| high-level expression of a viscotoxin in arabidopsis thaliana gives enhanced resistance against plasmodiophora brassicae. | viscotoxins are a group of toxic thionins found in several mistletoe species. the constitutive camv-omega promoter was used to drive the expression of the viscotoxin a3 cdna from viscum album in transgenic arabidopsis thaliana c24. lines with high viscotoxin a3 levels in all parts of the plant were selected and tested for resistance against the clubroot pathogen plasmodiophora brassicae. the transgenic lines were more resistant to infection by this pathogen than the parental line. | 1998 | 9526499 |
| indole glucosinolate and auxin biosynthesis in arabidopsis thaliana (l.) heynh. glucosinolate mutants and the development of clubroot disease. | mutants and wild type plants of arabidopsis thaliana were analysed for differences in glucosinolate accumulation patterns, indole-3-acetic acid (iaa) biosynthesis and phenotype. a previously identified series of mutants, termed tu, with altered glucosinolate patterns was used in this study. only the line tu8 was affected in shoot phenotype (shorter stems, altered branching pattern). synthesis of iaa and metabolism were not much affected in the tu8 mutant during seedling development, although the ... | 1999 | 10384731 |
| expression and localization of nitrilase during symptom development of the clubroot disease in arabidopsis. | the expression of nitrilase in arabidopsis during the development of the clubroot disease caused by the obligate biotroph plasmodiophora brassicae was investigated. a time course study showed that only during the exponential growth phase of the clubs was nitrilase prominently enhanced in infected roots compared with controls. nit1 and nit2 are the nitrilase isoforms predominantly expressed in clubroot tissue, as shown by investigating promoter-beta-glucuronidase fusions of each. two peaks of bet ... | 2000 | 10677430 |
| [kohlhernie - neue ansätze zur bekämpfung der gefürchteten kohlerkrankung] | durch pflanzenkrankheiten entstehen weltweit hohe ernteverluste. eine der häufigsten infektionen in der familie der kreuzb&luml;tengewächse wird durch den pilz plasmodiophora brassicae verursacht. die krankheit äußert sich in form von wurzeltumoren, den "kohlherniegallen". da es auf verseuchten böden zu hohen ernteausfällen kommt, besteht ein enormes interesse an der aufklärung der vorgänge, die zu diesem krankheitsbild führen. | 2000 | 10760780 |
| promoter analysis of pyk20, a gene from arabidopsis thaliana. | the gene pyk20 which has been isolated from arabidopsis thaliana encodes a protein with a glutamine-rich domain in the c-terminal region. the transcription of this gene was shown to be induced in feeding sites of root-parasitic nematodes (heterodera schachtii), in roots infected by a fungus-like organism (plasmodiophora brassicae), by plant hormone treatment, and by wounding. in order to identify functional promoter regions seven different 5' and 3' pyk20 promoter (ppyk20) deletion fragments wer ... | 2000 | 10960738 |
| the ssu rdna coding region of a filose amoeba contains a group i intron lacking the universally conserved g at the 3'-terminus. | we sequenced small subunit ribosomal dna (rdna) pcr-fragments of sizes 2.3 kb and 2.9 kb isolated from a culture of the red alga, porphyra spiralis var. spiralis. phylogenetic analysis of the 2.3-kb fragment showed that it encoded the sequence of a contaminant filose amoeba. the nuclearia-like amoeba (named strain n-por) was identified with scanning electron microscopy. its rdna sequence was positioned with strong bootstrap support within a diverse protist assemblage that includes filose amoebae ... | 2000 | 11128712 |
| induction of trehalase in arabidopsis plants infected with the trehalose-producing pathogen plasmodiophora brassicae. | various microorganisms produce the disaccharide trehalose during their symbiotic and pathogenic interactions with plants. trehalose has strong effects on plant metabolism and growth; therefore, we became interested to study its possible role in the interaction of arabidopsis thaliana with plasmodiophora brassicae, the causal agent of clubroot disease. we found that trehalose accumulated strongly in the infected organs (i.e., the roots and hypocotyls) and, to a lesser extent, in the leaves and st ... | 2002 | 12118885 |
| stimulation by caffeic acid, coumalic acid, and corilagin of the germination of resting spores of the clubroot pathogen plasmodiophora brassicae. | some chemicals were examined for their effects on the germination of resting spores of the clubroot pathogen plasmodiophora brassicae, and on the control of clubroots in chinese cabbage. caffeic acid, coumalic acid, and corilagin stimulated the germination of plasmodiophora spores and prevented the formation of clubroots in chinese cabbage. clubroot might be controlled by agents with germination-stimulating effects. | 2003 | 12619690 |
