Project description:Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of late blight disease of potatoes, is mainly controlled by the use of fungicides. Isolates that are resistant to commonly used fungicides have been reported. Also, several studies show that originally mefenoxam-sensitive isolates acquire resistance to this fungicide when exposed to sub-lethal concentrations. This phenomenon, termed ‘mefenoxam-acquired resistance’, has been observed in different Phytophthora species and seems to be unique to mefenoxam. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanism mediating this type of resistance as well as a possible regulatory process behind it. A combination of computational analyses and experimental approaches was used to identify differentially expressed genes with a potential association to the phenomenon. These genes were classified into seven functional groups. Most of them seem to be associated with a pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) phenotype, typically involved in the expulsion of diverse metabolites, drugs, or other substances out of the cell. Despite the importance of RNApolI for the constitutive resistance of P. infestans to mefenoxam, our results indicate no clear interaction between this protein and the acquisition of mefenoxam resistance. Several small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) were found to be differentially expressed and specifically related to genes mediating the PDR phenotype, thus suggesting a possible regulatory process. We propose a model of the molecular mechanisms acting within the cell when P. infestans acquires resistance to mefenoxam after exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of the fungicide. This study provides important insights into P. infestans’ cellular and regulatory functionalities.

Project description:Phytophthora infestans is a filamentous plant pathogen. It belongs to the class Oomycota within the Stramenopiles. Despite the importance of sexual reproduction in P. infestans, many aspects of the mating process remain unknown. In this study we are investigating its mating mechanisms using different molecular techniques. Isolates with A1 and A2 mating types from Sweden, the Netherlands and the UK, were used for this purpose because mating frequencies are known to differ among European countries. RNA was prepared from the “mating-zone” between the 4 Swedish, 1 Dutch and 1 British pairs. RNA-seq analysis was performed on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform and data normalized to parental isolates growing individually.

Project description:Phytophthora spp. encode large sets of effector proteins and distinct populations of small RNAs (sRNAs). Reports suggest that pathogen-derived sRNAs can modulate the expression of plant defense genes. The experiments reported here were designed to shed light on impact of sRNAs in the potato-P. infestans interaction. We used the Argonaute or Ago1 from P. infestans tagged with GFP transformed into the 88069 strain to infect potato cv. Bintje plants. Collected leaf materials were used in co-immunoprecipitation experiments together with P. infestans harboring GFP (control GFP) and P. infestans mycelia grown on media (control mycelia). These three materials were sequenced at a Ion Proton platform. The reads length of 8-38 nt were adaptor-trimmed and mapped to the P. infestans genome and the Solanom tuberosum genome v4.04. Both P. infestans-associated and potato derived sRNAs were identified.

Project description:Deep sequencing of small RNAs from three Phytophthora species, P. infestans, P. ramorum and P. sojae, was done to systematically analyze small RNA-generating components of Phytophthora genomes. We found that each species produces two distinct small RNA populations that are predominantly 21- or 25-nucleotides long. We present evidence that 25-nucleotide small RNAs are short-interfering RNAs that silence repetitive genetic elements. In contrast, 21-nucleotide small RNAs are associated with inverted repeats, including a novel microRNA family, and may function at the post-transcriptional level. Phytophthora infestans mycelium small RNAs were sequenced and aligned to the P. infestans genome for analysis.

Project description:Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of potato late blight, is a devastating plant disease that leads to Irish potato famine and threatens world-wide food security. Despite the genome of P. infestans has provided fundamental resource for studying the aggressiveness of this pandemic pathogen, the epigenomes remain poorly understood. Here, utilizing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), we demonstrate post-translational modifications (PTM) at P. infestans core histone H3. The PTMs not only include these prevalent modifications in eukaryotes, and also some novel marks, such as H3K53me2 and H3K122me3. We focused on the trimethylations of H3K4, H3K9 and H3K27 and H3K36, and profiled P. infestans epigenomes employing Native Chromatin Immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (N-ChIP-seq). In parallel, we mapped P. infestans chromomatin accessibility by Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq). We found that adaptive genomic compartments display significantly higher levels of H3K9me3 and H3K27me3, and are generally in condense chromatin. Interestingly, we observed that genes encoding virulence factors, such as effectors, are enriched in open chromatin regions that barely have the four histone modifications. With a combination of genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic strategies, our study illustrates the epigenetic states in P. infestans, which will help to study genomic functions and regulations in this pathogen.
