MYCOBIOLOGY 2022; 50:269-293. [PMID: 36404903 PMCID: PMC9645277 DOI: 10.1080/12298093.2022.2136333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2022] [Revised: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
Oomycete pathogens that belong to the genus Phytophthora cause devastating diseases in solanaceous crops such as pepper, potato, and tobacco, resulting in crop production losses worldwide. Although the application of fungicides efficiently controls these diseases, it has been shown to trigger negative side effects such as environmental pollution, phytotoxicity, and fungicide resistance in plant pathogens. Therefore, biological control of Phytophthora-induced diseases was proposed as an environmentally sound alternative to conventional chemical control. In this review, progress on biological control of the soilborne oomycete plant pathogens, Phytophthora capsici, Phytophthora infestans, and Phytophthora nicotianae, infecting pepper, potato, and tobacco is described. Bacterial (e.g., Acinetobacter, Bacillus, Chryseobacterium, Paenibacillus, Pseudomonas, and Streptomyces) and fungal (e.g., Trichoderma and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi) agents, and yeasts (e.g., Aureobasidium, Curvibasidium, and Metschnikowia) have been reported as successful biocontrol agents of Phytophthora pathogens. These microorganisms antagonize Phytophthora spp. via antimicrobial compounds with inhibitory activities against mycelial growth, sporulation, and zoospore germination. They also trigger plant immunity-inducing systemic resistance via several pathways, resulting in enhanced defense responses in their hosts. Along with plant protection, some of the microorganisms promote plant growth, thereby enhancing their beneficial relations with host plants. Although the beneficial effects of the biocontrol microorganisms are acceptable, single applications of antagonistic microorganisms tend to lack consistent efficacy compared with chemical analogues. Therefore, strategies to improve the biocontrol performance of these prominent antagonists are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Tagatose is a rare sugar that suppresses plant diseases, such as late blight of tomato, caused by Phytophthora infestans. Tagatose can be metabolized by some microorganisms and no information is available on its persistence on tomato leaves. The aim of this study was to assess the persistence of tagatose on tomato leaves under commercial greenhouse conditions. The amount of tagatose on tomato leaves and the inhibitory activity against P. infestans decreased seven days after spray application in the absence of rain wash-off. Potential tagatose-degrading bacteria were isolated from tomato leaves, and they belonged to Acinetobacter sp., Bacillus sp., Comamonas sp., Enterobacter sp., Methylobacterium sp., Microbacterium sp., Pantoea sp., Plantibacter sp., Pseudomonas sp., Ralstonia sp., Rhodococcus sp., Sphingobium sp., and Sphingomonas sp. Thus, indigenous phyllosphere microorganisms could partially metabolize tagatose laid on plant leaves after spray application, reducing the persistence of this fungal inhibitor on tomato leaves.

Abstract
Potato late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans is a destructive disease in Korea. To elucidate the genomic variation of the mitochondrial (mt) genome, we assembled its complete mt genome and compared its sequence among different haplotypes. The mt genome sequences of four Korean P. infestans isolates were revealed by Illumina HiSeq. The size of the circular mt genome of the four major genotypes, KR_1_A1, KR_2_A2, SIB-1, and US-11, was 39,872, 39,836, 39,872, and 39,840 bp, respectively. All genotypes contained the same 61 genes in the same order, comprising two RNA-encoding genes, 16 ribosomal genes, 25 transfer RNA, 17 genes encoding electron transport and ATP synthesis, 11 open reading frames of unknown function, and one protein import-related gene, tatC. The coding region comprised 91% of the genome, and GC content was 22.3%. The haplotypes were further analyzed based on sequence polymorphism at two hypervariable regions (HVRi), carrying a 2 kb insertion/deletion sequence, and HVRii, carrying 36 bp variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs). All four genotypes carried the 2 kb insertion/deletion sequence in HVRi, whereas HVRii had two VNTRs in KR_1_A1 and SIB-1 but three VNTRs in US-11 and KR_2_A2. Minimal spanning network and phylogenetic analysis based on 5,814 bp of mtDNA sequences from five loci, KR_1_A1 and SIB-1 were classified as IIa-6 haplotype, and isolates KR_1_A2 and US-11 as haplotypes IIa-5 and IIb-2, respectively. mtDNA sequences of KR_1_A1 and SIB-1 shared 100% sequence identity, and both were 99.9% similar to those of KR_2_A2 and US-11.

