Pathogenomics of fungal plant parasites: what have we learnt about pathogenesis?

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
A new insight is the presence of lineage-specific genes on mobile and partly dispensable chromosomes that are transferred intraspecifically and possibly interspecifically, thereby constituting pathogenicity and host range determinants.

Lifestyle transitions in plant pathogenic Colletotrichum fungi deciphered by genome and transcriptome analyses

Richard J. O'Connell, +71 more
- 01 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: Findings show that preinvasion perception of plant-derived signals substantially reprograms fungal gene expression and indicate previously unknown functions for particular fungal cell types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endophytic Life Strategies Decoded by Genome and Transcriptome Analyses of the Mutualistic Root Symbiont Piriformospora indica

TL;DR: The findings provide a significant advance in understanding development of biotrophic plant symbionts and suggest a series of incremental shifts along the continuum from saprotrophy towards biotrophy in the evolution of mycorrhizal association from decomposer fungi.

The genome of Nectria haematococca: contribution of supernumerary chromosomes to gene expansion

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the most extensively studied member of this complex, Nectria haematococca mating population VI (MPVI), and revealed that several genes controlling the ability of individual isolates of this species to colonize specific habitats are located on supernumerary chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Genomes of the Fungal Plant Pathogens Cladosporium fulvum and Dothistroma septosporum Reveal Adaptation to Different Hosts and Lifestyles But Also Signatures of Common Ancestry

TL;DR: Comparison of the genomes of the Dothideomycete fungal plant pathogens suggests that these closely related plant pathogens had a common ancestral host but since adapted to different hosts and lifestyles by a combination of differentiated gene content, pseudogenization, and gene regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the trail of a cereal killer: recent advances in Fusarium graminearum pathogenomics and host resistance

TL;DR: In the last few years, significant progress has been made towards a better understanding of the processes involved in F. graminearum pathogenesis, toxin biosynthesis and host resistance mechanisms through the use of high-throughput genomic and phenomic technologies.

Comparative genomics reveals mobile pathogenicity chromosomes in Fusarium

Li-Jun Ma, +65 more
- 18 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: Comparison of genomes of three phenotypically diverse Fusarium species revealed lineage-specific genomic regions in F. oxysporum that include four entire chromosomes and account for more than one-quarter of the genome, putting the evolution of fungal pathogenicity into a new perspective.

Genome sequence and analysis of the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans.

Brian J. Haas, +102 more
- 17 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: The sequence of the P. infestans genome is reported, which at ∼240 megabases (Mb) is by far the largest and most complex genome sequenced so far in the chromalveolates and probably plays a crucial part in the rapid adaptability of the pathogen to host plants and underpins its evolutionary potential.

Sugar transporters for intercellular exchange and nutrition of pathogens

TL;DR: Using optical glucose sensors, a new class of sugar transporters are identified, named SWEETs, and it is shown that at least six out of seventeen Arabidopsis, two out of over twenty rice and two of seven homologues in Caenorhabditis elegans, and the single copy human protein, mediate glucose transport.
