The common bean rust fungus reduces harvests of the dry, edible common bean. Natural resistance genes in the plant can provide protection until a fungal strain that breaks resistance emerges. In this study, we demonstrate that benzo(1,2,3)thiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid S-methyl ester (BTH) sprayed on susceptible beans induces resistance to common bean rust. Protection occurred as soon as 72 h after treatment and resulted in no signs of disease 10 days after inoculation with rust spores. By contrast, the susceptible control plants sustained heavy infections and died. To understand the effect BTH has on the bean proteome, we measured the changes of accumulation for 3,973 proteins using mass spectrometry. The set of 409 proteins with significantly increased accumulation in BTH-treated leaves included receptor-like kinases SOBIR1, CERK1, and LYK5, which perceive pathogens, and EDS1, a regulator of the salicylic acid defense pathway. Other proteins that likely contributed to resistance included pathogenesis-related proteins, a full complement of enzymes that catalyze phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, and protein receptors, transporters, and enzymes that modulate other defense responses controlled by jasmonic acid, ethylene, brassinosteroid, abscisic acid, and auxin. Increases in the accumulation of proteins required for vesicle-mediated protein secretion and RNA splicing occurred as well. By contrast, more than half of the 168 decreases belonged to chloroplast proteins and proteins involved in cell expansion. These results reveal a set of proteins needed for rust resistance and reaffirm the utility of BTH to control disease by amplifying the natural immune system of the bean plant.

Specific Virulence

Five isolates of the bean rust fungus Uromyces appendiculatus were shown to be specifically virulent on bean genotypes of Andean origin. This specificity was demonstrated by the virulence of five pairs of isolates on a differential set of 30 Phaseolus vulgaris landraces. Each isolate pair was from a different country in the Americas and consisted of one Andean-specific isolate and one nonspecific isolate. Of the differential P. vulgaris landraces, 15 were of Middle American origin and 15 were of Andean origin. The Andean-specific rust isolates were highly virulent on Andean landraces but not on landraces of Middle American origin. Rust isolates with virulence to Middle American landraces were also generally virulent on Andean material; no truly Middle American-specific isolates were found. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of the rust isolates also distinguished the two groups. Four of the Andean-specific rust isolates formed a distinct group compared to four of the nonspecific isolates. Two of the isolates, one from each of the two virulence groups, had intermediate RAPD banding patterns, suggesting that plasmagomy but not karyogamy occurred between isolates of the two groups.

Components of disease development were measured in three cultivars of Phaseolus vulgaris L. (common bean) infected with Uromyces appendiculatus (Pers.:Pers.) Unger (bean rust fungus) race O. Disease measurements and light and electron microscope data of host-parasite relationships were obtained and analyzed. Uredinial size, infection efficiency, latent period, and fungal colony radius were measured from infected bean leaves that were grown under controlled conditions. Phaseolus vulgaris cultivar Pinto 111, a highly susceptible check, displayed the largest uredinia, the highest infection efficiency, large colony radii, and a short latent period. Cultivars Early Gallatin and Kentucky Wonder (K.W.) 814 displayed moderate and low susceptibility, respectively. Cultivar Early Gallatin had smaller uredinia, reduced infection efficiency, and longer latent period when compared with cv. Pinto 111. Cultivar K.W. 814 was characterized by minute pustules, restricted colony expansion, and the longest latent period. Ultrastructural data of host-parasite relationships were collected from infected leaf tissues and prepared for transmission electron microscopy by high-pressure cryofixation and freeze substitution. In 'Pinto 111' the collars around haustorial necks were composed of a fibrillar network embedded in an electron transparent matrix. Ultrastructural observations indicated that Cultivars K.W. 814 and Early Gallatin deposited more collar material than 'Pinto 111.' Networks of tubular endomembranes developed near the host-parasite interface in the host cytoplasm of cultivars K.W. 814 and Early Gallatin. The tubules showed continuity with the extrahaustorial membrane and contained an amorphous, electron-dense material in the lumen. Tubular endomembranes were not seen in the highly susceptible cultivar Pinto 111.

