<div type="abstract" xml:lang="en">
<p>The successful interaction between pathogen/parasite and host requires a delicate balance between fitness of the former and survival of the latter. To optimize fitness a parasite/pathogen must effectively create an environment conducive to reproductive success, while simultaneously avoiding or minimizing detrimental host defense response. The association between
<italic>Microbotryum lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
and its host
<italic>Silene latifolia</italic>
serves as an excellent model to examine such interactions. This fungus is part of a species complex that infects species of the Caryophyllaceae, replacing pollen with the fungal spores. In the current study, transcriptome analyses of the fungus and its host were conducted during discrete stages of bud development so as to identify changes in fungal gene expression that lead to spore development and to identify changes associated with infection in the host plant. In contrast to early biotrophic phase stages of infection for the fungus, the latter stages involve tissue necrosis and in the case of infected female flowers, further changes in the developmental program in which the ovary aborts and a pseudoanther is produced. Transcriptome analysis via Illumina RNA sequencing revealed enrichment of fungal genes encoding small secreted proteins, with hallmarks of effectors and genes found to be relatively unique to the
<italic>Microbotryum</italic>
species complex. Host gene expression analyses also identified interesting sets of genes up-regulated, including those involving stress response, host defense response, and several agamous-like MADS-box genes (AGL61 and AGL80), predicted to interact and be involved in male gametophyte development.</p>

<abstract>
<p>The successful interaction between pathogen/parasite and host requires a delicate balance between fitness of the former and survival of the latter. To optimize fitness a parasite/pathogen must effectively create an environment conducive to reproductive success, while simultaneously avoiding or minimizing detrimental host defense response. The association between
<italic>Microbotryum lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
and its host
<italic>Silene latifolia</italic>
serves as an excellent model to examine such interactions. This fungus is part of a species complex that infects species of the Caryophyllaceae, replacing pollen with the fungal spores. In the current study, transcriptome analyses of the fungus and its host were conducted during discrete stages of bud development so as to identify changes in fungal gene expression that lead to spore development and to identify changes associated with infection in the host plant. In contrast to early biotrophic phase stages of infection for the fungus, the latter stages involve tissue necrosis and in the case of infected female flowers, further changes in the developmental program in which the ovary aborts and a pseudoanther is produced. Transcriptome analysis via Illumina RNA sequencing revealed enrichment of fungal genes encoding small secreted proteins, with hallmarks of effectors and genes found to be relatively unique to the
<italic>Microbotryum</italic>
species complex. Host gene expression analyses also identified interesting sets of genes up-regulated, including those involving stress response, host defense response, and several agamous-like MADS-box genes (AGL61 and AGL80), predicted to interact and be involved in male gametophyte development.</p>

<body>
<p>The interaction between a pathogen/parasite and its host may be characterized as an intricate and intimate dance between two organisms whose interests are in conflict but whose fates are tethered. The “lead” in this dance must balance the need to optimize reproductive success with the dependence on host survival, at least until the music stops and the dance has ended.</p>
<p>The
<italic>Microbotryum-Silene</italic>
system is a natural plant-pathogen association serving as a model in ecology, epidemiology, and evolution (
<xref rid="bib3" ref-type="bibr">Bernasconi
<italic>et al.</italic>
2009</xref>
). Members of the
<italic>Microbotryum</italic>
fungal complex cause anther-smut disease on >100 plant species in the Caryophyllaceae family (
<xref rid="bib25" ref-type="bibr">Kemler
<italic>et al.</italic>
2006</xref>
;
<xref rid="bib19" ref-type="bibr">Hood
<italic>et al.</italic>
2010</xref>
).
<italic>Microbotryum</italic>
species are considered biotrophic, since they colonize living plant tissue and obtain nutrients from living host cells. However, the anther-smut fungi sterilize plants by producing spores in anthers, replacing pollen, and aborting ovaries (
<xref rid="bib39" ref-type="bibr">Refrégier
<italic>et al.</italic>
2008</xref>
). The best-studied association is
<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
parasitizing
<italic>Silene latifolia</italic>
(
<xref rid="bib39" ref-type="bibr">Refrégier
<italic>et al.</italic>
2008</xref>
). This fungus has served as an important system of investigation for nearly a century (
<xref rid="bib26" ref-type="bibr">Kniep 1919</xref>
) and has emerged as a model of fungal speciation and host specialization following host shifts (
<xref rid="bib25" ref-type="bibr">Kemler

<xref rid="bib13" ref-type="bibr">Gladieux

). This system has extended into the area of genomics, with a nearly completed genome assembly in full chromosomes or chromosome arms, as well as expression data (

