Chitin is a major component of fungal cell wall and synthesized by chitin synthases (Chs). Plant pathogenic fungi normally have multiple synthase genes. To determine their roles in development pathogenesis, we functionally characterized all seven CHS genes Magnaporthe oryzae. Three them, CHS1, CHS6, CHS7, were found to be important for plant infection. While the chs6 mutant was non-pathogenic, chs1 chs7 mutants significantly reduced virulence. CHS1 plays specific role conidiogenesis, an...
Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the most destructive diseases rice worldwide. The fungal pathogen notorious for its ability to overcome host resistance. To better understand genetic variation in nature, we sequenced genomes two field isolates, Y34 and P131. In comparison with previously laboratory strain 70-15, both isolates had a similar genome size but slightly more genes. Sequences from were used improve assembly gene prediction 70-15. Although overall structure similar,...
Grapevine trunk diseases have become one of the main threats to grape production worldwide, with Diaporthe species as an emerging group pathogens in China. At present, relatively little is known about taxonomy and genetic diversity Chinese populations, including their relationships other populations worldwide. Here, we conducted extensive field survey six provinces China identify characterize vineyards. Ninety-four isolates were identified analyzed using multi-locus phylogeny. The belonged...
In rice, the critical regulator of salicylic acid signalling pathway is OsWRKY45, a transcription factor (TF) WRKY TF family that functions by binding to W-box gene promoters, but structural basis OsWRKY45/W-box DNA recognition unknown. Here, we show crystal structure domain OsWRKY45 (OsWRKY45–DBD, i.e. and zinc finger domain) in complex with DNA. Surprisingly, two OsWRKY45–DBD molecules exchange β4-β5 strands form dimer. The swapping occurs at hinge region between β3 β4 strands, bridged...
Lesion mimic mutants are used to elucidate mechanisms controlling plant responses pathogen attacks and environmental stresses. Although dozens of genes had been functionally demonstrated be involved in lesion phenotype several species, the molecular underlying hypersensitive response largely unknown. Here, a rice (Oryza sativa) mutant natural blight leaf 3 (nbl3) was identified from T-DNA insertion lines. The causative gene, OsNBL3, encodes mitochondrion-localized pentatricopeptide repeat...
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis is essential for plants to manage responses under environmental stress. Plant immune activation requires the ER, but how ER associated with plant largely unexplored. Here we find that transcription of an HVA22 family gene, OsHLP1 (HVA22-like protein 1), induced by Magnaporthe oryzae infection. Overexpression significantly enhances blast disease resistance impairs morphology in rice (Oryza sativa), resulting enhanced sensitivity interacts NAC (NAM, ATAF,...
Astragalus sinicus and Vicia villosa; are frequently applied green manure plants used in China.However, there is poor knowledge of the fungal endophytic community mycobiome crops.Field surveys were conducted during 2017-2019 four provinces China.Asymptomatic plant parts collected.Using a culture-dependent method, 517 isolates obtained from villosa.These further identified using combination morphological multi-loci phylogenetic analyses differentiated into 30 species 15 genera ten families...
Three Pestalotiopsis isolates were obtained from leaves of Coffea arabica and Rhodomyrtus tomentosa. Among them, two produced versicolorous conidia, the other concolorous conidia. Phylogenetic analysis based on a combination ITS, β-tubulin tef1 gene sequence data clearly confirms that they belong to species distinguishes them in this genus, with ex-type GenBank. On basis evidence morphology molecular phylogeny are described as new species, coffeae-arabicae sp. nov. P. rhodomyrtus
Fungal avirulence effectors, a key weapon utilized by pathogens to promote their infection, are recognized immune receptors boost host R gene-mediated resistance. Many effectors share sparse sequence homology proteins with known functions, and molecular biochemical functions together the evolutionary relationship among different members remain largely unknown. Here, crystal structure of AvrPib, an effector from Magnaporthe oryzae, was determined showed high degree similarity M. oryzae Avrs...
Magnaporthe oryzae is the causative agent of rice blast, a devastating disease in worldwide. Based on gene-for-gene paradigm, resistance (R) proteins can recognize their cognate avirulence (AVR) effectors to activate effector-triggered immunity. AVR genes have been demonstrated evolve rapidly, leading breakdown genes. Therefore, understanding variation essential deployment resistant cultivars harboring R In this study, we analyzed nucleotide sequence polymorphisms eight known genes, namely,...
Summary Brassinosteroids (BRs) play a crucial role in shaping the architecture of rice ( Oryza sativa ) plants. However, regulatory mechanism BR signalling immunity remains largely unexplored. Here we identify mutant dla , which exhibits decreased leaf angles and is insensitive to 24‐epiBL (a highly active synthetic BR), resembling BR‐deficient phenotype. The mutation caused by T‐DNA insertion OsDLA gene leads downregulation causative . knockout plants display reduced less sensitivity...
Rice blast caused by Pyricularia oryzae (syn., Magnaporthe oryzae) was one of the most destructive diseases rice throughout world. Genome assembly fundamental to genetic variation identification and critically impacted understanding its ability overcome host resistance. Here, we report a gapless genome fungus P. strain P131 using PacBio, Illumina high throughput chromatin conformation capture (Hi-C) sequencing data. This contained seven complete chromosomes (43,237,743 bp) circular...
BackgroundConjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a group of positional and geometrical conjugated dienoic isomers acid. Our aim was investigate the effect 8-week dietary CLA supplementation on blood pressure, concentrations plasma adiponecin, leptin, as well angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity in obese hypertensive subjects.
Glutamate homeostasis plays a vital role in central nitrogen metabolism and coordinates several key metabolic functions. However, its function fungal pathogenesis development has not been investigated detail. In this study, we identified characterized glutamate synthase gene MoGLT1 the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae that was important to homeostasis. constitutively expressed, but showed highest expression level appressoria. Deletion of resulted significant reduction conidiation...
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) can be incorporated into ruminant diets as a postbiotic product. This study aimed to explore the effects of supplementing different levels SC in mid-fattening Angus steers under heat stress conditions. A total twenty-seven were randomly allocated 3 groups: control, 30 g addition and 60 groups. After 7-day adaptation period followed by 120-day experimental period, including respiratory rate, rectal temperature, growth performance, apparent digestibility...
The inherent flammability and toxic smoke emission of epoxy resins (EPs) pose significant challenges to their advanced engineering applications. To address this limitation, we developed a novel flame-retardant additive through the organic modification layered double hydroxides (LDHs) using ternary MgAlLa hydrotalcite structure intercalated with phosphotungstic acid (PWA). This innovative design established synergistic mechanism by combining catalytic carbonization effect lanthanum radical...
Glycine-rich proteins (GRPs) have diverse amino acid sequences and are involved in a variety of biological processes. The role GRPs plant pathogenic fungi has not been reported. In this study, we identified functionally characterized novel gene named MoGRP1 Magnaporthe oryzae, which encodes protein that an N-terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM) C-terminal glycine-rich domain with four Arg-Gly-Gly (RGG) repeats. Deletion resulted dramatic reductions fungal virulence, mycelial growth,...
