Neil D. Rawlings et al.

Summary: The MEROPS website and database classify proteolytic enzymes and protein inhibitors based on biochemical and biological properties, creating a hierarchy with levels such as protein species, family, and clan. Various data collections are accessible from all levels, including sequence homologs, bibliographies, substrate cleavage sites, and more. Data analysis can reveal peptidase binding site preferences and exclusions, as well as identify instances of cooperative binding between adjacent binding sites.

Hybrid de novo genome-reassembly reveals new insights on pathways and pathogenicity determinants in rice blast pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae RMg_Dl

Bhaskar Reddy et al.

Summary: The whole genome of rice infecting Magnaporthe oryzae (Strain RMg_Dl) was sequenced to understand genetic variability, host specificity, and molecular basis of pathogenicity-associated traits. Comparative genome analysis revealed high similarity with other oryzae genomes, and various virulence factors and biochemical pathways were identified. The information generated will aid in developing specific markers for diagnosis, pathogen surveillance, and improved management strategies for blast disease.

A single amino acid polymorphism in a conserved effector of the multihost blast fungus pathogen expands host-target binding spectrum

Adam Bentham et al.

Summary: Accelerated gene evolution is a hallmark of pathogen adaptation following host-jumps. In this study, the researchers unraveled the basis of adaptive evolution of APikL2, an effector gene in the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. They found that a single amino acid change in APikL2 expanded its binding spectrum to host proteins, shedding light on a common mechanism of effector specialization in the AVR-Pik/APikL2 family. This research provides a detailed molecular evolution and structural biology framework for understanding how fungal pathogens adapt and diversify following host jumps.

Integrated Metabarcoding and Culturomic-Based Microbiome Profiling of Rice Phyllosphere Reveal Diverse and Functional Bacterial Communities for Blast Disease Suppression

Kuleshwar Prasad Sahu et al.

Summary: In this study, the phyllosphere microbiome of rice plants was analyzed using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and conventional microbiological methods. The differences in bacterial diversity between susceptible and resistant rice genotypes were found, along with the role of phyllosphere bacteria in defense against rice blast disease. The study highlighted the dominance of Proteobacteria phylum and bacterial genera like Pantoea, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, and Erwinia on the phyllosphere of rice plants, as well as their antifungal activity against Magnaporthe oryzae.

Genome assisted molecular typing and pathotyping of rice blast pathogen, Magnaporthe oryzae, reveals a genetically homogenous population with high virulence diversity

Neelam Sheoran et al.

Summary: Genome sequencing-based molecular typing tools have the potential to uncover genetic diversity of rapidly evolving plant pathogens like Magnaporthe oryzae. A new molecular typing technique was reported for genetic analysis of M. oryzae, revealing genetically homogenous populations within single fields and plant niches. Different genetic loci showed varying degrees of polymorphism, with no congruence found between polymorphic virulence genes and conserved housekeeping genes.

Genetic Gains in Pearl Millet in India: Insights Into Historic Breeding Strategies and Future Perspective

Om Parkash Yadav et al.

Summary: Pearl millet is a crucial staple and nutritious crop in semi-arid and arid regions of South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, with breeding efforts resulting in a 4% annual yield increase over the past three decades. Future focus should be on accelerating genetic gains through hybrid breeding and incorporating nutritional trait improvement into breeding programs. Expanding the use of high-throughput genomic tools, speed breeding, and precision phenotyping protocols can help exploit the wealth of genetic variation in pearl millet for faster genetic gains.

Categorization of Orthologous Gene Clusters in 92 Ascomycota Genomes Reveals Functions Important for Phytopathogenicity

Daniel Peterson et al.

Summary: The study provides new insights into phytopathogenicity in Ascomycota through comparative genomics, revealing that group-specific orthogroups have more enriched functional terms and certain functional terms show higher significance and occurrence in these orthogroups. The analysis also suggests that genes shared by multiple phytopathogenic genomes are more important for phytopathogenicity than unique genes in each genome.
