Plants form a mutualistic symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which facilitates the acquisition of scarce minerals from soil. In return, host plants provide sugars and lipids to its fungal partner. However, mechanism by AM fungi obtain plant has remained elusive. this study we investigated role potential SWEET family sugar exporters in Medicago truncatula. We show that M. truncatula SWEET1b transporter is strongly upregulated arbuscule-containing cells compared roots localizes...
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can form a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with most land plants. They are known to secrete lysin motif (LysM) effectors into host root cells for successful colonization. Intriguingly, plants similar types of LysM proteins; however, their role in plant–microbe interactions is unknown. Here, we show that Medicago truncatula deploys extracellular (LysMe) proteins facilitate symbiosis AMF. Promoter analyses demonstrated three M. LysMe genes...
Sweet orange is cultivated worldwide but suffers from various devastating diseases because of its monogenetic background. The elucidation the origin a crop facilitates domestication new crops that may better cope with challenges. Here we collected and sequenced 226 citrus accessions assembled telomere-to-telomere phased diploid genomes sweet sour orange. On basis high-resolution haplotype-resolved genome analysis, inferred originated × mandarin cross confirmed this model using artificial...
Powdery mildew (PM) is one of the most important and widespread plant diseases caused by biotrophic fungi. Notably, while monocot (grass) PM fungi exhibit high-level host-specialization, many dicot display a broad host range. To understand such distinct modes host-adaptation, we sequenced genomes four biotypes belonging to Golovinomyces cichoracearum or Oidium neolycopersici. We compared together with those Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei (both DH14 RACE1 isolates), B. tritici, Erysiphe...
Citrus roots have rare root hairs and thus heavily depend on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) for mineral nutrient uptake. However, the AMF community structure of citrus is largely unknown. By using 454-pyrosequencing 18S rRNA gene fragment, we investigated genetic diversity colonizing roots, evaluated impact habitats rootstock & scion genotypes structure. Over 740,000 effective sequences were obtained from 77 samples. These assigned to 75 virtual taxa, which 66 belong Glomus, highlighting...
Soil acidification has become a serious problem for citrus cultivation in China. As soil amendment, biochar is expected to increase pH as well fertility. In this study, we assessed the effect of on Trifoliate orange, most frequently used rootstock, pot experiment using acidic red from Gannan production area. Plant height and shoot diameter Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf. seedlings increased significantly after was added soils. This positive further evidenced by plant biomass leaf net...
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis relies on the formation of arbuscules for efficient nutrient exchange between plants and AM fungi. In this study, we identified a novel kinase gene in rice named OsADK1 ( Arbuscule Development Kinase 1 ) that is required arbuscule development. By obtaining OsADK1pro :: GUS transgenic also generating Osadk1 mutants via CRISPR/Cas9 technique, was revealed to be specifically induced arbusculated cortical cells mutations resulted an extremely low...
The perennial woody plants of citrus are one the most important fruit crops in world and largely depends on arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (AMS) to obtain essential nutrients from soil. However, molecular aspects AMS general have been understudied. We used RNA-sequencing identify differentially expressed genes roots Poncirus trifoliata upon mycorrhization by AM fungus Glomus versiforme evaluated their conservation comparative transcriptome analyses with four herbaceous model plants....
Plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) mutualistic interactions are essential for sustainable agriculture production. Although it is shown that AMF inoculation improves cassava physiological performances yield traits, the molecular mechanisms involved in AM symbiosis remain largely unknown. Herein, we integrated metabolomics transcriptomics analyses of symbiotic (Ri) asymbiotic (CK) roots explored AM-induced biochemical transcriptional changes.Three weeks (3w) after inoculations,...
Citrus is vegetatively propagated by grafting for commercial production, and most rootstock cultivars of citrus have scarce root hairs, thus heavily relying on mutualistic symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) mineral nutrient uptake. However, the AMF community composition, its differences under different scion/rootstock genotypes, were largely unknown. In this study, we investigated root-associated diversity richness, assessed influence genotypes composition in a controlled...
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are arguably the most important symbionts of plants, offering a range benefits to their hosts. However, provisioning these does not appear be uniform among AM fungal individuals, with genetic variation between having substantial impact on plant performance. Interestingly, has also been reported within which contain millions haploid nuclei sharing common cytoplasm. In model fungus, Rhizophagus irregularis, several isolates have dikaryotes, containing two...
<title>Abstract</title> The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has had a significant impact on global social and economic activities. continuous emergence of new variants made the difficult to predict. Therefore, it is great significance closely monitor epidemic understand evolution transmission characteristics SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we reported 36 infected cases in Wuhan June 2023. Genomic surveillance revealed that outbreak was Omicron XBB variants, among which FY.3 its descendants...
Soluble sugar is a key factor of flavor quality in citrus. Potassium (K) known as element, which plays roles improving accumulation and fruit quality, but the mechanisms are largely unknown. This study aims to elucidate how K improves by regulating carbon flow between source sink Newhall navel orange ( Citrus sinensis ). The results demonstrated that appropriate concentration improved accumulations citrus, 1.5% pulp was optimal for quality. increased strength source, supported growth rate,...
Citrus, one of the most widely cultivated fruit crops in world, relies on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to absorb nutrients and water from soil. However, molecular mechanism AM symbiosis (AMS) citrus general have largely been understudied. Here, using a TMT labeling proteomic approach, we identified 365 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) roots Poncirus trifoliata (a common rootstock) upon Rhizophagus irregularis colonization as compared with uninoculated roots, which 287 were...
Abstract Background Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of bacterial meningitis, and these infections are associated with high mortality rate. Rapid reliable diagnosis meningitis critical in clinical practice. However, this disease often occurs economically depressed areas, so an inexpensive, easy to use, accurate technology needed. We performed meta-analysis assess the potential recently developed loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for detection meningococcus. Methods...