).</p>
<p>
<italic>S. latifolia</italic>
is a dioecious flowering plant with dimorphic sex chromosomes where the presence or absence of the Y chromosome controls the appearance and suppression of the appropriate reproductive organs.
<italic>S. latifolia</italic>
has become an important model for the study of sex determination in plants and the evolution of sex chromosomes (
<xref rid="bib5" ref-type="bibr">Charlesworth 2013</xref>
). During
<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
infection of
<italic>S. latifolia</italic>
male flowers, dikaryotic fungal hyphae penetrate the host tissue and proceed through the plant causing little or no tissue damage. Upon reaching the flower primordia, the dikarya develop into the teliospores and replace the pollen in the anthers. In contrast, infection of the female host suppresses gynoecium formation and facilitates continued androecium development thus allowing mature anthers to house teliospores in a manner similar to what is seen in a male host (
<xref rid="bib43" ref-type="bibr">Ruddat
<italic>et al.</italic>
1991</xref>
;
<xref rid="bib47" ref-type="bibr">Uchida
<italic>et al.</italic>
2003</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib48" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>
). The codevelopment of the fungus in the floral bud has been studied and characterized, such that the stage of the floral bud (
<xref rid="bib17" ref-type="bibr">Grant
<italic>et al.</italic>
1994</xref>
) is indicative of the stage at which the fungus is engaged in teliosporogenesis (
<xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Farbos
<italic>et al.</italic>
1997</xref>
;
<xref rid="bib47" ref-type="bibr">Uchida
<italic>et al.</italic>
2003</xref>
;
<xref rid="bib45" ref-type="bibr">Toh and Perlin 2015</xref>
). Most of these actions take place in the early floral bud development, between Stages 8 and 11. Hence, we embarked on an effort to tease apart the interaction of the pathogen and its hosts at the transcriptome level by performing RNA sequencing on the discrete stages of the floral tissue based on careful developmental staging (
<xref rid="bib45" ref-type="bibr">Toh and Perlin 2015</xref>
).</p>
<p>Simultaneous RNA-Seq (
<xref rid="bib49" ref-type="bibr">Westermann
<italic>et al.</italic>
2012</xref>
) of host and pathogen allows examination of the transcriptomes in parallel and has been used in compatible and incompatible plant-pathogen systems to uncover pathogenesis and defense-related genes,
<italic>e.g.</italic>
, in the interactions of rice (
<italic>Oryza sativa</italic>
) with blast fungus (
<italic>Magnaporthe oryzae</italic>
) (

<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae</italic>

<p>In our current study, we compared the gene expression of

seeds were harvested in Summer 2009 from greenhouse grown plants; these were originally from seeds of a field population in Clover Hollow (37.328–80.488) near Mt Lake Biological Station, Virginia, and were kindly provided by M. Hood. Germination and infection of the host plant were performed as previously published (

;
<xref rid="bib45" ref-type="bibr">Toh and Perlin 2015</xref>
).</p>
<p>Floral buds were staged as described in
<xref rid="bib45" ref-type="bibr">Toh and Perlin (2015</xref>
). In addition, the pedicels of the floral cluster were collected as the Floral Stem Tissue. Three floral stem, two Stage 8, two Stage 9, two Stage 10, and five late-stage samples were obtained from two male infected plants and were submitted for RNA-Seq at the Broad Institute for sequencing via Illumina. Two of these late-stage samples were of low quality and not used in the final analysis. Two floral stem, one Stage 7, one Stage 9, one Stage 10, and two late-stage samples were obtained from a single female infected plant and submitted for RNA-Seq.</p>
<p>In analyzing the differential expression data from infected plants, independent changes were considered first before considering changes found in both male and female, since they are biologically very different. However, since there was only one sample for most of the female stages, it is difficult to determine if a change was not present or simply not strong enough statistically to be reported. Hence, we analyzed these as combined samples for floral stem, Stage 8 (in this case, infected male Stage 8 and infected female Stage 7 as the closest comparable pair), Stage 9, Stage 10, and late stage of infection.</p>

