The single-cell transcriptome program of nodule development cellular lineages in Medicago truncatula

ABSTRACT: Medicago truncatula engages in root nodule symbiosis by developing a de novo plant organ (known as nodule) in its roots in response to the infection by rhizobia. These nodules are de novo plant organs that provide an optimal environment for the rhizobia to fix nitrogen in exchange for photosynthates. The establishment of root nodule symbioses (RNS) requires the coordination of two distinct processes: bacterial infection and nodule organogenesis. In this study we used single-cell RNA-seq to investigate the first hours of the establishment of the root nodule symbiosis aiming to identify the transcriptional mechanisms governing this process.

In-nodule transcriptome analysis of Paraburkholderia phymatum during symbiosis with Phaseolus vulgaris

Project description:Paraburkholderia phymatum belongs to the β-subclass of proteobacteria. It has recently been shown to be able to nodulate and fix nitrogen in symbiosis with several mimosoid and papillionoid legumes. In contrast to symbiosis of legumes with α-proteobacteria, very little is known about the molecular determinants underlying the successful establishment of this mutualistic relationship with β-proteobacteria. In this study, we analyzed RNA-seq data of free-living P. phymatum growing under nitrogen replete and limited conditions, the latter partially mimicking the situation in nitrogen deprived soils. Among the genes up-regulated under nitrogen limitation, we found genes involved in exopolysaccharide production and motility, two traits relevant for plant root infection. Next, RNA-seq data of P. phymatum grown under free-living conditions and from symbiotic root nodules of Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean) were generated and compared. Among the genes highly up-regulated during symbiosis, we identified an operon encoding a potential cytochrome o ubiquinol oxidase (Bphy_3646-49). Bean root nodules induced by a cyoB mutant strain showed reduced nitrogenase and nitrogen fixation abilities suggesting an important role of the cytochrome for respiration inside the nodule. Analysis of mutant strains for RNA polymerase transcription factor rpoN (σ54) and its activator NifA indicated that – similar to the situation in α-rhizobia – P. phymatum RpoN and NifA are key regulators during symbiosis with P. vulgaris.

Gene expression data from phosphinothricin (PPT) treated Medicago truncatula root nodules

Project description:Nitrogen assimilation in plants is a tightly regulated process that integrates developmental and environmental signals. The legume-rhizobial symbiosis results in the formation of a specialized organ called root nodule, where the rhizobia fixes atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia. Ammonia is assimilated by the plant enzyme glutamine synthetase, which is specifically inhibited by PPT. The expression of key genes related to the regulation of root nodule metabolism will likely be affected by glutamine synthetase inhibition. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in response to Glutamine synthetase inhibition in root nodules and identified genes differentially expressed over a time course.

RNA-seq analysis of distal gene expression changes during nodulation

Project description:Legume plants form symbiotic relationships with diazotrophic bacteria called rhizobia. During such symbiosis, plants provide bacteria with preferred carbon sources such as malate and succinate in return for essential reduced nitrogen. Compatible interactions result in a series of plant root modifications that eventually result in nodule formation. Bacteria living in the nodule cells fix nitrogen via the nitrogenase enzyme complex. Interestingly, as in plant-pathogen interactions, incompatibility in legume-rhizobia associations is also regulated in a genotype-specific manner. For example, the dominant Rj2 gene is presumed to help exclude poor nitrogen-fixing or less-beneficial rhizobia such as B. japonicum USDA122 (U122). The process likely involves recognition of bacterial effectors by host receptor proteins similar to the perception of pathogenic microbes. Our results show that genetic exclusion of incompatible rhizobia in the root requires conserved molecular components of the plant immune response pathway and results in the induction of systemic signaling in the distal tissue. To better understand the mechanism underlying incompatible rhizobia-induced systemic signaling, we compared the transcriptional changes in the foliar tissue of Rj2 plants inoculated with compatible or incompatible rhizobia strains, using RNA-Seq analysis.

Regulation of gene expression during formation of nodule-like structures (NLS) in rice roots

Project description:Several studies have shown that plant hormones play key roles during legume-rhizobia symbiosis. For instance, auxins can induce formation of nodule-like structures (NLS) on legume roots in the absence of rhizobia. Furthermore, these NLS can be colonized by nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which favor nitrogen fixation compared to regular roots and subsequently increase plant yield. Interestingly, auxin also induces similar NLS in cereal roots. While several genetic studies have identified plant genes controlling NLS formation in legumes, no studies have investigated the genes involved in NLS formation in cereals. In this study, we performed a comprehensive RNA sequencing experiment to identify genes differentially expressed during NLS formation in rice at different stages and identified several promising genes for control of NLS based on their biological and molecular functions.

