Abstract

We used SuperSAGE, an improved version of serial analysis of gene expression, to explore transcriptome changes early in the L 3-mediated resistance response of pepper plants against a tobamovirus. Capsicum chinense plants homozygous for the L 3 resistance gene were infected with virulent and avirulent strains of Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV). Plants were maintained at a temperature nonpermissive for the resistance gene to allow the viruses to spread, then transferred to a permissive temperature for 3 h and subsequently analyzed. In the incompatible reaction, we selected 152 SuperSAGE tags (each 26 nucleotides long) possibly corresponding to upregulated genes, and 84 tags for downregulated genes. Approximately 70% of tags had matching ESTs in the genus Capsicum, other genera within the Solanaceae and/or other families of plants. More than 90% of tags with EST matches could be annotated with either functionally characterized or uncharacterized proteins. We compared genes annotated by SuperSAGE tags and those annotated by partial cDNA that was obtained using the SuperSAGE tag sequences as rapid amplification of the cDNA ends-PCR primers. Of genes annotated by SuperSAGE tags, c. 90% were consistent with those annotated by longer cDNA sequences. We cloned 17 full-length cDNAs from different SuperSAGE tags and confirmed that these genes were upregulated during normal infection in the incompatible interaction. We identified several early resistance response genes including a Ran/TC4 protein and a β-oxidation multifunctional protein, indicating that SuperSAGE is a powerful tool for investigating plant–pathogen interactions.

C. chinense plants harboring the L 3 resistance gene were inoculated with P1,2 (filled column) or P1,2,3 (gray column) pathotypes of PMMoV or phosphate buffer (mock inoculation; open column). Total RNA was extracted from inoculated leaves at 96 h postinoculation for real-time PCR using primers in Table S1 and normalized against 18S rRNA levels. The mRNA levels relative to untreated plants were determined in two independent RNA preparations, and mean values are shown. (TIFF 240 kb)
