Jiao Y, Sha C, Xie R, Shu Q. Comparative analysis of the potential physiological and molecular mechanisms involved in the response to root zone hypoxia in two rootstock seedlings of the Chinese bayberry via transcriptomic analysis. Funct Integr Genomics 2022; 23:11. [PMID: 36542181 DOI: 10.1007/s10142-022-00944-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2021] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
The negative effects of waterlogging can be effectively improved through the use of waterlogging-resistant rootstocks. However, the underlying physiological and molecular mechanisms of Chinese bayberry (Morella rubra) rootstock tolerance to waterlogging have not yet been investigated. This study aims to unravel the molecular regulation mechanisms underlying waterlogging-tolerant rootstocks. Two rootstocks, Morella cerifera (tolerant) and Morella rubra (sensitive), were selected for root zone hypoxia treatments, assessments of hormone levels and antioxidant enzyme activity, and transcriptomic analysis. While the contents of abscisic acid (ABA) and brassinosteroid (BR) in the roots of M. rubra decreased significantly after root zone hypoxia treatment, there were no significant changes in M. cerifera. Both the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content increased in M. cerifera but were decreased in M. rubra. Transcriptome sequencing identified 1,925 (928 up- and 997 downregulated) and 733 (278 up- and 455 downregulated) differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the two rootstocks. The gene set enrichment analysis showed that 84 gene sets were enriched after root zone hypoxia treatment, including 57 (35 up- and 22 downregulated) and 14 (five up- and nine downregulated) gene sets derived from M. cerifera and M. rubra, respectively, while the remaining 13 gene sets were shared. KEGG pathway analysis showed specific enrichment in six pathways in M. cerifera, including the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), tyrosine metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, ribosome, cyanoamino acid metabolism, and plant-pathogen interaction pathways. Overall, these results provide preliminary insights into the molecular mechanisms of Chinese bayberry tolerance to waterlogging.

Transcriptome Analysis in Response to Infection of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola Strains with Different Pathogenicity. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 24:ijms24010014. [PMID: 36613454 PMCID: PMC9820197 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24010014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Bacterial leaf streak (BLS) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) is one of the most important quarantine diseases in the world. Breeding disease-resistant varieties can solve the problem of prevention and treatment of BLS from the source. The discovery of the molecular mechanism of resistance is an important driving force for breeding resistant varieties. In this study, a BLS-resistant near isogenic line NIL-bls2 was used as the material. Guangxi Xoc strain gx01 (abbreviated as WT) and its mutant strain (abbreviated as MT) with a knockout type III effectors (T3Es) gene were used to infect rice material NIL-bls2. The molecular interaction mechanism of rice resist near isogenic lines in response to infection by different pathogenic strains was analyzed by transcriptome sequencing. The results showed that there were 415, 134 and 150 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the WT group and the MT group at 12, 24 and 48 h of post inoculation (hpi). Through GO and KEGG enrichment analysis, it was found that, compared with non-pathogenic strains, the T3Es secreted by pathogenic strains inhibited the signal transduction pathway mediated by ethylene (ET), jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA), and the MAPKK (MAPK kinase) and MAPKKK (MAPK kinase kinase) in the MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) cascade reaction, which prevented plants from sensing extracellular stimuli in time and starting the intracellular immune defense mechanism; and inhibited the synthesis of lignin and diterpenoid phytochemicals to prevent plants from establishing their own physical barriers to resist the invasion of pathogenic bacteria. The inhibitory effect was the strongest at 12 h, and gradually weakened at 24 h and 48 h. To cope with the invasion of pathogenic bacteria, rice NIL-bls2 material can promote wound healing by promoting the synthesis of traumatic acid at 12 h; at 24 h, hydrogen peroxide was degraded by dioxygenase, which reduced and eliminated the attack of reactive oxygen species on plant membrane lipids; and at 48 h, rice NIL-bls2 material can resist the invasion of pathogenic bacteria by promoting the synthesis of lignin, disease-resistant proteins, monoterpene antibacterial substances, indole alkaloids and other substances. Through transcriptome sequencing analysis, the molecular interaction mechanism of rice resistance near isogenic lines in response to infection by different pathogenic strains was expounded, and 5 genes, Os01g0719300, Os02g0513100, Os03g0122300, Os04g0301500, and Os10g0575100 closely related to BLS, were screened. Our work provides new data resources and a theoretical basis for exploring the infection mechanism of Xoc strain gx01 and the resistance mechanism of resistance gene bls2.

The host exocyst complex is targeted by a conserved bacterial type-III effector that promotes virulence. THE PLANT CELL 2022; 34:3400-3424.

Abstract
For most Gram-negative bacteria, pathogenicity largely depends on the type-III secretion system that delivers virulence effectors into eukaryotic host cells. The subcellular targets for the majority of these effectors remain unknown. Xanthomonas campestris, the causal agent of black rot disease of crucifers such as Brassica spp., radish, and turnip, delivers XopP, a highly conserved core-effector protein produced by X. campestris, which is essential for virulence. Here, we show that XopP inhibits the function of the host-plant exocyst complex by direct targeting of Exo70B, a subunit of the exocyst complex, which plays a significant role in plant immunity. XopP interferes with exocyst-dependent exocytosis and can do this without activating a plant NOD-like receptor that guards Exo70B in Arabidopsis. In this way, Xanthomonas efficiently inhibits the host's pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity by blocking exocytosis of pathogenesis-related protein-1A, callose deposition, and localization of the FLAGELLIN SENSITIVE2 (FLS2) immune receptor to the plasma membrane, thus promoting successful infection. Inhibition of exocyst function without activating the related defenses represents an effective virulence strategy, indicating the ability of pathogens to adapt to host defenses by avoiding host immunity responses.

Comparative transcriptomic and physiological analyses of weedy rice and cultivated rice to identify vital differentially expressed genes and pathways regulating the ABA response. Sci Rep 2021; 11:12881. [PMID: 34145345 PMCID: PMC8213743 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-92504-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2020] [Accepted: 06/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Weedy rice is a valuable germplasm resource characterized by its high tolerance to both abiotic and biotic stresses. Abscisic acid (ABA) serves as a regulatory signal in plant cells as part of their adaptive response to stress. However, a global understanding of the response of weedy rice to ABA remains to be elucidated. In the present study, the sensitivity to ABA of weedy rice (WR04-6) was compared with that of temperate japonica Shennong9816 (SN9816) in terms of seed germination and post-germination growth via the application of exogenous ABA and diniconazole, an inhibitor of ABA catabolism. Physiological analysis and a transcriptomic comparison allowed elucidation of the molecular and physiological mechanisms associated with continuous ABA and diniconazole treatment. WR04-6 was found to display higher ABA sensitivity than SN9816, resulting in the rapid promotion of antioxidant enzyme activity. Comparative transcriptomic analyses indicated that the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in WR04-6 seedlings treated with 2 μM ABA or 10 μM diniconazole was greater than that in SN9816 seedlings. Genes involved in stress defense, hormone signal transduction, and glycolytic and citrate cycle pathways were highly expressed in WR04-6 in response to ABA and diniconazole. These findings provide new insight into key processes mediating the ABA response between weedy and cultivated rice.
