A Message from the PresidentThe XIV IS-MPMI Congress to be held in Québec City is only a few weeks ahead and Hani Antoun, the congress organizer, and the Local Organizing Committee are ready to receive participants from more than 30 countries, making it possible once again to gather together members of our society. Multiple benefits are also ahead of us, including

hearing first-hand science on the cutting edge, establishing new collaborations, and last but not least, making new friends and meeting dear colleagues in the diverse field of plant-microbe interactions. All of this will happen in one of the most emblematic and charming venue cities of the Northern Hemisphere.

A sign of robustness and driving vitality is evident when a scientific community is able to attract and congregate a substantial number of graduate students and young scientists to do stimulating work in their fields of competence, assuring both its prevalence and evolution. In this regard, it is rewarding and extremely pleasing to know that, at the XIV edition of the congress, almost 50% of the attendees will be students and post-docs working in different fields of plant-microbe interactions. In light of the increasing interest of young scientists in the different aspects of plant-microbe interactions, it is vital that authorities support research in new developments, create opportunities by opening positions and scholarships for young scientists, and commend the renewed interest, creativity, and professionalism of those professors and mentors who teach and lead with enthusiasm and scientific rigor, while unraveling the frontiers of knowledge. One example of such a remarkable person, is the outstanding professor, mentor, and scientist, Jeff Dangl.

This year, IS-MPMI is proud to honor Dangl, one of its most distinguished members, for his pioneering and passionate commitment to unraveling the puzzling mysteries of signaling pathways that plants use in defense of pathogens with this year’s IS-MPMI Award. In 2009, he also received the important Stephen Hales Prize from the American Society of Plant Biologists. (See adjacent article for more on Dangl and this notable award.)

My term as president of IS-MPMI is coming to an end at the XIV Congress, and it has been an honor and a great pleasure to serve our society. I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the help and continuous support received from the staff members of IS-MPMI and my colleagues from the Board of Directors. I wish most success to the new president of IS-MPMI, Felice Cervone.

2009 IS-MPMI Award Winner AnnouncedJeff Dangl, a plant-genome scientist and the John N. Couch Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of North Carolina (UNC), Chapel Hill, is this year’s recipient of the IS-MPMI Award. The award, only the second to be given, honors outstanding innovative research. The first award went to Thomas Boller, Institute of Botany, University of Basel, Switzerland, in 2007.

This year’s winner joined UNC in 1995, after receiving a B.S. degree in biology, a B.A. degree in modern literature (1981), and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees (1986) from Stanford University. He is an elected member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, a fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and associate director of the Carolina Center for Genome Science. He served on the MPMI Editorial Board for 11 years. This self-proclaimed “hard-core geneticist” focuses on host-pathogen interactions, mainly looking at how plants recognize and fend off pathogens; overall, how to make plants more disease resistant.

His lab mostly uses Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress)—the first plant genome to be sequenced—to study disease resistance. The lab’s research centers on 1) understanding the structure and function of plant NB-LRR disease resistance proteins, especially RPM1; 2) the molecular control of hypersensitive programmed cell death that accompanies disease resistance responses; and 3) understanding the molecular mechanism by which pathogenic bacteria cause disease in plants using diverse suites of type III effector proteins.

Dangl has made significant contributions to the understanding of plant defense from pathogens and the molecular basis of the innate immune response in plants. For these and other important contributions to the field of molecular-plant interactions and following an internal vote process by the IS-MPMI Board of Directors, Dangl was elected as the recipient of the 2009 award.

Caroline GutjahrUniversity of LausanneLausanne, Switzerland

I studied biology at the University of Freiburg (Germany) and the University of Aberdeen (Scotland) with a main focus on plant physiology and minors in microbiology, tropical ecology,

and philosophy. My diploma (equivalent to an M.Sc.) finished with a thesis in the lab of Peter Nick at the University of Freiburg (now Karlsruhe). I studied the role of phytohormone gradients and the cytoskeleton in gravitropism of rice coleoptiles and found that the classically well-known auxin gradient, first proposed by Cholodny and Went, is opposed by a gradient of jasmonic acid during gravitropism. During undergraduate courses in tropical ecology at Aberdeen, I had been introduced to the importance of rhizobial and mycorrhizal symbioses for plant nutrition, especially on poor soils. A research expedition to Sri Lanka shortly after strengthened the impression these courses left on me. I saw how farmers recovered soils that were badly degraded because of intensive tea cultivation for small-scale, self-subsistence agriculture. They induced an artificial succession by planting legume trees, which are hosts to rhizobia and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Enriching the soil with nutrients in this way, they prepared the ground for more demanding crops which were planted a few years later. Although I am fascinated by the potential of plant root symbioses to help establish sustainable agricultural practices, I am mostly interested in basic research and I started to ask myself questions, such as “How can a plant distinguish between pathogenic and symbiotic microbes and react accordingly?” and “What are the signals and mechanisms that lead to reprogramming of host cells allowing changes in shape (as during formation of an arbuscule) or formation of a new organ (like a nodule) to occur?”

