Project description:Myzus persicae (green peach aphid) feeding on Arabidopsis thaliana induces a defense response, quantified as reduced aphid progeny production, in infested leaves but not in other parts of the plant. Similarly, infiltration of aphid saliva into Arabidopsis leaves causes only a local increase in aphid resistance. Further characterization of the defense-eliciting salivary components indicates that Arabidopsis recognizes a proteinaceous elicitor with a size between 3 to 10 kD. Genetic analysis using well-characterized Arabidopsis mutant shows that saliva-induced resistance against M. persicae is independent of the known defense signaling pathways involving salicylic acid, jasmonate, and ethylene. Among 78 Arabidopsis genes that were induced by aphid saliva infiltration, 52 had been identified previously as aphid-induced, but few are responsive to the well-known plant defense signaling molecules salicylic acid and jasmonate. Quantitative PCR analysis confirms expression of saliva-induced genes. In particular, expression of a set of O-methyltransferases, which may be involved in the synthesis of aphid-repellent glucosinolates, was significantly up-regulated by both M. persicae feeding and treatment with aphid saliva. However, this did not correlate with increased production of 4-methoxyindol-3-ylmethylglucosinolate, suggesting that aphid salivary components trigger an Arabidopsis defense response that is independent of this aphid-deterrent glucosinolate.

Project description:The aim of this study is to identify Arabidopsis genes whose expression is altered by aphid feeding. An understanding of the plant aphid interaction at the level of the plant transcriptome will 1) consolidate current areas of investigation focused on the phloem composition (the aphid diet), 2) open up areas of plant aphid interactions for ourselves and other workers, 3) Contribute to understanding the use of new molecular technologies in an environmental context and 4) contribute to existing and development of novel control strategies.Our Arabidopsis/Myzus persicae system provides a valuable model for the study because of: a) the advantages of using Arabidopsis, b) The ability to use clonal insects, c) phloem feeding aphids facilitate focus on a specific cell type, d) aphid stylectomy allows collection of pure phloem sap to monitor Âphloem phenotype of the plant and the insect diet, e) we have techniques to monitor the reproductive performance and feeding behaviour aphids.Our strategy has been to test the function of selected genes, particularly those regulating phloem composition (the feeding site of the aphid) based on current phloem models of phloem function. Gene choice is limited the simplicity of current models of phloem aphid interaction.We propose a simple two treatment (aphid infested vs control plants) experiment that will identify novel target genes for future analysis. Arabidopsis plants (variety Columbia) will be grown in 16/8 light/dark in temperature controlled growth rooms. At growth stage 3.90, when rosette growth is complete, 10 clonal adult Myzus persicae will be caged in clip cages on the two largest leaves on each plant. Control plants will be treated identically except that the cages will be empty. Leaves will be harvested 8 h after infestation. This time point is selected as we know that 90% of aphids are plugged into the sieve element within 2h and that a 6h lag phase has period has previously been used when examining gene expression affected by wounding. In subsequent experiments we will examine time courses of expression of relevant genes using other approaches. Pooling two leaves from each of ten plants will generate the RNA sample, ensuring that expression signals are representative of the population of plants.

Project description:The metabolic response of peach tree (Prunus persica) to green aphid (Myzus persicae) has been investigated by GC-MS profiling of the apex polar extracts. Six plants of two cultivars, GF305 (sensitive to M. persicae) and Rubira (resistant), were obtained from the germination of seeds after a 3 months stratification at 4C and grown for eight weeks in a green house before transfer in a growth chamber where the experiment took place. Three plants of each genotype were infested with 10 synchronized green aphid female adults (clones MP06). Aphids were removed after 48 hours and the plant apex (about 100 mg) were collected in liquid nitrogen and thoroughly ground with a ball mill.

