The vascular wilt fungi Verticillium dahliae and V. albo-atrum infect over 200 plant species, causing billions of dollars in annual crop losses. characteristic symptoms are a result colonization proliferation the pathogens xylem vessels, which undergo fluctuations osmolarity. To gain insights into mechanisms that confer organisms' pathogenicity enable them to proliferate unique ecological niche system, we sequenced genomes compared each other, genome Fusarium oxysporum, another fungal...
Summary An interesting observation, reported for transgenic plants that have been engineered to overproduce osmolytes, is they often exhibit impaired growth in the absence of stress. As reduction and accumulation osmolytes both typically result from adaptation, we hypothesized may actually osmolyte accumulation. To examine this possibility more closely, intracellular proline level was manipulated by expressing mutated derivatives tomPRO2 (a Δ 1 ‐pyrroline‐5‐carboxylate synthetase, P5CS,...

Abstract Plant resistance to disease is controlled by the combination of defense response pathways that are activated depending on nature pathogen. We identified Arabidopsis thaliana BOTRYTIS-INDUCED KINASE1 (BIK1) gene transcriptionally regulated Botrytis cinerea infection. Inactivation BIK1 causes severe susceptibility necrotrophic fungal pathogens but enhances a virulent strain bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato. The an avirulent unchanged, limiting role basal rather than...
To investigate the clinical evolution of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in hospitalized pregnant women and potential factors associated with severe maternal outcomes.We designed a prospective multicenter cohort study acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection who were admitted to 12 Italian maternity hospitals between February 23 March 28, 2020. Clinical records, laboratory radiologic examinations, pregnancy outcomes collected. A subgroup patients was identified based on...
This paper reports an investigation on the regulation of mitochondrial cyclosporin A-sensitive permeability transition pore (MTP). Energized, coupled rat liver mitochondria incubated in sucrose medium presence phosphate maintain a high proton electrochemical gradient (delta microH) and low to solutes. Addition small (10-20 microM) Ca2+ pulse leads transient membrane depolarization. After accumulation, delta microH is recovered, remain indefinitely. Yet, addition fully uncoupling...
We report the results of a genome-wide analysis transcription in Arabidopsis thaliana after treatment with Pseudomonas syringae pathovar tomato. Our time course RNA-Seq experiment uses over 500 million read pairs to provide detailed characterization response infection both susceptible and resistant hosts. The set observed differentially expressed genes is consistent previous studies, confirming extending existing findings about likely play an important role defense syringae. high coverage...
Verticillium dahliae Klebahn is a soil-borne fungal pathogen causing vascular diseases. The penetrates the host through roots, spreads xylem, and systemically colonizes both resistant susceptible genotypes. To elucidate genetic molecular bases of plant-Verticillium interactions, we have developed pathosystem utilizing Arabidopsis thaliana an isolate V. pathogenic to cruciferous non-cruciferous crops. Relative tolerance (based on symptom severity) but no immunity was found in survey ecotypes....
Abstract We studied the function of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) Botrytis Susceptible1 Interactor (BOI) in plant responses to pathogen infection and abiotic stress. BOI physically interacts with ubiquitinates BOS1, an R2R3MYB transcription factor previously implicated stress responses. In transgenic plants expressing BOS1-β-glucuronidase transgene, β-glucuronidase activity could be detected only after inhibition proteosome, suggesting that BOS1 is a target ubiquitin-mediated...
Verticillium dahliae (Vd) and albo-atrum (Va) are cosmopolitan soil fungi causing very disruptive vascular diseases on a wide range of crop plants. To date, no sexual stage has been identified in either microorganism suggesting that somatic mutation is major force generating genetic diversity. Whole genome comparative analysis the recently sequenced strains VdLs.17 VaMs.102 revealed non-random insertions transposable elements (TEs) have contributed to generation four lineage-specific (LS)...
Three Botrytis-susceptible mutants bos2, bos3, and bos4 which define independent novel genetic loci required for Arabidopsis resistance to Botrytis cinerea were isolated. The bos2 mutant is susceptible B. but retains wild-type levels of other pathogens tested, indicative a defect in response pathway more specific cinerea. bos3 also show increased susceptibility Alternaria brassicicola, another necrotrophic pathogen, suggesting broader role these resistance. shows the broadest range effects...
The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is a multi-protein complex that regulates the activities of cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligases (CRLs). CRLs ubiquitinate proteins in order to target them for proteasomal degradation. CSN required proper plant development. Here we show also has profound effect on defense responses. Silencing genes subunits tomato plants resulted mild morphological phenotype and reduced expression wound-responsive response mechanical wounding, attack by Manduca sexta larvae,...
