ABSTRACT: Gene expression during priming-induced resistance to fusarium head blight in wheat as revealed by two distinct mutants of Fusarium graminearum
Project description:Fusarium graminearum (F.g) is responsible for Fusarium head blight (FHB), which is a destructive disease of wheat that accumulates mycotoxin such as deoxynivalenol (DON) and makes its quality unsuitable for end use. Several FHB resistant varieties development is going on world-wide. However the complete understanding of wheat defence response, pathogen (Fusarium graminearum) disease development mechanism and the gene crosstalk between organisms is still unclear. In our study focused to analyse pathogen (F. graminearum) molecular action in different Fusarium head blight resistance cultivars during the disease development. To understand the Fusarium graminearum pathogen molecular reaction, microarray gene expression analysis was carried out by using Fusarium graminearum (8 x 15k) Agilent arrays at two time points (3 & 7 days after infection) on three wheat genotypes (Japanese landrace cv. Nobeokabouzu-komugi - highly resistant, Chinese cv. Sumai 3 - resistant and Australian cv. Gamenya - susceptible), which spikes infected by Fusarium graminearum ‘H-3’strain. During the disease development the pathogen biomass as well as the expression of Trichothecene biosynthesis involved genes (Tri genes) in three wheat cultivars was determined. In our material no relation between fungus biomass and the disease symptoms were observed, however, it showed relation with fungus virulence factors expression (Tri genes). For the first time, we report the nature of Fusarium graminearum gene expression in the FHB-highly resistant cv. Nobeokabouzu-komugi during the disease development stage and the possible underlying molecular response.
Project description:Identify genes underlying the Fusarium crown rot resistance locus and find out if expressed genes associated with resistance to Fusarium crown rot were related to those observed by others for Fusarium head blight.
Project description:Purpose: To explore the mechanism of Frenolicin B could control the Fusarium Head Blight on Wheat. Methods: Fusarium graminearum were inoculated into PDB broth and cultivated 36 hours. After that, Frenolicin B was added in the broth of Fusarium graminearum, and the same volumes of methanol were served as the control. Then incubated together 6 hours.
Project description:Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major disease of cereal crops caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum (Fg). FHB affects the flowering heads (or spikes). This study compare the gene expression profile in wheat spikelets from the very susceptible spring wheat cultivar Roblin inoculated with water (H2O) or Fg.

This study compare the gene expression profile in wheat spikelets from the resistant spring wheat cultivar Wuhan1 inoculated with water (H2O) or Fg.

This study compare the gene expression profile in wheat spikelets from the resistant spring wheat cultivar NuyBay inoculated with water (H2O) or Fg.
Project description:Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major disease of cereal crops caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum (Fg). FHB affects the flowering heads (or spikes). This study compare the gene expression profile in wheat spikelets from the resistant winter wheat cultivar Dream inoculated with water (H2O) or Fg.
Project description:Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a disease of wheat and other cereal crops, where Fusarium graminearum and related species infects the wheat inflorescence during and post-anthesis. The fungus produces trichothecene toxins that accumulate in the grain of infected head, and are required for disease spread. Microarrays were used to observe differential gene expression in the uninoculated spikelets of FHB-challenged wheat spikes in three wheat genotypes. A summary of our findings will be published in Plant Pathology.
