Project description:Cell lysates of Fusarium sp. DS 682, a saprotrophic fungus, were prepared from fungal biomass grown on PDA agar without M9 and micronutrients. Fungus was exposed to minerals, 100 uL of 50% (w/v) natural kaolinite solution. Three fungal plate collections for each growth condition, with (+ mineral) and without mineral (- mineral), were grown for 14 days on PDA (incubated at 28 C) and harvested after 15 days. Extracted hyphae (500 mg) was prepared using the MPLEx protocol. A nanoACQUITY ultra performance liquid chromatography (LC) with a 2DLC system was used for separation of protein digests. Eluted peptides from the C18 column were analyzed using a Q-Exactive Plus Orbitrap MS for high resolution MS and high-energy collision-induced dissociation tandem MS by electrospray ionization for subsequent quantitative proteomic analysis. Data was searched with MaxQuant. Additional post-processed results and metadata can be accessed at https://doi.org/10.25584/KSOmicsFspDS682/1766303
Project description:Tandem Mass Tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomic analysis of tomato soil borne pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici growth, and metabolism when treated with plant natural volatile organic compounds linalool. The Forl strain was cultured on PDA supplied with 0.8 mL/L linalool for 6 days at 25°C. The fungal strain on PDA supplied with only 0.1% Tween80 was cultured as the control. Three biological replicates were established for each treatment.
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. We grew both WT and 35sSIX4 plants for four weeks in soil. After four weeks the plants were infected with Fusarium oxyporum isolate Fo5176, trays covered with a plastic dome and incubated at 28C. There were four independent replicates of each treatment and each replicate contained root tissue from 20 plants. Each replicate (8 in total) was harvested 4 days post inoculation and the resulting RNA was used for hybridization to an Affymetrix ATH1 chip.
Project description:Eggplant is susceptible to fungal wilts caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae and Verticillium dahliae. Wild relatives represent a good source of resistance and ILs have been obtained through introgression of the Rfo-sa1 locus conferring resistance to Fusarium oxysporum from the allied species S. aethiopicum into cultivated eggplant. In this work, a deep phenotypical characterization was performed according to the progression of symptoms along the stem and the disease severity in leaves. This analysis showed that the Fom -resistant ILs carrying introgression of the Rfo-sa1 locus displayed significantly improved tolerance to Verticillium attack after a preliminary inoculation with F. oxysporum. This positive effect was particularly evident when Verticillium inoculation was done simultaneously or after the Fusarium one. Transcript profiling carried out using a combination of SSH, microarray and qRT-PCR analyses from inoculated roots with a selected combinations of fungal pathogens enabled the identification of 164? differentially expressed genes at least in one condition. Overall, our results highlighted a number of candidate genes putatively involved in early defence responses or signalling pathways activated upon infection of eggplant either with Fom and Vd and thus leading to a broad Rfo-sa1 mediated tolerance against both these wilt pathogens.
