WRKY11 up-regulated dirigent expression to enhance lignin/lignans accumulation in Lilium regale Wilson during response to Fusarium wilt

Lilium are highly economically valuable ornamental plants that are susceptible to Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum.Lilium regale Wilson,a wild lily native to China,is highly resistant to F.oxysporum.In this study,a WRKY transcription factor,WRKY11,was isolated from L.regale,and its function during the interaction between L.regale and F.oxysporum was characterized.The ectopic expression of LrWRKY11 in tobacco increased the resistance to F oxysporum,moreover,the transcriptome sequencing and UHPLC-MS/MS analysis indicated that the methyl salicylate and methyl jasmonate levels rose in LrWRKY11 transgenic tobacco,meanwhile,the expression of lignin/lignans biosynthesis-related genes including a dirigent(DiR)was up-regulated.The lignin/lignans contents in LrWRKY11-transgenic tobacco also significantly increased compared with the wild-type tobacco.In addition,the resistance of L.regale scales in which LrWRKY11 expression was silenced by RNAi evidently decreased,and additionally,the expression of lignin/lignans biosynthesis-related genes including LrDIR1 was significantly suppressed.Therefore,LrDIR1 and its promoter(PLrDIR1)sequence containing the W-box element were isolated from L.regale.The interaction assay indicated that LrWRKY11 specifically bound to the W-box element in PLrDIR1 and activated LrDIR1 expression.Additionally,β-glucuronidase activity in the transgenic tobacco co-expressing LrWRKY11/PLrDIR1-β-glucuronidase was higher than that in transgenic tobacco expressing PLrDIR1-β-glucuronidase alone.Furthermore,the ectopic expression of LrDIR1 in tobacco enhanced the resistance to F.oxysporum and increased the lignin/lignans accumulation.In brief,this study revealed that LrWRKY11 positively regulated L.regale resistance to F.oxysporum through interaction with salicylic acid/jasmonic acid signaling pathways and modulating LrDIR1 expression to accumulate lignin/lignans.

Biochar alleviates apple replant disease by reducing the growth of Fusarium oxysporum and regulating microbial communities

Apple replant disease(ARD)negatively affects plant growth and reduces yields in replanted orchards.In this study,biochar was applied to apple replant soil with Fusarium oxysporum.Our aim was to investigate whether biochar could promote plant growth and alleviate apple replant disease by reducing the growth of harmful soil microorganisms,changing soil microbial community structure and improving the soil environment.This experiment included five treatments:apple replant soil(CK),methyl bromide fumigation apple replant soil(FM),replant soil with biochar addition(2%),replant soil with F.oxysporum spore solution(8×10^(7)spores·mL^(-1)),and replant soil with biochar and F.oxysporum spore solution addition.Seedling biomass,the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the leaves and roots,and soil environmental variables were measured.Microbial community composition and community structure were analyzed using 16SrDNA and ITS2 gene sequencing.Biochar significantly reduced the abundance of F.oxysporum and increased soil microbial diversity and richness.Biochar also increased the soil enzyme activities(urease,invertase,neutral phosphatase,and catalase),the biomass(plant height,fresh weight,dry weight)and the activity of antioxidant enzymes(superoxide dismutase,peroxidase,and catalase).The root indexes of apple seedlings was also increased in replant soil by biochar.In sum,biochar promoted the growth of plants,improved the replant soil environment,and alleviated apple replant disease.

Fusarium wilt of banana:Current update and sustainable disease control using classical and essential oils approaches

Fusarium species were reported to produce biofilms.Biofilms are superficial societies of microbes bounded and endangered by being situated or taking place outside a cell or cells.The most destructive fungal diseases caused by phytopathogens are as a result of biofilms formation.Fusarium wilt of banana(Panama disease)is caused by a soil-borne pathogen called Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cubense.Fusarium oxysporum occurs in a form of a species complex(FOSC)which encompasses a crowd of strains.Horizontal genetic factor transfer may donate to the observed assortment in pathogenic strains,while sexual reproduction is unknown in the FOSC.Fusarium wilt is a notorious disease on several crops worldwide.Yield loss caused by this pathogen is huge,and significant to destroy crop yields annually,thereby affecting the producer countries in various continents of the world.The disease is also resistant to various synthetic chemical fungicides.However,excessive use of synthetic fungicides during disease control could be lethal to humans,animals,and plants.This calls for alternative eco-friendly management of this disease by targeting the biofilms formation and finally suppressing this devastating phytopathogen.In this review,we,therefore,described the damage caused by Fusarium wilt disease,the concept of filamentous fungal biofilms,classical control strategies,sustainable disease control strategies using essential oils,and prevention and control of vegetables Fusarium wilt diseases.

Antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum of quinolizidines isolated from three controlled-growth Genisteae plants:structure-activity relationship implications

The Genisteae tribe belongs to the Fabaceae family.The wide occurrence of secondary metabolites,explicitly high-lighting the quinolizidine alkaloids(QAs),characterizes this tribe.In the present study,twenty QAs(1-20),including lupanine(1-7),sparteine(8-10),lupanine(11),cytisine and tetrahydrocytisine(12-17),and matrine(18-20)-type QAs were extracted and isolated from leaves of three species(i.e.,Lupinus polyphyllus(’rusell’hybrid),Lupinus muta-bilis,and Genista monspessulana)belonging to the Genisteae tribe.These plant sources were propagated under greenhouse conditions.The isolated compounds were elucidated by analyzing their spectroscopical data(MS,NMR).The antifungal effect on the mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum(Fox)of each isolated QA was then evaluated through the amended medium assay.The best antifungal activity was found to be for compounds 8(IC_(50)=16.5μM),9(IC_(50)=7.2μM),12(IC_(50)=11.3μM),and 18(IC_(50)=12.3μM).The inhibitory data suggest that some QAs could effi-ciently inhibit Fox mycelium growth depending on particular structural requirements deduced from structure-activity relationship scrutinies.The identified quinolizidine-related moieties can be involved in lead structures to develop further antifungal bioactives against Fox.

Production profile and comparison analysis of main toxin components of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.sesami isolates with different pathogenicity levels

Fusarium wilt is a common fungal disease in sesame caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.sesami(FOS).To determine the toxin production profiles of the FOS isolates with different pathogenicity levels under various culture conditions,we assessed the content variation of fusaric acid(FA)and 9,10-dehydrofusaric acid(9,10-DFA)produced by the four representative FOS isolates.Results indicated that the concentration of FA reached to a maximum of 2848.66μg/mL in Czapek medium,while 9,10-DFA was mainly produced in Richard and Lowcarbon Richard medium.The concentration of 9,10-DFA on Richard culture medium varied from 0μg/mL to 716.89μg/mL.Of the five culture media used in this study,Czapek culture medium was the most conductive to produce FA.FA production was significantly affected by culture medium,culture time,and their interactions.Results suggest that there is no correlation between toxin production and pathogenicity level of FOS isolates.These findings provide key information for the mechanism analysis of FOS-sesame interaction and pathogen control.

The identification and pathogenicity of Fusarium oxysporum causing acacia seedling wilt disease

Wilt disease with unknown etiology causes mass mortality in commercial Acacia mangium nurseries in South Sumatra.This pathogen induces symptoms of chlorosis in the lower leaves and develops into the shoots;subsequently,the plants wither and die.This research identifies the path-ogenic species causing this wilt disease and to assess its pathogenicity or virulence.Fifteen isolates of Fusarium oxysporum with varying colony sizes and color pigments were recovered from symptomatic A.mangium seedlings.The pathogenicity test showed that all isolates could infect plants with wilt severity reaching 80%,and the pathogen was verified as causing vascular disease.Koch’s postulate was verified by re-isolating the F.oxysporum isolates.The pathogen was confirmed by observing the morphological characters and elongation factor 1-α(tef1-α)gene sequences as F.oxysporum.

Gene Expression Profiling during Wilting in Chickpea Caused by <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i>F. sp. <i>Ciceri</i>

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri (Foc), one of the most important fungal pathogen of chickpea, is a constant threat to this crop plant. In the present study gene expression analysis of chickpea roots during Foc infection was performed using various approaches. cDNAs derived from total mRNA during infection process of susceptible (JG62)and resistant (Digvijay) cultivars, were amplified using random oligonucleotides. Sequence characterization of differentially expressed transcripts revealed their homology with many plant genes essential for various metabolic functions including defense. Further, expression patterns of specific candidate gene transcripts were analyzed in the Foc inoculated and uninoculated resistant and susceptible chickpea cultivars, on day 6 of infection. Semiquantitative RT-PCR analysis of defense related genes was performed using gene specific oligonucleotides in resistant and susceptible chickpea cultivars. The expression of fungal pathogenesis related genes and their race specific response was determined throughout the course of chickpea-Foc interaction. Temporal expression and race specific response of plant defense related and fungal virulence genes were studied in the resistant and susceptible cultivars of chickpea inoculated with three races of Foc highlighting the host-pathogen interactions. Few genes, involved in chickpea defense against Fusarium wilt which were not reported previously were unveiled in this study.

Status of Root-Knot Nematode (<i>Meloidogyne</i>Species) and Fusarium Wilt (<i>Fusarium oxysporum</i>) Disease Complex on Tomato (<i>Solanum lycopersicum</i>L.) in the Central Rift Valley, Ethiopia

Development of diseases in cultivated crops depends on the complex interrelationship among host, pathogen and prevailing environmental conditions. In nature, plants are rarely, if ever, subject to the influence of only one potential pathogen and this is especially true of soil-borne pathogens like fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum). In the present study, the co-occurrence of root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne species) and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici was surveyed in the main tomato growing areas of the central rift valley of Ethiopia. Mineral and organic samples were collected from 59 farmlands representing five districts and two commercial farms during the main cropping season of 2017. Cultural, morphological and virulence analysis of these pathogens revealed their co-existence. Out of 59 samples, 39% were found infected with the disease complex [Meloilodogyne species.* Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopesici (FOL)]. Off which, 16.9% and 6.8% resulted from concomitant infection of Meloidogyne incognita* FOL and Meloidogyne javanica* FOL, respectively. The percent prevalence of the disease complex ranged between 27.3% and 60%. The co-occurrence of these pathogens within a single host plant within the same ecological niche will indicate the probability of any type of interaction between each other. Therefore, subsequent research studies on their nature of interaction should be done in the future.
