TheMagnaporthe grisea repeat (MGR) sequence MGR586 has been widely used for population studies of the rice blast fungus, and has enabled classification of the fungal population into hundreds of genetic lineages. While studying the distribution of MGR586 sequences in strains ofM. grisea, we discovered that the plasmid probe pCB586 contains a significant amount of single-copy DNA. To define precisely the boundary of the repetitive DNA in pCB586, this plasmid and four cosmid clones containing MGR586 were sequenced. Only 740 bp of one end of the 2.6-bp insert in the pCB586 plasmid was common to all clones. DNA sequence analysis of cosmid DNA revealed that all the cosmids contained common sequences beyond the cloning site in pCB586, indicating that the repetitive DNA in the fingerprinting clone is part of a larger element. The entire repetitive element was sequenced and found to resemble an inverted repeat transposon. This putative transposon is 1.86 kb in length and has perfect terminal repeats of 42 bp, which themselves contain direct repeats of 16 bp. The internal region of the transposon possesses one open reading frame which shows similarity at the peptide level to the Pot2 transposon fromM. grisea and Fot1 fromFusarium oxysporum. Hybridization studies using the entire element as a probe revealed that some strains ofM. grisea, whose DNA hybridized to the pCB586 probe, entirely lacked MGR586 transposon sequences. 相似文献

Rice blast, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe grisea, is a globally important disease of rice that causes annual yield losses. The segregation of genes controlling the virulence
of M. grisea on rice was studied to establish the genetic basis of cultivar specificity in the interaction of rice and M. grisea. The segregation of avirulence and virulence was studied in 87 M. grisea F1 progeny isolates from a cross of two isolates, Guy11 and JS153, using resistance-gene-differential rice cultivars. The segregation
ratio indicated that avirulence and virulence in the rice cultivars Aichi–asahi and K59, respectively, are controlled by single
major genes. Genetic analyses of backcrosses and full-sib crosses in these populations were also performed. The χ2 test of goodness-of-fitness for a 1:1 ratio indicated that one dominant gene controls avirulence in Aichi-asahi and K59 in
this population. Based on the resistance reactions of rice differential lines harboring known resistance genes to the parental
isolates, two genetically independent avirulence genes, AVR–Pit and AVR–Pia, were identified. Genetic linkage analysis showed that the SSR marker m355–356 is closely linked to AVR–Pit, on the telomere of chromosome 1 at a distance of approximately 2.3 cM. The RAPD marker S487, which was converted to a sequence-characterized
amplified region (SCAR) marker, was found to be closely linked to AVR–Pia, on the chromosome 7 telomere at a distance of 3.5 cM. These molecular markers will facilitate the positional cloning of
the two AVR genes, and can be applied to molecular-marker-assisted studies of M. grisea populations. 相似文献

Mating-type Distribution and Fertility Status in Magnaporthe grisea Populations from Argentina 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Isolates of Magnaporthe grisea causing gray leaf spot on rice were collected in Argentina and analyzed for mating distribution and fertility. One hundred
and twenty-five isolates of M. grisea were collected from rice plants between 2000 and 2003. Each isolate was tested for mating type through a polymerase chain
reaction based assay. All M. grisea isolates from Argentina belonged to a single mating type, MAT1.1. The fertility status of isolates was determined using controlled crosses in vitro, pairing each isolate with GUY11 and KA9 (MAT1.2 standard hermaphroditic testers). Production of perithecia was scarce among
isolates of the blast pathogen since a low percentage of them (7.2%) developed perithecia with only one of the fertile tester
(KA9); all crosses failed with the other tester strain. Asci and ascospores were not observed. The presence of only one mating
type and the absence of female fertile isolates indicate that sexual reproduction is rare or absent in M. grisea populations associated with rice in Argentina. 相似文献

Fungal secondary metabolites are an important source of bioactive compounds for agrochemistry and pharmacology. Over the past decade, many studies have been undertaken to characterize the biosynthetic pathways of fungal secondary metabolites. This effort has led to the discovery of new compounds, gene clusters, and key enzymes, and has been greatly supported by the recent releases of fungal genome sequences. In this review, we present results from a search for genes involved in secondary metabolism and their clusters in the genome of the rice pathogen, Magnaporthe grisea, as well as in other fungal genomes. We have also performed a phylogenetic analysis of recently discovered genes encoding hybrids between a polyketide synthase and a single non-ribosomal peptide synthetase module (PKS–NRPS), as M. grisea seems rich in these enzymes compared with other fungi. Using results from expression and functional studies, we discuss the role of these PKS-NRPS in the avirulence and pathogenicity of M. grisea. 相似文献

