Project description:Gray leaf spot (GLS) disease of maize can be caused by either of two sibling fungal species Cercospora zeina or Cercospora zeae-maydis. These species differ in geographical distribution, for example to date only C. zeina is associated with GLS in Africa. C. zeae-maydis isolates produce the phytotoxin cercosporin in vitro, whereas C. zeina does not. C.zeina was grown in different in vitro conditions to determine if the cercosporin biosynthesis genes were expressed. Furthermore, the choice of a range of different in vitro conditions was aimed at capturing transcript sequences from a broad range of genes to aid in identification of gene models for annotation of the C.zeina genome sequence.

Project description:Gray leaf spot (GLS) disease of maize can be caused by either of two sibling fungal species Cercospora zeina or Cercospora zeae-maydis. These species differ in geographical distribution, for example to date only C. zeina is associated with GLS in African countries, such as South Africa. Maize inbred line B73, which is susceptible to GLS, was planted in the field, and subjected to natural infection with C. zeina. Samples were collected from lower leaves with substantial GLS lesions and younger upper leaves of the same plants with very few immature GLS lesions. The first aim of the experiment was to determine which maize genes are induced in response to C. zeina infection. The second aim was to identify C. zeina genes expressed in planta during a compatible interaction. The third aim was to determine whether the C. zeina cercosporin biosynthetic (CTB) genes are expressed in planta. C. zeina fails to produce cercosporin in vitro in contrast to C. zeae-maydis. Cercosporin is a phytotoxin that is thought to play a role in pathogenicity of several Cercospora spp., however its role in the pathogenicity strategy of C. zeina is currently under investigation.

Project description:Purpose: The aim was to compare the transcriptome (using RNASeq) of a Cercospora zeina-resistant line (RIL387) and a Cercospora zeina susceptible line (RIL165), following inoculation by Cercospora zeina, in order to identify the defense responses associated with each line. Methods: Plants were grown in rows in three randomised blocks. Natural infection with Cercospora zeina was allowed to take place. Infected leves were harvested at the R5-early dent stage. Three leaves (one per plant) were harvested per block and pooled to make up one biological rep. One biological rep was harvested per block for each line. RNA was extracted and sequenced using Illumina. Sequencing reads were mapped to the B73 reference genome and were analysed using the Tuxedo suite of tools (Top hat, Cufflinks, Cuffmerge and Cuffdiff). Results: 5349 genes were differentially expressed between RIL165 and RIL387. In order to dissect responses specific to RIL165 and RIL387, 2394 genes with Log2FC ≤-1 were defined as having higher expression in RIL165 compared to RIL387 and 1393 genes with a Log2FC ≥1 as having increased expression in RIL387 compared to RIL165. Nine genes were validated using RT-qPCR. Four reference genes were included in the RT-qPCR analysis. Differentially expressed genes were further analysed for GO enrichment and pathway representation. Conclusions: Our RNA-Seq results show that a resistant and susceptible line repond differently to infection with Cercospora zeina, as differentially expressed genes were identified between the two lines.

Project description:Gray leaf spot (GLS) disease of maize is caused by the fungus Cercospora zeina in African countries, such as South Africa. The plant material was from maize inbred line B73-QTL, which was introgressed with a QTL region for resistance to GLS from the maize inbred line CML444 (Berger et al (2014) BMC Genetics 15 60 www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2156/15/60 ). This QTL was named 10G2_GLS and 10H_GLS from two field trials in KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa in that study. B73-QTL plants were planted in the field, and subjected to natural infection with C. zeina. This was the same field trial as B73 plants that were sampled for RNAseq and the data reported in Swart et al (2017) Mol Plant Microbe Interact 30 710-724 (2017)(GSE94442). Samples were collected from lower leaves with moderate GLS lesions and younger upper leaves of the same B73-QTL plants with very few immature GLS lesions. The first aim of the experiment was to compare the maize transcriptomes during C.zeina challenge between B73 (from GSE94442 data) and B73-QTL plants (this study). The second aim was to identify novel transcripts expressed from the QTL region, which may underlie the quantitative disease resistance to GLS. The third aim was to identify C. zeina genes expressed in planta during infection.

Project description:Cercospora zeina is a fungal pathogen that causes gray leaf spot (GLS) disease on maize (Zea mays L.) in South Africa. Upon landing on a maize leaf, the pathogen rapidly enters through the stomata and continues to develop asymptomatically for up to 28 days before symptoms are seen. As previous work has yet to adequately determine how the pathogen behaves during its infective period, we used transcriptomics to gain insights about the in-planta development of the pathogen and explore how it uses its effectors to facilitate this process. Samples from B73 maize inbreds infected with C. zeina were harvested in a time course experiment and used for RNA sequencing. We used reads mapped to the C. zeina genome as a proxy for biomass accumulation. At the end of the latent period, C. zeina was found to rapidly accumulate biomass and showed a nearly 50-fold increase in biomass as symptoms appeared. There were two distinct transcriptional waves occurring across the infection period. The first wave showed expression of genes for cellular growth, maintenance and immune avoidance, whereas the second wave was enriched with genes involved in detoxification and carbohydrate catabolism. A total of 140 putative effector genes were differentially expressed over the time-courses, with most up-regulated during the mid stage when the switch to necrotrophy occurs. Transient expression of three of these C. zeina effectors (CzEcp2, CzNis1a, CzNis1b) induced plant immunity in Nicotiana spp. resulting in the development of a hypersensitive response. This suggests that a cohort of C. zeina effectors expressed at this time have functions for which receptors have evolved in non-host species like tobacco. Altogether, this work suggests C. zeina behaves as a latent necrotroph during infection and provides a foundation for future research into the infection biology of C. zeina on maize.

Project description:Cercospora armoraciae causes leaf spot disease on Armoracia rusticana. Exudation of droplets, when grown on PDA, distinguishes this fungi from other members of the genus Cercospora. The role this exudate plays in the virulence of this pathogen has not been elucidated. To explore this, we characterized the proteome of exudate associated with this plant pathogen. Nano-HPLC-MS/MS analysis was used to identify proteins in the pathogen exudate. A total of 576 proteins comprising 1,538 peptides, 1,524 unique peptide, were identified from the exudate.
