Use of AFLP markers to estimate molecular diversity of Phakopsora pachyrhizi

Background: Asian soybean rust (SBR) caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi Syd. & Syd., is one of the main diseases affecting soybean and has been reported as one of the most economically important fungal pathogens worldwide. Knowledge of the genetic diversity of this fungus should be considered when developing resistance breeding strategies. We aimed to analyze the genetic diversity of P. pachyrhizi combining simple sampling with a powerful and reproducible molecular technique. Results: We employed Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) technique for the amplification of P. pachyrhizi DNA extracted from naturally SBR-infected plants from 23 production fields. From a total of 1919 markers obtained, 77% were polymorphic. The high percentage of polymorphism and the Nei's genetic diversity coefficient (0.22) indicated high pathogen diversity. Analysis of molecular variance showed higher genetic variation within countries than among them. Temporal analysis showed a higher genetic variation within a year than between years. Cluster, phylogenetic and principal co-ordinate analysis showed that samples group by year of collection and then by country sampled. Conclusions: The study proposed combining a simple collection of urediniospore with a subsequent analysis by AFLP was useful to examine the molecular polymorphism of samples of P. pachyrhizi collected and might have a significant contribution to the knowledge of its genetic diversity. Also, AFLP analysis is an important and potent molecular tool for the study of genetic diversity and could be useful to carry out wider genetic diversity studies

Disease incidence of charcoal rot (\u3ci\u3eMacrophomina phaseolina\u3c/i\u3e) on soybean in north-western Argentina and genetic characteristics of the pathogen

Charcoal rot of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), caused by Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid., is an economically important disease worldwide. In recent years, charcoal rot has become a concern for farmers in north-western Argentina. The present work aimed to (1) evaluate disease incidence of charcoal rot; (2) assess morphological and genetic characteristics of M. phaseolina isolates from soybean and other hosts collected in north-western Argentina; and (3) compare genetic diversity between soybean isolates of M. phaseolina from Argentina and the USA. Incidence of charcoal rot evaluated in 11 locations during five growing seasons (2008–2012) was 1%, 1%, 1%, 5–10% and 90%, respectively, indicating a gradual increase over the cropping seasons. Cluster analysis by AFLP of Argentinean isolates exhibited one main group, with isolate Mp56 separated at a genetic distance of 0.70. Four main groups were identified using SSR markers at the same genetic distance, with Mp56 and Mp53 separated from them. There was no clear association between AFLP, SSR profiles, morphological characteristics or host of origin within isolates from Argentina. However, using principal coordinate analysis of SSRs, 22 isolates of M. phaseolina from soybean from north-western Argentina were clearly distinguished from 11 isolates previously collected from two states in the USA. Our results confirmed the increasing importance of charcoal rot in north-western Argentina and identified characteristics of isolates that may be useful for breeding for disease resistance and developing integrated management programmes for charcoal rot in Argentina in the future. La pourriture noire du soya (Glycine max (L.)Merr.), causée par Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid., est une maladie économiquement importante dans le monde entier. Depuis les dernières années, elle préoccupe les producteurs du nord-ouest de l’Argentine. Ces travaux visaient à: (1) estimer l’incidence de la maladie; (2) évaluer les caractéristiques morphologiques et génétiques des isolats de M. phaseolina collectés sur le soya et d’autres hôtes du Nord-Ouest argentin; et (3) comparer la diversité génétique entre les isolats de M. phaseolina collectés sur le soya en Argentine et aux États-Unis. L’incidence de la pourriture noire évaluée à 11 endroits durant 5 saisons de croissance (de 2008 à 2012) était de 1%, 1%, 1%, 5–10% et 90%, respectivement, ce qui indique une progression graduelle d’une saison à l’autre. L’analyse typologique des données AFLP des isolats argentins a fait ressortir un groupe principal incluant l’isolat Mp56 séparé par une distance génétique de 0.70. Quatre groupes principaux ont été identifiés à l’aide de marqueurs SSR à la même distance génétique,Mp56 etMp53 en étant séparés. Il n’y avait pas de corrélation nette entre les données AFLP, les profiles SSR, les caractéristiquesmorphologiques ou l’hôte d’origine parmi les isolats argentins. Toutefois, en utilisant l’analyse des principales coordonnées des SSR, 22 isolats de M. phaseolina collectés sur le soya du nord-ouest de l’Argentine ont été nettement différenciés de 11 isolats préalablement collectés dans deux États américains. Nos résultats confirment l’importance croissante de la pourriture noire dans le nord-ouest de l’Argentine. Ils ont permis de définir les caractéristiques des isolats qui pourraient être utiles en vue d’une sélection visant la résistance et l’élaboration d’un programme de gestion intégrée pour, dans l’avenir, combattre la pourriture noire en Argentine

Drought tolerance screening under controlled conditions predicts ranking of water‐limited yield of field‐grown soybean genotypes

Drought is a major limitation to crop yields worldwide. Screening for soybean yield under water deficit is often a bottleneck in breeding programmes. We assessed the validity of a standardized drought tolerance screening method to predict water‐limited field performance of soybean in NW Argentina. First, to determine the phenological period when yield of glasshouse‐grown plants was more sensitive to water deficit, we applied treatments during 21 days in V7, R3 or R5 stages, being the period from R5 to R6 the most critical for yield. Afterwards, two glasshouse experiments were carried out to quantify the tolerance of either eight or four genotypes, respectively, by applying a controlled water deficit of constant intensity during the critical period. Finally, yield data obtained in field trials in Argentina across several locations and seasons classified according to rainfall were analysed. Drought Susceptibility Index was calculated for each experiment and for field data, and rankings of tolerance were similar in all cases. This standardized method, which can be automated for high‐throughput phenotyping, could represent a useful tool in breeding programmes for identifying soybean cultivars with improved performance under drought conditions.EEA BalcarceFil: Pardo, E.M.

