Chromosome numbers and karyotype evolution in holoparasitic Orobanche (Orobanchaceae) and related genera

Chromosome numbers and karyotypes of species of Orobanche, Cistanche, and Diphelypaea (Orobanchaceae) were investigated, and 108 chromosome counts of 53 taxa, 19 counted for the first time, are presented with a thorough compilation of previously published data. Additionally, karyotypes of representatives of these genera, including Orobanche sects. Orobanche and Trionychon, are reported. Cistanche (x = 20) has large meta- to submetacentric chromosomes, while those of Diphelypaea (x = 19) are medium-sized submeta- to acrocentrics. Within three analyzed sections of Orobanche, sects. Myzorrhiza (x = 24) and Trionychon (x = 12) possess medium-sized submeta- to acrocentrics, while sect. Orobanche (x = 19) has small, mostly meta- to submetacentric, chromosomes. Polyploidy is unevenly distributed in Orobanche and restricted to a few lineages, e.g., O. sect. Myzorrhiza or Orobanche gracilis and its relatives (sect. Orobanche). The distribution of basic chromosome numbers supports the groups found by molecular phylogenetic analyses: Cistanche has x = 20, the Orobanche-group (Orobanche sect. Orobanche, Diphelypaea) has x = 19, and the Phelipanche-group (Orobanche sects. Gymnocaulis, Myzorrhiza, Trionychon) has x = 12, 24. A model of chromosome number evolution in Orobanche and related genera is presented: from two ancestral base numbers, x(h) = 5 and x(h) = 6, independent polyploidizations led to x = 20 (Cistanche) and (after dysploidization) x = 19 (Orobanche-group) and to x = 12 and x = 24 (Phelipanche-group), respectively.

This tropone is synthesized by the parasite and exists, with other related compounds, in various species of broom-rapes.     

Isolation of mannose 6-phosphate reductase cDNA,changes in enzyme activity and mannitol content in broomrape (Orobanche ramosa) parasitic on tomato roots

We are interested in developing a control strategy efficient at the early stages of subterranean development of Orobanche in the inhibition of mannose 6-phosphate reductase (M6PR, EC 1.1.1.224), the key enzyme of mannitol production in the parasite. We examined M6PR gene expression during pre-conditioning, germination, procaulome growth, underground shoot development and emergence of Orobanche ramosa L. attached to tomato roots, the enzyme activity at each of the above stages and the level of stored mannitol in the parasite. A 1120-pb length cDNA isolated by 3' and 5'RACE was identified as a M6PR sequence by cDNA expression in E. coli and M6PR activity measurement. Only one M6PR gene was detected in O. ramosa following southern blot analysis. M6PR expression, analysed by RT-PCR, was constant from the pre-conditioned seed to the emergence of broomrape, i.e. M6PR expression is constitutive in Orobanche . M6PR activity was also detected in pre-conditioned seeds and attachment to tomato roots resulted in a two-fold increase in enzyme activity during tubercle enlargement and crown root formation. Hexose and mannitol accumulation was strongly enhanced in the attached parasite, with accumulation primarily in the shoot. These results support the prospect of utilizing M6PR inhibitors as early applied herbicides to control this parasite in the early stages of its development.     

Cell wall degrading enzymes in Orobanche aegyptiaca and its host Brassica campestris

Activities of the cell-wall degrading enzymes cellulase (EC 3. 2. 1. 4). poly-galacturonase (EC 3. 2. 1. 15) and xylanase (EC 3. 2. 1. 8), and also that of protease (EC 3. 4. 21. 14) have been determined in the parasite Orobanche aegyiptiaca Pers. and in the roots of infected and control host plants of Brassica campestris L. var. rapa Hartm. Shoots, roots and root-freed tubers of Orobanche showed pronounced activities of these enzymes. When expressed in terms of specific activity, protease, cellulase and polygalacturonase activities were higher and xylanase lower in all parts of Orobanche than in the roots of infected or control host plants. Orobanche roots had higher activities of cellulase, polygalacturonase and protease than tuber or shoot. While xylanase activity was higher in the shoot than in roots or tuber. Infection by Orobanche significantly enhanced the cellulase activity of host roots. Cellulase and polygalacturonase in the Orobanche roots appear as the main enzymes involved in establishing haustorial connection with the host root. Protease might be involved in degrading proteins and lipoproteins of the cell walls and membranes of the host tissues.     

