Transcriptomic changes in Medicago truncatula and Lotus japonicus root nodules during drought stress

ABSTRACT: Drought is one of the major environmental factors limiting biomass and seed yield production in agriculture. In this research we focused on plants from Fabaceae family, which have a unique ability for establishment of symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and are relatively susceptible to water limitation. We present the changes in nitrogenase activity and global gene expression occurring in Medicago truncatula and Lotus japonicus root nodules during water deficit. Our results prove a decrease in the efficiency of nitrogen fixation as well as extensive changes in plant and bacterial transcriptomes shortly after watering cessation. We show for the first time that not only symbiotic plant component, but also Sinorhizobium meliloti and Mesorhizobium loti bacteria residing in the root nodules of M. truncatula and L. japonicus, respectively, adjust their gene expression in response to water shortage. Although our results demonstrate that both M. truncatula and L. japonicus root nodules are susceptible to water deprivation, they indicate significant differences in plant and bacterial response to drought between tested species, which may be related to various type of root nodules formed by these species.

Gene expression analysis in developmentally arrested root nodules formed by Sinorhizobium meliloti and Medicago truncatula

Project description:The bacterium, Sinorhizobium meliloti, interacts symbiotically with leguminous plants such as Medicago truncatula to form nitrogen-fixing root nodules. During symbiosis, plant and bacterial cells differentiate in a coordinated manner, resulting in specialized plant cells that contain nitrogen-fixing bacteroids. Medicago nodules are organized in structurally distinct tissue zones, representing different stages of bacterial and plant differentiation. We used laser-capture microdissection (LCM) to analyze bacterial and plant gene expression in four root nodule regions. In parallel, we analyzed gene expression in nodules formed by wild type bacteria on six plant mutants with nitrogen fixation deficiencies (dnf). We found that bacteroid metabolism is drastically remodeled during bacteroid differentiation. Many processes required for bacterial growth are down-regulated in the nitrogen fixation zone. The overall transcriptional changes are similar to those occurring during nutrient limitation by the stringent response. We also observed differential expression of bacterial genes involved in nitrogen fixation, cell envelope homeostasis, cell division, stress response and polyamine biosynthesis at distinct stages of nodule development. In M. truncatula we observed the differential regulation of several host processes that may trigger bacteroid differentiation and control bacterial infection. We analyzed plant and bacterial gene expression simultaneously, which allowed us to correlate processes in both organisms.

Identification of genes involved in the establishment of plant-microorganism interactions

Project description:affy_pathogen_medicago - In compatible interaction between plants and biotrophic microorganisms, neoformation of organs occurs to ensure an efficient relationship between both partners. During the interaction between Medicago truncatula and Sinorhizobium meliloti, bacteria induce the development of root nodule with a permanent meristem, and chronically infect plant cells from zone II before differentiating into atmospheric nitrogen fixing bacteroids. M. truncatula is also plant host for root-knot nematodes, such as Meloidogyne incognita. During this compatible pathogenic interaction, root-knot nematodes induce redifferenciation of root cells from the vascular cylinder into specialized feeding cells called “giant cells”. Hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the surrounding cells lead to the formation of typical root galls. This phenomenon invokes host pathways in common with those necessary for nitrogen-nodule formation, suggesting that nematode and rhizobia exploit a relative common strategy of plant cell infection at the cellular and molecular levels. In order to highlight key genes involved in gall and nodule developments, parallel laser microdissection of giant cells from galls and cells from zone II of nodules, followed by transcriptomic analysis, were performed. The RNA pools were extracted from these cells, amplified and used for transcriptomic studies with M. truncatula Affymetrix DNA chips. Keywords: organ comparison

The single-cell transcriptome program of nodule development cellular lineages in Medicago truncatula

Project description:Medicago truncatula engages in root nodule symbiosis by developing a de novo plant organ (known as nodule) in its roots in response to the infection by rhizobia. These nodules are de novo plant organs that provide an optimal environment for the rhizobia to fix nitrogen in exchange for photosynthates. The establishment of root nodule symbioses (RNS) requires the coordination of two distinct processes: bacterial infection and nodule organogenesis. In this study we used single-cell RNA-seq to investigate the first hours of the establishment of the root nodule symbiosis aiming to identify the transcriptional mechanisms governing this process.

Response of the mature nodules of the Medicago truncatula/sinorhizobium medicae md4 symbiotic association to systemic signaling associated to plant water deficit (PEG treatment)

Project description:The experiment aims to identify the response of the mature nodules and denodulated roots of Medicago truncatula /Sinorhizobium medicae md4 to the systemic signaling of plant water deficit. The root systems of nodulated symbiotic plants were divided into two compartments. The N source of N2 fixing plants was exclusively the air. To apply the water stress, we treated half root system with PEG while the other was kept on control conditions. To characterize the systemic responses of the transcriptome to the PEG treatment , nodules and roots of the non-treated half root system were harvested and total RNA isolated for RNAseq analysis. We performed a time-course (6 hours, 1-, 3- and 5-days treatment) .

Response of the mature nodules and denodulated roots of the Medicago truncatula/sinorhizobium medicae md4 symbiotic association to systemic signaling of plant N deficit

Project description:The experiment aims to identify the response of mature nodules and denodulated roots of Medicago truncatula /Sinorhizobium medicae md4 to the systemic signaling of plant N deficit. The root systems of nodulated symbiotic plants were divided into two compartments. The N source of N2 fixing plants was exclusively the air. To reduce the plant nitrogen (N) supply (N-deficient conditions), we flushed one half root system with Ar/O2 (80/20 v/v) while the other half root system was kept on control conditions (Air). To characterize the systemic responses of the transcriptome to plant N deficit , nodules and roots of the non-treated half root system were harvested and total RNA isolated for RNAseq analysis. We performed a time-course (6 hours, 1-, 3- and 5-days treatment).

Gene expression data from phosphinothricin (PPT) treated Medicago truncatula root nodules

Project description:Nitrogen assimilation in plants is a tightly regulated process that integrates developmental and environmental signals. The legume-rhizobial symbiosis results in the formation of a specialized organ called root nodule, where the rhizobia fixes atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia. Ammonia is assimilated by the plant enzyme glutamine synthetase, which is specifically inhibited by PPT. The expression of key genes related to the regulation of root nodule metabolism will likely be affected by glutamine synthetase inhibition. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in response to Glutamine synthetase inhibition in root nodules and identified genes differentially expressed over a time course. Medicago truncatula nodulated plants (20 days post inoculation) were treated with 0.25 mM of PPT. Root nodules were harvested at 4, 8 and 24 hours after PPT application. As a control, root nodules collected just before PPT application were used (PPT 0h). Three biological replicates consisting of pools of root nodules harvested from five distinct plants were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix GeneChips.