Project description:Aphids are phloem-feeding insects that cause yield loss on a wide range of crops, including cereals such as barley. While most aphid species are limited to one or few host species, some are able to reproduce on many plants belonging to different families. Interestingly, aphid probing-behaviour can be observed on both host and non-host species indicating that interactions take place at the molecular level that may impact host range. Here, we aimed to gain insight into the interaction of barley with aphid species differing in their ability to infest this crop by analysing transcriptional responses. First, we determined colonization efficiency, settlement, and probing behaviour for the aphid species Rhopalosiphum padi, Myzus persicae and Myzus cerasi, which defined host, poor-host and non-host interactions, respectively. Analyses of barley transcriptional responses revealed gene sets differentially regulated upon the different barley-aphid interactions and showed that the poor-host interaction with M. persicae resulted in the strongest deregulation of genes. Interestingly, we identified several thionin genes strongly up-regulated upon interaction with M. persicae, and to a lesser extend upon R. padi interaction. Ectopic expression of two of these genes in Nicotiana benthamiana reduced host susceptibility to M. persicae, indicating thionins contribute to defences against aphids.

Project description:Plant viruses rely on both host plant and vectors for a successful infection. This study investigated the global transcriptomic changes in Arabidopsis thaliana that were simultaneously exposed to both a plant virus (turnip yellows virus, polerovirus genus and Solemoviridae family) and its aphid vector (Myzus persicae). Some of these modifications in gene expression may promote in a timely manner viral transmission and dispersion.

Project description:Aphids, sap-sucking insects in the order Hemiptera, are among the most prolific insect vectors of plant viruses Plant viruses from the family Luteoviridae are transmitted exclusively by aphids in a circulative manner and cause significant crop yield losses. Circulative plant viruses must cross the aphid gut and other tissues prior to transmission to a new host plant. The discovery of proteins that control acquisition and transmission in the insect vector is the biggest challenge for the vector biology field and will have practical applications for growers by providing new molecular targets for the development of precision vector management tools. The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, is a vector of the Potato leafroll virus (PLRV), a polerovirus in the Luteoviridae. PLRV transmission efficiency was significantly reduced when a clonal lineage of M. persicae was reared on turnip (T-Myzus) as compared to the weed physalis (P-Myzus). The effect on PLRV transmission efficiency was transient and caused by a host-switch response. Using 2-D DIGE, we revealed that the major difference in the proteome profile of P- and T-Myzus was the lysosomal cysteine protease cathepsin B, with multiple size and charge isoforms of this enzyme up-regulated in T-Myzus. Quantitative, shotgun proteomics revealed a specific upregulation in the expression of other lysosomal proteins in T-Myzus as compared to P-Myzus, including cathepsin B, cathepsin B-16, beta-glucuronidase, peroxidasin, legumain-like, and aminopeptidase-N. The titer of PLRV was over 1.5 fold higher in P-Myzus than in T-Myzus at 24h and 72h after the beginning of virus acquisition, suggesting that virus acquisition in P-Myzus was more efficient. Cathepsin B and PLRV localization were starkly different in P- and T-Myzus midguts, the site of PLRV acquisition into the insect. In P-Myzus midguts, an abundance of PLRV was observed inside midgut cells, and cathepsin B was sequestered in a subcellular compartment. In contrast, there is near complete co-localization of cathepsin B and PLRV at the cell membranes in viruliferous T-Myzus. Inhibition of cathepsin and other cysteine proteases with E64 restored the ability of T-Myzus to transmit PLRV in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that the activities of lysosomal cysteine proteases at the cell membrane in T-Myzus is responsible for the change in virus transmission phenotype in these aphids. T-Myzus individuals weighed more and had more progeny than P-Myzus individuals. These data are all consistent with the hypothesis that there is an induction of lysosomal exocytos in the midgut of T-Myzus linked to the ability of the aphid to acquire PLRV. These data also show that the ability of the generalist aphid M. persicae to transmit PLRV is influenced by the host plant the aphids are reared on, information that is useful to growers for polerovirus management in field crops.
