Project description:We explored the use of Phi in controlling the fungal pathogens Puccinia emaculata and Phakopsora pachyrhizi, the causal agents of switchgrass rust and Asian soybean rust, respectively. RNA sequencing of both the pathogens with and without treatment with Phi was conducted. Differentially expressed genes were identified in both pathogens and comparison of differentially expressed genes was made to identify commonly regulated genes by Phi. Total RNA from Phi‐treated Pe and Pp was isolated using an RNeasy plant mini kit (Qiagen). Two biological replicates were used for each treatment (12 samples). Illumina TruSeq sequencing‐by‐synthesis chemistry was used on a HiSeq 2000 platform (Illumina, https://www.illumina.com/) to generate paired‐end reads (2 × 100 bp).

Project description:Genome and transcriptome sequencing of Asian Soybean Rust, Phakopsora pachyrhizi
| PRJEB46918 | ENA
Project description:BACKGROUND: Phakopsora pachyrhizi is an obligate fungal pathogen causing Asian soybean rust (ASR). A dual approach was taken to examine the molecular and biochemical processes occurring during the development of appressoria, specialized infection structures by which P. pachyrhizi invades a host plant. Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was utilized to generate a cDNA library enriched for transcripts expressed during appressoria formation. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectroscopy analysis were used to generate a partial proteome of proteins present during appressoria formation. RESULTS: Sequence analysis of 1133 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) revealed 238 non-redundant ESTs, of which 53% had putative identities assigned. Twenty-nine of the non-redundant ESTs were found to be specific to the appressoria-enriched cDNA library, and did not occur in a previously constructed germinated urediniospore cDNA library. Analysis of proteins against a custom database of the appressoria-enriched ESTs plus Basidiomycota EST sequences available from NCBI revealed 256 proteins. Fifty-nine of these proteins were not previously identified in a partial proteome of P. pachyrhizi germinated urediniospores. Genes and proteins identified fell into functional categories of metabolism, cell cycle and DNA processing, protein fate, cellular transport, cellular communication and signal transduction, and cell rescue. However, 38% of ESTs and 24% of proteins matched only to hypothetical proteins of unknown function, or showed no similarity to sequences in the current NCBI database. Three novel Phakopsora genes were identified from the cDNA library along with six potentially rust-specific genes. Protein analysis revealed eight proteins of unknown function, which possessed classic secretion signals. Two of the extracellular proteins are reported as potential effector proteins. CONCLUSIONS: Several genes and proteins were identified that are expressed in P. pachyrhizi during appressoria formation. Understanding the role that these genes and proteins play in the molecular and biochemical processes in the infection process may provide insight for developing targeted control measures and novel methods of disease management.

Project description:Asian soybean rust (ASR) is one of the most destructive diseases affecting soybeans. The causative agent of ASR, the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi, presents characteristics that make it difficult to study in vitro, limiting our knowledge of plant-pathogen dynamics. Therefore, this work used leaf lesion laser microdissection associated with deep sequencing to determine the pathogen transcriptome during compatible and incompatible interactions with soybean. The 36,350 generated unisequences provided an overview of the main genes and biological pathways that were active in the fungus during the infection cycle. We also identified the most expressed transcripts, including sequences similar to other fungal virulence and signaling proteins. Enriched P. pachyrhizi transcripts in the resistant (PI561356) soybean genotype were related to extracellular matrix organization and metabolic signaling pathways and, among infection structures, in amino acid metabolism and intracellular transport. Unisequences were further grouped into gene families along predicted sequences from 15 other fungi and oomycetes, including rust fungi, allowing the identification of conserved multigenic families, as well as being specific to P. pachyrhizi. The results revealed important biological processes observed in P. pachyrhizi, contributing with information related to fungal biology and, consequently, a better understanding of ASR.