Taxonomy of the Chinese Orobanche and Its Relationships with Related Genera

The morphological characters in the genus Orobanche were evaluated from the taxonomic point of view. The author finds that the plants of this genus are relatively similar to each other in respect to characters of vegetative organs, fruits and seeds. But the differences in the floral structures can be served as a basis for delimitating infrageneric taxa. The seed coat of 18 species and pollen grains of 6 species were also examined under scanning electron microscope (SEM). They seem to have little significance for distinguishing species. The result supports G. Beck’s (1930) division of the genus Orobanche into 4 sections, of which 2 occur in China, based on the characters of the inflorescence, bracteoles and calyx. The author considers that some characters, such as anther hairy or not, upper lip of corolla entire or not, lower lip longer or shorter than the upper one, the state of corolla-tube inflec tion and the hair type of filaments and plants, are important in distinguishing Chinese species. A key to the species of Orobanche in China is given. This genus consists of about 100 species, and is mostly confined to Eurasia, with over 60 species found in Caucasus and Middle Asia of USSR, where may be the mordern distribu tional centre. Orobanche L. in China is represented by 23 species, 3 varieties and l forma. As shown in Table 1, most species (12 species) are found in Xinjiang, which clearly shows a close floristic relationship between this region and Middle Asia of USSR. 6 species are endemic to China, of which 4 are confined to the Hengduan Mountains (Yangtze-Mekong-Salwin divide). The relationships between this genus and related ones of Orobanchaceae are also discussed. The author holds the following opinions: the genus Phelypaea Desf. should be considered as a member of Orobanche L. Sect. Gymnocaulis G. Beck, the monotypic genus, Necranthus A. Gilli endemic to Turkey, is allied with Orobanche L. Sect. Orobanche, the monotypic genus, Platypholis Maxim, endemic to Bonin Is. of Japan, is far from Orobanche L. in relation and should be regarded as a separate genus. The 11 OTU’s, including all the sections of Orobanche L. and 7 genera of Orobanchaceae, and 15 morphological characters were used in the numerical taxonomic treatment to test the above-mentioned suggestions. After standardization of characters, the correlation matrices were computerized. The correlation matrices were made to test the various clustering methods. At last the UPGMA clustering method was chosen and its result is shown in a phenogram. The result of numerical analysis is basically in accordance with the suggestions.     

In vitro infection of host roots by differentiated calli of the parasitic plant Orobanche

Root parasites of the genus Orobanche are serious weeds in agriculture. An aseptic infection system of host roots using calli of three Orobanche species was developed for the study of host-parasite interaction. The response of calli to various hormonal combinations was studied, because a requirement for infection is the differentiation of root-like protrusions, which are capable of producing haustorial connections to the host. Infectious root-like protrusions develop under the influence of 0.5-1.0 mg l(-1) IAA, and under the combination of 0.2 mg l(-1) NAA with 5.0 mg l(-1) kinetin. These protocols produced root protrusions with pad-like structures that resembled attachment organs of Orobanche seedlings, and proved effective in parasitizing host roots. Direct contact with the medium inhibited haustorium development and prevented infection. To overcome this problem, certain root portions were isolated from the medium by inserting thin glass plates underneath. Calli were then placed on the raised root portions and successfully infected the roots and developed young Orobanche tubercles with vascular system that directly connected to the host.

Gene silencing of mannose 6-phosphate reductase in the parasitic weed Orobanche aegyptiaca through the production of homologous dsRNA sequences in the host plant

Orobanche spp. (broomrape) are parasitic plants which subsist on the roots of a wide range of hosts, including tomato, causing severe losses in yield quality and quantity. Large amounts of mannitol accumulate in this parasitic weed during development. Mannose 6-phosphate reductase (M6PR) is a key enzyme in mannitol biosynthesis, and it has been suggested that mannitol accumulation may be very important for Orobanche development. Therefore, the Orobanche M6PR gene is a potential target for efforts to control this parasite. Transgenic tomato plants were produced bearing a gene construct containing a specific 277-bp fragment from Orobanche aegyptiaca M6PR-mRNA, in an inverted-repeat configuration. M6PR-siRNA was detected in three independent transgenic tomato lines in the R1 generation, but was not detected in the parasite. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that the amount of endogenous M6PR mRNA in the tubercles and underground shoots of O. aegyptiaca grown on transgenic host plants was reduced by 60%–80%. Concomitant with M6PR mRNA suppression, there was a significant decrease in mannitol level and a significant increase in the percentage of dead O. aegyptiaca tubercles on the transgenic host plants. The detection of mir390, which is involved with cytoplasmic dsRNA processing, is the first indication of the existence of gene-silencing mechanisms in Orobanche spp. Gene silencing mechanisms are probably involved with the production of decreased levels of M6PR mRNA in the parasites grown on the transformed tomato lines.     

The strigolactone germination stimulants of the plant-parasitic Striga and Orobanche spp. are derived from the carotenoid pathway

The seeds of parasitic plants of the genera Striga and Orobanche will only germinate after induction by a chemical signal exuded from the roots of their host. Up to now, several of these germination stimulants have been isolated and identified in the root exudates of a series of host plants of both Orobanche and Striga spp. In most cases, the compounds were shown to be isoprenoid and belong to one chemical class, collectively called the strigolactones, and suggested by many authors to be sesquiterpene lactones. However, this classification was never proven; hence, the biosynthetic pathways of the germination stimulants are unknown. We have used carotenoid mutants of maize (Zea mays) and inhibitors of isoprenoid pathways on maize, cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and assessed the effects on the root exudate-induced germination of Striga hermonthica and Orobanche crenata. Here, we show that for these three host and two parasitic plant species, the strigolactone germination stimulants are derived from the carotenoid pathway. Furthermore, we hypothesize how the germination stimulants are formed. We also discuss this finding as an explanation for some phenomena that have been observed for the host-parasitic plant interaction, such as the effect of mycorrhiza on S. hermonthica infestation.
