Project description:Down-regulation of reactive oxygen species build-up in chloroplasts by expression of a plastid-targeted flavodoxin protects potato leaves under drought conditions. To better understand these effects we compared the transcriptomic alterations in a pre-symtomatic stage of drought treatment on leaves of Fld-expressing potato plants and their wild-type siblings.
Project description:Potato virus YNTN (PVYNTN) is one of the most devastating potato virus causing great losses in the potato production industry. PVYNTN induces severe symptoms on inoculated leaves and a disease known as potato tuber necrosis ringspot disease (PTNRD) develops on tubers. Closely related PVYN isolate induces only mild symptoms on inoculated potato leaves and no symptoms on tubers. The early response of sensitive potato cvs. Igor and Nadine to inoculation with PVYNTN and PVYN was analysed allowing identification of genes involved in severe symptoms induction. Microarray and quantitative-PCR analysis was carried out to identify differentially expressed genes after inoculation with both virus isolates. Two distinct groups of genes were shown to have a role in severe symptoms development – one group of genes related to energy production and a second group of genes connected with virus spread. Earlier accumulation of sugars and decrease in photosynthesis was observed in leaves inoculated with aggressive PVYNTN isolate than in leaves inoculated with milder PVYN isolate. PVYNTN isolate was shown not to activate differential expression of antioxidant metabolism and pectinmethylesterase inhibitor (PMEI) leading to a delay in plant response and on the other hand it limited callose deposition enabling faster virus spread through the plant.
Project description:The general aim was to better understand the role of StTGA2.1 in plant immunity by transcriptional profiling of plants overexpressing the salicylic acid pathwas related TGA transcription factor StTGA2.1 after infection with potato virus Y (PVY). Potato non-transgenic cultivar Rywal (NT), Rywal-NahG (NahG), a transgenic line unable to accumulate SA due to salicylate hydroxylase expression, and a transgenic Rywal-NahG line inducibly overexpressing StTGA2.1 (TGA2.1-NahG) using the glucocorticoid-system, in which target gene expression can be controlled by external application of dexamethasone (DEX), were used. The leaves of three plants per genotype were infected with either PVY or mock-inoculum and subsequently treated with DEX. Additionally, three TGA2.1-NahG PVY-infected or mock-inoculated plants were not treated with DEX as control. After four days, PVY infection symtoms appeared as small regions of necrotic tissue called lesions. Tissue sections, containing lesions and their immediate surrounding area, were sampled, allowing us to focus on PVY-affected cells. Total RNA was isolated, DNase treated and sent for library prep and high-throughput sequencing.
Project description:Six different Solanaceae species, Potato (Solanum tuberosum), Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum), Pepper (Capsicum annuum), Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), Petunia and Nicotiana benthamiana were grown at 25C, 16h light and 8h darkness. Mature leaves were harvested after 4-6 weeks. RNA was isolated using Qiagen RNeasy. Tomato, pepper, petunia tobacco and N. benthamiana samples were hybridized against potato samples.

Project description:In this study, integrated transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics approaches were applied to investigate the molecular responses of O3 in the leaves of two-weeks old rice (cv. Nipponbare) seedlings exposed to 0.2 ppm O3 for a period of 24 h. Based on the morphological alteration of O3-exposed rice leaves, transcript profiling of rice genes was performed in leaves exposed for 1, 12 and 24 h using rice DNA microarray chip, proteomics and metabolomics. This systematic survey showed that O3 triggers a chain reaction of altered gene, protein and metabolite expressions involved in multiple cellular processes in rice. Also investigated were the molecular responses in the leaves of two-weeks old rice (cv. Nipponbare) seedlings under continuous light and pure air (as a positive control for ozone exposure experiments) for a period of 24 h. Transcript profiling of rice genes was performed in leaves exposed for 1, 12 and 24 h using rice DNA microarray chip, proteomics and metabolomics. This systematic survey showed that continuous light and growth for 24 h also triggers a chain reaction of altered gene expressions involved in multiple cellular processes in rice, but different from those against ozone, in general.

Project description:In this experiment we measured the transcriptional response of tomato plants (cv “Money maker”) when attacked belowground by the nematode M. inognita and, subsequently, aboveground by different (and common for this crop) biotic agents. Three weeks-old plants were exposed to nematodes for 5 days. At the fifth day the terminal leaflet of one of the first two true leaves was infected with the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus, or with the pathogen, or with the potato aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae, or with the CMV-infected M. euphorbiae. For each belowground/aboveground combination treatment a set of control plants that received only the aboveground treatment was prepared. The infected leaflets of 5 biological replicates, each consisting of 1 plant, were collected 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 days after the onset of the aboveground treatment and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. A different set of plants was used for every time point. Corresponding leaves from plants that did not receive any aboveground treatment (control) were selected and sampled as described above. Three biological replicates were selected among the five for RNA isolation. Total RNA was sent for sequencing to BGI Hong Kong.
Project description:Soil water deficit (WD) is one of the most important abiotic stresses affecting plant survival and crop yield. Despite its economic relevance, many gaps remain in our understanding of how crops respond to WD, especially concerning the synergistic coordination of molecular and ecophysiological adaptations delaying plant mortality. In this study, we investigated the gene expression imposed by a progressive WD and combined it with measurements pointing to key ecophysiological thresholds in leaves of tomato plants. We uncovered the transcriptomic changes in mature leaves at four stages defined by physiological markers relating to different WD intensities: partial stomatal closure, complete stomatal closure, after leaf wilting, and beginning of embolism development in the veins. By identifying key transcription factors (TFs) across these progressively worsening WD stages, we investigated the timing and impact of ABA-(in)dependent gene regulatory pathways during WD. In addition, we compared the transcriptome in young developing versus mature leaves and explored the physiological mechanisms that may explain the higher tolerance to dehydration in younger leaves. By correlating the transcriptomic changes to precise ecophysiological measurements, the combined dataset will serve as a framework for future studies comparing leaf molecular and physiological responses to WD at specific intensities.
Project description:In this experiment we aimed to decipher the transcription response of rice to the different cues of an herbivory attack from the chewing caterpillar Spodoptera frugiperda. We performed a herbivory mimic procedure on seedlings and applied mechanical wounding (WOS), application of herbivore oral secretions (OS) after wounding (WOS+) and dysbiotic OS (WOS-) on rice leaves. RNA was extracted from control and treated leaves after two hours. 5 biological replicates corresponding to 5 pooled leaves were performed for each of the four condition