I decided to work on the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and joined the well-established lab of Paola Bonfante at the University of Turin (Italy) to study physiological changes occurring in roots of the model legume Lotus japonicus in response to presymbiotic signals exuded by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. After having spent one year in Italy, I started a Ph.D. thesis (supported by fellowships from the German National Academic Foundation and the Roche Foundation, Switzerland) in the relatively young lab of Uta Paszkowski at the University of Geneva (Switzerland) and moved with her to the University of

Lausanne (Switzerland) one year later. The initial phase of my Ph.D. degree turned out to be quite exciting, as we not only set up a new lab but also established rice as a new model plant for mycorrhiza research. Using qPCR and in situ hybridization, I first developed a set of robust marker genes in rice that could be used as readouts for arbuscular mycorrhiza-specific signaling when characterizing rice mutants or specific physiological scenarios. I found that 18 rice genes, which had emerged from a microarray study previously performed in Paszkowski’s lab, were exclusively expressed in mycorrhizal rice roots and fell into several classes of spatio-temporal expression patterns during arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization. Two of these marker genes encode putative small apoplastic proteins containing an LysM domain. This domain is known to bind chitin oligomers and is present in legume Nod-factor receptors, as well as in Arabidopsis and rice receptors for chitin elicitors released by pathogenic fungi. Also, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are predicted to release chitin oligomers of some sort, for example, during hyphal growth. Being very intrigued by the possible function of these LysM domain-containing proteins, we created transgenic rice perturbed in expression of these genes via RNAi-mediated silencing and over-expression and are currently analyzing the transgenic lines. As a second step, I determined how far signaling components known to be required for the mycorrhizal symbiosis in dicotyledonous legumes are conserved in the phylogenetically distant monocotyledonous rice. Taking advantage of the extensive reverse genetics collections of rice insertion mutants, I could demonstrate (in parallel with the labs of Haruko Imaizumi-Anraku, Japan, and Hongyan Zhu, United States) that four components (CASTOR, POLLUX, CCAMK, and CYCLOPS) of the legume common SYM pathway are conserved in rice. In mutants of all four signaling components, arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization stops at the rhizodermis and the cortex is never colonized. Nevertheless, the mutants still express some of the above-mentioned marker genes. The gene expression pattern differs between the mutants depending on their position within the common SYM pathway. We concluded that mycorrhizal-specific signaling must be a complex signaling network with signaling cues that should be independent and such that are deviating from the main common SYM-signaling pathway. Using transcriptomics as readout for underlying signaling events, I am currently investigating more deeply into some recently discovered peculiarities of common SYM signaling in rice.

I joined IS-MPMI after the congress in Mérida, Mexico, where the temples of Uxmal remained “in the dark and silence” but the scientific part of my mind did not. I perceive that IS-MPMI is a great platform for information exchange in our rapidly evolving field.

During my studies, plant-microbe interactions were not my focus. I was interested in the application of science in industries, and I took a job in Novo Nordisk Japan, currently

known as Novozymes Japan, just after I obtained a master’s degree in biotechnology at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan. The company specialized in producing industrial enzymes, and my project was the cloning, expression, and characterization of the genes that encode enzymes. I enjoyed the new environment and my work, but gradually I was attracted to the world of plant-microbe interactions because I cloned a few genes from plant-pathogenic fungi and wondered about their functions in nature.

In 2001, I started a Ph.D. degree in plant pathology at Kansas State University, U.S.A., as a Tillman scholar. The reasons I went to the United States were to improve my English skills and to get financial support, which we didn’t normally get in Japan at that time. I joined Frank White’s lab and studied the interaction of rice and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. In the beginning, I focused on the bacteria side and studied hrpF in X. oryzae pv. oryzae. Although HrpF was known as a translocon of type III secretion system (TTSS), we found that HrpF was not absolutely necessary for X. oryzae pv. oryzae to secrete avirulence proteins and trigger hypersensitive response.