Impact of synthetic and biological immunomodulatory therapy on the duration of 17DD yellow fever vaccine-induced immunity in rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract Background The 17DD-yellow fever (YF) vaccine induces a long-lasting protective immunity, resulting from humoral and cellular immunological memory. The treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD) may affect pre-existing 17DD-vaccine protective immunity and increase the risk of acquiring YF infection. Our goal was to determine whether DMARD would affect the duration of YF-specific protective immunity in RA patients. Methods A total of 122 RA patients, previously immunized with the 17DD-YF vaccine (1–5, 5–9, and ≥ 10 years) and currently under DMARD therapy, were enrolled in the present investigation. Immunomodulatory therapy encompasses the use of conventional synthetic DMARD alone (csDMARD) or combines with biological DMARD (cs+bDMARD). A total of 226 healthy subjects were recruited as a control group (CONT). Neutralizing antibody responses were measured by a plaque-reduction neutralization test (PRNT), and cellular immunity was evaluated by an in vitro 17DD-YF-specific peripheral blood lymphoproliferative assay. Results The data demonstrated that csDMARD therapy did not affect the duration of protective immunity induced by the 17DD-YF vaccine compared to that of CONT, as both presented a significant time-dependent decline at 10 years after vaccination. Conversely, cs+bDMARD therapy induced a premature depletion in the main determinants of the vaccine protective response, with diminished PRNT seropositivity levels between 5 and 9 years and impaired effector memory in CD8+ T cells as early as 1–5 years after 17DD-YF vaccination. Conclusions These findings could support changing the vaccination schedule of this population, with the possibility of a planned booster dose upon the suspension of bDMARD in cases where this is allowed, even before 10 years following 17DD-YF vaccination. The benefit of a planned booster dose should be evaluated in further studies. Trial registration RBR-946bv5. Date of registration: March 05, 2018. Retrospectively registere

Estudos anteriores alertaram que os regimes de reforço devem ser considerados para garantir a persistência a longo prazo dos componentes de memória específicos da 17DD-YF em adultos que vivem em áreas com circulação do vírus da YF. Considerando as menores taxas de soroconversão observadas em crianças (9 a 12 meses de idade) em comparação aos adultos, este estudo foi desenvolvido para acessar a duração da imunidade em crianças vacinadas em dose única em um período de 10 anos de seção transversal . Os níveis de anticorpos neutralizantes (PRNT) e o status fenotípico / de memória funcional das células T e B foram medidos no início, 30 a 45 dias, 1, 2, 4, 7 e 10 anos após a vacinação primária. Os resultados revelaram que uma dose única induziu 85% de soropositividade entre 30 e 45 dias e uma diminuição progressiva dependente do tempo foi observada em apenas 2 anos e diminui para valores críticos (abaixo de 60%) em períodos de tempo ≥ 4 anos . Além disso, a imunidade celular específica de YF de curta duração, mediada pelas células T e B de memória, também foi observada após 4 anos. A análise de probabilidade prevista e a memória resultante enfatizam que os correlatos de proteção (PRNT; células T CD8 + com memória efetiva; células B com memória não clássica) diminuem para valores críticos dentro de ≥4 anos após a vacinação primária. Juntos, esses resultados demonstram claramente o declínio da resposta da memória específica da 17DD-YF ao longo do tempo em crianças vacinadas principalmente entre 9 e 12 meses de idade e suportam a necessidade de um regime de reforço para garantir a persistência a longo prazo dos componentes da memória para crianças que vivem em áreas com alto risco de transmissão YF.The Yellow Fever (YF) vaccination is recommended for people living in endemic areas and represents the most effective strategy to reduce the risk of infection. Previous studies have warned that booster regimens should be considered to guarantee the long-term persistence of 17DD-YF-specific memory components in adults living in areas with YF-virus circulation. Considering the lower seroconversion rates observed in children (9–12 months of age) as compared to adults, this study was designed in order to access the duration of immunity in single-dose vaccinated children in a 10-years cross-sectional time-span. The levels of neutralizing antibodies (PRNT) and the phenotypic/functional memory status of T and B-cells were measured at a baseline, 30–45 days, 1, 2, 4, 7, and 10 years following primary vaccination. The results revealed that a single dose induced 85% of seropositivity at 30–45 days and a progressive time-dependent decrease was observed as early as 2 years and declines toward critical values (below 60%) at time-spans of ≥4-years. Moreover, short-lived YF-specific cellular immunity, mediated by memory T and B-cells was also observed after 4-years. Predicted probability and resultant memory analysis emphasize that correlates of protection (PRNT; effector memory CD8+ T-cells; non-classical memory B-cells) wane to critical values within ≥4-years after primary vaccination. Together, these results clearly demonstrate the decline of 17DD-YF-specific memory response along time in children primarily vaccinated at 9–12 months of age and support the need of booster regimen to guarantee the long-term persistence of memory components for children living in areas with high risk of YF transmission
