Full textAlternaria brassicicola causes blackspot disease of crucifers worldwide. This disease is seed-borne and responsible for important yield losses. Field isolates of A. Brassicicola highly resistant to dicarboximide and phenylpyrroles fungicides have been identified. These isolates are still pathogenic to host plants and most of them are more sensitive to osmotic stress than wild type strains. To elucidate the molecular basis of the osmosensitive and dicarboximide/phenylpyrrole-resistant phenotypes, an osmosensing histidine kinase gene AbNIK1 was isolated from a fungicide-sensitive isolate and its sequence compared with corresponding sequences from fungicide-resistant isolates. All the fungicide-resistant strains displaying a osmosensitive phenotype were found to have null mutations in the AbNIK1 gene. To investigate the effects of AbNIK1 null mutations on their fitness, these strains were inoculated on radish under field conditions. Quality controls of produced seeds revealed that null mutants are strongly affected in their competitivity towards wild type strains in the absence of selective pressure. In parallel, the genetic diversity within the species A. Brassicicola was estimated. Twelve polymorphic microsatellite loci were identified and used to analyze a population of strains with various geographic origins. In agreement with the lifestyle of this fungus (absence of sexual reproduction and seed transmission) a relatively weak polymorphism (3. 5 alleles per locus) and an absence of population structuration were observed

Full textTraditional varieties are heterogeneous and constitute a source of diversity, which contributes to the productivity and the stability of agroecosystems. Indeed, plant diversity provides services to a given ecosystem, including reducing disease pressure. Understanding the mechanisms underlying plant-pathogen interactions is fundamental to improve disease management. With this in mind, I studied the adaptation between traditional Tunisian durum wheat varieties and populations of Zymoseptoria tritici, the fungus responsible for Septoria Tritici Blotch (STB). Firstly, genotyping 14 traditional varieties, considered as populations, using 9 SSR, showed that genetic diversity is equally important within a population (45%) as it is between populations (54%). This diversity is structured in seven genetic groups that can be explained in part by the nested effect of the « variety name » and the « location ». 15 phenotypic traits, including resistance to STB, were characterized and showed that the populations were also phenotypically diverse. Resistance to STB is qualitative (major resistance) for two of the populations, but generally more quantitative for the other populations. A Pst-Fst comparison demonstrated a local adaptation of traditional varieties, underlining selection trajectories that are closely linked to the territory and the agricultural practices in place. Meanwhile, a high density SNP genotyping (TaBW35K array) of a panel of 127 individuals hailing from four populations all carrying the same variety name ‘Mahmoudi’ brought to light two genetic groups shared by the four populations. This panel of individuals was phenotyped for resistance to a Tunisian Z. tritici strain in a field trial and in controlled conditions. The resulting data was used in a GWAS analysis. This analysis led to the detection of 6 loci associated to STB resistance on chromosomes 1B, 4A, 5B and 7A, including a locus on chromosome 1B associated to a qualitative major resistance. The frequency of the resistant alleles oscillates between 6 and 46% and is variable between populations. On the fungus side, four populations of Z. tritici collected on modern cultivar ‘Karim’ widely cultivated in Tunisia and one population collected on traditional variety ‘Mahmoudi’ were genotyped using 12 SSR. A low level of genetic differentiation was identified between these fungal populations suggesting a significant gene flow between locations. The population collected on ‘Mahmoudi’ was less diversified and had a higher clonal fraction than the populations collected on ‘Karim’. This points towards host-effect on Z. tritici diversity. Cross-inoculation tests highlighted a higher aggressiveness of isolates collected on ‘Mahmoudi’ to ‘Mahmoudi’ lines than that of isolates collected on ‘Karim’, interpreted as a local adaptation of pathogen populations to their sympatric host. This adaptation was especially pronounced for the latency period of isolates, once again underlining the importance of quantitative resistance in the adaptive processes evidenced here. Traditional Tunisian durum wheat varieties are practical cases of heterogeneous host populations effectively limiting STB epidemics. Our results suggest that a combination of resistance genes, mainly quantitative and occasionally with a major effect, with variable frequencies from one variety to another, is key to the sanitary success of these varieties. Findings from this study can be utilized to improve our management of crop diversity in other environments

