Research Topics

In natural environment, plants interact with a wide variety of microbes, including bacteria, fungi and oomycetes. Only 10 years ago, it was supposed that most of these microbes were present at the plant surfaces, a small fraction of them being able to penetrate root tissues. Depending on the resulting effect on plant, such invasive microbes were defined as parasitic, mutualistic and sometimes endophytic when the beneficial or detrimental effect on plant where not easy to characterize. Thanks to the next generation DNA sequencing approaches, it was discovered that plant tissues are not sterile, but host an internal microbiome whose composition is a subset of the external microbial community. This opens a new front of science on the incidence on plant development and immunity of microbial communities outside and inside plant tissues. Particularly, roots are associated with complex soil microbes that impact plant health, growth and productivity. Whereas numerous studies investigate the composition of root associated microbiome – in roots and rhizosphere – less is known on its functioning and its incidence on the life of plants.

The team Microbial Interactions in Rhizosphere and Roots (RHIZO) investigates how microbe-microbe interactions drive the outcome of plant-microbe interactions. For that we rely on our favorite microbial models: Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (Rhizophagus irregularis), Oomycota (Aphanomyces euteiches and Pythium oligandrum), Actinomycota (Streptomyces sp.) and Rhizobia (Sinorhizobium and Bradyrhizobium).

We consider these microbes not only as plant-interacting organisms, but also as organisms interacting with other microbes in the rhizosphere. By combining approaches of functional and comparative genomics, metagenomics and molecular cell biology, our goal is to study the influence on plant-microbe interactions of microbe-microbe interactions in roots and in the rhizosphere.

The RHIZO team is organized around three mains topics presented below

 

 

Oomycetes Effectors

Oomycetes are filamentous eukaryotic organisms whose close cousins ​​are brown algae and diatoms. Found in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, oomycetes cause a great deal of damage in various ecosystems. Virulent oomycetes produce molecules called effectors, allowing them to counteract host immune defenses and / or disturb the physiology of the host. These effectors, often of a protein nature, interact with cellular components (DNA, RNA, protein …) in order to facilitate host colonization. In recent years, the massive sequencing of many of them, such as the late blight of the potato Phytophthora infestans, has brought to light the diversity and the very large number of effectors (several hundred per species). This finding suggests that Oomycetes have the ability to set up different invasion strategies when in contact with a host. In addition, it is assumed that some of these effectors participate in the molecular dialogue that can be established between microorganisms in the environment close to the roots of the host (Rhizosphere). For a very large majority of these effectors, for which no analysis can predict their actual function, their implications in plant-microorganism and / or microbe-microbe interactions still remain to be determined.

Why are we interested in the effectors of the soil-borne oomycete Aphanomyces euteiches?

Devastating plant and animal parasites are found in the Aphanomyces genus of oomycete.

We are interested by Aphanomyces euteiches, a soil-borne pathogen of many legumes such as pea or alfalfa that limit the cultivation of these plants throughout the world. Since no chemical treatment or fully resistant legumes are available against Aphanomyces root rot, crop rotations are recommanded to limit the disease. A. euteiches also interacts with the model legume Medicago truncatula, which makes it possible to develop analyses that can include different types of symbiotic and pathogenic soil partners. Analysis of the genome of A. euteiches, available in the AphanoDB database (http://www.polebio.lrsv.ups-tlse.fr/aphano/) revealed to us a large repertoire of effectors with particularities specific to the genus Aphanomyces. A. euteiches genome is characterized by the absence of RxLR effectors, the presence of a large number of Crinkler effectors (CRNs) and of multiple Small Secreted Proteins (SSP).

Numerous CRNs and SSPs are detected in the nucleus of host cells, suggesting that affecting the genomic integrity of the host may be a novel mode of action for oomycetes. Our recent work has revealed the ability of a CRN effector to cause DNA damage, and of an SSP effector to cause nucleolar stress in the plant host. Having set up FRET-FLIM imaging techniques to characterize DNA / protein interactions in vivo, we are now focusing on specifying the mode of action of effectors interacting with nucleic acids both in plants (Microbial Effectors) and in microorganisms / microorganisms interactions (Ecological Effectors).

Efficiency of mycorrhizal symbiosis and competitiveness

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are known as plant mutualists able to interact with an extremely large spectrum of hosts. The AM fungus model Rhizophagus irregularis, for instance, can virtually colonize any plant species that can establish AM symbiosis (estimated to 71% of land plant species). On the other side, each plant can be colonized simultaneously by tenth of different genotypes. AM fungi compete with each other to colonize plants, and host genotype-AM fungal genotype associations are selected based on the mutual nutritional rewards obtained by both partners. As a consequence, AM fungi have host preference, leading to more or less marked benefits for the plant.

We hypothesize that this symbiotic efficiency is higher when the couple plant/fungus are originating from the same location. It is this notion that we have explored through the study of diversity of AM fungal species and strains (of Rhizophagus irregularis) associated with maize and wheat plants, collected in domestication and non-endemic areas (respectively Mexico and Iran). After the studies on infectivity and symbiotic efficiency, the concept of competitiveness is being decrypted through the development of tools permitting strain quantification into co-inoculated roots.

