Parastagonospora (syn. , , ) (Berk.) Quaedvleig, Verkley & Crous is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen that causes the disease Septoria nodorum blotch (SNB) on wheat ( L. subsp. ). The fungus produces necrotrophic effectors (NEs) that cause cell death when recognized by corresponding host genes, which ultimately leads to disease. To date, eight host gene–NE interactions have been described in the wheat– system. Here, we report the identification and partial characterization of a ninth interaction involving a -produced NE designated SnTox7 and a wheat gene designated . SnTox7 is a small protein with an estimated size less than 30 kDa and largely resistant to heat and chemical treatment. The gene governs sensitivity to SnTox7 and was delineated to a 2.7-cM interval on the long arm of wheat chromosome 2D. The –SnTox7 interaction explained 33% of the variation in disease among a segregating population, indicating that the interaction plays a prominent role in the development of SNB. The sensitivity allele was identified in the hexaploid wheat cultivar Timstein, but evaluation of a set of 52 hexaploid lines of diverse origin indicated that few genotypes harbored a functional allele, thus indicating that is relatively rare. The identification of the –SnTox7 interaction adds to our knowledge of the wheat– pathosystem, which has become a model for necrotrophic specialist fungal pathogens and their interactions with plants leading to necrotrophic effector-triggered susceptibility. |
