Abstract:
Within- and among-tree variation in assemblages of endophytic fungi in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) needles were studied in a subarctic area where background pollution values are low; the effects of tree density and prolonged simulated acid rain on the occurrence of endophytic fungi were investigated. The needle endophyte most frequently isolated was Cenangium ferruginosum, accounting for 64% of all fungal individuals, followed by Cyclaneusma minus (12% of all individuals). Old needles were colonized more frequently by endophytes than young ones. In young needles the colonization by endophytes increased during the summer, whereas in old ones no seasonal variation was detected. Endophyte colonization was positively correlated with stand density and was reduced on pines treated with spring water acidified with either sulphuric acid alone or in combination with nitric acid. In contrast, nitric acid alone did not affect endophyte colonization. Key words: endophytes, needles, pine, Pinus, simulated acid rain, stand density.

Abstract:
Plant-associated endophytes define an important symbiotic association in nature and are established bio-reservoirs of plant-derived natural products. Endophytes colonize the internal tissues of a plant without causing any disease symptoms or apparent changes. Recently, there has been a growing interest in endophytes because of their beneficial effects on the production of novel metabolites of pharmacological significance. Studies have highlighted the socio-economic implications of endophytic fungi in agriculture, medicine, and the environment, with considerable success. Endophytic fungi-mediated biosynthesis of well-known metabolites includes taxol from Taxomyces andreanae, azadirachtin A and B from Eupenicillium parvum, vincristine from Fusarium oxysporum, and quinine from Phomopsis sp. The discovery of the billion-dollar anticancer drug taxol was a landmark in endophyte biology/research and established new paradigms for the metabolic potential of plant-associated endophytes. In addition, endophytic fungi have emerged as potential prolific producers of antimicrobials, antiseptics, and antibiotics of plant origin. Although extensively studied as a “production platform” of novel pharmacological metabolites, the molecular mechanisms of plant–endophyte dynamics remain less understood/explored for their efficient utilization in drug discovery. The emerging trends in endophytic fungi-mediated biosynthesis of novel bioactive metabolites, success stories of key pharmacological metabolites, strategies to overcome the existing challenges in endophyte biology, and future direction in endophytic fungi-based drug discovery forms the underlying theme of this article.

Abstract:
Background The difference of metabolites in medicinal plants has always been concerned to be influenced by external environmental factors. However, the relationship between endophytes and host metabolites remains unclear. Methods In this study, we used 16S and ITS amplicon sequencing to compare endophyte diversity among different tissue types and ages of Gentiana officinalis. Endophyte diversity and abundance was also analyzed in relation to the abundance of four secondary metabolites (Gentiopicroside, Loganic acid, Swertiamarine and Sweroside). Results The diversity and richness of G. officinalis endophyte differed as a function of tissue types and ages. Four metabolites of G. officinalis were significantly correlated with the abundance of dominant endophyte genera. The predictive function analysis showed that metabolism was main function of endophytic bacteria in different tissue and year root samples, while saprotroph was dominant trophic modes of endophytic fungi in the different year root samples. The dominant trophic modes of endophytic fungi was saprotroph and pathotroph, and relative abundances differed in the different tissue samples. The results of this study will help to elucidate the plant-microbial interactions and provide key information on the role of endophytes in the production of G.officinalis and its important metabolites.

Abstract:
The diversity of culturable and nonculturable bacterial endophytes of grapevine ( Vitis vinifera L.) was examined using a combination of cultivation and molecular methods. Entire grapevines were sampled to characterize bacterial diversity from different locations throughout the vine. Gas chromatography of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) was used to identify culturable isolates prior to subsequent further microbiological characterization, whilst denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) was used to profile the ribosomal DNA of the bacterial endophyte community extracted from grapevines. Gas chromatography of FAMEs identified 75% of culturable bacterial endophytes to genus level (similarity index >0.3). Many isolates were identified as Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp., and Curtobacterium spp. Additionally, actinomycetes are reported for the first time as endophytes of grapevines, with a number of isolates identified as Streptomyces spp. DGGE was successfully used to identify major bands present in samples and indicated a degree of homogeneity of bacterial endophyte community profiles within the grapevines sampled. The major bacterial bands were sequenced and used in identification. Comparison with bacterial markers produced from cultured bacterial endophytes suggested that bacteria in the DGGE profiles were not the species most commonly cultured. Additional research demonstrated similarities between epiphytic and endophytic populations and examined potential entry vectors. Endophyte entry was demonstrated in both field-grown and potted grapevines (‘Chardonnay’) using a rifampicin-resistant Bacillus cereus mutant. The possibility of grapevine epiphytes becoming endophytes, if the opportunity arises, was supported by comparison of gas chromatography of FAMEs from epiphytic and endophytic populations. This research adds grapevine bacterial endophyte communities to those that have been characterized by a multifaceted approach.

