    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Spot blotch disease of wheat caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana Boerma (Sacc.) is an emerging problem in South Asian countries. Whole genome of a highly virulent isolate of B. sorokiniana BS112 (BHU, Uttar Pradesh; Accession no. GCA_004329375.1) was sequenced using a hybrid assembly approach. Secreted proteins, virulence gene(s), pathogenicity-related gene(s) were identified and the role of ToxA gene present in this genome, in the development of disease was recognized. ToxA gene (535 bp) was analyzed and identified in the genome of B. sorokiniana (BS112) which revealed 100% homology with the ToxA gene of Pyrenophora tritici repentis (Accession no. MH017419). Furthermore, ToxA gene was amplified, sequenced and validated in 39 isolates of B. sorokiniana which confirmed the presence of ToxA gene in all the isolates taken for this study. All ToxA sequences were submitted in NCBI database (MN601358-MN601396). As ToxA gene interacts with Tsn1 gene of host, 13 wheat genotypes were evaluated out of which 5 genotypes (38.4%) were found to be Tsn1 positive with more severe necrotic lesions compared to Tsn1-negative wheat genotypes. In vitro expression analysis of ToxA gene in the pathogen B. sorokiniana using qPCR revealed maximum upregulation (14.67 fold) at 1st day after inoculation (DAI) in the medium. Furthermore, in planta expression analysis of ToxA gene in Tsn1-positive and Tsn1-negative genotypes, revealed maximum expression (7.89-fold) in Tsn1-positive genotype, Agra local at 5th DAI compared to Tsn1-negative genotype Chiriya 7 showing minimum expression (0.048-fold) at 5th DAI. In planta ToxA-Tsn1 interaction studies suggested that spot blotch disease is more severe in Tsn1-positive genotypes, which will be helpful in better understanding and management of spot blotch disease of wheat.
