Resumo
A citricultura brasileira responde por 85% das exportações de suco concentrado do mundo, mesmo enfrentando graves problemas de ordem fitossanitária. Dentre as doenças que mais afetam sua produtividade encontra-se a clorose variegada do citros (CVC), causada pela Xylella fastidiosa. Cultivares dentro das espécies de Citrus apresentam respostas diferentes em relação à susceptibilidade à CVC. Enquanto cultivares de laranja doce (Citrus sinensis L. Osb) são bastante suscetíveis, as tangerinas (Citrus reticulata Blanco) por sua vez são consideradas tolerantes. Resultados prévios do nosso grupo sugerem que a resistência deve estar efetivamente envolvida com a ativação de vias de sinalização, não sendo somente consequência de menor bloqueio dos vasos do xilema. Portanto, a hipótese desse trabalho é que a resistência da tangerina Poncan e a suscetibilidade de laranja doce à CVC pode ser comparada através da avaliação da expressão diferencial de genes durante o processo de infecção. Desse modo, o objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a expressão de genes dessas duas espécies submetidas à infecção pela bactéria. Para tanto plantas de laranja Pera e tangerina Poncan foram desafiadas com X. fastidiosa e as coletas das folhas infectadas e seus respectivos controles feitas em diferentes tempos (1, 7, 14 e 21 dias). Esse material foi utilizado para extração de DNA total que foi usado na confirmação, por RT-qPCR, da presença da bactéria. Após essa verificação, o RNA foi extraído em pools para a construção das bibliotecas subtrativas supressivas (SSHs). Foram feitas seis bibliotecas, porém, não foram obtidas sequencias de qualidade. Em função do baixo rendimento das SSHs, optou-se por proceder as análises com RNA-seq utilizando tecidos xilemáticos de tangerina Poncan, com um dia após...
The Brazilian citrus industry accounts for 85% of exports of concentrated juice in the world despite facing serious plant health problems. Among the main diseases that affect its productivity is the citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC), caused by Xylella fastidiosa. Citrus species present different responses in relation to susceptibility to CVC. While sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osb) is very susceptible, mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) is considered tolerant. Previous results from our group suggest that this tolerance observed in mandarin effectively involves activation of signaling pathways and is not only consequence of limited blockage of the xylem vessels. Therefore, the hypothesis of this study is that the tolerance of Ponkan mandarin and susceptibility of sweet orange to CVC can be compared evaluating the differential expression of genes during the infection process, being that the objective of this study. For that, Ponkan mandarin and sweet orange plants were challenged with X. fastidiosa. Infected/non-infected leaves were collected at different times (1, 7, 14, and 21 days). This material was used for extraction of total DNA, which was used for confirming the presence of bacteria by RT-qPCR. After this verification, the RNA was extracted in pools for the construction of suppressive subtractive libraries (SSHs). Six libraries were prepared, but good quality sequences were not obtained. Due to the low efficiency of SSHs, it was decided to proceed with RNA-seq analysis using xylem tissues of mandarin Ponkan, one day after infection with X. fastidiosa. In this analysis it was obtained 35,344,265 transcripts for the non-infected library and 37,326,339 for the infected one. These transcripts were mapped in the whole reference genome of Citrus clementine by using TopHat software. The contigs generated... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
