The genome of a Far Eastern isolate of Diaporthe caulivora, a soybean fungal pathogen2023 •
Diaporthe caulivora is an economically important fungal pathogen and a causal agent of soybean stem canker and seed decay. Here, the genome of a Russian Far Eastern isolate of D. caulivora was sequenced, assembled, and announced. Assembly quality was enough for advanced annotation, including prediction of potential disease-related genes encoding virulence factors and molecular determinants contributing to pathogen-host selection, interactions, and adaptation. Comparative analysis of 15 Diaporthe species was conducted regarding general genome properties, collinearity, and proteomes, and included detailed investigation of interspersed repeats. A notable feature of this analysis is a high recombinant variability of Diaporthe genomes, determined by the number and distribution of interspersed repeats, which also proved to be responsible for the diversity of GC content and genome size. This variability is assumed the main determinant of the divergence of Diaporthe genomes. A Bayesian multi-gene phylogeny was inferred for the 15 Diaporthe species on the basis of twenty thousand polymorphic sites of > 100 orthologous genes using independently adjusted evolutionary models. This allowed for the most accurate determination of evolutionary relationships and species boundaries for effective reporting about these plant pathogens. The evidence, obtained by different genome analysis techniques, implies the host-independent evolution of Diaporthe species. Key points • The genome of a Far Eastern isolate of D. caulivora was announced. • A high degree of recombinant variability determines genomic divergence in Diaporthe genus. • The multi-gene phylogeny implies host-independent evolution of Diaporthe species.

A Coding Region in Diaporthe Helianthi Reveals Genetic Variability Among Isolates of Different Geographic OriginBackground: The early phases of Diaporthe helianthi pathogenesis on sunflower are characterized by the production of phytotoxins that may play a role in host colonisation. In previous studies, phytotoxins of a polyketidic nature were isolated and purified from culture filtrates of virulent strains of D. helianthi isolated from sunflower. A highly aggressive isolate (7/96) from France contained a gene fragment of a putative nonaketide synthase (lovB) which was conserved in a virulent D. helianthi population. Results: In order to investigate the role of polyketide synthases in D. helianthi 7/96, a draft genome of this isolate was examined. We were able to find and phylogenetically analyse 40 genes putatively coding for polyketide synthases (PKSs). Analysis of their domains revealed that most PKS genes of D. helianthi are reducing PKSs, whereas only eight lacked reducing domains. Most of the identified PKSs have orthologs shown to be virulence factors or genetic determinants for toxin production in other pathogenic fungi. One of the genes (DhPKS1) corresponded to the previously cloned D. helianthi lovB gene fragment and clustered with a nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS)-PKS hybrid/lovastatin nonaketide like A. nidulans LovB. We used DhPKS1 as a case study and carried out its disruption through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in the isolate 7/96. D. helianthi DhPKS1 deleted mutants were less virulent to sunflower compared to the wild type, indicating a role for this gene in the pathogenesis of the fungus.

The complete genome sequence of Pantoea ananatis AJ13355, an organism with great biotechnological potential2011 •
Among a French collection of 150 Diaporthe helianthi / Phomopsis helianthi Munt.-Cvet. isolates collected on sunflower since 1995, 4 were chosen for their different characteristics according to their geographic origin and the part of the infected plant where they were sampled (leaf, petiole, capitulum). Phenotypic and molecular characterisation studies were conducted on these isolates. Phenotypic studies corresponded to their linear and ponderal growths, their morphology in culture on agar medium and their aggressiveness on sunflower leaf and stem through artificial contaminations in the field. Molecular characterisation concerned on one hand the whole genome (AFLP) and on the other hand the ITS sequences. The 4 isolates present phenotypic differences in their growth in vitro, their morphology (ability to differentiate perithecia) and their aggressiveness on sunflower. Similar variability was also observed in AFLP analyses of the D./P. helianthi genome. This fungus appears to have a...

The hybrids from 2 factorial crosses involving a total of 7 female lines and 11 restorers, representing the known range of reaction of sunflower to Phomopsis stem canker and most of the resistance sources used in breeding programmes, were studied in multilocational semi-natural attack trials and by artificial infections on leaves and stems in 1996, 1997 and 1998.

Phomopsis Stem Canker: A Reemerging Threat to Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) in the United States2015 •
Phomopsis stem canker causes yield reductions on sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) on several continents, including Australia, Europe, and North America. In the United States, Phomopsis stem canker incidence has increased 16-fold in the Northern Great Plains between 2001 and 2012. Although Diaporthe helianthi was assumed to be the sole causal agent in the United States, a newly described species, D. gulyae, was found to be the primary cause of Phomopsis stem canker in Australia. To determine the identity of Diaporthe spp. causing Phomopsis stem canker in the Northern Great Plains, 275 infected stems were collected between 2010 and 2012. Phylogenetic analyses of sequences of the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer region, elongation factor subunit 1-α, and actin gene regions of representative isolates, in comparison with those of type specimens, confirmed two species (D. helianthi and D. gulyae) in the United States. Differences in aggressiveness between the two species were det...
