Outline of Final Research Achievements

Phytopathogenic Fusarium oxysporum is differentiated in virulence like formae speciales based on a range of plant species which can be the host, and races based on a range cultivars which can be the host. Although this differentiation is very clear, the mechanism of differentiation has been unknown. Recently, it has been reported that F. oxysporum may have a small chromosome that is not essential for growth, and this small chromosome is involved in virulence. In this study, analyses and comparison of genes and structures on small chromosomes of F. oxysporum isolates with different virulence, suggesting that some genes may be involved in virulence, host specificity determination, race determination, etc. We obtained basic knowledge for elucidating pathogenic differentiation mechanisms such as forms and races.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

植物病原性Fusarium oxysporumの分化型やレースの未詳な分化機構を、小型染色体の解析を通して明らかにすることができる可能性を示した。これは、これまでの病原と植物(抵抗性品種)のいたちごっこのメカニズム解析および小型染色体の寄与の解明につながり、植物病理学的に興味深いばかりでなく、今後の育種などによる病害防除のヒントになり、社会的意義がある。
