Multi-copy alpha-amylase genes are crucial for Ditylenchus destructor to parasitize the plant host

Abstract: Ditylenchus destructor is a migratory plant-parasitic nematode that causes huge damage to global root and tuber production annually. The main plant hosts of D . destructor contain plenty of starch, which makes the parasitic environment of D . destructor to be different from those of most other plant-parasitic nematodes. It is speculated that D . destructor may har… Show more

“…Further mining of the M. javanica genome should be performed using the effectR package, designed to predict effector proteins, including other RxLR effector proteins. Use of this approach by Tabima and Grünwald 48 resulted in the discovery of several genes in the M. javanica genome, e.g., SOD and α-amylase, whose secretion and function have been studied during parasitism by other PPNs 90 , 91 . Similarly, other cell wall-associated proteins, such as GH which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the glycosidic linkage of glycosides 57 , the 5-L-arabinanase 1 gene that is required for polysaccharide degradation 56 and a laminin-like protein that interacts with receptors anchored in the plasma membrane of cells adjacent to basement membranes 92 , have all been shown to carry degenerate RxLR-like motifs.…”

“…The inoculation, cultivation and extraction of D. destructor Dd01 strain, as well as screening eggs out from the extracted mixed-stage nematodes, were performed as previously described 10 . One-cell stage eggs were collected from the screened eggs by observation under an IX71 inverted microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).…”

“…First-strand complementary DNA (cDNA) was synthesized individually using the PrimeScript™ RT reagent Kit with gDNA Eraser (Cat# RR047Q, Takara, Dalian, China). The alpha-tubulin ( tba-1 ) and actin ( act-1 ) genes from D. destructor were used as internal reference genes 10 . The primers are listed in Table 1 .…”

“…Strain NBEC-018 was isolated from a sample of rotten potatoes ( Solanum tuberosum ) collected in a farm field in Wuhan, China (30.62N, 114.13E). The collected potatoes were infected with potato rot nematodes ( Ditylenchus destructor ), an important plant-parasitic nematode ( 4 ). After the nematode-infected wounds on the potatoes were washed with sterile water, a bacterial suspension was obtained.…”
