Development of PCR assays to Tri7 and Tri13 trichothecene biosynthetic genes, and characterisation of chemotypes of Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium culmorum and Fusarium cerealis

Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium culmorum and Fusarium cerealis are major causal agents of Fusarium Head Blight (scab) which is a disease of global significance in all cereal growing areas. These fungi produce trichothecene mycotoxins, principally nivalenol (NIV) and deoxynivalenol (DON). Genes Tri13 and Tri7 from the trichothecene biosynthetic gene cluster convert DON to NIV (Tri13) and NIV to 4-acetyl-NIV (Tri7). We have developed positive–negative PCR assays based on these two genes, which accurately indicate a DON or NIV chemotype in F. graminearum, F. culmorum and F. cerealis. These assays are useful in assessing the risk of trichothecene contamination, and can be informative in epidemiological studies. All NIV chemotype isolates studied have functional copies of both Tri13 and Tri7, and all DON-producing isolates have both genes disrupted or deleted. We have identified several mutations in these genes, which are conserved across F. graminearum lineage, RAPD and SCAR groupings and between the three species. There appears to be evidence of inter-species hybridisation within the trichothecene biosynthetic gene cluster.     

Ultrastructural and immunocytochemical investigation of pathogen development and host responses in resistant and susceptible wheat spikes infected by Fusarium culmorum

Pathogen development and host responses in wheat spikes of resistant and susceptible cultivars infected by Fusarium culmorum causing Fusarium head blight (FHB), were investigated by means of electron microscopy as well as immunogold labelling techniques. The studies revealed similarities in the infection process and the initial spreading of the pathogen in wheat spikes between resistant and susceptible cultivars. However, the pathogen’s development was obviously more slow in the resistant cultivars as in comparison to a susceptible one. The structural defence reactions such as the formation of thick layered appositions and large papillae were essentially more pronounced in the infected host tissues of the resistant cultivars, than in the susceptible one. β -1,3-glucan was detected in the appositions and papillae. Furthermore, immunogold labelling of lignin demonstrated that there were no differences in the lignin contents of the wheat spikes between susceptible and resistant cultivars regarding the uninoculated healthy tissue, but densities of lignin in host cell walls of the infected wheat spikes differed distinctly between resistant and susceptible cultivars. The lignin content in the cell walls of the infected tissues of the susceptible wheat cultivar increased slightly, while the lignin accumulated intensely in the host cell walls of the infected wheat spikes of the resistant cultivars. These findings indicate that lignin accumulation in the infected wheat spikes may play an important role in resistance to the spreading of the pathogen in the host tissues. Immunogold labelling of the Fusarium toxin DON in the infected lemma showed the same labelling patterns in the host tissues of resistant and susceptible cultivars. However, there were distinct differences in the toxin concentration between the tissues of the susceptible and resistant cultivars. At the early stage of infection, the labelling densities for DON in resistant cultivars were significantly lower than those in the susceptible one. The present study indicates that the FHB resistant cultivars are able to develop active defence reactions during infection and spreading of the pathogen in the host tissues. The lower accumulation of the toxin DON in the tissues of the infected spikes of resistant cultivars which results from the host’s defence mechanisms may allow more intensive defence responses to the pathogen by the host.

Defense strategies of pea embryo axes with different levels of sucrose to Fusarium oxysporum and Ascochyta pisi

The aim of this study was to compare the defense responses of embryo axes of Pisum sativum L. cv. Kwestor with different sucrose levels to pathogenic fungi, i.e. systemic acting Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi and locally acting Ascochyta pisi. Embryo axes were cultured on Heller medium for 96 h. Four variants were compared: these included inoculated embryo axes cultured with or without 60 mM sucrose (+Si and −Si) and non-inoculated embryo axes cultured with or without 60 mM sucrose (+Sn and −Sn). After inoculation of the pea embryo axes with pathogenic fungi a generally higher concentration of free radicals was detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), in comparison to non-inoculated embryo axes. The inoculation with F. oxysporum caused stronger generation of free radicals in −Si than in +Si embryo axes. A different response was observed after inoculation with A. pisi; starting from 48 h, the concentration of free radicals in +Si axes was found to be 1.5 times higher than in −Si embryo axes. The values of spectroscopic splitting coefficients for these radicals suggest that they are semiquinone radicals. The EPR method also revealed Mn²⁺ ion accumulation after 24 h of culture. Over time, high levels of these ions were recorded in +Si embryo axes inoculated with F. oxysporum, while in +Si embryo axes inoculated with A. pisi they decreased. Up to 48 h after inoculation with the pathogenic fungi, Mn²⁺ ion levels were higher in +Si embryo axes than in +Sn axes. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1) increased in +Si embryo axes up to 72 h after inoculation with pathogenic fungi; however, it was generally lower than in +Sn axes. Catalase activity (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) increased up to 72 h after inoculation with F. oxysporum and the values were higher than in the non-inoculated tissue. Especially high activity of this enzyme was noted in −Si embryo axes after inoculation with either F. oxysporum or A. pisi. Peroxidase activity (POX, EC 1.11.1.7) towards pyrogallol in embryo axes increased during culture; however, it was lower or similar to that in non-inoculated embryo axes. SOD, CAT and POX zymograms showed that the synthesis of new isoforms was induced after inoculation with pathogenic fungi. Peroxidase isozymes detected by the reaction with diaminobenzidine in native PAGE were intensely stained in +Si embryo axes after inoculation with pathogenic fungi. Respiratory activity of the inoculated tissues was considerably higher than in non-inoculated tissues. The respiration rate was generally much higher in +Si than in −Si embryo axes. Growth of −Si embryo axes was more significantly retarded as a consequence of inoculation than that of +Si embryo axes.These results indicate that, depending on the manner of influence of a pathogenic fungus, both similar and differing defensive strategies may be initiated and a raised sugar levels in pea tissues limit the development of F. oxysporum and A. pisi.

