Summary

Scientists discovered solanoeclepin B (SEB), a potato hatching factor (HF) precursor, in potato and tomato roots. SEB is converted to solanoeclepin A (SEA) by microbes, controlling potato cyst nematode (PCN) hatching.

Area of Science:

  • Plant biochemistry
  • Nematology
  • Agricultural science

Background:

  • Potato cyst nematodes (PCN) cause significant global crop damage.
  • PCN hatching is triggered by host-derived hatching factors (HFs).
  • The biosynthesis of Solanoeclepin A (SEA), a key HF, remains unelucidated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify novel hatching factors (HFs) involved in potato cyst nematode (PCN) hatching.
  • To elucidate the biosynthesis pathway of HFs in host plants.
  • To explore potential strategies for controlling PCN by manipulating HF production.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of potato and tomato root exudates to identify hatching factors.
  • Biotic conversion studies to understand the transformation of hatching factors.
  • Genetic analysis in tomato, including gene disruption, to identify biosynthetic genes.
  • Assay of root exudates for PCN hatch-stimulating activity.

Main Results:

  • Discovery of solanoeclepin B (SEB) in potato and tomato root exudates.
  • Demonstration that SEB is biosynthesized in plants and converted to SEA by biotic agents.
  • Identification of five genes in tomato encoding enzymes (2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases) involved in SEB biosynthesis.
  • Disruption of these genes resulted in reduced SEB production and low PCN hatch-stimulating activity.

Conclusions:

  • SEB is a precursor to the active hatching factor SEA, with its biosynthesis occurring within the plant.
  • The identified genes are crucial for SEB production in tomato.
  • Understanding this pathway offers a target for developing crops with reduced susceptibility to PCN infection.
