Fusarium oxysoporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum (Forc) is able to cause disease in cucumber, melon, and watermelon, while F. oxysporum f. sp. melonis (Fom) can only infect melon plants. Earlier research showed that mobile chromosomes in Forc and Fom determine the difference in host range between Forc and Fom. By closely comparing these pathogenicity chromosomes combined with RNA-sequencing data, we selected 11 candidate genes that we tested for involvement in the difference in host range between ...[more]

Project description:Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum (Forc) causes severe root rot and wilt in several cucurbit species, including cucumber, melon, and watermelon. Previously, a pathogenicity chromosome, chrRC , was identified in Forc. Strains that were previously nonpathogenic could infect multiple cucurbit species after obtaining this chromosome via horizontal chromosome transfer (HCT). In contrast, F. oxysporum f. sp. melonis (Fom) can only cause disease on melon plants, even though Fom contains contigs that are largely syntenic with chrRC . The aim of this study was to identify the genetic basis underlying the difference in host range between Fom and Forc. First, colonization of different cucurbit species between Forc and Fom strains showed that although Fom did not reach the upper part of cucumber or watermelon plants, it did enter the root xylem. Second, to select candidate genomic regions associated with differences in host range, high-quality genome assemblies of Fom001, Fom005, and Forc016 were compared. One of the Fom contigs that is largely syntenic and highly similar in sequence to chrRC contains the effector gene SIX6. After HCT of the SIX6-containing chromosome from Fom strains to a nonpathogenic strain, the recipient (HCT) strains caused disease on melon plants, but not on cucumber or watermelon plants. These results provide strong evidence that the differences in host range between Fom and Forc are caused by differences between transferred chromosomes of Fom and chrRC , thus narrowing down the search for genes allowing or preventing infection of cucumber and watermelon to genes located on these chromosomes.

Project description:Fusarium oxysporum formae specialis cubense (Foc) is a soil-borne fungus that causes Fusarium wilt, which is considered to be the most destructive disease of bananas. The fungus is believed to have evolved with its host in the Indo-Malayan region, and from there it was spread to other banana-growing areas with infected planting material. The diversity and distribution of Foc in Asia was investigated. A total of 594 F. oxysporum isolates collected in ten Asian countries were identified by vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) analysis. To simplify the identification process, the isolates were first divided into DNA lineages using PCR-RFLP analysis. Six lineages and 14 VCGs, representing three Foc races, were identified in this study. The VCG complex 0124/5 was most common in the Indian subcontinent, Vietnam and Cambodia; whereas the VCG complex 01213/16 dominated in the rest of Asia. Sixty-nine F. oxysporum isolates in this study did not match any of the known VCG tester strains. In this study, Foc VCG diversity in Bangladesh, Cambodia and Sri Lanka was determined for the first time and VCGs 01221 and 01222 were first reported from Cambodia and Vietnam. New associations of Foc VCGs and banana cultivars were recorded in all the countries where the fungus was collected. Information obtained in this study could help Asian countries to develop and implement regulatory measures to prevent the incursion of Foc into areas where it does not yet occur. It could also facilitate the deployment of disease resistant banana varieties in infested areas.

Project description:The fungus Fusarium oxysporum is infamous for its devastating effects on economically important crops worldwide. F. oxysporum isolates are grouped into formae speciales based on their ability to cause disease on different hosts. Assigning F. oxysporum strains to formae speciales using non-experimental procedures has proven to be challenging due to their genetic heterogeneity and polyphyletic nature. However, genetically diverse isolates of the same forma specialis encode similar repertoires of effectors, proteins that are secreted by the fungus and contribute to the establishment of compatibility with the host. Based on this observation, we previously designed the F. oxysporum Effector Clustering (FoEC) pipeline which is able to classify F. oxysporum strains by forma specialis based on hierarchical clustering of the presence of predicted putative effector sequences, solely using genome assemblies as input. Here we present the updated FoEC2 pipeline which is more user friendly, customizable and, due to multithreading, has improved scalability. It is designed as a Snakemake pipeline and incorporates a new interactive visualization app. We showcase FoEC2 by clustering 537 publicly available F. oxysporum genomes and further analysis of putative effector families as multiple sequence alignments. We confirm classification of isolates into formae speciales and are able to further identify their subtypes. The pipeline is available on github: https://github.com/pvdam3/FoEC2.

