Characterization of a Gene Identified in Pathotype 5 of the Clubroot Pathogen<i>Plasmodiophora brassicae</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Clubroot caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae is an important disease of crucifers worldwide. Isolates of the pathogen can be classified into pathotypes according to their pathogenicity on differential hosts. In this study, the presence or absence of all database-available nonhousekeeping P. brassicae genes (118 in total) were assessed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis in isolates belonging to five P. brassicae pathotypes (2, 3, 5, 6, and 8 according to Williams' differential set). One gene, designated Cr811, was present exclusively in the isolate of pathotype 5. This was further confirmed by dot blot hybridization and by PCR using alternative DNA preparations and primers. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR analysis indicated that in planta expression of Cr811 was up-regulated during canola infection, especially in the stage of secondary plasmodia. Primers specific to Cr811 could distinguish a field isolate of P. brassicae belonging to pathotype 5 from two other field isolates representing pathotypes 3 and 8. These findings suggest that Cr811 is a gene that is potentially involved in clubroot pathogenesis and that it also might serve as a molecular marker for differentiation of pathotype 5 from other pathotypes.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