Isolation of TC/AG Repeat Microsatellite Sequences for Fingerprinting Rice Blast Fungus and Their Possible Horizontal Transfer to Plant Species 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Genome fingerprinting has been a major role in characterization of population structure and analysis of the variability in phytopathogenic fungi. In order to characterize Korean rice blast fungal isolates, the genomic DNAs were digested with Alu I endonuclease and subsequent PCR amplifications using random decamer primers with combinations of microsatellite primers had been carried out. This Alu-Inter SSR technique revealed high polymorphism among the Korean blast fungal isolates. Then, fragments from the Alu-Inter SSR analysis were isolated to be used as probes in Southern hybridization, which also revealed high polymorphism between isolates to distinguish individuals. The sequences of the isolated fragments contained TC/AG tandem repeats interspersed with a 30 bp direct repeat. In gel blot analysis, the isolated TC/AG repeat microsatellite sequences were proved to be useful for characterizing the isolates in blast fungi in addition to the conventional MGR (Magnaporthe grisea repeat) probes. One interesting point was that the rice blast fungus derived TC/AG repeat microsatellite sequences were abundant in non-rice blast fungi and plant species, but not in other fungi and yeasts. A discussion on the possible horizontal gene transfer between phytopathogenic fungi and host plants is presented. 相似文献

Magnaporthe grisea causes rice blast, the most important fungal disease of rice. The segregation of genes controlling virulence of M. grisea on rice was studied to establish the genetic basis of cultivar specificity in this host-parasite interaction. Full-sib progeny and parent isolates Guy11 and 2539 of M. grisea were inoculated onto rice (Oryza sativa) cultivar CO39 and five near-isogenic lines (NILs) of CO39. Each NIL contained a different single gene affecting resistance to specific isolates of M. grisea. No differential interactions between NILs and progeny or parents were observed; parents and progeny pathogenic on CO39 were pathogenic on all five NILs. Segregation ratios of 101 full-sib progeny, 117 progeny from full-sib parents, and 109 backcross progeny, indicated a common single gene affecting pathogenicity on CO39 and the five NILs. A subset of the above 327 isolates (43 fullsib progeny, 37 progeny from full-sib parents, and 32 backcross progeny) were inoculated onto rice cultivar 51583; all were pathogenic, indicating that cultivar specificity to CO39 was segregating in this population of isolates. The locus controlling cultivar specificity, named avrCO39, was mapped to chromosome 1 using a subset of the progeny previously used to construct an RFLP map of M. grisea. The closest reported RFLP markers were 11.8 (estimated 260 kb) and 17.2 cM (estimated 380 kb) away and provide starting points on either side of the locus for a chromosome walk to clone the locus. 相似文献

Mj-AMP2, a knottin-type antimicrobial peptide, in vitro inhibits the growth of several plant pathogenic fungi including Magnaporthe oryzae. We demonstrate that transgenic rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants expressing the Mj-AMP2 gene show enhanced resistance to M. grisea, the causal agent of the rice blast disease. Mj-AMP2 was efficiently expressed and the level of Mj-AMP2 ranged from 0.32% to 0.38% of the total protein in the transgenic rice plants. In vitro inhibitory activity assays with the crude protein extract from transgenic rice indicated that the Mj-AMP2 protein produced was biologically active. Constitutive expression of Mj-AMP2 in transgenic rice reduces the growth of M. grisea by 63% with respect to untransformed control plant, and no effect on plant phenotype was observed. Transgene expression of Mj-AMP2 gene was not accompanied by an induction of pathogenesis-related (PR) gene expression indicating that the transgene product itself is directly active against the pathogen. The results presented in this study suggest that the Mj-AMP2 gene could be a useful candidate for protection of rice plants against the rice blast fungus M. grisea. 相似文献

In order to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the gene-for-gene type of pathogen resistance, high-resolution
genetic and physical mapping of resistance loci is required to facilitate map-based cloning of resistance genes. Here, we
report the molecular mapping and cloning of a dominant gene (Pi-k
h
) present in the rice line Tetep, which is associated with resistance to rice blast disease caused by Magnaporthe grisea. This gene is effective against M. grisea populations prevalent in the Northwestern Himalayan region of India. Using 178 sequence tagged microsatellite, sequence-tagged
site, expressed sequence tag and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to genotype a population of 208 F2 individuals, we mapped the Pi-k
h
gene between two SSR markers (TRS26 and TRS33) which are 0.7 and 0.5 cM away, respectively, and can be used in marker-assisted-selection
for blast-resistant rice cultivars. We used the markers to identify the homologous region in the genomic sequence of Oryza sativa cv. Nipponbare, and a physical map consisting of two overlapping bacterial artificial chromosome and P1 artificial chromosome
clones was assembled, spanning a region of 143,537 bp on the long arm of chromosome 11. Using bioinformatic analyses, we then
identified a candidate blast-resistance gene in the region, and cloned the homologous sequence from Tetep. The putative Pi-k
h
gene cloned from Tetep is 1.5 kbp long with a single ORF, and belongs to the nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat
class of disease resistance genes. Structural and expression analysis of the Pi-k
h
gene revealed that its expression is pathogen inducible. 相似文献

