Population Genetics of Three Important Head Blight Pathogens Fusarium graminearum, F. pseudograminearum and F. culmorum

Homothallic Fusarium graminearum (teleomorph Gibberella zeae) and anamorphic F. culmorum are destructive pathogens causing Fusarium head blight (FHB) of small‐grain cereals worldwide, while heterothallic F. pseudograminearum (G. coronicola) seems to be restricted to Australia as a FHB pathogen. In a comprehensive treatise of pathogen population genetics, this review summarizes global knowledge of genetic diversity among isolates sampled at various spatial and temporal scales, examines the mechanisms that generate this diversity and explores the implications of pathogen diversity and plasticity to resistance breeding. Despite their different modes of reproduction, there is large variation among isolates of all three species originating from different countries and continents. With a few exceptions, haplotype diversity ranges from 60 to 100% even within populations from individual fields. In F. graminearum, over 90% of the variation is found within populations, even when samples are collected from areas as small as 0.25 m². Variation among populations is low (4–8%) with negligible population subdivision. This indicates a high level of gene flow (N_m = 8–71) with linkage equilibrium for the majority of selectively neutral molecular marker loci analysed. These findings for F. graminearum point to large random mating populations driven by occasional outcrossing, high gene flow across large geographical distances and a relatively low host‐mediated directional selection. Similar conclusions can be drawn for the Canadian population of F. pseudograminearum, but not for populations from Australia, where different pathogen ecology may have reduced the frequency of sexual recombination. Phylogenetic analyses indicate delineation of lineages in F. graminearum, often along geographically separated lines, while the related F. pseudograminearum is a single recombining species with limited or no lineage development. The anamorphic F. culmorum shows no obvious clonal structure in its population as might have been expected. High levels of diversity within fields may have been caused by balancing selection from frequent alternation between saprophytic and parasitical life cycle and/or a hidden or recently extinct teleomorph. Other mechanisms including parasexual cycles or active transposable elements may also be involved but these have not been investigated as yet. Crosses between and among F. graminearum lineages have shown a rather simple, additive inheritance of pathogenicity and aggressiveness with frequent transgressive segregation in crosses among isolates with moderate aggressiveness. This raises the spectre of highly aggressive and/or toxigenic isolates evolving if a limited range of quantitative trait locus for FHB resistance is deployed on a large scale. Combining more than one genetically distinct sources of resistance, possibly with different modes of action against the pathogen, will be necessary to avoid severe FHB outbreaks in the future.     

Identification of differentially regulated proteins in response to a compatible interaction between the pathogen Fusarium graminearum and its host, Triticum aestivum

Using proteomic analyses, a study was carried out aimed at understanding the molecular mechanism of interaction between Fusarium graminearum and Triticum aestivum. Wheat spikelets were inoculated with H2O and conidia spores of F. graminearum. Proteins were extracted from spikelets harvested at three time points: 1, 2 and 3 days post inoculation. About 1380 protein spots were displayed on 2-D gels stained with Sypro Ruby. In total, 41 proteins were detected to be differentially regulated due to F. graminearum infection, and were analyzed with LC-MS/MS for their identification. The proteins involved in the antioxidant and jasmonic acid signaling pathways, pathogenesis-related response, amino acid synthesis and nitrogen metabolism were up-regulated, while those related to photosynthesis were less abundant following F. graminearum infection. The DNA-damage inducible protein was found to be induced and glycosylated in F. graminearum-infected spikelets. Using TargetP program, seven of the identified wheat proteins were predicted to be located in the chloroplast, implying that the chloroplast is the organelle mostly affected by F. graminearum infection. Eight identified fungal proteins possess possible functions such as antioxidant and acquiring carbon from wheat through glycolysis in a compatible interaction between F. graminearum and wheat.

