Plant Science - Abstract
The soybean root necrosis 1 (rn1) mutation causes progressive browning of the roots soon after germination and provides increased tolerance to the soil-borne oomycete pathogen Phytophthora sojae in soybean. Toward understanding the molecular basis of the rn1 mutant phenotypes, we conducted tandem mass tag (TMT)-labeling proteomics and phosphoproteomics analyses of the root tissues of the rn1 mutant and progenitor T322 line to identify potential proteins involved in manifestation of the mutant phenotype. We identified 3,160 proteins. When the p-value was set at ≤0.05 and the fold change of protein accumulation between rn1 and T322 at ≥1.5 or ≤0.67, we detected 118 proteins that showed increased levels and 32 proteins decreased levels in rn1 as compared to that in T322. The differentially accumulated proteins (DAPs) are involved in several pathways including cellular processes for processing environmental and genetic information, metabolism and organismal systems. Five pathogenesis-related proteins were accumulated to higher levels in the mutant as compared to that in T322. Several of the DAPs are involved in hormone signaling, redox reaction, signal transduction, and cell wall modification processes activated in plant–pathogen interactions. The phosphoproteomics analysis identified 22 phosphopeptides, the levels of phosphorylation of which were significantly different between rn1 and T322 lines. The phosphorylation levels of two type II metacaspases were reduced in rn1 as compared to T322. Type II metacaspase has been shown to be a negative regulator of hypersensitive cell death. In absence of the functional Rn1 protein, two type II metacaspases exhibited reduced phosphorylation levels and failed to show negative regulatory cell death function in the soybean rn1 mutant. We hypothesize that Rn1 directly or indirectly phosphorylates type II metacaspases to negatively regulate the cell death process in soybean roots.

Phytophthora sojae is an oomycete that causes stem and root rot disease in soybean. P. sojae delivers many RxLR effector proteins, including Avr1b, into host cells to promote infection. We show here that Avr1b interacts with the soybean U-box protein, GmPUB1-1, in yeast two-hybrid, pull down, and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BIFC) assays. GmPUB1-1, and a homeologous copy GmPUB1-2, are induced by infection and encode 403 amino acid proteins with U-Box domains at their N-termini. Non-synonymous mutations in the Avr1b C-terminus that abolish suppression of cell death also abolished the interaction of Avr1b with GmPUB1-1, while deletion of the GmPUB1-1 C-terminus, but not the U box, abolished the interaction. BIFC experiments suggested that the GmPUB1-1-Avr1b complex is targeted to the nucleus. In vitro ubiquitination assays demonstrated that GmPUB1-1 possesses E3 ligase activity. Silencing of the GmPUB1 genes in soybean cotyledons resulted in loss of recognition of Avr1b by gene products encoded by Rps1-b and Rps1-k. The recognition of Avr1k (which did not interact with GmPUB1-1) by Rps1-k plants was not, however, affected following GmPUB1-1 silencing. Furthermore, over-expression of GmPUB1-1 in particle bombardment experiments triggered cell death suggesting that GmPUB1 may be a positive regulator of effector-triggered immunity. In a yeast two-hybrid system, GmPUB1-1 also interacted with a number of other RxLR effectors including Avr1d, while Avr1b and Avr1d interacted with a number of other infection-induced GmPUB proteins, suggesting that the pathogen uses a multiplex of interactions of RxLR effectors with GmPUB proteins to modulate host immunity.

The whole-genome sequencing-based bulked segregant analysis (WGS-BSA) has facilitated the mapping candidate causal variations for cloning target plant genes. Here, we report an improved WGS-BSA method termed as M2-seq to expedite the mapping candidate mutant loci by studying just M2 generation. It is an efficient mutant gene mapping tool, rapid, and comparable to the previously reported approaches, such as Mutmap and Mutmap+ that require studying M3 or advanced selfed generations. In M2-seq, background variations among the M2 populations can be removed efficiently without knowledge of the variations of the wild-type progenitor plant. Furthermore, the use of absolute delta single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) index values can effectively remove the background variation caused by repulsion phase linkages of adjacent mutant alleles; and thereby facilitating the identification of the causal mutation in target genes. Here, we demonstrated the application of M2-seq in successfully mapping the genomic regions harboring causal mutations for mutant phenotypes among 10 independent M2 populations of soybean. The mapping candidate mutant genes just in M2 generation with the aid of the M2-seq method should be particularly useful in expediting gene cloning especially among the plant species with long generation time.

IntroductionCold stress adversely affects the growth and development of plants and limits the geographical distribution of many plant species. Accumulation of spontaneous mutations shapes the adaptation of plant species to diverse climatic conditions.MethodsThe genome-wide association study of the phenotypic variation gathered by a newly designed phenomic platform with the over six millions single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) loci distributed across the genomes of 417 Arabidopsis natural variants collected from various geographical regions revealed 33 candidate cold responsive genes.ResultsInvestigation of at least two independent insertion mutants for 29 genes identified 16 chilling tolerance genes governing diverse genetic mechanisms. Five of these genes encode novel leucine-rich repeat domain-containing proteins including three nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) proteins. Among the 16 identified chilling tolerance genes, ADS2 and ACD6 are the only two chilling tolerance genes identified earlier.DiscussionThe 12.5% overlap between the genes identified in this genome-wide association study (GWAS) of natural variants with those discovered previously through forward and reverse genetic approaches suggests that chilling tolerance is a complex physiological process governed by a large number of genetic mechanisms.
