Journal ArticleDOI
Cotton plants export microRNAs to inhibit virulence gene expression in a fungal pathogen
Tao Zhang,Yunlong Zhao,Jianhua Zhao,Sheng Wang,Yun Jin,Zhong-Qi Chen,Yuan-Yuan Fang,Chenlei Hua,Shou-Wei Ding,Hui-Shan Guo +9 more
TL;DR: This work shows that in response to infection with Verticillium dahliae, cotton plants increase production of microRNA 166 and miR159 and export both to the fungal hyphae for specific silencing, identifying a novel defence strategy of host plants by exporting specific miRNAs to induce cross-kingdom gene silencing in pathogenic fungi and confer disease resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suppression of Arabidopsis ARGONAUTE1-Mediated Slicing, Transgene-Induced RNA Silencing, and DNA Methylation by Distinct Domains of the Cucumber mosaic virus 2b Protein
Cheng-Guo Duan,Yuan-Yuan Fang,Bangjun Zhou,Jianhua Zhao,Wei-Na Hou,Hui Zhu,Shou-Wei Ding,Hui-Shan Guo +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that 2b may suppress PTGS and RdDM in vivo by binding and sequestering siRNA and the long dsRNA precursor in a process that is facilitated by its interactions with AGOs in the nucleolus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host-Induced Gene Silencing of the Target Gene in Fungal Cells Confers Effective Resistance to the Cotton Wilt Disease Pathogen Verticillium dahliae
TL;DR: The presence of V. dahliae in soil naturally leads to the colonization of vascular tissues, from the parasitic to saprophytic phase, when mycelia and melanized dormancy microsclerotia are produced in the infected cotton, resulting in vessel blockage and cotton wilt disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deacetylation of chitin oligomers increases virulence in soil-borne fungal pathogens.
Feng Gao,Feng Gao,Bo-Sen Zhang,Bo-Sen Zhang,Jianhua Zhao,Jia-Feng Huang,Pei-Song Jia,Sheng Wang,Jie Zhang,Jianmin Zhou,Hui-Shan Guo +10 more
TL;DR: A secretory polysaccharide deacetylase (PDA1) from the soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae is identified that facilitates virulence through direct de acetylation of chitin oligomers whose N-acetyl group contributes to host lysine motif (LysM)-containing receptor perception for ligand-triggered immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trans-Kingdom RNA Silencing in Plant-Fungal Pathogen Interactions.
TL;DR: This review summarizes and discusses recent important findings regarding trans-kingdom sRNAs and RNA silencing in plant-fungal pathogen interactions compared with the well-known RNAi mechanisms in plants and fungi and proposes an ideal research system exploiting plant vasculature-Verticillium interaction to further study trans-Kingdom RNAsilencing.