Next, I studied rice responses to X. oryzae pv. oryzae ingress. I examined several rice genes that are induced by X. oryzae pv. oryzae infection, and with Bing Yang (he became an assistant professor at Iowa State University) in the lab, we discovered that the activities of specific X. oryzae pv. oryzae virulence factors were correlated with the inductions of corresponding rice genes. We have also shown that the induction of those rice genes made rice more susceptible to some X. oryzae pv. oryzae strains. The X. oryzae pv. oryzae virulence factors have a common structure that looks like a transcription activator and are secreted in TTSS-dependent manner. Therefore, we hypothesized that those effectors activate transcription of rice genes to create a suitable environment for bacteria growth. We don’t know which kind of condition is actually “suitable” for the bacteria yet. It might be achieved by suppression of host defense or higher availability of nutrients.

In 2004, I received a Sarachek pre-doctoral honors fellowship which financially helped me a lot and

encouraged me to explore science in a different country. After I obtained my Ph.D. degree in 2005, I was interested in studying plant systems by using pathogen infection as a tool. I left Kansas and started my first post-doc in Andy Maule’s lab at the John Innes Centre, United Kingdom, as a Marie Curie Incoming International Fellow.

It has been known that virus infection leads to the induction of plant cytosolic Hsp70. It was presumed that the response was triggered by accumulation of virus proteins (some misfolded), but no one had formally examined this idea. We named this response as cytosolic protein response (CPR) and investigated it as a parallel response to unfolded protein response (UPR), which is a response to the accumulation of misfolded protein in ER. By comparing plant responses to different treatments that create misfolded proteins, we succeeded in dissecting CPR from larger heat shock response and identified a part of the pathway that triggers the induction of Hsp70. In this two-year post-doc period, I experienced the power of Arabidopsis and Nicotiana benthamiana in plant research.

After training in the Maule lab, I decided to return to study plant-microbe interactions closely and am currently working as a post-doc in Saskia Hogenhout’s lab in the John Innes Centre. We are studying plant-pathogenic bacteria, phytoplasma strain aster yellows witches’-broom (AY-WB), which can infect the model plant Arabidopsis. Phytoplasmas are transmitted by leafhoppers and cause severe damage on multiple host plants. The symptoms are diverse and often show disturbance of normal plant development. For example, phytoplasma-infected Arabidopsis produce a cluster of young leaves and green-colored flowers. Interestingly, phytoplasma-infected plants are more attractive to insect vectors and increase the fecundity of the insects. We hypothesized that phytoplasmas secrete multiple effector proteins that target plant development and/or defense system against insects and the bacteria. To prove this hypothesis, we are currently studying the function of AY-WB-secreted proteins and identified a few proteins that change the morphology of Arabidopsis.

As I was educated in a university that specialized in engineering, I tend to be attracted to research that can be useful in future industry. Molecular plant-microbe interactions is a perfect research field because many studies ask fundamental biological questions but they are not too far from the applications. I became a member of IS-MPMI and attended the IS-MPMI Congress held in Sorrento, Italy, in 2006. I appreciated the financial assistance provided by IS-MPMI. I enjoyed the talks and poster presentations, and in addition to that, I really enjoyed meeting with old and new friends at the congress. I am looking forward to seeing them this year in Québec City.

Being fascinated by nature and bird watching and strongly influenced as a high school student by books of the behavioral scientist Konrad Lorenz, I studied zoology at the

University of Zurich, obtaining a (master’s) diploma in zoology in 1977. Soon I became captivated by molecular biology and decided to concentrate on this exciting and expanding field for my further education. I stayed at the Institute of Zoology working on tRNA genes of Drosophila melanogaster and obtained a Ph.D. degree in 1981. From 1982 to 1984, I joined the Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) of the Medical Research Council (MRC) in Cambridge, United Kingdom, as a post-doctoral fellow. The method to transform D. melanogaster had just been published, and working under the supervision of Andrew Travers and Hugh Pelham, I took the opportunity to perform one of the first in vivo promoter analyses in transgenic flies. My stay at the MRC had a permanent impact on my scientific thinking and independence that still is invaluable for me today. After my post-doctoral stay, I took a job as a lecturer at the Institute of Plant Biology, University of Zurich, with Roger Parish. Although at a plant research institute, he ran a cancer project and had just published a paper describing a monoclonal antibody that inhibited the invasiveness of metastatic mouse cancer cells. Free to choose and fascinated by the project, I decided to clone the gene encoding the mouse epitope recognized by the antibody. After many difficulties we succeeded, surprisingly discovering that the epitope belonged to a periplasmic binding protein homolog of a high-affinity transport system (an ABC transporter) in Mycoplasma hyorhinis, discovering such transporters in Gram-positive bacteria. This led to two publications in EMBO journal in 1988 that are still cited, since a connection between this mycoplasma species and certain cancer forms has materialized also clinically. Being at a plant biology institute, where I was promoted to adjunct professor in 2001, I finally chose to change my research to acquired resistance in cereals, at the beginning mainly focsing on the interaction of powdery mildew with wheat, but also on the interaction of rice blast with rice. We began by cloning transcripts accumulating at the onset of acquired resistance. It became quickly obvious that, to test whether the respective genes were involved in resistance, a quick and reliable assay system for candidate genes was needed. We thus established a transient assay system based on the biolistic transformation of cereal epidermal cells. This widely used system works well and allows scoring of the phenotypic effect on powdery mildew-cereal interactions of transient over-expression as well as suppression by RNA interference of genes of interest. From this period, two diverging research projects evolved. One was triggered by the cloning of a pathogen-

