A soybean rust effector protease suppresses host immunity and cleaves a 3-deoxy-7-phosphoheptulonate synthase

A. S. Chicowski, M. Qi, H. Variz, M. Bredow, C. Montes-Serey, F. Caiazza, H. Dong, A. C. Margets, J. Mejias, J. Walley, C. Craik, K. F. Pedley, K. Aung, R. W. Innes, S. Whitham

This study identifies PpEC15, a soybean rust effector protease, which suppresses host immunity by cleaving a 3-deoxy-7-phosphoheptulonate synthase and modulating immune signaling pathways.

A Re-evaluation of phylogenomic data reveals that current understanding in wheat blast population biology and epidemiology is obfuscated by oversights in population sampling

M. L. Farman, J. P. Ascari, M. Rahnama, E. M. Del Ponte, K. F. Pedley, S. Martinez, J. M. C. Fernandes, B. Valent

The paper re-analyzes phylogenomic data to show that previous conclusions about wheat blast population biology and epidemiology are based on incomplete sampling of grass-infecting populations.

Recombination of standing variation in a multi-hybrid swarm drove adaptive radiation in a fungal pathogen and gave rise to two pandemic plant diseases

M. Rahnama, B. Condon, J. P. Ascari, J. R. Dupuis, E. M. Del Ponte, K. F. Pedley, S. Martinez, B. Valent, M. Farman

The paper shows that recombination of standing variation in a fungal hybrid swarm led to rapid adaptive radiation in Pyricularia oryzae, causing two new plant diseases.

Mai1 protein acts between host recognition of pathogen effectors and MAPK signaling

S. R. Hind, R. Roberts, K. F. Pedley, B. A. Diner, M. J. Szarzanowicz, D. Luciano-Rosario, B. B. Majhi, G. Popov, G. Sessa, C.-S. Oh, G. B. Martin

The paper identifies SlMai1 as a protein that links host recognition of pathogen effectors to MAPK signaling, enhancing PCD and disease resistance in plants.

Gene flow between divergent cereal- and grass-specific lineages of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae

P. Gladieux, B. Condon, S. Ravel, D. Soanes, J. L. Nunes Maciel, A. Nhani, L. Chen, R. Terauchi, M.-H. Lebrun, D. Tharreau, T. Mitchell, K. F. Pedley, B. Valent, N. Talbot, M. Farman, E. Fournier

This study uses whole-genome sequencing of 76 Magnaporthe oryzae isolates to analyze population structure and gene flow, revealing multiple divergent lineages and evidence of inter-lineage genetic exchange.