Project description:Fusarium oxysporum is an economically important pathogen that widely exists in the environment and is capable of causing serious problems in crop production and animal/human health. One important step for characterization of a fungal protein with an unknown function is to determine its subcellular localization within the cell. To facilitate the study of important functional regulators or key virulence factors, we developed a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated endogenous gene tagging (EGT) system based on two different strategies, homology-independent targeted integration (HITI) and homology-dependent recombination integration (HDRI). The HITI strategy was able to facilitate integration of a large DNA fragment, ∼8 kb in length, into the genome of F. oxysporum at the sgRNA cleavage site, and was used to insert a C-terminal 3×sGFP tag to the FoCHS5 gene and a N-terminal mCherry tag to the FoSSO2 gene. The HDRI strategy was used to tag the paralogous gene, FoSSO1, with a C-terminal mCherry marker. FoChs5-3×sGFP localized to conidia, some septa, and fungal tips. A majority of the FoSso1-mCherry was distributed in the conidia, septum, and hyphae that were distal from the fungal tips. While FoSso1-mCherry showed a very weak fluorescent signal at the fungal tips, mCherry-FoSso2 accumulated in the plasma membrane of conidia, germlings, fungal tips, hyphae, and phialides, suggesting FoSSO1 and FoSSO2 are regulated differently during fungal development. These results indicate this EGT system is efficient and can be another molecular tool to resolve the function(s) of proteins and infection strategies of F. oxysporum.

Project description:CdSe quantum dots are often used in industry as fluorescent materials. In this study, CdSe quantum dots were synthesized using Fusarium oxysporum. The cadmium and selenium concentration, pH, and temperature for the culture of F. oxysporum (Fusarium oxysporum) were optimized for the synthesis, and the CdSe quantum dots obtained from the mycelial cells of F. oxysporum were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Ultra-thin sections of F. oxysporum showed that the CdSe quantum dots were precipitated in the intracellular space, indicating that cadmium and selenium ions were incorporated into the cell and that the quantum dots were synthesized with intracellular metabolites. To reveal differences in F. oxysporum metabolism, cell extracts of F. oxysporum, before and after CdSe synthesis, were compared using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The results suggested that the amount of superoxide dismutase (SOD) decreased after CdSe synthesis. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that cytoplasmic superoxide increased significantly after CdSe synthesis. The accumulation of superoxide may increase the expression of various metabolites that play a role in reducing Se4+ to Se2- and inhibit the aggregation of CdSe to make nanoparticles.

Project description:In this work, we inferred the gene regulatory network (GRN) of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum by using the regulatory networks of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4, Neurospora crassa OR74A, Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288c, and Fusarium graminearum PH-1 as templates for sequence comparisons. Topological properties to infer the role of transcription factors (TFs) and to identify functional modules were calculated in the GRN. From these analyzes, five TFs were identified as hubs, including FOXG_04688 and FOXG_05432, which regulate 2,404 and 1,864 target genes, respectively. In addition, 16 communities were identified in the GRN, where the largest contains 1,923 genes and the smallest contains 227 genes. Finally, the genes associated with virulence were extracted from the GRN and exhaustively analyzed, and we identified a giant module with ten TFs and 273 target genes, where the most highly connected node corresponds to the transcription factor FOXG_05265, homologous to the putative bZip transcription factor CPTF1 of Claviceps purpurea, which is involved in ergotism disease that affects cereal crops and grasses. The results described in this work can be used for the study of gene regulation in this organism and open the possibility to explore putative genes associated with virulence against their host.

Project description:Fusarium oxysporum (Fo) is a notorious pathogen that significantly contributes to yield losses in crops of high economic status. It is responsible for vascular wilt characterized by the browning of conductive tissue, wilting, and plant death. Individual strains of Fo are host specific (formae speciales), and approximately, 150 forms have been documented so far. The pathogen secretes small effector proteins in the xylem, termed as Secreted in Xylem (Six), that contribute to its virulence. Most of these proteins contain cysteine residues in even numbers. These proteins are encoded by SIX genes that reside on mobile pathogenicity chromosomes. So far, 14 proteins have been reported. However, formae speciales vary in SIX protein profile and their respective gene sequence. Thus, SIX genes have been employed as ideal markers for pathogen identification. Acquisition of SIX-encoding mobile pathogenicity chromosomes by non-pathogenic lines, through horizontal transfer, results in the evolution of new virulent lines. Recently, some SIX genes present on these pathogenicity chromosomes have been shown to be involved in defining variation in host specificity among formae speciales. Along these lines, the review entails the variability (formae speciales, races, and vegetative compatibility groups) and evolutionary relationships among members of F. oxysporum species complex (FOSC). It provides updated information on the diversity, structure, regulation, and (a)virulence functions of SIX genes. The improved understanding of roles of SIX in variability and virulence of Fo has significant implication in establishment of molecular framework and techniques for disease management. Finally, the review identifies the gaps in current knowledge and provides insights into potential research landscapes that can be explored to strengthen the understanding of functions of SIX genes.

