Intracellular pathogens go extreme: genome evolution in the Rickettsiales.
The Rickettsiales, a genetically diverse group of the alpha-Proteobacteria, include major mammalian pathogens, such as the agents of epidemic typhus, scrub typhus, ehrlichioses and heartwater disease. Sequenced genomes of this bacterial order have provided exciting insights into reductive genome evolution, antigenic variation and host cell manipulation. Recent results suggest that human pathoge...
متن کاملGenome-Enhanced Detection and Identification (GEDI) of plant pathogens
Plant diseases caused by fungi and Oomycetes represent worldwide threats to crops and forest ecosystems. Effective prevention and appropriate management of emerging diseases rely on rapid detection and identification of the causal pathogens. The increase in genomic resources makes it possible to generate novel genome-enhanced DNA detection assays that can exploit whole genomes to discover candi...
متن کاملConvergent Evolution: Gene Sharing by Eukaryotic Plant Pathogens
Oomycetes and filamentous parasitic fungi are plant pathogens that have undergone convergent evolution. A recent study has shown that these microbial eukaryotes have exchanged metabolic genes, which might explain some of their phenotypic similarities.
متن کاملChromatin Biology Impacts Adaptive Evolution of Filamentous Plant Pathogens
Introduction An organism’s adaptation to changing environments is fueled by its genetic variability, which is established by mechanisms ranging from single-nucleotide polymorphisms to large-scale structural variations, all of which affect chromosomal shape, organization, and gene content [1]. These processes are particularly relevant for pathogens that must respond to continual selection pressu...
متن کاملEvolution of Filamentous Plant Pathogens: Gene Exchange across Eukaryotic Kingdoms
Filamentous fungi and oomycetes are eukaryotic microorganisms that grow by producing networks of thread-like hyphae, which secrete enzymes to break down complex nutrients, such as wood and plant material, and recover the resulting simple sugars and amino acids by osmotrophy. These organisms are extremely similar in both appearance and lifestyle and include some of the most economically importan...
