Project description:Plants develop mutualistic association with beneficial rhizobacteria. To understand this important phenomenon, early mechanisms for establishing the mutualism are critical. Here we report that active DNA demethylation in plants controls root secretion of myo-inositol, which triggers and further facilitates colonization of the beneficial rhizobacteria Bacillus megaterium strain YC4, thereby allowing for plant growth-promotion. YC4 promotes plant growth but the beneficial effects were lost in the Arabidopsis mutant rdd that is defective in active DNA demethylation. Roots of rdd failed to associate with YC4, meanwhile the level of myo-inositol in root exudates was drastically reduced in rdd. Supplementation of myo-inositol to rdd restored YC4 colonization and plant growth-promotion, while plants with defective myo-inositol monophosphatase also failed in establishing mutualism with YC4. myo-Inositol not only induced chemotaxis of YC4 but also increased YC4 biofilm production, consistent with the transcriptional regulation of YC4 by myo-inositol. In addition, myo-inositol preferentially attracts Bacillus megaterium among the examined bacteria species. Regardless of YC4 inoculation, myo-inositol biosynthesis and catabolism genes are down- and up-regulated, respectively, in rdd compared to wild type plants. The differential expression of myo-inositol homeostasis genes is correlated with local DNA hypermethylation, whereas genetic disruption of the RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway abolished these epigenetic marks and reset the corresponding gene expression patterns, resulting in restored YC4 colonization and plant growth-promotion. Importantly, that active DNA demethylation controls myo-inositol-mediated mutualism between YC4 and plants was also demonstrated in Solanum lycopersicum. Our results uncover an important function of myo-inositol in plant-microbe interactions and its dependence on plant epigenetic regulation.

Project description:Microbes of the root-associated microbiome contribute to improve resilience and fitness of plants. In this study, the interaction between the salt stress tolerance-inducing beneficial bacterium Enterobacter sp. SA187 and Arabidopsis was investigated with a special focus on the plant immune system. Among the immune signalling mutants, the Lys-motif receptors LYK4 strongly affected the beneficial interaction. Overexpression of the chitin receptor components LYK4 compromised the beneficial effect of SA187 on Arabidopsis. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the role of LYK4 in immunity is intertwined with a function in remodeling defense responses. Overall, our data indicate that components of the plant immune system are key elements in mediating beneficial metabolite-induced plant abiotic stress tolerance.

Project description:Plants are targets of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released as a part of plant-plant communication, within-plant self-signaling and plant-microbe interactions. Therefore, understanding VOC perception and downstream signaling is vital for unraveling the mechanisms behind information exchange in plants, which remain largely unexplored. Using the hormone-like function of volatile terpenoids in reproductive organ development as a system with a visual marker for communication, we demonstrated that among the four petunia karrikin-insensitive receptors, PhKAI2ia stereo-specifically perceives the (-)-germacrene D signal, triggering a karrikin-like signaling cascade. This study provides new insights into plant olfaction, uncovers the role(s) of the unique intermediate clade of KAI2 receptors, illuminates the involvement of KAI2ia-dependent signaling pathway in volatile communication and gives insight into the long-standing question about the nature of potential endogenous karrikin-like ligand(s).

Project description:The intricate interactions between plants and microorganisms have garnered substantial scientific interest. While previous studies have highlighted the potential influence of various fungal volatile compounds(VCs) on plant growth and development, the precise mechanisms underlying this modulation still need to be discovered. In this study, we discovered that fungal volatile organic compounds from the soil-borne fungus Tolypocladium inflatum GT22 enhance the growth of Arabidopsis. Remarkably, following the priming of Arabidopsis with GT22 VC, it displayed an enhanced immune response, thereby mitigating the detrimental effects caused by both pathogenic infections and copper stress. Transcriptomic analyses of Arabidopsis seedlings treated with GT22 VCs revealed the differential expression of 90, 83, and 137 genes after 3, 24, and 48 hours of volatile exposure, respectively. These responsive genes are involved in growth, hormone regulation, defense mechanisms, and signaling pathways. Notably, the induction of genes related to innate immunity, hypoxia, salicylic acid (SA) biosynthesis and camalexin biosynthesis by GT22 VCs were reported. Among the VCs emitted by GT22, limonene is particularly noteworthy. Arabidopsis seedlings exposed to limonene exhibited not only growth promotion effects but also alleviation of copper stress, indicating that limonene may play a role in the interaction between GT22 and plants. Overall, the findings of this study provide evidence supporting that fungal VCs can promote plant growth and enhance both biotic and abiotic tolerance. Furthermore, our results suggest that seedlings exposed to T. inflatum GT22 VCs holds promising potential for harnessing beneficial effects to improve crop productivity.