Full textAn emergent disease of alder is caused by a complex of three taxa belonging to the genus Phytophthora (Oomycetes): P. Alni subsp. Alni (Paa), P. Alni subsp. Multiformis (Pam) and P. Alni subsp. Uniformis (Pau). The first part of this study focused on the development of specific detection tools for these three taxa. Based on SCARs generated with RAPD, we designed three PCR primer pairs which can be combined to specifically detect and identify Paa, Pam and Pau in different substrates (plant tissue, water, soil). Second, we studied the occurrence and the allelic distribution for several nuclear single-copy genes containing introns on a wide collection of P. Alni and close species. Mitochondrial DNA was also studied through RFLP and gene sequencing. We demonstrated that i) Pau may not result from a hybridization event, ii) two divergent alleles for each of the nuclear genes are observed in Pam, which suggests this taxon may have been generated by a reticulation or by autopolyploidisation, iii) Paa combines the alleles observed in Pam and Pau and was probably generated by hybridization between Pam and Pau or Pam- and Pau-like taxa. In addition, we studied the expression of elicitin genes, a multigenic family specific to the genus Phytophthora. The cumulative patterns of Pau and Pam in regard with Paa confirmed our first results. Last, in order to study the genetic variability of the different taxa, microsatellite markers were isolated in Paa and characterized. The genotypes we resolved demonstrate a low level of variability for the three taxa. They confirm our hypotheses in regard with Paa origin and suggest that Pam is also an allopolyploid taxon

Full textMany factors can impact the genetic structures and population dynamics of fungal plant pathogens. Here we illustrated some of them at different spatial scales for the poplar rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina. At the scale of France, two main genetic groups were found. The first one infects only wild hosts and results from natural evolution of rust populations. The second one was formed after the R7 resistance breakdown, which is carried by the cultivar ?Beaupré?. This group exhibited a high proportion of virulent 7 individuals and presented signs of selection and demographic expansion; these signs indicate the recent invasion of individuals from this group on both wild and cultivated poplars in the northern half of France. At a regional scale, we focused on a contact zone between the ?cultivated? and the ?wild? genetic groups, located in the Alps. Upstream the Durance River valley, the influence of landscape has been highlighted by the effect of the Ecrins range which protects the ?wild? group located on the east side from the invasion of individuals from the ?cultivated? group, which arise from the northwest. Downstream the valley the annual epidemic wave was shown to be composed of admixed individuals from ?wild? and ?cultivated? groups, originating from both sides of the Ecrins range. Lastly we assessed the genetic consequences of the colonization wave. We evidenced a gradual increase of genetic differentiation with the epidemic source and a loss of genetic diversity. This work highlights the need of combining population genetics and epidemiology to characterize demographic processes and their genetic consequences

Full textMelampsora larici-populina is a pathogenic fungus responsible of poplar leaf rust, causing severe damages in plantations worldwide. Almost all poplar resistances deployed so far in France have been overcome and a major event that occurred in 1994 with the breakdown of resistance R7 mostly used in poplar cultivation. In order to identify candidate genes linked to pathogenicity, I conducted a comparative genomics study based on the sequencing of 15 isolates. This analysis revealed polymorphism patterns correlated to the distribution of virulences among isolates while the necessity of a population genetics study. I then analyzed the genetic structure of a comprehensive collection of 600 isolates of M. larici-populina sampled from 1992 to 2012. This analysis demonstrated the major impact of the R7 breakdown on populations. Finally, I conducted a population genomics analysis to obtain a demographic scenario describing the historical links between populations and to identify genomic regions under selection. This analysis is based on the Illumina sequencing of 86 isolates in four key populations identified by the population genetic analysis. Over 1,000,000 polymorphic positions were identified. The best demographic scenario was assessed using Approximate Bayesian Computation algorithms based on coalescent simulations. Using this demographic scenario, I computed the confidence interval of several population genetic indices. This genome scan analysis was performed on the 86 genomes using this same indices and revealed 20 genomic regions containing 14 genes potentially involving in the resistance 7 breakdown

Full textPhytopathogenic fungi are major parasites to wild or domesticated plant species. The grey mold fungus, Botrytis cinerea, infects more than 1400 plant species and thus is considered a broad generalist. However, recent data have revealed population structure correlated to the host of origin of isolates. This observation raises the hypothesis of ongoing host specialization in a generalist species. Studying this question could greatly deepen our theoretical knowledge of the evolutionary mechanisms involved in the early stages of population divergence and subsequent speciation. This thesis aims (i) to formally demonstrate the host specialization in B. cinerea’s populations and determine its magnitude, and (ii) to identify the genomic determinants of this specialization. Thus, I studied population structure based on 683 isolates characterized using microsatellite markers. We compared the inferred genetic structure with variations in aggressiveness measured through cross-pathogenicity tests on multiple hosts. These experiments and analyses confirmed the specialization of B. cinerea to tomato and grapevine hosts. Besides these specialized lineages, the species B. cinerea is composed of generalist individuals capable of infecting multiple hosts. I sequenced the whole genome of 32 individuals and characterized nucleotide polymorphism. Structure inference and genomic genealogy methods allowed us to more accurately define the population structure and identify a lineage specialized on tomato. Lastly, McDonald-Kreitman tests and genomic scans methods allowed the identification of genes under divergent natural selection between populations, revealing possible genomic determinants of specialization. This work can serve as foundation for the validation of multiple genes involved in host-specific pathogenicity of B. cinerea, and pave the way for the implementation of efficient strategies for managing pathogen reservoirs and new agricultural practices for controlling grey mold