Isolation of differentially expressed genes during interactions between tomato cells and a protective or a non-protective strain of Fusarium oxysporum

Pathogenic isolates of Fusarium oxysporum applied on a non-host plant species, as soil-borne non-pathogenic isolates, are able to protect this plant against pathogenic strains inducing wilts. Several modes of action contribute to the biocontrol activity of these protective strains; however the genetic basis of the biocontrol mechanisms is far from being understood. The aim of this study was to identify genes involved in biocontrol activity of F. oxysporum using an original model made of Fom24, a strain protective on tomato and its mutant rev157 which has lost its protective capacity. A Rapid Subtractive Hybridization (RaSH) approach was chosen to identify genes up-regulated in the protective or in the non-protective interaction when germinated conidia of either Fom24 or rev157 are confronted to tomato cell cultures. A total of 86 up-regulated sequences were generated, 42 and 44 from the protective and the non-protective interaction respectively. Homology searches led to identification of both plant and fungal genes that were grouped according to their putative functions. Among plant genes, those involved in plant response to stresses were the most abundant. Expression profiles of genes homolog to a basic endochitinase, a ferredoxine-NADP(H) reductase (FNR), an ATP synthase and the RPM1-interacting protein 4 (RIN4) were confirmed by Northern blotting. A large proportion of fungal sequences were encoding genes of unknown function; among other, those involved in response to oxidative stress and a gene putatively encoding an enolase are the most promising to further study their potential role in the protective interaction between F. oxysporum and tomato.

Cultural characteristics, pathogenicity and genetic diversity of Fusarium oxysporum isolates from tobacco fields in Spain

Several formae speciales of Fusarium oxysporum are capable to produce disease in tobacco plants. Different authors have classified those isolates as a forma specialis or a race within on the basis of the severity of disease and host specificity. Fusarium wilt of tobacco plant in Extremadura (central Spain) tobacco fields have been recorded in the last years and F. oxysporum was isolated from symptomatic plants. The aim of our study was to characterize these F. oxysporum populations. For this purpose, the in vitro spore production and growth and the virulence (severity of disease) have been tested. Although all isolates behaved as pathogen, the virulence of isolates was different. The differences in growth could not be correlated with other characteristics but the two isolates with scarce spore production have also behaved as the weakest pathogen. We have analyzed intergenic spacer (IGS) region polymorphism of ribosomal DNA and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers to assess the genetic diversity within F. oxysporum isolates. These molecular analyses showed two major groups with different physiological capabilities that could reflect two different lineages. One group was characterized by medium–high sporulation, high virulence and the same IGS-RFLP pattern. The other group was more heterogeneous featuring low–medium sporulation and variable virulence and growth. This first experimental approach to pathogen population could be a good starting point for further studies including non-pathogenic isolates and a larger number of pathogen that could clarify if there are two or more genetic lineages.

Molecular characterization and in planta detection of Fusarium moniliforme endopolygalacturonase isoforms

The activation of Fusarium moniliforme endopolygalacturonase (endoPG) was studied during infection of maize plants. EndoPG is a plant cell wall degrading enzyme that cleaves the pectin component causing cell death. The authors generated several hybridoma cell lines producing endoPG specific monoclonal antibodies. One monoclonal antibody was selected and successfully used in Western blotting analysis to detect F. moniliforme endoPG secretion in vitro and in planta. Two F. moniliforme strains (FC-l0 and 62264) were used for the studies. Both strains revealed the expression of a single endoPG in vitro as in planta. EndoPG from strain FC-10 presented four isoforms whereas only two isoforms were revealed in the endoPG from strain 62264. Differences were also found in the sequences of the two endoPG genes indicating the presence of endoPG variability among F. moniliforme strains.