Project description:Phytohormones control many vital biological processes within plants, including growth and development, senescence, seed setting, fruit ripening and innate immunity. These biological processes are controlled by specific combinations of multiple phytohormones. The three main phytohormones involved in plant innate immunity are salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET). SA is produced in response to biotrophic and hemibiotrophic pathogens. Whereas, JA and ET are produced in response to necrotrophic pathogens. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is found ubiquitously within the environment, and has been shown to participate in both beneficial and pathogenic interactions with host plants depending on bacterial strain and environment. In this study, we found that Brassica napus (canola) seedlings infected with P. aeruginosa strain PA14 displayed symptoms of disease and had significant weight loss in both root and shoot. Our transcriptomic data revealed that many molecular processes involved in plant innate immunity were upregulated, whereas photosynthesis was downregulated.

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:The oomycete Pythium oligandrum is a potential biocontrol agent to control a wide range of fungal and oomycetes-caused diseases such as Pythium myriotylum-caused rhizome rot in ginger leading to reduced yields and compromised quality. Previously, P. oligandrum has been studied for its plant growth-promoting potential by auxin production and induction of disease resistance by elicitors such as oligandrin. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play beneficial roles in sustainable agriculture by enhancing plant growth and resistance. We investigated the contribution of P. oligandrum-produced VOCs on plant growth and disease suppression by initially using N. benthamiana plants for screening. P. oligandrum VOCs significantly enhanced tobacco seedling and plant biomass content. Screening of the individual VOCs showed that 3-octanone and hexadecane promoted the growth of tobacco seedlings. The total VOCs from P. oligandrum also enhanced the shoot and root growth of ginger plants. Transcriptomic analysis showed a higher expression of genes related to plant growth hormones, and stress responses in the leaves of ginger plants exposed to P. oligandrum VOCs. The concentrations of plant growth hormones such as auxin, zeatin, and gibberellic acid were higher in the leaves of ginger plants exposed to P. oligandrum VOCs. In a ginger disease biocontrol assay, the VOC-exposed ginger plants infected with P. myriotylum had lower levels of disease severity. We conclude that this study contributes to understanding the growth-promoting mechanisms of P. oligandrum on ginger and tobacco, priming of ginger plants against various stress and the mechanisms of action of P. oligandrum as a biocontrol agent.

Project description:Carotenoids are isoprenoid pigments vital for photosynthesis. Moreover, they are the precursor of apocarotenoids including the phytohormones abscisic acid (ABA) and strigolactones (SLs), and retrograde signaling molecules and growth regulators (e.g., β-cyclocitral and zaxinone). The apocarotenoid β-ionone (β-I) was previously reported to exert antimicrobial effects, however, at very high millimolar concentrations. Here, we showed that the application of this volatile to Arabidopsis plants at micromolar concentrations caused a global reprogramming of gene expression, affecting thousands of transcripts involved in stress tolerance, growth, hormone metabolism, pathogen defense and photosynthesis. These changes, along with modulating the levels of the phytohormones ABA, jasmonic acid and salicylic acid, led to enhanced Arabidopsis resistance to Botrytis cinerea (B.c.); one of the most aggressive and widespread pathogenic fungi affecting numerous plant hosts and causing severe losses of post-harvested fruits. Pre-treatment of tobacco and tomato plants with β-I followed by inoculation with B.c. confirms the conserved effect of β-I in crop plants. Moreover, there was reduced susceptibility to B.c. in LYCOPENE β-CYCLASE-expressing tomato fruits possessing elevated levels of endogenous β-I, indicating beneficial biological activities of this compound in planta. Our work unraveled β-I as a further carotenoid-derived regulatory metabolite and opens up new possibilities to control B.c. infection by establishing this natural volatile as an environmentally friendly bio-fungicide.
