    Abstract KEY MESSAGE: miR6024 acts as a negative regulator of R genes, hence of Tomato plant immunity, and facilitates disease by the necrotrophic pathogen A. solani. Plant resistance genes or Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) genes, integral components of plant disease stress-signaling are targeted by variable groups of miRNAs. However, the significance of miRNA-mediated regulation of NLRs during a pathogen stress response, specifically for necrotrophic fungus, is poorly understood. A thorough examination of Tomato NLRs and miRNAs could map substantial interactions of which half the annotated NLRs were targets of Solanaceae-specific and conserved miRNAs, at the NB subdomain. The Solanaceae-specific miR6024 and its NLR targets analysed in different phytopathogenic stresses revealed differential and mutually antagonistic regulation. Interestingly, miR6024-targeted cleavage of a target NLR also triggered the generation of secondary phased siRNAs which could potentially amplify the defense signal. RNA-seq analysis of leaf tissues from miR6024 overexpressing Tomato plants evidenced a perturbation in the defense transcriptome with the transgenics showing unwarranted immune response-related genes’ expression with or without infection with necrotrophic Alternaria solani, though no adverse effect could be observed in the growth and development of the transgenic plants. Transgenic plants exhibited constitutive downregulation of the target NLRs, aggravated disease phenotype with an enhanced lesion, greater ROS generation and hypersusceptibility to A. solani infection, thus establishing that miR6024 negatively impacts plant immune response during necrotrophic pathogenesis. Limited knowledge about the outcome of NLR-miRNA interaction during necrotrophic pathogenesis is a hindrance to the deployment of miRNAs in crop improvement programs. With the elucidation of the necrotrophic disease-synergistic role played by miR6024, it becomes a potent candidate for biotechnological manipulation for the rapid development of pathogen-tolerant solanaceous plants.

    Abstract Challenges faced by water resource systems are multi-faceted. The problem can be even more pronounced in a dry continent like Australia where the water resources can often be afflicted by high salinity and turbidity. Therefore, modern water resource systems require to appropriately manage both water quality and quantity. This study aims to illustrate the trade-offs between water quantity and quality in a reservoir, based on decisions to harvest different inflow sources. Taylors Lake of the Grampians reservoir system in Western Victoria, Australia was chosen as the case study for this research as it is sufficiently complex and includes many of the contemporary water resources challenges seen around the world. Different operational scenarios were analysed which included increasingly stringent water quality criteria before the water was harvested or otherwise allowed to by-pass the storage. The study suggests that selective harvesting of water can be an option to improve the overall and long-term water quality within a reservoir, but stringent water quality measures can lead to an associated loss of overall water quantity. This research study provides useful insight to water planners and stakeholders in similar catchment settings around the world, to identify water harvesting regimes with competing water quality constraints.

    Abstract Early blight, caused by the fungus Alternaria solani, is a devastating foliar disease of tomatoes, causes massive yield loss each year worldwide. Molecular basis of the compatible host-pathogen interaction was elusive. We adopted next generation sequencing approach to decipher miRNAs and mRNAs that are differentially expressed during Alternaria-stress in tomato. Some of the interesting findings were also validated by alternative techniques. Our analysis revealed 181 known-miRNAs, belonging to 121 miRNA families, of which 67 miRNAs showed at least 2-fold change in expression level with the majority being downregulated. Concomitantly, 5,450 mRNAs were significantly regulated in the same diseased tissues. Differentially expressed genes were most significantly associated with response to stimulus process, photosynthesis, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, plant-pathogen interaction and plant hormone signal transduction pathways. GO term enrichment-based categorization of gene-functions further supported this observation, as terms related to pathogen perception, disease signal transduction, cellular metabolic processes including oxidoreductase and kinase activity were over represented. In addition, we have discovered 102 miRNA-mRNA pairs which were regulated antagonistically, and careful study of the targeted mRNAs depicted that multiple transcription factors, nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeats, receptor-like proteins and enzymes related to cellular ROS management were profoundly affected. These studies have identified key regulators of Alternaria-stress response in tomato and the subset of genes that are likely to be post-transcriptionally silenced during the infection.
