Contribution of hydrogen cyanide to the antagonistic activity of Pseudomonas strains against Phytophthora infestans

Anand, Abhishek ; Chinchilla, Delphine ; Tan, Christopher ; Mène-Saffrané, Laurent ; L’Haridon, Floriane ; Weisskopf, Laure

In: Microorganisms, 2020, vol. 8, no. 8, p. 1144

Plants face many biotic and abiotic challenges in nature; one of them is attack by disease-causing microbes. Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of late blight is one of the most prominent pathogens of the potato responsible for multi-billion-dollar losses every year. We have previously reported that potato-associated Pseudomonas strains inhibited P. infestans at various developmental...

S-methyl methanethiosulfonate: promising late blight inhibitor or broad range toxin?

Joller, Charlotte ; Vrieze, Mout De ; Moradi, Aboubakr ; Fournier, Claudine ; Chinchilla, Delphine ; L’Haridon, Floriane ; Bruisson, Sebastien ; Weisskopf, Laure

In: Pathogens, 2020, vol. 9, no. 6, p. 496

(1) Background: S-methyl methanethiosulfonate (MMTS), a sulfur containing volatile organic compound produced by plants and bacterial species, has recently been described to be an efficient anti-oomycete agent with promising perspectives for the control of the devastating potato late blight disease caused by Phytophthora infestans. However, earlier work raised questions regarding the putative...

Linking comparative genomics of nine potato-associated pseudomonas isolates with their differing biocontrol potential against late blight

Vrieze, Mout De ; Varadarajan, Adithi R. ; Schneeberger, Kerstin ; Bailly, Aurélien ; Rohr, Rudolf P. ; Ahrens, Christian H. ; Weisskopf, Laure

In: Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020, vol. 11, p. 857

For plants, the advantages of associating with beneficial bacteria include plant growth promotion, reduction of abiotic and biotic stresses and enhanced protection against various pests and diseases. Beneficial bacteria rightly equipped for successful plant colonization and showing antagonistic activity toward plant pathogens seem to be actively recruited by plants. To gain more insights into...

A Phytophthora effector protein promotes symplastic cell-to-cell trafficking by physical interaction with plasmodesmata-localised callose synthases

Tomczynska, Iga ; Stumpe, Michael ; Doan, Tu Giang ; Mauch, Felix

In: New Phytologist, 2020, p. -

Pathogen effectors act as disease promoting factors that target specific host proteins with roles in plant immunity. Here, we investigated the function of the RxLR3 effector of the plant‐pathogen Phytophthora brassicae .Arabidopsis plants expressing a FLAG‐ RxLR3 fusion protein were used for co‐immunoprecipitation followed by liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry to identify...

Genome insights of the plant-growth promoting bacterium Cronobacter muytjensii JZ38 with volatile-mediated antagonistic activity against Phytophthora infestans

Eida, Abdul Aziz ; Bougouffa, Salim ; L’Haridon, Floriane ; Alam, Intikhab ; Weisskopf, Laure ; Bajic, Vladimir B. ; Saad, Maged M. ; Hirt, Heribert

In: Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020, vol. 11, p. 369

Salinity stress is a major challenge to agricultural productivity and global food security in light of a dramatic increase of human population and climate change. Plant growth promoting bacteria can be used as an additional solution to traditional crop breeding and genetic engineering. In the present work, the induction of plant salt tolerance by the desert plant endophyte Cronobacter sp. ...

Biocontrol activity of three Pseudomonas in a newly assembled collection of Phytophthora infestans isolates

De Vrieze, Mout ; Gloor, Ramona ; Massana Codina, Josep ; Torriani, Stefano ; Gindro, Katia ; L?Haridon, Floriane ; Bailly, Aurélien ; Weisskopf, Laure

In: Phytopathology, 2019, vol. 109, no. 9, p. 1555–1565

Late blight caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans constitutes the greatest threat to potato production worldwide. Considering the increasing concerns regarding the emergence of novel fungicide-resistant genotypes and the general demand for reducing inputs of synthetic and copper-based fungicides, the need for alternative control methods is acute. Several bacterial antagonists have...

A substrate of the ABC transporter PEN3 stimulates bacterial flagellin (flg22)-induced callose deposition in Arabidopsis thaliana

Matern, Andreas ; Böttcher, Christoph ; Eschen-Lippold, Lennart ; Westermann, Bernhard ; Smolka, Ulrike ; Döll, Stefanie ; Trempel, Fabian ; Aryal, Bibek ; Scheel, Dierk ; Geisler, Markus ; Rosahl, Sabine

In: Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2019, vol. 294, no. 17, p. 6857–6870

Nonhost resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana against Phytophthora infestans, a filamentous eukaryotic microbe and the causal agent of potato late blight, is based on a multilayered defense system. Arabidopsis thaliana controls pathogen entry through the penetration-resistance genes PEN2 and PEN3, encoding an atypical myrosinase and an ABC transporter, respectively, required for synthesis and...

Combining different potato-associated pseudomonas strains for improved biocontrol of Phytophthora infestans

Vrieze, Mout De ; Germanier, Fanny ; Vuille, Nicolas ; Weisskopf, Laure

In: Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018, vol. 9, p. -

Late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans is considered as the most devastating disease of potato and is a re-emerging problem worldwide. Current late blight control practices rely mostly on synthetic fungicides or copper-based products, but growing awareness of the negative impact of these compounds on the environment has led to the search for alternative control measures. A collection of...

A conserved RxLR effector interacts with host RABA-type GTPases to inhibit vesicle-mediated secretion of antimicrobial proteins

Tomczynska, Iga ; Stumpe, Michael ; Mauch, Felix

In: The Plant Journal, 2018, vol. 95, no. 2, p. 187–203

Plant pathogens of the oomycete genus Phytophthora produce virulence factors, known as RxLR effector proteins that are transferred into host cells to suppress disease resistance. Here, we analyse the function of the highly conserved RxLR24 effector of Phytophthora brassicae. RxLR24 was expressed early in the interaction with Arabidopsis plants and ectopic expression in the host enhanced leaf...
