Map-Based Cloning and Characterization of a Major QTL Gene, FfR1, Which Confers Resistance to Rice Bakanae Disease. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:6214. [PMID: 38892403 PMCID: PMC11172731 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25116214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Bakanae disease (BD), caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium fujikuroi, is a serious threat to rice production worldwide. Breeding elite rice varieties resistant to BD requires the identification of resistance genes. Previously, we discovered a resistant quantitative trait locus (QTL), qFfR1, in a Korean japonica rice variety, Nampyeong. In this study, we fine-mapped qFfR1 with a Junam*4/Nampyeong BC3F3 population and delimited its location to a 37.1 kb region on chromosome 1. Complementation experiments with seven candidate genes in this region revealed that OsI_02728 is the gene for qFfR1. This gene encodes a protein with a typical leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptor-like protein structure. RNA-sequencing-based transcriptomic analysis revealed that FfR1 induces the transcription of defense genes, including lignin and terpenoid biosynthesis genes, pathogenesis-related genes, and thionin genes. These results may facilitate investigations into the molecular mechanisms underlying BD resistance, including molecular patterns of Fusarium fujikuroi interacting with FfR1 and players working in signal transduction pathways downstream of FfR1, and the breeding of new BD-resistant varieties by providing a BD resistance gene with its precise selection marker. This will contribute to efficient control of BD, which is becoming more prevalent according to temperature rises due to climate change.

Abstract
Rice bakaenii disease (RBD) is a widespread and devastating disease mainly caused by Fusarium fujikuroi. Pydiflumetofen (Pyd) is a novel succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) with strong inhibitory activity against F. fujikuroi, but the mechanism of resistance to Pyd has not been well studied for this pathogen. Through fungicide adaption, a total of 12 Pyd-resistant mutants were obtained and the resistance level could be divided into three categories of high resistance (HR), moderate resistance (MR), and low resistance (LR) with resistance factors (RF) of 184.04-672.90, 12.63-42.49, and <10, respectively. Seven genotypes of point mutations in FfSdh genes (FfSdhBH248L, FfSdhBH248D, FfSdhBH248Y, FfSdhC2A83V, FfSdhC2H144Y, FfSdhDS106F, and FfSdhDE166K) were found in these mutants, among which genotype FfSdhBH248L and FfSdhC2A83V mutants showed HR, genotype FfSdhBH248D, FfSdhBH248Y, FfSdhC2H144Y, and FfSdhDE166K mutants showed MR, and genotype FfSdhDS106F mutants showed LR. Moreover, all the substitutions of amino acid point mutations including FfSdhBH248L/D/Y, FfSdhC2A83V,H144Y, and FfSdhDS106F,E166K conferring resistance to Pyd in F. fujikuroi were verified by protoplast transformation. Additionally, a positive cross-resistance was detected between Pyd and another SDHI fungicide penflufen, while no cross-resistance was detected between Pyd and phenamacril, prochloraz, azoxystrobin, carbendazim, or fludioxonil. Although pathogenicity of the mutants was increased compared with that of the wild-type parental strains, the mycelial growth rate and spore production levels of the resistant mutants were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), indicating significant fitness cost of resistance to Pyd in F. fujikuroi. Taken together, the risk of resistance to Pyd in F. fujikuroi might be moderate, and appropriate precautions against resistance development in natural populations should be taken into account when Pyd is used for the control of RBD.

Abstract
Fusarium fujikuroi is one of the dominant phytopathogenic fungi causing rice bakanae disease worldwide. Cyclobutrifluram is a novel succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI), which shows strong inhibitory activity against F. fujikuroi. The baseline sensitivity of 112 F. fujikuroi to cyclobutrifluram was determinated with a mean EC50 value of 0.025 μg/mL. A total of 17 resistant mutants were obtained by fungicide adaptation and displayed equal or slightly weaker fitness than parental isolates, which suggests that the resistance risk of F. fujikuroi to cyclobutrifluram is medium. A positive cross-resistance was detected between cyclobutrifluram and fluopyram. The amino acid substitutions H248L/Y of FfSdhB and G80R or A83V of FfSdhC2 conferred cyclobutrifluram resistance in F. fujikuroi, which was validated by molecular docking and protoplast transformation. The results indicate that the affinity between cyclobutrifluram and FfSdhs obviously decreased after point mutations, causing the resistance of F. fujikuroi.

