Solanum Torvum

ABSTRACTRoot-knot nematodes (RKNs) are among the most devastating pests in agriculture. Solanum torvum Sw. (turkey berry) has been used as a rootstock for eggplant (aubergine) cultivation because of its resistance to RKNs, including Meloidogyne incognita and M. arenaria. We previously found that a pathotype of M. arenaria, A2-J, is able to infect and propagate in S. torvum. In vitro infection assays showed that S. torvum induces the accumulation of brown pigments during avirulent pathotype A2-O infection, but not during virulent A2-J infection. This experimental system is advantageous because resistant and susceptible responses can be distinguished within a few days, and because a single plant genome can yield information about both resistant and susceptible responses. Comparative RNA-sequencing analysis of S. torvum inoculated with A2-J and A2-O at early stages of infection was used to parse the specific resistance and susceptible responses. Infection with A2-J did not induce statistically significant changes in gene expression within one day post-inoculation (DPI), but afterward, A2-J specifically induced the expression of chalcone synthase, spermidine synthase, and genes related to cell wall modification and transmembrane transport. Infection with A2-O rapidly induced the expression of genes encoding class III peroxidases, sesquiterpene synthases, and fatty acid desaturases at 1 DPI, followed by genes involved in defense, hormone signaling, and the biosynthesis of lignin at 3 DPI. Both isolates induced the expression of suberin biosynthetic genes, which may be triggered by wounding during nematode infection. Histochemical analysis revealed that A2-O, but not A2-J, induced lignin accumulation at the root tip, suggesting that physical reinforcement of cell walls with lignin is an important defense response against nematodes. The S. torvum-RKN system can provide a molecular basis for understanding plant-nematode interactions.

Abstract Background: The sedentary root-knot nematode Meloidogyne spp. secretes effectors in a spatial and temporal manner to interfere with and mimic multiple physiological and morphological mechanisms, supporting construction and maintenance of nematodes' feeding sites. For successful parasitism, many effectors act as immunomodulators, aimed to manipulate and suppress immune defense signaling triggered upon nematode invasion. Results: Comprehensive oxylipin profiling of tomato roots, performed using LC–MS/MS, indicated a sharp fluctuation in oxylipin profile following Root Knot Nematode infection. To identify genes that might respond to the lipidomic defense pathway mediated through oxylipins, RNA-Seq was performed by exposing Meloidogyne javanica second-stage juveniles to tomato protoplasts and the oxylipin 9-HOT, early induced in tomato roots upon nematode infection. A total of 4810 differentially expressed genes were identified. To target putative effectors, we explored differentially expressed genes carrying a predicted secretion signal peptide. Among these, several were homologous with known effectors in other nematode species; other unknown, potentially secreted proteins may have a role as root-knot nematode effectors that are induced by plant lipid signals. These include effectors functioning in the manipulation of plant defense signaling and root lipidomics, cell-wall weakening, detoxifying the stressful environment at the plant-nematode interface, allowing feeding site construction and development. Conclusions: Being an integral part of the plant's defense response, oxylipins may play an important signaling role in the regulation of nematode effectors. Herein we uncover activation of specific oxylipins signaling pathways upon nematode infection, which in turn result in reprogramming the nematode effector repertoires responsible for promotion of feeding site construction and nematode parasitism.
