Calcium signaling in oomycetes: an evolutionary perspective [PDF]

, 2016
Oomycetes are a family of eukaryotic microbes that superficially resemble fungi, but which are phylogenetically distinct from them. These organisms cause major global economic losses to agriculture and fisheries, with representative pathogens being ...

The maize mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase kinase gene ZmMAPKKK45 is associated with multiple disease resistance

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Southern leaf blight (SLB), caused by the necrotrophic fungus Cochliobolus heterostrophus, is a major foliar disease of maize (Zea mays) world‐wide. A genome‐wide association study was performed to dissect the genetic basis of SLB resistance in maize. Functional validation was performed using mutant and transgenic analyses.

Phytophthora polonica and Phytophthora hydropathica from Clade 9 Associated with Alder Decline in Bulgaria

Life
A number of Phytophthora species have been identified as destructive plant pathogens and invasive species. They have the potential to affect a wide range of host plants and cause diseases in agricultural and forest ecosystems.

Neofunctionalization of Glycolytic Enzymes: An Evolutionary Route to Plant Parasitism in the Oomycete Phytophthora nicotianae

Microorganisms, 2022
Oomycetes, of the genus Phytophthora, comprise of some of the most devastating plant pathogens. Parasitism of Phytophthora results from evolution from an autotrophic ancestor and adaptation to a wide range of environments, involving metabolic adaptation.

A Fungal Cysteine‐Rich Protein SsSCP Activates Immune Responses and Confers Broad‐Spectrum Disease Resistance in Tomato

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant immune systems recognise pathogen‐derived molecular patterns to activate defence responses, yet the mechanisms underlying fungal pattern recognition in crops remain largely unclear. Here, we characterise the cysteine‐rich secretory protein SsSCP from the broad‐host‐range fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum as a potent elicitor of ...

Overwintering seeds as reservoirs for seedling pathogens of wetland plant species

Ecosphere, 2016
Seed germination and seedling establishment are central to the distribution and abundance of plant species in wetlands. While fungal and oomycete pathogens are known to affect seed viability and emergence, relatively little is known about which fungi and

Multiple horizontal gene transfer events and domain fusions have created novel regulatory and metabolic networks in the oomycete genome.

PLoS ONE, 2009
Complex enzymes with multiple catalytic activities are hypothesized to have evolved from more primitive precursors. Global analysis of the Phytophthora sojae genome using conservative criteria for evaluation of complex proteins identified 273 novel ...

Effector Repertoire of Phytophthora betacei: In Search of Possible Virulence Factors Responsible for Its Host Specificity

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Phytophthora betacei is an oomycete plant pathogen closely related to Phytophthora infestans. It infects tree tomato (Solanum betaceum) in northern South America, but is, under natural conditions, unable to infect potatoes or tomatoes, the main hosts of ...

Coalescence 2.0: a multiple branching of recent theoretical developments and their applications [PDF]

, 2014
Population genetics theory has laid the foundations for genomics analyses including the recent burst in genome scans for selection and statistical inference of past demographic events in many prokaryote, animal and plant species.
