Project description:Plant pathogens can cause serious diseases that impact global agriculture. The plant innate immunity, when fully activated, can halt pathogen growth in plants. Despite extensive studies into the molecular and genetic bases of plant immunity against pathogens, the influence of plant immunity in global pathogen metabolism to restrict pathogen growth is poorly understood. Here, we developed RNA sequencing pipelines for analyzing bacterial transcriptomes in planta and determined high-resolution transcriptome patterns of the foliar bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae in Arabidopsis thaliana with a total of 27 combinations of plant immunity mutants and bacterial strains. Bacterial transcriptomes were analyzed at 6 h post infection to capture early effects of plant immunity on bacterial processes and to avoid secondary effects caused by different bacterial population densities in planta We identified specific "immune-responsive" bacterial genes and processes, including those that are activated in susceptible plants and suppressed by plant immune activation. Expression patterns of immune-responsive bacterial genes at the early time point were tightly linked to later bacterial growth levels in different host genotypes. Moreover, we found that a bacterial iron acquisition pathway is commonly suppressed by multiple plant immune-signaling pathways. Overexpression of a P. syringae sigma factor gene involved in iron regulation and other processes partially countered bacterial growth restriction during the plant immune response triggered by AvrRpt2. Collectively, this study defines the effects of plant immunity on the transcriptome of a bacterial pathogen and sheds light on the enigmatic mechanisms of bacterial growth inhibition during the plant immune response.

Project description:Understanding the gene regulation of plant pathogens is crucial for pest control and thus global food security. An integrated understanding of bacterial gene regulation in the host is dependent on multi-omic datasets, but these are largely lacking. Here, we simultaneously characterized the transcriptome and proteome of a bacterial pathogen in plants. We found a number of bacterial processes affected by plant immunity at the transcriptome and proteome levels. For instance, the salicylic acid-mediated plant immunity suppressed the accumulation of proteins comprising the tip component of bacterial type III secretion system. Interestingly, there were instances of concordant and discordant regulation of bacterial mRNAs and proteins. Gene co-expression analysis uncovered previously unknown gene regulatory modules underlying virulence. This study provides molecular insights into the multiple layers of gene regulation that contribute to bacterial growth in planta and elucidate the role of plant immunity in affecting pathogen responses.

Project description:Light is essential for plant development, but its influence on pathogen virulence and immunity remains poorly understood. Here, we found that the Pseudomonas syringae DC3000 type III effector, AvrPtoB, exhibits virulence exclusively upon light exposure. This light-dependent regulation is controlled by the Arabidopsis transcription factor ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5), a central regulator of photomorphogenesis. AvrPtoB targets HY5 in the nucleus, facilitating its ubiquitination and degradation. Genetic disruption of HY5 eliminates susceptibility to AvrPtoB and compromises plant immunity upon light exposure. HY5 enhances immunity by binding promoters of defense-related genes, activating their expression, and stabilizing the transcriptional coregulator NONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED (PR) GENES 1 (NPR1) by inhibiting its negative regulators NPR3/4. Both HY5-mediated immunity and light-dependent AvrPtoB virulence require NPR1. By contrast, during darkness, CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1)-mediated HY5 degradation suppresses AvrPtoB virulence and HY5-enhanced immunity. These findings elucidate a mechanism in which light modulates bacterial virulence and plant immunity via an HY5-NPR1 module, advancing our understanding of light-pathogen-host interactions.

Project description:Bacteriophages are increasingly recognised as key players in modulating plant-microbe interactions, including their potential in the biocontrol of plant pathogenic bacteria. In this study, we investigated the tripartite interaction between, Arabidopsis thaliana, the bacterial plant pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc), and the lytic phage Seregon. Using meta-transcriptomic profiling, we characterized host and pathogen responses during infection and phage treatment. While a single phage treatment did not lead to the eradication of Xcc, treatment with phage Seregon significantly mitigated Xcc-induced disease symptoms, restoring leaf growth to levels comparable to the uninfected control within 14 days post-inoculation. Our data revealed that phage-mediated protection is associated with early bacterial recognition and suppression of jasmonate (JA)-related responses in the host. Analysis of nuclear localized reporter plant cell lines further confirmed a significant reduction in ROS levels in phage-treated plants. Concurrently, Xcc exhibited significant transcriptional downregulation of key virulence factors in the presence of the phage, including the genes encoding the type III secretion system, its associated effectors, and components involved in flagella biosynthesis. Remarkably, phage treatment did not lead to a significant increase in bacterial resistance to phage infection, which is in stark contrast to in vitro conditions. Taken together, this study provides first mechanistic insight into how phages can be harnessed to shape plant-pathogen interactions and highlights their potential role in enhancing plant resilience through targeted modulation of both host immunity and pathogen behaviour.