<title>RNA extraction and sequencing</title>
<p>RNA was extracted and processed as previously published (
<xref rid="bib37" ref-type="bibr">Perlin
<italic>et al.</italic>
2015</xref>
). A minimum of 5 μg of DNA-free RNA was prepared for each desired stage and sent to the Broad Institute for RNA-Sequencing via Illumina. For RNA-Seq, we purified polyA RNA, constructed a strand-specific library for each sample as previously described (
<xref rid="bib37" ref-type="bibr">Perlin
<italic>et al.</italic>
2015</xref>
), and sequenced each with Illumina technology generating 76 base paired reads. Across the libraries, 96% of reads met the Illumina Passing Filter quality threshold. For the
<italic>in planta</italic>
samples, only 23% of reads aligned to the
<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
genome. This was expected as these samples also contain the host
<italic>Silene</italic>
RNAs. To assemble transcripts for use in annotation, RNA-Seq reads were aligned to the assembly with Blat, and then assembled as described previously (
<xref rid="bib37" ref-type="bibr">Perlin
<italic>et al.</italic>
2015</xref>
).</p>
<p>RNA-Seq data from different conditions were processed using the Trinity pipeline scripts for differential expression analysis (

<italic>et al.</italic>

;
<xref rid="bib18" ref-type="bibr">Haas

2013</xref>
). For analysis of fungal gene expression, RNA-Seq reads from each sample were aligned to the predicted M.
<italic>lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
coding sequences from the annotated genome (
<xref rid="bib37" ref-type="bibr">Perlin

) using bowtie (
<xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">Langmead
<italic>et al.</italic>

). Transcript abundances were estimated using RSEM (
<xref rid="bib30" ref-type="bibr">Li and Dewey 2011</xref>
). Differentially expressed genes between each pair of conditions were identified using edgeR with TMM normalization (

;
<xref rid="bib20" ref-type="bibr">Kadota

) with a corrected p-value cutoff of 1e−5 or 1e−2 (Supplemental Material,

. For analysis of host gene expression, a reference transcript set was created; RNA-Seq reads from all infected and uninfected host samples were pooled together and assembled using Trinity (
<xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">Grabherr
<italic>et al.</italic>
2011</xref>
). Assembled transcripts were filtered based on the alignment with the
<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
fungal genome (

<italic>et al.</italic>
2015</xref>

<xref rid="bib37" ref-type="bibr">Perlin
<italic>et al.</italic>

) to eliminate fungal transcripts, and transcripts predicted to encode <200 amino acids and that lacked PFAM domains were also removed. Read alignment and differential expression analysis of host genes were then evaluated as described for fungal gene expression,
<italic>i.e.</italic>
, RSEM and edgeR were used for gene expression quantification and differential analysis with filtered Trinity transcripts, with a more detailed description provided below.</p>
<p>The available fungal and host genomes [fungal,

<xref rid="bib35" ref-type="bibr">Muyle

)] were used to map the reads from RNA-Seq analysis. The conditions are listed in
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.g3journal.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1534/g3.117.300318/-/DC1/TableS3.docx">Table S3</ext-link>
. A summary of short read alignments for each sample is found in

. From the expression analysis we obtained 3.6 billion Illumina paired-end reads across the 27 sequenced libraries, corresponding to 363.6 Gigabases (Gb) of RNA-seq data that are publicly available in NCBI (BioProject ID: PRJNA246470). On average, for the uninfected male and female samples, 75–76% of the reads were mapped to the
<italic>S. latifolia</italic>
reference genome (Assembly ASM141213v1) and transcriptome (
<xref rid="bib35" ref-type="bibr">Muyle
<italic>et al.</italic>

) (

). On the other hand, for some of the other samples, the low mapping rates of 20–50% were in part due to incomplete transcript information. Further analyzing the data, the unique reads were collapsed using fastx_collapser (
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://pods.iplantcollaborative.org/wiki/display/DEapps/Fastx+Collapser">https://pods.iplantcollaborative.org/wiki/display/DEapps/Fastx+Collapser</ext-link>
) to see what those that have the highest counts represent. The majority were rRNA sequences based on blast similarity. However, the rRNA sequences are not available for
<italic>S. latifolia</italic>
, so an exact measure was not possible. Thus, the number of usable reads was smaller than it might otherwise be. It could also be that these rRNAs are polyadenylated as well (

