Cotransformation and Targeted Gene Inactivation in the Maize Anthracnose Fungus, Glomerella graminicola.
Cotransformation of Glomerella graminicola was achieved with the G. graminicola genes TUB1R1 (encoding a beta-tubulin which confers resistance to the fungicide benomyl) and PYR1 (encoding orotate phosphoribosyl transferase, which confers pyrimidine prototrophy). The cotransformation frequency was about 30% when selection was for pyrimidine prototrophy (Pyr) and 87% when selection was for benomy...
متن کاملThe application of laser microdissection to in planta gene expression profiling of the maize anthracnose stalk rot fungus Colletotrichum graminicola.
Laser microdissection (LM) offers a potential means for deep sampling of a fungal plant-pathogen transcriptome during the infection process using whole-genome DNA microarrays. The use of a fluorescent protein-expressing fungus can greatly facilitate the identification of fungal structures for LM sampling. However, fixation methods that preserve both tissue histology and protein fluorescence, an...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of a eukaryotic melibiose transporter.
Pathogenic fungi drastically affect plant health and cause significant losses in crop yield and quality. In spite of their impact, little is known about the carbon sources used by these fungi in planta and about the fungal transporters importing sugars from the plant-fungus interface. Here, we report on the identification and characterization of MELIBIOSE TRANSPORTER1 (MBT1) from the hemibiotro...
متن کاملIn vitro photodynamic inactivation of conidia of the phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum graminicola with cationic porphyrins.
Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is an efficient approach for the elimination of a series of microorganisms; however, PDI involving phytopathogenic filamentous fungi is scarce in the literature. In the present study, we have demonstrated the photoinactivating properties of five cationic meso-(1-methyl-4-pyridinio)porphyrins on conidia of the phytopathogen Colletotrichum graminicola. For this pur...
متن کاملAccidental amplification and inactivation of a methyltransferase gene eliminates cytosine methylation in Mycosphaerella graminicola.
A de novo search for repetitive elements in the genome sequence of the wheat pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola identified a family of repeats containing a DNA cytosine methyltransferase sequence (MgDNMT). All 23 MgDNMT sequences identified carried signatures of repeat induced point mutation (RIP). All copies were subtelomeric in location except for one on chromosome 6. Synteny with M. fijiens...
