“…Deletion of pldB resulted in reduced colony growth and increased aerial hyphae, phenotypes similar to those observed in F. graminearum Δ pld1 strains (Ding et al, ). Microscopic analysis of the Δ pldB strains in culture showed that hyphae were often variable in diameter, abnormally shaped, frequently swollen and had an uncommonly high degree of vacuolation.…”

“…IHH were also occasionally detected. In contrast, growth of Δ pldA , pldA OE and pldB OE were indistinguishable from WT as found for mutants of the pldA homologs in A. nidulans ( AnpldA ) and F. graminearum ( Fgpld2 ) (Ding et al, ; Hong, Horiuchi, & Ohta, ). These observations highlight the importance of PldB, but not PldA, for normal polarized growth.…”

“…Membrane‐bound conversion of PC to PA has an important role for morphogenesis, growth and development in animals, plants and yeast, but very little is known about the importance of this process in filamentous fungi (Ding et al, ; Li et al, ; Selvy et al, ). Here we show that phospholipase D (PLD)‐dependent synthesis of PA is required for cell fusion in both E. festucae and N. crassa , highlighting the importance of lipid signaling for the fusion process.…”

Although lipid signaling has been shown to serve crucial roles in mammals and plants, little is known about this process in filamentous fungi. Here we analyze the contribution of phospholipase D (PLD) and its product phosphatidic acid (PA) in hyphal morphogenesis and growth of Epichloë festucae and Neurospora crassa, and in the establishment of a symbiotic interaction between E. festucae and Lolium perenne. Growth of E. festucae and N. crassa PLD deletion strains in axenic culture, and for E. festucae in association with L. perenne, were analyzed by light‐, confocal‐ and electron microscopy. Changes in PA distribution were analyzed in E. festucae using a PA biosensor and the impact of these changes on the endocytic recycling and superoxide production investigated. We found that E. festucae PldB, and the N. crassa ortholog, PLA‐7, are required for polarized growth and cell fusion and contribute to ascospore development, whereas PldA/PLA‐8 are dispensable for these functions. Exogenous addition of PA rescues the cell‐fusion phenotype in E. festucae. PldB is also crucial for E. festucae to establish a symbiotic association with L. perenne. This study identifies a new component of the cell‐cell communication and cell fusion signaling network for hyphal morphogenesis and growth of filamentous fungi.

ITRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of Fusarium moniliforme (Fusarium verticillioides) in response to Phloridzin inducers

Background Apple replant disease (ARD) has been reported from all major fruit-growing regions of the world, and is often caused by biotic factors (pathogen fungi) and abiotic factors (phenolic compounds). In order to clarify the proteomic differences of Fusarium moniliforme under the action of phloridzin, and to explore the potential mechanism of F. moniliforme as the pathogen of ARD, the role of Fusarium spp. in ARD was further clarified. Methods In this paper, the quantitative proteomics method iTRAQ analysis technology was used to analyze the proteomic differences of F. moniliforme before and after phloridzin treatment. The differentially expressed protein was validated by qRT-PCR analysis. Results A total of 4535 proteins were detected, and 293 proteins were found with more than 1.2 times (P< 0.05) differences. In-depth data analysis revealed that 59 proteins were found with more than 1.5 times (P< 0.05) differences, and most proteins were consistent with the result of qRT-PCR. Differentially expressed proteins were influenced a variety of cellular processes, particularly metabolic processes. Among these metabolic pathways, a total of 8 significantly enriched KEGG pathways were identified with at least 2 affiliated proteins with different abundance in conidia and mycelium. Functional pathway analysis indicated that up-regulated proteins were mainly distributed in amino sugar, nucleotide sugar metabolism, glycolysis/ gluconeogenesis and phagosome pathways. Conclusions This study is the first to perform quantitative proteomic investigation by iTRAQ labeling and LC-MS/MS to identify differentially expressed proteins in F. moniliforme under phloridzin conditions. The results confirmed that F. moniliforme presented a unique protein profile that indicated the adaptive mechanisms of this species to phloridzin environments. The results deepened our understanding of the proteome in F. moniliforme in response to phloridzin inducers and provide a basis for further exploration for improving the efficiency of the fungi as biocontrol agents to control ARD.

“…Due to the advantages of high sensitivity, rapidity, specificity, and accuracy ( Bustin et al 2005 , Valasek et al 2005 , Vanguilder et al 2008 , Shakeel et al 2018 ), quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) has been widely used in the study of animals, plants, and microorganisms ( Roy et al 2007 , Jia et al 2014 , Zhang et al 2014 , Ding et al 2017 , Sun et al 2019 ). qRT-PCR is the most commonly used method for the expression analysis of target genes.…”

Chrysoperla nipponensis (Okamoto), which has the unique diapause phenotype distinguishable from nondiapause adult, is an ideal model organism for studying the mechanism of reproductive diapause. However, there is no reliable and effective reference genes used for the reproductive diapause study of C. nipponensis. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the expression stability of 10 candidate reference genes (Tub1, Arpc5, EF1a, 128up, RpS5, RpS26e, GAPDH, Arp3, Actin, α-Tub) in adults under diapause and nondiapause induction conditions using four statistical algorithms including GeNorm, NormFinder, Bestkeeper, and ∆CT method. Results showed that Arp3 and Tub1 were the most stable reference genes in all samples and in the adult tissues group. Arp3 and RpS5 were the most stable reference genes in the development degree group. α-Tub and EF1a were unstable reference genes under the conditions of this study. Meanwhile, to verify the reliability of the reference genes, we evaluated the relative expression levels of Vg and VgR in different treatments. Significant upregulation and downregulation in expression level of two genes in response to diapause termination and diapause fat body tissue was, respectively, observed when using Arp3 as the reference gene but not when using an unstable reference gene. The reference genes identified in this work provided not only the basis for future functional genomics research in diapause of C. nipponensis and will also identify reliable normalization factors for real-time quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction data for other related insects.
