De novo transcriptomic assembly and mRNA expression patterns of Botryosphaeria dothidea infection with mycoviruses chrysovirus 1 (BdCV1) and partitivirus 1 (BdPV1)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Pear ring rot, caused by Botryosphaeria species, is responsible for substantial economic losses by causing severe recession of pear tree growth in China. Mycovirus-mediated hypovirulence in plant pathogenic fungi is a crucial biological method to control fungal diseases. METHODS: We conducted a large-scale and comprehensive transcriptome analysis to identify mRNA in B. dothidea in response to mycovirus. De novo sequencing technology from four constructed libraries of LW-C (Botryosphaeria dothidea chrysovirus 1, BdCV1), LW-P (Botryosphaeria dothidea partitivirus 1, BdPV1), LW-CP (LW-1 strain infection with BdCV1 and BdPV1), and Mock (free virus) was used to investigate and compare gene expression changes in B.dothidea strains infected with mycovirus. RESULTS: In total, 30,058 Unigenes with an average length of 2128 bp were obtained from 4 libraries of B. dothidea strains. These were annotated to specify their classified function. We demonstrate that mRNAs of B. dothidea strains in response to mycovirus are differentially expressed. In total, 5598 genes were up-regulated and 3298 were down-regulated in the LW-CP group, 4468 were up-regulated and 4291 down-regulated in the LW-C group, and 2590 were up-regulated and 2325 down-regulated in the LW-P group. RT-qPCR was used to validate the expression of 9 selected genes. The B. dothidea transcriptome was more affected by BdCV1 infection than BdPV1. We conducted GO enrichment analysis to characterize gene functions regulated by B. dothidea with mycovirus infection. These involved metabolic process, cellular process, catalytic activity, transporter activity, signaling, and other biological pathways. KEGG function analysis demonstrated that the enriched differentially expressed genes are involved in metabolism, transcription, signal transduction, and ABC transport. mRNA is therefore involved in the interaction between fungi and mycovirus. In addition, changes in differential accumulation levels of cp and RdRp of BdCV1 and BdPV1 in B. dothidea strains were evaluated, revealing that the accumulation of BdCV1 and BdPV1 is related to the phenotype and virulence of B. dothidea strain LW-1. CONCLUSIONS: The identification and analysis of mRNAs from B. dothidea was first reported at the transcriptome level. Our analysis provides further insight into the interaction of B. dothidea strains infection with chrysovirus 1 (BdCV1) and partitivirus 1 (BdPV1) at the transcriptome level.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
