Project description:Fusarium oxysporum is one of the most common species causing soybean root rot and seedling blight in the U.S. In a recent study, significant variation in aggressiveness was observed among isolates of F. oxysporum collected from roots in Iowa, ranging from highly pathogenic to weakly or non-pathogenic isolates. In the present work, a RNA-seq-based analysis was used for the first time to investigate the molecular aspect of the interaction of a partially resistant soybean genotype with non-pathogenic/pathogenic isolates of F. oxysporum at 72 and 96 hours post inoculation (hpi). Markedly different gene expression profiles were observed in compatible and incompatible host-pathogen combinations. A peak of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was observed at 72 hpi in soybean roots in response to both isolates, although the number of DEGs was about eight times higher for the pathogenic isolate compared to the non-pathogenic one (1,659 vs. 203 DEGs, respectively). Furthermore, not only the number of genes, but also the magnitude of induction was much greater in response to the pathogenic isolate. This response included a stronger activation of many well-known defense-related genes, and several genes involved in ethylene biosynthesis and signalling, transcription factors, secondary and sugar metabolism. In addition, 1130 fungal genes were differentially expressed between the F. oxysporum isolates in planta during the infection process. Interestingly, 10% of these genes encode plant cell-wall degrading enzymes, reactive oxygen species-related enzymes and fungal proteins involved in primary metabolic pathways. Such information may be useful in the development of new methods of broadening resistance of soybean to F. oxysporum, including the silencing of important fungal genes, and also to understand the molecular basis of soybean-F. oxysporum interactions. Soybean seedlings mRNA profiles inoculated with a non-pathogenic and pathogenic isolates of F. oxysporum and collected at 72 and 96 hpi, were generated using Illumina HiSeq 2500. Control seedlings were also included for each time of inoculation. Three biological replicates were considered for each condition, 18 samples in total.

Project description:Fungal effectors play important roles in inciting disease development on host plants. We identified an effector (Secreted in Xylem4, SIX4) in an Arabidopsis infecting isolate (Fo5176) of the root-infecting fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum and demonstrated this effector is required for full virulence. To explore the role of Fo5176_SIX4 we use whole transcriptome profiling of root tissues from plants overexpressing this effector (35sSIX4) versus wild-type (Col-0) plants after F. oxysporum infection.

Project description:Fusarium oxysporum causes Fusarium wilt syndrome in more than 120 different plant hosts, including globally important crops such as tomato, cotton, banana, melon, etc. F. oxysporum shows high host specificity in over 150 formae speciales and have been ranked in the top 10 plant fungal pathogens. Although three PMTs encoded by the pmt1, pmt2, and pmt4 are annotated in the genome of F. oxysporum, their functions have not been reported. As O-mannosylation is not found in plants, a comprehensive understanding of PMTs in F. oxysporum becomes attractive for the development of new strategy against Fusarium wilt. In order to understand the molecular mechanism of the differential functions of three PMTs, a comparative O-glycoproteome analysis of the pmt mutants were carried out.

Project description:Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is one of the most important vegetable crops in the world and accounts for 20% of the world’s total area devoted to vegetable production. Fusarium wilt of watermelon is one of the most destructive diseases in watermelon worldwide. Transcriptome profiling of watermelon during its incompatible interactions with Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. niveum (FON) was generated using an Agilent custom microarray which contains 15,000 probes representing approximately 8,200 watermelon genes. A total of 24, 275, 596, 598, and 592 genes that are differentially expressed genes between FON- and mock-inoculated watermelon roots at 0.5, 1, 3, 5 and 8 days post inoculation (dpi), respectively, were identified. Bioinformatics analysis of these differentially expressed genes revealed that during the incompatible interaction between watermelon and FON, the expression of a number of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes, transcription factors, signaling/regulatory genes, and cell wall modification genes, was significantly induced. A number of genes for transporter proteins such as aquaporins were down-regulated, indicating that transporter proteins might contribute to the development of wilt symptoms after FON infection. In the incompatible interaction, most genes involved in biosynthesis of jasmonic acid (JA) showed expressed stronger and more sustained than those in compatible interaction in FON-infected tissues. Similarly, genes associated with shikimate-phenylpropanoid-lignin biosynthesis were also induced in incompatible interaction, but expression of these genes were not changed or repressed in the compatible interaction. Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. niveum induced gene expression in watermelon root was measured at 0.5,1d, 3d, 5d and 8d after inoculation. Sample inoculated with water were used as the mock controls. Three independent experiments were performed.

Project description:Soilborne fungal pathogens cause devastating yield losses, are highly persistent and difficult to control. To culminate infection, these organisms must cope with limited availability of iron. Here we show that the bZIP protein HapX functions as a key regulator of iron homeostasis and virulence in the vascular wilt fungus Fusarium oxysporum. Deletion of hapX does not affect iron uptake, but causes derepression of genes involved in iron-consuming pathways, leading to impaired growth under iron-depleted conditions. F. oxysporum strains lacking HapX are reduced in their capacity to invade and kill tomato plants and immunodepressed mice. The virulence defect of M-NM-^ThapX on tomato plants is exacerbated by coinoculation of roots with a biocontrol strain of Pseudomonas putida, but not with a siderophore-deficient mutant, indicating that HapX contributes to iron competition of F. oxysporum in the tomato rhizosphere. These results establish a conserved role for HapX-mediated iron homeostasis in fungal infection of plants and mammals. Iron dependent gene expression in Fusarium oxysporum wt and M-NM-^ThapX mutant was measured 1 hour after shifting the mycelia to minimal medium with or without 50 M-NM-<M Fe2(SO4)3. Three independent experiments were performed.

Project description:MYB36 has been identified as a new transcription factor (TF) that may be involved in isoflavonoid metabolism and stress responses in the model legume Lotus japonicus. A series of transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches have been carried out to attempt to identify the specific genes that can be under the control of MYB36 TF in this plant. For this purpose, transcriptomic data were obtained for wild type (WT) and two different lines of homozygous myb36 mutant plants, under two different stress conditions shown to be related with isoflavonoid metabolism: UV-B irradiation and salt stress. Results obtained showed a completely different and almost reciprocal picture of the global transcriptomic of the WT plants under both types of stress situations. Further comparison of up- and down- regulated genes revealed a very similar response of WT and mutant plants under UV-irradiation. In contrast, a completely different response was detected in salt stress between WT and mutant plants. None of the genes modulated by salt stress in myb36 mutants were also modulated by UV-B irradiation. Furthermore, most of the genes modulated by salt stress in the mutants corresponded to genes specifically involved in isoflavonoid but not flavonoid biosynthesis, thus illustrating on the genes that can be under the specific control of MYB36. These results identify for the first time MYB36 as specifical TF in the regulation of (iso)flavonoid biosynthesis, a class of compound specifically produced by legume plants. In addition, the results obtained revealed MYB36 as a crucial TF in the response to salt stress in legume plants.