Abstract
The yield and quality of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) is seriously affected by Phytophthora infestans. The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) Sl-lncRNA39896 is induced after P. infestans infection and was previously predicted to act as an endogenous target mimic (eTM) for the microRNA Sl-miR166b, which function in stress responses. Here, we further examined the role of Sl-lncRNA39896 and Sl-miR166b in tomato resistance to P. infestans. Sl-miR166b levels were higher in Sl-lncRNA39896-knockout mutants than in wild-type plants, and the mutants displayed enhanced resistance to P. infestans. A six-point mutation in the region of Sl-lncRNA39896 that binds to Sl-miR166b disabled the interaction, suggesting that Sl-lncRNA39896 acts as an eTM for Sl-miR166b. Overexpressing Sl-miR166b yielded a similar phenotype to that produced by Sl-lncRNA39896-knockout, whereas silencing of Sl-miR166b impaired resistance. We verified that Sl-miR166b cleaved transcripts of its target class III homeodomain-leucine zipper genes SlHDZ34 and SlHDZ45. Silencing of SlHDZ34/45 decreased pathogen accumulation in plants infected with P. infestans. Additionally, jasmonic acid and ethylene contents were elevated following infection in the plants with enhanced resistance. Sl-lncRNA39896 is the first known lncRNA to negatively regulate resistance to P. infestans in tomato. We propose a novel mechanism in which the lncRNA39896-miR166b-HDZ module modulates resistance to P. infestans.

Abstract
Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) are one of the most important crops worldwide. However, its production and nutrient content are endangered by both biotic and abiotic stresses. The main yield losses are caused by pest damage (e.g., Colorado potato beetle and aphids), virus disease (e.g., Potato leafroll virus and Potato viruses Y and X), or oomycete pathogens (like Phytophthora infestans), which also significantly affect the production of antinutrients and toxic metabolites of plants. Therefore, the use of genetic engineering could be an efficient tool, not harmful to the environment, and beneficial to the consumer. In this review, we focus on the main sources of problems in the field of potato production according to approved genetic modifications, their traditional solution and positive impact of gene transfection reducing economic losses, use of insecticides, and improving the nutritional properties of potatoes. We summarize all transgenic events that have been performed on potatoes and have been approved for cultivation and/or direct use or processing as feed or food.

Abstract
Engineered nanoparticles have recently been used for innovation in agricultural disease management. However, both the toxicity effects and mechanisms of nanoparticles in target pathogens and their host plants are still largely unknown. Here, we found that magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs) could protect potatoes against Phytophthora infestans (P. infestans) at a low dosage (50 μg/mL). Through scanning electron microscopy observation, antioxidant enzymes activity measurement, and gene transcriptome analysis, we found that the cell surfaces of P. infestans were destroyed, endogenous superoxide dismutase continuously remained in a higher active state, oxidoreductase activity-related gene ontology (GO) terms were enriched with upregulation, and transporter-activity related GO terms and six essential metabolism-related pathways were enriched with downregulation in P. infestans after 30 min MgO NPs treatment, whereas only 89 genes were changed without enriched GO and pathways terms, and no change in antioxidant activities and phenylalnine ammonialyase in potato appeared at 6 h post-MgO NPs treatment. Only the "plant hormone signal transduction pathway" was enriched with upregulation under differential expression analysis in potatoes. In conclusion, cell surface distortion, continuous oxidative stress, and inhibitions of membrane transport activity and metabolic pathways were toxic mechanisms of Mg ONPs in P. infestans, and the "plant hormone signal transduction pathway" was potentially regulated by Mg-ONPs without obviously harmful effects on potato after Mg ONPs exposure.

