Comparative proteomics of sugarcane smut fungus - Sporisorium scitamineum unravels dynamic proteomic alterations during the dimorphic transition.

Life cycle of the dimorphic sugarcane smut fungi, Sporisorium scitamineum, involves recognition and mating of compatible saprophytic yeast-like haploid sporidia (MAT-1 and MAT-2) that upon fusion, develop into infective dikaryotic mycelia. Although the dimorphic transition is intrinsically linked with the pathogenicity and virulence of S. scitamineum, it has never been studied using a proteomic approach.

Spectral energy balancing system with massive MIMO based hybrid beam forming for wireless 6G communication using dual deep learning model.

This work aims to provide an effective hybrid beam forming method with Dual-Deep-Network to overcome overhead for mm-wave massive MIMO systems. In this paper, a Dual-Deep-Network technique is described for the extraction of statistical structures from a hybrid beam forming model based on mmWave logics, as well as training logic for the network map functions. The proposed approach of DDN is trained with proper data sequences used for communication and the training phase is conducted with the norms of numerous channel variants.

Transcriptome analysis of sugarcane reveals differential switching of major defense signaling pathways in response to isolates with varying virulent attributes.

Sugarcane smut caused by the basidiomycetous fungus is one of the most devastating diseases that affect sugarcane production, globally. At present, the most practical and effective management strategy for the disease is the cultivation of resistant cultivars. In this connection, a detailed understanding of the host's defense mechanism in response to smut isolates with varying degrees of virulence at the molecular level would facilitate the development of reliable and durable smut-resistant sugarcane varieties.

Differential host responses of sugarcane to Colletotrichum falcatum reveal activation of probable effector triggered immunity (ETI) in defence responses.

The differential compatibility responses of sugarcane to Colletotrichum falcatum pathotypes depend on the nature of both host primary defence signalling cascades and pathogen virulence. The complex polyploidy of sugarcane genome and genetic variations in different cultivars of sugarcane remain a challenge to identify and characterise specific genes controlling the compatible and incompatible interactions between sugarcane and the red rot pathogen, Colletotrichum falcatum. To avoid host background variation in the interaction study, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH)-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology was used in a sugarcane cultivar Co 7805 which is compatible with one C.

A highly efficient stratagem for protoplast isolation and genetic transformation in filamentous fungus Colletotrichum falcatum.

Red rot of sugarcane caused by the hemi-biotrophic fungal pathogen, Colletotrichum falcatum, is a major threat to sugarcane cultivation in many tropical countries such as India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. With the accumulating information on pathogenicity determinants, namely, effectors and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) of C. falcatum, it is of paramount importance to decipher the functional role of these molecular players that may ultimately decide upon the outcome of sugarcane-C.

Comparative expression analysis of potential pathogenicity-associated genes of high- and low-virulent isolates during interaction with sugarcane.

Unlabelled: is a teleomorphic, biotrophic fungus causing the globally prevalent sugarcane smut disease in sugarcane. The severity of the disease depends on two major factors, viz. degree of resistance in the host genotype and virulence level of the pathogen.

Selection of reference genes for normalization of microRNA expression in sugarcane stalks during its interaction with .

The microRNAs role in various cellular and metabolic functions is gaining more limelight in line with second-generation NGS technology. For the validation of candidate miRNA genes, the quantitative real-time PCR is the widely trusted and efficient method to follow. Sugarcane miRNAs are less explored in sugarcane defense response during their interaction with inciting red rot.

Development and characterization of genomic SSR marker for virulent strain-specific infecting sugarcane.

an intriguing pathogen causing red rot in sugarcane, exhibits enormous variation for pathogenicity under field conditions. A species-specific marker is very much needed to classify the virulence among the varying population and to identify the potential of a pathotype by mining the microsatellites, which are considered to be the largest genetic source to develop molecular markers for an organism. In this study, we have mined the genome using MISA database which yielded 12,121 SSRs from 48.

CfPDIP1, a novel secreted protein of Colletotrichum falcatum, elicits defense responses in sugarcane and triggers hypersensitive response in tobacco.

Colletotrichum falcatum, a hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen, causes one of the major devastating diseases of sugarcane-red rot. C. falcatum secretes a plethora of molecular signatures that might play a crucial role during its interaction with sugarcane.

Comparative secretome analysis of Colletotrichum falcatum identifies a cerato-platanin protein (EPL1) as a potential pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) inducing systemic resistance in sugarcane.

Unlabelled: Colletotrichum falcatum, an intriguing hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen causes red rot, a devastating disease of sugarcane. Repeated in vitro subculturing of C. falcatum under dark condition alters morphology and reduces virulence of the culture.

Proteomic analysis of a compatible interaction between sugarcane and Sporisorium scitamineum.

Smut caused by Sporisorium scitamineum is one of the important diseases of sugarcane with global significance. Despite the intriguing nature of sugarcane, S. scitamineum interaction, several pertinent aspects remain unexplored.

Differential regulation of defense-related gene expression in response to red rot pathogen Colletotrichum falcatum infection in sugarcane.

Red rot is a serious disease of sugarcane caused by the fungus Colletotrichum falcatum imposing a considerable economic loss annually in all sugarcane-producing countries. In this study, we analyzed the early resistance response of sugarcane to red rot fungus by comparing the differences between control and inoculated stalk tissues. Differential display reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (DD-RT-PCR) was employed to identify altered expression of genes in disease-resistant cv Co 93009, in response to pathogen infection.
