Here we investigate whether and how the phytopathogenic fungus Leptosphaeria maculans biosynthesizes auxins. We characterized the auxin profile of invitro grown L.maculans. The culture was further supplied with the auxin biosynthetic-precursors tryptophan and tryptamine and gene expression and phytohormone content was analyzed. L.maculans invitro produced IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) as the predominant auxin metabolite. IAA production could be further stimulated by supplying precursors. Expression of indole-3-pyruvate decarboxylase LmIPDC2, tryptophan aminotransferase LmTAM1 and nitrilase LmNIT1 genes was mainly upregulated after adding tryptophan and correlated with IAA production, suggesting that these genes are the key components of auxin biosynthesis in L.maculans. Tryptamine acted as a potent inducer of IAA production, though a pathway independent of LmIPDC2/LmTAM1 may be involved. Despite L.maculans being a rich source of bioactive IAA, the auxin metabolic profile of host plant Brassica napus was not altered upon infection. Exogenous IAA inhibited the growth of L.maculans invitro when supplied in high concentration. Altogether, we showed that L.maculans is capable of IAA production and we have identified biosynthetic genes that were responsive to tryptophan treatment.
