Soybean root transcriptome profiling reveals a nonhost resistant response during Heterodera glycines infection

Abstract

Heterodera glycines (soybean cyst nematode, SCN) is one of the most devastating pathogens of soybean worldwide. The compatible and in compatible interactions between soybean and SCN have well documented. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism of a nonhost resistant response in soybean against SCN infection remains obscure. Toward this end, a global transcriptional comparison was conducted between susceptible and resistant reactions of soybean roots infected by taking advantage of finding a new pathotype of SCN (SCN T ). The soybean cultivar Lee, which exhibits resistant to SCN T and susceptible to HG 1.2.3.4.7 (SCN s ) was utilized in the expriments. The results highlighted a nonhost resistant response of soybean. Transcriptome analysis indicated that the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the resistant interaction (3746) was much larger than that in the susceptible interaction (602). A great number of genes acting as intrinsic component of membrane, integral component of membrane, cell periphery and plasma membrance were remarkably enriched only in the resistant interaction, while the taurine and hypotaurine, phenylpropanoid pathway, plant-pathogen interaction and transcript factors were modulated in both interactions. This is the first study to examine genes expression patterns in a soybean genotype in response to invasion by a virulent and avirulent SCN population at the transcriptional level, which will provide insights into the complicate molecular mechanism of the nonhost resistant interaction.

Phaeophyceaean (Brown Algal) Extracts Activate Plant Defense Systems in Arabidopsis thaliana Challenged With Phytophthora cinnamomi

“…In the cellular component GO category, up-regulated DEGs in all three of the seaweed extract-treated and inoculated plants were principally assigned to the categories membrane, nucleus, integral component of membrane, plasma membrane and extracellular region (Figures 3-5). A similar predominance of these GO categories was also found in the resistance of plants to incompatible pathogens (Song et al, 2019). For example, cell surface receptors are trans-membrane proteins that bind signal molecules in the extracellular space and generate different intracellular signals on the opposite side of the plasma membrane (Alberts et al, 2014).…”

Dual species dynamic transcripts reveal the interaction mechanisms between Chrysanthemum morifolium and Alternaria alternata

“…The degree of GO term enrichment was similar among the three stages of A. alternata infection and DEGs were divided into 38 functional categories, according to biological processes (16), cellular components (12), and molecular functions (10). "Metabolic process", "organic substance metabolic process" and "cellular process" were the most significantly enriched biological processes; the most significantly enriched cellular components were detected in "cell", "cell part", and "intracellular"; while "hydrolase activity", "organic cyclic compound binding" and "heterocyclic compound binding" occupied the important positions in molecular functions ( Figure 2E).…”

“…High-throughput sequencing technology, especially RNA-seq, tracks more precise molecular changes in plants under biotic and abiotic stress. This method has been widely applied in research on plant-pathogen interactions in agricultural crops, including in apple (Malus × domestica) [6], citrus [7], gape (Vitis vinifera) [8], pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) [9], soybean [10], and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) [11]. The studies above were limited to a unilateral transcription analysis of plants under pathogenic stress.…”
