Evidence shows that sexual reproduction can be advantageous for fungal diseases as hybridization facilitates host-jumping. However, the pervasive clonal lineages of M. oryzae observed in natural fields contradict this expectation. A better understanding of the roles of recombination and the fungi-specific repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) in shaping its evolutionary trajectory is essential to bridge this knowledge gap. Here we systematically investigate the RIP and recombination landscapes in M. oryzae using a whole genome sequencing data from 252 population samples and 92 cross progenies. Our data reveal that the RIP can robustly capture the population history of M. oryzae, and we provide accurate estimations of the recombination and RIP rates across different M. oryzae clades. Significantly, our results highlight a parent-of-origin bias in both recombination and RIP rates, tightly associating with their sexual potential and variations of effector proteins. This bias suggests a critical trade-off between generating novel allelic combinations in the sexual cycle to facilitate host-jumping and stimulating transposon-associated diversification of effectors in the asexual cycle to facilitate host coevolution. These findings provide unique insights into understanding the evolution of blast fungus.</p>","PeriodicalId":54825,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Genetics and Genomics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140137436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we reveal that compared with wild-type plants, ferric reductase defective 3 (frd3) mutants exhibit enhanced drought resistance concomitant with elevated NINE-CIS-EPOXYCAROTENOID DIOXYGENASE 3 (NCED3) transcript levels and abscisic acid (ABA) contents in leaves as well as increased hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) levels in roots and leaves. Grafting experiments distinctly illustrate that drought resistance can be conferred by the frd3 rootstock regardless of the scion genotype, indicating that long-distance signals originating from frd3 roots promote an increase in ABA levels in leaves. Intriguingly, the drought resistance conferred by the frd3 mutant rootstock is weakened by the CAT2-overexpressing scion, suggesting that H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> may be involved in long-distance signaling. Moreover, the results of comparative transcriptome and proteome analyses support the drought resistance phenotype of the frd3 mutant.

By performing 4D label-free proteomics and lysine lactylation (Kla) omics analyses in mouse hearts at postnatal days 1, 5, and 7, 2297 Kla sites from 980 proteins are identified, among which 1262 Kla sites from 409 proteins are quantified.
