Damages caused by this pathogen in soybean and maize phaseolina; crops in Argentina during drought and hot weather have increased due its ability to survive Charcoal rot; as sclerotia in soil and crop debris under non-till practices. In this work, we explored the Corn; in vitro production of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes [pectinases (polygalacturonase and Cell wall-degrading polymethylgalacturonase); cellulases (endoglucanase); hemicellulases (endoxylanase) and the enzymes ligninolytic enzyme laccase] by several Argentinean isolates of M. phaseolina, and assessed the pathogenicity of these isolates as a preliminary step to establish the role of these enzymes in M. phaseolina---maize interaction. The isolates were grown in liquid synthetic medium supple- mented with glucose, pectin, carboxymethylcellulose or xylan as carbon sources and/or enzyme inducers and glutamic acid as nitrogen source. Pectinases were the first cell wall-degrading enzymes detected and the activities obtained (polygalacturonase activity was between 0.4 and 1.3 U/ml and polymethylgalacturonase between 0.15 and 1.3 U/ml) were higher than those of cellulases and xylanases, which appeared later and in a lesser magnitude. This sequence would promote initial tissue maceration fol- lowed by cell wall degradation. Laccase was detected in all the isolates evaluated (activity was between 36 U/l and 63 U/l). The aggressiveness of the isolates was tested in maize, sunflower and watermelon seeds, being high on all the plants assayed. This study reports for the first time the potential of different isolates of M. phaseolina to produce plant cell wall-degrading enzymes in submerged fermentation. © 2016 Asociacion´ Argentina de Microbiolog´ıa.

Los danos˜ que genera en cultivos de soja y maíz bajo siembra directa en Argentina, Enzimas en períodos secos y calurosos, se incrementaron por su habilidad para sobrevivir como escle- rocios en suelos y restos de cosecha. El propósito del trabajo fue estudiar la producción degradadoras de in vitro de enzimas degradadoras de pared celular vegetal (pectinasas [poligalacturonasa y pared celular vegetal polimetilgalacturonasa]; celulasas [endoglucanasa]; hemicelulasas [endoxilanasa] y la enzima ligninolítica lacasa) de varios aislamientos argentinos de M. phaseolina y evaluar la patogeni- cidad de esos aislamientos, como paso preliminar para establecer el papel de estas enzimas en la interacción M. phaseolina-maíz. Se estudió la cinética de crecimiento del hongo y la de la producción de dichas enzimas en medios de cultivo líquidos sintéticos con ácido glutámico como fuente de nitrógeno y con pectina, carboximetilcelulosa (CMC) o xilano como fuentes de car- bono. Las pectinasas fueron las primeras enzimas detectadas y los máximos títulos registrados (1,4 UE/ml [poligalacturonasa] y 1,2 UE/ml [polimetilgalacturonasa], respectivamente) super- aron a los de celulasas y xilanasas, que aparecieron más tardíamente y en menor magnitud. Esta secuencia promovería la maceración inicial del tejido, seguida luego por la degradación de la pared celular vegetal. Se detectó actividad lacasa en todos los aislamientos (36 a 63 U/l). La agresividad de todos los aislamientos resultó alta en los 3 hospedantes evaluados: semillas de maíz, de girasol y de melón. En este trabajo se investiga por primera vez el potencial de distintos aislamientos de M. phaseolina para producir enzimas degradadoras de pared celular vegetal en cultivo líquido. © 2016 Asociacion´ Argentina de Microbiolog´ıa.

Macrophomina phaseolina (Botryosphaeriaceae) is an important soil- and seed-borne pathogen. This patho- gen has a broad geographic distribution, and a large host range. The aim of the present study was to determine the genetic variation among a global set of 189 isolates of M. phaseolina, isolated from 23 hosts and 30 soil samples in 15 countries. To achieve this goal a multi-gene DNA analysis was conducted for the following five loci, ITS, TEF, ACT, CAL and TUB. Based on these results two well-defined clusters could be delineated, one corresponding to M. phaseolina s. str., for which a suitable epitype is designated. The second clade corresponds to M. pseudophaseo- lina, a novel species occurring on Abelmoschus esculentus, Arachis hypogaea, Hibiscus sabdarifa and Vigna unguiculata in Senegal. No consistent correlation was found among genotype, host and geographic location, and both species could even occur on the same host at the same location.