Abstract:
Fungal endophytes that colonize forest trees are widespread, but they are less well known than endophytes infecting grasses. The few studies on endophytes in trees mainly concern the tropical areas and the northernmost latitudes, while similar investigations in the Mediterranean region have so far been scarce and incidental. Endophytes are studied mostly in economically important forests suffering from diseases, such as oak forests. One common endophyte that has received some study on oak is the mitosporic Discula quercina. This paper, after first addressing some basic problems on tree endophytes, examines the ecology of D. quercina in Mediterranean oak stands. D. quercina is usually viewed as a symptomless colonizer of healthy Quercus cerris, infecting new leaves early in the growing season, in an unstable equilibrium between transient mutualism/neutralism and latent pathogenesis. It is postulated here that climatic factors can change the endophytic nature of D. quercina, turning it into a weak pathogen or an opportunistic invader of senescing and indeed healthy trees. It is argued more generally that stochastic events can cause the lifestyle of an endophyte to switch from beneficial/neutral to pathogenic, transforming the tree–endophyte interaction, an interaction that depends in part on the matching genomes of the tree and endophyte, and on the environmental context.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The effect of single actinobacterial endophyte seed inoculants and a mixed microbial soil inoculant on the indigenous endophytic actinobacterial population in wheat roots was investigated by using the molecular technique terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP). Wheat was cultivated either from seeds coated with the spores of single pure actinobacterial endophytes of Microbispora sp. strain EN2, Streptomyces sp. strain EN27, and Nocardioides albus EN46 or from untreated seeds sown in soil with and without a commercial mixed microbial soil inoculant. The endophytic actinobacterial population within the roots of 6-week-old wheat plants was assessed by T-RFLP. Colonization of the wheat roots by the inoculated actinobacterial endophytes was detected by T-RFLP, as were 28 to 42 indigenous actinobacterial genera present in the inoculated and uninoculated plants. The presence of the commercial mixed inoculant in the soil reduced the endophytic actinobacterial diversity from 40 genera to 21 genera and reduced the detectable root colonization by approximately half. The results indicate that the addition of a nonadapted microbial inoculum to the soil disrupted the natural actinobacterial endophyte population, reducing diversity and colonization levels. This was in contrast to the addition of a single actinobacterial endophyte to the wheat plant, where the increase in colonization level could be confirmed even though the indigenous endophyte population was not adversely affected.

Abstract:
The endophytic mycobiota of the galls of pine needle gall midge, Thecodiplosis japonensis, and healthy current-year needles of Pinus densiflora and the F2 hybrid pine (Pinus thunbergii × (P. thunbergii × P. densiflora)) was compared. Phialocephala sp. was the dominant endophyte isolated from the galls and from the basal regions of healthy needles. Species richness in endophytes was facilitated in galls compared to the basal region of healthy needles, and the commencement of their colonization was hastened in galls. In the early stages of gall formation, however, no endophyte was isolated, suggesting that gall endophytes are not carried into the galls by the midge. Endophytes of healthy and galled pine needles were divided into two groups: position-specific fungi, which showed intrinsically restricted distributions on needles; and gall-specific fungi. These two groups might represent different ecological groups of endophytes. Possible interactions between endophytes and the pine needle gall midge are also discussed. Key words: endophytic fungi, Pinus densiflora, F2 hybrid pine, pine needle gall midge.

Full text
Abstract:
Endophytes are isolated from every plant species investigated to date, so the metabolome coevolution has been affecting the plants’ (microbiota) ethnobotanic, especially therapeutic, usage. Asteraceae fulfill the rationale for plant selection to isolate endophytes since most of the species of this family have a long tradition of healing usage, confirmed by modern pharmacognosy. The present review compiles recent references on the endophyte−Asteraceae spp. interactions, targeting the secondary metabolites profile as created by both members of this biological system. Endophyte fungi associated with Asteraceae have been collected globally, however, dominant taxa that produce bioactive compounds were specific for the plant populations of different geographic origins. Endophytic fungi richness within the host plant and the biological activity were positively associated. Moreover, the pharmacological action was linked to the plant part, so differential forms of biological interactions in roots, stem, leaves, inflorescences were developed between endophytic fungi and host plants. The comparative analysis of the Asteraceae host and/or fungal endophyte therapeutic activity showed similarities that need a future explanation on the metabolome level.

