ABSTRACT

Rapeseed-mustard, the oleiferous Brassica species are important oilseed crops cultivated all over the globe. Mustard aphid Lipaphis erysimi (L.) Kaltenbach is a major threat to the cultivation of rapeseed-mustard. Wild mustard Rorippa indica (L.) Hiern shows tolerance to mustard aphids as a nonhost and hence is an important source for the bioprospecting of potential resistance genes and defense measures to manage mustard aphids sustainably. We performed mRNA sequencing of the R. indica plant uninfested and infested by the mustard aphids, harvested at 24 hours post-infestation. Following quality control, the high-quality reads were subjected to de novo assembly of the transcriptome. As there is no genomic information available for this potential wild plant, the raw reads will be useful for further bioinformatics analysis and the sequence information of the assembled transcripts will be helpful to design primers for the characterization of specific gene sequences. In this study, we also used the generated resource to comprehensively analyse the global profile of differential gene expression in R. indica in response to infestation by mustard aphids. The functional enrichment analysis of the differentially expressed genes reveals a significant immune response and suggests the possibility of chitin-induced defense signaling.

ABSTRACT

Mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (L.) Kaltenbach is a perpetual annual threat in the cultivation of rapeseed- mustard (Brassica spp.) crop in tropical and sub-tropical climate. Cultivated Brassica germplasm has failed so far to provide any source of resistance. Wild germplasm is a potential source of resistance against many threatening herbivores. On wild germplasm screening, we noted that the wild crucifer Rorippa indica (L.) Hiern confers resistance against L. erysimi. In the present study L. erysimi challenged transcriptome of R. indica was compared to un-infested R. indica sample to get a molecular insight about the aphid resistance mechanism and identify the candidate defense response genes. Cloning, sequencing and in silico sequence analysis of complimentary DNA amplified fragment length polymorphism identified 116 differentially expressed transcript derived fragments revealed thirty candidates which are from different functional categories including redox regulation, signalling, photosynthesis, structure, metabolism, defense response as well as a few of unknown function. Twenty four identifications were then studied by quantitative real time RT PCR analysis at 6, 12, 24 and 48 hour time point post infestation to understand the early-to-late defense response through their relative gene expression profiles. Seventeen fragments showed significant up or down regulation at p<0.05 level. The response was influenced by different phytohormonal signalling pathways simultaneously. The candidate defense response expressed sequence tags specifically for the resistance genes identified in this study have implication in building desired mustard aphid resistance in susceptible rapeseed-mustard plants in future. This is the first molecular report on crucifer defense response against mustard aphid L. erysimi.