).</p>
<p>In order to assign function to the
<italic>de novo</italic>
transcripts, a database of nonredundant plant proteins was constructed based on the NCBI nr database. For this process, each of the files from the nr database was downloaded from the NCBI ftp site (
<ext-link ext-link-type="ftp" xlink:href="ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/dbon9/29/2015">ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/dbon9/29/2015</ext-link>
). The GenIdentifier (GI) accessions for plant proteins were downloaded from the NCBI protein database (
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein</ext-link>
) in the following manner. First the query ((all [filter])) AND “green plants”[porgn:__txid33090] was used to return all green plant proteins (5,821,183 such sequences). The GIs for each of these sequences were then downloaded using the “Send To” link with the options Destination “File” and Format “GI List.” The resulting file was stored as sequence.gi.txt. The NCBI blast executable was downloaded from
<ext-link ext-link-type="ftp" xlink:href="ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/executables/blast+/2.2.31/ncbi-">ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/executables/blast+/2.2.31/ncbi-</ext-link>
blast-2.2.31+-win64.exe. Then the downloaded nr database was filtered for only the GIs in the sequence.gi.txt using the custom script to run blastdbcmd.</p>
<p>A total of 583 plant_.faa files result. These were then concatenated together into a single file ALLPLANTSEQ.faa. Many of the headers contain redundant headers for the exact same sequence. Therefore, redundant headers were removed using a custom script. Using the nonredundant ALLPLANTSEQ.faa, a blastable database was constructed using the command Makeblastdb.</p>
<p>The Trinity contigs were then compared against the database of known plant sequences into an XML output for use by blast2go (
<xref rid="bib14" ref-type="bibr">Gotz
<italic>et al.</italic>
2008</xref>
) using the command: blastx -db PLANT_NR_UPDATED -query Mvio_trinity_filtered.fas \–evalue 0.001 -outfmt 5 - max_target_sequations 20 -out blastALL.xml.</p>
<p>The raw fasta file Mvio_trinity_filtered.fas (which contains 77,520 different contigs) was uploaded into Blast2go basic v4.0.7 (downloaded from
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://www.blast2go.com">https://www.blast2go.com</ext-link>
) to add annotations. Annotations from the file blastALL.xml were added to the blast2go project using the File… Load… Load Blast Results.</p>
<p>Annotations were then exported as an .annot file within blast2go. For each of 48 comparisons, significantly DEGs were determined using custom scripts. A
<italic>q</italic>
value cutoff of 0.05 was used as significant measures. The number of significant host DEGs is shown in
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.g3journal.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1534/g3.117.300318/-/DC1/TableS3.docx">Table S3</ext-link>
. The top five up-regulated and top five down-regulated DEGs in each comparison were extracted. A counts matrix for each of these genes was constructed, and a heatmap was drawn to show the log

of the edgeR normalized raw expression values across all samples (

) included those where the fungal transition from biotrophic dikaryotic “migrant” shifted to entering the floral meristem, and into the androecium where continued dikarya development replaced pollen with teliospores, or into the female where the fungal cells have the additional task of reprogramming development of the gynoecium into an androecium. Thus, to capture changes in gene expression during fungal morphological transformation we targeted analyses on the early stages of floral development. Analysis of the fungal transcriptomes in the different sexes of host plants may provide additional insights as to adaptations of the fungus to accommodate the different milieus where its development must occur. To best capture this process, RNA-Seq of male or female infected floral stems; male infected bud stages 8, 9, and 10; female infected bud stages 7, 9, and 10; and male and female infected late-stage opened bud; as well as male and female uninfected buds were analyzed and compared.

Mating of haploid sporidial cells occurs outside the plant and is a prerequisite for infection and the remaining downstream events; thus, mating serves as one of the last stages before plant penetration. This provides the opportunity to make all other comparisons for expression among the postmating stages (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>
) after infection. Comparison of infected male stages with mated cells indicated a total of 1645 (22.3%) and 1756 (23.8%) fungal genes were significantly up- and down-regulated (FDR <1E−5), respectively (

). About 30% of both groups applied to all the floral stages (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>
). When infected male stages were compared to male infected floral stems, the largest group of genes either up- (

) or down-regulated (

) were those shared among all three discrete bud stages (8, 9, and 10) and late-stage infected buds (

). Similarly, the next largest group of genes found to be in common was specifically for genes up-regulated or down-regulated among the discrete bud stages for infected males, with Stage 10 providing the largest overlap with the late infected samples.</p>

). About 30% of the up-regulated and 23.5% of the down-regulated group of genes applied to all the floral stages. When comparing these stages with female infected floral stems, only 83 and 155 genes were up- and down-regulated, respectively (

). Most of the changes (71 and 80% up- and down-regulated, respectively) were exclusively in the late infected samples. However, this result needs to be interpreted with caution as there was only one sample for each of Stages 7, 9, and 10 female infected floral buds. This may have reduced the sensitivity and reproducibility in picking up slightly differentially regulated genes.</p>

