Article Abstract
Background: Fusarium verticillioides is among the most devastating fungal pathogen of cereals. Therefore, it is crucial to employ effective and long-term strategies for managing F. verticillioides for sustainable agriculture. RNA interference (RNAi) being a natural defense mechanism of plants via regulation of gene expression, has emerged as a promising tool for eradicating pathogens. RNAi also operates between the host and pathogen through RNA exchange. RNAi interacts with competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) including long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and mRNA. Due to the lack of an elaborate model to investigate all these mechanisms, this study aimed to establish a Nicotiana benthamiana (Nb)-F. verticillioides (Fv) phyto-pathosystem as an experimental model.
Methods And Results: Nb seedlings were inoculated with Fv, and the pathogenicity was monitored morphologically, microscopically, biochemically, and transcriptionally. To observe the role of RNAi and RNA-exchange in pathogenicity, Nb-miR172 and Nb-miR399 targeting Nb-lncRNA-IPS (Induced by Phosphate Starvation1) and Nb-AP2 (Apetala2) and Nb-PHO2 (phosphate over-accumulator) ceRNA network and Fv-V-ATPase (Vesicle-fusing ATPase) targeted by Nb-miR172 were investigated. As a result, epidermal cell density, leaf area, petiole length, and chlorophyll content were reduced while the density of stomata and trichome and phenolic content and the activity of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) were increased in response to Fv infection in Nb. The expression of AP2 and PHO2 were downregulated against Fv but no significant changes were detected in IPS, miR172, and miR399 expression.
Conclusion: These findings suggested the Fv-Nb phyto-pathosystem as a useful experimental model to reveal genetic regulations.

Fruit is an essential part of the human diet, and postharvest fungal diseases are the major cause of fruit postharvest losses worldwide. Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are important elicitors from microbes, and the recognition between microbial PAMPs and plant receptors leads to PAMP-triggered immunity. Here, we identified a PAMP, PdEIX, that is an important protein elicitor with plant immunity-inducing activity, from the citrus green mold pathogen .

Viroids are single-stranded circular noncoding RNAs that mainly infect crops. Upon infection, nuclear-replicating viroids engage host DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II for RNA-templated transcription, which is facilitated by a host protein TFIIIA-7ZF. The sense-strand and minus-strand RNA intermediates are differentially localised to the nucleolus and nucleoplasm regions, respectively.

Traditional deep fluorescence imaging has primarily focused on red-shifting imaging wavelengths into the near-infrared (NIR) windows or implementation of multi-photon excitation approaches. Here, we combine the advantages of NIR and multiphoton imaging by developing a dual-infrared two-photon microscope to enable high-resolution deep imaging in biological tissues. We first computationally identify that photon absorption, as opposed to scattering, is the primary contributor to signal attenuation.

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) represents a particularly relevant tool in agricultural species for studying gene functionality. This study presents a novel approach for utilizing viruses belonging to the 30K family of movement proteins (MPs) as VIGS vectors. The method described here employs smaller inserts (54 bp or less) than those commonly used (100-500 bp).

Positive-strand (+)RNA viruses are major pathogens of humans, animals and plants. This review summarizes the complex interplay between the host autophagy pathway and Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) replication. Recent discoveries with TBSV have revealed virus-driven exploitation of autophagy in multiple ways that contributes to the unique phospholipid composition of viral replication organellar (VROs) membranes.