Abstract
Rice bakanae disease, caused by Fusarium fujikuroi, is a destructive seed-borne disease throughout the world. Prochloraz, a DMI (C-14α-demethylase inhibitor) fungicide, has been registered in China for >20 years. Prochloraz resistance in F. fujikuroi was severe in China with resistance frequencies of 34.56%, 45.33%, and 48.45% from 2019 to 2021. The fitness of prochloraz-resistant population was lower than that of sensitive population, with an average CFI of 2.86 × 106 and 4.56 × 106, respectively. No cross-resistance was detected between prochloraz and tebuconazole or hexaconazole, and the prochloraz-resistant isolates were still sensitive to fludioxonil, phenamacril, and pydiflumetofen. S312T mutation in Ffcyp51b or overexpression of Ffcyp51a and Ffcyp51b was detected in the highly resistant isolates. AS-PCR primers were designed to detect the prochloraz-resistant isolates with S312T mutation in the field. Resistant isolates carrying S312T mutation were the dominant group in prochloraz-resistant population with frequencies of 43.26%, 23.59%, and 71.20% from 2019 to 2021, which indicated that more attention should be paid to this genotype when monitoring and managing the prochloraz resistance in F. fujikuroi.

Abstract
Rice is an important nutrient staple for much of the Turkish population. In this study, field surveys were carried out to collect isolates of Fusarium andiyazi, a member of the Fusarium fujikuroi species complex (FFSC) associated with Bakanae disease. As part of the study, morphological and microscopic features of Fusarium andiyazi isolates recovered from infected rice plants were determined. The molecular detection of F. andiyazi was carried out through PCR analysis of partial translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF-1α) gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. Gib2 and Fgc primers were used for specific detection of strain of FFSC. In the phylogenetic analysis, using the sequences of the partial TEF-1α gene, F. andiyazi were clustered in the same branch with the reference isolates. The pathogenicity tests revealed that the isolates of F. andiyazi were pathogen on susceptible Baldo cultivar under room climate conditions. The disease severity ranged from 3.27% to 86.30%. The pathogen causes typical disease symptoms associated with Bakanae and mostly inhibited seed germination, while most of the isolates caused abnormal elongation compared to the control plants. This is the first report of presence of F. andiyazi causing Bakanae disease on rice in Turkey.

Abstract
Fungal contamination is a threat to food safety in West Africa with implications for food and feed due to their climate, which is characterised by high temperatures and high relative humidity, which are environmental favourable for fast fungal growth and mycotoxin production. This report gives perspective on studies on toxigenic fungi (Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium) and their toxins, mainly aflatoxins, fumonisins and ochratoxins commonly found in some West African countries, including Benin, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo. Only four of these countries have mycotoxins regulations in place for feeds and food products (Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Senegal). Food commodities that are widely consumed and were thoroughly investigated in this region include cereals, peanuts, cassava chips (flakes), cassava flour, chilies, peanuts, locust beans, melon, and yam products. In conclusion, authorities and scientists needed to consider research and approaches to monitor mycotoxins in foods and feeds produced and consumed in West Africa.

Abstract
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is among the main oleaginous crops used in Brazil. During January, 2017, at CCA/UFPB laboratory and greenhouses (Areia/Brazil, 6°58'12″ S; 35°42'15″ W), we observed various sunflower seeds (cultivar Olisun 3, 2017-2018 crop) highly infested with Fusarium. Those seeds were from crops in the municipality of Alagoinha -PB/Brazil (06º57'00'' S; 35º32'42'' W), supplied by Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária/EMBRAPA. The emerged seedlings from these seeds were also contaminated, with 5% to 26% of them exhibiting stunting and malformation. Fusarium strains were isolated from symptomatic plants, and a single spore was used to grow pure colonies on potato-dextrose-agar (PDA) and synthetic-nutrient-poor-agar (SNA) media. Mycelia of PDA colonies were floccous and dense varying from yellow to orange. Fungal colonies developed aerial mycelium, producing orange pigments. On SNA, hyaline macroconidia, measuring 2.9-4.1 x 32.4-65.0 μm, slightly falcate with three to six septa. Oval microconidia, measuring 2.4-3.6 x 5.1-9.0 μm, were abundant in false heads forming on monophyalides. Chlamydospores were absent. Sterile hyphae were rarely formed. Colectively, the morphological features corresponded to species that belong to the Fusarium fujikuroi species complex (Leslie & Summerell, 2006). To assure the species identity, we sequenced the elongation factor 1α region of two representative isolates (i.e., F2 and F3, GenBank access numbers: MZ666934 and MZ666935, respectively) and compared them to the other Fusarium species found at Fusarium-ID and GenBank databases. Subsequently, we performed a maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis including previously published sequences (Nicolli et al., 2020). Both isolates exhibited 100% similarity with Fusarium pseudocircinatum (MN386745), and clustered with its ex-type at 100% bootstrap values. The isolates were then grown on PDA amended with manitol to adjust the osmotic pressure to -1.0 Mpa, at 25 ± 2 ° C, for seven days (Sousa et al., 2008). A total of 100 disinfested sunflower seeds (cultivar Olisun 3, 2018-2019 crop) were distributed over the colonies and 48h later they were sown on sterile substrate maintained inside a greenhouse. About 30 days after inoculation, the emerged plants exhibited symptoms of stunting and malformation (60%) compared to controls, which were healthy. F. pseudocircinatum was reisolated from the symptomatic plants, completing Koch's postulates and identified based on above morphological and molecular biological methods. This test was performed twice. Fusarium pseudocircinatum is a broadly distributed and ecologicaly diverse species that infects several wild and cultivated plants. For instance, it was reported on seeds of the wild 'Peroba Rosa' (Aspidosperma polyneuron Muell. Arg.) in Brazil (Mazarotto et al. 2020). Infection of sunflowers may cause plant stand failures, thus resulting in yield and economic losses for Brazilian growers. The correct identification of any pathogen, especialy a generalist one such as F. pseudocircinatum, is crucial to develop eficient management strategies. To our best knowledge, this is the first report of F. pseudocircinatum causing stunting and malformation of sunflower plants in Brazil.

