Project description:Metabolomics and transcriptomics of Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens-induced root nodules Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens is a nitrogen-fixing endosymbiont, which can grow inside root-nodule cells of the agriculturally important soybean and other host plants. Our previous studies described B. diazoefficiens host-specific global expression changes occurring during legume infection at the transcript and protein level. In order to further characterize nodule metabolism, we here determine by flow injection -time of flight mass spectrometry analysis the metabolome of i) nodules and roots from four different B. diazoefficiens host plants, ii) soybean nodules harvested at different time points during nodule development, and iii) soybean nodules infected by two strains mutated in key genes for nitrogen fixation, respectively. Ribose (soybean), tartaric acid (mungbean), hydroxybutanoyloxybutanoate (siratro) and catechol (cowpea) were among the metabolites found to be specifically elevated in one of the respective host plants. While the level of C4-dicarboxylic acids decreased during soybean nodule development, we observed an accumulation of trehalose-phosphate at 21 days post infection (dpi). Moreover, nodules from non-nitrogen-fixing bacteroids (nifA and nifH mutants) showed specific metabolic alterations; these were also supported by transcriptomics data that was generated for the two mutant strains and were helpful to separate for some examples the respective bacterial and plant contributions to the metabolic profile. The alterations included signs of nitrogen limitation in both mutants, and an increased level of a phytoalexin in nodules induced by the nifA mutant, suggesting that the tissue of these nodules exhibits defense and stress reactions.

Project description:Various species of rhizobium establish compatible symbiotic relationships with soybean (Glycine max) leading to the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules in roots. The formation of functional nodules is mediated through complex developmental and transcriptional reprogramming that involves the activity of thousands of plant genes. However, host transcriptome responses that determine the outcome of the symbiotic interactions leading to the formation of functional or non-functional nodules remain unexplored. In this study, we investigated differential compatibilities between rhizobium strains (Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens USDA 110Bradyrhizobium sp. strain LVM 105) and cultivated and wild soybeans. The nodulation assays revealed that both USDA 110 and LVM 105 strains effectively nodulate G. soja but only USDA 110 can form symbiotic relationships with Williams 82. RNA-seq data revealed that USDA 110 and LVM 105 induce distinct transcriptome programming in functional mature nodules formed on G. soja roots where genes involved in nucleosome assembly, DNA replication, regulation of cell cycle, and defense responses play key roles. Transcriptome comparison also suggested that activation of genes associated with cell wall biogenesis and organization and defense responses together with downregulation of genes involved in the biosynthesis of isoprenoids and antioxidant stress are associated with the formation of non-functional nodules on Williams 82 roots. Moreover, our analysis implies that increased activity of genes involved in oxygen binding, amino acid transport, and nitrate transport differentiates between fully-developed nodules in cultivated versus wild soybeans.

Project description:The soybean–Bradyrhizobium symbiosis enables symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) within root nodules, reducing reliance on synthetic N fertilizers. However, nitrogen fixation is transient, peaking several weeks after Bradyrhizobium colonization and declining as nodules senesce in coordination with host development. To investigate the regulatory mechanisms governing SNF and senescence, we conducted a temporal transcriptomic analysis of soybean nodules colonized with Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens USDA110. Weekly nodule samples (2 to 10 weeks postinoculation, wpi) were analyzed using RNA and small RNA sequencing, and acetylene reduction assays assessed nitrogenase activity from 4 to 7 wpi. We identified three major nodule developmental phases: early development (2 to 3 wpi), nitrogen fixation (3 to 8 wpi), and senescence (8 to 10 wpi). Soybean showed extensive transcriptional reprogramming during senescence, whereas Bradyrhizobium underwent major transcriptional shifts early in development before stabilizing during nitrogen fixation. We identified seven soybean genes and several microRNAs as candidate biomarkers of nitrogen fixation, including lipoxygenases (Lox), suggesting roles for oxylipin metabolism. Soy hemoglobin-2 (Hb2), previously classified as nonsymbiotic, was upregulated during senescence, implicating oxidative stress responses within aging nodules. Upregulation of the Bradyrhizobium paa operon and rpoH during senescence suggesting metabolic adaptation for survival beyond symbiosis. Additionally, Bradyrhizobium nif gene expression showed stage-specific regulation, with nifK peaking at 2 wpi, nifD and nifA at 2 and 10 wpi, and nifH, nifW, and nifS at 10 wpi. These findings provide insights into SNF regulation and nodule aging, revealing temporal gene expression patterns that could inform breeding or genetic engineering strategies to enhance nitrogen fixation in soybeans and other legume crops.