Abstract:
Endophytic microorganisms live inside the plants without causing any damage to their hosts. In the agricultural field, these endophytes might be a strategy of biological control for phytopathogens. We aimed to isolate endophytic fungi from yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) leaves, evaluating its biocontrol capacity by in vitro antagonism against phytopathogen Colletotrichum sp. CNPU378. We also carried out greenhouse experiments in bean seedlings. A high colonization frequency was obtained (89%), and the molecular identification based on DNA sequencing attested Colletotrichum as the most frequent genus and minor occurrence of Curvularia endophytes. The endophytes tested showed different types of competitive interactions in in vitro antagonism inhibition rate ranging from 28.8 to 48.8%. There were 10 promising antagonists tested for their antagonist activity of crude extracts of secondary metabolites, in which strain PE-36 (20.8%) stood out among the other strains evaluated. In the greenhouse assay, plants inoculated only with endophyte Colletotrichum sp. PE-36 was symptomless and suggest that the endophyte strengthened the growth promotion in common bean plants, especially in the root length and number of leaves when compared to control plants and other treatments. Despite many fungi of Colletotrichum genus being described as causative agents of anthracnose, in this study, the plant sampled was colonized predominantly by Colletotrichum endophytes living in asymptomatic relationship. By the way, we come across a Colletotrichum sp. endophyte able to antagonize a Colletotrichum sp. pathogen.

Abstract:
Asexual Epichloë fungi are strictly seed-transmitted endophytic symbionts of cool-season grasses and spend their entire life cycle within the host plant. Endophyte infection can confer protective benefits to its host through the production of bioprotective compounds. Inversely, plants provide nourishment and shelter to the resident endophyte in return. Current understanding of the changes in global gene expression of asexual Epichloë endophytes during the early stages of host-endophyte symbiotum is limited. A time-course study using a deep RNA-sequencing approach was performed at six stages of germination, using seeds infected with one of three endophyte strains belonging to different representative taxa. Analysis of the most abundantly expressed endophyte genes identified that most were predicted to have a role in stress and defence responses. The number of differentially expressed genes observed at early time points was greater than those detected at later time points, suggesting an active transcriptional reprogramming of endophytes at the onset of seed germination. Gene ontology enrichment analysis revealed dynamic changes in global gene expression consistent with the developmental processes of symbiotic relationships. Expression of pathway genes for biosynthesis of key secondary metabolites was studied comprehensively and fuzzy clustering identified some unique expression patterns. Furthermore, comparisons of the transcriptomes from three endophyte strains in planta identified genes unique to each strain, including genes predicted to be associated with secondary metabolism. Findings from this study highlight the importance of better understanding the unique properties of individual endophyte strains and will serve as an excellent resource for future studies of host-endophyte interactions.

Abstract:
Endophyte infected Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is the most dominant grass used for pasture in the Southeastern U.S. As a result, fescue toxicosis is a major concern. Producers need alternative forages for grazing cattle that do not have this negative aspect. The objective of this experiment was to determine the grazing behavior of cattle grazing Lakota (L) prairie grass (Bromus catharticus Vahl.), endophyte infected (E+), endophyte free (E-), and novel endophyte (Q) tall fescues. Angus-crossbred steers (279±8 kg) steers wore electronic behavior data recorders in four sampling periods, and direct visual appraisals of behavior were taken in five sampling periods during the months of May to September, 2004. Overall, during the visual appraisal phase steers grazing L spent most time (P<0.05) grazing while E+ spent the least time grazing. Overall, steers grazing E+ spent more time (P<0.05) idling than those on L, E-, or Q. Steers grazing E+ spent more time (P<0.05) standing than steers grazing Q. Steers grazing Q and E- spent more time (P<0.05) lying than those grazing E+. During the data recorder phase there were no significant differences between treatments for time spent grazing. Steers grazing E+ spent less time (P<0.05) lying and ruminating than steers grazing Q or L. Conversely, time spent standing and idling for steers grazing E+ was higher (P<0.05) than for steers grazing Q or L. These results indicate that L, E-, and Q may offer benefits to producers due to more time spent in productive activities during summer months.

Abstract:
Pinus radiata is the most planted tree in the southern hemisphere. The planted trees are especially susceptible to pathogens, but even the native population, nowadays limited tomerely five locations, are threatened by diseases caused by arthropods, fungi and dehydration. Endophytes are bacteria or fungi that reside inside healthy plant tissue, and often have a beneficial effect on their hosts. Endophytes can help plants adapt to abiotic stress such as drought and protect them against pathogens and insect pests. Given the roles that endophytes play in host stress responses, it is possible that without studying endophytes we may not fully understand a plant’s response to increased temperatures and climate-induced disease.Using Illumina-sequencing of the 16S rRNA-gene the bacterial endophyte community in 15 trees from three of the remaining native populations were studied. By investigating trees from several sites geographical community differences were discovered. The three overall most dominating bacterial taxa can all be connected with genera known to contain members withanti-fungal properties.

