Description

Rice OsGLP8-12 for inhibiting sclerotinia and application thereof

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of plant molecular biology, and particularly relates to OsGLP8-12 for inhibiting sclerotinia and application thereof.

Background

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (s.sclerotiorum) is a saprophytic filamentous fungus with a broad pathogenic range. Sclerotinia can infect more than 500 plants (Liang et al, 2018), including dicotyledonous plants rape, cabbage, etc., with severe losses for our agricultural production (Boland et al, 2009). Disease-resistant breeding has been a major problem in agricultural production due to limitations of conventional breeding approaches themselves. For sclerotinia, a variety of gramineous plants, particularly rice, were identified as non-host plants of sclerotinia for a long time (Purdy, 1979), and a novel disease resistance gene resource is provided for improving sclerotinia resistance of host plants such as rape by utilizing a non-host resistance mechanism of rice-related genes.

Germin was originally found in wheat as a water-soluble glycoprotein that is ubiquitous in exosomes or extracellular matrices. GLPs of plants generally have three roles: true germinating agents (truegerin), plant immune responses, and regulation of plant growth (circadian rhythms, flowering phase) functions, among others (Sawsan et al, 2001). OsGLPs in transgenic rice can enhance resistance to bacterial blight and mycogenic diseases by affecting defense-related genes associated with the JA-dependent pathway while increasing endogenous JA levels (Liu et al, 2016). Recent researchers have found that positive lines show increased salt tolerance to salt, drought and oxidative stress by overstable soybean GmGLP7 in arabidopsis and observing that GLP GmGLP9 significantly increases tolerance to tobacco salt stress (Mo et al, 2010) by being highly sensitive to exogenous ABA (Li et al, 2022).

Test plant material:

the rice material is Hui 10, and is planted in a rice test base of southwest university, and the sclerotinia sclerotiorum wild type strain '1980' is cultured on a PDA culture medium at a temperature of 22 ℃.

The method for inoculating sclerotinia rice comprises the following steps:

seed-rice inoculation of sclerotinia: and cutting out two inverted rice leaves in a rice experimental field to inoculate sclerotinia. The rice leaf incision is covered with moist cotton, and when selecting the punching area, the sclerotinia sclerotiorum mycelium blocks with uniform and vigorous mycelium growth and diameter of 6mm are preferentially selected. During inoculation, the tweezers clamp the mycelium blocks to enable the mycelium surfaces to contact the front surfaces of rice leaves, and the veins are avoided for inoculation. The control group was inoculated with a blank PDA agar block without hyphae, as described above. 22 ℃ for 1-4 d (figure 1).

Transcriptome sequencing and analysis

Post-wounded rice leaves were inoculated with a blank PDA agar block (no control), two sclerotinia strains (1980 and TL), and after removal of the agar block and

hyphal block

12 and 24 hours post-inoculation, a total of 8 samples were sent to Baimichael Biotechnology company for transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq). The sequencing data were compared to a rice reference genome (reference gene source: oryza sativa; reference genome version: IRGSP-1.0; reference genome source: http:// plants. Ensembl. Org/Oryza_sativa/Info/Index; FIG. 2) for analysis of gene expression levels and Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) (FIG. 2), and finally KEGG enrichment analysis was performed on the DEGs. As shown in FIG. 3, inoculated rice was promoted in the biological processes of ndole-containing compound biosynthetic process, tryptophan biosynthetic process, etc., and in the pathways of Glutathione metabolism and Phenylalanine biosynthesis, etc., compared to the uninoculated control. Further, compared with transcriptome data before and after the cabbage is inoculated with sclerotinia, as shown in fig. 4, GLP family genes (plant germination proteins) in rice are subjected to bacteria-induced up-regulation expression, however, the family genes are not significantly up-regulated after the cabbage and other host plants are inoculated, and it is presumed that OsGLP has a certain important contribution to the resistance of sclerotinia, and OsGLP8-12 is used as a candidate gene for subsequent functional verification.
