Pythium Spp. and Fusarium Graminearum and Their Management Through Host Resistance The Soybean Seedling Disease Complex: Pythium spp. and Fusarium graminearum and their Management through Host Resistance DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Margaret Lee Ellis, M.S. Graduate Program in Plant Pathology The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Anne E. Dorrance, Advisor Dr. Pierce A. Paul, Advisor Dr. M.A. Rouf Mian Dr. Thomas K. Mitchell Copyrighted by Margaret Lee Ellis 2011 Abstract Seedling diseases in soybean fields in Ohio have increased over the past decade. This study was conducted to better characterize some of these seedling pathogens, specifically Fusarium graminearum and two new pathogenic species of Pythium, as well as evaluate management strategies, particularly host resistance, for F. graminearum and Pythium irregulare. A rolled towel assay was developed to understand the potential impact of F. graminearum as a soybean pathogen by evaluating the effect of inoculum density, temperature parameters, and fungicide seed treatments on disease development. Inoculum concentrations of 2.5 × 104 macroconidia/ml or higher were necessary for disease development at temperatures 18 to 25oC, indicating that high levels of inoculum may be necessary for disease to occur. Seed treated with captan at 61.9 g a.i. or fludioxonil at 2.5 or 5.0 g a.i. per 100 kg developed smaller lesions than other seed treatments and the non- treated control. The rolled towel assay was used to screen 24 soybean genotypes for resistance to F. graminearum. Five genotypes had high levels of resistance to F. graminearum, including the cultivar Conrad, a major source of partial resistance to Phytophthora sojae. A population of 262 F6:8 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from a cross of Conrad x Sloan (Susceptible) was evaluated for resistance and segregated as a quantitative trait. Four putative quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified from Conrad on chromosomes 8, 13, 15, and 16, and one putative QTL from Sloan on ii chromosome 19. The putative QTLs identified in this population did not map to the same regions that confer resistance to Ph. sojae, suggesting different mechanisms are required for these two seedling pathogens. In this study, two new species of Pythium, P. schmitthenneri and P. selbyi, were described using morphology and sequence analysis of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region. These new species were recovered from 30% of fields surveyed which was focused on the identification of seedling pathogens; they are both pathogens to corn and soybean. Pythium irregulare is one of the most widespread Pythium species in Ohio soybean fields and has very high levels of pathogenicity. In a greenhouse assay, 105 soybean genotypes were evaluated for resistance to two isolates of P. irregulare. Isolate x genotype interaction for root weight and rot root score was not significant. The plant introduction (PI) 424354 had high levels of resistance to P. irregulare. Two BC1F2:3 populations were used to map the resistance including: 192 lines of OHS 303 (moderately susceptible) x (Williams (susceptible) x PI 424354) and 127 lines of Dennison (moderately susceptible) x (Williams x PI 424354). Both populations fit the model for quantitative resistance based on root weight and root rot score. Putative QTL were identified on chromosomes 1, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, and 20. These results suggest PI 424354 can be an important source of partial resistance in developing germplasm for breeding new cultivars with more durable resistance to P. irregulare. iii Dedication I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my loving family, especially my father Mark Lee Ellis, mother Deborah Lynn Ellis, and my sister Elizabeth Stewart Ellis.

Abstract Oomycetes are eukaryote pathogens able to infect plants and animals. During host interaction, oomycetes secrete various molecules, named effectors, to counteract plant defence and modulate plant immunity. Two different classes of cytoplasmic effectors have been described to date, Crinklers (CRNs) and RxLR proteins. The translocation process allowing the entrance into the host cells is still unclear, and while extended research gave insight into some molecular targets and role during infection, most of effectors have not been characterized. In the root rot pathogen of legumes Aphanomyces euteiches, only the CRNs are present. Based on a previous study reported by our research group, we published an opinion paper focused on the emergence of DNA damaging effectors and their role during infection.

