Soil-dwelling microbes are the principal inoculum for root microbiota, but our understanding of microbe-microbe interactions in microbiota establishment remains fragmentary. We tested 39,204 binary interbacterial inhibitory activities vitro, allowing us to identify taxonomic signatures bacterial inhibition profiles. Using genetic and metabolomic approaches, we identified antimicrobial 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) iron chelator pyoverdine as exometabolites whose combined functions...
Ubiquitin-mediated regulation responds rapidly to specific stimuli; this rapidity is particularly important for defense responses pathogen attack. Here, we investigated the role of E3 ubiquitin ligase Erysiphe necator-induced RING finger protein 1 (EIRP1) in response Chinese wild grapevine Vitis pseudoreticulata. The regulatory function EIRP1 was using molecular, genetic and biochemical approaches. encodes a C3HC4-type Really Interesting New Gene (RING) that harbors activity. This activity...
Abstract Various microbes isolated from healthy plants are detrimental under laboratory conditions, indicating the existence of molecular mechanisms preventing disease in nature. Here, we demonstrated that application sodium chloride (NaCl) natural and gnotobiotic soil systems is sufficient to induce plant caused by an otherwise non-pathogenic root-derived Pseudomonas brassicacearum isolate (R401). Disease combinatorial treatment NaCl R401 triggered extensive, root-specific transcriptional...
Plants have evolved sophisticated immune networks to restrict pathogen colonization. In response, pathogens deploy numerous virulent effectors circumvent plant responses. However, the molecular mechanisms by which pathogen-derived suppress defenses remain elusive. Here, we report that nucleus-localized RxLR effector PsAvh110 from Phytophthora sojae, causing soybean (Glycine max) stem and root rot, modulates activity of a transcriptional complex immunity. Soybean like-heterochromatin protein...
Abstract Elicitins are a large family of secreted proteins in Phytophthora. Clade 1 elicitins were identified decades ago as potent elicitors immune responses Nicotiana species, but the mechanisms underlying elicitin recognition largely unknown. Here we an receptor benthamiana that named REL for Responsive to ELicitins. is receptor-like protein (RLP) with extracellular leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain mediates Phytophthora resistance by binding elicitins. Silencing or knocking out N....
Abstract Endophytic fungi can be beneficial to plant growth. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying colonization of Acremonium spp. remain unclear. In this study, a novel endophytic strain was isolated from buds Panax notoginseng and named sp. D212. The D212 could colonize roots P. , enhance resistance root rot disease, promote growth saponin biosynthesis in notoginseng. secrete indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) jasmonic (JA), inoculation with fungus increased endogenous levels IAA JA ....
Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by graminearum, is a devastating disease in wheat (Triticum aestivum) that results substantial yield losses and mycotoxin contamination. Reliable genetic resources for FHB resistance are lacking. In this study, we characterized glycoside hydrolase 12 (GH12) family proteins secreted F. graminearum. We established two GH12 proteins, Fg05851 Fg11037, have functionally redundant roles graminearum colonization of wheat. Furthermore, determined the Fg11037...
The detection of microbial infections by plants induces the rapid formation immune receptor complexes at plasma membrane. However, how this process is controlled to ensure proper signaling remains largely unknown. Here, we found that Nicotiana benthamiana membrane-localized leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase BAK1-INTERACTING RLK 2 (NbBIR2) constitutively associates with BRI1-ASSOCIATED RECEPTOR KINASE 1 (NbBAK1) in vivo and vitro promotes complex pattern recognition receptors. In...
Plant pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are sentinels at the cell surface sensing microbial invasion and activating innate immune responses. During infection, certain apoplastic effectors can be recognized by plant PRRs, culminating in responses accompanied death. However, intricated relationships between activation of death unclear. Here, we studied glycoside hydrolase family 12 (GH12) protein, Ps109281, secreted Phytophthora sojae into apoplast during infection. Ps109281 exhibits...
The basic region/leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors play important roles in plant development and responses to abiotic biotic stresses. OsbZIP53 has been reported regulate resistance Magnaporthe oryzae rice by analyzing APIP5-RNAi transgenic plants. To further investigate the biological functions of OsbZIP53, we generated osbzip53 mutants using CRISPR-Cas9 editing over-expression Comprehensive analysis phenotypical, physiological, transcriptional data showed that knocking-out not...
Leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases (LRR-RLKs) comprise the largest class of membrane-localized in plants. are key immune sectors contributing to pattern-triggered immunity (PTI), but whether LRR-RLK mediates effector-triggered (ETI) plants remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated function LRR-RLKs regulating ETI by using a virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS)-based reverse genetic screening assay, and identified named ETI-dependent kinase 1 (EDK1) required for triggered avirulence...
Verticillium wilt, caused by dahliae, is a devastating disease for many important crops, including cotton. Kiwellins (KWLs), group of cysteine-rich proteins synthesized in plants, have been shown to be involved response various phytopathogens. To evaluate genes their function resistance we investigated KWL homologs Thirty-five (GhKWLs) were identified from the genome upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). Among them, GhKWL1 was localized nucleus and cytosol, its gene expression induced...

We report for the first time that occidiofungin production is regulated by global transcriptional factor BysR, directly targeting specific regulator ambR1 , which further promotes transcription of ocf genes. BysR also acts as a pleiotropic controls various cellular processes in Burkholderia sp. strain JP2-270.
