RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Septoria tritici blotch (STB) disease causes yield losses of up to 50 per cent in susceptible wheat cultivars and can reduce wheat production. In this study, genomic architecture for adult-plant STB resistance in a Septoria Association Mapping Panel (SAMP) having 181 accessions and genomic regions governing STB resistance in a South Asian wheat panel were looked for. RESULTS: Field experiments during the period from 2019 to 2021 revealed those certain accessions, namely BGD52 (CHIR7/ANB//CHIR1), BGD54 (CHIR7/ANB//CHIR1), IND92 (WH 1218), IND8 (DBW 168), and IND75 (PBW 800), exhibited a high level of resistance. Genetic analysis revealed the presence of 21 stable quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) associated with resistance to STB (Septoria tritici blotch) on all wheat chromosomes, except for 2D, 3A, 3D, 4A, 4D, 5D, 6B, 6D, and 7A. These QTNs were predominantly located in chromosome regions previously identified as associated with STB resistance. Three Quantitative Trait Loci (QTNs) were found to have significant phenotypic effects in field evaluations. These QTNs are Q.STB.5A.1, Q.STB.5B.1, and Q.STB.5B.3. Furthermore, it is possible that the QTNs located on chromosomes 1A (Q.STB.1A.1), 2A (Q.STB_DH.2A.1, Q.STB.2A.3), 2B (Q.STB.2B.4), 5A (Q.STB.5A.1, Q.STB.5A.2), and 7B (Q.STB.7B.2) could potentially be new genetic regions associated with resistance. CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrate the importance of Asian bread wheat as a source of STB resistance alleles and novel stable QTNs for wheat breeding programs aiming to develop long-lasting and wide-ranging resistance to Zymoseptoria tritici in wheat cultivars.

RESUMEN

Hypersensitive response-programmed cell death (HR-PCD) regulated by Ca2+ signal is considered the major regulator of resistance against Puccinia triticina (Pt.) infection in wheat. In this study, the bread wheat variety Thatcher and its near-isogenic line with the leaf rust resistance locus Lr26 were infected with the Pt. race 260 to obtain the compatible and incompatible combinations, respectively. The expression of translationally controlled tumor protein (TaTCTP) was upregulated upon infection with Pt., through a Ca2+-dependent mechanism in the incompatible combination. The knockdown of TaTCTP markedly increased the area of dying cell and the number of Pt. haustorial mother cells (HMCs) at the infection sites, whereas plants overexpressing the gene exhibited enhanced resistance. The interaction between TaTCTP and calcineurin B-like protein-interacting protein kinase 23 (TaCIPK23) was also investigated, and the interaction was found occurred in the endoplasmic reticulum. TaCIPK23 phosphorylated TaTCTP in vitro. The expression of a phospho-mimic TaTCTP mutant in Nicotiana benthamiana promoted HR-like cell death. Silencing TaCIPK23 or TaCIPK23/TaTCTP co-silencing resulted in the same results as silencing TaTCTP. This suggested that TaTCTP is a novel phosphorylation target of TaCIPK23, and both participate in the resistance of wheat to Pt. in the same pathway.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the foliar fungus Zymoseptoria tritici, is one of the most damaging disease of wheat in Europe. Genetic resistance against this fungus relies on different types of resistance from non-host resistance (NHR) and host species specific resistance (HSSR) to host resistance mediated by quantitative trait loci (QTLs) or major resistance genes (Stb). Characterizing the diversity of theses resistances is of great importance for breeding wheat cultivars with efficient and durable resistance. While the functional mechanisms underlying these resistance types are not well understood, increasing piece of evidence suggest that fungus stomatal penetration and early establishment in the apoplast are both crucial for the outcome of some interactions between Z. tritici and plants. To validate and extend these previous observations, we conducted quantitative comparative phenotypical and cytological analyses of the infection process corresponding to 22 different interactions between plant species and Z. tritici isolates. These interactions included four major bread wheat Stb genes, four bread wheat accessions with contrasting quantitative resistance, two species resistant to Z. tritici isolates from bread wheat (HSSR) and four plant species resistant to all Z. tritici isolates (NHR). RESULTS: Infiltration of Z. tritici spores into plant leaves allowed the partial bypass of all bread wheat resistances and durum wheat resistance, but not resistances from other plants species. Quantitative comparative cytological analysis showed that in the non-grass plant Nicotiana benthamiana, Z. tritici was stopped before stomatal penetration. By contrast, in all resistant grass plants, Z. tritici was stopped, at least partly, during stomatal penetration. The intensity of this early plant control process varied depending on resistance types, quantitative resistances being the least effective. These analyses also demonstrated that Stb-mediated resistances, HSSR and NHR, but not quantitative resistances, relied on the strong growth inhibition of the few Z. tritici penetrating hyphae at their entry point in the sub-stomatal cavity. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to furnishing a robust quantitative cytological assessment system, our study uncovered three stopping patterns of Z. tritici by plant resistances. Stomatal resistance was found important for most resistances to Z. tritici, independently of its type (Stb, HSSR, NHR). These results provided a basis for the functional analysis of wheat resistance to Z. tritici and its improvement.

