    Development of molecular markers based on retrotransposons for the analysis of genetic variability in Moniliophthora perniciosa
    (European Journal of Plant Pathology, 2012-11) Santana, Mateus Ferreira; Araújo, Elza Fernandes de; Queiroz, Marisa Vieira de; Souza, Jorge Teodoro de; Mizubuti, Eduardo Seiti Gomide
    Moniliophthora perniciosa is a fungus that causes witches’ broom disease (WBD) in the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao). The M. perniciosa genome contains different transposable elements; this prompted an evaluation of the use of its retrotransposons as molecular markers for population studies. The inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP) and retrotransposon-microsatellite amplified polymorphism (REMAP) techniques were used to study the variability of 70 M. perniciosa isolates from different geographic origins and biotypes. A total of 43 loci was amplified. Cluster analysis of different geographical regions of C biotype revealed two large groups in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Techniques using retrotransposon-based molecular markers showed advantages over previously used molecular techniques for the study of genetic variability in M. perniciosa.

    High genetic variability in endophytic fungi from the genus Diaporthe isolated from common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Brazil
    (Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2015-11-06) Santos, T.T. dos; Souza Leite, T. de; Queiroz, C.B. de; Araújo, E.F. de; Pereira, O.L.; Queiroz, M.V. de
    The goals of the present study were to identify, to analyse the phylogenetic relations and to evaluate the genetic variability in Diaporthe endophytic isolates from common bean. Diaporthe sp., D. infecunda and D. phaseolorum strains were identified using multilocus phylogeny (rDNA ITS region; EF1‐α, β‐tubulin, and calmodulin genes). IRAP (Inter‐Retrotransposon Amplified Polymorphism) and REMAP (Retrotransposon‐Microsatellite Amplified Polymorphism) molecular markers reveal the existence of high genetic variability, especially among D. infecunda isolates. It was concluded that the multilocus phylogenetic approach was more effective than individual analysis of ITS sequences, in identifying the isolates to species level, and that IRAP and REMAP markers can be used for studying the genetic variability in the genus Diaporthe particularly at the intraspecific level. The combined use of molecular tools such as multilocus phylogenetic approach and molecular markers, as performed in this study, is the best way to distinguish endophytic strains of Diaporthe isolated from common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.).

    Development of new molecular markers for the Colletotrichum genus using RetroCl1 sequences
    (World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2011-10-01) Santos, Leandro Vieira dos; Queiroz, Marisa Vieira de; Santana, Mateus Ferreira; Soares, Marcos Antonio; Barros, Everaldo Goncalves de; Araujo, Elza Fernandes de; Langin, Thierry
    A nonautonomous element of 624 bp, called RetroCl1 (Retroelement Colletotrichum lindemuthianum 1), was identified in the plant pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. RetroCl1 contains terminal direct repeats (223 bp) that are surrounded by CTAGT sequences. It has a short internal domain of 178 bp and shows characteristics of terminal-repeat retrotransposon in miniature (TRIM) family. We used RetroCl1 sequence to develop molecular markers for the Colletotrichum genus. IRAP (Inter-Retrotransposon Amplified Polymorphism) and REMAP (Retrotransposon-Microsatellite Amplified Polymorphism) markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity of C. lindemuthianum. Fifty-four isolates belonging to different races were used. A total of 45 loci were amplified. The Nei index showed significant differences among the populations divided according to race, indicating that they are structured according to pathotype. No clear correlation between IRAP and REMAP markers with pathogenic characterization was found. C. lindemuthianum has high genetic diversity, and the analysis of molecular variance showed that 51% of variability is found among the populations of different races. The markers were also tested in different Colletotrichum species. In every case, multiple bands were amplified, indicating that these markers can be successfully used in different species belonging to the Colletotrichum genus.

    Terminal repeat retrotransposons as DNA markers in fungi
    (Journal of Basic Microbiology, 2013-02-26) Santana, Mateus Ferreira; Batista, Aline Duarte; Ribeiro, Lílian Emídio; Araújo, Elza Fernandes de; Queiroz, Marisa Vieira de
    In this study, we demonstrate that ClIRAP primers designed using the transposable element RetroCl1 sequence from Colletotrichum lindemuthianum can be used to generate an efficient IRAP (inter‐retrotransposon amplified polymorphism) molecular marker to study intra‐ and inter‐species diversity in fungi. It has been previously demonstrated that primers generated from this TRIM‐like element can be used in the Colletotrichum species. We now prove that the RetroCl1 sequence can also be used to analyze diversity in different fungi. IRAP profiles were successfully generated for 27 fungi species from 11 different orders, and intra‐species genetic variability was detected in six species. The ClIRAP primers facilitate the use of the IRAP technique for a variety of fungi without prior knowledge of the genome.
