AbstractVascular wilt caused by Fusarium udum Butler is the most important disease of pigeonpea throughout the world. F. udum isolate MTCC 2204 (M1) inoculated pigeonpea plants of susceptible (ICP 2376) and resistant (ICP 8863) cultivars were taken at invasion stage of pathogenesis process for transcriptomic profiling to understand defense signaling reactions that interplay at early stage of this plant–pathogen encounter. Differential transcriptomic profiles were generated through cDNA-AFLP from M1 inoculated resistant and susceptible pigeonpea root tissues. Twenty five percent of transcript derived fragments (TDFs) were found to be pathogen induced. Among them 73 TDFs were re-amplified and sequenced. Homology search of the TDFs in available databases and thorough study of scientific literature identified several pathways, which could play crucial role in defense responses of the F. udum inoculated resistant plants. Some of the defense responsive pathways identified to be active during this interaction are, jasmonic acid and salicylic acid mediated defense responses, cell wall remodeling, vascular development and pattering, abscisic acid mediated responses, effector triggered immunity, and reactive oxygen species mediated signaling. This study identified important wilt responsive regulatory pathways in pigeonpea which will be helpful for further exploration of these resistant components for pigeonpea improvement.

Abstract GAMYB, UDT1, TIP2/bHLH142, TDR, and EAT1/DTD are important transcription factors (TFs) that play a crucial role during rice pollen development. This study demonstrates that bHLH142 acts downstream of UDT1 and GAMYB and works as a “hub” in these two pollen pathways. We show that GAMYB modulates bHLH142 expression through specific binding to the MYB motif of bHLH142 promoter during early stage of pollen development; while TDR acts as a transcriptional repressor of the GAMYB modulation of bHLH142 by binding to the E-box close to the MYB motif on the promoter. The altered expression of TFs highlights the importance that a tight, precise, and coordinated regulation among these TFs is essential for normal pollen development. Most notably, this study illustrates the regulatory pathways of GAMYB and UDT1 that rely on bHLH142 in a direct and an indirect manner, respectively, and function in different tissues with distinct biological functions during pollen development. This study advances our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of rice pollen development.

AbstractThis study reported the first-ever de novo transcriptome analysis of Operculina turpethum, a high valued endangered medicinal plant, using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. The de novo assembly generated a total of 64,259 unigenes and 20,870 CDS (coding sequence) with a mean length of 449 bp and 571 bp respectively. Further, 20,218 and 16,458 unigenes showed significant similarity with identified proteins of NR (non-redundant) and UniProt database respectively. The homology search carried out against publicly available database found the best match with Ipomoea nil sequences (82.6%). The KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway analysis identified 6538 unigenes functionally assigned to 378 modules with phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway as the most enriched among the secondary metabolite biosynthesis pathway followed by terpenoid biosynthesis. A total of 17,444 DEGs were identified among which majority of the DEGs (Differentially Expressed Gene) involved in secondary metabolite biosynthesis were found to be significantly upregulated in stem as compared to root tissues. The qRT-PCR validation of 9 unigenes involved in phenylpropanoid and terpenoid biosynthesis also showed a similar expression pattern. This finding suggests that stem tissues, rather than root tissues, could be used to prevent uprooting of O. turpethum in the wild, paving the way for the plant's effective conservation. Moreover, the study formed a valuable repository of genetic information which will provide a baseline for further molecular research.

Abstract We determined the effects of insufficient maternal energy on testicular development in offspring in a swine model. Thirty-six sows were divided into control (CON) and low-energy diet (LE) groups during gestation. We observed that the number of Sertoli, germ, and Leydig cells in the offspring of the CON group were significantly higher than those in the LE group at 28 and 120 d after birth. Furthermore, the percentage of apoptotic testis cells was significantly higher in the offspring of the LE group than in the CON group. Transcriptome analysis of differentially expressed mRNAs and long noncoding RNAs in offspring testes indicated that these RNAs were mainly involved in lipid metabolism, apoptosis, cell proliferation, and some pivotal regulatory pathways. Results revealed that AMPK–PI3K–mTOR, MAPK, and oxidative phosphorylation signaling pathways play an important role in mediating the programming effect of insufficient maternal energy on testicular development, and that this effect occurs mainly at an early stage in life. mRNA and protein expression analyses confirmed the importance of certain signaling pathways in the regulation of testicular development. This study provides insights into the influence and possible mechanism underlying the effect of inadequate maternal energy intake on testicular development in the offspring.