RESUMEN

We have previously shown the ability of transamidated gluten (spf) to modulate both innate and adaptive intestinal immunity elicited by wheat gliadin in HLA-DQ8 transgenic mice (DQ8 mice), a model of gluten sensitivity. Herein, we evaluated the influence of spf when administered intragastrically on the immune response to native gliadin in DQ8 mice. To address the issue, we analysed three regimens of antigen administration: before immunisation (pre-treatment), during immunisation (co-treatment) and through breast milk during the lactating phase (suckling treatment). Mice were immunised mucosally by intranasal delivery of digested wheat gliadin along with cholera toxin in multiple doses. After sacrifice, isolated spleen and mesenteric lymph node (MLN) cells were challenged in vitro and the cytokine profile of culture supernatants assessed by ELISA and multiparametric assay. We found that only pre-treatment with spf was effective in down-regulating the gliadin-specific IFN-γ response and only in spleen cells. Interestingly, spf pre-treatment also induced systemic IL-6, IL-17A and TNF-α. By contrast, we found that spf pre-treatment upregulated INF-γ in MLN but also significantly decreased IL-2. In conclusion, our data provide evidence that the preventive intragastric administration of transamidated gluten is able to interfere with the classical cytokine profile induced by gliadin via mucosal immunisation in a transgenic model expressing one of the HLA molecules associated with coeliac disease.

RESUMEN

As a kind of obligate biotrophic fungus, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) secretes vast effectors via haustoria to host cells during the infection to inhibit host defense responses and promote fungal invasion. In this study, based on the completion of genome sequencing and haustorial transcriptome sequencing of Pst, we identified a Pst effector (Hasp155) that is significantly induced in the early stage of Pst infection to wheat. The 18 N-terminal amino acids of Hasp155 encoded a signal peptide with a secretory function. Transient expression of Hasp155 in Nicotiana benthamiana inhibited Bax-induced cell death as well as chitin-triggered callose deposition and defense-related gene expression. Moreover, delivery of the Hasp155 protein into wheat cells via type three secretion systems (TTSS) led to reduced plant immunity to nonpathogenic bacteria and to the avirulent Pst race with decreased H2O2 accumulation and promoted Pst development. Furthermore, transgenic overexpression of Hasp155 significantly renders wheat resistance susceptible, resulting in a decreased defense response and increased Pst pathogenicity. Overall, these results indicate that Hasp155 is an important effector of Pst pathogenicity by suppressing plant immunity.

RESUMEN

IgE-mediated wheat allergy can take on various forms, including childhood food allergy to wheat, wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis in young adults, baker's respiratory allergy/asthma in workers exposed to wheat flour inhalation, and contact urticaria that is caused by hydrolyzed wheat proteins in some cosmetics, and that is sometimes associated with a food allergy. Singleplex and multiplex immunoassays detect specific IgE antibodies to wheat allergenic molecular biomarkers such as omega-5 gliadin Tri a 19, lipid transfer protein Tri a 14, and alpha-amylase inhibitors. The fluorescence enzyme immunoassay with capsulated cellulose polymer solid-phase coupled allergens is a commonly used singleplex assay. Multiplex methods include the ELISA-based macroarray immunoassay using nano-bead technology and a microarray immunoassay on polymer-coated slides. Another promising diagnostic tool is the basophil activation test performed with omega-5 gliadin and other wheat protein types. Detailed comprehension of the structural and immunological features of the numerous wheat allergens significant in clinical settings is imperative for advancing diagnostic biomarkers for IgE-mediated wheat allergies.

