Project description:Fusarium oxysporum causes Fusarium wilt syndrome in more than 120 different plant hosts, including globally important crops such as tomato, cotton, banana, melon, etc. F. oxysporum shows high host specificity in over 150 formae speciales and have been ranked in the top 10 plant fungal pathogens. Although three PMTs encoded by the pmt1, pmt2, and pmt4 are annotated in the genome of F. oxysporum, their functions have not been reported. As O-mannosylation is not found in plants, a comprehensive understanding of PMTs in F. oxysporum becomes attractive for the development of new strategy against Fusarium wilt. In order to understand the molecular mechanism of the differential functions of three PMTs, a comparative O-glycoproteome analysis of the pmt mutants were carried out.
Project description:To study whether there are differences in chromatin-mediated regulation between and within chromosomes in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 (FGSC9935), we determined the distribution of histone marks associated with euchromatin (H3K4me2) and facultative heterochromatin (H3K27me3) in vitro. We then determined whether these differences correlate with differences in dispensability and sequence divergence and gene expression.
Project description:Transcriptome analysis reveals the response mechanism of Frl-mediated resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici (FORL) infection in tomato
Project description:The influence of during colonization by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Lycopersici secreted effector proteins on the proteome of the xylem sap of tomato plants was investigated using a label-free quantitative proteomics approach. A comparison was made between plants inoculated with either a mock control, a non-effector knockout control, Fusarium oxysporum Fol007 wildtype and four Fol007 single effector protein knockout strains. Specific effects on the relative abundance of certain proteins of the xylem sap occurred for the different knockout strains next to a core set of 24 differentially accumulated proteins which may provide insights into the mechanisms of promoting infection for each of the tested effector proteins.
