Expression profiling of a lesion mimic genotype, splNF4050-8, that confers blast resistance in rice

ABSTRACT: Lesion mimic mutants in rice are widely known as spotted leaf (spl) mutants, of which several genotypes exhibit enhanced resistance to different races of Magnaporthe grisea. Besides naturally occurring spotted leaf mutants, tissue culture-induced reverse genetic repositories also act as sources of lesion mimic mutants in rice. We systematically evaluated a large collection of Tos17 mutant panel lines, developed and maintained at the National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences, Tsukuba, Japan, for their reaction to three different races of M. grisea and identified a lesion mimic mutant, NF4050-8, that showed lesions similar to naturally occurring spl5 mutant and enhanced resistance to all three blast races tested. Microarray analysis of ~44,000 rice genes in NF4050-8 with Nipponbare as control during the progressive lesion appearance stage revealed significant up-regulation of numerous defense/pathogenesis-related genes as well as several WRKY domain-containing genes and down-regulation of haem peroxidase gene. Subsequent real-time PCR analysis of WRKY45 and PR1b genes in NF4050-8 and spl5 suggested possible constitutive activation of a defense signaling pathway downstream of Salicylic Acid (SA) but independent of NH1 in these mutant lines of rice.

Project description:The allene oxide synthase (AOS) branch and the hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) branch of the oxylipin pathway function in plant responses to diverse stresses and have potential cross-talks between each other in the biosynthesis and signaling regulation, but there is still an absence of direct evidence and detailed information about this communication. Here, we identified and characterized a jasmonates acid (JA) overproduction mutant, cea62, by screening the Constitutive Expression of AOS gene (cea) from rice T-DNA insertion mutant library. Map-based cloning was used to isolate the target gene as the hydroperoxide lyase OsHPL3 gene. The gene expression, HPL enzyme activity and its resulting products, (E)-2-hexenal, were all depleted in the cea62 mutant, which resulted in dramatic JA overproduction and activation of JA signaling in the mutant. Consistent with the formation of the lesion mimic phenotype and the timing of the induction for some defense responsive genes, the activation of JA biosynthesis and signaling was regulated in a developmental way, just as the way by which OsHPL3 was regulated in the wild type plant. Microarray data showed that the JA-governed defense response was greatly activated in the cea62 mutant plant and the cea62 plant obtained enhanced resistance to the bacterial blight pathogen Xanthomonasoryzaepvoryzae (Xoo) T1 strain. Wounding response was attenuated in the cea62 mutant at an early developmental stage, while it was partially recovered when JA levels were elevated at a later developmental stage in the cea62 mutant. But, the wounding response was not altered at different developmental stages in the wild type plant. These findings suggest that these two branches of the oxylipin pathways crosstalked in the biosynthesis and signaling pathways and cooperated with each other to function in diverse stress responses. We compared the gene expression profile in leaf tissues of the wild-type plant and the cea62 mutant after lesion mimic phenotype appeared two months after sowing. Total RNAs were extracted from leaf blades from the rice (Oryza sativa L.) wild-type Nipponbare plant and from leaf blades of the rice (Oryza sativa L.) cea62 mutant in the Nipponbare (ssp japonica) background at two months after sowing. Three replicates of the cea62 mutant and wild type were performed.
