Project description:Pseudomonas fluorescens strain SS101 (Pf.SS101) promotes growth of Arabidopsis thaliana, enhances greening and lateral root formation, and induces systemic resistance (ISR) against the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst). Here, targeted and untargeted approaches were adopted to identify bacterial determinants and underlying mechanisms involved in plant growth promotion and ISR by Pf.SS101. Based on targeted analyses, no evidence was found for volatiles, lipopeptides and siderophores in plant growth promotion by Pf.SS101. Untargeted, genome-wide analyses of 7,488 random transposon mutants of Pf.SS101 led to the identification of 21 mutants defective in both plant growth promotion and ISR. Many of these mutants, however, were auxotrophic and impaired in root colonization. Genetic analysis of three mutants followed by site-directed mutagenesis, genetic complementation and plant bioassays revealed the involvement of the phosphogluconate dehydratase gene edd, the response regulator gene colR and the adenylsulfate reductase gene cysH in both plant growth promotion and ISR. Subsequent comparative plant transcriptomics analyses strongly suggest that modulation of sulfur assimilation, auxin biosynthesis and transport, steroid biosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism in Arabidopsis are key mechanisms linked to growth promotion and ISR by Pf.SS101. Comparative transcriptome analysis of Arabidopsis treated with Pf. SS101, a growth and ISR promoting rhizobacteria and plants treated with cysH mutant of Pf.SS101 that fails to induce the afformentioned phenotypes
Project description:The Arabidopsis genome encodes 3 PAT mRNA decapping factors: PAT1(AT1g79090), PATH1 (AT3g22270) and PATH2 (AT4g14990). We generated single, double and triple knockouts (KOs) of the three PATs by CRISPR/CAS9-mediated genome editing in the summ2-8 background to avoid immune activation. The 6 weeks-old soil-grown pat triple mutants exhibited markedly stunted growth compared to the other pat single or double mutants indicating functional redundancy of PATs in regulating plant development. To identify genes which affect different developmental programs regulated by PATs, we performed RNA-seq from plants of pat1-1path1-4path2-1summ2-8 and all single and double mutant combinations.

Project description:Plants rely on complex signaling networks to regulate growth and to interact with their environment, including beneficial microbes such as plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Among these microbes, Caulobacter RHG1 has been shown to enhance plant growth and is recognized by Arabidopsis roots via specific receptor-like kinases (RLKs), but the molecular mechanisms underlying the plant growth-promotion effect remain largely unknown. To investigate these mechanisms, we used an integrative approach combining proteomics and phosphoproteomics to explore how RHG1 stimulates growth in Arabidopsis thaliana. Our findings suggest that RHG1 is perceived at the root-level and this, via phosphorylation-based signaling pathways, triggers early protein-based effects that are characterized by timely modulation of defense and developmental processes, which eventually lead to plant growth promotion. Understanding the mechanisms behind such beneficial plant-microbe interactions can pave the way for more effective commercialization of PGPR-based agricultural products, and our approach offers valuable insights for future research in this field.
Project description:Possitive effects of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) inoculation on plant growth and development are dependent on interaction between bacterial strains and plant roots, which are usually the bacterial niche. Furthermore, phytohormones are key regulators of plant physiology. Ethylene is essential in plant growth and development and in response to drought. Plant sensibility to ethylene is involved in plant response to PGPB strain inoculation and plant growth promotion. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying plant interaction with two different PGPB strains (isolated from arid soils in southern Spain) regarding to plant sentitivity to ethylene by tomato ethylene receptor 3 (SlETR3).
