SUMMARY Introduction: Verticillium spp. are soil‐borne plant pathogens responsible for wilt diseases in temperate and subtropical regions; collectively they affect over 200 hosts, including many economically important crops . There currently no fungicides available to cure plants once infected. Taxonomy: Kingdom: Fungi, phylum: Ascomycota, subphylum, Pezizomycotina, class: Sordariomycetes, order: Phyllachorales, genus: Host range disease symptoms: Over mainly dicotyledonous species...
Vascular wilt diseases caused by soil-borne pathogens are among the most devastating plant worldwide. The Verticillium genus includes vascular with a wide host range. Although V. longisporum infects various hosts belonging to Cruciferaceae, dahliae and albo-atrum cause in over 200 dicotyledonous species, including economically important crops. A locus responsible for resistance against race 1 strains of has been cloned from tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) only. This locus, known as Ve,...
Abstract Vascular wilts caused by soil-borne fungal species of the Verticillium genus are devastating plant diseases. The most common species, dahliae and albo-atrum, have broad host ranges notoriously difficult to control. Therefore, genetic resistance is preferred method for disease Only from tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) has a locus been cloned, comprising Ve1 gene that encodes receptor-like protein-type cell surface receptor. Due lack suitable model protein (RLP)-mediated signaling in...
Summary Plants are exposed to combinations of various biotic and abiotic stresses, but stress responses usually investigated for single stresses only. Here, we the genetic architecture underlying plant 11 several their by phenotyping 350 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions. A set 214 000 nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNP s) was screened marker‐trait associations in genome‐wide association GWA ) analyses using tailored multi‐trait mixed models. Stress that share phytohormonal signaling pathways also...
RNA silencing is a conserved mechanism in eukaryotes that plays an important role various biological processes including regulation of gene expression. also genome stability and protects plants against invading nucleic acids such as transgenes viruses. Recently, has been found to play defence bacterial plant pathogens Arabidopsis through modulating host responses. In this study, it shown multicellular microbial pathogens; vascular fungi belonging the Verticillium genus. Several components...
The perception of pathogen-derived elicitors by plants has been suggested to involve phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase-C (PI-PLC) signalling. Here we show that PLC isoforms are required for the hypersensitive response (HR) and disease resistance. We characterised tomato [Solanum lycopersicum (Sl)] gene family. Six Sl PLC-encoding cDNAs were isolated their expression in infection with pathogenic fungus Cladosporium fulvum was studied. found significant regulation at transcriptional...
Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from Caenorhabditis elegans wild-type N2 and CB4856 are increasingly being used for mapping genes underlying complex traits. To speed up gene discovery, introgression (ILs) offer a powerful tool more efficient QTL identification. We constructed library of 90 ILs, each carrying single homozygous genomic segment introgressed into the genetic background N2. The ILs were genotyped by 123 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. proportion segments in...
For crops that are grown for their fruits or seeds, elevated temperatures occur during flowering and seed fruit set have a stronger effect on yield than high the vegetative stage. Even short-term exposure to heat can large impact yield. In this study, we used Arabidopsis thaliana study of flower development. The single hot day (35°C) was determined in more 250 natural accessions by measuring lengths siliques along main inflorescence. Two sensitive developmental stages were identified, one...
Resistance in tomato against race 1 strains of the fungal vascular wilt pathogens Verticillium dahliae and V. albo-atrum is mediated by Ve locus. This locus comprises two closely linked inversely oriented genes, Ve1 Ve2, which encode cell surface receptors extracellular leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein (eLRR-RLP) type. While mediates resistance through monitoring presence recently identified Ave1 effector, no functionality for Ve2 has been demonstrated tomato. contain 37 eLRRs share...
Plant activation of host defense against pathogenic microbes requires significant transcriptional reprogramming. In this study, we compared changes in tomato during compatible and incompatible interactions with the foliar fungal pathogen Cladosporium fulvum vascular Verticillium dahliae. Although both pathogens colonize different tissues, they display distinct commonalities their infection strategy; penetrate natural openings grow strictly extracellular. Furthermore, resistance is conveyed...
Recognition of pathogen effectors by plant immune receptors often leads to the activation a hypersensitive response (HR), which is rapid and localized cell death tissue surrounding site at recognition occurs. Due its particular amenability transient assays for functional genetics, tobacco model signaling in Solanaceae family. Here, we show that coexpression tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) receptor Ve1 corresponding Verticillium effector protein Ave1 HR only species. Whereas obtained Nicotiana...
Sorghum is an important food, feed, and industrial crop worldwide. Parasitic weeds of the genus Striga constitute a major constraint to sorghum production, particularly in drier parts world. In this study we analysed germination stimulants, strigolactones, root exudates 36 genotypes assessed infection. Low germination-stimulating activity low infection correlated with exudation amounts 5-deoxystrigol high orobanchol, whereas susceptibility concentrations orobanchol. Marker analysis suggested...
The recognition of pathogen effectors by plant immune receptors leads to the activation responses that often include a hypersensitive response (HR): rapid and localized host cell death surrounding site attempted ingress. We have demonstrated previously Verticillium dahliae effector protein Ave1 tomato receptor Ve1 triggers an HR in tobacco. Furthermore, we provides resistance Arabidopsis upon recognition. In this study, investigated whether co-expression results HR, which could facilitate...
Induction of anthocyanin accumulation by osmotic stress was assessed in 360 accessions Arabidopsis thaliana. A wide range natural variation, with phenotypes ranging from green to completely red/purple rosettes, observed. genome association (GWA) mapping approach revealed that sequence diversity a small 15 kb region on chromosome 1 explained 40% the variation Sequence and expression analyses alleles candidate gene MYB90 identified causal polymorphism at amino acid (AA) position 210 this...
