Conventional methods for producing virus-free plantlets often fail to completely eliminate viroids, necessitating alternative strategies. In this study, RNA interference (RNAi) was induced by applying HSVd-specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to infected grapevine plantlets. Exogenous dsRNA treatment significantly reduced HSVd levels, as confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and digital PCR. Fluorescently labeled (Cy3) dsRNA uptake was detected in plant tissues, while small RNA sequencing revealed an accumulation of HSVd-derived small interfering RNA, indicating RNAi activation. Notably, the inhibitory effect persisted through three successive generations without additional treatment, and similar suppression was observed in HSVd-infected cucumber plants. These findings highlight the efficacy and durability of exogenous dsRNA applications as a sustainable and non-transgenic approach for viroid control in grapevine cultivation.","PeriodicalId":20173,"journal":{"name":"Plant Pathology Journal","volume":"41 4","pages":"507-517"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12332490/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144799927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although M. oryzae infects a broad range of monocotyledonous plants, it fails to colonize dicot species such as Nicotiana benthamiana, offering a useful system to investigate nonhost resistance (NHR). In this study, we characterized the immune responses of N. benthamiana to M. oryzae by profiling defense-related gene expression, analyzing fungal invasion, and functionally dissecting key immune components. Time-course expression analyses revealed sustained upregulation of NbBAK1, NbEAS, NbWRKY22, and NbPR1, alongside dynamic regulation of NbCYP71D20 and NbSGT1. Virus-induced gene silencing demonstrated that silencing of NbSGT1, but not NbEAS or NbBAK1, significantly enhanced fungal colonization. Furthermore, salicylic acid (SA)-deficient NahG plants exhibited increased susceptibility, suggesting that SA and SGT1-dependent immunity synergistically contribute to NHR. Visualization of infection using a GFP-expressing fungal strain confirmed that suppression of SGT1 and SA signaling facilitated hyphal expansion into adjacent host cells. High-throughput screening of 179 M. oryzae candidate effectors revealed that 70 induced hypersensitive response-like cell death in N. benthamiana, a response that was abrogated by NbSGT1 silencing. These findings collectively demonstrate that SA signaling and SGT1-dependent effector-triggered immunity are critical barriers against M. oryzae invasion and highlight the potential of nonhost immune components as resources for engineering durable resistance in crops.","PeriodicalId":20173,"journal":{"name":"Plant Pathology Journal","volume":"41 4","pages":"472-483"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12332412/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144799924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, cultivars of watermelon that are resistant to Ac have not been identified. Therefore, virulence factors/mechanisms in Ac must be characterized to develop alternative control strategies. Functions of a histidinol dehydrogenase, which is an essential enzyme for histidine biosynthesis, remain elusive in Ac. This study aims to elucidate the roles of histidinol dehydrogenase in Ac (HisDAc) using phenotype assays and proteomic analysis. The virulence of a mutant lacking a histidinol dehydrogenase, hisDAc:Tn5(EV), was diminished in geminated-seed inoculation and leaf infiltration assays, and the bacterium was impossible to grow without histidine in minimal media. However, treatment with exogenous histidine completely restored the virulence of the mutant on watermelon and its growth in minimal media, demonstrating that HisDAc is required for histidine biosynthesis, which contributes to virulence and growth. The comparative proteomic analysis indicates that HisDAc is involved in not only amino acid metabolism but also other biological mechanisms, including cell wall/membrane/envelope functions. This suggests that HisDAc may have pleiotropic effects. It was also confirmed that when Escherichia coli was incubated with Ac strains in water, the population level of E. coli increased in the presence of the mutant but not in the presence of the wild-type. This study leads to new insights regarding enzymes related to the production of primary metabolites and provides a promising target to discover an anti-virulence reagent to control BFB.","PeriodicalId":20173,"journal":{"name":"Plant Pathology Journal","volume":"41 3","pages":"341-351"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12146625/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144226246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seven Trichoderma strains showed excellent performance and were selected for further experiments. These strains were identified as T. longibrachiatum and T. capillare based on the internal transcribed spacer and translational elongation factor 1-alpha gene sequences. The selected strains demonstrated strong antifungal activity against six fungal pathogens in dual-culture and volatile organic compound (VOC) assays. Strain FBCC-F1645 exhibited particularly high antifungal activity and completely inhibited the growth of P. capsici in the VOC assay. All the selected strains significantly enhanced the growth parameters of red pepper seedlings, and flowering was effectively promoted in the treatment groups. Additionally, these strains demonstrated preventive effects against Fusarium oxysporum and P. capsici, the causative agents of Fusarium wilt and Phytophthora blight, respectively, achieving notable control efficacy. Notably, strain FBCC-F1547 completely inhibited wilting and exhibited a strong preventive effect against blight. In the pepper anthracnose prevention experiment, all the tested strain suspensions (diluted 100-fold and 500-fold) effectively inhibited Colletotrichum acutatum.

The model was calibrated using disease onset dates and corresponding weather data collected from two consecutive greenhouse experiments in 2022.

The qPCR using the DNA from varying densities of P. penetrans inoculated in soil demonstrated a robust correlation (r² = 0.98), indicating the limit of detection down to single nematode. Primer specificity evaluation with field soil sample precisely detected only P. penetrants. Species-specific DPp7F12R facilitate the direct detection of P. penetrants from soil DNA in very shorter time. Reliability of PCR was confirmed using BLAST algorithm, which identified partial sequence of PCR amplicon (300 bp) as P. penetrants.
