Project description:Rice blast is a pervasive and devastating disease that threatens rice production across the world. In spite of its importance to global food security, however, the underlying biology of plant infection by the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae remains poorly understood. In particular, it is unclear how the fungus elaborates a specialised infection cell, the appressorium, in response to surface signals from the rice leaf. Here, we report the identification of a network of temporally co-regulated transcription factors that act downstream of the Pmk1 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway to regulate gene expression during appressorium-mediated plant infection. We have functionally characterised this network of transcription factors and demonstrated the operation of a hierarchical transcriptional control system. We show that this tiered regulatory mechanism involves Pmk1-dependent phosphorylation of the Hox7 homeobox transcription factor, which represses hyphal-associated gene expression and simultaneously induces major physiological changes required for appressorium development, including cell cycle arrest, autophagic cell death, turgor generation and melanin biosynthesis. Mst12 then regulates gene functions involved in septin-dependent cytoskeletal re-organisation, polarised exocytosis and effector gene expression necessary for plant tissue invasion.4929

Project description:The rice-blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is disseminated using a three-celled spore or conidium. Upon landing on the surface of a rice leaf, the conidium germinates and forms a specialised structure for entry into the host plant - the appressorium. In this study we have followed gene expression thoughout germination of the conidium and formation of the appressorium to identify genes that may be important for appressorium function. We have also compared gene expression in the wild-type germinating conidium at four hours to a mutant strain deleted for the MAP kinase pmk1. The pmk1 mutant is unable to form appressoria.

Samples were taken from five time-points in wild-type germinating conidia and one time-point in the pmk1 mutant. Two replicates were taken at each time-point.

Project description:The rice pathogen, Magnaporthe oryzae, undergoes a complex developmental process leading to formation of an appressorium prior to plant infection. In an effort to better understand phosphoregulation during appressorium development, a mass spectrometry-based study was undertaken. Phosphosites were identified from phosphoproteins from mycelia, conidia, germlings, and appressoria of the wild type and a ckpA mutant. The cyclic-AMP dependent protein kinase A (CPKA) is required for initial perception of the leaf surface, development of functional appressoria, and timely mobilization of storage reserves in conidia, including glycogen and lipid bodies.

Project description:This series examines differential gene expression during germination and appressorium formation by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea. Conidia were germinated on either the hydrophobic (inductive) or hydrophilic (non-inductive) side of GelBond. RNA was extracted from conidia and following incubation for 7 and 12 hours. RNA from two biological replications of each treatment was pooled in equal amounts and labeled with both cy3 and cy5 dyes using the Agilent Technologies Low Input Linear Amplification Kit. Hybridizations were performed on Agilent Technologies whole genome oligo rice blast arrays (product G4137A) using manufacturer prescribed protocols and reagents in an interlaced loop design in which each treatment was paired with every other. This series contains a total of 10 hybridizations; each treatment was used in 4 hybridizations (2 with cy3 and 2 cy5). Spot fluorescence was normalized using Lowess within and between microarray slides in Bioconductor and gene expression profiles analyzed in GeneSpring. Keywords: other