<p>Due to limited female infected sample size (both in terms of biological replicates and stages), we performed a combined analysis in an attempt to detect additional differentially regulated fungal genes. Based on edgeR smear plots of Log2 fold change against average Log2 counts per million for male against female at each stage, floral stem, 7, 9, 10, and Late, respectively (not shown), only a limited number of genes were differentially regulated, compared to each corresponding infected male stage. Hence, samples were combined stage-wise for further comparison, as male and female effects were not substantial. For convenience of analysis, infected female Stage 7 was grouped with infected female Stage 8 as the same condition, since they were of the same size buds. The remaining infected female samples were grouped with the corresponding infected male samples. An additional 58 (18.4%) and 61 (12.8%) genes were found to be up- and down-regulated, respectively, when the male and female samples were combined for each stage (

<p>Fungal gene set enrichments that were detected only in the infected male were Nucleosome Assembly (GO:0006334) and Response to Stress (GO:0006950), while the fungus in female plants had enrichment for Oligopeptide transporters (PF3169) and glyoxal oxidase N-terminus (PF07250) in the early stages and Peptidase S8 (PF00082) and domains of unknown function (PF09118 and PF06280) in the later stages (

). Multicopper oxidases were detected in the combined analysis, identifying three genes (MVLG_01868, 02184, and 03092). Upon examination of the normalized counts as listed in
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.g3journal.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1534/g3.117.300318/-/DC1/TableS6.docx">Table S6</ext-link>
, we discovered that for these three genes, they were also high in female, but since there was only one biological replicate for most stages in female, differential expression likely did not have the same sensitivity. This observation highlighted the importance of analyzing the combined data, and also emphasized the need for reliable biological replicates for optimal analysis of the gene expression data.</p>
<p>In contrast, among the genes down-regulated during infection, the gene sets related to peptidases and transporters were significantly enriched (
<xref ref-type="table" rid="t2">Table 2</xref>
). One of the identified domains of interest was the secretory lipase domain (PF03583), a gene family expanded in
<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
compared to related species (
<xref rid="bib37" ref-type="bibr">Perlin
<italic>et al.</italic>
2015</xref>
). Genes with this domain were found to be significantly up-regulated in mating cells exposed to phytol (
<xref rid="bib37" ref-type="bibr">Perlin
<italic>et al.</italic>
2015</xref>
;
<xref rid="bib46" ref-type="bibr">Toh
<italic>et al.</italic>

). By contrast, these genes appear down-regulated in fungus infecting plants, suggesting that these proteins have specific functions right after mating, supporting our initial hypothesis that they may be directly involved in hyphae formation, as in the response elicited by exposure to phytol.</p>
<p>The most prominent up-regulated fungal gene set enrichments in plants were the SSPs, SPs, and proteins unique to
<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
or
<italic>Microbotryum</italic>
species (
<xref rid="bib37" ref-type="bibr">Perlin
<italic>et al.</italic>

). We extracted the list of these proteins that contributed to common enrichment in both infected male (MI) and infected female (FI) at each specific stage in the analysis and checked whether they were up-regulated in all stages or only in discrete stages.
<xref ref-type="table" rid="t3">Table 3</xref>
lists the number of common genes found across all plant stages and the number of unique genes specific to discrete stages. For secreted proteins and unique proteins, there appeared to be a large group used exclusively in the infected male and female late stages (numbers are found in parentheses). This may suggest that the formation of teliospores involves more secreted proteins and unique proteins than other stages. Consistent with this, there are not as many gene sets pertaining to known domains found in the late stage (
<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>
). This is significant since there were many genes that were up-regulated in the late stage and yet few gene sets were identified (

<p>SSPs, SPs, and unique proteins that contribute to the enrichment in each sex at each stage were compared (

). Almost all the SSPs (85.3% in common) and SPs (79.5% in common) were the same in each stage, though the proportion of SPs found up-regulated in female only (20.4% of all SPs) was higher than in male plants (4%). Similarly, the Unique (to
<italic>Microbotryum</italic>
) proteins in male plants tended to be a more limited group.</p>
<p>To elucidate potential roles in mating and in teliosporogenesis for some of the same genes, we compared (
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.g3journal.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1534/g3.117.300318/-/DC1/FigureS13.tif">Figure S13</ext-link>
) the list of SSPs, SPs, and Unique proteins found up-regulated in plants (all
<italic>in planta</italic>
stages) to those up-regulated in
<italic>in vitro</italic>
stages (mated cells exposed to phytol for 12–48 hr; those up-regulated in Mated and Nutrient-limited,
<italic>i.e.</italic>
, haploid under conditions conducive for mating) when normalized against p1A1 Rich (p1A1 strain on YPD medium) (
<xref rid="bib46" ref-type="bibr">Toh
<italic>et al.</italic>

