Abstract

The pseudostem weevil (Odoiporus longicollis) is an important insect pest of banana which causes significant reduction in yields in many countries across the world. This study evaluated the transcriptome profile of O. longicollis infested resistant banana cultivar Musa paradisiaca cv. ‘Kachkal’ for the first time and identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) modulated during the host-pest interaction. RNA sequencing of the transcriptome of O. longicollis infested banana cultivar with respect to control revealed 2429 and 118 significantly upregulated and downregulated genes, respectively. The genes upregulated during the O. longicollis-M. paradisiaca interaction were classified into 83 Gene Ontology (GO) classes of biological processes (BP), 47 classes of molecular function (MF), and 10 classes of cellular component (CC), while the downregulated genes were classified into 10 classes of BP, 6 classes of MF, and 2 classes of CC. Further, the KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed 36 pathways associated with upregulated genes and 6 pathways with downregulated genes. Several defense-related genes significantly and highly upregulated in ‘Kachkal’ in response to pseudostem weevil infestation, were found to have functions related to linoleic acid metabolism (lipoxygenase), response to biotic stress (PR4, PR1 like, mannose/glucose-specific lectins), amino and nucleotide sugar metabolism (phospholipase, chitinase 6, chitinase 10, endochitinase), peptidase inhibitor activity (Bowman-Birk type proteinase inhibitor-like), catalytic activity (terpene synthase, allene oxide synthase 2-like), protein kinase pathway (MAPK), biosynthesis of secondary metabolite (jasmonate), metabolic pathways (alpha amylase), sequence-specific DNA binding (WRKY), and molecular transcription (EtRP). Ten defense response–related genes, significantly upregulated in the banana cultivar upon O. longicollis infestation, were selected as important candidates for qRT-PCR validation. The expression patterns of the selected genes successfully validated the RNA sequencing results and at the same time established the potentiality of the genes in conferring defense or tolerance to herbivory by the insect pest. The study has generated substantial data in relation to defense-associated reprogramming of the M. paradisiaca cv. Kachkal transcriptome in response to attack by O. longicollis.

Key Message

The study led to an understanding on the specific molecular events associated with defense in Musa paradisiaca cv. Kachkal against infestation by banana pseudostem weevil Odoiporus longicollis. Substantial data in the form of differentially expressed genes modulated during the host-pest interaction have been generated and important gene candidates involved in conferring resistance to herbivory by the insect pest have been identified.