Project description:Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by the obligate biotrophic fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi, can cause losses greater than 80%. Despite its economic importance, there is no soybean cultivar with durable ASR resistance. In addition, the P. pachyrhizi genome is not yet available. However, the availability of other rust genomes, as well as the development of sample enrichment strategies and bioinformatics tools, has improved our knowledge of the ASR secretome and its potential effectors. In this context, we used a combination of laser capture microdissection (LCM), RNAseq and a bioinformatics pipeline to identify a total of 36 350 P. pachyrhizi contigs expressed in planta and a predicted secretome of 851 proteins. Some of the predicted secreted proteins had characteristics of candidate effectors: small size, cysteine rich, do not contain PFAM domains (except those associated with pathogenicity) and strongly expressed in planta. A comparative analysis of the predicted secreted proteins present in Pucciniales species identified new members of soybean rust and new Pucciniales- or P. pachyrhizi-specific families (tribes). Members of some families were strongly up-regulated during early infection, starting with initial infection through haustorium formation. Effector candidates selected from two of these families were able to suppress immunity in transient assays, and were localized in the plant cytoplasm and nuclei. These experiments support our bioinformatics predictions and show that these families contain members that have functions consistent with P. pachyrhizi effectors.

Project description:Phakopsora pachyrhizi, the causal agent of Asian soybean rust (ASR), continues to spread across the southeast and midsouth regions of the United States, necessitating the use of fungicides by producers. Our objective in this research was to identify ASR proteins expressed early during infection for the development of immunodiagnostic assays. We have identified and partially characterized a small gene family encoding extracellular proteins in the P. pachyrhizi urediniospore wall, termed PHEPs (for Phakopsora extracellular protein). Two highly expressed protein family members, PHEP 107 and PHEP 369, were selected as ideal immunodiagnostic targets for antibody development, after we detected PHEPs in plants as early as 3 days postinfection (dpi). Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs; 2E8E5-1 and 3G6H7-3) generated against recombinant PHEP 369 were tested for sensitivity against the recombinant protein and extracts from ASR-infected plants and for specificity against a set of common soybean pathogens. These antibodies should prove applicable in immunodiagnostic assays to detect infected soybeans and to identify ASR spores from sentinel surveillance plots.

Project description:The management of soybean rust (SBR) caused by the obligate fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi mostly relies on the use of synthetic fungicides, especially in areas where the disease inflicts serious yield losses. The reliance on synthetic fungicides to manage this disease has resulted in resistance of P. pachyrhizi populations to most fungicides. In this study, bacteria isolated from diverse environments were evaluated for their biocontrol potential against P. pachyrhizi using soybean detached-leaf method and on-plant in the growth chamber, greenhouse, and field. Among 998 bacterial isolates evaluated using the detached-leaf method; 58% were isolated from plant-related materials, 27% from soil, 10% from insects, and 5% from other environments. Of the isolates screened, 73 were active (they had ⪖ 75% rust reduction) with an active rate of 7.3%. From the active isolates, 65 isolates were re-tested on-plant in the growth chamber for activity confirmation. In the confirmation test, 49 bacteria isolated from plant-related materials maintained their activity with a confirmation rate of 75%. The majority of bacteria with confirmed activity belonged to the taxonomic classes Bacilli and Gammaproteobacteria (70%). Active isolates were prioritized for greenhouse and field testing based on activity in the initial screen and confirmation test. Six bacterial isolates AFS000009 (Pseudomonas_E chlororaphis), AFS032321 (Bacillus subtilis), AFS042929 (Bacillus_C megaterium), AFS065981 (Bacillus_X simplex_A), AFS090698 (Bacillus_A thuringiensis_S), and AFS097295 (Bacillus_A toyonensis) were selected from those bacteria that maintained activity in the confirmation test and were evaluated in the greenhouse, and five among them were evaluated in the field. From the Alabama field evaluation, all bacterial isolates reduced rust infection as well as azoxystrobin (Quadris® at 0.3 L/ha) used as the fungicide control (P > 0.05). Moreover, the scanning electron micrographs demonstrated evidence of antagonistic activity of AFS000009 and AFS032321 against P. pachyrhizi urediniospores. Bacterial isolates that consistently showed activity comparable to that of azoxystrobin can be improved through fermentation and formulation optimization, developed, and deployed. These bacteria strains would provide a valuable alternative to the synthetic fungicides and could play a useful role in integrated disease management programs for this disease.