).</p>
<p>It appeared that the SSPs involved in Mated and Nutrient-limited samples were also expressed either in phytol-treated mated cell samples or
<italic>in planta</italic>
(
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.g3journal.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1534/g3.117.300318/-/DC1/TableS5.xlsx">Table S5</ext-link>
). While the level of expression may be very different, it is noteworthy that all the SSPs available for subsequent development, whether during hyphae production or for teliosporogenesis, were activated once the environment was conducive for mating. It is tempting to suggest that deficiency in these genes may have a profound impact on the ability of the fungal cells to complete their sexual life cycle.</p>
<p>There was a larger group of SPs (32.3%) and unique proteins (47.1%) expressed exclusively in Mated and Nutrient-limited samples than in phytol-treated mated cells or in the host plants. This supports the hypothesis that the mating system of
<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
is associated with many proteins of unknown function. Expression in host plants was more similar to phytol-treated mated cells than with Mated and Nutrient-limited samples in all three categories (
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.g3journal.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1534/g3.117.300318/-/DC1/FigureS13.tif">Figure S13</ext-link>
), suggesting that treatment with phytol was probably a close approximation of dikaryon extension induced in the host plants, rather than a different response mechanism.</p>

<title>Gene set enrichment between stages</title>
<p>To capture codevelopmental stages of fungal infection during floral development, we applied the GSEA Preranked analysis and found significant enrichment of gene sets among the down-regulated genes in the infected male late stage when compared to earlier floral stages (
<xref ref-type="table" rid="t4">Table 4</xref>
). Down-regulation of functions related to active cellular growth as an enriched group during development was noted (
<italic>e.g.</italic>
, KO04141; GO:0003677; GO:0005737; PF07724.7; PF00004.22; PF00158.19; GO:0006334; GO:0000786; PF00125.17). This supports the idea that late in floral developmental, pathogen teliosporogenesis is nearly complete. Consistent with this notion, enrichment was more notable in Stage 10 and compared to late stage (
<xref ref-type="table" rid="t4">Table 4</xref>
) suggesting that cellular activities were the strongest at Stage 10 and then decreased at the late stage after teliospore development was completed. The most significant gene set enrichments in all infected developmental stages compared with Mated
<italic>in vitro</italic>
sample,
<italic>i.e.</italic>
, those ranked by GSEA nonparametrically, were SSPs, SPs, glycosyl hydrolase family 28, oligopeptide transporter family, and heat shock protein 20. Previously, the
<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
genome was reported to be enriched in the number of glycosyl hydrolase genes compared to related species (
<xref rid="bib37" ref-type="bibr">Perlin
<italic>et al.</italic>
2015</xref>
). It is therefore noteworthy that through the analysis presented here, glycosyl hydrolase family 28 is the only glycosyl hydrolase family identified in these enrichments; it thus may be the single most important hydrolase family for teliosporogenesis and requires strict regulation. This family was down-regulated in Mated cells in comparison with infected female Stages 9 and 10, infected male Stage 8, and the combined infected male and female Stage 8, while being down-regulated in the combined infected male and female late stage relative to the corresponding combined infected floral stem.</p>

