Project description:The study of orchid mycorrhizal interactions is particularly complex because of the peculiar life cycle of these plants and their diverse trophic strategies. Here, large-scale transcriptomics has been applied to investigate gene expression in the mycorrhizal roots of the terrestrial mixotrophic orchid Limodorum abortivum under natural conditions. Our results provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying plant-fungus interactions in orchids and in particular on the plant responses to the mycorrhizal symbiont(s) in adult roots. Comparison with gene expression in mycorrhizal roots of another orchid species, Oeceoclades maculata, suggests that amino acids may represent the main nitrogen source in both protocorms and adult orchids, at least for mixotrophic species. The upregulation, in mycorrhizal L. abortivum roots, of some symbiotic molecular marker genes identified in mycorrhizal roots from other orchids as well as in arbuscular mycorrhiza, suggests a common plant core of genes in endomycorrhizal symbioses. Further efforts will be required to understand whether the specificities of orchid mycorrhiza depend on fine-tuned regulation of these common components, or whether specific additional genes are involved.

Project description:The recent release of a large number of genomes from ectomycorrhizal, orchid mycorrhizal and root endophytic fungi have provided deep insight into fungal lifestyle-associated genomic adaptation. Comparative analyses of symbiotic fungal taxa showed that similar outcomes of interactions in distant related root symbioses are examples of convergent evolution. The order Sebacinales represents a sister group to the Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota) that is comprised of ectomycorrhizal, ericoid-, orchid- mycorrhizal, root endophytic fungi and saprotrophs (Oberwinkler et al., 2013). Sebacinoid taxa are widely distributed from arctic to temperate to tropical ecosystems and are among the most common and species-rich groups of ECM, OM and endophytic fungi (Tedersoo et al., 2012, Tedersoo et al., 2010, Oberwinkler et al., 2013). The root endophyte Piriformospora indica and the orchid mycorrhizal fungus S. vermifera (MAFF 305830) are non-obligate root symbionts which were shown to be able to interact with many different experimental hosts, including the non-mycorrhizal plant Arabidopsis thaliana. These two fungi display similar colonization strategies in barley and in Arabidopsis and the ability to establish beneficial interactions with different hosts (Deshmukh et al., 2006). Colonization of the roots by P. indica and S. vermifera results in enhanced seed germination and biomass production as well as increased resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses in its experimental hosts, including various members of the Brassicaceae family, barley, Nicotiana attenuata and switchgrass (Ghimire, 2011, Ghimire et al., 2009, Ghimire et al., 2011, Waller et al., 2008, Barazani et al., 2007, Deshmukh et al., 2006). Microarray experiments were performed to identify and characterize conserved sebacinoid genes as key determinants in the Sebacinales symbioses.

Project description:ASH-1 orthologs are H3K36-specific methyltransferases that are conserved from fungi to humans but are poorly understood, in part because they are typically essential for viability. Here we examine the H3K36 methylation pathway of Neurospora crassa, which we find has just two H3K36 methyltransferases, ASH-1 and RNA polymerase II-associated SET-2. Our investigation of the interplay between SET-2 and ASH-1 uncovered a regulatory mechanism connecting ASH-1-catalyzed H3K36 methylation to repression of poorly transcribed genes. Our findings provide new insight into ASH-1 function, H3K27me2/3 establishment, and repression at facultative heterochromatin.
