Banana is one of the most important fruits in world due to its status as a major food source for more than 400 million people. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4) causes substantial losses banana crops every year, and molecular host resistance mechanisms are currently unknown. We here performed genomewide analysis autophagy-related protein 8 (ATG8) family wild species. The genome was found contain 10 MaATG8 genes. Four MaATG8s formed gene cluster distal part...
The manganese peroxidase (MnP) can degrade multiple mycotoxins including deoxynivalenol (DON) efficiently; however, the lignin components abundant in foods and feeds were discovered to interfere with DON catalysis. Herein, using MnP from Ceriporiopsis subvermispora (CsMnP) as a model, it was demonstrated that desired catalysis of DON, but not futile reactions lignin, reaction systems containing could be achieved by engineering supplementing boosting reactant. Specifically, two successive...
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4) causes wilt of banana, the most devastating disease on a banana plant. The genome Foc TR4 encodes many candidate effector proteins. However, little is known about functions these proteins their contributions to development and virulence. Here, we discovered secreted metalloprotease, FocM35_1, which an essential virulence TR4. FocM35_1 was highly upregulated during early stages infection progress in bananas. knockout mutant...
Thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) are crucial pathogenesis-related that significantly contribute to plant defense rection. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) causes wilt of bananas, a serious threat global production. However, the role TLPs in disease resistance remains unclear. This study identified 49 TLP genes banana, predominantly localized extracellular space, and distributed across 11 chromosomes. The ancestor–descendant relationship was explained, six remained remarkably conserved...
The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor (TF) family performs diverse functions in fungal processes, including vegetative growth, nutrient utilization, stress responses, and invasion. Despite their importance, little is known about the bZIP members Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4), a highly virulent banana pathogen. In this study, we systematically identified 17 bZIPs distributed across 10 Foc TR4 chromosomes classified them into four types based on...
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4) is well-known as the causal agent of wilt banana and one most destructive phytopathogens for plants. The molecular mechanisms underlying Foc TR4 virulence remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate that a cerato-platanin (CP) protein, FocCP1, functions factor required by penetration full virulence. FocCP1 gene was expressed in every condition studied, showing high transcript level planta at early stage infection. Infiltration recombinant...
Abstract Indoor studies were conducted to determine the potential use of Pantoea agglomerans isolate LRC 8311 as a biocontrol agent for control bacterial wilt bean caused by Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. . Soaking seeds great northern cv. US1140 in suspension 3 × 10 8 cfu/ml P. resulted thorough endophytic colonization entire seedling from root apical stem after 7 days, regardless whether inoculated hilum injured or not. Colonization seedlings increased height and had no negative effect...
ECM33, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein, is important for fungal development and infection through regulating cell wall integrity, however, the functions of its orthologs in pathogenesis have not been characterized Fusarium oxysporum. Here, we discovered GPI-anchored FocECM33, which required vegetative growth virulence Fusasium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4). FocECM33 was highly upregulated during early process Foc TR4 banana roots. The targeted...
Abstract Bacterial wilt, caused by Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. (CFF), was a serious disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in the United States early 1970s but not reported for two decades after that time. Following this absence, again North Dakota 1995 and Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming from 2004 to 2007. In addition three coloured variants (yellow, orange purple) CFF 1970s, new pink variant pathogen discovered Nebraska 2008. Canada, central Canada (Ontario) 1950s. The yellow were...
Abstract Bacterial wilt caused by Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. is an important new disease of common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris ) in western Canada. Both yellow and orange variants the pathogen were found region. A controlled environment study was conducted to assess 124 cultivars lines from eight market classes for resistance pathogen, using hilum injury/seed inoculation method. Results screening tests showed significant (P < 0.05) differences bacterial among or lines. The great...

Abstract The commercial dry bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L) production system in Alberta requires irrigation and the viny cultivars currently used this are prone to outbreaks of white mold caused by Sclerotinia sderotiorum (Lib.) de Bary. use beans with an upright growth habit has potential for alleviating disease problem, but narrow profile may warrant a different planting pattern achieve high yield. A study was undertaken determine effect between‐ within‐row spacings on occurrence seed yield...
Modern plant breeding relies heavily on the deployment of susceptibility and resistance genes to defend crops against diseases. The expression these is usually regulated by transcription factors including members AP2/ERF family. While are a vital component immune response, little known their specific roles in defense Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4) banana plants. In this study, we discovered that MaERF12, pathogen-induced ERF bananas, acts as gene Foc TR4. yeast...
