Carbon dioxide is a non-perceptible atmospheric greenhouse gas and a key component for photosynthetic life as the distinct substrate for carbon fixation. Elucidation of host-pathogen interactions within a changing climate may provide tools for breeding programs needed to maintain yields to meet the needs of future global food demands. Our experiments aim to explore the effect of increased CO2 on the Phytophthora sojae - Glycine max interaction. We hypothesize that an increase in atmospheric CO2 will alter the expression of specific gene transcripts that are associated with the pathogenicity of P. sojae and resistance mechanisms of Glycine max. The objective of the project is to fill a major gap in the knowledge base of the P. sojae - G. max plant-pathogen interaction under increased CO2, as this interaction occurs in the rhizosphere were carbon dioxide concentrations exceed levels which above ground plant tissues encounter. The data from relative fold changes of specific mRNAs will enable us to monitor the simultaneous response of the specific genes from both pathogen and host tissues under elevated CO2 (0.1%) compared to an ambient (0.039%) atmosphere. Both susceptible (Williams) and resistant (W82) lines of soybean will be monitored in healthy tissues, and at 24 and 48 hours post inoculation.
