Abstract
- Expression of the central circadian oscillator components CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED 1 (CCA1), TIMING OF CAB1 (TOC1), GIGANTEA (GI), and CONSTANS (CO) occurs in Glycine max root cells (syncytia) parasitized by the nematode Heterodera glycines while undergoing resistance, indicating a defense role. GmCCA1-1 relative transcript abundance (RTA) in roots experiencing overexpression (OE) or RNA interference (RNAi) is characterized by rhythmic oscillations, compared to a ribosomal protein gene (GmRPS21) control. A GmCCA1-1 RTA change, advancing by 12 h, exists in H. glycines -infected as compared to uninfected controls in wild-type, H. glycines -resistant, G. max [Peking/PI 548402]. The G. max [Peking/PI 548402] transgenic controls exhibit the RTA change by 4 h post infection (hpi), not consistently occurring in the H. glycines -susceptible G. max [Williams 82/PI 518671] until 56 hpi. GmCCA1-1 expression is observed to be reduced in H. glycines -infected GmCCA1-1 -OE roots as compared to non-infected transgenic roots with no significant change observed among RNAi roots. The GmCCA1-1 expression in transgenic GmCCA1-1 -OE roots remains higher than control and RNAi roots. Decreased GmCCA1-1 mRNA among infected roots shows the altered expression is targeted by H. glycines. Gene expression of proven defense genes including 9 different mitogen activated protein kinases (GmMAPK s), NON-RACE SPECIFIC DISEASE RESISTANCE 1 (GmNDR1-1), RPM1-INTERACTING PROTEIN 4 (GmRIN4-4), and the secreted xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase 43 (GmXTH43) in GmCCA1- 1-OE and GmCCA1-1 -RNAi roots, compared to controls, reveal a significant role of GmCCA1-1 expression in roots undergoing defense to H. glycines parasitism. The observation that GmCCA1-1 regulates GmXTH43 expression links the central circadian oscillator to the functionality of the secretion system. • Central circadian oscillator genes are expressed in nematode-parasitized root cells undergoing defense. • The overexpression of the central circadian oscillator genes suppresses parasitism. • The central circadian oscillator gene CCA1-1 regulates the expression of proven defense genes.
