摘要：
In this study, a novel mitovirus designed "Colletotrichum higginsianum mitovirus 1" (ChMV1) was isolated from the phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum higginsianum. The genome of this mitovirus is 2,893 nt in length with an A + U content of 61% and contains a large open reading frame (ORF) encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). A BLASTp analysis revealed that the RdRp domain of ChMV1 had 30.25% to 61.72% sequence identity to those of members of the genus Mitovirus and showed the highest degree of similarity (61.72% identity) to Botrytis cinerea mitovirus 3 (BcMV3). Phylogenetic analysis further indicated that ChMV1 is a member in the genus Mitovirus of the family Mitoviridae. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a mitovirus in C. higginsianum.
摘要：
A novel virus, Botryosphaeria dothidea bipartite mycovirus 1 (BdBMV1), was isolated from the plant-pathogenic fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea strain HNDT1, and the complete nucleotide sequence of its genome was determined. BdBMV1 consists of two genomic segments. The first segment is 1,976 bp in length and contains a single open reading frame (ORF) encoding the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) (68.95 kDa). The second segment is 1,786 bp in length and also contains a single ORF encoding a hypothetical protein of 35.19 kDa of unknown function. Based on the sequence of its RdRp, BdBMV1 is phylogenetically related to several other unclassified dsRNA mycoviruses, including Cryphonectria parasitica bipartite mycovirus 1 (CpBV1), and has a distant relationship to members of the family Partitiviridae.
摘要：
Here, a novel mycovirus, Botryosphaeria dothidea mitovirus 1 (BdMV1), was isolated from a phytopathogenic fungus, Botryosphaeria dothidea, and its molecular characteristics were determined. BdMV1 has a genome of 2,667 nt that contains a single large open reading frame (ORF) using the fungal mitochondrial genetic code. The ORF encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of 727 amino acids with a molecular mass of 81.64 kDa. BLASTp analysis revealed that the RdRp domain of BdMV1 has 39.59% and 39.18% sequence identity to Plasmopara viticola associated mitovirus 43 and Setosphaeria turcica mitovirus 1, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis further suggested that BdMV1 is a new member of the genus Mitovirus within the family Mitoviridae. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a mitovirus in B. dothidea.

摘要：
Rice blast, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, can result in notable yield losses in rice production. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of a rice endophytic isolate, Streptomyces albidoflavus OsiLf-2, on the control of rice blast and the possible mechanisms involved. In vitro assays displayed a variety of antagonistic effects of OsiLf-2 against different physiological races of M. oryzae, with peak mycelial growth inhibition ranging from 74.1% to 83.0%. In vivo tests of OsiLf-2 showed 18.0% and 19.6% reduction in disease index in greenhouse and field conditions, respectively. The stable active metabolites in its cell-free culture filtrate inhibited the mycelial growth, spore germination and appressorial formation of M. oryzae in a dose-dependent manner. They also possessed strong antifungal capacities toward various phytopathogens in vitro. OsiLf-2 secreted multiple antimicrobial compounds, cell wall degradation enzymes, siderophore, plant hormones, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase, which might function in direct or indirect resistance to M. oryzae. In addition, a variety of defence responses were induced in OsiLf-2-treated rice, including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) accumulation, callose deposition, defence-related enzymes activation, and elevated expression of salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) pathways genes, which might contribute in resisting pathogen attack. The significant biological control activity and host defence-stimulation ability of OsiLf-2 suggest that this endophytic actinobacterial strain could be a promising candidate in the management of rice blast disease.
摘要：
Three dsRNAs, in sizes of approximately 2.5(-)5 kbp, were detected in the plant pathogenic fungus Nigrospora oryzae strain CS-7.5-4. Genomic analysis showed that the 5.0 kb dsRNA was a victorivirus named as Nigrospora oryzae victorivirus 2 (NoRV2). The genome of NoRV2 was 5166 bp in length containing two overlapping open reading frames (ORFs), ORF1 and ORF2. ORF1 was deduced to encode a coat protein (CP) showing homology to the CPs of viruses belonging to the Totiviridae family. The stop codon of ORF1 and the start codon of ORF2 were overlapped by the tetranucleotide sequence AUGA. ORF2 was predicted to encode an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), which was highly similar to the RdRps of victoriviruses. Virus-like particle examination demonstrated that the genome of NoRV2 was solely encapsidated by viral particles with a diameter of approximately 35 nm. The other two dsRNAs that were less than 3.0 kb were predicted to be the genomes of two mitoviruses, named as Nigrospora oryzae mitovirus 1 (NoMV1) and Nigrospora oryzae mitovirus 2 (NoMV2). Both NoMV1 and NoMV2 were A-U rich and with lengths of 2865 and 2507 bp, respectively. Mitochondrial codon usage inferred that each of the two mitoviruses contains a major large ORF encoding a mitoviral RdRp. Horizontal transfer experiments showed that the NoMV1 and NoMV2 could be cotransmitted horizontally via hyphal contact to other virus-free N. oryzae strains and causes phenotypic change to the recipient, such as an increase in growth rate. This is the first report of mitoviruses in N. oryzae.
