Characterisation of Rhizoctonia solani isolates causing root canker of lucerne in Australia

The fungus causing Rhizoctonia root canker of lucerne in western Queensland has been characterised as a new subgroup within anastomosis group (AG 6) of Rhizoctonia solani. Isolates from two sites showed identical rDNA ITS sequence homology but could be differentiated based on DNA fingerprints. The lucerne isolates did not cause disease on wheat, indicating they are genetically different from the AG 6 subgroup that causes crater disease on wheat in South Africa. Root canker symptoms were produced on all commercial Australian cultivars of lucerne tested.

Flotillins and the PHB domain protein family: Rafts, worms and anaesthetics

While our understanding of lipid microdomains has advanced in recent years, many aspects of their formation and dynamics are still unclear. In particular, the molecular determinants that facilitate the partitioning of integral membrane proteins into lipid raft domains are yet to be clarified. This review focuses on a family of raft-associated integral membrane proteins, termed flotillins, which belongs to a larger class of integral membrane proteins that carry an evolutionarily conserved domain called the prohibitin homology (PHB) domain. A number of studies now suggest that eucaryotic proteins carrying this domain have affinity for lipid raft domains. The PHB domain is carried by a diverse array of proteins including stomatin, podocin, the archetypal PHB protein, prohibitin, lower eucaryotic proteins such as the Dictyostelium discoideum proteins vacuolin A and vacuolin B and the Caenorhabditis elegans proteins unc-1, unc-24 and mec-2. The presence of this domain in some procaryotic proteins suggests that the PHB domain may constitute a primordial lipid recognition motif. Recent work has provided new insights into the trafficking and targeting of flotillin and other PHB domain proteins. While the function of this large family of proteins remains unclear, studies of the C. elegans PHB proteins suggest possible links to a class of volatile anaesthetics raising the possibility that these lipophilic agents could influence lipid raft domains. This review will discuss recent insights into the cell biology of flotillins and the large family of evolutionarily conserved PHB domain proteins.

First report of Tubercularia lateritia as the causal agent of canker on macadamia

Tubercularia lateritia was recorded for the first time as causing canker, characterised by a sunken centre surrounded by galls or callus, on macadamia. The fungus was isolated and inoculated on young macadamia trees in the glasshouse and produced characteristic disease symptoms from which the fungus was successfully reisolated.
