The Phytophthora Cactorum Genome Provides Insights Into The
www.nature.com/scientificreports Corrected: Author Correction OPEN The Phytophthora cactorum genome provides insights into the adaptation to host defense Received: 30 October 2017 Accepted: 12 April 2018 compounds and fungicides Published online: 25 April 2018 Min Yang1,2, Shengchang Duan1,3, Xinyue Mei1,2, Huichuan Huang 1,2, Wei Chen1,4, Yixiang Liu1,2, Cunwu Guo1,2, Ting Yang1,2, Wei Wei1,2, Xili Liu5, Xiahong He1,2, Yang Dong1,4 & Shusheng Zhu1,2 Phytophthora cactorum is a homothallic oomycete pathogen, which has a wide host range and high capability to adapt to host defense compounds and fungicides. Here we report the 121.5 Mb genome assembly of the P. cactorum using the third-generation single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing technology. It is the second largest genome sequenced so far in the Phytophthora genera, which contains 27,981 protein-coding genes. Comparison with other Phytophthora genomes showed that P. cactorum had a closer relationship with P. parasitica, P. infestans and P. capsici. P. cactorum has similar gene families in the secondary metabolism and pathogenicity-related efector proteins compared with other oomycete species, but specifc gene families associated with detoxifcation enzymes and carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) underwent expansion in P. cactorum. P. cactorum had a higher utilization and detoxifcation ability against ginsenosides–a group of defense compounds from Panax notoginseng–compared with the narrow host pathogen P. sojae. The elevated expression levels of detoxifcation enzymes and hydrolase activity-associated genes after exposure to ginsenosides further supported that the high detoxifcation and utilization ability of P. cactorum play a crucial role in the rapid adaptability of the pathogen to host plant defense compounds and fungicides. -

A. Saghai Maroof, Committee Chair John M.

Merr., is the second most valuable crop in the United States. Soybeans account for 57% of the world oil-seed production and are utilized as a protein source in products such as animal feed. The value of a soybean crop, measured in seed quality and quantity, is negatively affected by biotic and abiotic stresses. This research is focused on resistance to biotic disease stress in soybean. In particular, we are working on the Phytophthora soja (P. sojae) and Soybean Mosaic Virus (SMV) systems. For each of these diseases, we are working to develop superior soybean germplasm that is resistant to the devastating economic impacts of pathogens. The majority of this research is focused on screening for novel sources of P. sojae resistance with core effectors to identify resistance genes (R-genes) that will be durable under field conditions. Four segregating populations and two recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations have been screened with core effectors. -

Phytophthora Palmivora–Cocoa Interaction

It infects many parts of the cocoa plant including the pods, causing black pod rot disease. This review will focus on P. palmivora’s ability to infect a plant host to cause disease. We highlight some current findings in other Phytophthora sp. plant model systems demonstrating how the germ tube, the appressorium and the haustorium enable the plant pathogen to penetrate a plant cell and how they contribute to the disease development in planta. This review explores the molecular exchange between the oomycete and the plant host, and the role of plant immunity during the development of such structures, to understand the infection of cocoa pods by P. palmivora isolates from Papua New Guinea. Keywords: black pod rot; Oomycota; Theobroma cacao L.; infection; stem canker 1. Introduction Within the order Peronosporales, the largest genus with over 120 described species, Phytophthora is a hemibiotrophic phytogen capable of infecting a wide range of hosts, including many agricultural crops, worldwide [1,2]. One of the most economically important and delicious crops affected is cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.). -

Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase2.1 Contributes to the Soybean
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase2.1 contributes to the soybean response towards Phytophthora Received: 29 December 2016 Accepted: 16 June 2017 sojae infection Published: xx xx xxxx Chuanzhong Zhang1, Xin Wang1,2, Feng Zhang3, Lidong Dong1, Junjiang Wu4, Qun Cheng1, Dongyue Qi1, Xiaofei Yan1, Liangyu Jiang1, Sujie Fan1, Ninghui Li1,5, Dongmei Li1, Pengfei Xu1 & Shuzhen Zhang1 Phytophthora root and stem rot of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] caused by Phytophthora sojae is a destructive disease worldwide. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) is one of the most extensively studied enzymes related to plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the molecular mechanism of PAL in soybean in response to P. sojae is largely unclear. Here, we characterize a novel member of the soybean PAL gene family, GmPAL2.1, which is signifcantly induced by P. sojae. Overexpression and RNA interference analysis demonstrates that GmPAL2.1 enhances resistance to P. sojae in transgenic soybean plants. In addition, the PAL activity in GmPAL2.1-OX transgenic soybean is signifcantly higher than that of non-transgenic plants after infection with P. sojae, while that in GmPAL2.1-RNAi soybean plants is lower. Further analyses show that the daidzein, genistein and salicylic acid (SA) levels and the relative content of glyceollins are markedly increased in GmPAL2.1-OX transgenic soybean. Taken together, these results suggest the important role of GmPAL2.1 functioning as a positive regulator in the soybean response to P. sojae infection, possibly by enhancing the content of glyceollins, daidzein, genistein and SA. Plants have evolved multiple defense signaling pathways to respond to environment stress and pathogen attack1.
