摘要:

【目的】叶斑病是限制蚕豆生产的一种新型真菌病害,交链格孢(Alternaria alternata)是其主要病原菌之一。本研究通过转录组分析和抗病基因功能验证,探讨蚕豆响应交链格孢侵染的分子途径。【方法】以蚕豆品种CD-006为试验材料,对接种交链格孢后0、6、12和24 h的蚕豆叶片进行转录组测序,筛选差异表达基因(differentially expressed gene,DEG),并对其进行GO(gene ontology)功能注释和KEGG(Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes)代谢通路富集分析,从而挖掘抗病相关基因。采用qRT-PCR(quantitative real-time PCR)验证转录组测序结果,从中筛选出VfPR4进行烟草的遗传转化,并通过有伤接种法完成VfPR4的抗病功能分析。【结果】侵染后6、12和24 h,蚕豆中分别有3 537、3 152和2 947个差异基因上调表达,分别有1 181、1 453和1 319个差异基因下调表达。GO分析发现差异基因主要富集于氧化还原酶活性和一些生物合成(代谢)过程,KEGG分析发现差异基因主要富集于次生代谢物的生物合成、苯丙烷生物合成、类黄酮生物合成等途径。侵染后6 h,KEGG还富集于MAPK信号途径和植物-病原菌互作途径,这2条抗病通路共同富集了32个差异基因。转录组分析发现52个PR,其中35个基因差异表达。选取6个差异基因进行qRT-PCR验证,验证结果与转录组测序结果一致,其中VfPR4在交链格孢侵染后24 h内持续上调表达。烟草遗传转化结果表明,转基因烟草的病斑症状较轻,病斑面积分别为128.94、110.57和92.92 mm2,明显小于野生型病斑面积(174.32 mm2)。【结论】通过转录组分析,发现蚕豆可能主要通过氧化爆发、次生代谢物生物合成、苯丙烷生物合成、MAPK信号途径和植物-病原菌互作等途径响应交链格孢的侵染。VfPR4能够正向调控烟草对交链格孢的抗性。

Abstract:

【Objective】Leaf spot is a new type of fungal disease that restricts the production of broad beans, and Alternaria alternata is one of its main pathogens. The objective of this study is to explore the molecular pathways of broad beans in response to the infection of A. alternata through transcriptome analysis and disease resistant gene function verification. 【Method】Broad bean cultivar CD-006 was used as the experimental material, transcriptome sequencing was performed on the leaves inoculated with A. alternata at 0, 6, 12 and 24 h to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs). GO (gene ontology) functional annotation and KEGG (Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes) metabolic pathway enrichment analysis were conducted to excavate disease resistance related genes. qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time PCR) was conducted to validate transcriptome sequencing results, and VfPR4 was screened for genetic transformation in tobacco. To complete disease resistance function analysis of VfPR4, invasive inoculation method was used. 【Result】At 6, 12 and 24 h after infection, 3 537, 3 152 and 2 947 DEGs were up-regulated in broad beans, while 1 181, 1 453 and 1 319 DEGs were down-regulated. GO enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs were mainly enriched in oxidoreductase activity and some biosynthetic (metabolic) processes, and KEGG enrichment analysis found that DEGs were mainly enriched in pathways such as biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, and flavonoid biosynthesis. At 6 h after infection, KEGG was also enriched in MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) signaling pathway and plant-pathogen interaction pathway, which together enriched 32 DEGs. A total of 52 PR genes were discovered in transcriptome analysis, among which 35 genes were differentially expressed. Six DEGs were selected for qRT-PCR validation, and the validation results were consistent with the transcriptome sequencing results. Among the above genes, the VfPR4 remained up-regulated within 24 h after infection with A. alternata. Tobacco genetic transformation results indicated that the lesion symptoms of transgenic lines were milder, with lesion areas of 128.94, 110.57 and 92.92 mm2, respectively, which were significantly smaller than that of the wild type, with a lesion area of 174.32 mm2. 【Conclusion】In this study, transcriptome analysis revealed that broad beans might mainly respond to the infection of A. alternata through pathways including oxidative burst, secondary metabolites biosynthesis, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, MAPK signaling, and plant-pathogen interaction. VfPR4 could positively regulate tobacco’s resistance to A. alternata.