Genomics of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) Fungi

Associated to the previous works, we investigate the genomic signatures that support symbiotic efficiency for AM fungi. We focus on R. irregularis as this species is ubiquitous and present in annual crop plants. By comparing genomes of 6 strains of R. irregularis, we previously identified an unexpected intraspecific genome plasticity, with a pangenome estimated to 150 000 genes. Based on a new version of genome assembly and a specific pipeline for expressome analysis, we investigate transcriptomic signatures that could explain variations in the symbiotic efficiency of different R. irregularis strains according to different host plants.

Symbiotic efficiency of Rhizobia & root development

Several soil bacteria collectively known as rhizobia can trigger the formation of symbiosis-dedicated organs in legumes: the root nodules, in which nitrogen fixation takes place. While a great deal of knowledge about symbiotic signaling and nitrogen fixation is now available, little is known about the tight and reciprocal links that exist between the maintenance of nodule development and an efficient interaction. Plant and bacterial factors are indeed required for the robust development of symbiotic nodules in legumes, which in turn, is necessary for the nitrogen fixation process, and reciprocally. Using Bradyrhizobium and Sinorhizobium model systems, we aim at identifying new symbiotic signals and mechanisms that are needed for the maintenance and the efficiency of rhizobial symbiosis. In addition, using the Medicago model system, we are characterizing how basic mechanisms of root development are used to rewire plant cells for AM and root nodule endosymbioses. In this frame, we are using single-cell approaches to decipher the transcriptome reprogramming of newly formed lateral roots, root nodules and AM-infected cells in Medicago and soybean (collab. S Bensmihen, LIPME and B Guillotin, NYU).
To reflect more natural and complex environments, we have established experimental systems and initiated approaches using diverse Legume crops (lupine, soybean, garden pea) to understand the effect of complex microbe-microbe interactions on symbiotic efficiency (collab. B Gourion, LIPME), with the ultimate goal to tackle these questions at the field scale.

Synergy of AM fungi and soil bacteria to improve AM symbiosis efficiency

Whereas AM fungi are known for their role in providing phosphorus to plant (P), the ability of extraradical mycelium to recruit organic and insoluble forms of mineral P in soil is limited.

AM fungi were described to be associated with bacteria in their vicinity – forming a microbial hyphosphere – that solubilize and mineralize organic and insoluble P. We study the association of R. irregularis with soil bacteria involved in P acquisition.

Endophytes

Endophyte fungi are fungi that can live into plant tissues. To the contrary of AM fungi which are necessarily endophytic and mutualists, endophytes which belong to Mucoro- Asco- and Basidiomycota are not always strictly endophytes, nor beneficial. However, thanks to the Next Generation Sequencing, more and more studies describe their diversity and suggest a link between this diversity and some stress resistance (drought and heavy metals, for example). After this step of description, the aim now is to decipher the relationships between endophytes and AM fungi hosted in the same root systems, as well as the cultural conditions that could promote the endophyte diversity and its ecological services.

Impact of selected microorganisms of rhizospheric microbiota

Root microbiota is an extraordinary complex biotic environment where microorganisms are confronted to one another and shaped by the composition of root exudate. In turn, microbiota plays a tremendous role in role helping plant to acquire nutrients and to fight against pathogenic microorganism.

Among the millions of microbial species which are present in root microbiota, some species can plays particular role by regulating the composition of microbiota, avoiding the development of pathogenic species, favouring the interaction of rots with symbiotic partners or stimulating plant development. In this research theme, conducting mostly in the frame of the Joint laboratory BioPlantproducts in collaboration with industrial partners (DE SANGOSSE and Agronutrition) we investigate molecular mechanisms underlying the activity of selected strains, an oomycete, Pythium oligandrum and bacterial strains belonging to the Streptomyces genus.

Incidence of pathogenic oomycetes on rhizosphere microbiota

Despite their low proportion in the soil, oomycetes can have dramatic effect in plant growth and probably on the composition of rhizosphere microbiota. By focusing on two oomycetes, Aphanomyces euteiches, a legume pathogen, and Pythium oligandrum, a mycoparasite, we investigate the effect of soilborne oomycetes on the establishment of pathogenic and symbiotic interactions and more broadly on the composition of the root microbiota.

Pythium oligandrum is a ubiquitous soil-dwelling oomycete displaying strong antifungal and anti-oomycete activities. P oligandrum is also able to stimulate plant growth and interact with plant roots without causing disease symptoms. Our objective is to investigate how P. oligandrum interacts with pathogenic and symbiotic fungi and influences their interaction with plant roots.

Incidence of Streptomycetes on rhizosphere microbiota

Streptomycetes are ubiquitous soil filamentous bacteria producing several antibiotic compounds among which fungicides and bactericides, and also able to produce some phytohormones.

The identification in their genome of original gene clusters involved in antibiotic synthesis raises the question of the incidence of these soil bacteria on our microbial models, and more generally on the root microbiota. For this project we used Streptomyces strains selected following a screening strategy to identify bacteria able to induce the plant immune system and to produce antifungal metabolites. Genetic and metabolomics tools are developed to identify specialized metabolites produced by streptomycetes in the rhizosphere and how their production is regulated. Importantly, the impact of streptomycete in the root microbiota and the role of their secondary metabolites are assessed notably on Medicago roots interacting with pathogens (A. euteiches) or symbiotic microorganisms (AM fungi, rhizobia).