RESUMEN

Global wheat production amounted to >780 MMT during 2022-2023 whose market size are valued at >$128 billion. Wheat is highly susceptible to high-temperature stress (HTS) throughout the life cycle and its yield declines 5-7% with the rise in each degree of temperature. Previously, we reported an array of HTS-response markers from a resilient wheat cv. Unnat Halna and described their putative role in heat acclimation. To complement our previous results and identify the key determinants of thermotolerance, here we examined the cytoplasmic proteome of a sensitive cv. PBW343. The HTS-triggered metabolite reprograming highlighted how proteostasis defects influence the formation of an integrated stress-adaptive response. The proteomic analysis identified several promising HTS-responsive proteins, including a NACα18 protein, designated TaNACα18, whose role in thermotolerance remains unknown. Dual localization of TaNACα18 suggests its crucial functions in the cytoplasm and nucleus. The homodimerization of TaNACα18 anticipated its function as a transcriptional coactivator. The complementation of TaNACα18 in yeast and overexpression in wheat demonstrated its role in thermotolerance across the kingdom. Altogether, our results suggest that TaNACα18 imparts tolerance through tight regulation of gene expression, cell wall remodeling and activation of cell defense responses.

RESUMEN

Wheat stem rust, which is caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), is a highly destructive disease that affects wheat crops on a global scale. In this study, the reactions of 150 bread wheat varieties were evaluated for natural Pgt infection at the adult-plant stage in the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 growing seasons, and they were analyzed using specific molecular markers to detect stem rust resistance genes (Sr22, Sr24, Sr25, Sr26, Sr31, Sr38, Sr50, and Sr57). Based on phenotypic data, the majority of the varieties (62%) were resistant or moderately resistant to natural Pgt infection. According to molecular results, it was identified that Sr57 was present in 103 varieties, Sr50 in nine varieties, Sr25 in six varieties, and Sr22, Sr31, and Sr38 in one variety each. Additionally, their combinations Sr25 + Sr50, Sr31 + Sr57, Sr38 + Sr50, and Sr38 + Sr57 were detected in these varieties. On the other hand, Sr24 and Sr26 were not identified. In addition, many varieties had low stem rust scores, including a large minority that lacked Sr57. These varieties must have useful resistance to stem rust and could be the basis for selecting greater, possibly durable resistance.

RESUMEN

Employing race-specific resistance genes remains an effective strategy to protect wheat from leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina (Pt) worldwide, while the newly emerged Pt races, owing to rapid genetic evolution, frequently overcome the immune response delivered by race-specific resistance genes. The molecular mechanisms underlying the newly evolved virulence Pt pathogen remain unknown. Here, we identified an avirulence protein AvrLr15 from Pt that induced Lr15-dependent immune responses. Heterologously produced AvrLr15 triggered pronounced cell death in Lr15-isogenic wheat leaves. AvrLr15 contains a functional signal peptide, localized to the plant nucleus and cytosol and can suppress BAX-induced cell death. Evasion of Lr15-mediated resistance in wheat was associated with a deletion and point mutations of amino acids in AvrLr15 rather than AvrLr15 gene loss in the Lr15-breaking Pt races, implying that AvrLr15 is required for the virulence function of Pt. Our findings identified the first molecular determinant of wheat race-specific immunity and facilitated the identification of the first AVR/R gene pair in the Pt-wheat pathosystem, which will provide a molecular marker to monitor natural Pt populations and guide the deployment of Lr15-resistant wheat cultivars in the field.

RESUMEN

Wheat allergy is a major type of food allergy with the potential for life-threatening anaphylactic reactions. Common wheat, Triticum aestivum (hexaploid, AABBDD genome), was developed using tetraploid wheat (AABB genome) and the ancient diploid wheat progenitor (DD genome)-Aegilops tauschii. The potential allergenicity of gluten from ancient diploid wheat is unknown. In this study, using a novel adjuvant-free gluten allergy mouse model, we tested the hypothesis that the glutenin extract from this ancient wheat progenitor will be intrinsically allergenic in this model. The ancient wheat was grown, and wheat berries were used to extract the glutenin for testing. A plant protein-free colony of Balb/c mice was established and used in this study. The intrinsic allergic sensitization potential of the glutenin was determined by measuring IgE response upon transdermal exposure without the use of an adjuvant. Clinical sensitization for eliciting systemic anaphylaxis (SA) was determined by quantifying the hypothermic shock response (HSR) and the mucosal mast cell response (MMCR) upon intraperitoneal injection. Glutenin extract elicited a robust and specific IgE response. Life-threatening SA associated and a significant MMCR were induced by the glutenin challenge. Furthermore, proteomic analysis of the spleen tissue revealed evidence of in vivo Th2 pathway activation. In addition, using a recently published fold-change analysis method, several immune markers positively and negatively associated with SA were identified. These results demonstrate for the first time that the glutenin from the ancient wheat progenitor is intrinsically allergenic, as it has the capacity to elicit clinical sensitization for anaphylaxis via activation of the Th2 pathway in vivo in mice.

