Faris Dr. Phillip E. McClean Dr. Timothy L. Friesen Approved: November 7, 2018 Jack Rasmussen Date Department Chair ABSTRACT Tan spot of wheat, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is an economically important disease worldwide. The disease system is known to involve three pairs of interactions between fungal-produced necrotrophic effectors (NEs) and the wheat sensitivity genes, namely Ptr ToxA- Tsn1, Ptr ToxB-Tsc2 and Ptr ToxC-Tsc1, all of which result in susceptibility. Many lines of evidence also suggested the involvement of additional fungal virulence and host resistance factors. Due to the non-proteinaceous nature, Ptr ToxC, has not been purified and the fungal gene (s) controlling Ptr ToxC production is unknown. The objective for the first part of research is to map the fungal gene (s) controlling Ptr ToxC production. Therefore, A bi-parental fungal population segregating for Ptr ToxC production was first developed from genetically modified heterothallic strains of AR CrossB10 (Ptr ToxC producer) and 86-124 (Ptr ToxC non-producer), and then was genotyped and phenotyped.

  • 2019 Abstracts
    We are delighted EDITORIAL to welcome the worldwide yeast community in Gothenburg for ICYGMB2019! The “International Yeast Conferences” started in the 1960s with a handful of delegates and since then have become THE most important event in yeast research. Now the yeast meeting to returns to Gothenburg. Many yeast researchers still remember the meeting in 2003 with over 1,100 delegates, a truly memorable event. The Life Sciences are changing, and yeast research remains at their forefront. Advancements in genome sequencing and genome editing just make yeast more exciting as model organism in basic cell biological research, genome evolution and as a tool for synthetic biology and biotechnology. One of the most important reasons for the enormous success of yeast research lies in the unique character of the international yeast research community. No other community employs such a free exchange and access to information and research tools. Nor has any other community had the ability to build – even intercontinental – consortia of critical mass to tackle large‐scale projects, such as in sequencing the first eukaryotic genome or the first comprehensive yeast knockout library. Yeast2019 is the meeting of the international yeast research community where the latest, and even unpublished results are exchanged, and new projects, alliances, and collaborations are founded. A do‐not‐miss‐event. We attempt to incorporate the present excitement in yeast research in the programme of yeast2019. We are confident that this conference will contain important news and information for all yeast researchers. Taken together, yeast2019 will provide an up‐ to‐date overview in yeast research and it will set the scene for years to come.

  • Crystal Structure of Steroid Reductase SRD5A Reveals Conserved Steroid Reduction Mechanism

Steroids with 3-oxo-Δ4 structure, such as testosterone or progesterone, are catalyzed by steroid 5α-reductases (SRD5As) to generate their corresponding 3-oxo-5α steroids, which are essential for multiple physiological and pathological processes. SRD5A2 is already a target of clinically relevant drugs. However, the detailed mechanism of SRD5A- mediated reduction remains elusive. Here we report the crystal structure of PbSRD5A from Proteobacteria bacterium, a homolog of both SRD5A1 and SRD5A2, in complex with the cofactor NADPH at 2.0 Å resolution. PbSRD5A exists as a monomer comprised of seven transmembrane segments (TMs). The TM1-4 enclose a hydrophobic substrate binding cavity, whereas TM5-7 coordinate cofactor NADPH through extensive hydrogen bonds network. Homology-based structural models of HsSRD5A1 and -2, together with biochemical char- acterization, define the substrate binding pocket of SRD5As, explain the properties of disease-related mutants and provide an important framework for further understanding of the mechanism of NADPH mediated steroids 3-oxo-Δ4 reduction. Based on these analyses, the design of therapeutic molecules targeting SRD5As with improved specificity and therapeutic efficacy would be possible.

  • Genome-Wide Association Mapping for Resistance to Leaf Rust, Stripe Rust
    Theoretical and Applied Genetics https://doi.org/10.1007/s00122-018-3086-6 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Genome‑wide association mapping for resistance to leaf rust, stripe rust and tan spot in wheat reveals potential candidate genes Philomin Juliana1 · Ravi P. Singh2 · Pawan K. Singh2 · Jesse A. Poland3 · Gary C. Bergstrom4 · Julio Huerta‑Espino5 · Sridhar Bhavani6 · Jose Crossa2 · Mark E. Sorrells1 Received: 24 June 2017 / Accepted: 12 March 2018 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Key message Genome-wide association mapping in conjunction with population sequencing map and Ensembl plants was used to identify markers/candidate genes linked to leaf rust, stripe rust and tan spot resistance in wheat. Abstract Leaf rust (LR), stripe rust (YR) and tan spot (TS) are some of the important foliar diseases in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). To identify candidate resistance genes for these diseases in CIMMYT’s (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) International bread wheat screening nurseries, we used genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in conjunction with information from the population sequencing map and Ensembl plants. Wheat entries were genotyped using genotyping-by-sequencing and phenotyped in replicated trials. Using a mixed linear model, we observed that seedling resistance to LR was associated with 12 markers on chromosomes 1DS, 2AS, 2BL, 3B, 4AL, 6AS and 6AL, and seedling resistance to TS was associated with 14 markers on chromosomes 1AS, 2AL, 2BL, 3AS, 3AL, 3B, 6AS and 6AL. Seed- ling and adult plant resistance (APR) to YR were associated with several markers at the distal end of chromosome 2AS. In addition, YR APR was also associated with markers on chromosomes 2DL, 3B and 7DS.

  • ABSTRACT KALMAR, JACLYN. Development of Innovative
    ABSTRACT KALMAR, JACLYN. Development of Innovative Strategies for the Analyses of Complex Biological Systems Using Mass Spectrometry. (Under the direction of Dr. David C. Muddiman). Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical tool due to its versatility, specificity, and sensitivity. MS has allowed for the proliferation in collection of molecular level –omics data, which, in turn, has provided deep insights into various complex biological systems. This work discusses new strategies for the analysis of biological molecules thought be involved in the pathogenicity of Rice blast disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Infrared Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Electrospray Ionization (IR-MALDESI) mass spectrometry imaging was used to identify meta-metabolomic features of Magnaporthe oryzae infected barley leaves. Three separate sets of barley were inoculated with Wild type (WT) M. oryzae, an F-box E3 ligase protein knock out (E3 ligase KO) M. oryzae, or a control solution. Over the course of the infection, each treatment was imaged using an advanced polarity switching method, allowing the detection of low and high molecular weight compounds that ionize in positive or negative polarities. Serotonin, a barley defense metabolite, was putatively identified using MS1 data then confirmed with tandem mass spectrometry fragmentation patterns. Metabolites in the melanin pathway, important for infection development of M. oryzae, were also identified using MS1 data but were unable to be confirmed due to their low abundances. Molecules related to the pathogenicity of the fungus were only found in the samples treated with the wild type M. oryzae where those treated with the genetically modified version displayed no metabolic changes related to a fungal infection.
