Project description:Appropriate soil nutrient management is critical for modern Canola (Brassica napus L.) varieties and hybrids to meet their yield potentials. Canola fields are typically supplemented by the application of nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur, and to a lesser extent, potassium fertilizers to maximize yield, while deficiency in these key macronutrients can result in severe growth phenotypes and significant yield losses. To date, our understanding of canola nutrient deficiency responses is disparate, encompassing a large number of varieties using a variety of technologies and assessment criteria, with seminal understanding of the overlaps between nutrient deficiencies responses, having not yet been defined, placing limitations on our ability to increase the nutrient efficiency of this critical oil seed. To address this, we performed a comparative quantitative proteomics analysis of both shoot and root tissue harvested from soil-grown Canola plants experiencing either nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, or sulphur deficiency. Our results show intriguing similarities in plant responses to deficiency in multiple nutrients. We also find very distinct proteome-level changes between shoot and root tissue of plants experiencing nutrient stress, suggesting the presence of highly organ-specific responses to nutrient deficiency. Our results pave the way for a more comprehensive understanding of the shared and distinct response mechanisms of plants to multiple essential nutrients.

Project description:Clubroot of Brassicaceae, an economically important soil borne disease, is caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, an obligate, biotrophic protist. This disease poses a serious threat to canola and related crops in Canada and around the globe causing significant loss to seed yield. The pathogen is continuously evolving and new pathotypes are emerging, this necessitates the development of novel resistant canola cultivars to manage the disease effectively. Given that proteins play a crucial role in majority of biological processes and molecular functions, the identification of differentially abundant proteins (DAP) using proteomics information is an attractive approach to understand the plant-pathogen interactions as well as in the future development of gene specific markers for developing clubroot resistant (CR) cultivars. In this study, P. brassicae pathotype 3 (P3H) was used to challenge CR and clubroot susceptible (CS) canola lines. Root samples were collected at three distinct stages of pathogenesis, 7-, 14-, and 21-days post inoculation (DPI), protein samples were isolated, digested with trypsin and subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis. A total of 937 proteins demonstrated a significant (q < 0.05) change in abundance in at least in one of the time points when compared between control and inoculated CR-parent, CR-progeny, CS-parent, CS-progeny and 784 proteins were significantly (q < 0.05) changed in abundance in at least in one of the time points when compared between the inoculated- CR and CS root proteomes of parent and progeny across the three time points tested. Functional annotation of the differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) revealed several proteins related to calcium dependent signaling pathways in response to the pathogen. In addition, proteins related to reactive oxygen species (ROS) biochemistry, dehydrins, lignin, thaumatin, and phytohormones were identified. Among the DAPs, 74 putative proteins orthologous to CR proteins and quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with eight CR loci in four chromosomes including chromosomes A3 and A8 were identified. In conclusion, these results have contributed to an improved understanding of the mechanisms that are involved in mediating response to P. brassicae in canola at the protein level.
