    Stage-specific reprogramming of gene expression characterizes Lr48-mediated adult plant leaf rust resistance in wheat
    (Springer, 2015) Dhariwal, Raman; Gahlaut, Vijay; Govindraj, Bhaganagare R.; Singh, Dharmendra; Mathur, Saloni; Vyas, Shailendra; Bandopadhyay, Rajib; Khurana, Jitendra Paul; Tyagi, Akhilesh K.; Prabhu, Kumble Vinod; Mukhopadhyay, Kunal; Balyan, Harindra Singh; Gupta, Pushpendra Kumar
    Wheat genotype CSP44 carrying a recessive gene Lr48 exhibits adult plant resistance (APR; incompatible reaction) but gives a compatible reaction (susceptibility) at the seedling stage against leaf rust. A comparative gene expression analysis involving cDNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism (cDNA-AFLP) and quantitative PCR (qPCR) was carried out for incompatible and compatible reactions in the genotype CSP44. cDNA-AFLP analysis was conducted using RNA samples that were isolated from flag leaves following inoculation with leaf rust race 77-5 (the most virulent race) and also after mock inoculation. As many as 298 of a total of 493 expressed transcript-derived fragments (TDFs) exhibited differential expression (262 upregulated and 36 downregulated). Of these 298 TDFs, 48 TDFs were eluted from gels, re-amplified, cloned, and sequenced. Forty two of these 48 TDFs had homology with known genes involved in the following biological processes: energy production, metabolism, transport, signaling, defense response, plant-pathogen interaction, transcriptional regulation, translation, and proteolysis. The functions of the remaining six TDFs could not be determined; apparently, these represented some novel genes. The qPCR analysis for 18 TDFs (with known and unknown functions, but showing major differences in expression) was conducted using RNA isolated from the seedlings as well as from the adult plants. The expression of at least 11 TDFs was induced and that of 4 other TDFs attenuated or remained near normal in adult plants following leaf rust inoculations. The remaining three TDFs had non-specific/developmental stage-specific expression. Functional annotation of TDFs that were upregulated suggest that the APR was supported by transient recruitment and reprogramming of processes like perception and recognition of pathogen effector by receptors, followed by CDPK and MAPK signaling, transport, metabolism, and energy release.

    Analysis of differentially expressed genes in leaf rust infected bread wheat involving seeding resistance gene Lr28
    (CSIRO Publishing, 2011) Dhariwal, Raman; Vyas, Shailendra; Bhaganagare, Govindraj R.; Jha, Shailendra K.; Khurana, Jitendra P.; Tyagi, Akhilesh K.; Prabhu, Kumble V.; Balyan, Harindra S.; Gupta, Pushpendra K.
    Genome-wide transcriptome analysis of seedling resistance to leaf rust conferred by Lr28 gene in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was conducted to identify differentially expressed genes during incompatible interaction. A virulent leaf rust race 77–5 was used for inoculation of resistant (HD2329 + Lr28) and susceptible (HD2329 – Lr28) wheat NILs and cDNA-AFLP analyses was carried out. As many as 223 differential transcripts appeared following leaf rust inoculation; these included 122 transcripts that appeared exclusively in resistant NIL, whereas 39 transcripts appeared both in resistant and susceptible NILs. Sequence analyses of 37 transcripts, which appeared in the resistant NIL revealed that 15 transcripts had homology with genes involved in protein synthesis, signal transduction, transport, disease resistance and metabolism. The functions of remaining 22 transcripts could not be determined; these included six novel genes reported for the first time in wheat. Specific primers could be designed for 18 of the 37 transcripts, which included genes with putative and unknown functions. Quantitative real time PCR analysis was conducted using these 18 pairs of primers. A majority (13) of these transcripts appeared within 48 h reaching a peak value at 96 h in resistant NIL signifying their role in providing leaf rust resistance.
