Project description:Infection of the plant parasitic nematode Heterodera schachtii by the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora. Transcriptome or Gene expression
Project description:We report the transcriptomic comparisions between ku70 control and ste12 mutant strains in nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora when induced with nematodes. Fungal Ste12 transcription factor and the upstream MAPK cascade are highly conserved and plays a role in host sensing and pathogenesis in various fungal pathogens. Identification of Ste12-dependent in A. oligospora may provide further insights into the molecular mechanisms of nematode-sensing and trap morphogenesis. The reference assemly used for remapping is A. oligospora TWF154 (GenBank assembly accession: GCA_004768765.1)

Project description:Arthrobotrys flagrans, a typical nematode-trapping fungus (NTF) that produces a three-dimensional adhesive network to capture nematodes, has excellent potential for the de-velopment of biocontrol agents against both plant and animal parasitic nematodes. Proteins containing the common fungal extracellular membrane (CFEM) domain are important for the nematodes' trapping by A. flagrans. The loss of AfCFEM1 and AfCFEM3 resulted in a significant upregulation of proteins associated with fungal pathogenicity, forming a denser adhesive material on the trap surface and ultimately increasing nematode mortality. However, the disruption of AfCFEM2 led to the opposite result. Furthermore, the deletion of AfCFEM1-3 not only affected trap morphology, resulting in an increased proportion of irregular traps (i.e., trap cells not fused to the hyphae), but also led to a thinner cell wall of the traps. Besides, the compensate effects among the CFEM family and other families were demonstrated. This study revealed that the AfCFEM1-3 genes in A. flagrans participated in nematode adhesion, cell wall formation, and intercellular communication, providing new insights into the functions of AfCFEM in the process of nematode trapping by NTF.
Project description:Guava (Psidium guajava), referred to as the "tropical apple," is esteemed for its sweet flavor, nutritional density, and medicinal attributes, being rich in ascorbic acid, phenolics, carotenoids, fibers, and minerals. Despite its agricultural significance, guava cultivation faces considerable challenges from plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN), particularly root-knot nematodes (RKN; Meloidogyne spp.). In South America, Meloidogyne enterolobii causes severe root damage and economic losses to this crop. Plants fight nematodes through complex immune mechanisms involving pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and signaling pathways, such as pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). The present research employed comparative shotgun proteomic analysis complemented by microscopic imaging and histochemical assays of roots from susceptible Psidium guajava and resistant P. guineense, inoculated or not with M. enterolobii, Plant-nematode interactions revealed intricate cellular responses such as giant cells formation, hypersensitivity reactions, and biochemical pathway adjustments in sucrose transport and antioxidant enzyme activities. Synthesis and accumulation of secondary metabolites like terpenes, alkaloids, and phenolics in inoculated and resistant plants were positively correlated to plant resilience. The 70 kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) emerged as pivotal in plant response, being upregulated during nematode infection.