Full textStrategies of genetic control against the phytopathogenic fungus Venturia inaequalis are mainly based on the use of major resistance genes which confer a complete resistance towards the disease. By the end of the Eighties, strains virulent against Vf, the most used resistance gene were evidenced. This thesis was aimed at understanding the evolutionary dynamics of pathogenic populations confronted to selection pressures exerted by a major gene of resistance. Thanks to the use of molecular markers, such as microsatellites and AFLP, we followed up the genetic structure of V. Inaequalis populations in several locations over several years. Our results showed that the genetic diversity of virVf populations drastically decreased as compared to the avrVf populations, revealing the typical structure of a founder effect. In addition, we showed that virVf populations were strongly differentiated from the avrVf populations and that they were stochastically dispersed over Europe from a common source of virulence. Finally, we revealed the maintenance of the genetic differentiation in space and time between virVf and avrVf populations. The lack of gene flow between virVf and avrVf compartments indicated a reproductive isolation of virVf strains, which could be partly explained by the avirulence spectrum of these strains towards some of the non-Vf hosts in the studied orchards. Results obtained from this work allowed us to discuss on the origin and the dispersion of the Vf virulence and then to propose topics to investigate in order to preserve the efficiency of the Vf resistance gene

Full textLarge-scale transcriptomic analyses via messenger RNA sequencing (RNAseq) give access to the information on expression regulation of all the genes present in a sample at a given time and in a given experimental condition. In this thesis, we took advantage of this technology in order to investigate the molecular mechanisms that regulate the reversible yeast-to-hypha morphological switch which is a characteristic often linked to virulence in fungal pathogens. To begin with, we compared transcriptomic data among seven dimorphic fungi and found conserved biological processes associated with the morphological switch among species from very distant branches of the fungal phylogenetic tree. Later, we focused on our model species, Ophiostoma novo-ulmi, the causal agent of Dutch elm disease. We first compared the gene expression levels in yeast and mycelium growth phases. We defined the molecular factors that are specific to each growth phase and highlighted a clear molecular distinction between the two phases in terms of expressed gene contents. We further narrowed down our analysis by focusing on the yeast-to-hypha transition in a time course experiment. We determined the set of genes for which the expression was regulated during the morphological switch, thus potentially involved in the yeast-to-hypha transition. In particular, we identified genes that could be related to the MAPK cascade, known to play a crucial role in the dimorphic switch in many fungal species. Finally, in order to address the level of conservation in the biological processes linked to dimorphism in highly divergent non-model species, we compared the gene expression regulation of the orthologous genes between O. novo-ulmi and the basidiomycete Pseudozyma flocculosa. We focused on the genes that were differentially expressed between the germination and the filamentation phases. We identified several factors for which the regulation of expression seems conserved during the switch from germinating spore to filamentous growth. Overall, these genes are associated with biological processes that play essential roles in fungal development. Hence, our comparison here highlighted core components necessary for the yeast-to-hypha transition in phylogenetically distant species.

Full textPerception of external environment is important for successful infection of plants by fungi. In these organisms, the information about extracellular pH is provided to the cell by a conserved signalling pathway that involves seven proteins. Among these proteins, the transmembrane protein PalH is the putative receptor which would initiate the pH response. The transcription factor PacC, existing in an inactive form in the fungus cell cytoplasm, is activated through proteolysis in response to the pathway activation, and migrates into the nucleus where it activates the « alkaline » genes transcription and represses that of the « acidic » genes. In Magnaporthe grisea , an ascomycete responsible for the main rice disease, the role of this pathway is still unknown. In this work, the PACC and PALH genes have been identified. In order to analyse the role of the two corresponding proteins PacC et PalH, the deletion of these two genes has then been performed. Several phenotypes were studied in the two mutant strains, including growth rate, conidiation and ability to infect host plants. This enabled the investigation of the involvement of the pH signalling pathway in the M. grisea development cycle. Furthermore, a gene expression profiling analysis of the ΔpacC mutant has been undertaken and revealed the multiple cellular responses to pH changes. Taken all together, the results collected in this work indicate that the pH signalling pathway is important for M. grisea's adaptation to an alkaline environment and that it plays a significant role in the fungus pathogenicity

