Sucrose non-fermenting protein kinase gene UvSnf1 is required for virulence in Ustilaginoidea virens.

ABSTRACT: Rice false smut caused by Ustilaginoidea virens is becoming one of the most devastating diseases in rice production areas in the world. Revealing U. virens potential pathogenic mechanisms provides ideas for formulating more effective prevention and control strategies. Sucrose non-fermenting 1 (Snf1) protein kinase plays a critical role in activating transcription and suppressing gene expression, as well as in cellular response to various stresses, such as nutrient limitation. In our study, we identified the Snf1 homolog UvSnf1 and analyzed its biological functions in U. virens. The expression level of UvSnf1 was dramatically up-regulated during invasion, indicating that UvSnf1 may participate in infection. Phenotypic analyses of UvSnf1 deletion mut
