稻瘟病菌稻巨座壳存活因子基因MoSVF1的功能分析

稻巨座壳引起的稻瘟病是一种重要的农作物真菌病害,该病害的发生和流行限制了水稻的产量,威胁全球粮食安全。细胞凋亡和自噬在稻巨座壳的致病性中起重要作用,抗细胞凋亡的存活因子Svf1在禾谷镰刀菌和核盘菌中被报道与致病力相关,但是其在稻巨座壳中的详细功能却并未见报道。本研究对MoSvf1进行序列分析,发现Svf1在真菌中高度保守。对其进行基因敲除并观察表型,发现Mosvf1突变体菌落生长减慢,菌丝形态异常,但其产孢量相比野生型有显著性增多。说明MoSvf1正调控稻巨座壳的营养生长,负调控孢子的形成。Mosvf1突变体的附着胞形成和致病力无可见缺陷。为进一步完善MoSvf1的互作调控网络,我们通过IP-MS的方法鉴定MoSvf1的互作蛋白,发现其中包含多个与胞内信号传导及细胞凋亡有关的蛋白。对MoSvf1互作蛋白的分析有助于进一步揭示MoSvf1的调控模式和作用途径,为阐明稻巨座壳的生长和凋亡打下重要基础。

Biochemical defence responses of resistant and susceptible rice genotypes against blast pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae

Abstract

Rice blast is the leading fungal disease which is caused by Magnaporthe oryzae that contributes for the significant decline in the rice yield throughout the globe. There is a need for the understanding of biochemical changes in rice plant during blast infection for the development of novel disease control strategies. In the present study, we isolated M. oryzae from the local paddy fields and the fungal isolates (VCF and PON) were identified by ITS-PCR using genomic DNA samples. Further, we inoculated resistant (BR2655 and TUNGA) and susceptible (INTAN and HR12) rice cultivars with PON and VCF isolates. PON isolate showed relatively high virulence compared to VCF and standard MTCC fungal strains. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of PON on the total protein content and plant defence-related key enzymes (peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase, β-glucosidase, chitinase and lipoxygenase) activities between 24- and 120-hour post-inoculation (hpi). The results demonstrated the decrease in total protein content in all the inoculated cultivars. In addition, we observed the variation in the activity of peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, β-glucosidase, chitinase and lipoxygenase at different time points in all the tested rice plants compared to respective controls. However, no significant difference was observed in the phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity relative to its control. Taken together, this study emphasizes on the variation in the activities of plant defence enzymes in different plant cultivars against the tested fungal pathogen and also implementation of defence enzymes as biochemical markers for resistant breeding.     

Twinfilin regulates actin assembly and Hexagonal peroxisome 1 (Hex1) localization in the pathogenesis of rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae

Actin assembly at the hyphal tip is key for polar growth and pathogenesis of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. The mechanism of its precise assemblies and biological functions is not understood. Here, we characterized the role of M. oryzae Twinfilin (MoTwf) in M. oryzae infection through organizing the actin cables that connect to Spitzenkörper (Spk) at the hyphal tip. MoTwf could bind and bundle the actin filaments. It formed a complex with Myosin2 (MoMyo2) and the Woronin body protein Hexagonal peroxisome 1 (MoHex1). Enrichment of MoMyo2 and MoHex1 in the hyphal apical region was disrupted in a ΔMotwf loss-of-function mutant, which also showed a decrease in the number and width of actin cables. These findings indicate that MoTwf participates in the virulence of M. oryzae by organizing Spk-connected actin filaments and regulating MoHex1 distribution at the hyphal tip.     