Two purified oligosaccharide elicitors generatable from fungal cell walls, N-acetylchitoheptaose and a tetraglucosyl glucitol from rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe grisea), synergistically activated phytoalexin biosynthesis in cultured rice cells. Inhibition experiments for the binding of radiolabeled N-acetylchitooligosaccharide elicitor to the plasma membrane from rice cells indicate that the two elicitors are recognized by different receptors. These results also indicate the presence of a positive interaction between the signal transduction cascade downstream of each elicitor/receptor, which enhances resistance against pathogens. 相似文献

We report the cloning and characterisation of Pot2, a putative transposable element from Magnaporthe grisea. The element is 1857 by in size, has 43-bp perfect terminal inverted repeats (TIRs) and 16-bp direct repeats within the TIRs. A large open reading frame, potentially coding for a transposase-like protein, was identified. This putative protein coding region showed extensive identity to that of Fott, a transposable element from another phytopathogenic fungus, Fusarium oxysporum. Pot2, like the transposable elements Tc1 and Mariner of Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila, respectively, duplicates the dinucleotide TA at the target insertion site. Sequence analysis of DNA flanking 12 Pot2 elements revealed similarity to the consensus insertion sequence of Tct. Pot2 is present at a copy number of approximately 100 per haploid genome and represents one of the major repetitive DNAs shared by both rice and non-rice pathogens of M. grisea. 相似文献

Pi-z is a disease resistance gene that has been effectively used to combat a broad-spectrum of races of the rice blast fungus
Magnaporthe grisea. Although DNA markers have been reported for selection of the Pi2(t) and Pi-z resistance genes at the Pi-z locus, markers that are more tightly linked to the Pi-z locus would benefit rapid and effective cultivar development. Analysis of the publicly available genome sequence of Nipponbare
near the Pi-z locus revealed numerous SSRs that could be converted into markers. Three SSRs on rice PAC AP005659 were found to be very
tightly linked to the Pi-z locus, with one marker, AP5659-3, co-segregating with the Pi-z resistance reaction. The Pi-z factor conferring resistance to two races of blast was mapped to a 57 kb region on the physical map of Nipponbare in a location
where the Pi2(t) gene was physically mapped. Two SSR marker haplotypes were unique for cultivars carrying the Pi-z gene, which indicates these markers are useful for selection of resistance genes at the Pi-z locus in rice germplasm. 相似文献

Rice blast disease is a major constraint for rice breeding. Nevertheless, the genetic basis of resistance remains poorly understood for most rice varieties, and new resistance genes remain to be identified. We identified the resistance gene corresponding to the cloned avirulence gene ACE1 using pairs of isogenic strains of Magnaporthe grisea differing only by their ACE1 allele. This resistance gene was mapped on the short arm of rice chromosome 8 using progenies from the crosses IR64 (resistant) × Azucena (susceptible) and Azucena × Bala (resistant). The isogenic strains also permitted the detection of this resistance gene in several rice varieties, including the differential isogenic line C101LAC. Allelism tests permitted us to distinguish this gene from two other resistance genes [Pi11 and Pi-29(t)] that are present on the short arm of chromosome 8. Segregation analysis in F2 populations was in agreement with the existence of a single dominant gene, designated as Pi33. Finally, Pi33 was finely mapped between two molecular markers of the rice genetic map that are separated by a distance of 1.6 cM. Detection of Pi33 in different semi-dwarf indica varieties indicated that this gene could originate from either one or a few varieties.Communicated by D.J. Mackill 相似文献

One 5S ribosomal RNA gene (5S rDNA) locus was localized on chromosome 11 of japonica rice by in situ hybridization. The biotinylated DNA probe used was prepared by direct cloning and direct labeling methods, and the locus was localized to the proximal region of the short arm of chromosome 11 (llpl.l) by imaging methods. The distance between the signal site and the centromere is 4.0 arbitrary units, where the total length of the short arm is 43.3 units. The 5S rDNA locus physically identified and mapped in rice was designated as 5SRrn. The position of the 5S rDNA locus reported here differs from that in indica rice; possible reasons for this difference are discussed. DNA sequences of 5S rDNA are also reported. 相似文献

