Description
Long Lin and co-authors show how a soybean pathogen tunes its genes to attack roots versus leaves. Plant organs differ in cell build, chemistry, and defense, yet one pathogen can colonize many. Gene reads compared the oomycete during root and leaf infection of soybeans. Hundreds of attack genes shifted levels between the two organs.
To find the root switch, the team knocked out root-linked gene regulators. One regulator's loss cut root attack strength but left leaf attack intact. That regulator belongs to a zipper family found only in oomycetes. Over sixty percent of root-linked genes dimmed in its mutants during root attack. Gene control thus drives organ-specific infection in this pathogen.