Full textDispersal is a key process for both the dynamics and evolution of natural populations. In addition to being crucial for colonization, dispersal also influences the processes occurring during adaptation. For pathogens, a better understanding of dispersal processes may improve our capacity to control the diseases that they cause. In this thesis, we studied dispersal processes and quantified gene flow in the banana plant pathogen Mycosphaerella fijiensis at the local scale of a production area in South-West Cameroon (named Moungo). For this purpose, several approaches differing in the spatio-temporal scale to which they refer were combined. First, neutral markers were used to describe the spatial genetic structure of this pathogen in the Moungo area, which includes several potential ecological barriers to dispersal. No effects on genetic structure of landscape elements or geographical distance were found. However, we detected a spatial break in allelic frequencies that appeared to be explained by an historical event. This result suggests the existence of large M. fijiensis populations out of the mutation-migration-drift genetic equilibrium. Second, genetic cline theory was applied to study the evolutionary forces implicated in the installation and evolution of spatial gradients in allelic frequencies. More specifically, we analysed the spatio-temporal variation of the genetic discontinuity previously detected through a neutral cline model to estimate the intensity of gene flow in this area ( =1175 m/generation). Lastly, we measured the distribution of dispersal distances of M. fijiensis spores from a primary source of inoculum was. Such an experiment allowed us to confirm that conidia are implicated in short-distance dispersal whereas ascospores are responsible for spread of the disease over longer distances. The estimated mean dispersal distance travelled by spores was 3.12 and 283 metres/generation for conidia and ascospores, respectively, and the ascospore dispersal kernel was shown to be fat-tailed. This thesis adds to global knowledge of M. fijiensis dispersal and the measures of dispersal estimated in this work will be useful in parameterizing models aimed at a better understanding of the spatial patterns of fungicide resistance evolution under different management strategies

Full textTo control plant pathogens, breeding resistant plants is the most cost-effective and ecological strategy. Quantitative resistances, which are based on complex plant mechanisms, are known to be exposed to erosion through an increase of pathogens aggressiveness. Through the study the poplar – poplar rust (Melampsora larici-populina) pathosystem, this work aims to estimate the evolutionary potential of aggressiveness and morphological traits using quantitative genetic approaches and to identify molecular bases through genome-wide association study. To estimate plasticity, heritability, and trade-offs for a set of quantitative traits, we precisely measured their variation in four contrasted pathogen populations. It appeared that spore volume is highly heritable and evolved rapidly. In planta mycelium quantity is also heritable but constant because of stabilizing selection occurring in the studied populations. Latent period, lesion size and sporulation rate exhibit low heritability, which explains the absence of evolution during the studied time period. Traits involved in the sporulating function seem to be the most plastic ones along a leaf maturity gradient. However, the lack of evidence of trade-offs did not allow us to identify aggressiveness traits that would be the best targets for the construction of durable resistance in poplar. No genetic underpinning has been found for quantitative traits, but we have identified a potential avirulence locus (Avr7), opening the way for its functional characterization

Full textAdaptation of a phytopathogenic fungus to its environment, as well as the resulting evolution and structuration of its populations, are strongly influenced by its life history traits which condition its fitness. This is illustrated here with the poplar rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina. Hence, we showed that spore volume repeatedly evolved through natural selection, during annual epidemics in the Durance River valley, showing the implication of this trait in the fungus adaptive processes. Consequently, genetic constraints conditioning the adaptive potential of the fungus, in connection with life history traits, were studied in laboratory, over a progeny resulting from a selfing of a reference strain. Results suggest that M. larici-populina has a high adaptive potential. Finally, a high resolution genetic map of the fungus, comprising 18 chromosomes, has been built in order to study genetic determinism of these traits. One locus of virulence and three QTL involved in the expression of the lesion size were detected and accurately mapped on this map. This work emphasizes the role of quantitative traits in adaptation and structuration of M. larici-populina populations in response to the environmental selective pressures, by conferring an adaptive potential, the basis of organisms’ adaptation. It also opens many opportunities to identify the genetic bases of adaptation of this fungus, these elements being essential for the development of sustainable strategies of disease control

Full textF. graminearum is one of the main causal agents of the fusarium head-blight (FHB), a cereal disease leading to head necrosis, in addition to grain and food/feed contamination by stable and toxic metabolites. Recent observations refer to an increase of pathogenicity, questioning efficiency and durability of current management practices. In order to anticipate this evolution, we must bring a deeper characterization of the currently existing diversity. Six new genomes of F. graminearum were sequenced, and 243,000 genetic variations have been identified and characterized. Seventy seven percent of the total number of the variants was located within 32% of the genome, delineating highly polymorphic islands. These islands are enriched with probable effectors linked to Fusarium’s pathogenicity. The construction and the genotyping on 1,300 molecular markers of a recombinant population have enabled the development of the first high-density genetic map of the species. The remarkable correlation between polymorphism and recombination rate highlighted the 'two-speed' genome organization of this pathogen. Finally, the integration of these data through a quantitative genetic approach allowed the discovery of one quantitative trait locus, likely to affect the gene FgVeA, and responsible for 90% of the observed variation of aggressiveness and mycotoxin production. These results are discussed in the light of F. graminearum’s adaptive potential and evolution
