Not in your usual Top 10: protists that infect plants and algae
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fungi, nematodes and oomycetes belong to the most prominent eukaryotic plant pathogenic organisms. Unicellular organisms from other eukaryotic lineages, commonly addressed as protists, also infect plants. This review provides an introduction to plant pathogenic protists, including algae infecting oomycetes, and their current state of research.

Chloroviruses: not your everyday plant virus.
Viruses infecting higher plants are among the smallest viruses known and typically have four to ten protein-encoding genes. By contrast, many viruses that infect algae (classified in the virus family Phycodnaviridae) are among the largest viruses found to date and have up to 600 protein-encoding genes. This brief review focuses on one group of plaque-forming phycodnaviruses that infect unicellu...
متن کاملViral communities associated with healthy and bleaching corals
The coral holobiont is the integrated assemblage of the coral animal, its symbiotic algae, protists, fungi and a diverse consortium of Bacteria and Archaea. Corals are a model system for the study of symbiosis, the breakdown of which can result in disease and mortality. Little is known, however, about viruses that infect corals and their symbionts. Here we present metagenomic analyses of the vi...
متن کاملProtist homologs of the meiotic Spo11 gene and topoisomerase VI reveal an evolutionary history of gene duplication and lineage-specific loss.
Spo11 is a meiotic protein of fundamental importance as it is a conserved meiosis-specific transesterase required for meiotic recombination initiation in fungi, animals, and plants. Spo11 is homologous to the archaebacterial topoisomerase VIA (Top6A) gene, and its homologs are broadly distributed among eukaryotes, with some eukaryotes having more than one homolog. However, the evolutionary rela...
متن کاملبررسی عکس العمل گیاه Parl. Aeluropus littoralis به قارچ‌های مهم بیماریزای برنج در استان مازندران
Aeluropus littoralis belong to poaceae family. It often grows in salty soils. In this study reaction of A. littoralis to rice pathogens (Pyricularia grisea, Rhizoctonia solani and Bipolaris oryzae) was investigated at greenhouse and field conditions under artificial inoculation. These three mentioned fungi were isolated from rice plants and then propagated and separately inoculated on Aeluropus...
متن کاملPlant vegetative and animal cytoplasmic actins share functional competence for spatial development with protists.
Actin is an essential multifunctional protein encoded by two distinct ancient classes of genes in animals (cytoplasmic and muscle) and plants (vegetative and reproductive). The prevailing view is that each class of actin variants is functionally distinct. However, we propose that the vegetative plant and cytoplasmic animal variants have conserved functional competence for spatial development in...
