This project engaged Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) and first responders, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) to deliver on a collection of sub- projects unified by the technology of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). The objectives focused on developing innovative methods to counter threats from fungal, bacterial and nematode pathogens. The outputs covered the full spectrum of Technology Readiness Levels (TRL). For example, de novo sequencing was accomplished for some high risk microbes for which there were no genomics data available (TRL1) and some tests developed from the genomics data were used by Canadian first responders to resolve trade disputes, and were either used or are currently being evaluated by first responders in other countries (>TRL7). The genomes and transcriptomes of high risk plant and animal / human pathogens found on crop commodities and in agro-ecosystems were sequenced. DNA and RNA from multiple strains of high profile pathogenic species were processed for NGS from the following genera: Arcobacter, Ditylenchus, Globodera, Pantoea, Pectobacterium, Penicillium, Phytophthora, Puccinia, Ralstonia, Streptomyces, Synchytrium, and Tilletia. Reductions in sequencing costs over the time span of the project and an in-kind contribution for genomics and for data analysis infrastructure installed mid-project, allowed us to increase the number of strains processed for full genome sequencing to more than four times our original commitment. We also annotated the genomes of additional species that were not originally planned. Quantitative PCR, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection and microsatellite-based assays were developed for these targets. The threat from a few targeted species, namely, Ralstonia solanacearum race 3 biovar 2 (brown rot of potato), Synchytrium endobioticum (potato wart), Globodera pallida (the pale cyst nematode of potato), G. rostochiensis (the golden nematode of potato), and Ditylenchus destructor (the potato rot nematode), increased nationally during the project. Therefore, some diagnostic technologies were transferred to end users and made operational much earlier than originally planned. The project also generated universal 'DNA barcode' sequences from environmental samples using NGS. Automated bioinformatics pipelines were developed and improved for the processing of next generation genomic and metagenomic data, an added deliverable leading to higher assembly efficiency than originally expected. A total of 322 environmental samples, 30% more than planned, from cereal grains, soils from potato fields and agricultural watersheds were processed to validate the NGS approach. This project generated comprehensive sequence databases, providing an up- to-date inventory for high risk plant pathogens. It also delivered state-of-the-art diagnostic technologies and routine monitoring strategies to improve the safety and security of the Canadian food and agriculture system, to counter challenges to international trade regulations, and to benefit the agriculture industry and communities in Canada. page 3 CRTI 09-462RD / CSSP 30vv01 Agri-food pathogen detection and next-gen sequencing Résumé …..... Ce projet a amené Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada (AAC) et les premiers intervenants, soit l’Agence canadienne d’inspection des aliments (ACIA) et la Commission canadienne des grains (CCG), à réaliser une série de sous-projets reposant sur la technologie du séquençage de nouvelle génération (SNG). Les objectifs étaient axés sur la mise au point de méthodes novatrices visant à contrer les menaces posées par des champignons, des bactéries et des nématodes pathogènes. Les résultats obtenus couvrent tous les niveaux de maturité technologique (NMT). Ainsi, un séquençage de novo a été réalisé pour des microorganismes à risque élevé pour lesquels on ne disposait d’aucune donnée génomique (NMT 1). Par ailleurs, des essais mis au point à partir des données génomiques obtenues ont été utilisés par des premiers intervenants canadiens afin de résoudre des différends commerciaux, et ont été utilisés ou sont en cours d’évaluation par les premiers intervenants d’autres pays (> NMT 7). On a également séquencé les génomes et les transcriptomes d’agents pathogènes à risque élevé pour les végétaux, les animaux et les humains, trouvés dans des produits végétaux et dans des agroécosystèmes. L’ADN et l’ARN de nombreuses souches d’espèces pathogènes importantes ont été traités par SNG. Les espèces visées appartenaient aux genres suivants : Arcobacter, Ditylenchus, Globodera, Pantoea, Pectobacterium, Penicillium, Phytophthora, Puccinia, Ralstonia, Streptomyces, Synchytrium et Tilletia. Grâce à la réduction des coûts de séquençage pendant la durée du projet et à la contribution en nature liée à la génomique et au cadre d’analyse de données mis à place à mi-parcours, nous avons pu multiplier par plus de quatre le nombre de souches traitées aux fins du séquençage du génome complet par rapport à notre engagement initial. Nous avons également annoté les génomes d’espèces additionnelles qui n’étaient pas prévues au départ. Nous avons mis au point des épreuves de PCR quantitatives, de détection de SNP et de génotypage par analyse de microsatellites pour les espèces ciblées. La menace posée par certaines d’entre elles, en l’occurrence le Ralstonia solanacearum race 3 biovar 2 (pourriture

Houbraken, [email protected]; J.C. Frisvad, [email protected] Abstract: Penicillium is a diverse genus occurring worldwide and its species play important roles as decomposers of organic materials and cause destructive rots in the food industry where they produce a wide range of mycotoxins. Other species are considered enzyme factories or are common indoor air allergens. Although DNA sequences are essential for robust identification of Penicillium species, there is currently no comprehensive, verified reference database for the genus. To coincide with the move to one fungus one name in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants, the generic concept of Penicillium was re-defined to accommodate species from other genera, such as Chromocleista, Eladia, Eupenicillium, Torulomyces and Thysanophora, which together comprise a large monophyletic clade.

Abstract Introduction: Poaceous plants such as corn, wheat, barley, sorghum, oats and millet are an important part of agricultural ecosystems. Smuts are one of the most important fungal diseases of these plants, which often cause economic damage and the destruction of part or all of their yields. Materials and Methods: Poaceous smut infected plants in farms and pastures of Markazi and Lorestan provinces were sampled. Morphological characteristics of these fungi and their germination type of teliospores were studied with bright field and fluorescent microscopes and identified using valid keys. The phylogenetic relationship of these fungi with other smuts was also investigated based on ITS-rDNA region sequencing. Results: According to the type of host, morphological characteristics and mode of teliospores germination 12 species vs. U. maydis, U. hordei, U. turcomanica, U. avenae, U.nuda, U. bromivora, U. cynodontis, U. tritici, Tilletia laevis, Tilletia controversa Sporisorium reilianum and S.
