Host–microbiota–insect interactions drive emergent virulence in a complex tree disease

Abstract: Forest declines caused by climate disturbance, insect pests and microbial pathogens threaten the global landscape, and tree diseases are increasingly attributed to the emergent properties of complex ecological interactions between the host, microbiota and insects. To address this hypothesis, we combined reductionist approaches (single and polyspecies bacterial cultures) with emergentist approaches (bacterial inoculations in an oak infection model with the addition of insect larvae) to unravel the gene expressi… Show more

“…Such advances require the development of theoretical and conceptual frameworks such as those discussed in §3 to drive hypothesis generation and predictions that can be tested through the careful design of empirical studies. The field of microbiome research therefore transcends disciplines, as exemplified by the diversity of methodological and analytical approaches described in the contributions to the special feature, including mathematical modelling [9,[16][17][18], DNA and RNA sequencing [7,10,14,18], flow cytometry [14], infection tests in model and non-model pathosystems [7,18], physico-chemical and volatile analysis [7], and measures of hormone activity to assess host physiological responses to its environment [10]. A major theme pervading this special feature is the link between mathematical model simulations and empirical studies [9,11,16,17].…”

“…Their analysis suggests that the 'EcoReality' of microbiota transplant studies has increased over time, and they present a roadmap for enhancing EcoReality in future transplantation experiments. Following this theme, Doonan et al [18] describe the emergent properties of host-microbiota-insect interactions that drive AOD, a complex decline disease of oak trees. They combined in vitro transcriptome experiments comprising single and poly-species bacterial cultures growing on oak tissue, with more complex infection tests combining bacterial inoculations with the addition of beetle larvae in a novel oak log infection model, to demonstrate the cumulative impact of these interactions on the pathology of AOD.…”
