Metabolomics analysis identifies metabolites associated with systemic acquired resistance in Arabidopsis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a plant defense response that provides long-lasting, broad-spectrum pathogen resistance to uninfected distal leaves following an initial localized infection. However, little information is available on the molecular biological basis of SAR especially in uninfected distal leaves. METHODS: Here, we used two SAR-inducing pathogen to induce SAR in Arabidopsis, and a metabolomics approach based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS) technique was used to identify SAR-related metabolites in SAR-inducing pathogen infected local leaves and uninfected distal leaves. RESULTS: Multiple statistical analyses were used to identify differentially expressed metabolites. The result showed that primary metabolism and secondary metabolism were significantly altered in local leaves and distal leaves, including phenolic compounds, amino acids, nucleotides, organic acids and many other metabolites. CONCLUSIONS: The content of amino acids and phenolic compounds increased in distal leaves, suggesting their contribution to the establishment of SAR in distal leaves. In addition, 2’-hydroxy-4, 4’, 6’-trimethoxychalcone, phenylalanine and p-coumaric acid were identified as potential components which may play important roles both in basic resistance and SAR. This study provided a reference for understanding metabolic mechanism associated with SAR in Arabidopsis, which will be useful for further investigation of the molecular basis of SAR.

Project description:Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a plant defense response that provides long-lasting, broad-spectrum pathogen resistance to uninfected distal leaves following an initial localized infection. However, little information is available on the molecular biological basis of SAR especially in uninfected distal leaves. Here, we used two SAR-induced bacteria to induce SAR in Arabidopsis, a metabolomics approach based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS) technique was used to identify SAR-related metabolites in SAR-induced bacteria infected local leaves and distal leaves of locally SAR-induced bacteria infected plants. Multiple statistical analyses were used to identify differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs). The result showed primary metabolism and secondary metabolism were significantly altered in local leaves and distal leaves, including phenolic compounds, amino acids, nucleotides, organic acids and many other metabolites. Furthermore, the content of amino acids, phenolic compounds, coenzymes and its derivatives increased in distal leaves, suggesting these metabolites contributed to the establishment of SAR. In addition, 2’-hydroxy-4,4’,6’-trimethoxychalcone, phenylalanine and ethyl docosahexaenoate were identified as potential components which may play important role both in basic resistance and SAR. This study provided a reference for understanding metabolic mechanism associated with SAR in Arabidopsis, which will be useful for further investigation of the molecular basis of SAR.

Project description:Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) as a plant immune response improves immunity of distal tissue after local exposure to a pathogen. Stomata pores on leaf surfaces are formed by guard cells that recognize bacterial pathogens via pattern recognition receptors. We found that Arabidopsis thaliana plants that have been previously exposed to the pathogenic bacteria Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst) exhibit an altered stomatal response compared to control plants when systemic leaves are later exposed to the bacteria. Reduced stomatal apertures of SAR primed plants lead to decreases in the number of bacteria that enter the apoplastic space of the leaves. To examine how SAR affects molecular processes in guard cells of distal leaves, we collected Arabidopsis guard cell samples and extracted lipids, metabolites and proteins using a 3-in-1 method. Multi-omic results have revealed molecular components of SAR response specific to the functions of guard cells and roles of ROS and fatty acid signaling in guard cell SAR response. Additionally, our results show an increase in palmitic acid and its derivative 9-PAHSA in primed guard cells. Palmitic acid may play a role as an agonist to Flagellin Sensitive 2 (FLS2), which initiates stomatal closure upon perception of bacterial flagella. The improved understanding of how SAR immune signals affect stomatal movement and immunity can aid biotechnology and marker-based breeding of crops for enhanced disease resistance.

Project description:In the absence of adaptive immunity displayed by animals, plants respond locally to biotic challenge via inducible basal defense networks activated through recognition and response toconserved pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). In addition, immunity can be induced in tissues remote from infection sites via systemic acquired resistance (SAR), initiated following gene-for-gene recognition between plant resistance proteins and microbial effectors.The nature of the mobile signal and remotely activated networks responsible for establishing SAR remain unclear. Here we show that despite the absence of PAMP contact, systemically responding leaves rapidly activate a SAR transcriptional signature with strong similarity to local basal defense. Jasmonates have previously been implicated in systemic signalling in response to wounding and plant herbivory but not SAR. We present several lines of evidence that suggest jasmonates may also be central to SAR. Jasmonic acid (JA) rapidly accumulates in phloem exudates of leaves challenged with an avirulent strain of Pseudomonas syringae. In systemically responding leaves transcripts associated with jasmonate biosynthesis are upregulated and JA increases transiently. SAR can be mimicked by foliar JA application and is abrogated in mutants impaired in jasmonate synthesis or response. We conclude that, jasmonate signalling appears to mediate long-distance information transmission. Moreover, the systemic transcriptional response shares extraordinary overlap with local herbivory and wounding responses, indicating that jasmonates may be central to an evolutionarily conserved signalling network, which decodes multiple abiotic and biotic stress signals.

