RESUMEN
A gram-stain-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterial strain capable of producing siderophores, named YIM B08730T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from Wumeng Mountain National Nature Reserve, Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province. Growth occurred at 10-45 °C (optimum, 35-40 â), pH 7.0-9.0 (optimum, 7.0) and in the presence of 0-5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0-1 %, w/v). A comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence (1558 bp) of strain YIM B08730T showed the highest similarity to Solibacillus isronensis JCM 13838T (96.2 %), followed by Solibacillus silvestris DSM 12223T (96.0 %) and Solibacillus kalamii ISSFR-015T (95.4 %). The main polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine and one unidentified lipid. The main respiratory quinone of strain YIM B08730T was menaquinone 7 (MK-7). The major fatty acids were iso-C15:0 and C16:1ω7c alcohol. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between strain YIM B08730T and the reference strain S. isronensis JCM 13838T were 24.8 % and 81.2 %, respectively. The G + C content of the genomic DNA was 37.1 mol%. The genome of the novel strain contained genes associated with the production of siderophores, and it also revealed other functional gene clusters involved in plant growth promotion and soil bioremediation. Based on these phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses, strain YIM B08730T is considered to be a novel species of the genus Solibacillus, for which the name Solibacillus ferritrahens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM B08730T (= NBRC 116268T = CGMCC 1.60169T).

Rice blast is a very serious disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, which threatens rice production and food supply throughout the world. The avirulence (AVR) genes of rice blast are perceived by the corresponding rice blast resistance (R) genes and prompt specific resistance. A mutation in AVR is a major force for new virulence. Exploring mutations in AVR among M. oryzae isolates from rice production fields could aid assessment of the efficacy and durability of R genes. We studied the probable molecular-evolutionary patterns of AVR-Pib alleles by assaying their DNA-sequence diversification and examining their avirulence to the corresponding Pib resistance gene under natural conditions in the extremely genetically diverse of rice resources of Yunnan, China. PCRs detected results from M. oryzae genomic DNA and revealed that 162 out of 366 isolates collected from Yunnan Province contained AVR-Pib alleles. Among them, 36.1-73.3% isolates from six different rice production areas of Yunnan contained AVR-Pib alleles. Furthermore, 36 (28.6%) out of 126 isolates had a transposable element (TE) insertion in AVR-Pib, which resulted in altered virulence. The TE insertion was identified in isolates from rice rather than from Musa nana Lour. Twelve AVR-Pib haplotypes encoding three novel AVR-Pib variants were identified among the remaining 90 isolates. AVR-Pib alleles evolved to virulent forms from avirulent forms by base substitution and TE insertion of Pot2 and Pot3 in the 5' untranslated region of AVR-Pib. These findings support the hypothesis that functional AVR-Pib possesses varied sequence structures and can escape surveillance by hosts via multiple variation manners.

Bacillus is widely used in agriculture due to its diverse biological activities. We isolated a Bacillus velezensis SH-1471 from the rhizosphere soil of healthy tobacco, which has broad-spectrum antagonistic activity against a variety of plant pathogenic fungi such as Fusarium oxysporum, and can be colonized in the rhizosphere of a variety of plants. This study will further explore its mechanism by combining biological and molecular biology methods. SH-1471 contains a ring chromosome of 4,181,346 bp with a mean G + C content of 46.18%. We identified 14 homologous genes related to biosynthesis of resistant secondary metabolite, and three clusters encoded potential new antibacterial substances. It also contains a large number of genes from colonizing bacteria and genes related to plant bacterial interactions. It also contains genes related to environmental stress, as well as genes related to drug resistance. We also found that there are many metabolites in the strain that can inhibit the growth of pathogens. In addition, our indoor pot test found that SH-1471 has a good control effect on tomato wilt, and could significantly improve plant height, stem circumference, root length, root weight, and fresh weight and dry weight of the aboveground part of tomato seedlings. Therefore, SH-1471 is a potential biological control strain with important application value. The results of this study will help to further study the mechanism of SH-1471 in biological control of plant diseases and promote its application.

