Transcriptome-wide analysis of North-East Indian rice cultivars in response to Bipolaris oryzae infection revealed the importance of early response to the pathogen in suppressing the disease progression

Riwandahun Marwein et al.

Summary: The study identified different levels of resistance in North-East Indian rice cultivars to Bipolaris oryzae, and revealed the importance of early response to the pathogen in suppressing disease progression through systematic RNA seq analysis. The findings provide key regulatory genes for potential functional genetic analysis to develop genetic tolerance to BSD of rice.

Botrytis cinerea Transcription Factor BcXyr1 Regulates (Hemi-)Cellulase Production and Fungal Virulence

Liang Ma et al.

Summary: PCWDEs are considered important components of the virulence arsenal of necrotrophic plant pathogens. However, the role of PCWDEs in the pathogenicity of necrotrophic phytopathogenic fungi remains ambiguous. In this study, a transcription factor called BcXyr1 was identified in Botrytis cinerea that regulates the production of (hemi-)cellulases and is necessary for fungal virulence. Deletion of the bcxyr1 gene led to impaired spore germination, reduced fungal virulence, and decreased reactive oxygen species production. The findings highlight the importance of PCWDEs in the pathogenicity of B. cinerea and identify specific PCWDEs that play a crucial role.

Ustilago maydis effector Jsi1 interacts with Topless corepressor, hijacking plant jasmonate/ethylene signaling

Martin Darino et al.

Summary: This study characterized the Ustilago maydis effector protein Jasmonate/Ethylene signaling inducer 1 (Jsi1), showing its interaction with plant corepressor TPL/TPR proteins and activation of the ERF branch in the JA/ET signaling pathway. The induction of the ERF branch by Jsi1 leads to increased susceptibility to biotrophic pathogens in plants. The identification of EAR-motif-containing effector candidates from various fungal species suggests a convergent evolution of effectors modulating the TPL/TPR corepressor hub.

A haustorial-expressed lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase from the cucurbit powdery mildew pathogen Podosphaera xanthii contributes to the suppression of chitin-triggered immunity

Alvaro Polonio et al.

Summary: PHEC27213 is a novel fungal LPMO that catalyzes chitooligosaccharides, contributing to the suppression of plant immunity during haustorium development. This protein has the potential to prevent the activation of chitin-triggered immunity, representing a new mechanism in fungal pathogens to manipulate host immunity.

Tactics of host manipulation by intracellular effectors from plant pathogenic fungi

Melania Figueroa et al.

Summary: Fungal pathogens can secrete hundreds of effectors that promote host susceptibility, posing a challenge for researchers due to biological complexity and lack of genetic tools in some fungi. Recent advancements have shed light on how these pathogens manipulate plant physiology using similar strategies. Breakthroughs have also been made in identifying effectors from challenging systems and introducing concepts such as the 'iceberg model' to explain the suppression of plant immunity by certain effectors.

The Role of Glycoside Hydrolases in Phytopathogenic Fungi and Oomycetes Virulence

Vahideh Rafiei et al.

Summary: Phytopathogenic fungi secrete different hydrolytic enzymes to break down complex polysaccharides in the plant cell wall for successful infection. Most characterized cell wall degrading enzymes belong to glycoside hydrolases and play crucial roles in the invasion and pathogenicity of fungi. Some CWDEs also act as PAMPs, triggering plant immune responses.

Effectors of Plant Necrotrophic Fungi

Dandan Shao et al.

Summary: Plant diseases caused by necrotrophic fungal pathogens lead to significant economic losses in global field crop production. Effector proteins play a crucial role in facilitating plant colonization and nutrient acquisition by pathogens. Despite limited understanding, recent bioinformatics advancements have aided in predicting and discovering effector molecules from necrotrophic fungi, shedding light on their functional context. Understanding the mechanisms of necrotrophic effectors is essential for developing genetic interventions to enhance plant resistance against these pathogens.
