The Poplar-Poplar Rust Interaction: Insights from Genomics and Transcriptomics
Poplars are extensively cultivated worldwide, and their susceptibility to the leaf rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina leads to considerable damages in plantations. Despite a good knowledge of the poplar rust life cycle, and particularly the epidemics on poplar, the perennial status of the plant host and the obligate biotrophic lifestyle of the rust fungus are bottlenecks for molecular inves...
متن کاملAdvancing Knowledge on Biology of Rust Fungi Through Genomics
Pucciniales are an important group of fungal plant pathogens that cause rust diseases in a diverse group of hosts including ecologically and economically important crops and trees. Rust fungi have intriguing and complex life cycles and are obligate biotrophs. Because of their biological features, these fungi are very difficult to study under laboratory conditions. The recent advances in genomic...

Barbieri, M., Marcel, T. C., and Niks, R. E. 2011. Host status of false brome grass to the leaf rust fungus Puccinia brachypodii and the stripe rust fungus P. striiformis. Plant Dis. 95:1339-1345. Purple false brome grass (Brachypodium distachyon) has recently emerged as a model system for temperate grasses and is also a potential model plant to investigate plant interactions with economically ...
متن کاملGenomes of obligate plant pathogens reveal adaptations for obligate parasitism.
M any destructive crop diseases are caused by filamentous microbes from the kingdoms Fungi (e.g., ascomycetes and basidomycetes) and Stramenopila (oomycetes). Many of these pathogens exploit plants by extracting nutrients from living plant cells (biotrophy) (1). In some cases, biotrophic pathogens have evolved to a state of absolute dependency on their hosts. These obligate biotrophs have lost ...
متن کاملGenomic Insights into Xylella fastidiosa Interactions with Plant and Insect Hosts
The utilization of genomic data and widespread availability of genomics tools is still incipient in plant pathology. The first genome of a plant pathogen, that of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, was only completed in 2000 (Simpson et al. 2000). Since then, many bacterial plant pathogens have been sequenced, but much of the scientific knowledge extracted from these data is still limited, espec...
