is a necrotrophic fungus causing black spot disease and is an economically important seed-borne pathogen of cultivated brassicas. Seed transmission is a crucial component of its parasitic cycle as it promotes long-term survival and dispersal. Recent studies, conducted with the pathosystem, showed that the level of susceptibility of the fungus to water stress strongly influenced its seed transmission ability. In this study, we gained further insights into the mechanisms involved in the seed infection process by analyzing the transcriptomic and metabolomic responses of germinated spores of exposed to water stress. Then, the repertoire of putative hydrophilins, a group of proteins that are assumed to be involved in cellular dehydration tolerance, was established in based on the expression data and additional structural and biochemical criteria. Phenotyping of single deletion mutants deficient for fungal hydrophilin-like proteins showed that they were affected in their transmission to seeds, although their aggressiveness on host vegetative tissues remained intact.
是一种引起黑斑病的坏死营养型真菌,是栽培芸苔属植物中一种具有经济重要性的种传病原体。种子传播是其寄生循环的关键组成部分,因为它促进了长期存活和传播。最近在该病理系统中进行的研究表明,真菌对水分胁迫的敏感程度强烈影响其种子传播能力。在本研究中,我们通过分析暴露于水分胁迫的萌发孢子的转录组和代谢组反应,进一步深入了解了种子感染过程中涉及的机制。然后,基于表达数据以及额外的结构和生化标准,在该真菌中建立了假定的亲水性蛋白库,这类蛋白被认为参与细胞脱水耐受性。对缺乏真菌亲水性样蛋白的单基因缺失突变体进行表型分析表明,它们在向种子传播方面受到影响,尽管它们对宿主营养组织的侵袭性保持不变。