Abstract:
Dans les conditions naturelles, les plantes interagissent avec une grande diversité de microorganismes, entretenant avec elles des types d’interactions variées allant du mutualisme à la pathogénie. Quelque soit le type d’interaction mis en place, les plantes sont capables de reconnaitre des motifs moléculaires microbiens conservés qui induisent l’activation d’une réponse immunitaire dite « non-hôte ». Cette réponse immunitaire basale a largement été étudiée dans le cas des interactions avec des microorganismes mutualistes et pathogènes. Cependant, dans le cas des « symbioses associatives » avec des rhizobactéries ou des bactéries endophytes bénéfiques, regroupées sous le terme de Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR), les réponses immunitaires et physiologiques des plantes ont très peu été décrites. Dans ce contexte, ce projet de thèse a eu pour objectif de décrire les régulations transcriptionnelles de la monocotylédone modèle, le riz, en réponse à l’interaction avec des bactéries bénéfiques -rhizosphériques ou endophytes- et pathogènes du genre Burkholderia sensu lato (s.l.). Ce genre ubiquiste de béta-protéobactéries a la particularité d'avoir été subdivisé en deux genres aux écologies distinctes : le genre Paraburkholderia regroupant des espèces environnementales et bénéfiques des plantes, et le genre Burkholderia sensu stricto (s.s.) qui regroupe des espèces opportunistes et pathogènes de l'homme ainsi que des pathogènes de plantes, mais aussi des espèces phytobénéfiques (comme B. vietnamiensis). L’analyse par RNA-Seq de la réponse transcriptomique du riz à trois souches endophytes, Paraburkholderia kururiensis M130, Burkholderia vietnamiensis TVV75 et Paraburkholderia phytofirmans PsJN, ont permis de mettre en évidence des régulations physiologiques contrastées en fonction de la souche inoculée. De plus, des analyses comparatives de la colonisation des tissus racinaires par ces souches ont pu associer certaines de ces régulations à différents modes de colonisation. Enfin, l’expression de gènes impliqués dans la réponse immunitaire des plantes, identifiés par l’analyse fonctionnelle des transcriptomes, a été mesurée au cours de cinétiques d’interaction avec une plus large diversité de souches. Pour cela, dix souches de Burkholderia s.l., comprenant trois souches pathogènes, ainsi que trois souches PGPR modèles du riz des genres Azospirillum, Herbaspirillum et Pseudomonas ont été choisies. Cette dernière approche a permis de mettre en évidence des régulations transcriptionnelles associées à des types de colonisation, rhizosphérique et endophytique, ou d’interactions, bénéfiques et délétères. Ces travaux s’intègrent dans la caractérisation des bases moléculaires de la réponse des plantes aux microorganismes bénéfiques qui représentent un potentiel important pour le développement de solutions agronomiques durables favorisant la nutrition et la résistance des plantes aux maladies
In natural conditions, plants interact with a large diversity of microorganisms maintaining with them various types of interaction ranging from mutualism to pathogenesis. Whatever the type of interaction established, the plants are able to recognize conserved microbial molecular motifs which trigger a so-called “non-host” immune response when perceived. This basal immune response has been extensively studied in the case of interactions with mutualistic and pathogenic microorganisms. However, in the case of “associative symbiosis” with beneficial rhizobacteria or bacterial endophytes, grouped under the term Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR), the immune and physiological responses of plants have been scarcely described. In this context, this thesis project aimed at describing the transcriptional regulations of the model monocotyledonous rice, in response to the interaction with beneficial -rhizospheric or endophytic- and pathogenic bacteria of the genus Burkholderia sensu lato (s.l.). This ubiquitous genus of beta-proteobacteria has the particularity of having been subdivided into two genera with distinct ecologies: the genus Paraburkholderia, which groups together environmental and plant-associated species, and the genus Burkholderia sensu stricto (s.s.), which groups together human opportunistic and pathogenic species but also phytobeneficial species such as B. vietnamiensis. RNA-Seq analysis of the transcriptomic response of rice to three endophytic strains, Paraburkholderia kururiensis M130, Burkholderia vietnamiensis TVV75 and Paraburkholderia phytofirmans PsJN, revealed contrasting physiological regulations depending on the inoculated strain; in addition, comparative analyses of root tissue colonization by these strains enabled to associate some of these regulations with different colonization patterns. Finally, the expression of genes involved in the immune response of plants, identified by the functional analysis of transcriptomes, was measured during interaction kinetics with a wider diversity of strains. For this, ten strains of Burkholderia s.l., comprising three pathogenic strains, as well as three model rice PGPR strains of the genera Azospirillum, Herbaspirillum and Pseudomonas were selected. This last approach highlighted transcriptional regulations associated with the types of colonization, rhizospheric and endophytic, or interaction, beneficial and deleterious.This work is part of the characterization of the molecular bases of plants’ response to beneficial microorganisms which represent an important potential for the development of sustainable agronomic solutions favoring nutrition and plant resistance to diseases

