The model legume Medicago truncatula is well suited to study the interactions established in the root compartment with pathogenic or symbiotic microorganisms. Over the past years, the team has developed different approaches and methodologies based on the exploitation of genetic and genomic resources available for M. truncatula in order to:
1- study the genetic bases of quantitative resistance to Aphanomyces euteiches, the main parasite of pea in France and Europe.
2- analyse the connexions between immunity and symbiosis in legume species.
3- identify selection signatures in the genome of M. truncatula which could reflect evolutionary adaptation to root microorganisms.
4.. identify Aphanomyces genes playing a role in pathogenicity and adaptation to the host (effectors)
Crosstalk between immunity and symbiosis in Medicago truncatula
In their environment, legumes can be hosts of symbiotic and/or pathogenic microorganisms, successively or simultaneously. Both types of interactions leading to opposite responses (acceptance or rejection, respectively), several questions arise.
How plants can distinguish « friends and foes » among microbes whose nature and molecular signals are often very close? Are there any common molecular actors used by plants both in symbiotic or pathogenic conditions? Does the presence of one type of microorganism in the plant modify its response towards the other type of microbe, at a local but also at a systemic scale?
For these different questions, several results have been obtained in the team and/or are being currently analysed in the frame of the ANR Projects « NICE CROPS » (2015-2018) and « PSYCHE » (2017-2020). For instance, plant phenotyping and transcriptomic analyses of symbiotic mutants infected with A. euteiches (or other pathogens) allowed us to show that the NFP gene (coding for one of the putative Nod factor receptors) positively regulates plant resistance. Conversely, the MtNFY-A1 transcription factor notably involved in the regulation of nodule development, as well as the cytokinin receptor MtCRE1, are both negative regulators of plant immunity. GWAS analyses are underway to identify plant genes involved in the perception of and response to microbial (lipo)-chitooligosaccharidic signals.
Evolutionary genetics of plant adaptation to root microorganisms
The genetic architecture of plant responses to root pathogenic and symbiotic microorganisms shows a complexity which is associated with a long history of co-evolution, but also with recent dynamics due to global changes. With the aim to improve our understanding of the genetic bases of plant adaptation to root microorganisms, we have been using high-throughput genetic approaches such as Genome-Wide Association Studies and population genomics through “Selection Scan”, by using massive SNP data available in Medicago truncatula (http://medicagohapmap.org/).
The number and the complexity of genetic actors interacting in a plant to end up in proper adaptive responses in the frame of interactions with microorganisms has led us to develop new population genomic methods to identify co-adapted gene networks, by exploiting the genetic signature of selection on interacting genes, using SNP data.
Following the current development of population genetic methods in the frame of the ANR Project “DeCoD” – (2017-2021), these methods will be applied to SNP data at the genome scale in Medicago truncatula, and potentially to other plant species.
Plants, like animals, are exposed to a myriad of potential microbial pathogens, but diseases are still the exception, at least in natural ecosystems. Without any adaptive immune system, plants have developed an innate immune system that efficiently detects potentially dangerous microbes. One similarity between plant and animal innate immunity is that both are activated by the perception of “non-self” secreted Pathogen (or Microbial) Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs) through membrane-bound pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) at the plant cell surface. Responses to PAMPs include a set of biochemical and transcriptional responses leading to the first inducible layer of defense called PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI).
To establish infection, pathogens must evade, suppress, or otherwise manipulate PTI. This is achieved by the secretion of proteins called effectors which act either outside or inside plant cells to target and perturb signaling, regulatory or mechanistic processes associated with defense. Effectors may themselves be targeted by a second layer of defense called effector-triggered immunity (ETI), since their presence inside or outside host cells may be detected by resistance proteins (R genes). ETI is stronger than PTI and often accompanied by localized programmed cell death (hypersensitive response (HR)) to counteract the pathogen. Effectors that are recognized by the R proteins are termed avirulence (AVR) proteins.
The intracellular oomycete effectors
The completion of the genome sequence of several Phytophthora species including P. infestans and P. sojae has led to the identification of a huge and, rapidly diverging superfamily of proteins, encoded by 100-700 genes per genome. Proteins in this family use the N-terminal motif RXLR-EER to cross the host plasma membrane. Once inside the cells, the so-called RXLR proteins are presumed to modulate host defense signaling for the benefit of the parasite, and are thus referred to as effectors.
Another effector family called Crinklers (for Crinkling and Necrosis; CRN), has been also discovered in Phytophthora sp (> 200 genes). CRNs are modular proteins that comprise an N-terminal signal peptide, followed by a domain defined by the conserved but variable LXLFLAK motif involved in the translocation of CRN inside the host cell. The C-terminal domain is highly variable and is presumed to be involved in CRN function. So far, the function of CRN proteins is unknown.
The intracellular Aphanomyces euteiches CRN-effector family
Mining of the Aphanomyces genome revealed CRN genes, but not RXLR genes. A comparative approach is used to identify family genes associated with pathogenicity on particular hosts (plant, animals…). To this end, sequencing of several Aphanomyces has been completed. Genes coding for secreted proteins and induced during pathogenesis are functionally characterized.