induced glutathione-S-transferase (GST) gene from wheat in the early 1990s. At that time, the first multiple drug resistance (MDR) protein was cloned in mammals. Being familiar with ABC transporters from the cancer cell work and hypothesizing that GSTs would conjugate drugs and perhaps herbicides that then would be transported out of the cell or into the vacuole likely by an MDR homologue, we cloned the first plant ABC transporter (which we named PGP1) from Arabidopsis. Although the hypothesis was later shown to be correct, we of course cloned the wrong one. Plants with altered PGP1 expression exhibited a developmental phenotype and PGP1 was later shown to be involved in auxin transport in a collaboration with Enrico Martinoia’s laboratory at our institute.

Another project had its origins in results we could not reproduce while studying acquired resistance of rice. As in wheat, we had cloned a number of rice transcripts that accumulated at the onset of acquired resistance (AR) of rice to rice blast, although only locally and not systemi-cally as we thought they should. As AR was triggered by infiltration of a particular strain of the nonhost pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae, we tried another P. syringae pv. syringae strain. We still did not see systemic accumulation of our transcripts of interest, but one of them (named Pir7b) no longer accumulated at all with the new strain. The Pir7b product exhibited strong sequence similarity to a class of hydroxynitrile lyases of certain cyanogenic plants (rice of course is not cyanogenic) but had esterase activity with a very restricted set of model substrates. I thought that we could elucidate the biological function of Pir7b if we identified the difference between the two P. syringae pv. syringae strains responsible for Pir7b transcript accumulation. Using Pir7b activation as an assay, we showed that the relevant difference was the secretion of a cyclic peptide derivative we named syringo-lin A (SylA). One of the intriguing properties of SylA was that, upon spray application, it triggered hypersensitive cell death of wheat (and Arabidopsis) cells colonized by powdery mildew, thus converting a compatible interac-tion into an incompatible one. Transcriptome analyses of SylA-sprayed and untreated plants revealed very complex SylA-induced changes whose interpretation eventually led to the hypothesis that SylA may target the proteasome. Recently, we showed together with our collaborators that SylA is a virulence factor synthesized by many strains of P. syringae pv. syringae (but not by other pathovars as far as tested) that irreversibly inhibit the eukaryotic proteasome by a novel mechanism. Cloning of the SylA synthetase gene cluster allowed to build a SylA biosynthesis model, which in turn allowed the cloning of the gene cluster re-sponsible for the biosynthesis of glidobactin A (GlbA), a structurally similar antifungal and antitumor agent isolated from an unknown species belonging to the Burkholderi-ales 20 years ago. We showed that GlbA is also a protea-some inhibitor acting by the same mechanism as SylA, and thus we dubbed this class of inhibitors as syrbactins. Homologous gene clusters potentially responsible for the synthesis of syrbactin-like compounds were identified in an intriguing set of human and insect pathogens (Burk-holderia pseudomallei, B. oklahomensis, Photorhabdus

asymbiotica, P. luminescens). Currently, we are engaged in a number of collaborations to elucidate the biology of this new class of proteasome inhibitors. Why is SylA a virulence factor? Are the putative syrbactin-like compounds of the mentioned pathogens also virulence factors? And, because proteasome inhibitors are a promising class of anticancer therapeutics, is there a medical potential of syrbactins? These and other questions will keep us busy for some time.

In 1990, I attended the first IS-MPMI Congress in Interlaken which, being new to the field, was tremendously instructive

for me. Since I have entered the field of plant-pathogen interactions, IS-MPMI and its journal have been important for me. This is also reflected by the fact that part of the research output of my laboratory was published in MPMI.

Since 2000, I am fortunate to be involved in an interesting and rewarding connection with Zhejiang Agricultural University in Hangzhou, China, as a visiting professor. This interaction will be intensified in the coming years as I was elected Pao Yu-Kong Chair Professor at Zhejiang University for 2009–2011.