Abstract:
Les champignons endophytes sont des microorganismes non-pathogènes impliqués dans des associations mutualistes avec les plantes. Les endophytes foliaires, en particulier, représentent un groupe très divers, mais leurs interactions avec la plante hôte et ses micro-organismes associés sont peu connues. Des travaux préliminaires initiés par notre équipe, explorant la diversité microbienne foliaire du conifère Cephalotaxus harringtonia, ont permis d’isoler la souche fongique Paraconiothyrium variabile (Ascomycota), un antagoniste du phytopathogène Fusarium oxysporum. Au cours de leur interaction, on détecte des quantités moindres de beauvéricine, une mycotoxine synthétisée par F. oxysporum. En parallèle, on observe une augmentation de la synthèse de deux oxylipines, l’acide 13-hydroperoxyoctadécadiénoïque (13-HPODE) et l’acide 13-oxo-octadécadiénoïque (13-oxo-ODE), dans la zone de confrontation. L'objectif de ce travail était de comprendre les mécanismes conduisant à la diminution de la beauvéricine au cours de l'interaction et d'explorer le rôle des oxylipines dans la régulation de cette dernière. Dans mon travail de thèse, je montre la présence de deux gènes lox chez P. variabile (pvlox1 et pvlox2) codant tous deux pour des manganèse lipoxygénases, potentiellement à l'origine des acides 13-HPODE et 13-oxo-ODE. Pvlox2 est spécifiquement induit pendant l'interaction, et ces résultats sont corroborés par une synthèse accrue de 13-HPODE chez P. variabile. Par ailleurs, l'interaction avec l’endophyte, ainsi que l'ajout de l’oxylipine 13-HPODE, régulent positivement la voie de biosynthèse de la beauvéricine, comme l’indiquent les teneurs plus élevées en mycotoxines observées chez F. oxysporum. Enfin, nous avons montré que la beauvéricine inhibait la croissance de l’endophyte, mais que ce dernier était capable de dégrader la mycotoxine, expliquant ainsi les faibles quantités de beauvericine observées initialement dans la zone de compétition. Ce travail contribue à la compréhension du rôle des oxylipines dans la communication inter-microbienne
Endophytic fungi are non-pathogenic microorganisms involved in mutualistic associations with their host. Foliar endophytes, in particular, represent a very diverse group but little is known about their interactions with the host and its associated micro-organisms. In preliminary work, exploring the leaf microbial diversity of the conifer Cephalotaxus harringtonia, our team isolated the fungal strain Paraconiothyrium variabile (Ascomycota), an antagonist of the phytopathogen Fusarium oxysporum. During their interaction, decreased amounts of the F. oxysporum mycotoxin beauvericin, and higher amounts of the two oxylipins, 13-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HPODE) and 13-oxo-octadecadienoic acid (13-oxo-ODE), were observed in the confrontation zone. The objective of the present work was to understand the mechanisms leading to beauvericin decrease during the interaction and to explore the role of oxylipins in beauvericin regulation. In my thesis work I show the presence of two lox genes in P. variabile (pvlox1 and pvlox2) coding both for manganese lipoxygenases, potentially at the origin of 13-HPODE and 13-oxo-ODE. Pvlox2 is specifically induced during the interaction, which lead to an increased synthesis of 13-HPODE in P. variabile. The endophyte itself, as well as the oxylipin 13-HPODE, up-regulated the beauvericin biosynthesis gene beas, which was paralleled by higher mycotoxin content in the mycelium of F. oxysporum. Finally, we showed that beauvericin inhibited the endophyte’s growth, but the latter was capable to degrade the mycotoxin, which explains the lower amounts of beauvericin found in the competition zone. This work presents pioneer undertaking to elucidate the role of oxylipins in inter-microbial crosstalk

Abstract:
Abstract Mutualism is often conditional and the associations vary from antagonism to mutualism along environmental conditions and genotypes of interacting species. I studied antagonism-mutualism continuum hypothesis of symbiosis experimentally using two different Epichloë/Neotyphodium endophytes and their host grasses, agricultural meadow fescues and natural fine fescue, as study systems. These systemic fungal endophytes live asymptomatically within aerial tissues of grasses, and are vertically transmitted to the next grass generation via seeds. Thus, asexual endophyte strains are dependent on the growth, survival and reproduction of their hosts. Epichloë/Neotyphodium endophytes are considered plant mutualists, because they improve the resistance of the host against various stresses, e.g. herbivores. In addition to experimental approach, I examined prevalence and genetic structure of Epichloë festucae in natural grass populations. Finally, current knowledge concerning grass endophytes was reviewed and the effects of variable environment and genetic background on the ecology and the evolution of grass-endophyte symbiosis were discussed. The endophyte improved the performance of the agronomic meadow fescues, but the beneficial effects were dependent on the grass cultivar and the growth environment. The endophyte-infected (E+) meadow fescues were more susceptible to the pathogenic snow molds and they suffered increased winter damage compared to the endophyte-free (E-) plants. Many natural Festuca rubra and F. ovina populations were either endophyte-free or had low infection frequency. The highest infection frequencies were found in subarctic areas where the infection incidence differed between habitats. Twenty out of the 25 E. festucae genotypes detected were carrying multiple alleles in microsatellite loci indicating multiple infections or vegetative hybridization of the fungus. A dominant genotype (63.5% of all isolates) occurred in all populations suggesting that this fungus is mainly asexual. E+ F. ovina seedlings performed worse than endophyte-free E- seedlings. In F. rubra, the river bank originated E+ seedlings allocated fewer, but longer and heavier tillers than the other seedlings indicating possible improved performance of the endophyte infected grasses in harsh river bank conditions. In short, I detected both positive and negative effects of endophyte infection on grasses varying along species, environment and genotypic background of study subjects. The results support the antagonism-mutualism continuum hypothesis.