| effects of cyazofamid against plasmodiophora brassicae woronin on chinese cabbage. | cyazofamid (4-chloro-2-cyano-n,n-dimethyl-5-p-tolylimidazole-1-sulfonamide) is a novel fungicide with high levels of activity against oomycetes fungi and plasmodiophora brassicae woronin. the effects of cyazofamid were investigated against p. brassicae, the causal agent of clubroot disease in chinese cabbage. cyazofamid at 0.3 mg litre(-1) inhibited resting spore germination of this pathogen by about 80%. cyazofamid at 3-10 mg litre(-1) exhibited fungicidal activity to resting spores of p. brass ... | 2003 | 12639045 |
| identification of two loci for resistance to clubroot (plasmodiophora brassicae woronin) in brassica rapa l. | in an analysis of 114 f(2) individuals from a cross between clubroot-resistant and susceptible lines of brassica rapa l., 'g004' and 'hakusai chukanbohon nou 7' (a9709), respectively, we identified two loci, crr1 and crr2, for clubroot (caused by plasmodiophora brassicae woronin) resistance. each locus segregated independently among the f(2) population, indicating that the loci reside on a different region of chromosomes or on different chromosomes. genetic analysis showed that each locus had li ... | 2003 | 12955203 |

| scar and caps mapping of crb, a gene conferring resistance to plasmodiophora brassicae in chinese cabbage ( brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis). | clubroot disease, caused by plasmodiophora brassicae wor., is highly damaging for chinese cabbage. the cr (clubroot resistant) shinki dh (doubled haploid) line of chinese cabbage carries a single dominant gene, crb, which confers resistance to the p. brassicae races 2, 4, and 8. an f(2) population derived from a cross between the cr shinki dh line and a susceptible line, 94sk, was used to map the crb gene. inoculation of f(3) families with ssi (single-spore isolate) resulted in a 1:2:1 segregati ... | 2004 | 14997298 |
| isolate-specific and broad-spectrum qtls are involved in the control of clubroot in brassica oleracea. | clubroot, caused by plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most damaging diseases of vegetable brassica crops in the world. in this study, genetic control and mapping of loci implied in quantitative resistance against five isolates of p. brassicae were studied in the f(1) and f(2/3 )progenies of the cross c10 (resistant kale)xhdem (susceptible broccoli). a genetic map was constructed using rflp, random and specific pcr-based markers. the 199 loci were assembled into nine linkage groups covering ... | 2004 | 15007504 |
| actin and ubiquitin protein sequences support a cercozoan/foraminiferan ancestry for the plasmodiophorid plant pathogens. | the plasmodiophorids are a group of eukaryotic intracellular parasites that cause disease in a variety of economically significant crops. plasmodiophorids have traditionally been considered fungi but have more recently been suggested to be members of the cercozoa, a morphologically diverse group of amoeboid, flagellate, and amoeboflagellate protists. the recognition that cercozoa constitute a monophyletic lineage has come from phylogenetic analyses of small subunit ribosomal rna genes. protein s ... | 2004 | 15068273 |
| screening and evaluation of resistance to downy mildew (peronospora parasitica) and clubroot (plasmodiophora brassicae) in genetic resources of brassica oleracea. | 52 entries including landraces, old cultivars and wild accessions of b. oleracea and closely related brassica species were screened for resistance against downy mildew and clubroot. several accessions resistant to downy mildew and a few to clubroot were found. genetic inheritance of the resistance in downy mildew was investigated by screening f1 and bc1f1 offspring from three resistant landrace accessions crossed with both a resistant and a susceptible father. the seedling resistance against dow ... | 2004 | 15703046 |
| infection of chinese cabbage by plasmodiophora brassicae leads to a stimulation of plant growth: impacts on cell wall metabolism and hormone balance. | the importance of plant hormones in clubroot infection has long been recognized. the morphological changes, such as cell division and cell elongation leading to gall formation are triggered in the early stages of infection. we analysed cell expansion by localizing xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (xth)-action and screened the endogenous concentrations of several classes of phytohormones by mass spectrometry in the early stages of plasmodiophora brassicae infection in chinese cabbage (br ... | 2005 | 15760367 |