    Dissecting the molecular responses of Sorghum bicolor to Macrophomina phaseolina infection by Y. M. Ananda Yapa Bandara B.S., University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, 2008 M.S., University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, 2010 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Plant Pathology College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2017 Abstract Charcoal rot, caused by the necrotrophic fungus, Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid., is an important disease in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench). The molecular interactions between sorghum and M. phaseolina are poorly understood. In this study, a large-scale RNA-Seq experiment and four follow-up functional experiments were conducted to understand the molecular basis of charcoal rot resistance and/or susceptibility in sorghum. In the first experiment, stalk mRNA was extracted from charcoal-rot-resistant (SC599) and susceptible (Tx7000) genotypes and subjected to RNA sequencing. Upon M. phaseolina inoculation, 8560 genes were differentially expressed between the two genotypes, out of which 2053 were components of 200 known metabolic pathways. Many of these pathways were significantly up-regulated in the susceptible genotype and are thought to contribute to enhanced pathogen nutrition and virulence, impeded host basal immunity, and reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen species (RNS)-mediated host cell death. The paradoxical hormonal regulation observed in pathogen-inoculated Tx7000 was characterized by strongly upregulated salicylic acid and down-regulated jasmonic acid pathways. These findings provided useful insights into induced host susceptibility in response to this necrotrophic fungus at the whole-genome scale. The second experiment was conducted to investigate the dynamics of host oxidative stress under pathogen infection.

Neofusicoccum is well-known for the diseases it causes on economically and ecologically relevant host plants. In particular, members of this genus are responsible for grapevine diseases, such as leaf spots, fruit rots, shoot dieback, bud necrosis, vascular discoloration of the wood, and perennial cankers. Many secondary metabolites, including (−)-botryoisocoumarin A, botryosphaerones, cyclobotryoxide and isosclerone, were identified from species of Neofusicoccum and their structural variability and bioactivities might be associated with the role of these compounds in the fungal pathogenicity and virulence. In this review, we summarize the secondary metabolites from Neofusicoccum species focusing on the role of these compounds in the interaction between the fungus

    Review What Do We Know about Botryosphaeriaceae? An Overview of a Worldwide Cured Dataset Eduardo Batista , Anabela Lopes and Artur Alves * CESAM, Departamento de Biologia, Universidade de Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal; [email protected] (E.B.); [email protected] (A.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Botryosphaeriaceae-related diseases occur worldwide in a wide variety of plant hosts. The number of studies targeting the distribution, diversity, ecology, and pathogenicity of Botryosphaeri- aceae species are consistently increasing. However, with the lack of consistency in species delimita- tion, the name of hosts, and the locations of studies, it is almost impossible to quantify the presence of these species worldwide, or the number of different host–fungus interactions that occur. In this re- view, we collected and organized Botryosphaeriaceae occurrences in a single cured dataset, allowing us to obtain for the first time a complete perspective on species’ global diversity, dispersion, host association, ecological niches, pathogenicity, communication efficiency of new occurrences, and new host–fungus associations. This dataset is freely available through an interactive and online applica- tion. The current release (version 1.0) contains 14,405 cured isolates and 2989 literature references of 12,121 different host–fungus interactions with 1692 different plant species from 149 countries.

To evaluate the degree of subdivision in populations of M. phaseolina in Kansas agriculture and wildlands, we compared 143 isolates from maize fields adjacent to tallgrass prairie, nearby sorghum fields, widely dispersed soybean fields and isolates from eight plant species in tallgrass prairie. Isolate growth phenotypes were evaluated on a medium containing chlorate. Genetic characteristics were analysed based on amplified fragment length polymorphisms and the sequence of the rDNA-internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. The average genetic similarity was 58% among isolates in the tallgrass prairie, 71% in the maize fields, 75% in the sorghum fields and 80% in the dispersed soybean fields. The isolates were divided into four clusters: one containing most of the isolates from maize and soybean, two others containing isolates from wild plants and sorghum, and a fourth containing a single isolate recovered from Solidago canadensis in the tallgrass prairie. Most of the sorghum isolates had the dense phenotype on media containing chlorate, while those from other hosts had either feathery or restricted phenotypes.

Botryosphaeria species are difficult to differentiate due to the overlapping morphological characteristics and the molecular data analyses are necessary recently when species identification is carried out. In this study, 28 Botryosphaeria isolates were obtained from decaying woody hosts in six nature reserves in Guizhou province, China.

Many are also known to exist as endophytes in healthy plant Received in revised form tissues. This special issue highlights a number of key themes in the study of this group of 23 February 2017 fungi. In particular, there have been dramatic taxonomic changes over the past decade; Accepted 24 February 2017 from one family to nine (including two in this special issue) and from 10 to 33 genera Available online 27 February 2017 known from culture. It is also clear from many studies that neither morphology nor single Corresponding Editor: locus sequence data are sufficient to define taxa. This problem is exacerbated by the in- Pedro W. Crous creasing recognition of cryptic species and hybrids (as highlighted for the first time in this special issue). It is futile that management strategies, including quarantine, continue Keywords: to rely on outdated taxonomic definitions and identification tools. This is especially true in Dothideomycetes light of growing evidence that many species continue to be moved globally as endophytes Endophyte in plants and plant products.
