Developing probabilistic graphical models and analysis software to integrate multi-omics data

ABSTRACT: We are requesting the polar metabolomics analysis from a high-resolution time series experiment to develop probabilistic graphical models of bacterial-fungal-plant interactions. The experiment exposed resistant (line H7996) and susceptible (line FL8000) tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) to the select agent soil pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum (RS5) which is responsible for Bacterial Wilt. R. solanacearum infects plants through root wounds and colonizes vascular tissues. The pathogen rapidly multiplies and clogs the xylem vessels causing the infected plant to quickly wilt and die. Exopolysaccharides from R. solanacearum activate salicylic acid (SA) pathways in the resistant plants, but not in susceptible plants (Mansfield et al., 2012; Milling et al., 2011). A recent study suggested the microbiome plays a role in host susceptibility (Kwak et al., 2018). The system is being used as a model for developing new techniques in modeling bacterial-fungal-plant interactions and developing statistical methods to engineer microbial consortia from these graphical models.

E-mail: staceyg@missouri.edu; Abstract: Chitin, a polymer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, is found in fungal cell walls, but not in plants. Plant cells are capable of perceiving chitin fragments (chitooligosaccharides) to trigger various defense responses. We identified a LysM receptor-like protein (AtLysM RLK1) that is required for the perception of chitooligosaccharides in Arabidopsis. Mutation of this gene blocked the induction of almost all chitooligosaccharide-responsive genes (CRGs) and led to more susceptibility to fungal pathogens, but not to a bacterial pathogen. In addition, exogenously applied chitooligosaccharides enhanced resistance against both fungal and bacterial pathogens in the wild-type plants, but not in the mutant. Together, our data strongly suggest AtLysM RLK1 is the chitin receptor or a key part of the receptor complex and chitin is a PAMP (pathogen-associated molecular pattern) in fungi recognized by the receptor leading to the induction of plant innate immunity against fungal pathogens. Since LysM RLKs were also recently shown to be critical for the perception of the rhizobial lipo-chitin Nod signals, our data suggest that LysM RLKs not just recognize friendly symbiotic rhizobia (via their lipo-chitin Nod signals), but also hostile fungal pathogens (via their cell wall chitin). These data suggest a possible evolutionary relationship between the perception mechanisms of Nod signals and chitin by plants. Experiment Overall Design: wild type Col-0 and chitin receptor mutants treated with or without chitooctaose

Project description:Bacteria in the genus Pantoea (family Enterobacteriales) are metabolically diverse, cosmopolitan, and form a wide range of interactions with eukaryotic hosts including plants, fungi, insects and humans. Several Pantoea species have pathogenic interactions with plants. Strains of at least four Pantoea species (P. ananatis, P. allii, P. stewartii subsp. indologenes and P. agglomerans) are known to cause onion center rot disease. P. ananatis is very unusual among characterized bacterial plant pathogens. Virulence factors that distinguish onion-virulent and non-virulent P. ananatis have only recently been described. Most bacterial plant pathogens are dependent on specialized virulence protein secretion systems for pathogenicity. However, to cause plant cell death, P. ananatis instead requires the HiVir (High Virulence) proposed secondary metabolite synthetic cluster for an as of yet undescribed phosphonate compound. P. allii is also pathogenic on onion but, surprisingly, lacks the HiVir gene cluster associated with onion-virulent P. ananatis. P. allii carries a completely distinct predicted phosphonate compound synthetic cluster which has, interestingly, also been identified in P. stewartiii subsp indologenes that have expanded their host range from millet onto onions. We obtained the cell pellet metabolite profiles of P. ananatis PNA 97-1, the P. allii type strain LMG 24248, and the two corresponding biosynthetic mutant strains lacking a key gene (pepM) for the synthesis of phosphonate compounds. Understanding the unique chemistry of onion-virulent Pantoea will yield important insights into novel frameworks for plant- pathogen interactions.