RESUMEN

Lesion mimic mutants (LMMs) refer to the spontaneous formation of disease-like spots on leaves without any obvious pathogen infection. The LMM genes can regulate plant immunity, thus promoting the defense of crops against pathogens. However, there is a lack of systematic understanding of the regulatory mechanism of LMMs in wheat. This study identified a wheat LMM TaCAT2, a homolog of the Arabidopsis CAT2. The prediction of the cis-regulatory element revealed that TaCAT2 was involved in the response of plants to various hormones and stresses. RT-qPCR analysis indicated that TaCAT2 was significantly up-regulated by NaCl, drought, and Fusarium graminearum infection. Fluorescence microscopy showed that the TaCAT2 was localized to the peroxisome. Overexpression of TaCAT2 enhanced plant resistance to Phytophthora infestation and F. graminearum by constitutionally activating SA and JA pathways. VIGS of TaCAT2 enhanced the sensitivity of wheat to F. graminearum. Further, TaCAT2 enhanced stress resistance by scavenging the excessive ROS and increasing the activities of antioxidative enzymes. This study lays the basis for the functional identification of TaCAT2 and its applicability in the disease resistance of wheat.

RESUMEN

Wheat species with various ploidy levels may be different regarding their immunoreactive potential in celiac disease (CD), but a comprehensive comparison of peptide sequences with known epitopes is missing. Thus, we used an untargeted liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method to analyze the content of peptides with CD-active epitope in the five wheat species common wheat, spelt, durum wheat, emmer, and einkorn. In total, 494 peptides with CD-active epitope were identified. Considering the average of the eight cultivars of each species, spelt contained the highest number of different peptides with CD-active epitope (193 ± 12, mean ± SD). Einkorn showed the smallest variability of peptides (63 ± 4) but higher amounts of certain peptides compared to the other species. The wheat species differ in the presence and distribution of CD-active epitopes; hence, the entirety of peptides with CD-active epitope is crucial for the assessment of their immunoreactive potential.

RESUMEN

Stripe rust of wheat is caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). Breeding durably resistant wheat varieties by disrupting the susceptibility (S) gene has an important impact on the control of wheat stripe rust. Mingxian169 (MX169) showed strong stripe rust susceptibility to all the races of Pst. However, molecular mechanisms and responsive genes underlying susceptibility of the wheat variety MX169 to Pst have not been elucidated. Here, we utilized next-generation sequencing technology to analyze transcriptomics data of "MX169" and high-resistance wheat "Zhong4" at 24, 48, and 120 h post-inoculation (hpi) with Pst. Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed 3,494, 2,831, and 2,700 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at different time points. We observed an upregulation of DEGs involved in photosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis, pyruvate metabolism, thiamine metabolism, and other biological processes, suggesting their involvement in MX169's response to Pst. DEGs encoding transcription factors were also identified. Our study suggested the potential susceptibility gene resources in MX169 related to stripe rust response could be valuable for understanding the mechanisms involved in stripe rust susceptibility and for improving wheat resistance to Pst. IMPORTANCE: Our study suggests the potential susceptibility gene resources in MX169 related to stripe rust response could be valuable for understanding the mechanisms involved in stripe rust susceptibility and for improving wheat resistance to Pst.

RESUMEN

Leaf rust is a widespread foliar wheat disease causing substantial yield losses worldwide. Slow rusting is "adult plant" resistance that significantly slows epidemic development and thereby reduces yield loss. Wheat accession CI 13227 was previously characterized as having slow-rusting resistance. To validate the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and develop diagnostic markers for slow rusting resistance in CI 13227, a new population of recombinant inbred lines of CI 13227 × Everest was evaluated for latent period, final severity, area under the disease progress curve, and infection type in greenhouses and genotyped using genotyping-by-sequencing. Four QTLs were identified on chromosome arms 2BL, 2DS, 3BS, and 7BL, explaining 6.82 to 28.45% of the phenotypic variance for these traits. Seven kompetitive allele-specific polymorphism markers previously reported to be linked to the QTLs in two other CI 13227 populations were validated. In addition, the previously reported QLr.hwwg-7AL was remapped to 2BL (renamed QLr.hwwg-2BL) after adding new markers in this study. Phenotypic data showed that the recombinant inbred lines harboring two or three of the QTLs had a significantly longer latent period. QLr.hwwg-2DS on 2DS showed a major effect on all rust resistance traits and was finely mapped to a 2.7-Mb interval by two newly developed flanking markers from exome capture. Three disease-resistance genes and two transporter genes were identified as the putative candidates for QLr.hwwg-2DS. The validated QTLs can be used as slow-rusting resistance resources, and the markers developed in this study will be useful for marker-assisted selection.

