ABSTRACTWe describe the genome contents of sixProtomycesspp. that are pathogenic within the typical host range of the genus and a novelProtomycesstrain (SC29) that was previously isolated from the phylloplane of wildArabidopsis thaliana(Arabidopsis), an atypical or possible alternate host. Genome-wide phylogenetic analysis defined SC29 as a distinctProtomycessp. Analysis of gene family expansions, gene retention, and gene loss patterns among theseProtomycesspp. lead us to hypothesize that SC29 may have undergone a host jump. The role of phyllosphere residency in the lifecycle ofProtomycesspp. was previously unknown. Genomic changes in SC29 and all otherProtomycesspp. were consistent with adaptations to the plant phylloplane. As predicted by our analysis of its mating locus, SC29 did not cause disease onArabidopsisas a single strain, but could persist in its phylloplane, while the closely relatedP. inouyeidoes not. SC29 treatedArabidopsisexhibited enhanced immunity againstBotrytis cinereainfection, associated with activation of MAPK3/6, camalexin, and SA-signalling pathways. We conclude that SC29 is a novelProtomycessp. able to survive in theArabidopsisphylloplane and that phylloplane residency is an important element in the lifecycle ofProtomycesspp.

DDE transposase 4 (DDE_Tnp_4) family is a large endonuclease family involved in a wide variety of biological processes. However, little information is available about this family in crustaceans. In this study, we used HMMER to identify 39 DDE_Tnp_4 family genes in Eriocheir sinensis genome, and the genes were classified into four subfamilies according to phylogenetic analysis. Gene expansions occurred among E. sinensis genome, and synteny analysis revealed that some DDE_Tnp_4 family genes were caused by tandem duplication. In addition, the expression profiles of DDE_Tnp_4 family genes in E. sinensis indicated that subfamily I and II genes were up-regulated in response to acute high salinity and air exposure stress. E. sinensis is a kind of economical crustacean with strong tolerance to environmental stress. We confirmed the expansion of DDE_Tnp_4 family genes in E. sinensis and speculated that this expansion is associated with strong tolerance of E. sinensis. This study sheds light on characterizations and expression profiles of DDE_Tnp_4 family genes in E. sinensis and provides an integrated framework for further investigation on environmental adaptive functions of DDE_Tnp_4 family in crustaceans.

Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are a class of nitrogen-containing glycosides occurring in several plant families and biosynthesized through a specific pathway. HMG-CoA reductase is the first enzyme of this pathway, and its transcription can be regulated by biotic and abiotic stressors and even in a tissue-specific manner. This study aimed to characterize the HMG genes family in a tuber-bearing potato species, Solanum commersonii, using transcriptional and functional approaches. Our results provided evidence that four ScHMGs with different tissue-specificities represent the HMG gene family in S. commersonii and that they originated from ScHMG1 through segmental duplications. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that ScHMG1 is the direct ortholog of AtHMG1, which is associated with SGAs accumulation in plants. Its overexpression in S. commersonii revealed that this gene plays a key role in the accumulation of glycoalkaloids regulating the production of dehydrocommersonine.