摘要：
WRKY是一类广泛参与高等植物各种抗逆调控活动的转录因子,可以通过激活下游相关信号转导途径调节自身的应激反应,进而增强植物抗逆性。本研究通过RNA-Seq从马铃薯(Solanum tuberosum)中筛选出一个晚疫病菌诱导WRKY转录因子基因StWRKY。采用RT-PCR技术获得该基因CDS全长,并对其进行序列分析及结构功能预测。根据StWRKY蛋白序列进行同源性搜索,得到与其蛋白序列相似度较高的其他物种的蛋白序列,使用MEGA7软件对StWRKY蛋白序列及其同源序列进行多序列比对分析并构建了系统进化树。利用在线工具ProtParam对StWRKY进行氨基酸理化性质分析;利用SMART在线工具进行蛋白序列分析;利用SWISS-MODEL在线工具和PredictProtein在线平台分别对StWRKY蛋白二级结构和三级结构进行分析。结果表明,StWRKY核苷酸序列CDS全长为957 bp,编码含318个氨基酸的蛋白质,预测蛋白分子量为36.17 kD,等电点为6.49。既不是分泌蛋白也不是膜蛋白,未发现跨膜区、信号肽和复合螺旋区。 StWRKY三维空间结构主要由无规卷曲以及β-折叠组成。通过XcmⅠ酶切、连接将StWRKY装载到pCXSN载体上,构建了该基因的超表达载体pCXSN-StWRKY。StWRKY基因的克隆,为进一步从分子水平上验证其抗晚疫病的生物学功能以及揭示马铃薯生物胁迫抗逆机制奠定基础,并为马铃薯抗病育种提供新的基因资源。 <&wdkj&>WRKY is a kind of transcriptional factor that widely participates in the regulation of various stress resistant activities of higher plants, which can regulate its own stress response by activating downstream related signal transduction pathway to enhance plant stress resistance. In this study, a WRKY transcription factor gene StWRKY induced by Phytophthora infestans was screened from Solanum tuberosum by RNA-seq. The full-length CDS of the gene was obtained by RT-PCR, and the sequence analysis and structural function prediction were carried out. Homology search was performed according to StWRKY protein sequence, and protein sequences of other species with high similarity to its protein sequences were obtained. A multiple sequence alignment was analyzed and phylogenetic tree was constructed on StWRKY protein sequence and its homologous sequences by MEGA7. The physical and chemical properties of StWRKY were analyzed by online tool ProtParam. StWRKY protein sequence was analyzed by SMART online tools. The secondary structure and tertiary structure of StWRKY protein were analyzed by SWISS-MODEL online tool and PreidictProtein online platform, respectively. The results showed that the full-length CDS of StWRKY nucleotide sequence was 957 bp, encoding 318 amino acids, with the predicted molecular mass of 36.17 kD and the isoelectric point of 6.49. Neither a secreted protein nor a membrane protein, and no transmembrane region, signal peptide and complex helix region were found. The StWRKY three-dimensional space structure was mainly composed of random coils and β-sheets. The overexpression vector pCXSN-StWRKY was constructed by loading StWRKY on plasmid pCXSN through XcmⅠenzyme digestion and linkage. The cloning of StWRKY gene could provide a basis for further identification of the biological function of anti-late blight on the molecular level, to reveal the resistance mechanism of potato biotic stress and offer new genetic resources for the resistance breeding of potato.

摘要：
Endophytic bacteria are generally helpful for plant growth and protection. We isolated from tobacco seeds three Pseudomonas strains (K03, Y04, and N05) that could produce siderophores, indole-3-acetic acid, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase, fix nitrogen, dissolve phosphorus and potassium, and tolerate heavy metals. In pot experiments, the three isolated strains significantly promoted root growth and increased the root enzyme activity in Nicotiana tobacum K326. Furthermore, bacterial inoculations increased the proportion of residual lead (Pb) by 8.36%-51.63% and decreased the total Pb content by 3.28%-6.38% in the contaminated soil during tobacco planting, compared with uninoculated soils. An effective decrease in Pb content was also found in tobacco leaves with bacterial inoculations. K03 inoculation decreased the Pb content in the upper leaves by 49.80%, and Y04 inoculation had the best effect, decreasing the Pb content in the middle leaves by 70.12%. Additionally, soil pH and root activity had significant effects on transformation and translocation of Pb. The study suggested that in response to Pb pollution in soil, a reasonable application of endophytes (e.g., Pseudomonas) might be a promising approach in promoting tobacco growth and reducing Pb content in tobacco, while simultaneously enhancing Pb stabilization in soils.
摘要：
We report the molecular attributes of a novel bisegmented double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus, designated "Nigrospora oryzae partitivirus 1" (NoPV1), from a phytopathogenic fungus Nigrospora oryzae. The genome of NoPV1 contains two dsRNA segments (dsRNA1 and 2), 1875 bp and 1601 bp in length, respectively. dsRNA1 and -2 both have a single open reading frame encoding the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and coat protein, respectively. NoPV1 has a high degree of sequence identity to members of genus Gammapartitivirus in the family Partitiviridae. This is the first report of a mycovirus in the family Partitiviridae that infects N. oryzae.