| translocation of sugars into infected cabbage tissues during clubroot development. | sucrose, glucose, and inositol were the major sugars in cabbage hypocotyls infected by plasmodiophora brassicae and in noninfected hypocotyls, based on paper, thin-layer, and gas-liquid chromatography. small amounts of trehalose were tentatively identified in extracts from noninfected hypocotyls, whereas up to 20x this level occurred in extracts from infected hypocotyls. inositol declined in the infected hypocotyls while glucose increased to about 4x the level in noninfected hypocotyls. fructose ... | 1969 | 16657127 |
| transcriptome analysis of arabidopsis clubroots indicate a key role for cytokinins in disease development. | the clubroot disease of the family brassicaceae is caused by the obligate biotrophic protist plasmodiophora brassicae. infected roots undergo a developmental switch that results in the formation of aberrant roots (clubs). to investigate host gene expression during the development of the disease, we have used the arabidopsis ath1 genome array. two timepoints were chosen, an early timepoint at which the pathogen has colonized the root but has induced only very limited change of host cell and root ... | 2006 | 16673935 |
| a family of auxin conjugate hydrolases from brassica rapa: characterization and expression during clubroot disease. | during the obligate biotrophic interaction of plasmodiophora brassicae with members of the brassicaceae, the host roots show hypertrophy and galls are established. an increased auxin pool appears to correlate with cell expansion and cell division, but the origin of the free auxin is not yet clear. as previous results point to increased iaa-hydrolytic activity in infected roots of brassica rapa at later time points of infection, we isolated iaa-amidohydrolase-like genes from various tissues. we c ... | 2006 | 16771990 |
| community structure of actively growing bacterial populations in plant pathogen suppressive soil. | the bacterial community in soil was screened by using various molecular approaches for bacterial populations that were activated upon addition of different supplements. plasmodiophora brassicae spores, chitin, sodium acetate, and cabbage plants were added to activate specific bacterial populations as an aid in screening for novel antagonists to plant pathogens. dna from growing bacteria was specifically extracted from the soil by bromodeoxyuridine immunocapture. the captured dna was fingerprinte ... | 2007 | 16944345 |
| identification of genes from the obligate intracellular plant pathogen, plasmodiophora brassicae. | plasmodiophora brassicae is an intracellular pathogen that infects plants in the brassicaceae family. although an important pathogen group, information on the genomic makeup of the plasmodiophorids is almost completely lacking. we performed suppression subtractive hybridization (ssh) between rna from p. brassicae-infected and uninfected arabidopsis tissue, then screened 232 clones from the resulting ssh library. in addition, we used an oligo-capping procedure to screen 305 full-length cdna clone ... | 2006 | 17064373 |
| high avidity binding of engineered papaya mosaic virus virus-like particles to resting spores of plasmodiophora brassicae. | papaya mosaic virus (papmv) like particles (vlps) were used as a platform for fusion of affinity peptides binding to resting spores of plasmodiophora brassicae-a major pathogen of crucifers. three peptides with specific affinity to the target were isolated and cloned at the c-terminus of the papmv coat protein (cp), generating three different high avidity vlps. the peptides were exposed at the surface of the vlps and their avidity to resting spores of p. brassicae was measured by flow cytometry. ... | 2007 | 17126944 |
| a hormone and proteome approach to picturing the initial metabolic events during plasmodiophora brassicae infection on arabidopsis. | we report on the early response of arabidopsis thaliana to the obligate biotrophic pathogen plasmodiophora brassicae at the hormone and proteome level. using a cycb1;1::gus construct, the re-initiation of infection-related cell division is shown from 4 days after inoculation on. sensitivity to cytokinins and auxins as well as the endogenous hormone levels are evaluated. both an enhanced cytokinin gene response and an accumulation of isopentenyl adenine and adenosine precede this re-initiation of ... | 2006 | 17153927 |