Abstract
Late blight disease, caused by the plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans, is one of the major threats for tomato and potato crops. Monitoring the populations of P. infestans is important to determine if there are changes in the sensitivity to fungicides and host preference. In this study, microsatellite markers and mitochondrial haplotypes were used to assess the genotype of isolates of P. infestans collected from tomato and potato plants in Colombia. Furthermore, sensitivity to the three fungicides cymoxanil (penetrant fungicide), mefenoxam, and fluopicolide (systemic fungicides), and tomato-potato host preference, were evaluated. Mitochondrial haplotyping showed that isolates collected on tomato were from the genetic groups Ia and Ib, while isolates collected on potatoes belonged to group IIa. Microsatellite analyses showed that isolates from tomato form two groups, including the Ib mitochondrial haplotype (which is genetically close to the US-1 clonal lineage) and the Ia haplotype (related to the EC-3 lineage), whereas Colombian isolates from potato formed a separate group. Furthermore, differences in sensitivity to fungicides were observed. Eighty-one percent of the isolates tested were resistant to mefenoxam with an EC50 >10 μg ml-1. Forty-two percent of the isolates showed an intermediate resistance to cymoxanil. The EC50 values ranged between 1 and 10 μg ml-1. For fluopicolide, 90% of the isolates were sensitive, with EC50 <1 μg ml-1. Host preference assays showed that potato isolates infected both host species. Thus, isolates that infect potatoes may pose a risk for tomato crops nearby.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phytophthora infestans is a late blight-causing oomycetes pathogen. It rapidly evolves and adapts to the host background and new fungicide molecules within a few years of their release, most likely because of the predominance of transposable elements in its genome. Frequent applications of fungicides cause environmental concerns. Here, we developed target-specific RNA interference (RNAi)-based molecules, along with nanoclay carriers, that when sprayed on plants are capable of effectively reducing late blight infection. RESULTS Targeted the genes unique to sporulation, early satge infection and the metabolism pathway stages based on in an our own microarray data. We used nanoclay as a carrier for sorbitol dehydrogenase, heat shock protein 90, translation elongation factor 1-α, phospholipase-D like 3 and glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored acidic serine-threonine-rich HAM34-like protein double-stranded (ds)RNAs, which were assessed by culture bioassay, detached leaf assay and spray methods, and revealed a reduction in growth, sporulation and symptom expression. Plants sprayed with multigene targeted dsRNA-nanoclay showed enhanced disease resistance (4% disease severity) and less sporulation (<1 × 103 ) compared with plants sprayed with dsRNA alone. CONCLUSION The use of nanoclay with multigene targeted dsRNA was assumed to be involved in effective delivery, protection and boosting the action of RNAi as a spray-induced gene silencing approach (SIGS). A significant reduction in growth, sporulation, disease severity and decreased gene expression authenticates the effects of SIGS on late blight progression. This study demonstrated as a proof of concept the dsRNA-nanoclay SIGS approach, which could be used as an alternative to chemical fungicides and transgenic approaches to develop an environmentally friendly novel plant protection strategy for late blight. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Late blight (LB) caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans is one of the most important biotic constraints for potato production worldwide. This study assessed 508 accessions (79 wild potato species and 429 landraces from a cultivated core collection) held at the International Potato Center genebank for resistance to LB. One P. infestans isolate belonging to the EC-1 lineage, which is currently the predominant type of P. infestans in Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia, was used in whole plant assays under greenhouse conditions. Novel sources of resistance to LB were found in accessions of Solanum albornozii, S. andreanum, S. lesteri, S. longiconicum, S. morelliforme, S. stenophyllidium, S. mochiquense, S. cajamarquense, and S. huancabambense. All of these species are endemic to South America and thus could provide novel sources of resistance for potato breeding programs. We found that the level of resistance to LB in wild species and potato landraces cannot be predicted from altitude and bioclimatic variables of the locations where the accessions were collected. The high percentage (73%) of potato landraces susceptible to LB in our study suggests the importance of implementing disease control measures, including planting susceptible genotypes in less humid areas and seasons or switching to genotypes identified as resistant. In addition, this study points out a high risk of genetic erosion in potato biodiversity at high altitudes of the Andes due to susceptibility to LB in the native landraces, which has been exacerbated by climatic change that favors the development of LB in those regions.[Formula: see text] Copyright © 2022 The Author(s).

