ABSTRACT In this study, we have constructed and expressed inverted repeat chimeras from the first exons of the six known hydrophobins of the fungus Cladosporium fulvum, the causal agent of tomato leaf mold. We used quantitative PCR to measure specifically the expression levels of the hydrophobins. The targeted genes are silenced to different degrees, but we also detected clear changes in the expression levels of nontargeted genes. This work highlights the difficulties that are likely to be encountered when attempting to silence more than one gene in a multigene family.

ABSTRACTTomato leaf mould disease is caused by the biotrophic fungusCladosporium fulvum. During infection,C. fulvumproduces extracellular small secreted protein (SSP) effectors that function to promote colonization of the leaf apoplast. Resistance to the disease is governed byCfimmune receptor genes that encode receptor-like proteins (RLPs). These RLPs recognize specific SSP effectors to initiate a hypersensitive response (HR) that renders the pathogen avirulent.C. fulvumstrains capable of overcoming one or more of all clonedCfgenes have now emerged. To combat these strains, newCfgenes are required. An effectoromics approach was employed to identify wild tomato accessions carrying newCfgenes. Proteomics and transcriptome sequencing were first used to identify 70 apoplasticin planta-inducedC. fulvumSSPs. Based on sequence homology, 61 of these SSPs were novel or lacked known functional domains. Seven, however, had predicted structural homology to antimicrobial proteins, suggesting a possible role in mediating antagonistic microbe−microbe interactionsin planta. Wild tomato accessions were then screened for HR-associated recognition of 41 SSPs using thePotato virus X-based transient expression system. Nine SSPs were recognized by one or more accessions, suggesting that these plants carry newCfgenes available for incorporation into cultivated tomato.
