“…hordei ( Hansjakob et al, 2011 ). Interestingly, many fungi, such as Botrytis ( Castillo et al, 2017 ), Phytophthora ( Blackman et al, 2014 ), and M. oryzaea ( Quoc and Chau, 2017 ) also secrete cell wall-degrading enzymes (CAZymes) even before they penetrate the cuticle, which is further evidence that the cuticle/cell wall continuum is a significant factor in plant-pathogen interactions.…”

Multifunctional Roles of Plant Cuticle During Plant-Pathogen Interactions

In land plants the cuticle is the outermost layer interacting with the environment. This lipophilic layer comprises the polyester cutin embedded in cuticular wax; and it forms a physical barrier to protect plants from desiccation as well as from diverse biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the cuticle is not merely a passive, mechanical shield. The increasing research on plant leaves has addressed the active roles of the plant cuticle in both local and systemic resistance against a variety of plant pathogens. Moreover, the fruit cuticle also serves as an important determinant of fruit defense and quality. It shares features with those of vegetative organs, but also exhibits specific characteristics, the functions of which gain increasing attention in recent years. This review describes multiple roles of plant cuticle during plant-pathogen interactions and its responses to both leaf and fruit pathogens. These include the dynamic changes of plant cuticle during pathogen infection; the crosstalk of cuticle with plant cell wall and diverse hormone signaling pathways for plant disease resistance; and the major biochemical, molecular, and cellular mechanisms that underlie the roles of cuticle during plant-pathogen interactions. Although research developments in the field have greatly advanced our understanding of the roles of plant cuticle in plant defense, there still remain large gaps in our knowledge. Therefore, the challenges thus presented, and future directions of research also are discussed in this review.

“…Recent genomic and proteomic studies of various plant cell wall-degrading fungi were centrally focused on lignocellulolytic CAZymes their occurrence and expression (Castillo et al 2017;Geiser et al 2016;Vidal-Melgosa et al 2015;Zhang et al 2016;Zhao et al 2013). Knowing about the lignocellulolytic abilities of a microorganism prior to its experimentation will significantly benefit both the laboratory and industrial-based projects.…”

“…Similarly, we have also compared the genome-wide annotations of anaerobic fungi belonging to Neocallimastigomycota division to understand their plant cell walldegrading and biohydrogen-producing abilities. Studies focused on understanding the plant cell wall-degrading abilities of individual fungal strains were reported in the last decade (Castillo et al 2017;Geiser et al 2016;Henske et al 2017;Hüttner et al 2017;Looi et al 2017;Qin et al 2017;Vidal-Melgosa et al 2015;Zhang et al 2016).…”

Carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) are industrially important enzymes, which are involved in synthesis and breakdown of carbohydrates. CAZymes secreted by microorganisms especially fungi are widely used in industries. However, identifying an ideal fungal candidate is costly and time-consuming process. In this regard, we have developed a webdatabase "CAZymes Based Ranking of Fungi (CBRF)", for sorting and selecting an ideal fungal candidate based on their genome-wide distribution of CAZymes. We have retrieved the complete annotated proteomic data of 443 published fungal genomes from JGI-MycoCosm web-repository, for the CBRF web-database construction. CBRF web-database was developed using open source computing programing languages such as MySQL, HTML, CSS, bootstrap, jQuery, JavaScript and Ajax frameworks. CBRF web-database sorts complete annotated list of fungi based on three selection functionalities: (a) to sort either by ascending (or) descending orders; (b) to sort the fungi based on a selected CAZy group and class; (c) to sort fungi based on their individual lignocellulolytic abilities. We have also developed a simple and basic webpage "S-CAZymes" using HTML, CSS and Java script languages. The global search functionality of S-CAZymes enables the users to understand and retrieve information about a specific carbohydrate-active enzyme and its current classification in the corresponding CAZy family. The S-CAZymes is a supporting web page which can be used in complementary with the CBRF web-database (knowing the classification of specific CAZyme in S-CAZyme and use this information further to sort fungi using CBRF web-database). The CBRF web-database and S-CAZymes webpage are hosted through Amazon ® Web Services (AWS) available at http://13.58.192.177/RankE nzyme s/about. We strongly believe that CBRF web-database simplifies the process of identifying a suitable fungus both in academics and industries. In future, we intend to update the CBRF web-database with the public release of new annotated fungal genomes.

“…B. cinerea propagation and dispersal are usually by airborne conidia. After the penetration into the host tissue, it is able to counteract a broad range of plant defence chemicals, meanwhile secrete a wide arsenal of chemicals to cause an aggressive necrotrophic rot (Castillo, Plaza, Larrondo, & Canessa, 2017; Veloso & van Kan, 2018).…”

Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of the grey mould disease, developed resistance to multiple fungicides. However, the role of cell membrane in survival competition of B. cinerea upon quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicide has not yet been elucidated. In this paper, the enhancement of cystamine, a transglutaminase inhibitor, on membrane integrity of B. cinerea was determined, and the effect of the enhancement on the sensitivity of B. cinerea to pyraclostrobin was investigated. The results showed that pyraclostrobin inhibited mycelial growth with EC50 as 1.122 and 3.042 μg/ml at 24 and 48 hr, respectively. In the treatment of 5 and 50 μg/ml pyraclostrobin, membrane integrity of B. cinerea was broken, causing high permeability, lipid peroxidation, flocculent and malformed surface with vague septum and abundant agglomerates inside and outside the mycelia. Cystamine even at 50 and 200 μg/ml had little inhibitory effect on mycelial growth. However, in presence of 50 or 200 μg/ml cystamine, the mycelia from pyraclostrobin treatment possessed a significantly reduced leakage, lower MDA content, and a revived fibrous and transparent surface. Meanwhile, SEM images showed that membrane integrity of the mycelia was significantly improved and the agglomerates were dramatically disappeared. Synergy assays further revealed that B. cinerea regained less sensitivity to pyraclostrobin inhibition. In conclusion, membrane integrity controls mycelia sensitivity and is required for survival competition of B. cinerea upon pyraclostrobin.
