Host factors influence the pathogenesis of Tilletia indica: A review

Author(s):

Abstract:
Wheat is a staple food in the world and world trade for wheat is greater than for any other cereal. It is known for its good adaptability to certain regions; however, it is affected by many more diseases such as rust, smut, etc. Similarly, a very important fungal disease is known as Karnal bunts (KB) since it affects the grains and is caused by T. indica. In the severity conditions of pathogenesis, it poses a big hurdle in trade since it changes the palatability of wheat because of the variability of nutritional factors. In the beginning, only infested a few seeds. Therefore it is very interesting here to understand more about the causative factors that play pivotal roles in the diseases either endogenous factors or external factors. However, researchers have shown that the autogenously factors so-called host factors are more prominent for the disease incidence with respect to exogenous factors.
It has been known that the host factors significantly play an important role in different mycelia development. The changes in monsporidial strains of T. indica with molecular signaling which is directly and indirectly related to the pathogenicity in wheat grain in an inductive manner. Here the innermost causative agents are more prevalent which are extracted from wheat spikes and are heat labile for the pathogenesis. It has been also shown that the same endogenous factors increase the mycelination of the fungus. Therefore pathogenesis of T. indica by the interaction of molecular signal (s) with host factors could be a key player for disease incidence in the developing grains, which accelerates the quarantine issue by exporting the wheat from one country to another country. So by this review, one can understand more about the disease occurrence in wheat since it is very one of the most important cereals in the world.
Key Message: Host factors play a pivotal role in the development of Karnal bunt disease in wheat due to the interaction of various molecular signal(s) that leads to an important quarantine issue for exporting wheat from one country to another country caused by the fungus Tilletia indica.
