The Antifungal Effect of Pyroligneous Acid on the Phytopathogenic Fungus Botrytis cinerea.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, climate change has intensified harsh periods of rain alternating with periods of drought, leading to an increase in the presence of phytopathogenic fungi. In this study, we want to analyse the antifungal properties of pyroligneous acid against the fungal phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea. Through the inhibition test, we observed that the application of different dilutions of pyroligneous acid rarefied the growth of the fungal mycelium. Furthermore, we have seen through the metabolic profile that B. cinerea is not able to use pyroligneous acid as a resource or even grow in close contact with this resource. Moreover, we observed that the pre-incubation of the fungus in pyroligneous acid leads to a reduction in biomass production. These results give us hope for the possible use of this natural substance as a possible substance to protect plantations from pathogen attacks.

Biocatalytic Preparation of Chloroindanol Derivatives. Antifungal Activity and Detoxification by the Phytopathogenic Fungus Botrytis cinerea.

Project description:Indanols are a family of chemical compounds that have been widely studied due to their broad range of biological activity. They are also important intermediates used as synthetic precursors to other products with important applications in pharmacology. Enantiomerically pure chloroindanol derivatives exhibiting antifungal activity against the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea were prepared using biocatalytic methods. As a result of the biotransformation of racemic 6-chloroindanol (1) and 5-chloroindanol (2) by the fungus B. cinerea, the compounds anti-(+)-6-chloroindan-1,2-diol (anti-(+)-7), anti-(+)-5-chloroindan-1,3-diol (anti-(+)-8), syn-(+)-5-chloroindan-1,3-diol (syn-(+)-8), syn-(-)-5-chloroindan-1,3-diol (syn-(-)-8), and anti-(+)-5-chloroindan-1,2-diol (anti-(+)-9) were isolated for the first time. These products were characterized by spectroscopic techniques and their enantiomeric excesses studied by chromatographic techniques. The results obtained in the biotransformation seem to suggest that the fungus B. cinerea uses oxidation reactions as a detoxification mechanism.

Boty, a long-terminal-repeat retroelement in the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea.

Project description:The phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea can infect an extremely wide range of host plants (tomato, grapevine, strawberry, and flax) without apparent specialization. While studying genetic diversity in this fungus, we found an element which is present in multiple copies and dispersed throughout the genome of some of its isolates. DNA sequence analysis revealed that the element contained direct, long-terminal repeats (LTRs) of 596 bp whose features were characteristic of retroviral and retrotransposon LTRs. Within the element, we identified an open reading frame with sequences homologous to the reverse transcriptase and RNase H domains of retroelement pol genes. We concluded that the element we had identified was a retroelement and named it Boty. By comparing its open reading frame with sequences from other retroelements, we found that Boty is related to the gypsy family of retrotransposons. Boty was present in numerous strains isolated from grapes and tomatoes but not in isolates from lentils. We propose that Boty-containing and Boty-deficient groups represent two lineages in the population of B. cinerea.

Genetic analysis of fenhexamid-resistant field isolates of the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea.

Project description:The hydroxyanilide fenhexamid, one of the latest antibotrytis fungicides, active especially against leotiomycete plant-pathogenic fungi, inhibits 3-ketoreductase of the C-4-demethylation enzyme complex during ergosterol biosynthesis. We isolated Botrytis cinerea strains resistant to various levels of fenhexamid from French and German vineyards. The sequence of the gene encoding 3-ketoreductase, erg27, varied according to levels of resistance. Highly resistant isolates, termed HydR3(+), all presented a modification of the phenylalanine at the C terminus of the putative transmembrane domain at position 412, either to serine (85% of the isolates), to isoleucine (11.5% of the isolates), or to valine (3.5% of the isolates). The introduction of the erg27(HydR3(+)) allele into a fenhexamid-sensitive strain by means of a replicative plasmid conferred fenhexamid resistance on the resulting transformants, showing that the mutations at position 412 are responsible for fenhexamid resistance. Weakly to moderately resistant isolates, termed HydR3(-), showed different point mutations between the strains in the sequenced regions of the erg27 gene, corresponding to amino acid changes between positions 195 and 400 of the protein. The erg27(HydR3(-)) alleles on the replicative vector introduced into a sensitive strain did not confer resistance to fenhexamid. Genetic crosses between HydR3(-) and sensitive strains showed strict correlation between the sequenced mutation in the erg27 gene and the resistance phenotypes, suggesting that these mutations are linked to fenhexamid resistance. The HydR3 mutations possibly modify the affinity of the 3-ketoreductase enzyme for its specific inhibitor, fenhexamid.

