Differentially expressed genes in chickpea, (Cicer arietinum L.) during root infection by Fusarium oxysportan f sp. ciceri Racel, were identified using cDNA-RAPD and cDNA-AFLP approaches. The former employed decamer primers on cDNA template and revealed nine differentially expressed transcripts in the resistant-infected chickpea variety. Among the 2000 transcript-derived fragments (TDFs) screened by cDNA-AFLP, 273 were differentially expressed in chickpea roots during Fusaritan infection. Only 13.65% of the TDFs were differentially regulated during pathogen challenge, while the other 86% were expressed non-differentially during the process of pathogen infection in chickpea roots. Nineteen TDFs, which expressed differentially in the resistant-infected chickpea variety were cloned and sequenced. Two of these TDFs were similar to transcription factors like WRKY proteins and 14-3-3 proteins, while three TDFs represented the NBS-LRR-type gene sequences. Two TDFs had sequence identity to genes known to have function in defense. The RAPID TDF CaFRi60 showed sequence identity to gamma-glutamyl-cysteine synthetase. Among the TDFs examined by cDNA-AFLP, 19 were confirmed by Reverse Northern blot to be differentially expressed. The data confirms the effectiveness of the cDNA-AFLP technique in detecting differentially expressed genes during pathogenesis. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Ocimum species produces a varied mix of different metabolites that imparts immense medicinal properties. To explore this chemo-diversity, we initially carried out metabolite profiling of different tissues of five Ocimum species and identified the major terpenes. This analysis broadly classified these five Ocimum species into two distinct chemotypes namely, phenylpropanoid-rich and terpene-rich. In particular, -caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene, camphor, borneol and selinene were major terpenes present in these Ocimum species. Subsequently, transcriptomic analysis of pooled RNA samples from different tissues of Ocimum gratissimum, O. tenuiflorum and O. kilimandscharicum identified 38 unique transcripts of terpene synthase (TPS) gene family. Full-length gene cloning, followed by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of three TPS transcripts were carried out along with their expression in various tissues. Terpenoid metabolite and expression profiling of candidate TPS genes in various tissues of Ocimum species revealed spatial variances. Further, putative TPS contig 19414 (TPS1) was selected to corroborate its role in terpene biosynthesis. Agrobacterium-mediated transient over-expression assay of TPS1 in the leaves of O. kilimandscharicum and subsequent metabolic and gene expression analyses indicated it as a cis–terpineol synthase. Overall, present study provided deeper understanding of terpene diversity in Ocimum species and might help in the enhancement of their terpene content through advanced biotechnological approaches.

Ceropegia bulbosa is an important medicinal plant, used in the treatment of various ailments including diarrhea, dysentery, and syphilis. This is primarily attributed to the presence of pharmaceutically active secondary metabolites, especially cerpegin. As this plant belongs to an endemic threatened category, genomic resources are not available hampering exploration on the molecular basis of cerpegin accumulation till now. Therefore, we undertook high-throughput metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses using different tissues from two varieties namely, C. bulbosa var. bulbosa and C. bulbosa var. lushii. Metabolomic analysis revealed spatial and differential accumulation of various metabolites. We chemically synthesized and characterized the cerpegin and its derivatives by liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Importantly, these comparisons suggested the presence of cerpegin and 5-allyl cerpegin in all C. bulbosa tissues. Further, de novo transcriptome analysis indicated the presence of significant transcripts for secondary metabolic pathways through the Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes database. Tissue-specific profiling of transcripts and metabolites showed a significant correlation, suggesting the intricate mechanism of cerpegin biosynthesis. The expression of potential candidate genes from the proposed cerpegin biosynthetic pathway was further validated by qRT-PCR and NanoString nCounter. Overall, our findings propose a potential route of cerpegin biosynthesis. Identified transcripts and metabolites have built a foundation as new molecular resources that could facilitate future research on biosynthesis, regulation, and engineering of cerpegin or other important metabolites in such non-model plants.

Diamondback moth (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae; Plutella xylostella L.) is a specialist insect of the Brassicaceae family, damaging economically important crops, such as cabbage and cauliflower. Glucosinolates, also known as `mustard oil bombs' are present in all Brassicaceae members, of which sinigrin (allyl-glucosinolate or 2-propenylglucosinolate) is a major aliphatic compound. During herbivory, glucosinolates are converted to toxic isothiocyanates that deter insect pests. P. xylostella possesses glucosinolate sulfatases that desulfate them. Such a conversion renders them unfit for degradation to toxic products. Changes in the larval performance prompted us for RNA sequencing to understand probable adaptation mechanism under sinigrin stress. Differentially expressed genes were found to be related to larval cuticle proteins. Further, gene ontology and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) analyses depict genes belonging to the categories, integral component of membrane, cellular processes and those involved in biosynthesis of fatty acids. Upregulation of cuticular genes viz. larval cuticle protein-17 (LCP-17), cuticular protein-19 (2CP-19) and ATP binding cassette transporter C7 (ABCC7), ABCC16 was validated by qRT-PCR. Liquid chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry analysis of whole larvae feeding on sinigrin and their separated cuticle, depicted abundance of fatty acids. Changes in the topography of the larval cuticle were evident by scanning electron microscopy. Expression of PxABCH1 was corroborated to its role in the transport of cuticular lipids. Notably, molecular docking of PxABCH1 with cuticular fatty acids showed favorable binding interactions. To summarize, integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses suggest that in response to a diet containing a high dose of sinigrin, P. xylostella re-programs metabolic pathways related to fatty acid biosynthesis that directly influence insect development.
