Abstract

Over the past decades, crop yields have risen in parallel with increasing use of fossil-fuel derived nitrogen (N) fertilizers, but with concomitant negative impacts on climate and water resources. There is a need for more sustainable agricultural practices, and biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) could be part of the solution. A variety of nitrogen-fixing, epiphytic and endophytic plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) are known to stimulate plant growth. However, compared to the rhizobium-legume symbiosis, little mechanistic information is available as to how PGPB affect plant metabolism. Therefore, we investigated the metabolic changes in roots of the model grass species Setaria viridis upon endophytic colonization by Herbaspirillum seropedicae SmR1 (fix⁺) or a fix^- mutant strain (SmR54), compared to uninoculated roots. Endophytic colonization of the root is highly localized and, hence, analysis of whole root segments dilutes the metabolic signature of those few cells impacted by the bacteria. Therefore, we utilized in situ laser ablation electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LAESI-MS) to sample only those root segments at or adjacent to the sites of bacterial colonization. We report netabolites involved in purine, zeatin, and riboflavin pathways were significantly more abundant in inoculated plants while metabolites indicative of nitrogen, starch, and sucrose metabolism were reducedmore »« less

Robust biological nitrogen fixation in a model grass–bacterial association

Journal Article Pankievicz, Vânia C. S. ; do Amaral, Fernanda P. ; Santos, Karina F. D. N. ; ... - The Plant Journal

Summary Nitrogen‐fixing rhizobacteria can promote plant growth; however, it is controversial whether biological nitrogen fixation ( BNF ) from associative interaction contributes to growth promotion. The roots of Setaria viridis , a model C ₄ grass, were effectively colonized by bacterial inoculants resulting in a significant enhancement of growth. Nitrogen‐13 tracer studies provided direct evidence for tracer uptake by the host plant and incorporation into protein. Indeed, plants showed robust growth under nitrogen‐limiting conditions when inoculated with an ammonium‐excreting strain of Azospirillum brasilense . ¹¹ C‐labeling experiments showed that patterns in central carbon metabolism and resource allocation exhibited by nitrogen‐starvedmore »« less

Laser‐ablation electrospray ionization mass spectrometry with ion mobility separation reveals metabolites in the symbiotic interactions of soybean roots and rhizobia

Journal Article Stopka, Sylwia A. ; Agtuca, Beverly J. ; Koppenaal, David W. ; ... - The Plant Journal

Summary Technologies enabling in situ metabolic profiling of living plant systems are invaluable for understanding physiological processes and could be used for rapid phenotypic screening (e.g., to produce plants with superior biological nitrogen‐fixing ability). The symbiotic interaction between legumes and nitrogen‐fixing soil bacteria results in a specialized plant organ (i.e., root nodule) where the exchange of nutrients between host and endosymbiont occurs. Laser‐ablation electrospray ionization mass spectrometry ( LAESI ‐ MS ) is a method that can be performed under ambient conditions requiring minimal sample preparation. Here, we employed LAESI ‐ MS to explore the well characterized symbiosis between soybean (more »« less

N-dependent dynamics of root growth and nitrate and ammonium uptake are altered by the bacterium Herbaspirillum seropedicae in the cereal model Brachypodium distachyon

Journal Article Kuang, Weiqi ; Sanow, Stefan ; Kelm, Jana M. ; ... - Journal of Experimental Botany

Nitrogen (N) fixation in cereals by root-associated bacteria is a promising solution for reducing use of chemical N fertilizers in agriculture. However, plant and bacterial responses are unpredictable across environments. We hypothesized that cereal responses to N-fixing bacteria are dynamic, depending on N supply and time. To quantify the dynamics, a gnotobiotic, fabricated ecosystem (EcoFAB) was adapted to analyse N mass balance, to image shoot and root growth, and to measure gene expression of Brachypodium distachyon inoculated with the N-fixing bacterium Herbaspirillum seropedicae. Phenotyping throughput of EcoFAB-N was 25–30 plants h^-1 with open software and imaging systems. Herbaspirillum seropedicae inoculationmore »« less

Genome-wide fitness profiling reveals molecular mechanisms that bacteria use to interact with Trichoderma atroviride exometabolites

Journal Article Villalobos-Escobedo, José Manuel ; Mercado-Esquivias, Maria Belen ; Adams, Catharine ; ... - PLoS Genetics

Trichoderma spp. are ubiquitous rhizosphere fungi capable of producing several classes of secondary metabolites that can modify the dynamics of the plant-associated microbiome. However, the bacterial-fungal mechanisms that mediate these interactions have not been fully characterized. Here, a random barcode transposon-site sequencing (RB-TnSeq) approach was employed to identify bacterial genes important for fitness in the presence of Trichoderma atroviride exudates. We selected three rhizosphere bacteria with RB-TnSeq mutant libraries that can promote plant growth: the nitrogen fixers Klebsiella michiganensis M5aI and Herbaspirillum seropedicae SmR1, and Pseudomonas simiae WCS417. As a non-rhizosphere species, Pseudomonas putida KT2440 was also included. From themore »« less
