Abstract Root microbiota is a crucial determinant of plant productivity and stress tolerance. Here, we hypothesize that the superior halo-tolerance seepweed Suaeda salsa tightly linked to specialized belowground microbiome. To test this hypothesis, performed phylogenetic trait-based framework analysis based on bacterial 16S rRNA gene fungal nuclear internal transcribed spacer profiling. Data showed dominant α-proteobacteria γ-proteobacteria communities in bulk soil root endosphere tend be...
Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) is a pernicious weed in agricultural fields worldwide. The molecular mechanisms underlying its success the absence of human intervention are presently unknown. Here we report draft genome sequence hexaploid species E. crus-galli, i.e., 1.27 Gb assembly representing 90.7% predicted size. An extremely large repertoire genes encoding cytochrome P450 monooxygenases and glutathione S-transferases associated with detoxification found. Two gene clusters...
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is, on a global scale, one of the most important food crops. Although endophytic fungi and bacteria associated with rice have been investigated, little is known about wild granulate) in China. Here we studied root mycobiota residing roots O. granulate by use an integrated approach consisting microscopy, cultivation, ecological indices, direct PCR. Microscopy confirmed ubiquitousness dark septate endophytes (DSEs) sclerotium-like structures tissues. Isolations from 204...
The mutualism pattern of the dark septate endophyte (DSE) Harpophora oryzae in rice roots and its biocontrol potential blast disease caused by Magnaporthe were investigated. Fluorescent protein-expressing H. was used to monitor colonization pattern. Hyphae invaded from epidermis inner cortex, but not into root stele. Fungal increased with tissue maturation, showing no meristematic zone, slight elongation heavy differentiation zone. adopted a biotrophic lifestyle accompanied programmed cell...
The fungus Harpophora oryzae is a close relative of the pathogen Magnaporthe and beneficial endosymbiont wild rice. Here, we show that H. evolved from pathogenic ancestor. overall genomic structures M. were found to be similar. However, during interactions with rice, expression 11.7% all genes showed opposing trends in two fungi, suggesting differences gene regulation. Moreover, infection patterns, triggering host defense responses, signal transduction nutritional preferences exhibited...
Towards assessing the biodiversity and biogeography of Trichoderma, we have analyzed occurrence Trichoderma species in soil litter from four areas China: North (Hebei province), South-East (Zhejiang West (Himalayan, Tibet) South-West (Yunnan province). One hundred thirty five isolates were grouped according to tentative morphological identification. A representative 64 verified at level by oligonucleotide barcode program TrichO Key v.1.0 custom BLAST server Tricho BLAST, using sequences ITS1...
We surveyed the Trichoderma (Hypocreales, Ascomycota) biodiversity in agricultural fields four major provinces of East China. strains were identified based on molecular approaches and morphological characteristics. In three sampled seasons (spring, summer autumn), 2078 isolated to 17 known species: T. harzianum (429 isolates), asperellum (425), hamatum (397), virens (340), koningiopsis (248), brevicompactum (73), atroviride fertile (26), longibrachiatum (22), pleuroticola (16), erinaceum...
The endophytic fungus Falciphora oryzae was initially isolated from wild rice (Oryza granulata) and colonizes many crop species promotes plant growth. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying F. oryzae-mediated growth promotion are still unknown. We found that able to colonize Arabidopsis thaliana. most dramatic change after inoculation observed in root architecture, as evidenced by increased lateral but reduced primary length, similar effect of auxin, a significant hormone. expression...
The genus Trichoderma is important to humankind, with a wide range of applications in industry, agriculture, and bioremediation. Thus, quick accurate identification species paramount, since it usually the first step -based research. However, frequently becomes limitation, especially for researchers who lack taxonomic knowledge fungi. Moreover, as number studies has increased, growing unidentified sequences have been stored public databases, which made more ambiguous. In this study, we...
A survey of the endophytic fungal community wild rice (Oryza granulata) in China was conducted. Two isolates recovered from healthy roots are assumed to be dark septate endophytes (DSEs). They morphologically similar species genus Harpophora and identified as a new species, oryzae, based on molecular phylogeny morphological characteristics. neighbor-joining tree constructed ITS–5.8S rRNA gene regions reveals that H. oryzae forms distinctive subclade within Harpophora, is not genetically...
Abstract The rice endophyte Harpophora oryzae shares a common pathogenic ancestor with the blast fungus Magnaporthe . Direct comparison of interactions between single plant species and two closely-related (1) (2) mutualistic fungi can improve our understanding evolution plants that lead to either or interactions. Differences in metabolome transcriptome response challenge by H. M. were investigated GC-MS, RNA-seq qRT-PCR. Levels metabolites shikimate lignin biosynthesis pathways increased...
Trichoderma spp. are diverse fungi with wide distribution. In this study, we report on three new species of Trichoderma, namely T.nigricans, T.densissimum and T.paradensissimum, collected from soils in China. Their phylogenetic position these novel was determined by analyzing the concatenated sequences second largest nuclear RNA polymerase subunit encoding gene (rpb2) translation elongation factor 1- alpha (tef1). The results analysis showed that each formed a distinct clade: T.nigricans is...
Pecan (Carya illinoinensis) is a world-renowned nut crop that highly favored by consumers for its high content of healthy nutrients. For long time, anthracnose has severely threatened the yield and quality pecan, causing significant economic losses to global pecan industry. Here, we report 54.57-Mb gapless chromosome-level assembly pathogenic ascomycetes Colletotrichum plurivorum isolate W-6 from plantations in Southeast China. Six 12 chromosomes contain, at least, telomeric repeats...
Trichoderma taxi sp. nov. was isolated as an endophytic fungus of Taxus mairei growing at the Guanshan Nature Reserve Jiangxi province, China, and characterized by a combination phenotypic characteristics gene analyses ITS1 2, tef1 rpb2 sequences. Distinctive morphological characters are its white small subglobose conidia pachybasium-like conidiophores aggregated into compact pustules. Phylogenetically, forms independent branch in vicinity to Lutea (Hypocrea lutea, Hypocrea melanomagna)...
An endophytic fungus, Mycosphaerella nawae ZJLQ129, was isolated from the leaves of traditional Chinese medicine Smilax china. From fermentation broth and mycelium, a dibenzofurane compound (-)mycousnine (1) isolated. Chemical modification it to amide derivative enamine (2), which is new science, found have high selective immunosuppressive activity: similar cyclosporin A, (2) selectively inhibited T cell proliferation, suppressed expression surface activation antigens CD25 CD69 formation...
