Inheritance and genetic mapping of resistance to Asian soybean rust in cultivar TMG 803

This study analyzed the inheritance and identified microsatellite markers linked to the resistance gene to Phakopsora pachyrhizi in soybean cultivar TMG 803. Hybridization between the cultivars TMG 803 and BRS Valiosa RR was performed to obtain F1 progenies and the F2 population. The response of the parents 'TMG 803' and 'BRS Valiosa RR' to P. pachyrhizi was, respectively, resistant and susceptible, and among the 116 F2 plants,93 were resistant and 23 susceptible, under natural infection and field conditions. It was found that the resistance of cultivar TMG 803 is controlled by one gene with complete dominance, mapped as resistance locus Rpp4 of linkage group G. Of the 16 tested, one microsatellite marker, sc21_3420, was completely linked to the resistance gene (distance 0.0cM) and the favorable allelic form was present in cultivar TMG 803, which may therefore be useful in assisted selection in segregating populations.Objetivou-se analisar a herança e identificar marcadores microssatélites ligados ao gene de resistência da 'TMG 803' à Phakopsora pachyrhizi. Foi realizada hibridação entre as cultivares TMG 803 e BRS Valiosa RR para obtenção da progênie F1 e população F2. Os genitores 'TMG 803' e 'BRS Valiosa RR' comportaram-se, respectivamente, como resistentes e suscetíveis e entre as 116 plantas F2, 93 comportaram-se como resistentes e 23 como suscetíveis à P. pachyrhizi, submetidas à infecção natural, em condições de campo. Verificou-se que a resistência da cultivar TMG 803 é governada por um gene com dominância completa, mapeado como o loco de resistência Rpp4, do grupo de ligação G. Dentre os 16 marcadores microssatélites testados, um marcador, sc21_3420, encontrou-se completamente ligado ao gene de resistência (distância de 0,0cM) estando a forma alélica favorável presente na cultivar TMG 803, podendo, portanto, ser útil na seleção assistida em populações segregantes

Influência do tratamento com etileno sobre o teor de sólidos solúveis e a cor de pimentas

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a variabilidade genética em frutos de Capsicum com relação ao acúmulo de sólidos solúveis totais, degradação de clorofila, síntese de carotenóides e tempo necessário para o completo amadurecimento de frutos, em resposta ao tratamento com ethephon. O tratamento com ethephon provocou alteração do conteúdo de sólidos solúveis totais em frutos dos acessos BGH 4366 (C. baccatum) e BGH 4708 (C. frutescens), enquanto os demais acessos não foram responsivos ao tratamento. O amadurecimento dos frutos foi caracterizado por decréscimo no conteúdo de clorofila e conteúdo de carotenóides, contudo, não foi detectada variabilidade genética entre os acessos para a degradação da clorofila e para a síntese de carotenóides, quando tratados com ethephon. O uso de ethephon acelerou o amadurecimento nos acessos BGH 4179 (C. frutescens), BGH 6029 (C. baccatum) e Ca 6 (C. annuum)

Padrão de integração de pAN7-1 em mutantes de Magnaporthe grisea com patogenicidade alterada em arroz pAN7-1 integration pattern in mutants of Magnaporthe grisea impaired in pathogenicity to rice

Ensaios foram conduzidos para verificar a presença, o número de cópias e de sítios de integração de pAN7-1 no genoma de mutantes de M. grisea I-22 com patogenicidade alterada em arroz. Foram analisados T41, T93, T251 (gerados por mutagênese REMI) e T108 (oriundo de mutagênese convencional), os quais exibiram diferentes fenótipos mutantes. O DNA total desses mutantes foi submetido à reação em cadeia de polimerase (PCR) e às análises de hibridização com o vetor (Southern blot). A presença de pAN7-1 no genoma de todos os mutantes foi confirmada por PCR. Segundo as análises de Southern blot, T41 exibiu duas integrações do vetor, ambas na forma de cópia única. No genoma de T93 também foram detectados dois sítios de inserção de pAN7-1, um dos quais envolvendo múltiplas cópias do vetor. Os resultados indicaram a presença de apenas uma cópia do vetor em um único sítio nos genomas de T108 e T251. O padrão de integração em T251 foi o único a sugerir a ocorrência de evento REMI. As diferenças quanto ao tamanho dos fragmentos com homologia a pAN7-1 refletiram a possível aleatoriedade dos eventos de integração no genoma de M. grisea. Os resultados evidenciaram o potencial de REMI para a mutagênese insercional de M. grisea, quando conduzida com pAN7-1 e HindIII<br>Experiments were conducted to investigate the presence, number of copies and integration site of pAN7-1 in the genome of mutants of Magnaporthe grisea impaired in pathogenicity to rice. The mutants T41, T93, T251 (obtained by REMI) and T108 (obtained by conventional mutagenesis) exhibiting different alterations in pathogenicity were analyzed. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blot analyses were conducted with total DNA of mutants. The presence of pAN7-1 in genome of mutants was confirmed by PCR. Based in Southern blot analyses, two single-copy integration of vector were detected in T41. Two insertion sites of pAN7-1 were detected in the genome of T93, including an event of tandem integration. The results indicated the presence of a single-copy vector in single location in T108 and T251 genomes. Only T251 showed integration pattern of pAN7-1 suggesting the occurrence of REMI event. The difference in size of hybridizing band indicated the possible randomness of integration events in M. grisea genome. The potential of REMI to mutagenesis in M. grisea, using pAN7-1 and HindIII, was evidenced

The repertoire of effector candidates in Colletotrichum lindemuthianum reveals important information about Colletotrichum genus lifestyle

The fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is the causal agent of anthracnose in the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), and anthracnose is one of the most devastating diseases of this plant species. However, little is known about the proteins that are essential for the fungus-plant interactions. Knowledge of the fungus’ arsenal of effector proteins is of great importance for understanding this pathosystem. In this work, we analyzed for the first time the arsenal of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum effector candidates (ClECs) and compared them with effector proteins from other species of the genus Colletotrichum, providing a valuable resource for studying the infection mechanisms of these pathogens in their hosts. Isolates of two physiological races (83.501 and 89 A2 2-3) of C. lindemuthianum were used to predict 353 and 349 ClECs, respectively. Of these ClECs, 63% were found to be rich in cysteine, have repetitive sequences of amino acids, and/or possess nuclear localization sequences. Several conserved domains were found between the ClECs. We also applied the effector prediction to nine species in the genus Colletotrichum, and the results ranged from 247 predicted effectors in Colletotrichum graminicola to 446 in Colletotrichum orbiculare. Twelve conserved domains were predicted in the effector candidates of all analyzed species of Colletotrichum. An expression analysis of the eight genes encoding the effector candidates in C. lindemuthianum revealed their induction during the biotrophic phase of the fungus on the bean