Rust Pathogens

Rust disease on the tropical pasture legume Macroptilium atropurpureum (siratro) is caused by Uromyces appendiculatus var. crassitunicatus. This pathogen was believed to be closely related to the bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) rust pathogen Uromyces appendiculatus var. appendiculatus. The genetic relationship between these two fungi was investigated. Total DNA hybridisations indicated that little homology exists between the high copy genomic DNA of these two rust fungi. Random genomic probes cloned from the bean rust fungus detected extensive Polymorphisms between the two, with only one probe from 17 being monomorphic. The ribosomal DNA repeat unit was also distinguished by RFLPs. It was calculated from the RFLP data that the bean rust fungus and the siratro rust fungus share only 8-14% sequence homology. The results indicate that the two fungi, although morphologically very similar, are not closely related genetically.

Abstract Background Disease resistance is an important factor that impacts rice production. However, the mechanisms underlying rice disease resistance remain to be elucidated. Results Here, we show that a robust set of genes has been defined in rice response to the infections of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and Magnaporthe oryzae (Mor). We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the available microarray data from a variety of rice samples with inoculation of Xoo and Mor. A set of 12,932 genes was identified to be regulated by Xoo and another set of 2709 Mor-regulated genes was determined. GO enrichment analysis of the regulated genes by Xoo or Mor suggested mitochondrion may be an arena for the up-regulated genes and chloroplast be another for the down-regulated genes by Xoo or Mor. Cytokinin-related processes were most frequently repressed by Xoo, while processes relevant to jasmonic acid and abscisic acid were most frequently activated by Xoo and Mor. Among genes responsive to Xoo and Mor, defense responses and diverse signaling pathways were the most frequently enriched resistance mechanisms. InterPro annotation showed the zinc finger domain family, WRKY proteins, and Myb domain proteins were the most significant transcription factors regulated by Xoo and Mor. KEGG analysis demonstrated pathways including ‘phenylpropanoid biosynthesis’, ‘biosynthesis of antibiotics’, ‘phenylalanine metabolism’, and ‘biosynthesis of secondary metabolites’ were most frequently triggered by Xoo and Mor, whereas ‘circadian rhythm-plant’ was the most frequent pathway repressed by Xoo and Mor. Conclusions The genes identified here represent a robust set of genes responsive to the infections of Xoo and Mor, which provides an overview of transcriptional reprogramming during rice defense against Xoo and Mor infections. Our study would be helpful in understanding the mechanisms of rice disease resistance.

Bean Leaves

Bean leaves inoculated 24 h previously with the bean rust fungus were inoculated with spores of Cochliobolus heterostrophus, Stemphylium sarcinaeforme, Stemphylium botryosum, or Cladosporium fulvum. For all species except C. fulvum, hyphal growth resulting from stomatal penetrations was greater than that in leaves that were not rust-infected but did not continue for more than about 24 h. The incidence of direct penetrations for these three fungi also was increased by prior rust infection, and the incidence of epidermal wall appositions was reduced. Growth of C. fulvum in rust-infected leaves only exceeded that in control leaves when spores were injected into the intercellular spaces of the mesophyll tissue. Rust infection either had little effect on the incidence of cell death, normally induced by all of the tested fungi except C. fulvum, or it enhanced this response in association with greater fungal growth. From this and previous studies, it seems that successful rust infection increases the growth of a wider array of fungi nonparasitic to beans than treatments with growth regulators or intercellular washing fluids from rusted tissue. Its effect is most closely mimicked by preinoculation treatments with heat or protein synthesis inhibitors, but it does not induce indiscriminate susceptibility. Its effect may, in part, be due to the suppression of defenses involving wall modifications. Key words: Uromyces appendiculatus, induced susceptibility, nonhost resistance.