Abstract
Plant pathogens such as Phytophthora infestans that caused the Irish Potato Famine continue to threaten local and global food security. Genetic and chemical plant protection measures are often overcome by adaptation of pathogen population structures. Therefore, there is a constant demand for new, consumer- and environment-friendly plant protection strategies. Metabolic alterations induced by P. infestans in the foliage and tubers of six different potato cultivars were investigated. Using a combination of untargeted metabolomics, isolation techniques, and structure elucidation by MS and 1D/2D-NMR experiments, five steroidal glycoalkaloids, five oxylipins, and four steroidal saponins were identified. As the steroidal saponins showed antioomycete but no hemolytic activity, they may thus be considered as probably safe target substances for enrichment in breeding programs for disease resistance and as chemical lead structures for the production of nature-derived synthetic antioomycetes.

Abstract
Using late blight resistance genes targeting conservative effectors of Phytophthora infestans and the constructing gene pyramids may lead to durable, broad-spectrum resistance, which could be accelerated through genetic engineering. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important food crops worldwide. In 2020, potato production was estimated to be more than 359 million tons according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Potato is affected by many pathogens, among which Phytophthora infestans, causing late blight, is of the most economic importance. Crop protection against late blight requires intensive use of fungicides, which has an impact on the environment and humans. Therefore, new potato cultivars have been bred using resistance genes against P. infestans (Rpi genes) that originate from wild relatives of potato. Such programmes were initiated 100 years ago, but the process is complex and long. The development of genetic engineering techniques has enabled the direct transfer of resistance genes from potato wild species to cultivars and easier pyramiding of multiple Rpi genes, which potentially increases the durability and spectrum of potato resistance to rapidly evolving P. infestans strains. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge concerning Rpi genes. We also discuss the use of Rpi genes in breeding as well as their detection in existing potato cultivars. Last, we review new sources of Rpi genes and new methods used to identify them and discuss interactions between P. infestans and host.

Abstract
Late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans brings huge economic losses to the production of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) every year. F-box proteins participate in plants response to phytohormones and biotic stress, whereas as the largest subfamily of F-box superfamily, the detailed information about F-box associated (SlFBA) family in tomato has been rarely reported. In this study, a total of 46 tomato FBA genes were identified based on the latest genome annotation. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the FBA proteins from tomato and 6 different plant species were clustered into 7 distinct clades. The SlFBA genes were unevenly distributed on 11 chromosomes of tomato, mainly concentrated in the regions with high gene density. Tandem duplications and purification selection contribute to the expansion and evolution of the SlFBA gene family. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the SlFBA genes were differentially expressed in different tissues with obvious tissue-specific expression patterns. There were 18 SlFBA genes differentially expressed in P. infestans-resistant and -susceptible tomato, among which, 3 SlFBA genes might play positive roles in tomato resistance to P. infestans. Taken together, this study systematically analyzed the SlFBA genes family for the first time and identified the candidate SlFBA genes that affect tomato resistance to P. infestans, which provided important genetic and breeding resources for improving tomato resistance to pathogens.

Abstract
Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of late blight disease of potatoes, is mainly controlled by the use of fungicides. Isolates that are resistant to commonly used fungicides have been reported. Also, several studies show that originally mefenoxam-sensitive isolates acquire resistance to this fungicide when exposed to sublethal concentrations. This phenomenon, termed "mefenoxam-acquired resistance," has been observed in different Phytophthora species and seems to be unique to mefenoxam. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanism mediating this type of resistance as well as a possible regulatory process behind it. A combination of computational analyses and experimental approaches was used to identify differentially expressed genes with a potential association to the phenomenon. These genes were classified into seven functional groups. Most of them seem to be associated with a pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) phenotype, typically involved in the expulsion of diverse metabolites, drugs, or other substances out of the cell. Despite the importance of RNA Polymerase I for the constitutive resistance of P. infestans to mefenoxam, our results indicate no clear interaction between this protein and the acquisition of mefenoxam resistance. Several small non-coding RNAs were found to be differentially expressed and specifically related to genes mediating the PDR phenotype, thus suggesting a possible regulatory process. We propose a model of the molecular mechanisms acting within the cell when P. infestans acquires resistance to mefenoxam after exposed to sublethal concentrations of the fungicide. This study provides important insights into P. infestans' cellular and regulatory functionalities.

