Project description:Background: The biological control agent Pseudomonas chlororaphis PA23 is effective at protecting Brassica napus (canola) from the necrotrophic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum via direct antagonism. Despite the growing importance of biocontrol bacteria in plant protection from fungal pathogens, little is known about how the host plant responds to bacterial priming on the leaf surface or about changes in gene activity genome-wide in the presence and absence of S. sclerotiorum. Results: PA23 priming of mature canola plants reduced the number of lesion forming petals by 90%. Global RNA sequencing of the host pathogen interface showed a reduction in the number of genes uniquely upregulated in response to S. sclerotiorum by 16-fold when pretreated with PA23. Upstream defense-related gene patterns suggest MAMP-triggered immunity via surface receptors detecting PA23 flagellin and peptidoglycans. Although systemic acquired resistance was induced in all treatment groups, a response centered around a glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P)-mediated pathway was exclusively observed in plants treated with PA23 alone. Activation of these defense mechanisms by PA23 involved mild reactive oxygen species production as well as pronounced thylakoid membrane structures and plastoglobule formation in leaf chloroplasts. Conclusion: Further to the direct antibiosis that it exhibits towards the pathogen S. sclerotiorum, PA23 primes defense responses in the plant through the induction of unique local and systemic defense regulatory networks. This study has shed light on the potential effects of biocontrol agents applied to the plant phyllosphere. Understanding these interactions will aid in the development of biocontrol systems as a viable alternative to chemical pesticides in the protection of important crop systems.

Project description:Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) are a growing subset of agricultural adjuncts which can be used to increase crop yield and plant productivity. Although, substantial research has been conducted on the metabolites and active molecules secreted by PGPBs; relatively little is known about their effects on the global transcriptome of the host plant. The present study was carried out to investigate changes in the gene expression landscape of early vegetative Brassica napus following treatment with Pseudomonas chlororaphis PA23. This PGPB was isolated from the soybean rhizosphere and has been extensively studied as a biocontrol agent. However, little is known about its effects on plant growth and development. Using a combination of RNA-sequencing and physiological analyses, we identified increased abundance of mRNA transcripts associated with photosynthesis and phytohormone response. Phenotypically we observed increased photosynthetic rates and larger root and shoot systems in B. napus following P. chlororaphis PA23 treatment. Lastly, we identified auxin production by P. chlororaphis PA23 which likely contributes to changes in gene expression and observed phenotypic differences in root and shoot structures. Together, the results of our study suggest that PA23 is a potent plant growth promoting agent with the potential for field applications as an agricultural adjunct.

Project description:The biocontrol agent Pseudomonas chlororaphis PA23 protects canola (Brassica napus) against infection by the necrotrophic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Production of PA23 secondary metabolites is governed by a complex regulatory pathway that includes the GacA/GacS two component system, the PhzI/PhzR quorum-sensing system, and a novel LysR-type transcriptional regulator, called PtrA. Through RNA-sequencing, transcriptomic profiles of PA23-WT, two quorum sensing-deficient strains, PA23-AHL and PA23-phzR, and regulatory mutants PA23-gacA, PA23-gacS and PA23-ptrA were generated allowing elucidation of the PhzRI, Gac and PtrA regulons of P. chlororaphis PA23.

Project description:The free-living soil fungus Trichoderma hamatum GD12 is notable amongst other Trichoderma strains in exhibiting both biocontrol and plant growth promotion (PGP) activities, which are coincident with a markedly expanded genome when compared to other characterised biocontrol and PGP isolates. Here, we make direct comparisons of T. hamatum GD12 transcription during PGP, and during antagonism of the root-infecting pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, in peat-based microcosms. An extensive mRNA-seq analysis sampling six time-points, 1, 2, 4, 7, 10 and 15 days after microcosm establishment revealed dynamic and biphasic signatures in the transcriptional responses of T. hamatum GD12 during Sclerotinia biocontrol and lettuce growth promotion. Functional analysis of differentially expressed genes demonstrated up-regulation of transportation and oxidation-reduction genes during both processes. Sclerotinia biocontrol is most likely mediated by the synthesis and secretion of antifungal compounds. Notably, the biphasic response during biocontrol was further characterised by the expression of a number of uncharacterised GD12 genes, small-secreted cysteine rich proteins and secondary metabolite producing gene clusters. This work demonstrates that T. hamatum GD12 harnesses a reservoir of uncharacterised genes that are actively engaged during effective biological control of a plurivorous plant pathogen.

Project description:Combination therapies can be a promising tool to augment the antifungal activity of azole drugs against resistant Candida species. Here, we report the interaction between aprepitant, an antiemetic agent, and azole drugs against different Candida species including the emerging multidrug-resistant C. auris. Particularly, aprepitant enhanced the antifungal activity of itraconazole against C. auris by reducing its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by 2-8 folds. Using Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo infection model, the aprepitant/itraconazole combination significantly prolonged the survival of the infected nematodes by ~90% and reduced the fungal burden by ~92% relative to the untreated control. Interestingly, the aprepitant/itraconazole combination exerted a potent fungicidal activity against both planktonic and adherent C. auris biofilms. Further, aprepitant/itraconazole displayed broad-spectrum synergistic interactions against other medically important Candida species including C. albicans, C. krusie, C. tropicalis, and C. parapsilosis (ƩFICI ranged from 0.08 to 031). Comparative transcriptomic profiling indicated aprepitant/itraconazole interferes significantly with metal ions homeostasis and compromises the ROS (reactive oxygen species) detoxification ability of C. auris. This study presents aprepitant as a novel, potent and broad-spectrum azole chemosensitizing agent that warrants further investigation.

Project description:Whole transcriptome sequencing of B. phytofirmans PsJN colonizing potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants was used to analyze in planta gene activity and in the response of strain PsJN to plant stress in three different time points. The transcriptome of PsJN colonizing in vitro potato plants showed a broad array of functionalities encoded on the genome of strain PsJN. Our study indicates that endophytic B. phytofirmans PsJN cells are active inside plants. Moreover, the activity of strain PsJN is affected by plant drought stress, it senses plant stress signals and adjusts its gene expression accordingly.

Project description:It has been performed a genome-wide analysis of gene expression of the root-colonizing bacterium Pseudomonas putida KT2440 in the rhizosphere of corn (Zea mays var. Girona. To identify reliable rhizosphere differentially expressed genes, rhizosphere populations of P. putida bacteria cells were compared with three alternative controls: i) planktonic cells growing exponentially in rich medium (LB), ii) planktonic cells in stationary phase in LB, and iii) sessile populations established in sand microcosms, under the same conditions used to grow inoculated corn plants.
