Project description:Dothistroma septosporum, the primary causal agent of Dothistroma needle blight, is one of the most significant foliar pathogens of pine worldwide. Its wide host and environmental ranges have led to its global success as a pathogen and severe economic damage to pine forests in many regions. This comprehensive global population study elucidated the historical migration pathways of the pathogen to reveal the Eurasian origin of the fungus. When over 3800 isolates were examined, three major population clusters were revealed: North America, Western Europe, and Eastern Europe, with distinct subclusters in the highly diverse Eastern European cluster. Modeling of historical scenarios using approximate Bayesian computation revealed the North American cluster was derived from an ancestral population in Eurasia. The Northeastern European subcluster was shown to be ancestral to all other European clusters and subclusters. The Turkish subcluster diverged first, followed by the Central European subcluster, then the Western European cluster, which has subsequently spread to much of the Southern Hemisphere. All clusters and subclusters contained both mating-types of the fungus, indicating the potential for sexual reproduction, although asexual reproduction remained the primary mode of reproduction. The study strongly suggests the native range of D. septosporum to be in Eastern Europe (i.e., the Baltic and Western Russia) and Western Asia.

Project description:A new double-stranded (ds) RNA mycovirus has been identified in isolate Ds752-1 of the phytopathogenic fungus Dothistroma septosporum, the causal agent of Dothistroma needle blight, also known as red band needle blight or pine needle blight. Dothistroma septosporum chrysovirus 1 (DsCV-1) is a new member of the genus Alphachrysovirus in the family Chrysoviridae. The DsCV-1 genome comprises four dsRNA elements designated 1, 2, 3, and 4 from largest to smallest. dsRNA1 encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) that is most similar to the RdRP of Erysiphe necator associated chrysovirus 3. dsRNA2 potentially encodes two hypothetical proteins, one of which is small and has no homology to known proteins, and one of which is large with significant sequence similarity to the alphachryso-P3 of other alphachrysoviruses. dsRNA3 and dsRNA4 encode a coat protein (CP) and a putative cysteine protease, respectively. This is the first report of a mycovirus infecting the fungus D. septosporum, and DsCV-1 is one of three Chrysoviridae family members found to possess genomic dsRNAs potentially encoding more than one protein.

Project description:Dothistroma needle blight, caused by Dothistroma septosporum, has increased in incidence and severity over the last few decades and is now one of the most important global diseases of pines. Disease resistance breeding could be accelerated by knowledge of pathogen virulence factors and their host targets. However, this is hindered due to inefficient targeted gene disruption in D. septosporum, which is required for virulence gene characterisation. Here we report the first successful application of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to a Dothideomycete forest pathogen, D. septosporum. Disruption of the dothistromin pathway regulator gene AflR, with a known phenotype, was performed using nonhomologous end-joining repair with an efficiency of > 90%. Transformants with a range of disruption mutations in AflR were produced. Disruption of Ds74283, a D. septosporum gene encoding a secreted cell death elicitor, was also achieved using CRISPR/Cas9, by using a specific donor DNA repair template to aid selection where the phenotype was unknown. In this case, 100% of screened transformants were identified as disruptants. In establishing CRISPR/Cas9 as a tool for gene editing in D. septosporum, our research could fast track the functional characterisation of candidate virulence factors in D. septosporum and helps set the foundation for development of this technology in other forest pathogens.

Project description:Dothistroma needle blight is one of the most devastating pine tree diseases worldwide. New and emerging epidemics have been frequent over the last 25 years, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere, where they are in part associated with changing weather patterns. One of the main Dothistroma needle blight pathogens, Dothistroma septosporum, has a global distribution but most molecular plant pathology research has been confined to Southern Hemisphere populations that have limited genetic diversity. Extensive genomic and transcriptomic data are available for a D. septosporum reference strain from New Zealand, where an introduced clonal population of the pathogen predominates. Due to the global importance of this pathogen, we determined whether the genome of this reference strain is representative of the species worldwide by sequencing the genomes of 18 strains sampled globally from different pine hosts. Genomic polymorphism shows substantial variation within the species, clustered into two distinct groups of strains with centres of diversity in Central and South America. A reciprocal chromosome translocation uniquely identifies the New Zealand strains. Globally, strains differ in their production of the virulence factor dothistromin, with extremely high production levels in strain ALP3 from Germany. Comparisons with the New Zealand reference revealed that several strains are aneuploids; for example, ALP3 has duplications of three chromosomes. Increased gene copy numbers therefore appear to contribute to increased production of dothistromin, emphasizing that studies of population structure are a necessary adjunct to functional analyses of genetic polymorphisms to identify the molecular basis of virulence in this important forest pathogen.
