ABSTRACT To investigate the role of thaxtomin A in the pathogenicity of Streptomyces scabies, mutants altered in thaxtomin A production were obtained by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis. Mutants of S. scabies EF-35 could be differentiated according to levels of thaxtomin production. Mutants M1, M8, and M19 produced 2 to 20 times less thaxtomin A in oat bran medium than did EF-35. M1 and M19 were deficient in tryptophan catabolism. Thaxtomin production was reduced by about 300 times in mutant M16, which was a glutamic acid auxotroph. No thaxtomin A was detected in M13 culture supernatant. This mutant had a normal growth rate, was prototrophic, and catabolized tryptophan. Pathogenicity of mutants was tested on radish and potato. Mutants M1, M8, and M19 were pathogenic but, in most cases, less virulent than EF-35. M13 and M16 were nonpathogenic. These results suggest that thaxtomin A is an important pathogenicity determinant in S. scabies. 相似文献

Ethylene has been shown to promote spore germination and hyphal growth in the phytopathogenic fungus Alternaria alternata. However, little is known about the ethylene biosynthetic pathway in this fungus. In the present study, the ethylene biosynthetic pathway in A. alternata was investigated to explore ethylene-associated virulence of this fungus. The strain A0 of A. alternata did not produce ethylene on basal medium with different possible precursors or intermediates for ethylene biosynthesis (glutamate, aspartate, 2-oxoglutarate and 1-aminocyclopropano ?1-carboxylic acid). However, ethylene production was observed when methionine was added as a precursor to the medium and was further promoted by continuous light illumination. Furthermore, addition of 2-keto-4-methylthiobutyric acid (KMBA) promoted ethylene production in the absence of methionine, indicating that the KMBA pathway was mainly responsible for ethylene biosynthesis in this fungus. The strain A0 was inoculated into grape berries to examine the effect of ethylene production on its virulence (as assessed by lesion formation at the inoculation site). The results indicated that higher ethylene production caused larger lesion formation. Similar results were also obtained when isolates of A. alternata, obtained from infected grapes, were inoculated. Thus, the present study thus demonstrated that A. alternata produces ethylene via the KMBA pathway and utilizes it for enhanced virulence expression during infection. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Common scab is a serious disease of potatoes and other root and tuber crops, affecting crop quality and market value. The disease is caused by gram positive soil bacteria in the genus Streptomyces. Disease incidence and severity vary in different locations and years; this is due in part to variation in the environment (weather) and genetic variation in potato cultivars. Little information is available on the contribution of genetic variation by the pathogen. To examine genetic diversity in different locations within the United States, streptomycetes were isolated from lesions on field-grown potatoes from six states. Isolates were classified into species based on sequence of variable regions in the 16s rRNA gene. The presence of genes associated with the recently described S. turgidiscabies pathogenicity island (PAI) was also determined. About half of the isolates belonged to S. scabies or S. europaeiscabiei based on 16s rDNA sequence, and had characteristic features of the PAI. They were found in all six states, and were pathogenic on potato and radish. The remaining isolates included pathogens and nonpathogens. They were varied in appearance, and represent several species, including one pathogenic species not previously reported. Some pathogenic isolates lacked one or more genes characteristic of the PAI, although all had genes for biosynthesis of the pathogenicity determinant thaxtomin. In this relatively small survey, regional differences in scab-causing streptomycetes were seen. This report furnishes tools and baseline data for population genetic study of scab-causing streptomycetes in the United States. 相似文献

Thaxtomins are unique 4-nitroindol-3-yl containing dioxopiperazines that cause dramatic plant cell hypertrophy and seedling stunting. This family of phytotoxins is produced by Streptomyces species that cause diseases of root and tuber crops; its members are essential for pathogenicity. The symptoms produced by thaxtomin A suggest several potential plant cell targets including the plasma membrane, various components of the cytoskeleton and the cell wall. Dramatic increases in cell volume in onion seedling hypocotyls, radish seedling hypocotyls and tobacco suspension cultures, in response to 0.05–1.0 μM thaxtomin A, suggested that this phytotoxin is interacting with one or more conserved plant cell targets. Onion root tip cells treated with thaxtomin A concentrations at or below that which inhibited onion root growth were binucleate or had abnormal cell plates. Thaxtomin A (1.0–3.0 μM) inhibited normal cell elongation of tobacco protoplasts in a manner that suggested an effect on primary cell wall development. In summary, these data suggest that thaxtomin A alters, either directly or indirectly, the deposition or composition of monocot and dicot plant cell walls in ways that affect the wall integrity and the ability of the cell to progress normally through cytokinesis. 相似文献