Project description:After localized invasion by bacterial pathogens, systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is induced in uninfected plant tissues, resulting in enhanced defense against a broad range of pathogens. Although SAR requires mobilization of signaling molecules via the plant vasculature, the specific mechanisms remain elusive. The lipid transfer protein-defective in induced resistance 1-1 (DIR1-1) was identified in Arabidopsis thaliana by screening for mutants that were defective in SAR. Since then, the structure and lipid-binding properties of DIR1 have been determined, showing that its barrel structure can bind two, long-chain fatty-acid molecules. Several SAR mobile signals, including dehydroabietinal (DA), azelaic acid (AzA), and glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) are dependent on DIR1 for transport to systemic leaves. Closure of stomata, controlled by guard cells, is a local response to bacteria. Here we demonstrate that stomatal response to pathogens is altered in systemic leaves by SAR, and this guard cell SAR defense requires DIR1. Using a multi-omics approach, we have determined potential SAR signaling mechanisms specific for guard cells in systemic leaves by profiling metabolite, lipid, and protein differences between guard cells in wild type and dir1-1 mutant during SAR. We identified two 18C fatty actyls and two 16C wax esters as putative SAR-related molecules dependent on DIR1. Proteins and metabolites related to amino acid biosynthesis and response to stimulus were altered in guard cells of dir1-1 compared to wild type. Identification of guard cell-specific SAR-related molecules will lead to new avenues of genetic modifications/molecular breeding for disease resistant plants.

Project description:The goal of these studies is analysis of gene expression profiles in potato plants infected with potato virus Y (necrotic strain - PVYN). A prototypic plant pathogen interaction system used to study disease resistance is tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). In tobacco, the resistance response comprises two phenomena, known as the hypersensitive response (HR) and systemic acquired resistance (SAR). HR is typically characterized by a local necrosis surrounding the site of viral entry leading to restriction of pathogen replication and spread. SAR is the enhanced ability of the plant to resist a secondary challenge by the same or a different pathogen inoculated elsewhere on the plant. The identity of the signal(s) that induces HR and SAR is still poorly understood. Plants of S. tuberosum cv. Rywal, resistant to all known (N, 0, NTN) PVY strains, were grown in growth chambers using 16 h period of light (22°C) and 8 h of darkness (18°C). For all experiments, 6-week-old plants were used. For inoculation with PVY, carborundum-dusted leaves were rubbed with water (mock control) or PVYN solution (1 µg ml-1). Two to four leaves were inoculated on each plant and harvested together at 1, 3, and 6 days post inoculation (dpi). Separately, noninoculated leaves were harvested at the same time points (upper leaves). The first time point (1 dpi) has been chosen to study the early stage of plant response before necrotic lesion formation. At 3 dpi necrotic lesions start to appear, and at 6 dpi necroses are fully developed which correlates with the maximum of salicylic acid increase in virus inoculated leaves.

Project description:Leaf-to-leaf, systemic immune signaling known as systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is poorly understood in monocotyledonous plants. Here, we characterize systemic immunity in barley (Hordeum vulgare) triggered after primary leaf infection with either Pseudomonas syringae pathovar japonica (Psj) or Xanthomonas translucens pathovar cerealis (Xtc). Both pathogens induced resistance in systemic, uninfected leaves against a subsequent challenge infection with Xtc. In contrast to SAR in Arabidopsis thaliana, systemic immunity in barley was not associated with NONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES1 or the local or systemic accumulation of salicylic acid (SA). Instead, we documented a moderate local but not systemic induction of abscisic acid (ABA) after infection of leaves with Psj. In contrast to SA or its functional analog benzothiadiazole, local applications of the jasmonic acid methyl ester or ABA triggered systemic immunity to Xtc. RNA-seq analysis of local and systemic transcript accumulation revealed unique gene expression changes in response to both Psj and Xtc and a clear separation of local from systemic responses. The systemic response appeared relatively modest and quantitative RT-PCR associated systemic immunity with the local and systemic induction of two WRKY and two ETHYLENE RESPONSIVE FACTOR-like transcription factors. Systemic immunity against Xtc was further associated with transcriptional changes after a secondary/systemic Xtc challenge infection; these changes were dependent on the primary treatment. Taken together, bacteria-induced systemic immunity in barley may be mediated in part by WRKY and ERF-like transcription factors possibly facilitating transcriptional reprogramming to potentiate immunity.

Project description:We investigated the relationships of the two immune-regulatory plant metabolites salicylic acid (SA) and pipecolic acid (Pip) in the establishment of plant systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in Arabidopsis thaliana induced by the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. To characterize the transcriptional SAR response, we used wild-type Col-0 plants, SA-deficient sid2 plants and Pip-deficient ald1 plants and performed RNA-sequencing analyses (Bernsdorff et al., Plant Cell, 2016). SAR establishment in the wild-type is characterized by a strong transcriptional response systemically induced in the foliage that prepares plants for future pathogen attack by pre-activating multiple stages of defense signaling. Whereas systemic Pip elevations are indispensable for SAR and necessary for virtually the whole transcriptional SAR response, a moderate but significant SA-independent component of SAR activation and SAR gene expression is revealed. Arabidopsis thaliana plants were grown individually in pots containing a mixture of soil, vermiculite and sand (8:1:1) in a controlled cultivation chamber with a 10-h day (9 AM to 7 PM; photon flux density 100 mol m-2 s-1) / 14-h night cycle and a relative humidity of 70 %. Day and night temperatures were set to 21C and 18C, respectively. Experiments were performed with 5- to 6-week-old, naive plants exhibiting a uniform appearance. To activate SAR, plants were infiltrated between 10 AM and 12 AM into three lower (1) leaves with suspensions of the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola (OD600 = 0.005). Infiltration with 10 mM MgCl2 served as the mock-control treatment. Upper (2) leaves were harvested 48 h after the primary treatment for the determination of systemic gene expression by RNA-seq analyses. Three biologically independent, replicate SAR induction experiments were performed with Col-0 and sid2 plants (experimental set 1), and three other biologically independent experiments with Col-0 and ald1 plants (experimental set 2). In each SAR experiment, at least 6 upper (2) leaves from 6 different plants pre-treated in 1 leaves with Psm (MgCl2) were pooled for one biological Psm- (mock-control) replicate. In this way, 3 biologically independent, replicate samples per treatment and plant genotype were obtained within each SAR set.
