Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Revealed Genes Regulated by Histone Acetylation and Genes Related to Sex Hormone Biosynthesis in Phytophthora infestans.

ABSTRACT: Late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans, is one of the most devastating diseases of potato, and was responsible for the death of millions of people during the Irish Potato Famine in the nineteenth century. Phytophthora infestans is a heterothallic oomycete that typically requires two compatible types (mating types), A1 and A2, to complete sexual reproduction (i.e., oospore production). Oospores have critical effects on disease epidemiology because they serve as the primary inoculum in subsequent growing seasons. The sexual reproduction of Phytophthora species is regulated by α hormones. In previous studies, we proved that transformants in which selected histone deacetylase (HDAC) genes are silenced exhibit abnormal hormone production. In the current study,
