Glycine max polygalacturonase inhibiting protein 11 (GmPGIP11) functions in the root to suppress Heterodera glycines parasitism. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2024; 213:108755. [PMID: 38875777 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2024.108755] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
Pathogen-secreted polygalacturonases (PGs) alter plant cell wall structure by cleaving the α-(1 → 4) linkages between D-galacturonic acid residues in homogalacturonan (HG), macerating the cell wall, facilitating infection. Plant PG inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) disengage pathogen PGs, impairing infection. The soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines, obligate root parasite produces secretions, generating a multinucleate nurse cell called a syncytium, a byproduct of the merged cytoplasm of 200-250 root cells, occurring through cell wall maceration. The common cytoplasmic pool, surrounded by an intact plasma membrane, provides a source from which H. glycines derives nourishment but without killing the parasitized cell during a susceptible reaction. The syncytium is also the site of a naturally-occurring defense response that happens in specific G. max genotypes. Transcriptomic analyses of RNA isolated from the syncytium undergoing the process of defense have identified that one of the 11 G. max PGIPs, GmPGIP11, is expressed during defense. Functional transgenic analyses show roots undergoing GmPGIP11 overexpression (OE) experience an increase in its relative transcript abundance (RTA) as compared to the ribosomal protein 21 (GmRPS21) control, leading to a decrease in H. glycines parasitism as compared to the overexpression control. The GmPGIP11 undergoing RNAi experiences a decrease in its RTA as compared to the GmRPS21 control with transgenic roots experiencing an increase in H. glycines parasitism as compared to the RNAi control. Pathogen associated molecular pattern (PAMP) triggered immunity (PTI) and effector triggered immunity (ETI) components are shown to influence GmPGIP11 expression while numerous agricultural crops are shown to have homologs.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 13:1118503.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is a major disease in soybean production thatseriously affects soybean yield. At present, there are no studies on weighted geneco-expression network analysis (WGCNA) related to SCN resistance. METHODS Here, transcriptome data from 36 soybean roots under SCN HG Type 0 (race 3) stresswere used in WGCNA to identify significant modules. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A total of 10,000 differentially expressed genes and 21 modules were identified, of which the module most related to SCN was turquoise. In addition, the hub gene GmHg1 with high connectivity was selected, and its function was verified. GmHg1 encodes serine/threonine protein kinase (PK), and the expression of GmHg1 in SCN-resistant cultivars ('Dongnong L-204') and SCN-susceptible cultivars ('Heinong 37') increased significantly after HG Type 0 stress. Soybean plants transformed with GmHg1-OX had significantly increased SCN resistance. In contrast, the GmHg1-RNAi transgenic soybean plants significantly reduced SCN resistance. In transgenic materials, the expression patterns of 11 genes with the same expression trend as the GmHg1 gene in the 'turquoise module' were analyzed. Analysis showed that 11genes were co-expressed with GmHg1, which may be involved in the process of soybean resistance to SCN. Our work provides a new direction for studying the Molecular mechanism of soybean resistance to SCN.

Abstract
Increasing global food production is threatened by harsh environmental conditions along with biotic stresses, requiring massive new research into integrated stress resistance in plants. Stomata play a pivotal role in response to many biotic and abiotic stresses, but their orchestrated interactions at the molecular, physiological, and biochemical levels were less investigated. Here, we reviewed the influence of drought, pathogen, and insect herbivory on stomata to provide a comprehensive overview in the context of stomatal regulation. We also summarized the molecular mechanisms of stomatal response triggered by these stresses. To further investigate the effect of stomata-herbivore interaction at a transcriptional level, integrated transcriptome studies from different plant species attacked by different pests revealed evidence of the crosstalk between abiotic and biotic stress. Comprehensive understanding of the involvement of stomata in some plant-herbivore interactions may be an essential step towards herbivores' manipulation of plants, which provides insights for the development of integrated pest management strategies. Moreover, we proposed that stomata can function as important modulators of plant response to stress combination, representing an exciting frontier of plant science with a broad and precise view of plant biotic interactions.

Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is an important leguminous crop and biotic stresses are a global concern for soybean growers. In recent decades, significant development has been carried outtowards identification of the diseases caused by pathogens, sources of resistance and determination of loci conferring resistance to different diseases on linkage maps of soybean. Host-plant resistance is generally accepted as the bestsolution because of its role in the management of environmental and economic conditions of farmers owing to low input in terms of chemicals. The main objectives of soybean crop improvement are based on the identification of sources of resistance or tolerance against various biotic as well as abiotic stresses and utilization of these sources for further hybridization and transgenic processes for development of new cultivars for stress management. The focus of the present review is to summarize genetic aspects of various diseases caused by pathogens in soybean and molecular breeding research work conducted to date.

