Mycoviruses are viruses that infect fungi and have the potential to control fungal diseases of crops when associated with hypovirulence. Typically, mycoviruses double-stranded (ds) or single-stranded (ss) RNA genomes. No DNA genomes previously been reported. Here, we describe a hypovirulence-associated circular ssDNA mycovirus from plant pathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum . The genome this virus, named virus 1 (SsHADV-1), is 2166 nt, coding for replication initiation protein (Rep)...
Thellungiella salsuginea, a close relative of Arabidopsis , represents an extremophile model for abiotic stress tolerance studies. We present the draft sequence T. salsuginea genome, assembled based on ∼134-fold coverage to seven chromosomes with coding capacity at least 28,457 genes. This genome provides resources and evidence about nature defense mechanisms constituting genetic basis underlying plant tolerance. Comparative genomics experimental analyses identified genes related cation...
Mycoviruses are thought not to be infectious as free particles and lack an extracellular phase in their life cycles, limiting the broad use of hypovirulence-associated mycoviruses controlling fungal disease. Here, we demonstrate that purified a DNA mycovirus, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum virus 1 (SsHADV-1), when applied extracellularly its host . Virus isolated from infected can infect hyphae virus-free S. directly grown on potato dextrose agar or sprayed leaves Arabidopsis thaliana Brassica...
Abscission is a developmental process that enables plants to shed unwanted organs. In Arabidopsis, the floral organ abscission regulated by signaling pathway consisting of peptide ligand IDA, receptor-like kinases (RLKs) HAE and HSL2, downstream MAP kinase (MAPK) cascade. However, little known about molecular link between ligand-receptor pairs intracellular signaling. Here, we report SERK family RLKs function redundantly in regulating IDA upstream MAPK induces heterodimerization HAE/HSL2...
Mycoviruses are viruses that infect fungi, and hypovirulence-associated mycoviruses have the potential to control fungal diseases. However, it is unclear how mycovirus-mediated hypovirulent strains live survive in field, no mycovirus has been applied for field crop protection. In this study, we found a previously identified small DNA (SsHADV-1) can convert its host, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, from typical necrotrophic pathogen beneficial endophytic fungus. SsHADV-1 downregulates expression of...
Carotenoids play important roles in many biological processes, such as light harvesting, photoprotection and visual attraction plants. However, the regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis is still not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that SlBBX20, a B-box (BBX) zinc-finger transcription factor, positive regulator accumulation tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Overexpression SlBBX20 leads to dark green fruits leaves higher levels carotenoids relative wild-type. Interactions between...
Abstract Non-self recognition is a fundamental aspect of life, serving as crucial mechanism for mitigating proliferation molecular parasites within fungal populations. However, studies investigating the potential interference plants with non-self mechanisms are limited. Here, we demonstrate pronounced increase in efficiency horizontal mycovirus transmission between vegetatively incompatible Sclerotinia sclerotiorum strains planta compared to vitro. This increased associated elevated proline...
Significance The innate immune response is initiated by the recognition of conserved microbial signatures via membrane-resident receptor complex. dimerization and phosphorylation Arabidopsis protein kinase complex FLS2/BAK1/BIK1 essential to initiate transduce signaling bacterial flagellin. BIK1, a classic serine/threonine kinase, was found here be autophosphorylated transphosphorylated BAK1 at multiple tyrosine residues relay plant signaling. function activity BIK1 in plants echoes...
Fusarium asiaticum and F. graminearum are the primary causal agents of head blight (FHB) wheat in China. In this study, sensitivities 159 isolates to a benzimidazole fungicide carbendazim (MBC) sterol demethylation inhibitors (DMIs) tebuconazole prochloraz were determined. Among isolates, 9 resistant MBC designated as MBC-R isolates. Three showed resistance DMI-R There was no cross-resistance between DMI. Genetic analysis by microsatellite-primed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that or had...
Mycoviruses are usually transmitted horizontally via hyphal anastomosis and vertically sexual/asexual spores. Previously, we reported that a gemycircularvirus, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum hypovirulence-associated DNA virus 1 (SsHADV-1), could infect its fungal host extracellularly. Here, discovered SsHADV-1 mycophagous insect, Lycoriella ingenua, use it as transmission vector. Virus acquired by larvae feeding on colonies of virus-infected strain S. was replicated retained in larvae, pupae,...
Proper control of immune-related gene expression is crucial for the host to launch an effective defense response. Perception microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) induces rapid and profound transcriptional reprogramming via unclear mechanisms. Here, we show that ASR3 (ARABIDOPSIS SH4-RELATED3) functions as a repressor plays negative role in regulating pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) Arabidopsis thaliana. belongs plant-specific trihelix transcription factor family which functional...
In addition to vertical transmission, organisms can also acquire genes from other distantly related species or their extra-chromosomal elements (plasmids and viruses) via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). It has been suggested that phages represent substantial forces in prokaryotic evolution. eukaryotes, retroviruses, which integrate into host genome as an obligate step replication strategy, comprise approximately 8% of the human genome. Unlike few members virus families are known genomes.Here...
Under saline conditions, higher plants restrict the accumulation of chloride ions (Cl–) in shoot by regulating their transfer from root symplast into xylem-associated apoplast. To identify molecular mechanisms underpinning this phenomenon, we undertook a transcriptional screen salt stressed Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) roots. Microarrays, quantitative RT-PCR, and promoter-GUS fusions identified candidate gene involved Cl– xylem loading Nitrate transporter 1/Peptide Transporter family...
Abstract Fungal pathogens are seriously threatening food security and natural ecosystems; efficient environmentally friendly control methods essential to help safeguard such resources for increasing human populations on a global scale. Here, we find that Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, widespread pathogen of dicotyledons, can grow endophytically in wheat, rice, barley, maize, oat, providing protection against Fusarium head blight, stripe rust, rice blast. Protection is also provided by disabled S....
Abstract Plants deploy various immune receptors to recognize pathogens and defend themselves. Crosstalk may happen among receptor-mediated signal transduction pathways in the same host during simultaneous infection of different pathogens. However, related function receptor-like kinases (RLKs) thwarting remains elusive. Here, we report that NIK1, which positively regulates plant antiviral immunity, acts as an important negative regulator antibacterial immunity. nik1 plants exhibit dwarfed...
SsITL, a secretory protein of the necrotrophic phytopathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, was previously reported to suppress host immunity at early stages infection. However, molecular mechanism that SsITL uses inhibit plant defence against S. sclerotiorum has not yet been elucidated. Here, we report interacted with chloroplast-localized calcium-sensing receptor, CAS, in chloroplasts. We found CAS is positive regulator salicylic acid signalling pathway and CAS-mediated resistance depends on...
The bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum causes wilt disease on Arabidopsis thaliana and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). This uses type III effectors to inhibit the plant immune system; however, how individual interfere with responses, including transcriptional reprograming, remain elusive. Here, we show that effector RipAB targets TGACG SEQUENCE-SPECIFIC BINDING PROTEIN (TGA) transcription factors, central regulators of gene regulation, via physical interaction in nucleus dampen...