Cano5, Jean-Marc Aury6, Julie Guy6, Patrick Wincker7, Olivier Bouchez8, Christophe Klopp9 and Bernard Dumas1 Abstract Background: Oomycetes are a group of filamentous eukaryotic microorganisms that have colonized all terrestrial and oceanic ecosystems, and they include prominent plant pathogens. The Aphanomyces genus is unique in its ability to infect both plant and animal species, and as such exemplifies oomycete versatility in adapting to different hosts and environments. Dissecting the underpinnings of oomycete diversity provides insights into their specificity and pathogenic mechanisms. Results: By carrying out genomic analyses of the plant pathogen A. euteiches and the crustacean pathogen A. astaci, we show that host specialization is correlated with specialized secretomes that are adapted to the deconstruction of the plant cell wall in A. euteiches and protein degradation in A. astaci.TheA. euteiches genome is characterized by a large repertoire of small secreted protein (SSP)-encoding genes that are highly induced during plant infection, and are not detected in other oomycetes. Functional analysis revealed an SSP from A. euteiches containing a predicted nuclear- localization signal which shuttles to the plant nucleus and increases plant susceptibility to infection. Conclusion: Collectively, our results show that Aphanomyces host adaptation is associated with evolution of specialized secretomes and identify SSPs as a new class of putative oomycete effectors.

  • Production of Protease Isozymes by Aphanomyces Cochlioides and Aphanomyces Euteiches*
    Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology 65 (2004) 225–233 www.elsevier.com/locate/pmpp Production of protease isozymes by Aphanomyces cochlioides and Aphanomyces euteiches* John J. Weiland* USDA-Agricultural Research Service, Red River Valley Agricultural Research Center, Fargo, 58105 ND, USA Accepted 11 February 2005 Abstract The production of protease activity by the sugarbeet pathogen Aphanomyces cochlioides, the legume pathogen A. euteiches, and the fish pathogen Saprolegnia parasitica was examined. Protease activity was readily detected in supernatants of water cultures of each organism using autoclaved host tissue as a nutrient source. Most of the protease isozymes extracted from sugarbeet and pea seedlings infected with A. cochlioides and A. euteiches, respectively, co-migrated with enzymes produced by the pathogens in culture. In inoculated sugarbeet seedlings, the protease activities were detected prior to or concommitent with the onset of disease symptoms and the activities were capable of digesting protein extracted from sugarbeet hypocotyls. Use of class-specific inhibitors indicated that a portion of the protease activity was of the trypsin-class. Trypsin-like isozymes that possessed a relatively fast electrophoretic migration were detected in the A. cochlioides, A. euteiches, and S. parasitica protease complements, whereas the remaining isozymes were not affected by any of the inhibitors tested. Proteinaceous trypsin inhibitors from the legumes lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) and soybean (Glycine max) inhibited the trypsin-like isozymes from A. cochlioides, but not A. euteiches, whereas low molecular weight, synthetic trypsin inhibitors inhibited these isozymes from both pathogen sources. The potential role of protease inhibition in determining host range in phytopathogenic Aphanomyces species is discussed.

    CHAPTER 41 Aphanomyces de Bary Jahrb. Wiss. Bot. 2:178. 1860 Hydatinophagus Valkanov, Jahrb. Univ. Sofia 27:215. 1931. Monoecious. Mycelium consisting of slender, delicate, branched hyphae. Sporangium filamentous, of same diameter as vegetative hyphae; renewed occasionally from lateral branching below a terminal one. Spores dimorphic. Primary spores arranged in a single row in the sporangium; emerging as elongate cells, often connected tenuously by a thin, hyaline, cytoplasmic strand at each end; encysting in a spherical or irregular mass at the terminal exit orifice of the sporangium; releasing the secondary planont through a pore, a papilla, or in a schistose fashion. Secondary spore laterally biflagellate, reniform. Gemmae absent. Oogonia lateral, terminal, or intercalary; usually spherical or subspherical. Oogonial wall unpitted; smooth or ornamented on the outer surface, and smooth or irregular on the inner. Oogonial stalks of various lengths, branched or unbranched. Oospores at maturity containing a single, conspicuous, centric or subcentric refractive globule surrounded by cytoplasm; single, and filling the oogonium or not; germinating to form mycelium directly, or producing a germ tube bearing a terminal, filamentous sporangium. Antheridial branches, when present, androgynous, monoclinous, or diclinous. Antheridial cells, when produced, tubular, or clavate to subglobose; attached laterally or apically. Lectotype: Aphanomyces stellatus de Bary, Jahrb. Wiss. Bot., 2:178, pl. 19. 1860. De Bary (1860) did not designate a type species for the genus, and so far as we are aware, the first to do so were Coker and Matthews (1937). They selected Aphanomyces stellatus, and were followed in this by Scott (1961a) and Sparrow (1960). As there are no specimens of Aphanomyces in the de Bary collections deposited in the British Museum (Natural History), a holotype cannot now be specified.