The population structure of Magnaporthe oryzae from green foxtail (Setaria viridis) in Japan was examined by DNA fingerprint analyses using the transposable elements MGR586 and MAGGY as probes. Fifteen M. oryzae isolates from green foxtail were collected from 11 Japanese prefectures so that a macrogeographic population of this pathogen
is represented. All the 15 isolates were sorted into distinct haplotypes by DNA fingerprint analyses with both probes. Furthermore,
similarities between the DNA fingerprint profiles of the 15 isolates were exclusively low; i.e., if lineages are arbitrarily
established based on greater than 70% similarities in isolates, the 15 isolates could be categorized into 13 distinct lineages
by DNA fingerprinting with both probes. We also examined the MGR586 DNA fingerprint variations of this pathogen in 9 microgeographic
populations each of which contained 20 to 24 isolates collected from a 1 m2 or 50 m2 area. In all the 9 populations, more than 2 haplotypes, which shared less than 70% similarities, were identified in the DNA
fingerprint profiles. These results suggested that M. oryzae isolates from the green foxtail in Japan possessed a complex lineage structure, even at the microgeographic scale. 相似文献

Neutral and pathogenicity markers were used to analyse the population structure of Magnaporthe grisea rice isolates from the north‐western Himalayan region of India. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)‐based DNA fingerprinting of 48 rice isolates of M. grisea with five primers (OPA‐04, OPA‐10, OPA‐13, OPJ‐06 and OPJ‐19) showed a total of 65 RAPD bands, of which 54 were polymorphic. Cluster analysis of 48 rice isolates of M. grisea on the basis of these 65 RAPD bands revealed the presence of high genotypic diversity and continuous DNA fingerprint variation in the pathogen population. No correlation was observed between RAPD patterns and virulence characteristics of the pathogen. The observed population structure contrasted with presumed clonal reproductive behaviour of the pathogen and indicated the possibility of ongoing genetic recombination in the pathogen population. Analysis of the virulence organization of five RAPD groups (RG1–RG5) using 20 rice genotypes comprising at least 15 resistance genes revealed that no combination of resistance genes would confer resistance against all RAPD fingerprint groups present in the M. grisea rice population. The possible implications of the observed population structure of M. grisea for blast resistance breeding have been discussed. 相似文献

Summary A gene from Magnaporthe grisea was cloned using a cDNA clone of the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides cutinase gene as a heterologous probe; the nucleotide sequence of a 2 kb DNA segment containing the gene has been determined. DNA hybridization analysis shows that the M. grisea genome contains only one copy of this gene. The predicted polypeptide contains 228 amino acids and is homologous to the three previously characterized cutinases, showing 74% amino acid similarity to the cutinase of C. gloeosporioides. Comparison with previously determined cutinase sequences suggests that the gene contains two introns, 115 and 147 bp in length. The gene is expressed when cutin is the sole carbon source but not when the carbon source is cutin and glucose together or glucose alone. Levels of intracellular and extracellular cutinase activity increase in response to growth in the presence of cutin. The activity level is higher in a transformant containing multiple copies of the cloned gene than in the parent strain. Non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels stained for esterase activity show a single major band among intracellular and extracellular proteins from cutin-grown cultures that is not present among intracellular and extracellular proteins prepared from glucose-grown or carbon-starved cultures. This band stains more intensely in extracts from the multicopy transformant than in extracts from the parent strain. We conclude that the cloned DNA contains a M. grisea gene for cutinase, which we have named CUT1. 相似文献

A high-density genetic map of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea (Guy11×2539) was constructed by adding 87 cosmid-derived RFLP markers to previously generated maps. The new map consists
of 203 markers representing 132 independently segregating loci and spans approximately 900 cM with an average resolution of
4.5 cM. Mapping of 33 cosmid probes from the genetic map generated by Sweigard et al. has allowed the integration of two M. grisea maps. The integrated map showed that the linear order of markers along all seven chromosomes in both maps is in good agreement.
Thirty of eighty seven markers were derived from cosmid clones that contained the retrotransposon MAGGY (M. grisea gypsy element). Mapping of single-copy DNA sequences associated with the MAGGY cosmids indicated that MAGGY elements are
scattered throughout the fungal genome. In eight cases, the probes associated with MAGGY elements showed abnormal segregation
patterns. This suggests that MAGGY may be involved in genomic rearrangements. Two RFLP probes linked to MAGGY elements, and
another flanking other repetitive DNA elements, identified sequences that were duplicated in the Guy11 genome. Most of the
MAGGY cosmids also contained other classes of repetitive DNA suggesting that repetitive DNA sequences tend to cluster in the
M. grisea genome.