Project description:To dissect differences in gene expression profile of soybean roots and root nodules, we have employed microarray analysis. Seeds of soybean (Glycine max L. cv. Nourin No. 2) were inoculated with rhizobia (Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens USDA110) and were hydroponically cultivated under controlled conditions with nitrogen free culture solution (Saito et al. 2014). At 19 days after planting, each plant were treated with or without 5 mM nitrate for 24 hours. Roots and nodules from three plants were pooled with three biological replications, and total RNA was extracted.

Project description:Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens can live inside soybean root nodules and in free-living conditions. In both states, when oxygen levels decrease, cells adjust their protein pools by gene transcription modulation. PhaR encodes a transcription factor annotated as PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate) accumulation regulator. We found that PhaR not only controls the PHA cycle but also acts as a global regulator of excess carbon allocation by controlling the expression of fixK2 and nifA genes, both encoding key transcription factors for microoxic and symbiotic metabolism in B. diazoefficiens. The function of PhaR was expanded by a multi-pronged approach that includes analysis of the effects of phaR mutation at transcriptional and protein levels of putative PhaR targets and direct control mediated by PhaR determined by EMSA assays. We also were able to identify PhaR, phasins and other proteins associated with PHA granules which confirmed a global function of PhaR in microoxia.

Project description:To understand the responses of plants to environmental stresses will help mitigate the problems via creating stress-tolerant crop.Whole genome DNA microarrays were used to compare the nodule transcriptome profiling of soybean ‘Williams 82’ grown in vermiculite and subjected to low (0.1 mM; LP) or adequate (2.0 mM; HP) Pi levels. Plants were inoculated with two Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens strains (USDA110 vs. CB1809), which exhibited contrasting growth and nodulation patterns under LP conditions, with the former model strain displaying a lower Pi-stress acclimatization in combination with the model Williams 82. Affymetrix’s whole Soybean Gene Expression Microarray (66K) was used. Microarrays were used to compare the nodule transcriptomes of the model soybean ‘Williams 82’ plants grown in vermiculite and subjected to low (0.1 mM) or sufficient (2.0 mM) inorganic phosphate levels

Project description:Certain alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, the rhizobia, are able to infect legume roots, elicit root nodules, and live therein as endosymbiotic, nitrogen-fixing bacteroids. Host recognition and specificity are the results of consecutive programming events in bacteria and host plants in which important signaling molecules, e.g. plant flavonoids and rhizobial lipooligosaccharides, play key roles. Here, we introduce a new aspect of this symbiosis: the adaptive response to hosts. In contrast to host specificity, which determines early steps in bacteria-plant interaction, the adaptation to hosts refers to late events in mature bacteroids where specific genes are transcribed and translated that help the endosymbionts to meet the disparate environmental requirements imposed by the hosts in which they live. This concept was elaborated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum and three different legumes (soybean, cowpea, siratro). We systematically analyzed and compared the transcriptomes as well as the proteomes in bacteroids from root nodules of the three hosts. Transcripts and proteins were thus identified which are induced in only one of the three hosts. We then focused on those determinants that were congruent in the two data sets of host-specific transcripts and proteins, and arrived at 20 for soybean, 7 for siratro, and 4 for cowpea. One conspicuous gene cluster for a predicted ABC-type transporter, differentially expressed in siratro, was deleted. The corresponding mutant had a symbiotic defect on siratro rather than on soybean or cowpea. This result demonstrates the value of the applied approach and corroborates the host-specific adaptation concept. B. japonicum transcriptome was determined for the three different host plants
