Transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis of fludioxonil-induced stress response and resistance in the poplar leaf blight fungus (Alternaria alternata)

Abstract

The predominant causal agent of poplar leaf blight is the pathogenic fungus Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissl., which exhibits host specificity toward Populus species. To elucidate the molecular response mechanisms of A. alternata under fludioxonil fungicide stress, the fungus was cultured at the half-maximal effective concentration (EC₅₀) of fludioxonil. Transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles were analyzed using mycelia harvested under these conditions. Comparative analysis revealed 1,001 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the resistant strain (RS) relative to the wild-type strain (WT), comprising 628 upregulated and 373 downregulated genes. Concurrently, 524 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) were identified, with 336 upregulated and 188 downregulated metabolites. KEGG pathway enrichment demonstrated pronounced upregulation in glycerophospholipid metabolism, α-linolenic acid metabolism, nucleic acid biosynthesis, and glycosylation processes. Conversely, arachidonic acid and galactose metabolism pathways were suppressed. Significant downregulation was observed in phosphatidylinositol signaling, aflatoxin biosynthesis, and cutin/suberin/wax biosynthesis pathways. Transcriptomic profiling further indicated that upregulated DEGs were predominantly associated with amino sugar/nucleotide sugar metabolism, ABC transporters, aflatoxin biosynthesis, and purine metabolism, while downregulated DEGs were enriched in N-glycan biosynthesis, endoplasmic reticulum protein processing, steroid biosynthesis, and riboflavin metabolism. Fludioxonil exerted substantial inhibitory effects on fungal growth, pathogenicity, and metabolic activity. Mechanistically, A. alternata counteracted fungicide-induced stress through modulation of its antioxidant defense system. This integrative multi-omics study delineates the dynamic gene expression and metabolic reprogramming in A. alternata under fludioxonil exposure, providing novel insights into potential molecular targets and informing the development of next-generation fungicidal strategies for phytopathogen control.