Abstract
l-asparaginase is an enzyme used as treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) due to its ability to hydrolyze l-asparagine, an essential amino acid synthesized by normal cells unlike neoplastic cells. The adverse effects of l-asparaginase formulations are associated with its glutaminase activity and bacterial origin; therefore, it is important to find new sources of l-asparaginase-producing eukaryotic microorganisms with low glutaminase activity. This work evaluated the biotechnological potential of filamentous fungi isolated from Brazilian Savanna soil and plants for l-asparaginase production. Thirty-nine isolates were screened for enzyme production using the plate assay, followed by measuring enzymatic activity in cells after submerged fermentation. The variables influencing l-asparaginase production were evaluated using Plackett-Burman design. Cell disruption methods were evaluated for l-asparaginase release. Penicillium sizovae 2DSST1 and Fusarium proliferatum DCFS10 showed the highest l-asparaginase activity levels and the lowest glutaminase activity levels. Penicillium sizovae l-asparaginase was repressed by carbon sources, whereas higher carbon concentrations enhanced l-asparaginase by F. proliferatum. Maximum enzyme productivity, specific enzyme yield and the biomass conversion factor in the enzyme increased after Plackett-Burman design. Freeze-grinding released 5-fold more l-asparaginase from cells than sonication. This study shows two species, which have not yet been reported, as sources of l-asparaginase with possible reduced immunogenicity for ALL therapy.

J Fungi (Basel) 2021; 7:635.

Abstract
Grains and cassava-based foods serve as major dietary sources for many households in Nigeria. However, these foods are highly prone to contamination by moulds and aflatoxins owing to poor storage and vending practices. Therefore, we studied the fungal diversity in maize, cassava-based flour (pupuru), and rice vended in markets from Ondo state, Nigeria, and assessed their aflatoxin levels using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Molecular analysis of 65 representative fungal isolates recovered from the ground grains and pupuru samples revealed 26 species belonging to five genera: Aspergillus (80.9%), Penicillium (15.4%), and Talaromyces (1.9%) in the Ascomycota; Syncephalastrum (1.2%) and Lichtheimia (0.6%) in Mucoromycota. Aspergillus flavus was the predominant species in the ground grains and pupuru samples. Aflatoxins were found in 73.8% of the 42 representative food samples and 41.9% exceeded the 10 μg/kg threshold adopted in Nigeria for total aflatoxins.

Abstract
Fusarium species are important seedborne pathogens that cause rice bakanae disease (RBD). In this study, 421 strains were isolated from 25 rice samples collected from Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangxi provinces of China. Furthermore, 407 isolates were identified as F. fujikuroi (80.05% isolation frequency), F. proliferatum (8.31%), F. equiseti (5.94%), F. incarnatum (2.61%), F. andiyazi (0.95%), and F. asiaticum (0.48%) based on morphology and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1-α) gene. Phylogenetic analysis of combined sequences of the RNA polymerase II largest subunit (RPB1), RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2), TEF1-α gene, and ribosomal DNA (rDNA) internal transcribed spacer (ITS) showed that 17 representative strains were attributed to six species. Pathogenicity tests showed that representative isolates possessed varying ability to cause symptoms of bakanae on rice seedlings. Moreover, the seed germination assay revealed that six isolates had different effects, such as inhibition of seed germination, as well as seed and bud rot. The loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)-based assay were developed for the detection of F. fujikuroi. According to sequences of desaturase-coding gene promoter, a species-specific marker desM231 was developed for the detection of F. fujikuroi. The LAMP assay using seeds collected from field was validated, and diagnostics developed are efficient, rapid, and sensitive.
