Network analysis combining proteomics and metabolomics reveals new insights into early responses of Eucalyptus grandis during rust infection.

ABSTRACT: Eucalyptus rust is caused by the biotrophic fungus, Austropuccinia psidii, which affects commercial plantations of Eucalyptus, a major raw material for the pulp and paper industry in Brazil. Aiming to uncover the molecular mechanisms involved in rust resistance and susceptibility in Eucalyptus grandis, we used epifluorescence microscopy to follow the fungus development inside the leaves of two contrasting half-sibling genotypes (rust-resistance and rust-susceptible), to determine the time-course for comparative metabolomic and proteomic analyses in plantlets artificially inoculated with rust. Within 24 hours of complete fungal invasion, a total of 709 plant metabolites showed that the rust-resistant genotype suppressed many metabolites 6 hours after inoculation (hai), with responses being progressively induced after 12 hai. In contrast, the rust-susceptible genotype displayed an alternated metabolite response to infection, which culminated in a strong suppression at 24 hai. Multivariate analyses of genotypes and time points were used to select 16 differential metabolites chemically classified as flavonoids, benzenoids and other compounds. Applying the Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), rust-resistant and rust-susceptible genotypes had, respectively, 871 and 852 proteins grouped into 14 and 13 modules, of which 10 and 7 protein modules were significantly correlated to the selected metabolites. Functional analyses revealed roles for oxidative-dependent responses leading to temporal activity of metabolites and proteins after 12 hai in rust-resistance, while the initial over-accumulation of metabolites and correlated proteins caused a lack of progressive response after 12 hai in rust-susceptible genotype. This study provides a brief understand on the temporal divergences of resistant and susceptible molecular responses of E. grandis plants to rust.

Project description:Background: Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress factor that limit agricultural productivity worldwide, and this problem is expected to grow in the future. Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important protein source in developing countries is highly susceptible to salt stress. To understand the underlying mechanism of salt stress responses, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and ion content analysis were utilized for response comparison of salt-tolerant and salt-susceptible common bean genotypes in saline conditions. Results: Transcriptome analysis has revealed that the tolerant genotype had increased photosynthesis in saline conditions while the susceptible genotype acted in a contrasting way. The chlorophyll content measurements have backed up this result with increase in tolerant and decrease in susceptible genotype. Transcriptome also displayed a more active carbon and amino acid metabolism for the tolerant genotype as well. Analysis of primary metabolites with GC-MS demonstrated the boosted carbohydrate metabolism in the tolerant genotype with increased sugar content as well as better amino-acid metabolism with the accumulation of glutamate and asparagine and hinted a lowered photorespiration level for the tolerant one. Accumulation of lysine, valine, and isoleucine in the roots of the susceptible genotype suggested a halted stress response pathway. According to ion content comparison, the tolerant genotype managed to block accumulation of Na+ in the leaves while accumulating significantly less Na+ in the roots compared to susceptible genotype. K+ levels increased in the leaves of both genotype and the roots of the susceptible one but dropped in the roots of the tolerant genotype. Additionally, Zn+2 and Mn+2 levels were also dropped in the tolerant roots, while Mo+2 levels were significantly higher in all tissues in both control and saline conditions for tolerant genotype. Conclusion:The results of the presented study have demonstrated the differences in contrasting genotypes and thus provide valuable information on the pivotal molecular mechanisms underlying salt tolerance mainly in common bean, but for all crops.
