Project description:To identify blast pathogen elicited miRNAs, four sRNA libraries were constructed: 8749036, A library, susceptible rice cultivar Zhonger-Ruanzhan; 12157795, B library, mock-treated blast resistant line H4; 9937360, C library, blast-treated susceptible rice cultivar Zhonger-Ruanzhan; and 11138187 clean reads, D library, blast-treated blast resistant line H4. The Short Oligonucleotide Analysis Package (SOAP; Beijing Genomics Institute) matched 85.46% (A, 7476714), 79.35% (B, 9647324), 77.70% (C, 7721715) and 76.10% (D, 8476386) sRNA reads to the genome. After removing other RNA categories matched to NCBI Genbank, Rfam database, known rice miRNA precursor, repeat associated RNA and siRNA, the remaining reads: 1681359(A); 3829741(B); 3182403(C); and 3970132(D), were used for further novel miRNA prediction. Since some miRNAs were tissue-specific, time-specific or stress-induced, only 291, 210, 164 and 220 registered miRNAs were identified in libraries A, B, C and D respectively. Thirty-one (A, 9385 reads), 399(B, 41024 read), 351(C, 36622 reads) and 333(D, 38064 reads) unique sRNAs were projected to be candidate miRNAs. Examination of mock-treated rice cultivar, mock-treated blast resistant rice line H4, blast-treated susceptible rice cultivar, and blast-treated blast resistant rice line H4.
Project description:This project aims to analyze rice plasma membrane proteins related to resistance against rice blast infection. We extracted rice plasma membrane proteins before and after M.oryzae infection for 24h, and then used trypsin to digest and iTRAQ to label the peptides, HPLC-MS/MS was used to seperate and identify peptides. 1.1/0.909 fold change with p-value < 0.05 was used as threshold for differentially expressed proteins. 2,977 proteins were identified and 951 of which were found to be responsive to resistance against M. oryzae. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis and protein interaction network showed that plenty of proteins were involved in vesicle trafficking with obvious functional tendencies towards transport, vesicle-mediated transport, secretion, endocytosis and phagosome. 10 DEPs were validated at transcript level, and a SNARE protein named NPSN (novel plant-specific SNARE)13 actively responded to M. oryzae infection, and it contributed to rice blast resistance and mainly located at PM.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that function as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression in eukaryotes. In rice, miR7695 targets an alternatively spliced transcript of natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 6 (OsNramp6) encoding an iron transporter whose expression is regulated by infection with the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. Rice plants grown under high iron supply showed blast resistance, which supports that iron is a factor in controlling blast resistance by still unknown mechanisms. Here, iron accumulated near M. oryzae appressoria, the sites of pathogen entry, and in cells surrounding infected regions of the rice leaf. Activation-tagged MIR7695 rice plants (MIR7695-Ac) exhibited enhanced resistance to M. oryzae infection. RNA-seq analysis revealed that blast resistance in MIR7695-Ac plants was associated with strong induction of defense-related genes, including pathogenesis-related and diterpenoid biosynthetic genes. Levels of phytoalexins during pathogen infection were higher in MIR7695-Ac than wild-type plants. Early phytoalexin biosynthetic genes, OsCPS2 and OsCSP4, were highly upregulated in rice plants grown under high iron supply. Our data indicate that miR7695 positively regulates rice immunity while establishing links between defense and iron signaling in rice. MiR7695-mediated regulation of OsNramp6 has great potential for the development of strategies to control rice 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.
Project description:NPR1 is a central positive regulator of salicylic-acid (SA)-mediated defense signaling in Arabidopsis. Here, we report characterization of OsNPR1, an Oryzae sativa (rice) ortholog of NPR1, focusing on its role in blast disease resistance and identification of OsNPR1-regulated genes followed by their comparison with NPR1-regulated genes in Arabidopsis. Blast resistance tests using OsNPR1–knockdown and –overexpressing rice lines indicated that OsNPR1 plays an essential role in benzothiadiazole-induced blast resistance. Genome-wide transcript profiling using OsNPR1–knockdown lines revealed that 358 genes out of 1,228 BTH-upregulated genes and 724 genes out of 1,069 BTH-downregulated genes were OsNPR1 dependent with respect to their BTH responsiveness, indicating that OsNPR1 plays a major role in the downregulation. Inspection of OsNPR1-dependent genes revealed that many genes involved in photosynthesis and chloroplastic translation and transcription were downregulated by BTH in an OsNPR1 dependent manner, indicating that photosynthesis and chloroplast activities is coordinately suppressed by OsNPR1 in response to BTH-induced activation of SA-signaling pathway. ABA-responsive genes were also OsNPR1-dependently downregulated, suggesting antagonistic interaction of SA signaling on ABA signaling. None of 11 BTH-upregulated genes for WRKY transcription factors was OsNPR1 dependent, whereas most of those are NPR1-dependently upregulated in Arabidopsis, indicating that the role of OsNPR1 is distinct from that of NPR1 in Arabidopsis. We discuss the significance of OsNPR1-regulated gene expression in SA-regulated defense program and the role of OsNPR1 in rice SA-signaling pathway that is branched to OsNPR1- and rice WRKY45-dependent sub-pathways. mock-treated wild-type (Nipponbare) rice, benzothiadiazole (BTH)-treated wild-type rice, mock-treated WRKY45-knockdown rice (2 lines) and BTH-treated WRKY45-knockdown rice (2 lines) were analyzed in four biological replicates.