<p>This is the first transcriptome analysis of the early floral development stages of
<italic>S. latifolia</italic>
infected with
<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
and provides a global picture of changes in gene expression of the fungal pathogen and plant host during development of the pathogenic process. These analyses also revealed host genes that were differentially expressed in infected
<italic>vs.</italic>
uninfected males as well as for infected
<italic>vs.</italic>
uninfected females. We also examined how fungal gene expression differed between infected male and infected female host plants.</p>
<p>We found that many of the fungal genes differentially regulated in teliosporogenesis may be SSPs, SPs, and proteins unique to
<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
or to
<italic>Microbotryum</italic>
species in general. The majority of these do not have functional domains that can suggest a specific mechanism but nonetheless provide novel targets to explore this interesting process. Given that this phytopathogen system coevolves with its hosts, particularly to the extent of having a narrow host range (
<xref rid="bib28" ref-type="bibr">Le Gac
<italic>et al.</italic>
2007a</xref>
), it is not unexpected that the genes that are involved in the interaction with its host may be novel compared with other phytopathogen systems (
<xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">Gowda
<italic>et al.</italic>
2007</xref>
). In fact, despite reports of local maladaptation of
<italic>Microbotryum</italic>
species (
<xref rid="bib21" ref-type="bibr">Kaltz and Shykoff 1998</xref>
;
<xref rid="bib22" ref-type="bibr">Kaltz
<italic>et al.</italic>
1999</xref>
), possibly due to reduced migration of the fungus and a selfing breeding system (compared with outcrossing of the host), more recent studies using more comprehensive collections of host–pathogen samples indeed suggest a strong phylogeographic costructure for this pathosystem (
<xref rid="bib10" ref-type="bibr">Feurtey
<italic>et al.</italic>
2016</xref>
).</p>
<p>Enrichment of SSPs and SPs in the down-regulated genes of late-stage development suggests that these were more important in the earlier stages of codevelopment. There was almost no other enrichment found in the comparison of other stages. In the original literature examining the codevelopment of
<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
with
<italic>S. latifolia</italic>
(
<xref rid="bib47" ref-type="bibr">Uchida
<italic>et al.</italic>
2003</xref>
) by electron microscopy, teliospores start appearing at Stage 9, while hyphae were still present. Hence, the change may be subtle and asynchronous and therefore require more precise selection of samples and may be marked by only relatively small changes in gene expression. Such adjustment was used in a study of rice and blast fungus (
<xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">Kawahara
<italic>et al.</italic>
2012</xref>
), where an FDR of 10
<sup>−3</sup>
was used initially. For the pathogenesis-related protein PR1 to be detected as differentially expressed, an FDR of 10
<sup>−2</sup>
was required. Since fungal cells represent only a very small portion of the total tissue in the early stages of development, compared to the amount of plant tissue, more biological replicates would facilitate detection of such small changes in gene expression.</p>
<p>In previous transcriptome analyses of the
<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae–S. latifolia</italic>
interaction,
<xref rid="bib51" ref-type="bibr">Zemp
<italic>et al.</italic>
(2015)</xref>
found that the majority of changes in the host transcriptome affect genes with male-biased expression in healthy plants. In females, these same genes are up-regulated. In contrast, infected males showed down-regulation of these genes, leading to a demasculinization of the transcriptome. Genes with female-biased expression in healthy plants were also affected in opposite directions in the two sexes, but to a lesser extent. These genes were overall down-regulated in females and up-regulated in males, causing a defeminization in infected females and a feminization of the transcriptome in infected males. Their results revealed strong sex-specific responses to pathogen infection in a dioecious plant (
<xref rid="bib51" ref-type="bibr">Zemp
<italic>et al.</italic>
2015</xref>
).</p>
<p>Of note,
<xref rid="bib51" ref-type="bibr">Zemp
<italic>et al.</italic>
(2015)</xref>
(see their
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.g3journal.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1534/g3.117.300318/-/DC1/TableS5.xlsx">Table S5</ext-link>
) identified a number of enriched and underrepresented gene categories that were up-regulated or down-regulated; these gene categories were located on both non-sex-linked and sex-linked contigs. Several of these were categories identified for the hosts in our study as well.</p>
<p>For example, the current study indicates that in infected females, the categories of enrichment for non-sex-linked GO terms included extracellular region (GO:0005576), transporter activity (GO:0005215), and transport (GO:0006810); however, the only sex-linked category overrepresented in the earlier study (
<xref rid="bib51" ref-type="bibr">Zemp
<italic>et al.</italic>
2015</xref>
) that was also found in our study was that of catalytic activity (GO:0003824). Under-represented categories in the current study found in common with the Zemp
<italic>et al.</italic>
study were DNA Metabolic Process (GO:0006259) and kinase activity (GO:0016301). Gene categories that were enriched in infected males in common to both studies were Response to Biotic Stimulus (GO:0009607), Extracellular Region (0005576), Kinase Activity (GO:0016301), and, interestingly, Defense Response (GO:0006952); in contrast, DNA Metabolic Process (GO:0006259) and Translation (GO:0006412) were underrepresented. The categories enriched in the group that was down-regulated were Extracellular Region (GO:0005576) and Transporter Activity (GO:0005215); as seen previously, Translation (GO:0006412) was underrepresented. However, in contrast with what was seen in the up-regulated group, Kinase activity (GO:0016301) was underrepresented here.</p>