Microbial secondary metabolite induction of abnormal appressoria formation mediates control of rice blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae

Okinawa, the only subtropical area in Japan with numerous island ecosystems, is expected to have diverse microbial resources. Recently, we reported the construction of a culture filtrate library with microbes originally isolated from soils in Okinawa, including the Yaeyama Archipelago, and validated its phylogenetic diversity. In the present study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of the cell extract (CE) from microbial isolate 3–45 against Magnaporthe oryzae in rice (Oryza sativa). Abnormal appressorium formation by M. oryzae was induced in the presence of the CE from isolate 3–45. Additionally, melanization of appressoria was inhibited in the presence of CE from isolate 3–45. Sequence analysis of the 16S rDNA region of isolate 3–45 indicated that it shared similarities with Streptomyces erythrochromogenes. When rice leaves were inoculated with M. oryzae in the presence of CE from isolate 3–45, blast lesion formation was inhibited compared to leaves treated with M. oryzae in the absence of CE from isolate 3–45. In addition, M. oryzae infective activity was significantly inhibited in rice leaf sheaths treated with CE from isolate 3–45. Furthermore, abnormal appressorium formation was observed in the presence of heat‐treated CE from isolate 3–45. These results suggest that CE from isolate 3–45 can protect rice from blast disease caused by M. oryzae. Further studies are required to identify the active compounds present in 3–45‐CE and to clarify its mechanism of inhibition in full detail. The present study on isolate 3–45 might contribute to the development of a new fungicide for controlling rice blast disease caused by M. oryzae.     

Rice varieties with resistance to multiple races of Magnaporthe oryzae offer opportunities to manage rice blast in Australia

Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is the most destructive disease of rice worldwide. Development of resistant varieties is considered as the most cost‐effective and sustainable way to manage rice blast. However, there remains a lack of knowledge about the resistance of rice varieties to blast disease in Australia. This study was conducted to determine if there was any resistance existing among the rice varieties grown in Australia to M. oryzae isolates from this country that belong to different races. There was a resistant reaction of the variety SHZ‐2 to all the five races of IA‐1, IA‐3, IA‐63, IB‐3 and IB‐59, with a percent disease index (%DI) less than 40. Varieties NTR587, BR‐IRGA‐409, Ceysvoni and Rikuto Norin 20 showed a resistant reaction to races IA‐3, IA‐63, IB‐3 and IB‐59; and the variety Kyeema exhibited a resistant reaction to races IA‐3, IB‐3 and IB‐59. For the races IA‐1 and IB‐59 with more than one isolate, varieties with differential disease reactions across different isolates belonging to the same race were also revealed: five varieties, Langi, Opus, Sherpa, Viet 1 and Topaz, exhibited differential disease reactions to the three IA‐1 isolates; 10 varieties showed differential disease reactions to the four IB‐59 isolates; in addition, the varieties that had differential disease reactions to the IA‐1 isolates also exhibited differential disease reactions to the IB‐59 isolates of race. This study provides valuable resistance sources for breeding programmes to develop rice varieties with resistance to multiple races of M. oryzae in Australia.     

Sex at the origin: an Asian population of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae reproduces sexually

Sexual reproduction may be cryptic or facultative in fungi and therefore difficult to detect. Magnaporthe oryzae, which causes blast, the most damaging fungal disease of rice, is thought to originate from southeast Asia. It reproduces asexually in all rice‐growing regions. Sexual reproduction has been suspected in limited areas of southeast Asia, but has never been demonstrated in contemporary populations. We characterized several M. oryzae populations worldwide both biologically and genetically, to identify candidate populations for sexual reproduction. The sexual cycle of M. oryzae requires two strains of opposite mating types, at least one of which is female‐fertile, to come into contact. In one Chinese population, the two mating types were found to be present at similar frequencies and almost all strains were female‐fertile. Compatible strains from this population completed the sexual cycle in vitro and produced viable progenies. Genotypic richness and linkage disequilibrium data also supported the existence of sexual reproduction in this population. We resampled this population the following year, and the data obtained confirmed the presence of all the biological and genetic characteristics of sexual reproduction. In particular, a considerable genetic reshuffling of alleles was observed between the 2 years. Computer simulations confirmed that the observed genetic characteristics were unlikely to have arisen in the absence of recombination. We therefore concluded that a contemporary population of M. oryzae, pathogenic on rice, reproduces sexually in natura in southeast Asia. Our findings provide evidence for the loss of sexual reproduction by a fungal plant pathogen outside its centre of origin.
