Argonaute (AGO) proteins bind to small RNAs induce RNA interference (RNAi), a conserved gene regulatory mechanism in animal, plant, and fungal kingdoms. Small of the plant pathogen Botrytis cinerea were previously shown translocate into cells host AGO, which induced cross-kingdom RNAi promote infection. However, role AGOs during infection stayed elusive. In this study, we revealed that members B. BcAGO family contribute BcAGO1 binds both acts bidirectional RNAi, from fungus vice versa....
Abstract Cross-kingdom or cross-species RNA interference (RNAi) is broadly present in many interacting systems between microbes/parasites and their plant animal hosts. A recent study by Qin et al . (2022) performed correlation analysis using global sRNA- mRNA-deep sequencing data of cultured B. cinerea -infected tomato leaves claimed that cross-kingdom RNAi may not occur –tomato interaction (Qin ., 2022). Here, we use experimental evidence additional bioinformatics the datasets produced to...
Small RNAs act as fungal pathogen effectors that silence host target genes to promote infection, a virulence mechanism termed cross-kingdom RNA interference (RNAi). The essential factors of small production are largely unknown. We here characterized the RNA-dependent polymerase (RDR)1 in plant Botrytis cinerea is required for pathogenicity and RNAi. B. bcrdr1 knockout (ko) mutants exhibited reduced loss RNAs. developed "switch-on" GFP reporter study RNAi real-time within living tissue which...
Salicylic acid (SA) is a key phytohormone that mediates broad spectrum of resistance against diverse range viruses; however, the downstream pathway SA governed antiviral immune response remains largely to be explored. Here, we identified an orchid protein containing A20 and AN1 zinc finger domains, designated Pha13. Pha13 up-regulated upon virus infection, transgenic monocot dicot Arabidopsis overexpressing conferred greater different viruses. In addition, our data showed homolog Pha13,...
Bakanae is a seedborne disease caused by Fusarium fujikuroi. Rice seedlings emerging from infected seeds can show diverse symptoms such as elongated and slender stem leaves, pale coloring, large leaf angle, stunted growth even death. Little known about rice defense mechanisms at early stages of development.This study focused on investigating defenses against F. fujikuroi in susceptible cultivar, Zerawchanica karatals (ZK), resistant Tainung 67 (TNG67). Quantitative PCR revealed that...

Bananas are among the world's most important cash and staple crops but threatened by various devastating pathogens. The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) plays a key role in regulation of plant immune response. Tracking expression SA-responsive marker genes under pathogen infection is pathogenesis elucidation. However, common not consistently induced different banana cultivars or organs. Here, we conducted transcriptome analysis for SA response cultivar, 'Pei-Chiao' (Cavendish, AAA genome),...
ABSTRACT Salicylic acid (SA)-mediated immunity plays important roles in combating virus plants. Two plant stress associated protein (SAPs) containing dual A20/AN1 zinc-finger domain were found to play SA-mediated immunity; however, detailed mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, another orchid homolog gene of Pha13 , Pha21 was analyzed. confers antiviral both transgenic and Arabidopsis overexpressing Pha21. Expression is early-induced by SA treatment, involved the expression master...
Salicylic acid (SA) triggers plant immunity through redox state changes, initially oxidizing and then reducing. SA binds inhibits the H2O2-scavenging enzyme catalase 2 (CAT2), promoting an initial oxidative state. However, a reduced is crucial for robust immune response. In Arabidopsis, SA-induced A20/AN1 zinc finger protein, AtSAP5, competes with CAT2 binding, maintaining activity. This reduces H2O2 levels prevents degradation inhibition of H2O2-induced autophagy formation, which forms...
Abstract Background: Banana, an important cash and staple crop worldwide, suffers from various biotrophic hemi-biotrophic pathogens. In plants’ defense against these pathogens, the phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) plays a key role in regulation of immune response. Using specific set SA-responsive genes as markers is frequently adopted to monitor onset SA-mediated However, reliable marker have not been well established bananas. Results: From transcriptome analysis SA-treated ‘Pei-Chiao’...
