PlAtg8-mediated autophagy regulates vegetative growth, sporangial cleavage, and pathogenesis in Peronophythora litchii [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Autophagy is a conserved cellular metabolic process in eukaryotes that transports damaged or redundant intracellular organelles and proteins to lysosomes or vacuoles for degradation and recycling.

Autophagy-related protein PlATG2 regulates the vegetative growth, sporangial cleavage, autophagosome formation, and pathogenicity of peronophythora litchii [PDF]

Virulence
Autophagy is an intracellular degradation process that is important for the development and pathogenicity of phytopathogenic fungi and for the defence response of plants.

Novel protein kinase induced during sporangial cleavage in the oomycete Phytophthora infestans. [PDF]

Eukaryot Cell, 2002
ABSTRACT A study of the effect of inhibitors on zoospore development in Phytophthora infestans demonstrated the involvement of protein kinases and calcium and led to the discovery of a gene induced during zoosporogenesis that encoded a protein resembling Ca +2 - and calmodulin ...

Phagocytosis underpins the biotrophic lifestyle of intracellular parasites in the class Phytomyxea (Rhizaria). [PDF]

New Phytol, 2023
Summary Phytomyxea are intracellular biotrophic parasites infecting plants and stramenopiles, including the agriculturally impactful Plasmodiophora brassicae and the brown seaweed pathogen Maullinia ectocarpii. They belong to the clade Rhizaria, where phagotrophy is the main mode of nutrition.

Regulation of Oomycete Autophagy, Lipid Droplet Accumulation and Pathogenesis by Three Rab GTPases. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol
PlRab6– PlRab8A complex controls growth, virulence and autophagy, while PlRab8B modulates sporulation and virulence via autophagy and LD metabolism in P. litchii. ABSTRACT Among eukaryotes, Rab GTPases are critical for intracellular membrane trafficking and possess various functions.

A CRISPR/Cas9-mediated in situ complementation method for Phytophthora sojae mutants. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol, 2021
A regulatory B‐subunit of protein phosphatase 2A was used to demonstrate an in situ complementation method of a mutated gene in Phytophthora sojae, verifying its roles in hyphal growth, soybean infection, and sporangia production. Abstract Phytophthora sojae is an important model species for oomycete functional genomics research.

AN OVERVIEW OF BRYOPHYTES DIVISION

BioLink, 2021
Bryophyte is a non-vascular plant, consisting of three classes: mosses, hornworts, and liverworts. The body forms have a thallus, and some have a leaf-like organ. The class division of the Bryophyte division is base on anatomical and morphological traits,

Eelgrass (Zostera spp.) associated phytomyxids are host‐specific congeneric parasites and predominant eukaryotes in the eelgrass rhizosphere on a global scale

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 8, Page 1522-1537, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Together with increasing environmental and anthropogenic pressures, pathogenic diseases are one of the important factors contributing to the ongoing decline of seagrass meadows worldwide; yet the diversity and ecology of the microorganisms acknowledged as seagrass parasites remain critically understudied.

Dependence on clade II bHLH transcription factors for nursing of haploid products by tapetal‐like cells is conserved between moss sporangia and angiosperm anthers

New Phytologist, Volume 235, Issue 2, Page 718-731, July 2022., 2022
Summary Clade II basic helix–loop–helix transcription factors (bHLH TFs) are essential for pollen production and tapetal nursing functions in angiosperm anthers. As pollen has been suggested to be related to bryophyte spores by descent, we characterized two Physcomitrium (Physcomitrella) patens clade II bHLH TFs (PpbHLH092 and PpbHLH098), to test if ...
