RESUMEN

Sheath blight disease of rice caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA, is a major fungal disease responsible for huge loss to grain yield and quality. The major limitation of achieving persistent and reliable resistance against R. solani is the governance of disease resistance trait by many genes. Therefore, functional characterization of new genes involved in sheath blight resistance is necessary to understand the mechanism of resistance as well as evolving effective strategies to manage the disease through host-plant resistance. In this study, we performed RNA sequencing of six diverse rice genotypes (TN1, BPT5204, Vandana, N22, Tetep, and Pankaj) from sheath and leaf tissue of control and fungal infected samples. The approach for identification of candidate resistant genes led to identification of 352 differentially expressed genes commonly present in all the six genotypes. 23 genes were analyzed for RT-qPCR expression which helped identification of Oschib1 showing differences in expression level in a time-course manner between susceptible and resistant genotypes. The Oschib1 encoding classIII chitinase was cloned from resistant variety Tetep and over-expressed in susceptible variety Taipei 309. The over-expression lines showed resistance against R. solani, as analyzed by detached leaf and whole plant assays. Interestingly, the resistance response was correlated with the level of transgene expression suggesting that the enzyme functions in a dose dependent manner. We report here the classIIIb chitinase from chromosome10 of rice showing anti-R. solani activity to combat the dreaded sheath blight disease.

RESUMEN

Bacterial blight (BB) of rice is a devastating disease caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). The evolution of new pathogenic races of bacterial blight pathogen is always a potential threat for rice production. The deployment of pathotype-specific resistant genes in the host plants is a feasible strategy to develop BB-resistant varieties. Therefore, continuous disease monitoring, identification of Xoo pathotypes, and their distribution are crucial to managing BB. In this study, 71 Xoo isolates were collected from the Godavari delta in Andhra Pradesh (India) and their virulence profiles on rice BB differentials were characterized. Data revealed that different International Rice Bacterial Blight (IRBB) lines with single BB resistance genes were susceptible to 73.2%-97.2% of the isolates, except IRBB13 (possessing BB resistance gene, xa13) which showed a moderately susceptible or susceptible reaction to 47.9% of the isolates. Three gene combination rice differentials like IRBB56 (Xa4 + xa5 + xa13), IRBB57 (Xa4 + xa5 + Xa21), IRBB58 (Xa4 + xa13 + Xa21), and IRBB59 (xa5 + xa13 + Xa21) showed very broad-spectrum resistance to majority of the Xoo isolates from the region. None of the tested Xoo isolates were virulent on IRBB58 (Xa4 + xa13 + Xa21), IRBB60 (Xa4 + xa5 + xa13 + Xa21), and IRBB66 (Xa4 + xa5 + Xa7 + xa13 + Xa21). Based on the virulence reaction, 71 Xoo isolates were grouped into 10 major pathotypes. Highly virulent pathotypes viz., IXoPt # 14, 17, 19, and 22 can break the resistance of major BB-resistant genes and were commonly distributed throughout the surveyed regions. Genotypic data of 71 Xoo isolates using J3 primer divided them into three major clusters. Cluster I consisted of 24 Xoo isolates that belonged to pathotype IXoPt-19. Cluster II consisted of 41 Xoo isolates belonging to seven different pathotypes, and Cluster III was composed of six isolates from three different pathotypes. The findings of this study will be helpful to develop rice varieties with pathotype-specific broad-spectrum resistance against BB.