Streptomyces spp. are a highly diverse group of bacteria most of which are soil-inhabiting saprophytes. A few are plant pathogens that produce a family of phytotoxins called thaxtomins and cause significant economic losses, e.g., by reducing the marketability of potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum). In northern Europe, S. scabies, S. turgidiscabies and S. europaeiscabiei are the most common plant pathogenic species. In this study, a Streptomyces strain isolated from a netted scab lesion on a tuber of potato cv. Bintje in northern Sweden was identified as S. turgidiscabies but was found to differ in the genomic region carrying genes required for thaxtomin biosynthesis. Our results showed that the strain did not produce thaxtomin but rather phytotoxin fridamycin E, which is an anthraquinone novel to plant pathogenic Streptomyces spp. Fridamycin E was shown to reduce or inhibit sprouting of potato microtubers in vitro. While fridamycin E is known to have antibiotic activity against Gram-positive bacteria, the inhibitory activity of fridamycin E on plant growth is a novel finding. 相似文献

Aciculosporium take (Ascomycota; Clavicipitaceae) is a causal agent of witches' broom of
bamboo plants. The symptoms of this disease are believed to be induced by plant
hormones, particularly auxins. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was identified in
cultures of this fungus in an l-tryptophan-supplemented liquid medium.
IAA production was confirmed on 30 isolates of A. take from various
hosts and locations at levels up to 1 mg/l. The biosynthetic pathway of
IAA in A. take culture was examined by analyzing intermediate products
and by feeding experiments. The results showed that the indole-3-pyruvic acid
pathway (l-tryptophan → indole-3-pyruvic acid → indole
acetaldehyde → IAA) was the dominant pathway in A. take.

Thaxtomin A has a central and implicit role in common scab disease expression in potato. Thaxtomin A tolerance has been suggested
as a possible rapid means for screening potato germplasm for disease resistance, during breeding selections. We have tested
a range of genetically diverse cultivars with varying resistances to common scab disease in both pot and field based studies
and measured their mean necrosis response to thaxtomin A. We found no association between resistance to common scab disease
and tolerance to thaxtomin A toxicity. For example, disease resistant cultivars ‘Russet Burbank’ and ‘Atlantic’ were sensitive
and tolerant to thaxtomin A toxicity respectively. Similarly; disease susceptible cultivars ‘Bismark’ and ‘Tasman’ showed
susceptibility and tolerance to thaxtomin A. This demonstrates that whilst thaxtomin A is critical to disease expression,
reaction to this toxin is only one component influencing resistance to common scab disease and many other anatomical, physiological
or biochemical factors are critical to defence against this disease. 相似文献

The effect of natural phenolic acids from wheat bran on type B trichothecene biosynthesis by Fusarium culmorum was investigated in vitro. Durum wheat bran contained various monomeric forms of phenolic acids, with ferulic acid being the most abundant. In addition,
various oligomeric forms of ferulic acid and mainly dimeric forms were also detected. When liquid cultures of F. culmorum were supplemented with a natural wheat bran extract, trichothecene production was fully inhibited. The exact mechanism by
which toxin synthesis is repressed remains to be clarified but we showed that the phenolic acid treatment resulted in a drastic
reduction in the expression level of structural trichothecene biosynthetic genes. The inhibitory efficiency of the natural
phenolic acid extract was significantly higher than that of a reconstituted mixture containing similar concentrations of monomeric
forms. Thus, to elucidate the full repression of type B trichothecene production induced by the natural phenolic acid extract
from wheat bran, two hypotheses can be raised: (i) a synergistic impact of monomeric and dimeric forms of phenolic acids,
(ii) the occurrence of an unidentified oligomeric form able to efficiently repress toxin yield. As a first attempt to investigate
the effect of oligomeric forms, one of the most abundant dimer of ferulic acid, the 8-5′-benzofuran dimer, has been synthesized
in vitro and was shown to inhibit trichothecene biosynthesis to the same extent than the monomer of ferulic acid. 相似文献

Transgenically enhanced expression of indole-3-acetic Acid confers hypervirulence to plant pathogens
ABSTRACT Fusarium oxysporum and F. arthrosporioides, pathogenic on Orobanche aegyptiaca, were transformed with two genes of the indole-3-acetamide (IAM) pathway leading to indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) to attempt to enhance virulence. Transgenic F. oxysporum lines containing both the tryptophan-2-monooxyngenase (iaaM) and indole-3-acetamide hydrolase (iaaH) genes produced significantly more IAA than the wild type. IAM accumulated in culture extracts of F. oxysporum containing iaaM alone. F. arthrosporioides containing only iaaM accumulated IAM and an unidentified indole. Some transformants of F. oxysporum expressing only the iaaM gene also produced more IAA than the wild type. Sub-threshold levels (that barely infect Orobanche) of transgenic F. oxysporum expressing both genes and of F. arthrosporioides expressing iaaM were more effective in suppressing the number and size of Orobanche shoots than the wild type on tomato plants grown in soil mixed with Orobanche seed. Stimulating an auxin imbalance enhanced pathogen virulence by affecting the host in a manner similar to low doses of auxin herbicides such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid. 相似文献