Abstract:
Janthitrems are believed to be involved in the observed sporadic cases of AR37- infected perennial ryegrass staggers. Investigations into the role of janthitrems in perennial ryegrass staggers are difficult as isolation of the compounds from the ryegrass is hindered by the inherent instability of these compounds. Therefore attempts were made to isolate janthitrems from an alternative source, allowing these janthitrem analogues to be used as surrogates for endophyte produced janthitrems. Analysis of a series of Penicillium janthinellum cultures revealed the presence of janthitrems in a number of strains, including janthitrem B, janthitrem C and two novel janthitrem compounds. Detailed one- and two-dimensional NMR and mass spectral techniques identified the two novel compounds as 11,12- epoxyjanthitrems B and C, which were subsequently given the trivial names janthitrems A and D, respectively. Janthitrems B and C were isolated and identified by NMR and revisions of some previously reported chemical shift assignments were proposed. In addition to the janthitrems, penitrems were also identified in two strains of P. janthinellum. The isolated janthitrem B was utilised for the development of efficient extraction procedures, and for the determination of ideal storage conditions for janthitrem compounds. A method for the extraction and isolation of janthitrem B from a P. janthinellum culture was developed and optimised to yield 6 mg of janthitrem B from 900 mL of fungal culture in two days. Stability studies of janthitrem B indicated the ideal storage condition which minimised degradation was dry at −80 C where only 7% sample loss was observed over 300 days. Bioactivity studies of janthitrems A and B found these compounds to be tremorgenic to mice, with janthitrem A (an epoxyjanthitrem) inducing more severe tremors than janthitrem B. Insect testing also showed that both janthitrems A and B displayed anti-insect activity to porina larvae. Since the epoxyjanthitrems, which are associated with AR37 endophyte-infected ryegrass, were also shown to be tremorgenic and to display anti-insect activity, the insect resistance and the sporadic cases of ryegrass staggers displayed by AR37 may be related to the presence of epoxyjanthitrem compounds. LC-UV-MS analysis of janthitrems A-D, penitrems A-F, lolitrem B, paspalinine, paxilline and terpendole C found these indole-diterpenoids to be more sensitive by analysis using an APCI source as opposed to an ESI source. APCI negative ion LC-UV-MS required source induced dissociation in combination with increased collision energy to suppress an acetate adduct peak, sourced from the acetic acid buffer. Negative ion MS2 and MS3 data produced more informative fragments compared to the conventional positive ion MS2 and MS3 data. The availability of both positive and negative ion LC-UV-MS methodologies will allow future endophyte products to be more thoroughly screened for different classes of secondary metabolites. Extracts of mouldy walnuts were analysed for the presence of tremorgenic mycotoxins after a dog was found to exhibit symptoms characteristic of tremorgenic mycotoxicosis. LC-UV-MS analysis of the mouldy walnuts identified the tremorgenic mycotoxins penitrems A-F, thus confirming the veterinarian's tentative diagnosis of canine tremorgenic mycotoxicosis the first reported case in New Zealand.

Abstract:
Symbioses between cool-season grasses (Subfamily Pooideae) and endophytic fungi in the genera Epichlo and Neotyphodium straddle a continuum of interactions from antagonistic to highly mutualistic. Although these two genera of endophytes are closely related, Neotyphodium endophytes are strictly seed-transmitted and provide many physiological and defensive benefits to their hosts, while Epichlo spp. have an obligately sexual contagious stage wherein host inflorescences are replaced by fungal sexual structures (stromata), effectively sterilizing the plant. Between these two extremes of interactions are Epichlo spp. with a mixed strategy, where some grass tillers are sterilized while others develop normally and yield healthy endophyte-infected seeds. These symbioses offer a unique opportunity to dissect evolutionary mechanisms that may drive movement along this continuum. The research presented characterizes distinct hybridization processes in endophytes and grasses that result in the generation of astounding genetic diversity for the symbiosis. Interspecific hybridization via hyphal anatomosis is a common feature of Neotyphodium endophytes, and may promote mutualism by combining suites of defensive alkaloid genes and ameliorating the adverse evolutionary effects of an asexual lifestyle. My results demonstrate that several genetically distinct hybrid endophytes infect grass species in tribe Poeae. Further, I show that a highly mutualistic asexual endophyte infecting tall fescue (=Festuca arundinaceum Schreb.), Neotyphodium coenophialum, also infects two closely related and interfertile relatives of this host. My findings suggest that this seed-borne endophyte may have been introgressed into these grasses through sexual grass hybridization events. These findings highlight interspecific hybridization as a means of generating tremendous genetic variability in both endophytes and their hosts, thus magnifying the adaptive evolutionary potential of these symbioses. Further, I establish a phylogenetic framework for grasses naturally harboring Epichlo and Neotyphodium endophytes. I show that patterns of genetic divergence among grass lineages are emulated by those of their fungal symbionts. These results suggest that endophytes have co-evolved with grasses in subfamily Pooideae, and may have played a critical role in the evolutionary success and radiation of this group of grasses.