禾谷镰孢菌果胶裂解酶PelA的生物学功能分析

果胶裂解酶是果胶酶的重要成员之一,能够通过B-消除作用,催化降解（1—4）-α-D-聚半乳糖醛酸。本研究首次鉴定出禾谷镰孢茵中的一个果胶裂解酶PelA,并在体外检测了其生化特性。PelA基因（FGSG_02386）的cDNA被克隆并进行了原核表达,同时构建了单基因敲除突变体。将重组质粒pET-28a（＋）-PelA转化蛋白表达菌株大肠杆菌BL21表达目的蛋白,纯化后的蛋白具有果胶裂解酶活性。酶活性测定结果显示,该酶的活性受到外界环境因素如温度、钙离子浓度和pH条件的影响,其最适反应条件为50℃,CaCl：浓度0-5mmol·L^-1,pH8-5。在侵染小麦胚芽鞘时PelA单基因突变体的毒力较野生型菌株并没有出现明显变化。     

Isolation and characterization of dinucleotide microsatellite loci in the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)

The endangered Asian elephant is found today primarily in protected areas. We characterized 18 dinucleotide microsatellite loci in this species. Allelic diversity ranged from three to eight per locus, and observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.200 to 0.842 in a wild population. All loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, but linkage disequilibrium was detected between two loci in the wild, but not in the zoo elephants. These loci will be useful for the population-level studies of this species.     

Choline transport in Fusarium graminearum A 35

Fusarium graminearum A 3/5 possesses a high affinity system (Km = 32 +/- 8 microM; mean +/- SE) for uptake of choline, which was shown to be energy-dependent and constitutive. The maximum rate of choline uptake by this system was repressed by ammonia and glucose, showing a three-fold increase in maximum activity after nitrogen (2 h) or carbon (4 h) starvation. The system was highly specific for choline with only dimethylethanolamine (Ki = 198 +/- 29 microM), betaine aldehyde (Ki = 95 +/- 14 microM) and chlorocholine (Ki = 352 +/- 40 microM) acting as competitive inhibitors. Hemicholinium-3 acted as a mixed (non-competitive) inhibitor (KIES = 1.9 +/- 0.6 microM; KIE = 3.6 +/- 1.9 microM).

Effect of Trichoderma harzianum on perithecial production of Gibberella zeae on wheat straw

Conidial suspensions and cell-free filtrates of Trichoderma harzianum isolates were evaluated for their effectiveness in reducing perithecial and ascospore production of Gibberella zeae on wheat straw. Isolate T-22, which is registered in the US as a biological control agent (Plant Shield™), was included in the study as a positive control. When co-inoculated with G. zeae all 11 isolates of T. harzianum significantly reduced perithecial numbers on wheat straw. Five T. harzianum isolates, including T-22, reduced perithecial formation by 70% or greater. All isolates of G. zeae, varied in their ability to produce perithecia. Isolate 192132 produced the greatest number of perithecia and was used to further evaluate the effect of application time of the T. harzianum isolates. Perithecial reduction was highest (96-99%) when T. harzianum conidial suspension or cell-free filtrate was applied to straw 24 h prior to inoculation with G. zeae. Control was less effective when T. harzianum was applied at the same time (co-inoculated) or 24 h after G. zeae. Treatments which reduced perithecial numbers also reduced ascospore numbers; however, the average numbers of ascospores per perithecia were not significantly lowered. Field trials showed significant reduction of perithecia on residues treated with T. harzianum prior to placement on the soil surface. Both T. harzianum and G. zeae were re-isolated from residues sampled in July and August after 30 and 60 days of exposure to the environment.

Contamination of malt barley and wheat by Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum from the crop years 2001-2003 in eastern Croatia

This study investigated infection levels with Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum in malt barley and wheat in eastern Croatia. The contamination was surveyed over three consecutive crop years (2001–2003) on five locations for barley and three wheat cultivating locations. F. graminearum loads reached levels of potentially serious threat for the commercial production of malting raw materials in both cereals (up to 29.1%). On the other hand, the mean percentage of kernels infected with F. culmorum was low to medium (up to 6.1%). The fungal invasions for years and locations were affected by meteorologic and other environmental factors and the pattern seemed to be consistent with species-specific optimal conditions reported by other authors.
