Project description:The general aim was to better understand the role of StTGA2.1 in plant immunity by transcriptional profiling of plants overexpressing the salicylic acid pathwas related TGA transcription factor StTGA2.1 after infection with potato virus Y (PVY). Potato non-transgenic cultivar Rywal (NT), Rywal-NahG (NahG), a transgenic line unable to accumulate SA due to salicylate hydroxylase expression, and a transgenic Rywal-NahG line inducibly overexpressing StTGA2.1 (TGA2.1-NahG) using the glucocorticoid-system, in which target gene expression can be controlled by external application of dexamethasone (DEX), were used. The leaves of three plants per genotype were infected with either PVY or mock-inoculum and subsequently treated with DEX. Additionally, three TGA2.1-NahG PVY-infected or mock-inoculated plants were not treated with DEX as control. After four days, PVY infection symtoms appeared as small regions of necrotic tissue called lesions. Tissue sections, containing lesions and their immediate surrounding area, were sampled, allowing us to focus on PVY-affected cells. Total RNA was isolated, DNase treated and sent for library prep and high-throughput sequencing.
Project description:These arrays were done in a study to probe Y-by-parent-of-origin effects on gene expression across two geographically diverse (Ohio, USA and Republic of Congo, Africa) Y-chromosome lineages (Cs or Con), and two modes of Y chromosome transmission (paternally or maternally).
Project description:In order to identify cellular proteins interacting with the coat protein (CP) of Potato virus Y (PVY), we used coimmunoprecipitation of GFP-CP in PVY-infected Nicotiana benthamiana plants. To be able to pull down non-abundant interactors and to stabilize transient interactions, we used the crosslinker dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) (DSP). With this we were able to identify a total of 147 potential CP interactors.
Project description:Many virus diseases of economic importance to agriculture result from mixtures of different pathogens invading the host at a given time. This contrasts with the relatively scarce studies available on the molecular events associated with virus-host interactions in mixed infections. In comparison to single infections, co-infection of Nicotiana benthamiana with Potato virus X (PVX) and Potato virus Y (PVY) resulted in increased systemic symptoms (synergism) that led to necrosis of the newly emerging leaves, and the plant death. A comparative transcriptional analysis was undertaken to identify quantitative and qualitative differences in gene expression during this synergistic infection, and to correlate these changes with the severe symptoms it caused. Global transcription profiles of doubly-infected leaves were compared with those from singly-infected leaves using gene ontology enrichment analysis and metabolic pathway annotator software. Functional gene categories altered by the double infection comprise suites of genes regulated coordinately, which are associated with chloroplast functions (down-regulated), protein synthesis and degradation (up-regulated), carbohydrate metabolism (up-regulated), and response to biotic stimulus and stress (up-regulated). The expression of reactive oxygen species-generating enzymes as well as several mitogen-activated protein kinases, were also significantly induced. Accordingly, synergistic infection induced a severe oxidative stress in N. benthamiana leaves, as judged by increases in lipid peroxidation, and by the generation of superoxide radicals in chloroplasts, which correlated with the misregulation of antioxidative genes in microarray data. Interestingly, expression of genes encoding oxylipin biosynthesis was uniquely up-regulated by the synergistic infection. Virus-induced gene silencing of alfa-dioxygenase1 delayed cell death during PVX-PVY infection. Using mock inoculated leaf tissue as a reference, we compare the gene expression profiles of Nicotiana benthamiana plants infected with one of two viruses, Potato virus X (PVX) or Potato virus Y (PVY), or the combination PVX plus PVY. 3 biological replicates per treatment were independently grown and haversted.
Project description:Time series response of potato cv. Désirée, which is tolerant to PVY infection, was analysed in both inoculated as well as upper non-inoculated leaves. Additionally, transgenic plants deficient in accumulation of salicylic acid (NahG- Désirée) were studied in the same setting.

Project description:Quant-Seq analysis comparison of PVY-free and PVY-infected potato leaves
Project description:These arrays were done in a study to probe Y-by-parent-of-origin effects on gene expression across two geographically diverse (Ohio, USA and Republic of Congo, Africa) Y-chromosome lineages (Cs or Con), and two modes of Y chromosome transmission (paternally or maternally). Males harbor one of two Y chromosomes extracted from natural populations. Y chromosomes are inherited maternally or paternally. Therefore, 4 nodes in the design matrix. Each node was competitively hybridized to each of the other three nodes in 2 dual-channel arrays, dye-swapped.