Abstract
Fluoxapiprolin is a new oxysterol binding protein inhibitor (OSBPI), which showed excellent inhibitory activity to plant pathogenic oomycetes. Its resistance risk and mechanism in Phytophthora infestans are unclear. In the current study, the sensitivities of 103 P. infestans isolates to fluoxapiprolin were investigated, and a unimodal distribution with a mean EC50 value of 0.00035 μg/mL was observed. Four types of resistant mutants, with a resistance factor from 14 to more than 1000, and point mutations S768I+N837I, S768I+L860I, S768I, and I877F in PiORP1, were acquired using fungicide adaption. The fitness of the mutants was similar to or lower than that of the corresponding parental isolate. Positive cross-resistance was detected between fluoxapiprolin and oxathiapiprolin. The point mutations were verified in P. sojae homologue positions using the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system. Transformants containing S768I+N837I or S768I+L860I, showed high fluoxapiprolin resistance (RF > 1000). In conclusion, the risk of P. infestans resistance to fluoxapiprolin is moderate, and novel point mutation types S768I+N837I or S768I+L860I could cause high fluoxapiprolin resistance in P. infestans.

Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans (P. infestans), is a devastating plant disease. P. infestans genome encodes hundreds of effectors, complicating the interaction between the pathogen and its host and making it difficult to understand the interaction mechanisms. In this study, the late blight-resistant potato cultivar Ziyun No.1 and the susceptible potato cultivar Favorita were infected with P. infestans isolate SCPZ16-3-1 to investigate the global expression profiles during the compatible and incompatible interactions using dual RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Most of the expressed Arg-X-Leu-Arg (RXLR) effector genes were suppressed during the first 24 h of infection, but upregulated after 24 h. Moreover, P. infestans induced more specifically expressed genes (SEGs), including RXLR effectors and cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs)-encoding genes, in the compatible interaction. The resistant potato activated a set of biotic stimulus responses and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis SEGs, including kirola-like protein, nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR), disease resistance, and kinase genes. Conversely, the susceptible potato cultivar upregulated more kinase, pathogenesis-related genes than the resistant cultivar. This study is the first study to characterize the compatible and incompatible interactions between P. infestans and different potato cultivars and provides the genome-wide expression profiles for RXLR effector, CWDEs, NBS-LRR protein, and kinase-encoding genes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxathiapiprolin is a piperidinyl thiazole isoxazoline fungicide discovered by DuPont and commercialized by Corteva Agriscience. It acts by inhibiting a novel fungal target, an oxysterol binding protein (OSBP), and is intrinsically highly active against oomycetes including grape downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and potato late blight (Phytophthora infestans). Because the fungicide acts at a single site there is a need to determine the risk of resistance development. RESULTS Oxathiapiprolin controlled European Plasmopara viticola and Phytophthora infestans isolates at very low concentrations with half maximal effective concentration (EC50 ) values ranging from 0.001 to 0.0264 mg L-1 and 0.001 to 0.03 mg L-1 , respectively. Laboratory mutagenesis studies performed with Phytophthora capsici using ultraviolet (UV) irradiation generated mutants with reduced sensitivity to oxathiapiprolin. All resistant mutants had a base pair change in the OSBP gene that resulted in an amino acid change. Most common substitutions were S768Y, G770V, G839W and L863W. Isolates of Plasmopara viticola and Phytophthora infestans with reduced sensitivity were also detected in field trial sites where oxathiapiprolin had been applied repeatedly each season over several consecutive years. CONCLUSIONS The risk of oxathiapiprolin resistance development in Plasmopara viticola and Phytophthora infestans is medium to high and strict resistance management measures are required. Over-exposure of target populations to single-site fungicides during product development should be avoided.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION During the arms race between plants and pathogens, pathogenesis-related proteins (PR) in host plants play a crucial role in disease resistance, especially PR1. PR1 constitute a secretory peptide family, and their role in plant defense has been widely demonstrated in both hosts and in vitro. However, the mechanisms by which they control host-pathogen interactions and the nature of their targets within the pathogen remain poorly understood. OBJECTIVES The present study was aimed to investigate the anti-oomycete activity of secretory PR1 proteins and elaborate their underlying mechanisms. METHODS This study was conducted in the potato-Phytophthora infestans pathosystem. After being induced by the pathogen infection, the cross-kingdom translocation of secretory PR1 was demonstrated by histochemical assays and western blot, and their targets in P. infestans were identified by yeast-two-hybrid assays, bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays, and co-immunoprecipitation assay. RESULTS The results showed that the expression of secretory PR1-encoding genes was induced during pathogen infection, and the host could deliver PR1 into P. infestans to inhibit its vegetative growth and pathogenicity. The translocated secretory PR1 targeted the subunits of the AMPK kinase complex in P. infestans, thus affecting the AMPK-driven phosphorylation of downstream target proteins, preventing ROS homeostasis, and down-regulating the expression of RxLR effectors. CONCLUSION The results provide novel insights into the molecular function of PR1 in protecting plants against pathogen infection, and uncover a potential target for preventing pre- and post-harvest late blight.