Bacterial leaf blight is a devastating disease of rice worldwide. The resistant genes are routinely transferred from landraces to cultivated varieties through backcross breeding along with marker-assisted selection. In the present study, we use the gene-specific markers to screen the rice landraces in Yunnan Province of China. We collected 404 representative samples of 24 different rice landraces from Yunnan Province of China. The initial PCR-based screening suggested that the leaf blight resistance was not evenly distributed in Yunnan Province. Our results indicate that there is a complete loss of resistance for landraces based on xa5 and xa13 genes. On the other hand, landraces harboring Xa7 and Xa21 showed a high level of resistance. Using gene-specific PCR-based data, we were able to identify the resistant, susceptible and heterozygous populations across Yunnan Province. The widely used Xa21 gene alone showed a remarkable level of resistance throughout the province, indicating its potential to develop broad-spectrum resistance in rice germplasm. The key aspects of bacterial blight spread according to local sites in Yunnan Province and the resistance conferred by different landraces due to the presence of different resistance genes are discussed.
RESUMEN
The rice blast disease (caused by Magnaporthe oryzae) is a devastating disease in China. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of interaction for the cognate avirulence (AVR) gene with host resistance (R) genes, as well as their genetic evolution is essential for sustainable rice production. In the present study, we conducted a high-throughput nucleotide sequence polymorphism analysis of the AVR-Pi9 gene that was amplified from the rice-growing regions of the Yunnan Province in China. We detected the presence of seven novel haplotypes from 326 rice samples. In addition, the sequences of AVR-Pi9 were also obtained from two non-rice hosts, Eleusine coracana and Eleusine indica. The sequence analysis revealed the insertions and deletions in the coding and non-coding regions of the gene. The pathogenicity experiments of these haplotypes on previously characterized monogenic lines showed that the newly identified haplotypes are virulent in nature. The breakdown of resistance was attributed to the development of new haplotypes. Our results suggest that the mutation in the AVR-Pi9 gene is an alarming situation in the Yunnan province and thus needs attention.
RESUMEN
Siderophores secreted by microorganisms can promote ecological efficiency and could be used to regulate the unbalanced microbial community structure. The influence of the siderophore activity of Trichoderma yunnanense strain 2-14F2 and Beauveria pseudobassiana strain (2-8F2) on the physiological/biochemical functions and community structure of soil microbes affected by tobacco bacterial wilt (TBW) was studied. DNS Colorimetry and Biolog-eco plates were used to quantify the impacts of strain siderophores on soil enzyme activities and microbial metabolism. Based on Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing, the soil 16S rDNA and ITS sequences were amplified to dissect the response characteristics of alpha/beta diversity and the structure/composition of a soil microbial community toward siderophores. The KEGG database was used to perform the PICRUSt functional prediction of the microbial community. We found that siderophores of 2-14F2 and 2-8F2, at certain concentrations, significantly increased the activities of sucrase (S-SC) and urease (S-UE) in the TBW soil and enhanced the average well color development (AWCD, carbon source utilization capacity) of the microbial community. The metabolic capacity of the diseased soil to amino acids, carbohydrates, polymers, aromatics, and carboxylic acids also increased significantly. The response of the bacterial community to siderophore active metabolites was more significant in alpha diversity, while the beta diversity of the fungal community responded more positively to siderophores. The relative abundance of Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, and Acidobacteria increased and was accompanied by reductions in Proteobacteria and Firmicutes. LEfSe analysis showed that Pseudonocardiaceae, Gemmatimonas, Castellaniella, Chloridiumand and Acrophialophora altered the most under different concentrations of siderophore active metabolites. The PICRUSt functional prediction results showed that siderophore increased the abundance of the redox-related enzymes of the microbial community in TBW soil. The BugBase phenotypic prediction results showed that the siderophore activity could decrease the abundance of pathogenic bacteria. The study concludes that siderophore activity could decrease the abundance of pathogenic bacteria and regulate the composition of the microbial community in TBW soil. The activities of sucrase (S-SC) and urease (S-UE) in TBW soil were significantly increased. Overall, the siderophore regulation of community structures is a sustainable management strategy for soil ecosystems.