In the current study, we identified a transcription factor, MYB14, from Chinese wild grape, Vitis quinquangularis-Pingyi (V. quinquangularis-PY), which could enhance the main stilbene contents and expression of stilbene biosynthesis genes (StSy/RS) by overexpression of VqMYB14. The promoter of VqMYB14 (pVqMYB14) was shown to be induced as part of both basal immunity (also called pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity, PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI), triggered by the elicitors flg22 and harpin, respectively. This was demonstrated by expression of pVqMYB14 in Nicotiana benthamiana and Vitis. We identified sequence differences, notably an 11 bp segment in pVqMYB14 that is important for the PTI/ETI, and particularly for the harpin-induced ETI response. In addition, we showed that activation of the MYB14 promoter correlates with differences in the expression of MYB14 and stilbene pattern induced by flg22 and harpin. An experimental model of upstream signaling in V. quinquangularis-PY is presented, where early defense responses triggered by flg22 and harpin partially overlap, but where the timing and levels differ. This translates into a qualitative difference with respect to patterns of stilbene accumulation.

Many phytopathogenic type III secretion effector proteins (T3Es) have been shown to target and suppress plant immune signaling but perturbation of the plant immune system by T3Es can also elicit a plant response. XopX is a “core” Xanthomonas T3E that contributes to growth and symptom development during Xanthomonas euvesicatoria infection of tomato but its functional role is undefined. We tested the effect of XopX on several aspects of plant immune signaling. XopX promoted ethylene production and plant cell death (PCD) during X. euvesicatoria infection of susceptible tomato and in transient expression assays in Nicotiana benthamiana, which is consistent with its requirement for the development of X. euvesicatoria-induced disease symptoms. Additionally, although XopX suppressed flagellin-induced reactive oxygen species, it promoted the accumulation of pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) gene transcripts. Surprisingly, XopX coexpression with other PCD elicitors resulted in delayed PCD, suggesting antagonism between XopX-dependent PCD and other PCD pathways. However, we found no evidence that XopX contributed to the suppression of effector-triggered immunity during X. euvesicatoria–tomato interactions, suggesting that XopX's primary virulence role is to modulate PTI. These results highlight the dual role of a core Xanthomonas T3E in simultaneously suppressing and activating plant defense responses.

Downy mildew is an important disease in maize cultivation in the world. Induced resistance is one of the methods used to control plant diseases. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lignification are plant defense responses. This study aims to determine the potential of chemicals as an inducer by observing ROS responses and lignification of mycelium. The materials used are benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, salicylic acid, thiamine, saccharin and aspirin with concentration 2 g L-1 of distilled water. The ROS reaction is indicated by all treatments induced and inoculated by pathogens. Lignification of mycelium occurred in the treatment of aspirin at 6 hours observation after inoculation and saccharin treatment on observation 12 hours after inoculation. Based on the observation of ROS and lignification of the mycelium, it is suspected that the material tested has the potential to be further tested as an inducer because it has the ability to activate an early marker of plant resistance in the form of ROS reaction and lignification of mycelium. IntisariBulai merupakan penyakit penting dalam budidaya jagung di dunia.

Abstract Background: Wheat leaf rust is an important disease worldwide. Understanding the pathogenic molecular mechanism of Puccinia triticina Eriks . ( Pt ) and the inconstant toxic region is critical for managing the disease. The present study aimed to analyze the pathogenic divergence between Pt isolates. Results: Total RNA was extracted from the wheat cultivar Thatcher infected by two Pt isolates, Tc361_1 (THTT) and Tc284_2 (THTS), at 144 hours post inoculation (hpi). The mRNA was then sequenced, and a total of 2,784 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected. Forty-five genes were specifically expressed in THTT; these genes included transcription initiation factors and genes with transmembrane transporter activity and other genes. Twenty-six genes were specifically expressed in THTS, including genes with GTPase activity, ABC transporters and other genes. Fifty-four differentially expressed candidate effectors were screened from the two isolates. Two candidate effectors were chosen and validated on tobacco, and the results showed that they could inhibit necrosis induced by BAX. qRT-PCR of 12 significant DEGs was carried out to validate that the results are similar to those of RNA-seq at 144 hpi, to show the expression levels of these DEGs in the early stage and to elucidate the differences in expression between the two Pt pathotypes. Conclusion: The results obtained in this study showed that although the two pathotypes of THTT and THTS contribute similar virulence to wheat, there are a large number of genes participate in the interaction with the susceptible wheat cultivar Thatcher, and revealed the pathogenicity of rust is very complicated.