Full text
Abstract:
Major threats to agricultural sustainability in the 21st century are drought, increasing temperatures, soil salinity and soilborne pathogens, all of which are being exacerbated by climate change and pesticide abolition and are burning issues related to agriculture in the Middle East. We have found that Class 2 fungal endophytes adapt native plants to environmental stresses (drought, heat and salt) in a habitat-specific manner, and that these endophytes can confer stress tolerance to genetically distant monocot and eudicot hosts. In the past, we generated a uv non-pathogenic endophytic mutant of Colletotrichum magna (path-1) that colonized cucurbits, induced drought tolerance and enhanced growth, and protected 85% - 100% against disease caused by certain pathogenic fungi. We propose: 1) utilizing path-1 and additional endophtyic microorganisms to be isolated from stress-tolerant local, wild cucurbit watermelon, Citrulluscolocynthis, growing in the Dead Sea and Arava desert areas, 2) generate abiotic and biotic tolerant melon crop plants, colonized by the isolated endophytes, to increase crop yields under extreme environmental conditions such as salinity, heat and drought stress, 3) manage soilborne fungal pathogens affecting curubit crop species growing in the desert areas. This is a unique and novel "systems" approach that has the potential to utilize natural plant adaptation for agricultural development. We envisage that endophyte-colonized melons will eventually be used to overcome damages caused by soilborne diseases and also for cultivation of this crop, under stress conditions, utilizing treated waste water, thus dealing with the limited resource of fresh water.

Abstract:
Endophytes were isolated from 16.7% of surface-disinfested seeds and 100% of stems and roots of field-growth plants. Strains from Israel with broad-spectrum in vitro antibiosis were mainly Bacillus spp., and some were chitinolytic. Following dipping of cut cotton roots into suspensions of these strains, endophytes were detected up to 72 days later by isolation and by autoradiograms of 14C-labelled bacteria. Selected endophytes exhibited biological control potential based on significant reductions in disease severity on cotton inoculated with Rhizoctonia solani or Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum as well as control of Sclerotium rolfsii on bean. Neither salicylic acid nor chitinase levels increased in plants as a result of endophytic colonization, suggesting that the observed biocontrol was not accounted for by PR protein production. Some biocontrol endophytes secreted chitinolytic enzymes. Model endophytic strains inoculated into cotton stems via stem injection showed only limited movement within the stem. When introduced into stems at low concentrations, endophytes increased in population density at the injection site. After examining several experimental and semi-practical inoculation systems, seed treatment was selected as an efficient way to reintroduce most endophytes into plants.

Full text
Abstract:
The intent of this proposal was to study the interaction between nonpathogenic mutants of Colletotrichum magna and Fusarium oxysporum, and the cucurbit host defense system. We had shown previously that a nonpathogenic endophytic mutant path- 1 of C. magna, caused no visible disease symptoms but protected watermelon seedlings from disease caused by the wildtype isolate and F. o. niveum. Objectives were: 1) Determine the microscopic, biochemical and molecular genetic interaction between "protected" (path- 1 colonized) cucurbit hosts and wildtype isolates of C. magna; 2) Isolate non-pathogenic mutants of F.o. melonis and test feasibility for protecting plants against fungal diseases. We found that path-1 caused no visible disease symptoms in cucurbit seedlings but conferred disease resistance against pathogenic isolates of C. magna, C. orbiculare, and F. oxysporum. Disease resistance conferred by path-1 correlated to a decrease in the time of activation of host defense systems after exposure of path-1 colonized plants to virulent pathogens. This was determined by monitoring the biochemical activity of PAL and peroxidase, and the deposition of lignin. It appears that path-1-conferred disease resistance is a multigenic phenomenon which should be more difficult for pathogen to overcome than single gene conferred resistance. Based on the benefits conferred by path-1, we have defined this mutant as expressing a mutualistic lifestyle. REMI (restriction enzyme-mediated integration) nonpathogenic mutants were also isolated using pHA1.3 plasmid linearized with Hind III and transformed into wildtype C. magna. The integrated vector and flanking genomic DNA sequences in REMI mutant R1 was re-isolated and cloned resulting in a product of approximately 11 kb designated pGMR1. Transformations of wildtype C. magna with pGMR1 resulted in the same non-pathogenic phenotype. A nonpathogenic mutant of F.o. melonis (pathogenic to melon) was isolated that colonized melon plants but elicited no disease symptoms in seedlings and conferred 25 - 50% disease protection against the virulent wildtype isolate. Subsequently, nonpathogenic mutant isolates of F.o. niveum (pathogenic to watermelon) were also isolated. Their protection capacity against the respective wildtype parent is currently under investigation. This research has provided information toward a better understanding of host-parasite interactions; specifically, endophytes, pathogens and their hosts. It will also allow us to assess the potential for utilizing nonpathogenic mutants as biological control agents against fungal pathogens and isolating molecular genetic factors of pathogenicity in Fusarium.