RESUMEN

Rhizoctonia solani AG1-1A is a necrotrophic fungus that causes sheath blight disease in rice. The reliable resistant source against this phytopathogenic fungus is not available in the gene pool of rice. Better understanding of pathogen genomics and gene regulatory networks are critical to devise alternate strategies for developing resistance against this noxious pathogen. In this study, miRNA-like RNAs (milRNAs) of an Indian strain of R. solani were identified by deep sequencing of small RNAs. We identified 128 known and 22 novel milRNAs from 20,963,123 sequence reads. These milRNAs showed 1725 target genes in the fungal genome which include genes associated with growth, development, pathogenesis and virulence of R. solani. Notably, these fungal milRNAs showed their target genes in host (rice) genome also which were later verified by qRT-PCR. The host target genes are associated with auxin metabolism, hypersensitive response, defense genes, and genes related to growth and development of rice. Osa-vacuolar-sorting receptor precursor: Rhi-milR-13, Osa-KANADI1:Rhi-milR-124, Osa-isoflavone reductase: Rhi-milR-135, Osa-nuclear transcription factor Y:Rhi-milR-131, Osa-NB-ARC domain containing protein: Rhi-milR-18, and Osa-OsFBX438: Rhi-milR-142 are notable potential regulons of host target genes: fungal milRNAs that need to be investigated for better understanding of the crosstalk of RNAi pathways between R. solani and rice. The detailed expression analysis of 17 milRNAs by qRT-PCR was analysed during infection at different time points of inoculation, at different growth stages of the host, in four different genotypes of the host, and also in four different strains of fungi which revealed differential regulation of milRNAs associated with pathogenesis and virulence. This study highlights several important findings on fungal milRNAs which need to be further studied and characterized to decipher the gene expression and regulation of this economically important phytopathogen.

RESUMEN

MicroRNAs regulate plant responses to fungal infections and immunity. In this study, miRNAs were identified in six rice cultivars during a Rhizoctonia solani Kühn AG1-IA infection using a deep sequencing approach. Known and novel miRNAs were analyzed in these rice cultivars, and a set of fungal infection/immunity-associated miRNAs and target genes were quantified by reverse transcription (RT)-qPCR in six rice cultivars. Additionally, the relative expression of these miRNAs was analyzed in different time points of the infection, wild species of rice, and in response to different strains of R. solani. Osa-miR1320-5p showed preferential expression during the fungal infection in all the six rice genotypes, while Osa-miR156d, Osa-miR159b, Osa-miR820c, and Osa-miR1876 were differentially regulated in susceptible and resistant genotypes. A greater degree of downregulation of miRNAs was observed during the initial time points of infection (24-72 h), suggesting a maximum molecular activity of rice-R. solani interaction and resistance response of the host during the early phase of infection. After R. solani infection, the expression of Osa-miR820c and Osa-miR156d was downregulated in Oryza rufipogon, O. alta, O. latifolia, and O. minuta, while Osa-miR397b was downregulated in all the wild rice species except O. officinalis. This study provided comprehensive information on the repertoire of miRNAs expressed in six sheath blight disease-susceptible and resistant indica and aus rice cultivars.

RESUMEN

Sheath blight disease of rice caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kühn (teleomorph: Thanatephorus cucumeris) remains a global challenge due to the absence of reliable resistance genes and poor understanding of pathogen biology. Pectin, one of the most vital constituents of the plant cell wall, is targeted by pectin methylesterases, polygalacturonases, and few other enzymes of fungal pathogens. In this study, we catalogued the expressed genes of the fungal genome from RNAseq of R. solani infected four rice genotypes. Analysis of RNAseq revealed 3325 pathogen genes commonly expressed in all rice genotypes, in which 49, 490, and 83 genes were specific to BPT5204, Tetep, and Pankaj genotypes, respectively. To identify the early and late responding genes of R. solani during plant cell wall degradation, a real-time PCR analysis of 30 pectinolytic enzymes was done at six different time points after inoculation. The majority of these genes showed maximum induction at the 72 h time point, suggesting that it is the most crucial stage of infection. Pankaj showed lesser induction of these genes as compared to other genotypes. Leaf-blade tissue and 45 days old-growth stage are more favorable for the expression of pectin degradation genes of R. solani. Additionally, the expression analysis of these genes from four different strains of R. solani suggested differential regulation of genes but no distinct expression pattern between highly virulent and mild strains. The implications of the differential regulation of these genes in disease development have been discussed. This study provides the first such comprehensive analysis of R. solani genes encoding pectin degrading enzymes, which would help to decipher the pathogen biology and sheath blight disease development.
