ABSTRACT NONEXPRESSER OF PATHOGENESIS‐RELATED GENES 1 (NPR1), the receptor for salicylic acid (SA), plays a central role in SA‐mediated basal antiviral responses. Recent studies have shown that two different plant RNA viruses encode proteins suppress such responses by inhibiting its SUMOylation and inducing degradation, respectively. However, it is unclear whether targeting NPR1 general phenomenon novel strategies to inhibit NPR1. In present study, we report positive‐sense single‐stranded...

Breeding for disease-resistant crops is essential to ensure global food security. Traditional crop breeding, while widely accepted, time-consuming and always hampered by the scarcity of resistance sources. Although customizing disease has been a long-cherished dream breeders, data few successful examples are available. Recent advances in plant immune mechanisms have made it possible genetically engineer effector binding interface intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR)...

Bacterial fruit blotch (BFB) caused by Acidovorax citrulli (Ac) is a devastating watermelon disease that severely impacts the global industry. Like other Gram-negative bacteria, type three secretion system (T3SS) main pathogenicity factor of A. citrulli. The T3SS apparatus gene hrpE codes for Hrp pilus and serves as conduit to secret effector proteins into host cells. In this study, we found deletion in results loss on hosts hypersensitive response non-hosts. addition, mutant showed...

Acidovorax citrulli, the causative agent of bacterial fruit blotch, can be divided into two main groups based on factors such as pathogenicity and host species preference. PilA is an important structural functional component type IV pili (T4P). Previous studies have found significant differences in pilA DNA sequences between group I II strains A. citrulli. In this study, we characterized strain pslb65 Aac5. mutants, complementation strains, cross-complementation were generated, their...

Apple latent spherical virus (ALSV) is widely used as a virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) vector for function genome study. However, the application of ALSV in soybean limited by resistance many varieties. In this study, genetic loci linked to resistant variety Heinong 84 was mapped high-throughput sequencing‒Bulk Segregation Analysis (HTS‒BSA) using hybrid population crossed from and susceptible Zhonghuang 13. Results showed that controlled two located on chromosome 2 11, respectively....

Bacterial fruit blotch (BFB) is a disease of cucurbit plants caused by Acidovorax citrulli. Although A. citrulli has great destructive potential, the molecular mechanisms pathogenicity are not clear, particularly with regard to its type III secreted effectors. In this study, we characterized effector protein, AopV, from strain Aac5. We show that AopV significantly inhibits reactive oxygen species and expression PTI marker genes, helps growth Pseudomonas syringae D36E in Nicotiana...

Acidovorax citrulli, the causal agent of bacterial fruit blotch, can be divided into two groups. Group I is mainly isolated from melon, and group II watermelon. In this study, strains were used to assess competition in vivo vitro by evaluating inhibition activity assays measuring population growth dynamics. Our results indicated that there no mutual between groups King’s B medium. The populations A. citrulli counted within 7 days after inoculation melon watermelon cotyledons plotted against...

Bacillus velezensis strain ZY1 isolated from pepper leaves recently showed a strong biocontrol effect on bacterial fruit blotch. Here, we report the complete genome sequence data with annotation for ZY1, which was obtained by Nanopore and Illumina sequencing technology. No gaps plasmids were included in results. The final assembled of 4,032,733 bp, an average GC content 46.42%, it contained 3,842 prediction protein-coding genes, 86 tRNA, 27 rRNA, 5 ncRNA. Fourteen secondary metabolite...

Cowpea mild mottle virus (CpMMV) is an important viral pathogen that seriously influences the yield and seed quality of soybeans worldwide. Resistance breeding one most effective, economical, environmentally safe strategies for controlling disease caused by CpMMV. However, only few resistance genes have been identified in soybeans. In this study, 169 soybean germplasms from Northeast China to a CpMMV strain isolated was evaluated, genome-wide association study (GWAS) then performed find...

Acidovorax citrulli is a seed-borne bacterium that causes bacterial fruit blotch of watermelon and other cucurbit plants worldwide. It uses type III secretion system to inject effectors (T3Es) into plant cells, which affect the host immune responses facilitate pathogen colonization. However, current understanding specific molecular mechanisms targets these in A. limited. In this study, we characterized novel T3E called AopU group II strain Aac5, shares homology with XopU Xanthomonas oryzae ....

Acidovorax citrulli can cause bacterial fruit blotch of watermelon, melon, and other cucurbits, has the potential to severe economic losses growers throughout world. This article investigated functions interactions pilR pilS genes, two important genes in type IV pili systems, A. citrulli. For each gene, deletion mutants complementary strains were constructed via homologous recombination, their phenotypes determined. The results showed that absence could significantly reduce pathogenicity...
