Bcpls1::bar is not pathogenic on intact plant tissues of bean, tomato or rose, but it infects wounded plant tissues. Both wild type and Bcpls1::bar differentiate appressoria on plant and artificial surfaces, a process involving an arrest of polarized growth, apex swelling and its cell wall reinforcement. Although wild-type appressoria allowed the penetration of the fungus into the host plant within 6–12 h, no successful penetration events were observed with Bcpls1::bar, suggesting that its appressoria are not functional. An eGFP transcriptional fusion showed that BcPLS1 was specifically expressed in conidia, germ tubes and appressoria during host penetration. Our results indicate that BcPLS1 is required for the penetration of B. cinerea into intact host plants. The defect in pathogenicity of Bcpls1::bar also demonstrates that functional B. cinerea appressoria are required for a successful penetration process. As Bcpls1::bar and Mgpls1Δ::hph penetration defects are similar, fungal tetraspanins are likely to be required for an essential appressorial function widespread among fungi.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1432-0983Keywords: Key wordsniaD ; Botrytis cinerea ; Nitrate reductase ; Homologous recombinationSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: BiologyNotes: Abstract The nitrate reductase (niaD) gene was isolated from the phytopathogenic ascomycete Botrytis cinerea using a probe obtained by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with degenerate oligonucleotides corresponding to domains conserved among three fungal nitrate reductases. The B. cinerea niaD gene encodes a predicted protein of 907 amino acids and contains no intron. Nitrate reductase-deficient mutants of B. cinerea have been isolated. One of them was transformed with the niaD genes of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis and B. cinerea. The transformation was always ectopic when the donor DNA originated from F. oxysporum, but there was 80% gene replacement when the donor DNA originated from B. cinerea.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1617-4623Keywords: Key words Filamentous fungi ; Botrytis cinerea ; Transposable element ; Fot-1 like ; Nitrate reductaseSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: BiologyNotes: Abstract A transposable element, Flipper, was isolated from the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea. The element was identified as an insertion sequence within the coding region of the nitrate reductase gene. The Flipper sequence is 1842 bp long with perfect inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) of 48 bp and an open reading frame (ORF) of 533 amino acids, potentially encoding for a transposase; the element is flanked by the dinucleotide TA. The encoded protein is very similar to the putative transposases of three elements from other phytopathogenic fungi, Fot1 from Fusarium oxysporum, and Pot2 and MGR586 from Magnaporthe grisea. The number of Flipper elements in strains of B. cinerea varied from 0 to 20 copies per genome. Analysis of the descendants of one cross showed that the segregation ratio of Flipper elements was 2:2 and that the copies were not linked.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