| intron-rich gene structure in the intracellular plant parasite plasmodiophora brassicae. | plasmodiophora brassicae, a pathogen of brassicaceae plants, is grouped within the eukaryotic supergroup, the rhizaria. although a large diversity of protists is found in the rhizaria, genomes of organisms within the group have barely been examined. in this study, we identified dna sequences spanning or flanking 24 p. brassicae genes, eventually sequencing close to 44 kb of genomic dna. evidence from this preliminary genome survey suggested that splicing is an important feature of p. brassicae g ... | 2007 | 17618828 |
| genetic mapping of clubroot resistance genes in oilseed rape. | clubroot caused by the obligate biotrophic protist plasmodiophora brassicae is a major disease of brassica species. clubroot resistances introduced from b. oleracea var. 'böhmerwaldkohl' and resistance from b. rapa ecd-04 were genetically mapped in oilseed rape (b. napus l.). a doubled haploid (dh) population of rape seed was developed by crossing a resistant dh-line derived from a resynthesized b. napus with the susceptible cultivar 'express'. the dh population was tested in the greenhouse agai ... | 2008 | 18040658 |
| microorganisms against plasmodiophora brassicae. | in order to find microorganisms showing antifungal activities against plasmodiophora brassicae, which causes club root, korean salt-fermented fishery products were tested. several fermented broths of microorgansims isolated from ammodytes personatus fishery products showed high antifungal activities. the identification of microorganisms and their in vivo antifungal activities are reported herein. | 2007 | 18051313 |

| increase in brao1 gene expression and aldehyde oxidase activity during clubroot development in chinese cabbage (brassica rapa l.). | summary in clubroot disease, gall formation is induced by infection with the obligate biotroph plasmodiophora brassicae due to increased levels of auxins and cytokinins. because aldehyde oxidase (ao) may be involved in auxin biosynthesis in plants, we isolated two ao genes (brao1 and brao2) from chinese cabbage (brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis cv. muso), which are the most similar to aao1 among arabidopsis ao genes, and examined their expressions during clubroot development. the expression of brao ... | 2006 | 20507442 |
| molecular cloning of brassica rapa nitrilases and their expression during clubroot development. | summary three isoforms of nitrilase were cloned from turnip, brassica rapa l., and their expression during clubroot development caused by plasmodiophora brassicae was investigated. the isoforms were designated brnit-t1, brnit-t2 and brnit-t4 based on homology to known nitrilases. brnit-t1 and brnit-t2 have 80% homology to three nitrilases from arabidopsis thaliana (atnit1, atnit2 and atnit3). brnit-t4 showed 90% homology to atnit4. to confirm their enzyme activity, the recombinant proteins were ... | 2007 | 20507526 |
| molecular characterization of a serine protease pro1 from plasmodiophora brassicae that stimulates resting spore germination. | clubroot, caused by plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most serious diseases of cultivated cruciferous crops in the world. however, the basis for pathogenicity in p. brassicae is not well understood. in this study, a serine protease gene (pro1) was cloned from p. brassicae and its molecular characteristics were investigated. southern analysis and specific polymerase chain reaction (pcr) amplification indicated that pro1 is a single-copy gene present in a broad range of p. brassicae pathotyp ... | 2010 | 20618708 |
| flavonoid accumulation in arabidopsis thaliana root galls caused by the obligate biotrophic pathogen plasmodiophora brassicae. | three different flavonoids-naringenin, quercetin and kaempferol-accumulate in root galls of arabidopsis thaliana after infection with the obligate biotrophic pathogen plasmodiophora brassicae. in addition, high-performance liquid chromatography and thin layer chromatography analysis indicated that these flavonoids and their glycosides were induced in galls rather than in healthy roots. the transcripts of selected genes involved in the biosynthesis of flavonoids were up-regulated during the time ... | 2010 | 20618711 |
| evolution of rhizaria: new insights from phylogenomic analysis of uncultivated protists. | recent phylogenomic analyses have revolutionized our view of eukaryote evolution by revealing unexpected relationships between and within the eukaryotic supergroups. however, for several groups of uncultivable protists, only the ribosomal rna genes and a handful of proteins are available, often leading to unresolved evolutionary relationships. a striking example concerns the supergroup rhizaria, which comprises several groups of uncultivable free-living protists such as radiolarians, foraminifer ... | 2010 | 21126361 |
