Project description:We used laser-capture microdissection (LCM) to isolate specific cells from the Medicago truncatula nodule meristem (M), the distal infection (DIZ), the proximal infection zone (PIZ), infected cells (IC) and uninfected cells (UIC) from the fixation zone. Based on Medicago GeneChips, we identified the cell- and tissue-specific programm of gene expression in Medicago truncatula root nodules. Nodules were harvested three weeks after inoculation of Medicago truncatula (genotype Jemalong A17) plants with Sinorhizobium meliloti strain 2011. Nodules were fixed in Farmer's fixative and subsequently embedded in paraffin. 8 M-BM-5m de-paraffined sections were used to capture cells from the nodule meristem, distal infection zone, proximal infection zone, infected cells and uninfected cells from the fixation zone, using an Arcturus Pixcell II laser capture microscope. 3 biological replicates were used for each cell-/tissue type. After RNA extraction, the RNA was amplified and used for Medicago Gene Chip hybridization.

Project description:The bacterium, Sinorhizobium meliloti, interacts symbiotically with leguminous plants such as Medicago truncatula to form nitrogen-fixing root nodules. During symbiosis, plant and bacterial cells differentiate in a coordinated manner, resulting in specialized plant cells that contain nitrogen-fixing bacteroids. Medicago nodules are organized in structurally distinct tissue zones, representing different stages of bacterial and plant differentiation. We used laser-capture microdissection (LCM) to analyze bacterial and plant gene expression in four root nodule regions. In parallel, we analyzed gene expression in nodules formed by wild type bacteria on six plant mutants with nitrogen fixation deficiencies (dnf). We found that bacteroid metabolism is drastically remodeled during bacteroid differentiation. Many processes required for bacterial growth are down-regulated in the nitrogen fixation zone. The overall transcriptional changes are similar to those occurring during nutrient limitation by the stringent response. We also observed differential expression of bacterial genes involved in nitrogen fixation, cell envelope homeostasis, cell division, stress response and polyamine biosynthesis at distinct stages of nodule development. In M. truncatula we observed the differential regulation of several host processes that may trigger bacteroid differentiation and control bacterial infection. We analyzed plant and bacterial gene expression simultaneously, which allowed us to correlate processes in both organisms.

Project description:To understand the role of Medicago truncatula NODULE INCEPTION (MtNIN) in nodule development, we analyzed the transcriptome of roots ectopically overexpressing NIN, nodules of weak mutant allele nin-16, and nodules of dnf1-2 mutant.

Project description: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.

Project description:affy_ralstonia_medicago - Ralstonia solanacearum is the causal agent of the devastating bacterial wilt disease. Its infection process was studied with an in vitro inoculation procedure on intact roots of Medicago truncatula. The pathosystem involved susceptible A17 and resistant F83005.5 M truncatula lines infected with the pathogenic strain GMI1000. The mutant A17 line, Sickle, which showed a resistant phenotype was also part of the experiment. To identify host signaling pathway triggered by R. solanacearum infection with a focus on the involvment of ethylene, we used the Medicago Affymetrix array to monitore the expression profiles and the molecular process associated with initial symptoms development (12hpi) and colonization (72hpi). In order to maximize chances to observe differential gene expression, RNA samples were extracted from the root infection zone (root tips) -Three Medicago truncatula lines, A17, F83005.5 and sickle were inoculated with GMI1000 Ralstonai solanacearum strain (107 cfu/ml). RNA were extracted from root extremities (1 cm above the root tip) at time 0, 12h and 72h post inoculation. Three biological repeats were conducted

Project description:affy_pathogen_medicago - In compatible interaction between plants and biotrophic microorganisms, neoformation of organs occurs to ensure an efficient relationship between both partners. During the interaction between Medicago truncatula and Sinorhizobium meliloti, bacteria induce the development of root nodule with a permanent meristem, and chronically infect plant cells from zone II before differentiating into atmospheric nitrogen fixing bacteroids. M. truncatula is also plant host for root-knot nematodes, such as Meloidogyne incognita. During this compatible pathogenic interaction, root-knot nematodes induce redifferenciation of root cells from the vascular cylinder into specialized feeding cells called “giant cells”. Hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the surrounding cells lead to the formation of typical root galls. This phenomenon invokes host pathways in common with those necessary for nitrogen-nodule formation, suggesting that nematode and rhizobia exploit a relative common strategy of plant cell infection at the cellular and molecular levels. In order to highlight key genes involved in gall and nodule developments, parallel laser microdissection of giant cells from galls and cells from zone II of nodules, followed by transcriptomic analysis, were performed. The RNA pools were extracted from these cells, amplified and used for transcriptomic studies with M. truncatula Affymetrix DNA chips.

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. Medicago truncatula nodulated plants (20 days post inoculation) were treated with 0.25 mM of PPT. Root nodules were harvested at 4, 8 and 24 hours after PPT application. As a control, root nodules collected just before PPT application were used (PPT 0h). Three biological replicates consisting of pools of root nodules harvested from five distinct plants were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix GeneChips.

Project description:We have used deep sequencing of small RNAs from nodules and root apexes of the model legume Medicago truncatula, to identify 113 novel candidate miRNAs. These miRNAs (legume or Mt-specific) are encoded by 278 putative hairpin precursors in the M. truncatula genome. Several miRNAs are differentially expressed in nodules and root tips and large variety of targets could be predicted for these genes. Specific miRNA isoforms showed contrasting expression patterns in these tissues Keywords: Transcriptome analysis

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.