Expression data of Nodule Cysteine-Rich (NCR) Defensin-Like (DEFL) genes in different stages of nodule development in Medicago truncatula

Project description:We have undertaken a detailed study to identify mechanisms regulating expression of NCRs. We used a custom Affymetrix oligonucleotide microarray to examine the expression changes of 566 NCRs in different stages of nodule development. Additionally, rhizobial mutants were used to understand the importance of the rhizobial components in induction of NCRs. Early NCRs were detected during the initial infection of rhizobia in nodules and continue to be expressed into the late stages of nodule development. Late NCRs were induced concomittant with bacteroid development in the nodules. The induction of these groups of genes was correlated with the number and morphology of rhizobia in the nodule. We used a custom Affymetrix chip containing 684 probe sequences of Medicago DEFLs to explore the expression patterns of NCRs in nodules inoculated with Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021(Sm1021) at marked developmental stages and nodules inoculated with various mutants derived from Sm1021 totalling 14 different treatments. Each treatment was supported by three biological replicates giving a grand total of 42 samples.

Comparison of transcriptome between free-living and symbiotic cells of Frankia alni ACN14a

Project description:The actinobacteria Frankia alni is able to induce the formation of nodules on the root of a large spectrum of actinorhizal plants, where it converts dinitrogen to ammonia in exchange for plant photosynthates. In the present study, transcriptional analyses were performed on nitrogen-replete free-living cells and on Alnus glutinosa nodule bacteria, using whole genome microarrays. Distribution of nodule-induced genes on the genome was found to be mostly over regions with high synteny between three Frankia genomes, while nodule-repressed genes, which were mostly hypothetical and not conserved, were spread around the genome. Genes known to be related to symbiosis were highly induced: nif (nitrogenase), hup2 (hydrogenase uptake), suf (sulfur-iron cluster) and shc (hopanoids synthesis). The expression of genes involved in ammonium assimilation and transport was strongly modified suggesting that bacteria ammonium assimilation was limited. Genes involved in particular in transcriptional regulation, signalling processes, protein drug export, protein secretion, lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan biosynthesis that may play a role in symbiosis were also identified. We showed that this nodule transcriptome of Frankia was highly similar among phylogenetically distant plant families.

Transcriptome of Frankia in nitrogen-fixing root-nodule symbiosis with Datisca glomerata

Project description:A transcriptome of Cluster II Frankia in nitrogen-fixing root-nodule symbiosis with the host plant, Datisca glomerata, was obtained by Illumina sequencing and mapping to the corresponding published genome (NCBI Bioproject PRJNA46257). Major metabolic pathways detected in Cluster II Frankia in symbiosis with Datisca glomerata were comparable to those described as up-regulated in the Frankia alni-Alnus glutinosa symbiosis (N Alloisio et al, MPMI 23(5):593-607, 2010): nitrogenase biosynthesis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, respiratory-chain related functions, oxidation protection, and terpenoid biosynthesis. These functions are consistent with the primary activities of Frankia in root nodules, e.g. to carry out the energetically-demanding fixation of atmospheric dinitrogen to ammonium, and to maintain internal reducing conditions. Expression of genes coding for amino-acid biosynthetic pathways, including arginine as reported previously (AM Berry et al. Funct Plant Biol 38, 645–652, 2011) was detected. A striking difference from other Frankia strains, revealed in the transcriptome of the Cluster II Frankia in symbiosis, was the expression of homologs of rhizobial nodulation genes, nodA, nodB and nodC.

Transcription profiling of soybean nodulation by Bradyrhizobium japonicum

Project description:Legumes interact with nodulating bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia for plant use. This nitrogen fixation takes place within root nodules that form after infection of root hairs by compatible rhizobia. Using cDNA microarrays, we monitored gene expression in soybean (Glycine max) inoculated with the nodulating bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum 4, 8, and 16 days after inoculation (dai), time points that coincided with nodule development and the onset of nitrogen fixation. This experiment identified several thousand genes that were differentially expressed in response to B. japonicum inoculation. Expression of 27 genes was analyzed by qRT-PCR and their expression patterns mimicked the microarray results confirming integrity of analyses. The microarray results suggest that B. japonicum reduces plant defense responses during nodule development. In addition, the data revealed a high level of regulatory complexity (transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, post-translational) that is likely essential for development of the symbiosis and adjustment to an altered nutritional status. Keywords = symbiosis Keywords = nodulation Keywords = rhizobium Keywords = defense Keywords = ANOVA Keywords = plant loop design, 7 samples, 7 comparison, 2 technical repeats including dye swaps, 4 biological repeats

NODULE INCEPTION recruits the lateral root developmental program for symbiotic nodule organogenesis

Project description:In order to better understand the commonalities and differences in lateral root and nodule development, we compared their organogenesis and correlated this with changes in gene expression. To initiate lateral roots in Medicago truncatula we turned 2-day-old seedlings 135°, before returning them to their original axis of growth, while for nodule initiation we applied droplets of Sinorhizobium meliloti on the susceptibility zone of the root.
