1 Apple Replant Disease Evolution and Rootstock Interaction (ARDERI): Understanding the relationships among host, pathogen(s) and soil microbes Project leader: Prof. Xiangming Xu November 2015 Partner meeting
2 Replant disease Mark Mazzola
3 What we know Causal agents: four principal genera - Cylindrocarpon, Rhizoctonia, Phytophthora and Pythium relative dominance varies from site to site Nematodes can exacerbate ARD Rootstock genotypes differ in their response to ARD Soil microbial community affects ARD development New research paradigm microbiome, pioneered in human disease epidemiology the collective genomes of the microorganisms that reside in an environmental niche (synonymous to microbiota) new tools to characterise microbiome
4 Rhizosphere microbiome
5 What we proposed to do WP1: who are there? what are related to specific host genotypes and ARD? what genes are expressed WP2: how do ARD components interact in determining ARD development WP3: how fast do host genotypes change rhizosphere microbiome
6 Work package 1 Metagenomics Lead researcher: Dr Nicola Harrison (Root biologist)
7 What is Metagenomics? Metagenomics is the study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples. Metagenomic Pipeline DNA Sequencer Sample Soil Extract DNA Amplify specific regions of DNA Sequence those specific regions of DNA Relate DNA sequences to micro-organism database
8 ARDERI Metagenomics We will use an amplicon-based metagenomics approach already established at EMR to characterize each sample Use MiSeq to sequence each sample using primer sets to amplify regions in: 16S for bacteria ITS for fungi, nematode and oomycetes incorporating barcode tagging to enable multiplexing of samples
9 Questions we aim to answer Do M9 rootstocks recruit different microorganism communities dependent upon soil type/location? Do different microorganism communities perform similar functions such as cell wall degradation in ARD sites? Do different rootstocks recruit different communities of microorganisms?

24 Current and future work To test our developed algorithms we will prepare and sequence a mock community DNA sample We need to judge which is the best method: Without a sample with known biological content we can t do this. This will allow us to fine tune the parameters used in the algorithm to best define soil microbial communities. Technical questions we are working on: How to handle ITS1 and ITS2 ITS1 = forward single read, ITS2 = reverse single read or combine the two reads?
25 Industry Inputs Nurseries and farms: Identify established orchard and stool beds for soil sampling for M9 rootstocks Identify established stool beds for soil sampling for a selection of rootstocks For each rootstock-site combination: a minimum of three samples need to be taken from each rhizosphere soil location, from six locations within the stool bed/orchard row (18 samples per site) In addition, soil samples need to be taken from field margins as controls
26 Work package 2 Elucidation of interactions between ARD complex members Lead researcher: Emma Tilston (Soil / rhizosphere scientist)
27 Research questions H1) Two groups of microbes (water moulds and true fungi) act additively to cause ARD H2) ARD-related root rot is more severe if root lesion nematodes are present as well as ARD microbes H3) Rootstock vigour and architecture modify root system responses to ARD

43 Work package 3 Rootstock-related soil microbiota changes over time Lead researcher: Felicidad Fernández (Rootstock breeder and geneticist)
44 Questions? Is the severity of ARD in newly planted apple trees greater if the previous rootstock genotype was highly susceptible to ARD? Is ARD less severe if rootstock genotypes with contrasting traits follow each other in a rotation-style planting system?
45 Apple genotypes
46 Experimental set-up Two intensive orchards: Dessert orchard: o Previously planted with M.9 o AC Goatham & Son (Sutton Valence, Kent) o Soil type: Questionnaire to be completed Cider orchard: o Previously planted with M.M.106 (Reps 1 & 2, Rep 3 TBC) o Bulmers (Winchenford, Worcester) o Soil type: Questionnaire to be completed
47 Split plot design (row vs. aisle): 3 replicates Experimental set-up
48 Experimental set-up Scions: Discovery (Dessert orchard) W. Permain (Cider orchard) Rootstock sources: D. L. (France): o M.9 o M.26 o M.M.106 o M.116 o G.16 o G.41 o AR295-6 F.P. Matthews (UK): o M.27 Different sources and sizes!
49 Experimental set-up Measures to harmonize starting material for planting All rootstocks were washed prior to grafting Trees were potted up in the same substrate Trees were grown in pots for 7 months (Apr Oct) in a polytunnel at EMR. Spare trees were produced of each genotype to allow us to choose the most consistent set at plating time In October, prior to planting: o o o All trees were tipped and lateral shoots removed Most similar trees were paired for each rep Girths and tree heights were recorded

55 Work for 2016 Continue metagenomic analysis of samples at T0 Check tree survival at bud-break and replace any dead trees Sample soil around newly planted trees in May 2016 (T1) Measure tree growth (pruning weight) and girth in December 2016
