Project description:The present study was designed to test the hypothesis of a widespread photochemical trait in fruiting body-forming fungal species. The biomaterial was selected based on Gill and Steglich's classification of fungal pigments, which focuses on their biosynthetic origin. With the aim to cover most described pigment types, 48 different species were selected. Second, dried and ground fruiting bodies were extracted and subjected to UPLC-HRMS/MS measurement.

Project description:Comprehensive utilization of cottonseeds is limited by the presence of pigment gland and its inclusion gossypol. The ideal cotton is glandless-seeds and glanded-plant, a trait found in only few Australian wild cotton species, including Gossypium bickii. Introgressing the trait to cultivated species is proved to be difficult. Understanding the biological processes towards pigment gland morphogenesis and the associated underlying molecular mechanisms will facilitate breeding cultivated cotton varieties with the trait of glandless-seeds and glanded-plant. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed on 12,222 protoplasts isolated from cotyledons of germinating G. bickii seeds 48-hours after imbibition. Clustered into 14 distinct clusters unsupervisedly, these cells could be grouped into eight cell populations with the assistance of known cell marker genes. The pigment gland cells were well separated from others, and could be separated into pigment gland parenchyma cells, secretory cells, and apoptotic cells. In this study, integrating pigment gland cells developmental trajectory, transcription factors regulatory networks, and core transcription factors functional validation, a relatively complete model was proposed for pigment gland formation. Light and gibberellin were verified to promote the formation of pigment glands. Besides, three novel genes, GbiERF114 (ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR 114), GbiZAT11 (ZINC FINGER OF ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA 11) and GbiNTL9 (NAC TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR-LIKE 9), were found to affect pigment gland formation. These findings shed new insights into pigment gland morphogenesis and lay the cornerstone for future cotton scRNA-seq investigations.

Project description:The “Amoeboid Predator-Fungal Animal Virulence Hypothesis” posits that interactions with environmental phagocytes shape the evolution of virulence traits in fungal pathogens. In this hypothesis, selection to avoid predation by amoeba inadvertently selects for traits that contribute to fungal escape from phagocytic immune cells. Here, we investigate this hypothesis in the human fungalpathogens Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus deneoformans. Applying quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping and comparative genomics, we discovered a cross-species QTL region that is responsible for variation in resistance to amoeba predation. In C. neoformans, this same QTL was found to have pleiotropic effects on melanization, an established virulence factor. Through fine mapping and population genomic comparisons, we identified the gene encoding the transcription factor BZP4 that underlies this pleiotropic QTL and we show that decreased expression of this gene reduces melanization and increases susceptibility to amoeba predation. Despite the joint effects of BZP4 on amoeba resistance and melanin production, we find no relationship between BZP4 genotype and escape from macrophages or virulence in murine models of disease. Our findings provide new perspectives on how microbial ecology shapes the genetic architecture of fungal virulence, and suggests the need for more nuanced models for the evolution of pathogenesis that account for the complexities of both microbe-microbe and microbe-host interactions.

Project description:Many fungi form complex three-dimensional fruiting bodies, within which the meiotic machinery for sexual spore production has been considered to be largely conserved over evolutionary time. Indeed, much of what we know about meiosis in plant and animal taxa has been deeply informed by studies of meiosis in Saccharomyces and Neurospora. Nevertheless, the genetic basis of fruiting body development and its regulation in relation to meiosis in fungi is barely known, even within the best studied multicellular fungal model Neurospora crassa. We characterized morphological development and genome-wide transcriptomics in the closely related species Neurospora crassa, Neurospora tetrasperma, and Neurospora discreta, across eight stages of sexual development. Despite diverse life histories within the genus, all three species produce vase-shaped perithecia. Transcriptome sequencing provided gene expression levels of 2479 orthologous genes among all three species. Expression of key meiosis genes and sporulation genes, corresponded to developmental differences among these Neurospora species during sexual development. Screening N. crassa knockout crosses of genes selected for their expression differences across species, eight genes, whose functions were previously unknown, are found to be critical for the successful formation of perithecia. The absence of these genes in mutant crosses resulted in either no perithecium formation or in arrested development at an early stage. Our results provide insight into the genetic basis of Neurospora sexual reproduction, which is also of great importance with regard to other multicelluar ascomycetes, including fungal pathogens closely related to Neurospora in the Sordariomycetes, such as Fusarium spp, Magnaporthe oryzae, and Nectria haematococca mRNA were sampled and compared from eight time points across sexual reproduction in three Neurospora species
