Project description:Hybrid chlorosis, one of the hybrid incompatibilities, has frequently been reported in inter- and intraspecific crosses of allopolyploid wheat. In our previous study, hybrid chlorosis was observed in the wheat triploids between a tetraploid wheat cultivar Langdon and four Ae. tauschii accessions and in their derived synthetic hexaploids. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying hybrid chlorosis are not well understood. Here, we performed cytological and comparative gene expression analyses in leaves to characterize the abnormal growth in wheat synthetics showing mild and severe chlorosis symptom. In addition, disease resistance was comparatively assessed. A number of carbohydrate metabolism- and defense-related genes were markedly up-regulated in the hybrid chlorosis lines, and abnormal chloroplasts were formed in the mesophyll cells before the leaves turned to be yellowish. The mild chlorosis plants showed increased resistance to a wheat blast fungus, although little significant differences of agricultural traits were found between the wild-type and mild chlorosis-showing plants. These observations suggest that the senescence processes might be accelerated in the hybrid chlorosis lines of wheat synthetics. Moreover, the negative effects on biomass can be minimized and the substantial fitness may be obtained under pathogen-polluted conditions in the mild chlorosis-showing wheat synthetics. Expression patterns were compared between a wild-type synthetic wheat line (as a reference) and two hybrid chlorosis-showing hybrid chlorosis lines. Total RNA samples were isolated from the 3-week-old leaf tissues. Two independent experiments were conducted in each line.

Project description:The microbiota of the mouth disperses into the lungs and both compartments share similar phyla. Considering the importance of the microbiota in the maturation of the immunity and physiology during the first days of life, we hypothesized that primo-colonizing bacteria of the oral cavity may induce immune responses in bronchial epithelial cells. Herein, we have isolated and characterized 57 strains of the buccal cavity of two human new-borns. These strains belong to Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, Rothia and Pantoea genera; Streptococcus being the most represented. The strains were co-incubated with a bronchial epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B) and we established their impact on a panel of cytokines/chemokines and global changes in gene expression. The Staphylococcus strains, which appeared soon after birth, induced a high production of IL-8, suggesting they can trigger inflammation, whereas the Streptococcus strains were less associated with inflammation pathways. The genera Streptococcus, Enterococcus and Pantoea induced differential profiles of cytokine/chemokine/growth factor and set of genes associated with maturation of morphology. Altogether, our results demonstrate that the micro-organisms, primo-colonizing the oral cavity, impact immunity and morphology of the lung epithelial cells, with specific effects depending on the phylogeny of the strains.

Project description:Pantoea sp. YR343, isolated from the Populus deltoides rhizosphere, is a robust plant root colonizer that produces indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Genomic and metabolomic analyses predicted that Pantoea sp. YR343 synthesizes IAA primarily using the indole-3-pyruvate pathway. Pantoea sp. YR343 proteomes showed upregulation of IpdC for growth in the presence of tryptophan or IAA versus controls.
Project description:Soybean near-isogenic lines (NILs) differing in iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) tolerance were genotyped to determine differential genetic introgressions from the donor line T203 into the Clark background. The CGH comparison reveals T203 loci that are differentially introgressed between the IsoClark sub-lines.
Project description:Subgroup Ib BHLH genes are induced by Fe deficiency. BHLH038 and BHLH039 were shown to be connected with salicylic acid. The triple knockout 3xbhlh (bhlh039-1 bhlh100-1 bhlh101-1) shows a stronger leaf chlorosis at - Fe than the wild type. The responses of this triple mutant were studied at - Fe in comparison to the wild type in the presence and absence of salicylic acid (SA).
Project description:Plant hormones and small secretory peptides often function as environmental stress mediators. Some recent reports indicate that small secretory peptides, such as CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION-RELATED (CLE), also function as mediators of environmental stimuli. CLE2 is induced in roots by light depriviation. Plants without functional CLE2 showed a chlorosis phenotype when grown under shade. Here, we identified specific genes downstream of CLE2 in roots and shoots with transformed Arabidopsis plants.