Project description:Gene regulation of bacterial pathogens in the host is not comprehensively understood due to the difficulty in analyzing genome-wide mRNA and protein expression of bacteria during infection. Here, we jointly analyzed transcriptome and proteome of a foliar bacterial pathogen in plants. Bacterial transcriptome changes can explain to a large extent their proteome changes in resistant and susceptible plants. However, a part of bacterial type III secretion system was suppressed by plant immunity preferentially at the protein level. Also, gene co-expression analysis uncovered previously unknown gene regulatory modules underlying bacterial virulence. Collectively, integrated in planta bacterial omics provides molecular insights into multiple layers of bacterial gene regulation that contributes to virulence and roles of plant immunity in controlling it.

Project description:Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a special plant pathogen causing crown gall disease. This pathogen is well known for the technology Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. As a pathogen, Agrobacterium triggers plant immunity, and this affects transformation. But the signaling components and pathways in plant immunity to Agrobacterium remain elusive. We demonstrate two Arabidopsis MAPKKs MKK4/MKK5 and their downstream MAPKs MPK3/MPK6 play a major role in both Agrobacterium-triggered immunity and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Agrobacteria induce MPK3/MPK6 activity and plant defense responsive genes expression in a very early stage. This process is dependent on MKK4/MKK5 function. Loss of function of MKK4 and MKK5 or their downstream MPK3 and MPK6 abolishes plant immunity to agrobacteria, and increases the transformation frequency, while activation of MKK4 and MKK5 enhances the plant immunity and represses the transformation. Global transcriptome indicates agrobacteria induce various plant defense pathways, including ROS production, ethylene and SA-mediated defense responses, and MKK4/MKK5 is essential for these pathways induction. Activation of MKK4 and MKK5 promotes ROS production and cell death in agrobacteria infection process. Ethylene and SA act bypass of MKK4/MKK5 signaling to regulate transformation. Based on these results, we propose MKK4/5-MPK3/6 cascade is an essential signaling pathway to regulate Agrobacterium-mediated transformation by modulating Agrobacterium-triggered plant immunity.

Project description:Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to regulate gene expression to activate immune responses against pathogen infections. However, how the translation system contributes to plant immunity is largely unknown. The evolutionarily conserved thiolation modification of tRNA ensures efficient decoding during translation. Here we show that tRNA thiolation is required for plant immunity in Arabidopsis. The Arabidopsis cgb mutant is hyper-susceptible to the pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. CGB encodes ROL5, a homolog of yeast NCS6 required for tRNA thiolation. ROL5 physically interacts with CTU2, a homolog of yeast NCS2. Mutations in either ROL5 or CTU2 result in loss of tRNA thiolation. Further analyses reveal that tRNA thiolation is required for both transcriptional reprogramming and translational reprogramming during immune responses. The translation efficiency of immune-related proteins reduces when tRNA thiolation is absent. Our study not only uncovers a new biological function of tRNA thiolation but also reveals a new mechanism for plant immunity.

Project description:Plant pathogens can cause serious diseases that impact global agriculture1. Understanding how the plant immune system naturally restricts pathogen infection holds a key to sustainable disease control in modern agricultural practices. However, despite extensive studies into the molecular and genetic basis of plant defense against pathogens since the 1950s2,3, one of the most fundamental questions in plant pathology remains unanswered: how resistant plants halt pathogen growth during immune activation. In the case of bacterial infections, a major bottleneck is an inability to determine the global bacterial transcriptome and metabolic responses in planta. Here, we developed an innovative pipeline that allows for in planta high-resolution bacterial transcriptome analysis with RNA-Seq, using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and the foliar bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. We examined a total of 27 combinations of plant immunity and bacterial virulence mutants to gain an unprecedented insight into the bacterial transcriptomic responses during plant immunity. We were able to identify specific bacterial transcriptomic signatures that are linked to bacterial inhibition during two major forms of plant immunity: pattern-triggered immunity and effector-triggered immunity. Among them, regulation of a P. syringae sigma factor gene, involved in iron regulation and an unknown process(es), was found to play a causative role in bacterial restriction during plant immunity. This study unlocked the enigmatic mechanisms of bacterial growth inhibition during plant immunity; results have broad basic and practical implications for future study of plant diseases.