Abstract
Plants recognize molecular patterns unique to a certain group of microbes to induce effective resistance mechanisms. Elicitins are secretory proteins produced by plant pathogenic oomycete genera including Phytophthora and Pythium. Treatment of INF1 (an elicitin produced by P. infestans) induces a series of defense responses in Nicotiana species, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, transient induction of ethylene production, hypersensitive cell death and accumulation of the sesquiterpenoid phytoalexin capsidiol. In this study, we analyzed the expression profiles of N. benthamiana genes after INF1 treatment by RNAseq analysis. Based on their expression patterns, N. benthamiana genes were categorized into 20 clusters and 4,761 (8.3%) out of 57,140 genes were assigned to the clusters for INF1-induced genes. All genes encoding enzymes dedicated to capsidiol production, 5-epi-aristolochene (EA) synthase (NbEAS, 10 copies) and EA dehydrogenase (NbEAH, 6 copies), and some genes for ethylene production, such as 1-aminocyclopropane 1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase (NbACS) and ACC oxidase (NbACO), were significantly upregulated by INF1 treatment. Analysis of NbEAS1 and NbEAS4 promoters revealed that AGACGCC (GCC box-like motif) is the essential cis-element required for INF1-induced expression of NbEAS genes. Given that the GCC box is known to be targeted by ERF (ethylene-responsive factor) transcription factors, we created a complete list of N. benthamiana genes encoding AP2/ERF family transcription factors, and identified 45 out of 337 AP2/ERF genes in the clusters for INF1-induced genes. Among INF1-induced NbERF genes, silencing of NbERF-IX-33 compromised resistance against P. infestans and INF1-induced production of capsidiol. Recombinant NbERF-IX-33 protein can bind to the promoter sequence of NbEAS4, suggesting that NbERF-IX-33 is a transcription factor directly regulating the expression of genes for phytoalexin production.

