Root phenolics as potential drivers of preformed defenses and reduced disease susceptibility in a paradigm bread wheat mixture

ABSTRACT: Plant-plant interactions modulate foliar disease susceptibility in intraspecific mixtures. However, the molecular events including signals and responses underlying the reduction in disease susceptibility remain largely unexplored. Here, we developed an experimental system that can abolish root-mediated interactions between plants in a model of bread wheat varietal mixture. We then performed transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to uncover the molecular responses linked to decreased susceptibility to Septoria tritici blotch in plant-plant interactions. Our analysis revealed that disrupting root chemical interactions impaired the reduction in susceptibility to Septoria and identified phenolic compounds as potential key mediators. The plant-plant interactions under study triggered significant molecular changes in specialized metabolism, biotic interactions, transporters, and responses to resources. Disrupting root interactions canceled both the macroscopic and molecular responses, thus providing a strong link between them. These insights provide a deeper understanding of the molecular basis of plant-plant interactions and the processes involved in reducing disease susceptibility in intraspecific mixtures.

Early root-root interactions weaken foliar defense responses against Septoria tritici blotch in a durum wheat varietal mixture

Project description:The interactions between co-cultivated plant cultivars are increasingly recognized as influencing their susceptibility to pathogens in mixtures. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Using a model of durum wheat cultivar mixtures where susceptibility to Septoria foliar disease is increased, we combined aerial and root phenotyping with transcriptional analyses and untargeted metabolomics to elucidate the potential signaling cascade driving this modulation of susceptibility. We observed contrasting root architectures between cultivars in mixture. Molecular analysis showed a delayed induction of defense-related genes and metabolites following pathogen inoculation in plants grown in mixture compared to pure stand. The findings suggest that root architecture potentially triggers a competitive response that could delay the induction of defense responses following pathogen inoculation. Altogether, these results point to a possible interplay between root architecture, resource competition, plant metabolism, and defense modulation in shaping plant-pathogen interactions within varietal mixtures.

Intraspecific competition drives orthogonal variation in root exudate metabolic and functional traits in a dominant plant species’ seedlings

Project description:1. Classical plant functional traits, often limited by intercorrelation and incomplete capture of dynamic variation, are insufficient for fully predicting ecological responses to environmental change. Quantifying independent functional dimensions, particularly those reflecting molecular and biochemical processes, is therefore essential for a comprehensive understanding of plant ecology.2. We adapted the well-established community-weighted mean (CWM) concept from ecology to metabolomic data, developing a framework to quantify metabolic functional traits based on the intrinsic chemical properties of metabolites. We applied this framework to root exudate metabolomics of Haloxylon ammodendron seedlings undergoing intraspecific competition.3. Our results show that intraspecific competition significantly altered the root exudate metabolome composition. We characterized the chemical space of identified metabolites using molecular descriptors, revealing three core dimensions of variation: molecular size/hydrogen bonding, acidity/structural complexity, and hydrophobicity/saturation. Plant metabolic functional traits, quantified as CWMs of these chemical properties, varied significantly with competitive interaction, exhibiting distinct adaptive patterns across treatments, ranging from investment in defense/allelopathy to nutrient mobilization or aggressive nutrient acquisition. Crucially, correlation analyses showed no significant relationship between metabolic CWMs and classical traits, and integrated PCA further revealed their orthogonal separation in multivariate space.4. Synthesis: These findings demonstrate that metabolic CWMs represent a novel, independent functional dimension. This highlights the power and potential of integrating molecular-level functional traits to enhance our understanding of plant ecological strategies and phenotypic plasticity, particularly in capturing intraspecific variation.

Genome-wide shifts in histone modification patterns at early stage of rice infection with root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola

Project description:There is mounting evidence for the role of epigenetic processes in the regulation of plant responses to a wide range of external stimuli. Despite their importance, the significance of epigenetic processes in plant-pathogen interactions remain poorly understood. So far, the role of histone modifications has not been investigated at genome wide level in plant-nematode interactions, although their expression levels are altered in nematode-induced galls. In this study, we first applied chemical inhibitors of histone modifying enzymes on rice plants. Despite theirdistinct effects on histone modifications, application of different concentrations of Niconinamide, sulfamethazine and fumaric acid lead to reduced susceptibility to nematode infection. Similarly, two overexpression lines of histone lysine methyltransferases and one histone deacetylase were analyzed in an infection assay with nematodes, showing contrasting results in susceptibility. These data indicate that histone modifications can affect plant defence against nematodes in rice. To further investigate their effect, the genome-wide level of three histone marks namely H3K9ac, H3K9me2 and H3K27me3 was studied by chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-sequencing on nematode-induced galls in comparison with control root tips.

Transcriptome profiling of Pythium graminicola-inoculated rice roots.

Project description:Contrary to the relative wealth of information regarding pathogen defense responses in aboveground plant parts, little is known about the mechanistic basis and regulation of plant immunity in root tissues. Aiming to further our fundamental understanding of root immune responses, we have investigated the interaction between rice and one of its major root pathogens, the oomycete Pythium graminicola. The specificic objectives of this study were twofold: i) to disentangle the molecular and genetic basis of the rice-Pythium interaction by comparing the transcriptome of rice roots at different times after inoculation with a highly virulent Pythium strains, and ii) to offer fundamental insights into the genetic architecture and regulation of rice disease resistance pathways operative in root tissue and to identify the molecular players controlling the possible nodes of convergence between these resistance conduits

Below ground attack by root knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola predisposes rice to blast disease

Project description:Magnaporthe oryzae (rice blast) and the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola are causing two of the most important pathogenic diseases jeopardizing rice production. Here, we show that root-knot nematode infestation on rice roots leads to important above-ground changes in plant immunity gene expression, which is correlated with significantly enhanced susceptibility to blast disease.

Nitrogen fertilizer reduces salicylic acid-mediated immunity by activating gibberellin signaling in rice

Project description:The environment plays important role in the interaction between plant hosts and pathogens. The application of chemical fertilizer is a crucial breeding technology to enhance crop yield since last century. As the most abundant fertilizer, nitrogen often increases disease susceptibility for crop plants. The underlying mechanism for nitrogen induced disease susceptibility is elusive. Here we found that nitrogen application activate gibberellin signaling by degradation of SLR1, the repressor protein in gibberellin signaling, which result in simultaneously promoting plant growth and disease susceptibility. SLR1, physically interacts with OsNPR1 and consequently facilitate OsNPR1 mediated defense responses. Transcriptome analysis showed that OsNPR1-SLR1 module plays a vital role in transcriptional reprogramming for both disease resistance and plant growth. Increase of SLR1 protein level in gibberellin deficient rice plants neutralizes disease susceptibility but sacrifice yield enhancement under high nitrogen supply. Mutation in SD1, encoding OsGA2ox2, produced more grains than WT，and maintains disease resistance under high nitrogen supply. Taken together, our work reveals the molecular mechanism underlying nitrogen-induced disease susceptibility, and demonstrates that the application of sd1 rice varieties prevent the tradeoff between disease susceptibility and yield increase under high nitrogen supply.