Rice blast is caused by Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae), which is considered one of the most serious pathogens of rice around the globe. It causes severe losses owing to its proven capability to disrupt the host resistance. Recently, its invasion of new hosts like the Musa species or banana plants has been noticed. To understand the possible level of genetic variation, we sequenced the genomes of eight different isolates of the Magnaporthe species infecting rice, Digitaria (a weed), finger millet, Elusine indica, and banana plants. Comparative genomic analysis of these eight isolates with the previously well-characterized laboratory strain M. oryzae 70-15 was made. The infectivity of the newly isolated strain from Musa species suggested that there is no resistance level in the host plants. The sequence analysis revealed that despite genome similarities, both the banana and Digitaria isolates have relatively larger genome sizes (â¼38.2 and 51.1 Mb, respectively) compared to those of the laboratory reference strain M. oryzae 70-15 (â¼37 Mb). The gene contraction, expansion, and InDel analysis revealed that during evolution, a higher number of gene insertions and deletions occurred in the blast fungus infecting Digitaria and banana. Furthermore, each genome shared thousands of genes, which suggest their common evolution. Overall, our analysis indicates that higher levels of genes insertion or deletions and gain in the total genome size are important factors in disrupting the host immunity and change in host selection.
RESUMEN
KEY MESSAGE: MoSDT1, a rice blast fungus transcription factor, is as an inducer to activate defense response through mainly mediating phosphorylated proteins in rice. Pathogen effector proteins play a dual role in infecting the host or triggering a defense response. Our previous research found a Magnaporthe oryzae effector, MoSDT1, which could activate the rice defense response when it was overexpressed in rice. However, we still know little about the mechanisms on how MoSDT1 in vivo or in vitro influences the resistance ability of rice. Our results showed that decreased ROS and increased lignin contents appeared along with significant upregulation of defense-related genes, raffinose synthesis gene, and phenylalanine ammonialyase gene. Moreover, we revealed that the contents of lignin were increased, which was in accordance with the upregulation of its precursor phenylalanine gene despite the fact that the glutamate-/thiamine-responsive genes were inhibited in MoSDT1 transgenic rice, and these indicated that MoSDT1 triggered the defense system of rice in vivo. Interestingly, in vitro studies, we further found that MoSDT1 induced the defense system by ROS synthesis, callose deposition, PR gene expression and SA/JA synthesis/signal genes using the purified prokaryotic expression system in rice plants. In addition, this defense response was confirmed to be activated by the zinc finger domain of MoSDT1 via prokaryotic expression of MoSDT1 truncated mutants in rice plants. To elucidate the regulative effects of MoSDT1 on protein phosphorylation in rice, phosphoproteome analysis was performed in both MoSDT1-transgenic and wild type rice. We found that MoSDT1 specifically up-regulated the expression levels of a few phosphorylated proteins, which were involved in multiple functions, such as biotic/abiotic stress and growth. In addition, the motifs in these specific proteins ranked the top among the top-five conserved motifs in the MoSDT1-transgenic rice. MoSDT1 played a crucial role in enhancing rice resistance by modulating several genes and signaling pathways.

Reasonable utilization of natural resource and protection of ecological environment is the foundation for implementing agricultural sustainable development. Biodiversity research and protection are becoming an important issue concerned commonly in the world. Crop disease is one of the important natural disasters for food production and safety, and is also one of the main reasons that confine sustainable development of agricultural production. Large-scale deployment of single highly resistant variety results in reduction of agro-biodiversity level. In this case, excessive loss of agro-biodiversity has become the main challenge in sustainable agriculture. Biodiversity can not only effectively alleviate disease incidence and loss of crop production, but also reduce pollution of agricultural ecological environment caused by excessive application of pesticides and fertilizers to the agricultural ecological environment. Discovery of the mechanism of biodiversity to control crop diseases can reasonably guide the rational deployment and rotation of different crops and establish optimization combinations of different crops. This review summarizes recent advances of research on molecular, physiological, and ecological mechanisms of biodiversity managing crop diseases, and proposes some research that needs to be strengthened in the future.
