Project description:Endophytic fungi are root-inhabiting fungi that can promote plant growth in a variety of ways. They can directly stimulate plant growth by producing phytohormones, such as auxin and gibberellins. They can also indirectly promote plant growth by helping plants to acquire nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, and by protecting plants from pests and pathogens.In this study, we used a proteomic approach to identify the proteins that are expressed in rice plants after they are treated with endophytic fungi. We found that the treatment with endophytic fungi resulted in the expression of a number of proteins involved in plant growth, nutrient acquisition, and defense. These results suggest that endophytic fungi can promote plant growth and improve plant resilience to stress.

Project description:Endophytic fungi are fungi that live inside the roots of plants. They can promote plant growth through a variety of direct and indirect mechanisms. Direct mechanisms include the production of phytohormones, such as auxin and gibberellins, which can stimulate plant growth. Endophytic fungi can also fix nitrogen, solubilize phosphate, and produce siderophores, which are compounds that chelate iron and make it available to plants. In addition, some endophytic fungi produce antimicrobial metabolites that can protect plants from pests and pathogens. Indirect mechanisms include the induction of systemic resistance, which is a plant's ability to defend itself against pests and pathogens. Endophytic fungi can also help plants to tolerate abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, and heavy metals. In this study, we used a proteomic approach to identify the proteins that are expressed in rice plants after they are treated with endophytic fungi. We found that the treatment with endophytic fungi resulted in the expression of a number of proteins involved in plant growth, stress response, and defense. These results suggest that endophytic fungi can promote plant growth and improve plant resilience to stress.

Project description:Decomposition of soil organic matter in forest soils is thought to be controlled by the activity of saprotrophic fungi, while biotrophic fungi including ectomycorrhizal fungi act as vectors for input of plant carbon. The limited decomposing ability of ectomycorrhizal fungi is supported by recent findings showing that they have lost many of the genes that encode hydrolytic plant cell-wall degrading enzymes in their saprophytic ancestors. Nevertheless, here we demonstrate that ectomycorrhizal fungi representing at least four origins of symbiosis have retained significant capacity to degrade humus-rich litter amended with glucose. Spectroscopy showed that this decomposition involves an oxidative mechanism and that the extent of oxidation varies with the phylogeny and ecology of the species. RNA-Seq analyses revealed that the genome-wide set of expressed transcripts during litter decomposition has diverged over evolutionary time. Each species expressed a unique set of enzymes that are involved in oxidative lignocellulose degradation by saprotrophic fungi. A comparison of closely related species within the Boletales showed that ectomycorrhizal fungi oxidized litter material as efficiently as brown-rot saprotrophs. The ectomycorrhizal species within this clade exhibited more similar decomposing mechanisms than expected from the species phylogeny in concordance with adaptive evolution occurring as a result of similar selection pressures. Our data shows that ectomycorrhizal fungi are potential organic matter decomposers, yet not saprotrophs. We suggest that the primary function of this decomposing activity is to mobilize nutrients embedded in organic matter complexes and that the activity is driven by host carbon supply.

Project description:We investigated the metabolism of six secondary metabolite producing fungi of the Penicillium genus, during nutrient depletion in the stationary phase of batch fermentations and assessed conserved metabolic responses across species using genome-wide transcriptional profiling. Coexpression analysis revealed that expression of secondary metabolite biosynthetic genes correlates with expression of genes associated with pathways responsible for generation of precursor metabolites for secondary metabolism. Our results highlight the main metabolic routes for precursor supply of the secondary metabolism during nutrient depletion, and suggests that regulation of fungal metabolism is tailored to meet the demands for secondary metabolite production. These findings can aid in identifying wild type species, which are optimized for production of specific secondary metabolites, and therefore can be utilized as high yielding cell factories.

Project description:Around two-thirds of all plant species form arbuscular mycorrhizasa symbiosis between plant roots and glomalean fungi that leads to the formation of intraradical organs of nutrient exchange and an extraradical network of fungal hyphae effectively extending the plant root system. The mycorrhiza plays a key role in plant nutrition and in enhancing plant resistance against pathogens and improving drought resistance. At present very little is known about the molecular basis of arbuscular mycorrhiza formation. Arabidopsis thaliana (as with all Brassicaceae) does not form arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM). Arabidopsis may either have lost essential gene functions or acquired new ones that prevent a successful symbiotic interaction. However given that mycorrhizal symbiosis developed very early during the evolution of land plants and that many ectomycorrhizal plant species can be colonised by AM fungi it is likely that important components of AM signalling pathways are conserved in all plants including Arabidopsis. Possibly the lack of AM development is a multigenic trait and this would make it difficult to isolate mutants that (re-)gain the ability to interact with AM fungi. What can be done however is firstly to test which parts of one or several putative AM signalling pathways are still functional and which ones are not. Secondly we can test whether negatively acting pathways such as those involved in defence against pathogenic microorganisms are induced upon inoculation with AM fungi. Together this work is likely to give important information of why Arabidopsis (and Brassicaceae) are behaving as non-hosts for AM fungi. In other words Arabidopsis will be an ideal system to study mechanisms of non-host "resistance" to AM colonisation. Elucidating these mechanisms will obviously make a great contribution to understanding the basis of the mycorrhizal interaction. Moreover using Arabidopsis as a tool it will be possible at the end to integrate the information obtained for AM signalling with that obtained for other developmental and environmentally triggered signalling pathways such as plant hormone signalling or plant defence responses. To produce an inventory of which Arabidopsis genes respond at all to inoculation with AM fungi a genome-wide screen for AM-controlled genes is proposed. RNA will be prepared from Arabidopsis roots treated with AM fungus and mock-inoculated control plants. Arabidopsis (Col-0) will be grown in pot culture (1:1 sand/Terra-Green) at low concentrations of phosphate. Three week-old plants will be inoculated with surface-sterilised spores of Gigaspora rosea. RNA will be isolated 3 days post inoculation.

Project description:In order to understand how P.al and P.ch respond to the environment set by V. vinifera we analyzed the transcriptomes of two fungi in axenic or mixed cultures with V. vinifera plant cells (callus culture). We could observe that these fungi respond with different strategies to the plant cell challange where P.ch induces de-toxification and translation machinery genes and P.al alters primary metabolism and induces heat shock related genes.
