Effects of Spodoptera exigua eggs on gene expression in systemic Nicotiana attenuata leaves

ABSTRACT: Plants received oviposition by S. exigua (1-2 egg clutches). After 1 day, tissue from the next younger (systemic) leaf, or from the respective leaf position of a control plant without eggs, was harvested for RNA extraction.

Nicotiana attenuata transcriptome after oviposition and herbivory by S. exigua and M. sexta

Project description:Oviposition by lepidopteran herbivores on Nicotiana attenuata primes plant defence responses that are induced by the feeding larvae. While oviposition by both the generalist Spodoptera exigua and the specialist Manduca sexta primes the production of defensive phenylpropanoids, their larvae are differentially affected. We investigate here the impact of prior oviposition on the transcriptome and phytohormone levels of plants that were later attacked by larvae to find regulatory signals of this priming. In a full-factorial design, we evaluated the effects of oviposition and herbivory by both species. Oviposition alone had only subtle effects at the transcriptional level. Laval feeding alone induced species-specific plant responses. Larvae of the generalist regulated phytohormones and gene expression stronger than larvae of the specialist. A day after larvae started to feed, we detected no significant alterations of the plant's response to larval feeding due to prior oviposition by conspecific moths. Yet, oviposition by each of the species profoundly influenced the plant's transcriptional and phytohormonal response to feeding larvae of the other species. Remarkably, the species-specific plant responses to larval feeding shifted towards the response normally elicited by larvae of the ovipositing species. Thus, plants may already recognise an insect's identity upon its oviposition.

Oviposition by Spodoptera exigua on Solanum dulcamara alters the plant's response to herbivory and impairs larval performance [L1]

Project description:Plant resistance traits against insect herbivores are extremely plastic. Plants respond not only to the herbivory itself, but also to oviposition by herbivorous insects. How prior oviposition affects plant responses to larval herbivory is largely unknown. Combining bioassays and defense protein activity assays with microarray analyses and metabolite profiling, we investigated the impact of preceding oviposition on the interaction of Solanum dulcamara with the generalist lepidopteran herbivore Spodoptera exigua at the levels of the plant's resistance, transcriptome and metabolome. We found that oviposition increased plant resistance to the subsequently feeding larvae. While constitutive and feeding-induced levels of defensive protease inhibitor activity remained unaffected, pre-exposure to eggs altered S. dulcamara's transcriptional and metabolic response to larval feeding in leaves local and systemic to oviposition. Particularly, genes involved in phenylpropanoid metabolism were stronger expressed in previously oviposited plants, which was reflected by reciprocal changes of primary metabolites upstream and within these pathways. Our data highlight that plants integrate signals from non-threatening life stages of their natural enemies to optimize their response when they become actually attacked. The observed transcriptional and metabolic reshaping of S. dulcamara's response to S. exigua herbivory suggests a role of phenylpropanoids in oviposition-primed plant resistance.

Solanum dulcamara's response to insect eggs comprises ovicidal hydrogen peroxide production

Project description:Plants can respond to insect oviposition but little is known about which responses directly target the insect eggs and how. Here, we reveal a mechanism by which the bittersweet nightshade, Solanum dulcamara, kills the eggs of a generalist noctuid herbivore. The plant responded at the site of oviposition by Spodoptera exigua with neoplasm and chlorotic tissue formation, accumulation of reactive oxygen species and induction of defence genes and proteins. Transcriptome analysis revealed that these responses were reflected in the transcriptional reprogramming of the egg-laden leaf. The plant-mediated egg mortality on S. dulcamara was not present on a genotype lacking chlorotic leaf tissue at the oviposition sites on which the eggs are exposed to less hydrogen peroxide. As exposure to hydrogen peroxide increased egg mortality, while catalase supplementation prevented the plants from killing the eggs, our results suggest that ROS formation directly acts as an ovicidal plant response of S. dulcamara.