RESUMEN

Wheat blast, a devastating disease having spread recently from South America to Asia and Africa, is caused by Pyricularia oryzae (synonym of Magnaporthe oryzae) pathotype Triticum, which first emerged in Brazil in 1985. Rmg8 and Rmg7, genes for resistance to wheat blast found in common wheat and tetraploid wheat, respectively, recognize the same avirulence gene, AVR-Rmg8. Here we show that an ancestral resistance gene, which had obtained an ability to recognize AVR-Rmg8 before the differentiation of Triticum and Aegilops, has expanded its target pathogens. Molecular cloning revealed that Rmg7 was an allele of Pm4, a gene for resistance to wheat powdery mildew on 2AL, whereas Rmg8 was its homoeologue on 2BL ineffective against wheat powdery mildew. Rmg8 variants with the ability to recognize AVR-Rmg8 were distributed not only in Triticum spp. but also in Aegilops speltoides, Aegilops umbellulata and Aegilops comosa. This result suggests that the origin of resistance gene(s) recognizing AVR-Rmg8 dates back to the time before differentiation of A, B, S, U and M genomes, that is, ~5 Myr before the emergence of its current target, the wheat blast fungus. Phylogenetic analyses suggested that, in the evolutionary process thereafter, some of their variants gained the ability to recognize the wheat powdery mildew fungus and evolved into genes controlling dual resistance to wheat powdery mildew and wheat blast.

RESUMEN

Wheat blast, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, threatens global cereal production since its emergence in Brazil in 1985 and recently spread to Bangladesh and Zambia. Here we demonstrate that the AVR-Rmg8 effector, common in wheat-infecting isolates, is recognized by the gene Pm4, previously shown to confer resistance to specific races of Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, the cause of powdery mildew of wheat. We show that Pm4 alleles differ in their recognition of different AVR-Rmg8 alleles, and some confer resistance only in seedling leaves but not spikes, making it important to select for those alleles that function in both tissues. This study has identified a gene recognizing an important virulence factor present in wheat blast isolates in Bangladesh and Zambia and represents an important first step towards developing durably resistant wheat cultivars for these regions.

RESUMEN

In this comprehensive genome-wide study, we identified and classified 83 Xylanase Inhibitor Protein (XIP) genes in wheat, grouped into five distinct categories, to enhance understanding of wheat's resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB), a significant fungal threat to global wheat production. Our analysis reveals the unique distribution of XIP genes across wheat chromosomes, particularly at terminal regions, suggesting their role in the evolutionary expansion of the gene family. Several XIP genes lack signal peptides, indicating potential alternative secretion pathways that could be pivotal in plant defense against FHB. The study also uncovers the sequence homology between XIPs and chitinases, hinting at a functional diversification within the XIP gene family. Additionally, the research explores the association of XIP genes with plant immune mechanisms, particularly their linkage with plant hormone signaling pathways like abscisic acid and jasmonic acid. XIP-7A3, in particular, demonstrates a significant increase in expression upon FHB infection, highlighting its potential as a key candidate gene for enhancing wheat's resistance to this disease. This research not only enriches our understanding of the XIP gene family in wheat but also provides a foundation for future investigations into their role in developing FHB-resistant wheat cultivars. The findings offer significant implications for wheat genomics and breeding, contributing to the development of more resilient crops against fungal diseases.

RESUMEN

Effector proteins are central to the success of plant pathogens, while immunity in host plants is driven by receptor-mediated recognition of these effectors. Understanding the molecular details of effector-receptor interactions is key for the engineering of novel immune receptors. Here, we experimentally determined the crystal structure of the Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) effector AvrSr27, which was not accurately predicted using AlphaFold2. We characterised the role of the conserved cysteine residues in AvrSr27 using in vitro biochemical assays and examined Sr27-mediated recognition using transient expression in Nicotiana spp. and wheat protoplasts. The AvrSr27 structure contains a novel ß-strand rich modular fold consisting of two structurally similar domains that bind to Zn2+ ions. The N-terminal domain of AvrSr27 is sufficient for interaction with Sr27 and triggering cell death. We identified two Pgt proteins structurally related to AvrSr27 but with low sequence identity that can also associate with Sr27, albeit more weakly. Though only the full-length proteins, trigger Sr27-dependent cell death in transient expression systems. Collectively, our findings have important implications for utilising protein prediction platforms for effector proteins, and those embarking on bespoke engineering of immunity receptors as solutions to plant disease.