Full-Length Transcriptional Analysis of the Same Soybean Genotype With Compatible and Incompatible Reactions to Heterodera glycines Reveals Nematode Infection Activating Plant Defense Response. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:866322.

Abstract
Full-length transcriptome sequencing with long reads is a powerful tool to analyze transcriptional and post-transcriptional events; however, it has not been applied on soybean (Glycine max). Here, a comparative full-length transcriptome analysis was performed on soybean genotype 09-138 infected with soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines) race 4 (SCN4, incompatible reaction) and race 5 (SCN5, compatible reaction) using Oxford Nanopore Technology. Each of 9 full-length samples collected 8 days post inoculation with/without nematodes generated an average of 6.1 GB of clean data and a total of 65,038 transcript sequences. After redundant transcripts were removed, 1,117 novel genes and 41,096 novel transcripts were identified. By analyzing the sequence structure of the novel transcripts, a total of 28,759 complete open reading frame (ORF) sequences, 5,337 transcription factors, 288 long non-coding RNAs, and 40,090 novel transcripts with function annotation were predicted. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) revealed that growth hormone, auxin-activated signaling pathway and multidimensional cell growth, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway were enriched by infection with both nematode races. More DEGs associated with stress response elements, plant-hormone signaling transduction pathway, and plant-pathogen interaction pathway with more upregulation were found in the incompatible reaction with SCN4 infection, and more DEGs with more upregulation involved in cell wall modification and carbohydrate bioprocess were detected in the compatible reaction with SCN5 infection when compared with each other. Among them, overlapping DEGs with a quantitative difference was triggered. The combination of protein-protein interaction with DEGs for the first time indicated that nematode infection activated the interactions between transcription factor WRKY and VQ (valine-glutamine motif) to contribute to soybean defense. The knowledge of the SCN-soybean interaction mechanism as a model will present more understanding of other plant-nematode interactions.

Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max) is a major plant protein source and oilseed crop. However, plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) affect its annual yield. In the current study, in order to better understand the regulation of defense mechanism against PPNs in soybean, we investigated the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in response to two nematode species, Heterodera glycines (SCN: soybean cyst nematode) and Rotylenchulus reniformis (reniform). To this end, two publicly available RNA-seq data sets (SCN data set and RAD: reniform-associated data set) were employed to discover the lncRNAome profile of soybean under SCN and reniform infection, respectively. Upon identification of unannotated transcripts in these data sets, a seven-step pipeline was utilized to sieve these transcripts, which ended up in 384 and 283 potential lncRNAs in SCN data set and RAD, respectively. These transcripts were then used to predict cis and trans nematode-related targets in soybean genome. Computational prediction of target genes function, some of which were also among differentially expressed genes, revealed the involvement of putative nematode-responsive genes as well as enrichment of multiple stress responses in both data sets. Finally, 15 and six lncRNAs were proposed to be involved in microRNA-mediated regulation of gene expression in soybean in response to SNC and reniform infection, respectively. Collectively, this study provides a novel insight into the signaling and regulatory network of soybean-pathogen interactions and opens a new window for further research.

Abstract
Ascorbate-glutathione (AsA-GSH) cycle plays an important role in tuning beneficial ROS accumulation for intracellular signals and imparts plant tolerance to oxidative stress by detoxifying excess of ROS. Here, we present genome-wide identification of AsA-GSH cycle genes (APX, MDHAR, DHAR, and GR) in several leguminous species and expression analyses in G. max during stress, germination and tissue development. Our data revealed 24 genes in Glycine genus against the maximum of 15 in other leguminous species, which was due to 9 pars of duplicated genes mostly originated from sub/neofunctionalization. Cytosolic APX and MDHAR genes were highly expressed in different tissues and physiological conditions. Germination induced genes encoding AsA-GSH proteins from different cell compartments, whereas vegetative phase (leaves) stimulated predominantly genes related to chloroplast/mitochondria proteins. Moreover, cytosolic APX-1, 2, MDHAR-1a, 1b and GR genes were the primary genes linked to senescence and biotic stresses, while stAPX-a, b and GR (from organelles) were the most abiotic stress related genes. Biotic and abiotic stress tolerant genotypes generally showed increased MDHAR, DHAR and/or GR mRNA levels compared to susceptible genotypes. Overall, these data clarified evolutionary events in leguminous plants and point to the functional specificity of duplicated genes of the AsA-GSH cycle in G. max.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE The qSCN10 locus with broad-spectrum SCN resistance was fine-mapped to a 379-kb region on chromosome 10 in soybean accession PI 567516C. Candidate genes and potential application benefits of this locus were discussed. Soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) is one of the most devastating pests of soybean, causing significant yield losses worldwide every year. Genetic resistance has been the major strategy to control this pest. However, the overuse of the same genetic resistance derived primarily from PI 88788 has led to the genetic shifts in nematode populations and resulted in the reduced effectiveness in soybean resistance to SCN. Therefore, novel genetic resistance resources, especially those with broad-spectrum resistance, are needed to develop new resistant cultivars to cope with the genetic shifts in nematode populations. In this study, a quantitative trait locus (QTL) qSCN10 previously identified from a soybean landrace PI 567516C was confirmed to confer resistance to multiple SCN HG Types. This QTL was further fine-mapped to a 379-kb region. There are 51 genes in this region. Four of them are defense-related and were regulated by SCN infection, suggesting their potential role in mediating resistance to SCN. The phylogenetic and haplotype analyses of qSCN10 as well as other information indicate that this locus is different from other reported resistance QTL or genes. There was no yield drag or other unfavorable traits associated with this QTL when near-isogenic lines with and without qSCN10 were tested in a SCN-free field. Therefore, our study not only provides further insight into the genetic basis of soybean resistance to SCN, but also identifies a novel genetic resistance resource for breeding soybean for durable, broad-spectrum resistance to this pest.