| genomics of biotrophic, plant-infecting plasmodiophorids using in vitro dual cultures. | the plasmodiophorids are a phylogenetically distinct group of parasitic protists that infect plants and stramenopiles, causing several important agricultural diseases. because of the obligate intracellular part of their lifecycle, none of the plasmodiophorids has been axenically cultured. further, the molecular biology of the plasmodiophorids is poorly understood because pure cultures are not available from any species. we report on an in-vitro dual culture system of the plasmodiophorids plasmod ... | 2010 | 21183405 |
| extracellular invertase is involved in the regulation of clubroot disease in arabidopsis thaliana. | clubroot disease of brassicaceae is caused by an obligate biotrophic protist, plasmodiophora brassicae. during root gall development, a strong sink for assimilates is developed. among other genes involved in sucrose and starch synthesis and degradation, the increased expression of invertases has been observed in a microarray experiment, and invertase and invertase inhibitor expression was confirmed using promoter::gus lines of arabidopsis thaliana. a functional approach demonstrates that inverta ... | 2010 | 21355997 |
| complete sructure of nuclear rdna of the obligate plant parasite plasmodiophora brassicae: intraspecific polymorphisms in the exon and group i intron of the large subunit rdna. | plasmodiophora brassicae is a soil-borne obligate intracellular parasite in the phylum cercozoa of the rhizaria that causes clubroot disease of crucifer crops. to control the disease, understanding the distribution and infection routes of the pathogen is essential, and thus development of reliable molecular markers to discriminate geographic populations is required. in this study, the nuclear ribosomal rna gene (rdna) repeat unit of p. brassicae was determined, with particular emphasis on the st ... | 2011 | 21497131 |
| identification of expressed genes during infection of chinese cabbage (brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis) by plasmodiophora brassicae. | abstract. plasmodiophora brassicae is an obligate, biotrophic pathogen causing the club-root disease of crucifers. despite its importance as a plant pathogen, little is known about p. brassicae at the molecular level as most of its life cycle takes place inside the plant host, and axenic culturing is impossible. discovery of genes expressed during infection and gene organization are the first steps toward a better understanding of the pathogen-host interaction. here, suppression subtractive hybr ... | 2011 | 21518080 |
| arabidopsis thaliana, a new tool to investigate polymyxa betae-host interactions. | little is known about the genome of polymyxa betae and its interactions with sugar beet, due partly to the obligate nature of the protist and the patents on beta vulgaris sequences. the identification of an ecotype of arabidopsis thaliana compatible with the protist would help to improve this knowledge. the infection and development of p. betae in 14 worldwide ecotypes of a. thaliana were studied. the detection of plasmodia and resting spores and the production of zoospores in the roots of a. th ... | 2010 | 21542467 |
| indicator organisms for assessing sanitization during composting of plant wastes. | the potential for using plant pathogens and seeds as indicator organisms for assessing sanitization of plant wastes during composting was tested in bench-scale flask and large-scale systems. plasmodiophora brassicae was unsuitable due to high temperature tolerance in dry to moist composts, and detection of viable inoculum post-composting using bioassay plants not corresponding with that using taqman® pcr, possibly due to preservation of nucleic acids at elevated temperatures. several other plant ... | 2011 | 21546235 |
| genetic and physiological analysis of the relationship between partial resistance to clubroot and tolerance to trehalose in arabidopsis thaliana. | • in arabidopsis thaliana the induction of plant trehalase during clubroot disease was proposed to act as a defense mechanism in the susceptible accession col-0, which could thereby cope with the accumulation of pathogen-synthesized trehalose. in the present study, we assessed trehalose activity and tolerance to trehalose in the clubroot partially resistant accession bur-0. • we compared both accessions for several trehalose-related physiological traits during clubroot infection. a quantitative ... | 2011 | 21599669 |
