Identification of 18 genes encoding necrosis-inducing proteins from the plant pathogen Phytophthora capsici (Pythiaceae: Oomycetes).
Phytophthora capsici is an aggressive plant pathogen that affects solanaceous and cucurbitaceous hosts. Necrosis-inducing Phytophthora proteins (NPPs) are a group of secreted toxins found particularly in oomycetes. Several NPPs from Phytophthora species trigger plant cell death and activate host defense gene expression. We isolated 18 P. capsici NPP genes, of which 12 were active during hypha g...
متن کاملGenetic determinants of the defense response of resistant and susceptible pepper (Capsicum annuum) cultivars infected with Phytophthora capsici (Oomycetes; Pythiaceae).
Based on culture isolation and morphological observation blight-infected pepper plants in Shaanxi Province, China, we identified the pathogen causing pepper phytophthora blight as Phytophthora capsici. Varieties that differed in resistance (CM334, PBC602, and B27) were inoculated with this pathogen. The root activity of resistant CM334 variety was the highest while that of susceptible B27 varie...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of Pcipg2 from the straminopilous plant pathogen Phytophthora capsici.
Phytophthora capsici causes serious diseases in numerous crop plants. Polygalacturonases (PGs) are cell wall-degrading enzymes that play an important role in pathogenesis in straminopilous pathogens. To understand PGs as they relate to the virulence of P. capsici, Pcipg2 was identified from a genomic library of a highly virulent P. capsici strain. Pcipg2 was strongly expressed during symptom de...
متن کاملMolecular characterization and functional analysis of the Nep1-like protein-encoding gene from Phytophthora capsici.
Phytophthora capsici is an aggressive plant pathogen that affects solanaceous and cucurbitaceous hosts. Nep1-like proteins (NLPs) are a group of effectors found particularly in oomycetes and considered important virulence factors. We identified an NLP gene (phcnlp1) from the highly virulent P. capsici strain Phyc12 that had an encoded polypeptide of 476-amino acid residues and a predicted molec...
متن کاملIsolation of nine Phytophthora capsici pectin methylesterase genes which are differentially expressed in various plant species.
Phytophthora capsici causes damage on many plants species, and secretes various pectin methylesterases during all stages of infection. We identified nine Pme genes (Pcpme 1-9) from a genomic library of highly virulent P. capsici strain SD33 and further analyzed the expression pattern of nine genes on three hosts: pepper, tomato, and cucumber using qRT-PCR during all stages of infection. All nin...