Project description:Fungal pathogens grow in the apoplastic space, in constant contact with the plant cell wall (CW) that hinders microbe progression while representing a source of nutrients. Although numerous fungal CW modifying proteins have been identified, their role during host colonization remains underexplored. Here, we show that the root-infecting plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum (Fo) does not require its complete arsenal of cellulases to infect the host plant. Quite the opposite: Fo mutants impaired in cellulose degradation become hypervirulent by enhancing the secretion of virulence factors. On the other hand, the reduction in cellulase activity had a severe negative effect on saprophytic growth and microconidia production during the final stages of the Fo infection cycle. These findings enhance our understanding of the function of plant CW degradation on the outcome of host-microbe interactions and reveal an unexpected role of cellulose degradation in a pathogen's reproductive success.

Project description:BackgroundHairpin RNA (hpRNA) transgenes can be effective at inducing RNA silencing and have been exploited as a powerful tool for gene function analysis in many organisms. However, in fungi, expression of hairpin RNA transcripts can induce post-transcriptional gene silencing, but in some species can also lead to transcriptional gene silencing, suggesting a more complex interplay of the two pathways at least in some fungi. Because many fungal species are important pathogens, RNA silencing is a powerful technique to understand gene function, particularly when gene knockouts are difficult to obtain. We investigated whether the plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum possesses a functional gene silencing machinery and whether hairpin RNA transcripts can be employed to effectively induce gene silencing.ResultsHere we show that, in the phytopathogenic fungus F. oxysporum, hpRNA transgenes targeting either a β-glucuronidase (Gus) reporter transgene (hpGus) or the endogenous gene Frp1 (hpFrp) did not induce significant silencing of the target genes. Expression analysis suggested that the hpRNA transgenes are prone to transcriptional inactivation, resulting in low levels of hpRNA and siRNA production. However, the hpGus RNA can be efficiently transcribed by promoters acquired either by recombination with a pre-existing, actively transcribed Gus transgene or by fortuitous integration near an endogenous gene promoter allowing siRNA production. These siRNAs effectively induced silencing of a target Gus transgene, which in turn appeared to also induce secondary siRNA production. Furthermore, our results suggested that hpRNA transcripts without poly(A) tails are efficiently processed into siRNAs to induce gene silencing. A convergent promoter transgene, designed to express poly(A)-minus sense and antisense Gus RNAs, without an inverted-repeat DNA structure, induced consistent Gus silencing in F. oxysporum.ConclusionsThese results indicate that F. oxysporum possesses functional RNA silencing machineries for siRNA production and target mRNA cleavage, but hpRNA transgenes may induce transcriptional self-silencing due to its inverted-repeat structure. Our results suggest that F. oxysporum possesses a similar gene silencing pathway to other fungi like fission yeast, and indicate a need for developing more effective RNA silencing technology for gene function studies in this fungal pathogen.

Project description:The polyphyletic nature of many formae speciales of Fusarium oxysporum prevents molecular identification of newly encountered strains based on conserved, vertically inherited genes. Alternative molecular detection methods that could replace labor- and time-intensive disease assays are therefore highly desired. Effectors are functional elements in the pathogen-host interaction and have been found to show very limited sequence diversity between strains of the same forma specialis, which makes them potential markers for host-specific pathogenicity. We therefore compared candidate effector genes extracted from 60 existing and 22 newly generated genome assemblies, specifically targeting strains affecting cucurbit plant species. Based on these candidate effector genes, a total of 18 PCR primer pairs were designed to discriminate between each of the seven Cucurbitaceae-affecting formae speciales When tested on a collection of strains encompassing different clonal lineages of these formae speciales, nonpathogenic strains, and strains of other formae speciales, they allowed clear recognition of the host range of each evaluated strain. Within Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis more genetic variability exists than anticipated, resulting in three F. oxysporum f. sp. melonis marker patterns that partially overlapped with the cucurbit-infecting Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. momordicae, and/or Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lagenariae For F. oxysporum f. sp. niveum, a multiplex TaqMan assay was evaluated and was shown to allow quantitative and specific detection of template DNA quantities as low as 2.5 pg. These results provide ready-to-use marker sequences for the mentioned F. oxysporum pathogens. Additionally, the method can be applied to find markers distinguishing other host-specific forms of F. oxysporumIMPORTANCE Pathogenic strains of Fusarium oxysporum are differentiated into formae speciales based on their host range, which is normally restricted to only one or a few plant species. However, horizontal gene transfer between strains in the species complex has resulted in a polyphyletic origin of host specificity in many of these formae speciales This hinders accurate and rapid pathogen detection through molecular methods. In our research, we compared the genomes of 88 strains of F. oxysporum with each other, specifically targeting virulence-related genes that are typically highly similar within each forma specialis Using this approach, we identified marker sequences that allow the discrimination of F. oxysporum strains affecting various cucurbit plant species through different PCR-based methods.