Impact of an antifungal insect defensin on the proteome of the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea

Project description:ETD151, an analogue of the antifungal insect defensin heliomicin, is an antifungal peptide active against yeasts and filamentous fungi. In order to decipher the mechanisms underlying its molecular action on the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea, a necrotrophic pathogen responsible for gray mold disease, we investigated the changes in three-day old mycelia upon treatment with different concentrations of ETD151. Optical and fluorescent microscopies were used prior to establishing the peptide/protein profiles through two mass spectrometry approaches: MALDI profiling, to generate molecular mass fingerprints as peptide signatures, and a gel-free bottom-up proteomics approach. Our results show that a concentration of ETD151 above the half-maximal inhibitory concentration can alter the integrity of the mycelial structure of B. cinerea. Furthermore, reproducible modifications of the peptide/protein composition were demonstrated in the presence of ETD151 within a 1.5-16 kDa mass range. After the robustness of LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis on B. cinerea mycelial extracts was confirmed, our analyses highlighted 340 significantly modulated proteins upon treatment with ETD151 within a 4.8- 466 kDa mass range. Finally, data mapping on KEGG pathways revealed the molecular impact of ETD151 on at least six pathways. In particular, for the effect on oxidative phosphorylation, we clearly demonstrated that ETD151 does not interact directly with the mitochondrial respiratory chain.

Proteome-Wide Analysis of Lysine 2-Hydroxyisobutyrylation in the Phytopathogenic Fungus Botrytis cinerea.

Project description:Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of the whole proteome have become a hot topic in the research field of epigenetics, and an increasing number of PTM types have been identified and shown to play significant roles in different cellular processes. Protein lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (K hib ) is a newly detected PTM, and the 2-hydroxyisobutyrylome has been identified in several species. Botrytis cinerea is recognized as one of the most destructive pathogens due to its broad host distribution and very large economic losses; thus the many aspects of its pathogenesis have been continuously studied. However, distribution and function of K hib in this phytopathogenic fungus are not clear. In this study, a proteome-wide analysis of K hib in B. cinerea was performed, and 5,398 K hib sites on 1,181 proteins were identified. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the 2-hydroxyisobutyrylome in B. cinerea contains both conserved proteins and novel proteins when compared with K hib proteins in other species. Functional classification, functional enrichment and protein interaction network analyses showed that K hib proteins are widely distributed in cellular compartments and involved in diverse cellular processes. Significantly, 37 proteins involved in different aspects of regulating the pathogenicity of B. cinerea were detected as K hib proteins. Our results provide a comprehensive view of the 2-hydroxyisobutyrylome and lay a foundation for further studying the regulatory mechanism of K hib in both B. cinerea and other plant pathogens.

Evidencing New Roles for the Glycosyl-Transferase Cps1 in the Phytopathogenic Fungus Botrytis cinerea.

Project description:The fungal cell wall occupies a central place in the interaction between fungi and their environment. This study focuses on the role of the putative polysaccharide synthase Cps1 in the physiology, development and virulence of the grey mold-causing agent Botrytis cinerea. Deletion of the Bccps1 gene does not affect the germination of the conidia (asexual spores) or the early mycelial development, but it perturbs hyphal expansion after 24 h, revealing a two-phase hyphal development that has not been reported so far. It causes a severe reduction of mycelial growth in a solid medium and modifies hyphal aggregation into pellets in liquid cultures. It strongly impairs plant penetration, plant colonization and the formation of sclerotia (survival structures). Loss of the BcCps1 protein associates with a decrease in glucans and glycoproteins in the fungus cell wall and the up-accumulation of 132 proteins in the mutant's exoproteome, among which are fungal cell wall enzymes. This is accompanied by an increased fragility of the mutant mycelium, an increased sensitivity to some environmental stresses and a reduced adhesion to plant surface. Taken together, the results support a significant role of Cps1 in the cell wall biology of B. cinerea.
