In this article, we describe the presence of genes encoding close homologues an endogenous plant peptide, rapid alkalinization factor (RALF), within genomes 26 species phytopathogenic fungi. Members RALF family are key growth factors in plants, and sequence active region is well conserved between fungal proteins. RALF1-like sequences were observed most cases; however, RALF27-like present Sphaerulina musiva Septoria populicola genomes. These two pathogens poplar and, interestingly, closest...
RNA sequencing (RNAseq) reads from cape gooseberry plants (Physalis peruviana) infected with Fusarium oxysporumf. sp. physali (Foph) were mapped against the lineage-specific transcriptome of lycopersici (Fol) to look for putative effector genes. Homologues Fol SIX1(designated SIX1a and SIX1b), SIX7, SIX10, SIX12, SIX15 Ave1were identified. The near identity Foph SIX10 SIX12genes their intergenic regions suggest that this gene cluster may have undergone recent lateral transfer. SIX1bwere...
In Colombia, tomato production under protected conditions represents an important economic contribution to the agricultural sector. Fusarium wilt diseases, caused by pathogenic formae speciales of soil-borne fungus oxysporum Schltdl., cause significant yield losses in tomatoes throughout world. Investigation F. oxysporum–tomato pathosystem Colombia is required develop appropriate alternative disease management. this study, 120 fungal isolates were obtained from four different departments...
Physalis peruviana, commonly known as Cape gooseberry, is an Andean Solanaceae fruit with high nutritional value and interesting medicinal properties. In the present study we report development characterization of microsatellite loci from a P. peruviana commercial Colombian genotype. We identified 932 imperfect 201 perfect Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) in untranslated regions (UTRs) 304 83 SSR coding assembled leaf transcriptome. The UTR were used for 162 primers amplification. efficiency...
The vascular wilt disease caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. physali ( Foph ) is one of most limiting factors for production and export cape gooseberry Physalis peruviana in Colombia. A transcriptomic analysis a highly virulent strain F. plants, revealed presence secreted xylem (SIX) effector genes, known to be involved pathogenicity other formae speciales (ff. spp.) . This pathogenic was classified as new named , due its specificity hosts. Here, we sequenced assembled genome...
Abstract Fusarium wilt of banana, caused by the pathogen oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4), is a threat to food security as it affects global banana industry. Control this complex due lack resistant or plantain genotypes, effective commercial fungicides, production chlamydospores, late appearance symptoms in infected plants, high adaptability diverse soil conditions and polycyclic nature disease. Currently, management strategy for Foc TR4 exclusion eradication, which costly...
The plant species Cedrela odorata has been largely exploited in the timber industry due to high demand for its wood. Therefore, C. considered a vulnerable since 1994, under Convention on International Trade Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). is key included management conservation plans Amazon Central American rainforests. These include development genetic genomic resources study local populations Colombia. In this study, two novel chloroplast (cp) genomes were assembled...
Fusarium wilt of banana, caused by the pathogen oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (Foc TR4) is a threat for food security as it affects global banana industry. The development early detection strategies Foc TR4, from asymptomatic tissues with low inoculum concentration and environmental samples an indispensable prerequisite to restrict spread minimize impact eradicating area accurate data pathogen’s presence. In this study, three different PCR technologies (conventional PCR, qPCR...
Abstract The plant species Cedrela odorata has been largely exploited in the timber industry due to high demand of its wood. Therefore, C. , considered as a vulnerable since 1994, with Convention on International Trade Endangered Species Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). is one key included management conservation plans Colombia. These include study local populations by developing genetic resources for species. In this study, two novel chloroplast (cp) genomes have generated using MinION long...
Abstract The vascular wilt disease caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. physali ( Foph ) is one of most limiting factors for production and export cape gooseberry Physalis peruviana in Colombia. A previous study transcriptomic profile a highly virulent strain F. plants, from collection 136 fungal isolates obtained wilted revealed presence secreted xylem (SIX) effector genes, known to be involved pathogenicity other formae speciales (ff. spp.). This pathogenic was named , due its...