Abstract
Late blight is one of the most economically important diseases affecting potato and causing a significant loss in yield. The development of transgenic potato plants with enhanced resistance to infection by Phytophthora infestans may represent a possible approach to solving this issue. A comparative study of the leaf response in control potato plants (S.tuberosum L. cultivar Skoroplodnyi), control transgenic plants expressing the reporter gene of thermostable lichenase (transgenic licBM3 line) and transgenic plants expressing cyanobacterial hybrid genes ∆9-acyl-lipid desaturase (transgenic desC lines) and ∆12-acyl-lipid desaturase (transgenic desA lines) to infection with P. infestans has been performed. The expression of desaturase genes in potato plants enhanced their tolerance to potato late blight agents as compared with the control. The lipid peroxidation level raised in the leaves of the control and transgenic desA plants on third day after inoculation with P. infestans zoospores and remained the same in the transgenic desC plants. The number of total phenolic compounds was increased as early as on the second day after infection in all studied variants and continued to remain the same, except for transgenic desC plants. Accumulation of flavonoids, the main components of the potato leaf phenolic complex, raised on the second day in all studied variants, remained unchanged on the third day in the control plants and decreased in most transgenic plants expressing desaturase genes. The results obtained in our study demonstrate that the expression of genes of Δ9- and Δ12-acyl-lipid desaturases in potato plants enhanced their resistance to P. infestans as compared with the control non-transgenic plants due to concomitant accumulation of phenolic compounds, including flavonoids, in the leaves. All these changes were more pronounced in transgenic desC plants, which indicates that the Δ9-acyllipid desaturase gene appears to be a potential inducer of the production of biological antioxidants in plant cells.

Abstract
LncRNAs are widely involved in various biological processes of plants. Recent evidences indicated that lncRNAs could act as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) to adsorb complementary miRNAs in a type of target mimicry, thereby indirectly regulating the target genes of miRNAs. In this study, a lncRNA, lncRNA08489 was identified to be the ceRNA of miR482e-3p in tomato plants. The expression patterns of lncRNA08489 and miR482e-3p showed opposite trends after tomato plants infected with Phytophthora infestans. In tomato leaves overexpressing lncRNA08489 (OE08489), the expression level of miR482e-3p decreased and its target gene, NBS-LRR increased. After infection with P. infestans, the resistance of OE08489 plants was stronger than that of the wild type, and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging ability of OE08489 plants was significantly improved. Taken together, these results indicated that lncRNA08489 acted as a ceRNA to decoy miR482e-3p and regulate the expression of NBS-LRR to enhance tomato resistance through ROS-scavenging system.

Abstract
Plant pathogens cause serious diseases to agricultural crops which lead to food insecurity in the world. To combat plant pathogens, various strategies have been developed including the use of agrochemicals. The overuse of these chemicals is now leading to the pesticide-resistant capability of pathogens. To overcome this problem, modern nanobiotechnology offers the production of alternative nano drugs. In this study, we used Mentha spicata for the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles using the green synthesis method. The synthesis of Fe2O3 NPs was confirmed through various characterizations. UV-Vis analysis detected a characteristic absorbance at the spectral range of 272 nm. The SEM micrographic analysis at various magnifications displayed circular or rod-shaped nanoparticles with a size ranging from 21 to 82 nm. The elemental EDX characterization showed intense peaks with a weight percent of 57, 34.93, and 8.07 for Fe, O, and, Cl respectively. TGA analysis showed that weight loss at 44-182, 500, and 660°C with no further modification indicates the thermal stability of iron oxide nanoparticles. FTIR spectrum of uncalined detects various bands at 3331, 1625, and 1,437 cm-1 for the hydroxyl group. After calcination two bands at 527 and 434 cm-1 were observed for Fe-O. The antimicrobial in vitro study showed maximum growth inhibition of Phytophthora infestans by the concentration of 100 μg ml-1 of Fe2O3-PE and Fe2O3 NPs. Therefore, this study resulted that bio-stable iron oxide nanoparticles can be used as alternative antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
Wild Solanum accessions are a treasured source of resistance against pathogens, including oomycete Phytophthora infestans, causing late blight disease. Here, Solanum pinnatisectum, Solanum tuberosum, and the somatic hybrid between these two lines were analyzed, representing resistant, susceptible, and moderately resistant genotypes, respectively. Proteome and metabolome analyses showed that the infection had the highest impact on leaves of the resistant plant and indicated, among others, an extensive remodeling of the leaf lipidome. The lipidome profiling confirmed an accumulation of glycerolipids, a depletion in the total pool of glycerophospholipids, and showed considerable differences between the lipidome composition of resistant and susceptible genotypes. The analysis of putative resistance markers pinpointed more than 100 molecules that positively correlated with resistance including phenolics and cysteamine, a compound with known antimicrobial activity. Putative resistance protein markers were targeted in an additional 12 genotypes with contrasting resistance to P. infestans. At least 27 proteins showed a negative correlation with the susceptibility including HSP70-2, endochitinase B, WPP domain-containing protein, and cyclase 3. In summary, these findings provide insights into molecular mechanisms of resistance against P. infestans and present novel targets for selective breeding.