Full text
Abstract:
Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Cmm), the causal agent of bacterial wilt and canker of tomato, is the most destructive bacterial disease of tomato causing substantial economic losses in Israel, the U.S.A. and worldwide. The molecular strategies that allow Cmm, a Gram-positive bacterium, to develop a successful infection in tomato plants are largely unknown. The goal of the project was to elucidate the molecular interactions between Cmmand tomato. The first objective was to analyze gene expression profiles of susceptible tomato plants infected with pathogenic and endophytic Cmmstrains. Microarray analysis identified 122 genes that were differentially expressed during early stages of infection. Cmm activated typical basal defense responses in the host including induction of defense-related genes, production of scavenging of free oxygen radicals, enhanced protein turnover and hormone synthesis. Proteomic investigation of the Cmm-tomato interaction was performed with Multi-Dimensional Protein Identification Technology (MudPIT) and mass spectroscopy. A wide range of enzymes secreted by Cmm382, including cell-wall degrading enzymes and a large group of serine proteases from different families were identified in the xylem sap of infected tomato. Based on proteomic results, the expression pattern of selected bacterial virulence genes and plant defense genes were examined by qRT-PCR. Expression of the plasmid-borne cellulase (celA), serine protease (pat-1) and serine proteases residing on the chp/tomA pathogenicity island (chpCandppaA), were significantly induced within 96 hr after inoculation. Transcription of chromosomal genes involved in cell wall degradation (i.e., pelA1, celB, xysA and xysB) was also induced in early infection stages. The second objective was to identify by VIGS technology host genes affecting Cmm multiplication and appearance of disease symptoms in plant. VIGS screening showed that out of 160 tomato genes, which could be involved in defense-related signaling, suppression of 14 genes led to increase host susceptibility. Noteworthy are the genes Snakin-2 (inhibitor of Cmm growth) and extensin-like protein (ELP) involved in cell wall fortification. To further test the significance of Snakin -2 and ELP in resistance towards Cmm, transgenic tomato plants over-expressing the two genes were generated. These plants showed partial resistance to Cmm resulting in a significant delay of the wilt symptoms and reduction in size of canker lesion compared to control. Furthermore, colonization of the transgenic plants was significantly lower. The third objective was to assess the involvement of ethylene (ET), jasmonate (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) in Cmm infection. Microarray and proteomic studies showed the induction of enzymes involved in ET and JA biosynthesis. Cmm promoted ET production 8 days after inoculation and SIACO, a key enzyme of ET biosynthesis, was upregulated. Inoculation of the tomato mutants Never ripe (Nr) impaired in ET perception and transgenic plants with reduced ET synthesis significantly delayed wilt symptoms as compared to the wild-type plants. The retarded wilting in Nr plants was shown to be a specific effect of ET insensitivity and was not due to altered expression of defense related genes, reduced bacterial population or decrease in ethylene biosynthesis . In contrast, infection of various tomato mutants impaired in JA biosynthesis (e.g., def1, acx1) and JA insensitive mutant (jai1) yielded unequivocal results. The fourth objective was to determine the role of cell wall degrading enzymes produced by Cmm in xylem colonization and symptoms development. A significance increase (2 to 7 fold) in expression of cellulases (CelA, CelB), pectate lyases (PelA1, PelA2), polygalacturonase and xylanases (XylA, XylB) was detected by qRT-PCR and by proteomic analysis of the xylem sap. However, with the exception of CelA, whose inactivation led to reduced wilt symptoms, inactivation of any of the other cell wall degrading enzymes did not lead to reduced virulence. Results achieved emphasized the complexity involved in Cmm-tomato interactions. Nevertheless they provide the basis for additional research which will unravel the mechanism of Cmm pathogenicity and formulating disease control measures.