<p>Surprisingly,
<xref rid="bib51" ref-type="bibr">Zemp
<italic>et al.</italic>
(2015)</xref>
found that Defense-Related genes were enriched in infected males but not in the females. The authors cautioned against interpretation of the GO enrichment since defense-related genes tend to evolve quickly with the pathogen and, thus, may not be detectable using means of established databases and signature sequences. The fact that only 26.63% for non-sex-linked to 57.30% of sex-linked contigs were annotated by the GO terms attest to this caveat of the analysis. Our analyses of discrete stages of infected flowers also revealed that later stages of infection in females (
<italic>e.g.</italic>
, FI9
<italic>vs.</italic>
FI8 and FI10
<italic>vs.</italic>
FI8) were associated with up-regulation of gene categories associated with Stress Response, Transposable Element Activity, and also Defense Response.</p>
<p>Altered gene expression of pathogens and manipulation of their hosts are cornerstones of host/pathogen interactions. We have identified fungal changes in gene expression in the later stages of the pathogen lifecycle
<italic>in planta</italic>
. These include a variety of enriched gene categories that reflect the pathogen’s actions to manipulate the host via both potential effectors (SSPs) and virulence factors (
<italic>e.g.</italic>
, glycosyl hydrolase family 28, pectinesterases, glyoxal oxidase producing H
<sub>2</sub>
O
<sub>2</sub>
). The expression of these factors progressed differentially in parallel with bud development, with SSPs being down-regulated in the later bud stages (
<italic>i.e.</italic>
, infected male Stage10
<italic>vs.</italic>
infected male Stage 8).
<xref rid="bib2" ref-type="bibr">Badouin
<italic>et al.</italic>
(2017)</xref>
identified genes in
<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
and
<italic>M. silenes-dioicae</italic>
apparently under positive selection, as evidenced by selective sweeps. This group of genes included those predicted to encode proteins with CFEM domains (PF05730.4) known to play a role in pathogenesis in other fungal systems, as well as those with MFS (PF07690.9), sugar transporter (PF00083.17), OPT (PF03169.8), Cu-oxidase (PF07732), and aspartyl protease (PF00026) domains. In many cases in our study, these
<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
genes were preferentially expressed
<italic>in planta</italic>
and/or at specific bud Stages of infected male plants, although only three of the genes identified in selective sweeps were predicted to encode secreted proteins (CFEM: MVLG_00859, Cu-oxidase: MVLG_02184, and aspartyl protease: MVLG_04416). By way of comparison with another biotrophic pathogen, the rust pathogen
<italic>Melampsora larici-populina</italic>
and its interaction with poplar (
<xref rid="bib38" ref-type="bibr">Petre
<italic>et al.</italic>
2012</xref>
), a similar study identified 19 pathogen transcripts encoding early-expressed SSPs representing candidate effectors, as well as a poplar transcript encoding a sulfate transporter showing a dramatic increase upon colonization by either virulent or avirulent
<italic>M. larici-populina</italic>
strains. Similarly, a pathogen/host transcriptome analysis for the hemibiotroph blast fungus
<italic>M. oryzae</italic>
and its rice host (
<xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">Kawahara
<italic>et al.</italic>
2012</xref>
) found up-regulation of 240 fungal putative secreted proteins, suggesting that these candidate fungal effector genes may play important roles in initial infection processes. As in our study, among the putative effectors were glycosyl hydrolases, but also found were cutinases and LysM domain-containing proteins; the rice host showed up-regulation of pathogenesis-related and phytoalexin biosynthetic genes. Consistent with these findings, comparisons of different fungal life strategies (
<xref rid="bib32" ref-type="bibr">Lowe
<italic>et al.</italic>
2014</xref>
) have found that host responses to two different
<italic>Leptosphaeria</italic>
species during the first 7 d of infection differed based on whether the pathogen was a necrotroph (
<italic>e.g.</italic>
,
<italic>L. biglobosa ’canadensis</italic>
’) or a hemibiotroph (
<italic>e.g.</italic>
,
<italic>L. maculans ’brassicae</italic>
’). While the necrotroph expressed more genes for cell wall degrading enzymes than the hemibiotroph, the latter expressed many genes in the Carbohydrate Binding Module class of CAZy, particularly CBM50 genes, with potential roles in the evasion of basal innate immunity in the host plant. The host response to necrotroph infection was activation of the jasmonic acid and salicylic acid defense pathways, while infection with the hemibiotroph triggered a high level of expression of isochorismate synthase 1, a reporter for salicylic acid signaling. In the context of this discussion, comparison in our study of host and pathogen gene expression in the
<italic>M. lychnidis-dioicae</italic>
/
<italic>S. latifolia</italic>
interaction during later bud Stages revealed a period of apparent mutual stress, where host stress and defense responses to fungal virulence factors were accompanied by evidence of fungal stress (
<italic>e.g.</italic>
, enrichment of PF00012.13|HSP70 and GO:0006950|Response to Stress). In parallel, the host transcriptome was altered by fungal infection and, in these critical stages of flower bud development, there is evidence that the female, the less-preferred host for this parasite, shows additional signs of stress and attempts at mounting a defense response. These results begin to provide a more complete picture of the interaction and suggests directions for future investigations of this fascinating model system.</p>
