Histone modification is an important epigenetic regulation in higher plants adapting to environment changes including salt and drought stresses. In this report, we show that the Arabidopsis RPD3-type histone deacetylase HDA9 involved modulating plant responses stresses Arabidopsis. Loss-of-function mutants of gene displayed phenotypes (such as seedling root growth seed germination) insensitive NaCl polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatments. mutation led up-regulation many genes, among which those...
SSITL (SS1G_14133) of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum encodes a protein with 302 amino acid residues including signal peptide, its secretion property was confirmed immunolocalization and immunofluorescence techniques. classified in the integrin alpha N-terminal domain superfamily, 3D structure is similar to those human α4-subunit fungal integrin-like protein. When S. inoculated host, high expression detected during initial stages infection (1.5–3.0 hpi). Targeted silencing resulted significant...
Abstract Plant pathogens degrade cell wall through secreted polygalacturonases (PGs) during infection. Plants counteract the PGs by producing PG-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) for protection, reversibly binding fungal PGs, and mitigating their hydrolytic activities. To date, how specifically overcome PGIP inhibition is unknown. Here, we report an effector, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum PGIP-INactivating Effector 1 (SsPINE1), which directly interacts with functionally inactivates PGIP. S. a...
Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) has been shown to be involved in stress-responsive gene expression and priming plants. However, the role of H3K4me3 resetting processes is not clear. In this work we studied function Arabidopsis H3K4 demethylase JMJ15. We show that JMJ15 was relatively low limited a number tissues during vegetative growth but higher young floral organs. Over-expression gain-of-function mutants reduced plant height with accumulation lignin stems, while...
We experimentally isolated and characterized a CFEM protein with putative GPI-anchored site BcCFEM1 in Botrytis cinerea. contains (common several fungal extracellular membrane proteins) domain the characteristic eight cysteine residues at N terminus, predicted GPI modification C terminus. was significantly up-regulated during early stage of infection on bean leaves induced chlorosis Nicotiana benthamiana using Agrobacterium infiltration method. Targeted deletion B. cinerea affected...
Summary Rice false smut disease is an increasing threat to rice production in the world. Despite of best efforts, research for infection fungus has yielded equivocal and conflicting results about where how initiated developed. Here we show a stepwise pattern sophisticated regulation during this process. Initial occurred on filaments, which prevented mature pollen thus blocked pollination. In following days, pathogen invaded stigmas styles, occasionally ovaries. Expression analysis indicated...
The genome of the wild diploid strawberry species Fragaria vesca, an ideal model system cultivated (Fragaria × ananassa, octoploid) and other Rosaceae family crops, was first published in 2011 followed by a new assembly (Fvb). However, annotation for Fvb mainly relied on ab initio predictions included only predicted coding sequences, therefore improved is highly desirable. Here, version named v2.0.a2 created pipeline utilizing one PacBio library, 90 Illumina RNA-seq libraries, 9 small...
Abstract Uncovering the key contributions of molecular details to capture polysulfides is important for applying suitable materials that can effectively restrain shuttle effect in advanced lithium–sulfur batteries. This particularly true natural biomolecules with substantial structural and compositional diversities strongly impacting their functions. Here, gelatin zein proteins are first denatured then adopted fabrication nanocomposite interlayers via functionalization carbon nanofibers....
Colletotrichum higginsianum is an economically important pathogen that causes anthracnose disease in a wide range of cruciferous crops. To facilitate the efficient control disease, it will be to understand mechanism by which crops and C. interact. A key step understanding this interaction characterizing mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathway higginsianum. MAPK plays roles diverse physiological processes multiple pathogens. In study, Fus3/Kss1-related gene, ChMK1, from was...
Abstract The NADPH oxidase complex of a sclerotial mycoparasite Coniothyrium minitans , an important biocontrol agent against crop diseases caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum was identified and its functions involved in conidiation mycoparasitism were studied. Gene knock-out complementary experiments indicated that CmNox1 but not CmNox2 is necessary for parasitism, expression could be significantly induced host fungus. regulated CmRac1-CmNoxR interacts with CmSlt2, homolog Saccharomyces...
The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor (TF) family is one of the largest and most diverse TF families widely distributed across eukaryotes. bZIP plays an important role in growth, development, response to abiotic or biotic stresses, which have been well characterized plants, but not plant pathogenic fungi. In this study, we performed genome-wide systematic bioinformatics analysis genes fungus Ustilaginoidea virens, causal agent rice false smut disease. We identified 28 members...
The sclerotium of Wolfiporia cocos has been used as an edible mushroom and/or a traditional herbal medicine for centuries. W. sclerotial formation is dependent on parasitism the wood Pinus species. Currently, development mechanisms remain largely unknown and lack pine resources limit commercial production. CAZymes (carbohydrate-active enzymes) play important roles in degradation plant cell wall to provide carbohydrates fungal growth, development, reproduction. In this study, transcript...
Colletotrichum higginsianum is an economically important pathogen that causes anthracnose disease in a wide range of cruciferous crops. Understanding the mechanisms plant-C. interactions will be facilitating efficient control diseases. The cAMP-PKA signaling pathway plays roles diverse physiological processes multiple pathogens. C. contains two genes, ChPKA1 and ChPKA2, encode catalytic subunits cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase A (PKA). To analyze role cAMP pathogenicity...
Summary Botrytis cinerea is a broad‐host‐range necrotrophic phytopathogen responsible for serious diseases in leading crops. To facilitate infection, B . secretes large number of effectors that induce plant cell death. In screening secretome data during infection stage, we identified phytotoxic protein (BcSSP2) can also immune resistance plants. BcSSP2 small, cysteine‐rich without any known domains. Transient expression leaves caused chlorosis intensifies with time and eventually leads to...
Coniothyrium minitans is a sclerotial parasite of the plant-pathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and conidial production parasitism are two important aspects for commercialization this biological control agent. To understand mechanism conidiation at molecular level, we constructed transfer DNA (tDNA) insertional library with wild-type strain ZS-1. A conidiation-deficient mutant, ZS-1TN22803, was uncovered through screening library. This mutant could produce pycnidia on potato dextrose...
Wolfiporia cocos is an edible and medicinal fungus that grows in association with pine trees, its dried sclerotium, known as Fuling China, has been used a traditional medicine East Asian countries for centuries. Nearly 10% of the Chinese preparations contain W. cocos. Currently, commercial production limited because lack pine-based substrate paucity knowledge about sclerotial development fungus. Since protein kinase (PKs) play significant roles regulation growth, development, reproduction,...
