Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV; ) and Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV; ), the type members of the genera and , respectively, in the family , are economically important wheat viruses in the Great Plains region of the USA. Co-infection of wheat by WSMV and TriMV results in disease synergism. Wheat transcriptome from singly (WSMV or TriMV) and doubly (WSMV+TriMV) infected upper uninoculated leaves were analyzed by RNA-Seq at 9, 12, and 21 days postinoculation. A total of 31,754 differentially expressed wheat genes were identified among all comparisons. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis resulted in 11 co-expression modules that broadly indicated gene expression profiles attributable to control, single, and double infections. Gene ontology, protein domain and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway enrichment analysis revealed that genes specifically related to photosynthesis, growth, stress, senescence, and defense were differentially enriched. Analyses of transcription factor families indicated that genes encoding MADS-Box and ARFs were strongly enriched in control plants, moderately repressed in TriMV-infected plants, and more strongly repressed in WSMV- and doubly-infected plants, whereas genes encoding WRKYs and NACs were more enriched in WSMV or doubly infected plants. Synergistic interactions between WSMV and TriMV drastically enhanced disease phenotype compared to individual virus infections. The progression of disease phenotype was correlated to transcriptomic changes, indicating the strong disruption to plant metabolism and likely channeling of energy and metabolites for viral replication. There also appeared to be a connection between viral replication and plastid health, with stronger downregulation of genes needed for chloroplast functions and integrity and increased synergism between TriMV and WSMV. This study provides an overview of transcriptomic changes distinctly influenced by TriMV and WSMV either singly or in combination and provides a good correlation between specific transcription factors and genes associated with metabolism to observed phenotypic changes in plant growth and disease synergism.
