Abstract
Fusarium crown rot (FCR), mainly caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum, not only seriously threatens the yield and quality of wheat, but also endangers the health and safety of humans and livestock. Piriformospora indica is a root endophytic fungus that colonizes plant roots extensively and can effectively promote plant growth and improve plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, the mechanism of FCR resistance mediated by P. indica in wheat was revealed from the phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway. The results showed that the colonization of P. indica significantly reduced the progression of wheat disease, the amount of F. pseudograminearum colonization, and the content of deoxynivalenol (DON) in wheat roots. RNA-seq suggested that P. indica colonization could reduce the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the transcriptome caused by F. pseudograminearum infection. The DEGs induced by the colonization of P. indica were partially enriched in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. Transcriptome sequencing and qPCR indicated that the colonization of P. indica up-regulated the expression of genes involved in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway. The metabolome analysis indicated that the colonization of P. indica increased the metabolites' accumulation in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. Consistent with transcriptome and metabolomic analysis, microscopic observations showed enhanced lignin accumulation in the roots of the Piri and Piri+Fp lines, most likely contributing to the arrested infection by F. pseudograminearum. These results suggested that P. indica increased resistance to F. pseudograminearum in wheat by inducing the phenylpropanoid pathway.

Abstract
Fusarium crown rot (FCR) and sharp eyespot (SE) are serious soil-borne diseases in wheat and its relatives that have been reported to cause wheat yield losses in many areas. In this study, the expression of a cell wall invertase gene, TaCWI-B1, was identified to be associated with FCR resistance through a combination of bulk segregant RNA sequencing and genome resequencing in a recombinant inbred line population. Two bi-parental populations were developed to further verify TaCWI-B1 association with FCR resistance. Overexpression lines and ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutants revealed TaCWI-B1 positively regulating FCR resistance. Determination of cell wall thickness and components showed that the TaCWI-B1-overexpression lines exhibited considerably increased thickness and pectin and cellulose contents. Furthermore, we found that TaCWI-B1 directly interacted with an alpha-galactosidase (TaGAL). EMS mutants showed that TaGAL negatively modulated FCR resistance. The expression of TaGAL is negatively correlated with TaCWI-B1 levels, thus may reduce mannan degradation in the cell wall, consequently leading to thickening of the cell wall. Additionally, TaCWI-B1-overexpression lines and TaGAL mutants showed higher resistance to SE; however, TaCWI-B1 mutants were more susceptible to SE than controls. This study provides insights into a FCR and SE resistance gene to combat soil-borne diseases in common wheat.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fusarium crown rot (FCR) is a major cereal disease in semi-arid areas worldwide. Of the various QTL reported, the one on chromosome arm 3BL (Qcrs.cpi-3B) has the largest effect that can be consistently detected in different genetic backgrounds. Nine sets of near isogenic lines (NILs) for this locus were made available in a previous study. To identify markers that could be reliably used in tagging the Qcrs.cpi-3B locus, a NIL-derived population consisting of 774 F10 lines were generated and exploited to assess markers selected from the existing linkage map and generated from sequences of the 3B pseudomolecule. RESULTS This is the first report on fine mapping a QTL conferring FCR resistance in wheat. By three rounds of linkage mapping using the NILs and the NIL-derived population, the Qcrs.cpi-3B locus was mapped to an interval of 0.7 cM covering a physical distance of about 1.5 Mb. Seven markers co-segregating with the locus were developed. This interval contains a total of 63 gene-coding sequences based on the 3B pseudomolecule, and six of them were known to encode disease resistance proteins. Several of the genes in this interval were among those responsive to FCR infection detected in an earlier study. CONCLUSIONS The accurate localization of the Qcrs.cpi-3B locus and the development of the markers co-segregating with it should facilitate the incorporation of this large-effect QTL conferring FCR resistance into breeding programs as well as the cloning of the gene(s) underlying the QTL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies in Arabidopsis show that DELLA genes may differentially affect responses to biotrophic and necrophic pathogens. A recent report based on the study of DELLA-producing reduced height (Rht) genes in wheat and barley also hypothesized that DELLA genes likely increased susceptibility to necrotrophs but increased resistance to biotrophs. RESULTS Effects of uzu, a non-GA (gibberellic acid)-responsive semi-dwarfing gene, on Fusarium crown rot (FCR) resistance in barley were investigated. Fifteen pairs of near isogenic lines for this gene were generated and assessed under two different temperature regimes. Similar to its impacts on plant height, the semi-dwarfing gene uzu also showed larger effects on FCR severity in the high temperature regime when compared with that in the low temperature regime. CONCLUSIONS Results from this study add to the growing evidence showing that the effects of plant height on Fusarium resistances are unlikely related to DELLA genes but due to direct or indirect effects of height difference per se. The interaction between these two characteristics highlights the importance of understanding relationships between resistance and other traits of agronomic importance as the value of a resistance gene could be compromised if it dramatically affects plant development and morphology.
