Project description:Healthy plants are vital for successful, long-duration missions in space, as they provide the crew with life support, food production, and psychological benefits. The microorganisms that associate with plant tissues play a critical role in improving plant growth, health, and production. To that end, it is necessary to develop methodologies that investigate the metabolic activities of the plant’s microbiome in orbit to enable rapid responses regarding the care of plants in space. In this study, we developed a protocol to characterize the endophytic and epiphytic microbial metatranscriptome of red romaine lettuce, a key salad crop that was grown under International Space Station (ISS)-like conditions. Microbial transcripts enriched from host-microbe total RNA were sequenced using the Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencing platform. Results showed that this enrichment approach was highly reproducible and effective for rapid on-site detection of microbial transcriptional activity. Taxonomic analysis based on 16S and 18S rRNA transcripts identified that the top five most abundant phyla in the lettuce microbiome were Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Ascomycota. The metatranscriptomic analysis identified the expression of genes involved in many metabolic pathways, including carbohydrate metabolism, energy metabolism, and signal transduction. Network analyses of the expression data show that, within the signal transduction pathway of the fungal community, the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase signaling pathway was tightly regulated across all samples and could be a potential driver for fungal proliferation. Our results demonstrated the feasibility of using MinION-based metatranscriptomics of enriched microbial RNA as a method for rapid, on-site monitoring of the transcriptional activity of crop microbiomes, thereby helping to facilitate and maintain plant health for on-orbit space food production.

Project description:Lettuce is a widely consumed leafy vegetable, valued for its nutritional benefits and culinary versatility. Various breeding initiatives have yielded lettuce varieties such as romaine or cos lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. longifolia), characterized by pigmented germplasm and enhanced tolerance to elevated temperatures. Despite its significance, a notable need exists for targeted study investigations into its chemical composition. Thus, this study aims to define the volatile and non-volatile components of the red romaine Thurinus RZ lettuce cultivar using LC-MS and GC-MS analysis. For LC-MS analysis, a C18 column will be accompanied by gradient elution using (A) water and (B) acetonitrile, each containing 0.1% formic acid as the mobile phase. For GC-MS analysis, the HP-5 column will be accompanied by Helium as the carrier gas. The molecules determined will then be ionized, and fragments will be interpreted and annotated using the mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio, which will further be tabulated.

Project description:Chitin soil amendment is known to improve soil quality, plant growth and plant stress resilience, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, we monitored chitin’s effect on lettuce physiology every two weeks through an eight-week growth period, analyzed the early transcriptional reprogramming and related metabolomic changes of lettuce, in response to crab chitin treatment in peat-based potting soil. In commercial growth conditions, chitin amendment still promoted lettuce growth, increased chlorophyll content, the number of leaves and crop head weight from week six. The flavonoid content in lettuce leaves was altered as well, showing an increase at week two but a decrease from week six. Transcriptomic analysis showed that over 300 genes in lettuce root were significant differentially expressed after chitin soil treatment. Gene Ontology-term (GO) enrichment analysis revealed statistical overrepresentation of GO terms linked to photosynthesis, pigment metabolic process and phenylpropanoid metabolic process. Further analysis of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) showed that the flavonoid pathway is mostly upregulated whereas the bifurcation of upstream phenylpropanoid pathway towards lignin biosynthesis is mostly downregulated. Metabolomic analysis revealed the upregulation of salicylic acid, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, and p-coumaric acid in chitin treated lettuce seedlings. These phenolic compounds mainly influence the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway and may play important roles in plant defense reactions. Our results suggest that chitin soil amendments might activate induced resistance by priming lettuce plants and promote lettuce growth via transcriptional changes.

Project description:Commensal bacteria can manipulate the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of intestinal epithelial cells. Hindlimb unloading alters the composition and structure of the microbial community. To further characterize the epithelial changes, we performed a genome-wide microarray analysis of colon epithelium isolated from HU and control mice.

Project description:Enzymatic browning on the cut edge of lettuce significantly limits its quality and shelf life. To characterize its molecular mechanisms, we performed comparative transcriptome analysis of three Romaine lettuce cultivars, Parris Island Cos (PC) with low browning potential, Tall Guzmaine (TG) with high degree of browning and Clemente (CL), a medium degree of browning cultivar derived from TG x PC. Before cutting, the phenylpropanoid and oxidative stress genes, such as PAL1, MYB1 and PPO were up-regulated in PC as compared to TG, while the expressions of genes involved in auxin, cytokinin hormone signalings and defense, such as ARF, AHP and PTI in PC were higher than TG. The transcript levels of all these genes in CL were somewhere between TG and PC. On day 3 after cutting when browning was shown up in TG, the expression of these phenylpropanoid and oxidative stress genes were remarkably increased in all three cultivars, even though their levels in TG were still higher than those in PC and CI. In comparison, expressions of the hormone and defense genes were reduced in all three cultivars, but their levels in PC were higher than CI and TG. Exogenous application of IAA and 6-BA inhibited lettuce browning possibly by alleviating the burst of those browning related genes, such as PAL1 and PPO1. These results demonstrate that lettuce tissue browning is controlled by reduced growth hormone (mainly auxin) level and increased phenolics biosynthesis and oxidation. This study provides the useful knowledge and functional markers for lettuce breeders and industry to select low tissue browning cultivar and manage lettuce quality during storage and processing.