Abstract
Wild soybean species (Glycine soja Siebold & Zucc.) comprise a unique resource to widen the genetic base of cultivated soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] for various agronomic traits. An inter-specific mapping population derived from a cross of cultivar Williams 82 and PI 483460B, a wild soybean accession, was utilized for genetic characterization of root architecture traits. The objectives of this study were to identify and characterize quantitative trait loci (QTL) for seedling shoot and root architecture traits, as well as to determine additive/epistatic interaction effects of identified QTLs. A total of 16,469 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) developed for the Illumina beadchip genotyping platform were used to construct a high resolution genetic linkage map. Among the 11 putative QTLs identified, two significant QTLs on chromosome 7 were determined to be associated with total root length (RL) and root surface area (RSA) with favorable alleles from the wild soybean parent. These seedling root traits, RL (BARC_020495_04641 ~ BARC_023101_03769) and RSA (SNP02285 ~ SNP18129_Magellan), could be potential targets for introgression into cultivated soybean background to improve both tap and lateral roots. The RL QTL region harbors four candidate genes with higher expression in root tissues: Phosphofructokinase (Glyma.07g126400), Snf7 protein (Glyma.07g127300), unknown functional gene (Glyma.07g127900), and Leucine Rich-Repeat protein (Glyma.07g127100). The novel alleles inherited from the wild soybean accession could be used as molecular markers to improve root system architecture and productivity in elite soybean lines.

Abstract
Dendrolimus houi Lajonquiere is a phytophagous caterpillar infesting many economically important coniferous tree species in China, causing serious economic and ecological environment losses. Based on previous research, it has one generation per year in South China and East China in contrast to two generations per year in Yunnan province in southwestern China. The species is potentially resilient to climatic extremes in these regions with the eggs and 1st instar larvae surviving in the winter (5 °C), older instar larvae and pupae surviving high temperatures in the summer (35 °C), suggesting some temperature stress tolerance during different developmental stages. However, little is known in this species at the genetic and genomic level. In this study, we used high throughput sequencing to obtain transcriptome data from different developmental stages (eggs, 1st-3rd instar larvae, 4th-5th instar larvae, 6th-7th instar larvae, pupae, male and female adults), which were collected from Fujian province. In total, we obtained approximately 90 Gb of data, from which 33,720 unigenes were assembled and 17,797 unigenes were annotated. We furtherly analyzed the differentially expressed genes (DGEs) across all stages, the largest number between the eggs and 1st instar larvae stage and gene expression varied significantly in different developmental stages. Furthermore, 4138 SSR genes and 114,977 SNP loci were screened from transcriptome data. This paper will be a foundation for further study towards improved integrated pest management strategies for this species.

Abstract
Soybean aphid (SBA; Aphis glycines Matsumura) and soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines Ichninohe) are major pests of the soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.). Substantial progress has been made in identifying the genetic basis of limiting these pests in both model and non-model plant systems. Classical linkage mapping and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified major and minor quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in soybean. Studies on interactions of SBA and SCN effectors with host proteins have identified molecular cues in various signaling pathways, including those involved in plant disease resistance and phytohormone regulations. In this paper, we review the molecular basis of soybean resistance to SBA and SCN, and we provide a synthesis of recent studies of soybean QTLs/genes that could mitigate the effects of virulent SBA and SCN populations. We also review relevant studies of aphid–nematode interactions, particularly in the soybean–SBA–SCN system.
