The systemic fungal endophyte of the grass Achnatherum inebrians, Epichloë gansuensis, has important roles in enhancing resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. In this work, we first evaluated effects E. gansuensis on nitrogen metabolism, use efficiency, stoichiometry A. inebrians under varying concentrations. results demonstrated that significantly improved growth low conditions. fresh dry weights, reductase, nitrite glutamine synthetase activity, NO3-, NH4+, N, P content, also total N...
Abstract The relationship between evolutionary rates and gene expression in model plant orthologs is well documented. However, little known about the relationships trends Arachis orthologs. We identified 7,435 one-to-one orthologs, including 925 single-copy 6,510 multiple-copy sequences duranensis ipaënsis . Codon usage was stronger for shorter polypeptides, which were encoded by codons with higher GC contents. Highly expressed coding had codon bias, content, breadth. Additionally, breadth...
The development of high-quality herbage is an important aspect animal husbandry. Inoculating beneficial fungi onto inferior grass a feasible strategy for producing new varieties herbage. Epichloë bromicola candidate fungus that isolated from Elymus tangutorum. A total 17 metabolites, 1–17, were obtained E. bromicola, and their biological activities assayed. Metabolite 1 exhibited antifungal against Alternaria alternata, Fusarium avenaceum, Bipolaris sorokiniana, Curvularia lunata. EC50...
Analysis of codon usage data has both practical and theoretical applications in understanding the basics molecular biology. Differences patterns among genes reflect variations local base compositional biases intensity natural selection. Recently, there have been several reports related to fungi, but little is known about bias Epichloë endophytes. The present study aimed assess 4870 sequences from festucae, which may be helpful revealing constraint factors such as mutation or selection...
A new species of Microdochium was identified as the causal agent leaf blight seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum), a turf grass widely used in tropical and subtropical golf courses. In 2010 foliar necrosis canopy thinning were observed on 11 surveyed courses Hainan province, China, especially fairways putting greens. The infected leaves initially appeared water-soaked dark green, rapidly faded to yellow or became chlorotic quickly died, resulting sparse appearance areas, leading disease...
Codon usage bias plays an important role in shaping genomes and genes unicellular species multicellular species. Here, we first analyzed codon seven Epichloë their peramine-coding genes. Our results showed that both natural selection mutation pressure played a forming All contained gene cluster. Interestingly, of were not affected by or pressure. There 13 codons more frequently found genome sequences, clusters orthologous genes, all which had to end with C nucleotide. In the analyzed, was...
Asexual fungal endophytes of the genus Epichloë form mutually beneficial associations with cool-season pasture grasses such as ryegrasses (Lolium spp.). Alkaloid production by fungus confers both (deterrence invertebrate herbivory) and detrimental (toxicity to mammalian livestock) attributes. A few novel strains desirable metabolite profiles have been advanced into commercial inoculation perennial ryegrass cultivars. In present study, an integrated process for discovery based on exploitation...
The Epichloë endophyte-Festuca sinensis association produces alkaloids which can protect the host plant from biotic and abiotic stresses. Alkaloid concentrations depend on genetic predisposition of grass endophyte, are affected by environment. Endophyte infected F. six ecotypes were grown in experimental field greenhouse for 2 years. Their aboveground tissues collected each season to test peramine, lolitrem B, ergot concentrations. results showed that seasonal changes B endophyte-F....
This study explored the effects of
The temperate pasture grass Lolium perenne L. is commonly found in symbiotic association with the asexual fungal endophyte Neotyphodium lolii. Levels of colonisation and alkaloid content were evaluated associations formed by plant genotypes from cv. Bronsyn standard (SE) five distinct commercial strains. Bronsyn–SE produced all measured alkaloids (lolitrem B, peramine, ergovaline). Bronsyn–AR1 only while Bronsyn–AR37 none tested alkaloids. Bronsyn–NEA2, Bronsyn–NEA3, Bronsyn–NEA6 both...
Root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne incognita are one of the most destructive pathogens, causing severe losses to tobacco productivity and quality. However, underlying resistance mechanism M. is not clear. In this study, two genotypes, K326 Changbohuang, which resistant susceptible incognita, respectively, were used for RNA-sequencing analysis. An average 35 million clean reads obtained. Compared with their expression levels in non-infected plants same genotype, 4354 545 differentially expressed...
Root-knot nematode (RKN) disease is a major of tobacco worldwide, which seriously hinders the improvement yield and quality. Obvious veinal necrosis-hypersensitive responses are observed only in RKN-resistant lines infected by Potyvirus Y (PVY) M S N R , making this an effective approach to screen for tobacco. RNA-seq analysis, real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) functional enrichment analysis were conducted gain insight into transcription dynamics difference between G28 (RKN-resistant) CBH...
The temperate pasture grass Lolium perenne L. is commonly found in association with the fungal endophyte Neotyphodium lolii. Viability of both seed and was evaluated by inoculation individual genotypes from host cultivar Bronsyn six distinct strains. resulting populations were subjected to either long-term storage under various temperature conditions, or accelerated ageing (AA) treatments. High detrimental viability. AA variables (relative humidity [RH] time) subsequent duration...
The Chinese native cool-season perennial grass species Festuca sinensis Keng ex E.B.Alexeev exhibits frequent asymptomatic infections with an asexual Epichloë fungal endophyte. Six ecotypes were collected in different geographical locations. Endophyte-positive (E+) plants and corresponding endophyte-free (E–) of these six identified then measured for shoot morphological characteristics including plant height, tiller number biomass. Significant difference due to host ecotype was observed both...
