Most of the miRNAs had variants with small sequence variations (isomiRs), which are expressed differentially in response to pathogen infection. Conclusions: It is likely that the miRNAs that are expressed differentially in healthy and phytoplasma-infected Mexican lime trees are involved in coordinating the regulation of hormonal, nutritional, and stress signalling pathways, and the complex interactions between them. Future research to elucidate the roles of these miRNAs should improve our understanding of the level of diversity of specific plant responses to phytoplasmas. Small mRNA profiles of healthy (H) and Phytoplasma-infected Mexican lime trees were generated by deep sequencing, six replicate, using Illumina Hiseq2000

Transcriptional response of Scots pine trees to Heterobasidion annosum infection: analyses of antimicrobial protein Sp-AMP2

Project description:Understanding of mechanisms of resistance of forest trees against microbial pathogens is an essential prerequisite for the development of sustainable forestry practices and for the improvement of commercially-grown trees via either conventional breeding or rational genetic engineering. We have studied the transcriptional response of Scots pine trees to Heterobasidion annosum infection under field conditions. By comparing responses of trees to wounding and to fungal inoculation we could identify a set of genes that were specifically responding to fungal infection. We have also investigated a contribution of Scots pine antimicrobial protein Sp-AMP2 to the host antimicrobial defense to evaluate the potential of Sp-AMP genes as molecular markers for resistance breeding.

Abiotic stress response and adaptive phenology in fruit trees

Project description:Due to the broad climate adaptation of perennial trees, phenological traits (e.g. chilling requirement-CR, bloom date-BD) exhibit complex inheritance patterns. Conceptually, these are adaptive responses to abiotic stress. As production depends on traits like CR, breeders have developed varieties that are phenotypically/genotypically matched to particular geographic/temperature zones. These genotypes are ideal for study of gene networks governing these climate-critical traits. Using genetic approaches, genome-wide association analyses, functional and comparative genomics in fruit and forest trees, we identified a foundational network of genetic activity (phenylpropanoid pathway) linking winter cold stress response to control of the endodormancy-ecodormancy transition (EET) and seed stratification. Our goal is to examine during endodormancy the allelic effects of genes controlling the production of stress related metabolic intermediates that regulate seed stratification, thus linking these two cold temperature responses. Our objective is to use a transcriptome sequencing approach to characterize genotypic effects on the phenylpropanoid gene network transcriptome during endodormancy and the EET. These adaptive genes and gene networks will be targets for knowledge based breeding strategies of fruit and forest trees to sustain and improve these resources to meet the challenges of rapid environmental change

RNA-seq based in vivo transcriptomes of pine trees inoculated with pinewood nematode under the enhanced resistance state

Project description:Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (pinewood nematode, PWN) is a causal agent of pine wilt disease and results in economic and environmental losses in pine forests. The establishment of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) provides positive capacities to control PWN. We selected two SAR elicitors, acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) and methyl salicylic acid (MeSA), which effectively inhibited disease symptoms on PWN-infected pine trees. To understand dynamic interactions between pine host and PWN under SAR state, we characterized in vivo transcriptomes of pine trees infected by B. xylophilus according to the ASM and MeSA treatment. After distilled water treatment, pine trees infected by B. xylophilus was used as a negative control.