Different protein fractions precipitated with ammonium sulphate from extracts of healthy andFusarium-infected tomato plants showed a linear relationship between polyphenoloxidase activity and ability to form indoleacetic acid (IAA) from tryptophan in the presence of chlorogenic acid. Dialysis slightly reduced polyphenoloxidase activity of as well as IAA formation by crude and purified extracts.Polyphenoloxidase as well as IAA production were partially inhibited by DIECA, EDTA, cystein and ascorbic acid. The inhibition was shown to occur in crude and purified extracts and stem slices of both healthy and diseased plants, but was consistently higher in material from diseased plants.The reported results may be considered to further confirm the strict interdependence between polyphenoloxidase activity and ability to form IAA in tomato plants. The different sensitivity to some inhibitors shown by material from healthy and from diseased plants is emphasized. 相似文献

A herbicide with a new mode of action has not been commercialized for more than 30 years. A recent paper describes a novel genomic approach to herbicide and herbicide mode of action discovery. Analysis of a microbial gene cluster revealed that it encodes genes for both the biosynthetic pathway for production of the sesquiterpene aspterric acid and an aspterric acid‐resistant form of dihydroxy acid dehydratase (DHAD), its target enzyme. Aspterric acid is weak compared with commercial synthetic herbicides, and whether DHAD is a good herbicide target is unclear from this study. Nevertheless, this genomic approach provides a novel strategy for the discovery of herbicides with new modes action. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

The phytotoxicity of the Fusarium trichothecene and fumonisin mycotoxins has led to speculation that both toxins are involved in plant pathogenesis. This subject has been addressed by examining virulence of trichothecene and fumonisin-nonproducing mutants of Fusarium in field tests. Mutants were generated by transformation-mediated disruption of genes encoding enzymes that catalyze early steps in the biosynthesis of each toxin. Two economically important species of Fusarium were selected for these studies: the trichothecene-producing species Fusarium graminearum, which causes wheat head blight and maize ear rot, and the fumonisin-producing species F. verticillioides, which causes maize ear rot. Trichothecene-non-producing mutants of F. graminearum caused less disease than the wild-type strain from which they were derived on both wheat and maize, although differences in virulence on maize were not observed under hot and dry environmental conditions. Genetic analyses of the mutants demonstrated that the reduced virulence on wheat was caused by the loss of trichothecene production rather than by a non-target mutation induced by the gene disruption procedure. Although the analyses of virulence of fumonisin-non-producing mutants of F. verticillioides are not complete, to date, the mutants have been as virulent on maize ears as their wild-type progenitor strains. The finding that trichothecene production contributes to the virulence of F. graminearum suggests that it may be possible to generate plants that are resistant to this fungus by increasing their resistance to trichothecenes. As a result, several researchers are trying to identify trichothecene resistance genes and transfer them to crop species. 相似文献

Although Aspergillus species are not usually considered as serious plant pathogens, Aspergilli are frequently encountered in plant products. The most important consequence of their presence is mycotoxin contamination. The main mycotoxins produced by Aspergilli are the aflatoxins, ochratoxin A and patulin, which are produced by a variety of Aspergillus species in different plant commodities. Phylogenetic analysis of sequences of the ribosomal RNA gene cluster is useful for clarifying taxonomic relationships among toxigenic Aspergilli causing pre- and postharvest contamination of agricultural products. Molecular data has enabled us to clarify the taxonomy of black Aspergilli, A. flavus and its relatives, and sections Circumdati and Clavati, which include ochratoxin and patulin-producing species. Phylogenetically unrelated species were found to produce the same mycotoxins, indicating that mycotoxin-producing abilities of the isolates have been lost (or gained) several times during the evolution of the genus. The data also indicate that biosynthetic gene-based probes are necessary for molecular detection of these mycotoxin-producing organisms. The organisation of the biosynthetic genes of patulin and ochratoxins is unknown, although experiments are in progress in several laboratories to clarify the genetic background of biosynthesis of these mycotoxins. Identification of biosynthetic genes responsible for mycotoxin production is essential for clarifying the evolution of mycotoxin biosynthesis in Aspergilli, and to develop specific gene probes for the detection of mycotoxin-producing Aspergilli in agricultural products. 相似文献

Laboratory experiments were conducted to compare the physiological effects of two herbicides: fluazifop-butyl {butyl ( RS )-2-[4-(5-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridyloxy)phenoxy]-propionate} and sethoxydim {(±)-2-[1-(ethoxyimino)butyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one} on oat ( Avena sativa L. cv. Zenshin). The herbicides strongly inhibited growth of oat and induced chlorosis at the basal part of shoots and ethylene production from the seedlings. The phytotoxicity of these herbicides in oat seedlings was alleviated by 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), but not by IAA (indole-3-acetic acid). Coleoptile elongation induced by 2,4-D or IAA was inhibited by fluazifop-butyl and sethoxydim, suggesting both herbicides possess the activity to inhibit this auxin action. Fluazifop (free acid) and sethoxydim inhibited proton excretion from oat roots but fluazifop-butyl did not. This proton excretion was not restored by 2,4-D or IAA. Furthermore, cellular electrolyte leakage in oat shoots was increased by both herbicides, indicating that the membrane permeability was increased. We conclude that fluazifop-butyl and sethoxydim may have the same mechanism of action which leads to disruption of membrane integrity, although fluazifop-butyl acts as a free acid after hydrolysis (fluazifop). 相似文献
