Control of white mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) through plant mediated RNA interference

ABSTRACT: In this study, we developed transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana (AT1703) expressing double-stranded (ds)RNA to silence S. sclerotiorum ABHYDROLASE-3 and slow infection through host induced gene silencing (HIGS). Leaf infection assays show reduced S. sclerotiorum lesion size, fungal load, and ABHYDROLASE-3 transcript abundance in AT1703 lines compared to wild-type Col-0. To better understand how HIGS influences host-pathogen interactions, we performed global RNA sequencing on AT1703 and wild-type Col-0 lines directly at the site of S. sclerotiorum infection. Together, these results demonstrate the utility of HIGS technology in slowing S. sclerotiorum infection and provides insight into the role of ABHYDROLASE-3 gene activity in the A. thaliana – S. sclerotiorum pathosystem.

Global transcriptome of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum during in vitro growth and Arabidopsis thaliana infection

Project description:Cooperation is associated with major transitions in evolution such as the emergence of multicellularity. It is central to the evolution of many complex traits in nature, including growth and virulence in pathogenic bacteria. Whether cells of multicellular parasites function cooperatively during infection remains however largely unknown. Here, we show that hyphal cells of the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum reprogram towards division of labor to facilitate the colonization of host plants. Using global transcriptome sequencing, we reveal that gene expression patterns diverge markedly in cells at the center and apex of hyphae during A. thaliana colonization compared to in vitro growth. We reconstructed a genome-scale metabolic model for S. sclerotiorum and used flux balance analysis to demonstrate metabolic heterogeneity supporting division of labor between hyphal cells. Accordingly, continuity between the central and apical compartments of invasive hyphae was required for optimal growth in planta. Using a multi-cell model of fungal hyphae, we show that this cooperative functioning enhances fungal growth predominantly during host colonization. Our work identifies cooperation in fungal hyphae as a mechanism emerging at the multicellular level to support host colonization and virulence.

Global RNA sequencing reveals the effect of foliar boron application in protection of Brassica napus against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum infection

Project description:Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, the causal agent of white mould, is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen responsible for extensive crop loss. Current control options rely heavily on the application of chemical fungicides that are becoming less effective and may lead to the development of fungal resistance. In the current study, we used a foliar spray application of boron to protect Brassica napus (canola) from S. sclerotiorum infection using whole plant infection assays. Application of boron to aerial surfaces of the canola plant reduced the number of S. sclerotiorum forming lesions by 87% compared to an untreated control. We used dual RNA sequencing to profile the effect of boron on both the host plant and fungal pathogen during the infection process. Differential gene expression analysis and gene ontology term enrichment further revealed the mode of action of a foliar boron spray at the mRNA level. A single foliar application of boron primed the plant defense response through the induction of genes associated with systemic acquired resistance while an application of boron followed by S. sclerotiorum infection induced genes associated with defense-response-related cellular signalling cascades. Additionally, in S. sclerotiorum inoculated on boron-treated B. napus, we uncovered gene activity in response to salicylic acid breakdown, consistent with salicylic-acid-dependent systemic acquired resistance induction within the host plant. Taken together, this study demonstrates that a foliar application of boron results in priming of the B. napus plant defense response, likely through systemic acquired resistance, thereby contributing to increased tolerance to S. sclerotiorum infection.

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals the Sclerotinia sclerotiorum resistance mechanism in sunflower

Project description:Background: Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is one of the most severe fungus diseases in many important crops including sunflower (Helianthus annuus) worldwide. Breeding the resistant varieties are the best strategy to control S. sclerotiorum, however, the molecular regulatory mechanisms of sunflower in response to S. sclerotiorum remain poorly understood. Methods: We performed a leaf transcriptomic analysis to understand the differential defense response to S. sclerotiorum in a disease resistant (DR) genotype and a disease susceptible (DS) genotype of sunflower 24 h post-inoculation. Results: A total of 7439 and 10151 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in DR and DS genotypes, respectively suggesting that the former is less affected by S. sclerotiorum infection. Pathway analysis revealed that response to S. sclerotiorum was mostly enriched in the DEGs that are involved in the cell wall, redox homeostasis, immune response, protein kinase activity, hormone, transcription factor activities as well as secondary metabolism. The magnitude of expression changes in a set of genes encoding expansins, pectate lyase activities, antioxidant activity and ethylene following S. sclerotiorum infection likely contributed to the different resistance levels of these two genotypes. One gene encoding effector receptor NLR revealing significant opposite expression pattern between DR and DS genotypes along with three hub-genes CDPK9, MAPK5, CML23 by protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis were considered as the most possible candidate genes. Conclusion: Our results provide in-depth insights into the molecular mechanisms associated with sunflower defense responses against S. sclerotiorum that will be of great utility in Sclerotinia-resistance breeding.

Host Induced Gene Silencing of the Sclerotinia sclerotiorum ABHYDROLASE-3 gene reduces disease severity in Brassica napus

Project description:Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a pathogenic fungus that infects hundreds of crop species, causing extensive yield loss every year. Chemical fungicides are used to control this phytopathogen, but with concerns about increasing resistance and impacts on non-target species, there is a need to develop alternative control measures. In the present study, we engineered Brassica napus to constitutively express a hairpin (hp)RNA molecule to silence ABHYRDOLASE-3 in S. sclerotiorum. We demonstrate the potential for Host Induced Gene Silencing (HIGS) to protect B. napus from S. sclerotiorum using leaf, stem and whole plant infection assays. The interaction between the transgenic host plant and invading pathogen was further characterized at the molecular level using dual-RNA sequencing and at the anatomical level through microscopy to understand the processes and possible mechanisms leading to increased tolerance to this damaging necrotroph. We observed significant shifts in the expression of genes relating to plant defense as well as cellular differences in the form of structural barriers around the site of infection in the HIGS-protected plants. Our results provide proof-of-concept that HIGS is an effective means of limiting damage caused by S. sclerotiorum to the plant and demonstrates the utility of this biotechnology in the development of resistance against fungal pathogens.

Global transcriptome of the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (strain 1980) during the colonization of 23 Accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Quantitative disease resistance (QDR) is an almost universal and often broad-spectrum process in plants, serving to limit the damage caused by pathogen infections. It represents the primary form of plant immunity that reduces disease symptoms induced by numerous pathogens actively killing host cells during infection, including the necrotrophic pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Investigating the evolutionary origins of QDR against necrotrophic fungi is crucial for comprehending how plant resistance evolves. To explore the diversity of local responses to S. sclerotiorum within a plant species level, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the entire transcriptomes from 23 accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana, mainly distributed across Europe. More than half on the pan-transcriptome displayed local responses toS. sclerotiorum, including similar transcriptome patterns. Notably, core S. sclerotiorum-responsive genes exhibited a clear gene age pattern, dominated by older genes forming protein-protein networks that continuously acquiring new hubs. Comparative transcriptome analyses revealed QDR is associated with quantitative expression variations specific to accession subsets. By comparison of promoter sequences, we have shown evidence that accession subsets independently evolved and acquired specific cis-regulatory elements, confering Sclerotinia resistance. This scenario suggests multiple exaptation trajectories of novel QDR genes through species-level cis-regulation. This study sheds light on the regulation of QDR-associated genes within a species, contributing to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of plant fungal resistance.