Abstract
Biodiversity plays multifaceted roles in societal development and ecological sustainability. In agricultural ecosystems, using biodiversity to mitigate plant diseases has received renewed attention in recent years but our knowledge of the best ways of using biodiversity to control plant diseases is still incomplete. In term of in-crop diversification, it is not clear how genetic diversity per se in host populations interacts with identifiable resistance and other functional traits of component genotypes to mitigate disease epidemics and what is the best way of structuring mixture populations. In this study, we created a series of host populations by mixing different numbers of potato varieties showing different late blight resistance levels in different proportions. The amount of naturally occurring late blight disease in the mixture populations was recorded weekly during the potato growing seasons. The percentage of disease reduction (PDR) in the mixture populations was calculated by comparing their observed late blight levels relative to that expected when they were planted in pure stands. We found that PDR in the mixtures increased as the number of varieties and the difference in host resistance (DHR) between the component varieties increased. However, the level of host resistance in the potato varieties had little impact on PDR. In mixtures involving two varieties, the optimum proportion of component varieties for the best PDR depended on their DHR, with an increasing skewness to one of the component varieties as the DHR between the component varieties increased. These results indicate that mixing crop varieties can significantly reduce disease epidemics in the field. To achieve the best disease mitigation, growers should include as many varieties as possible in mixtures or, if only two component mixtures are possible, increase DHR among the component varieties.

Abstract
Оомицет Рhytophthora infestans Mont. de Bary – основной патоген сельскохозяйственных культур
семейства Пасленовые, особенно картофеля (Solanum tuberosum). С учетом того, что картофель – четвертая культура в мире по масштабам выращивания, ежегодные потери от фитофтороза огромны. Исследования базовых
механизмов взаимодействия между картофелем и возбудителем фитофтороза не только расширяют фундаментальные знания в этой области, но и открывают новые возможности для влияния на эти взаимодействия с целью
повышения резистентности к патогену. Взаимодействие картофеля и возбудителя фитофтороза можно рассматривать с генетической точки зрения, причем интересны как ответ картофеля на процесс колонизации со стороны P. infestans, так и изменение активности генов у фитофторы при заражении растения. Можно исследовать
этот процесс через изменение профиля вторичных метаболитов хозяина и патогена. Помимо фундаментальных
исследований в этой области, не меньшее значение имеют и прикладные работы в виде создания новых препаратов для защиты картофеля. Представленный обзор кратко описывает основные этапы исследований устойчивости картофеля к фитофторозу, начиная с самых первых работ. Большое внимание уделяется ключевым
моментам по изменению профиля вторичных метаболитов (фитоалексинов). Отдельный раздел посвящен описанию как качественных, так количественных признаков устойчивости картофеля к возбудителю фитофтороза:
их вкладу в общую резистентность, картированию и возможности регуляции. Оба вида признаков важны для
селекции картофеля: качественная устойчивость за счет R-генов быстро преодолевается патогеном, в то время
как пирамидирование локусов количественных признаков способствует созданию высокоустойчивых сортов.
Новейшие подходы молекулярной биологии дают возможность изучать и транслятомные профили, что позволяет посмотреть на взаимодействие картофеля и возбудителя фитофтороза. Показано, что процесс колонизации
картофеля отражается не только на активности различных генов и профиле вторичных метаболитов, выявлены
также белки-маркеры ответа на заражение со стороны картофеля – это патоген-зависимые белки и пластидная
углекислая ангидраза. Маркерами заражения от P. infestans были белки грибной целлюлозо-синтазы и гаусторий-специфический мембранный белок. В данном обзоре приведена информация по наиболее актуальным комплексным исследованиям генетических механизмов устойчивости картофеля к фитофторозу.
