Description

Gene for improving resistance of potatoes to late blight and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of plant genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a gene for improving resistance of potatoes to late blight and application thereof.
Background
The country is the first country of potato planting and consumption in the world, and the potato planting history has been 400 years. Late blight of potato caused by phytophthora infestans (Phytophthora infestans) is a destructive disease in potato production, listed as the first disease of world food crops, and has caused irish familiarity in 1845-1850, resulting in death of more than 100 tens of thousands of people. Late blight generally occurs in potato main producing areas in China from the 80 s, the harm is in an ascending trend, the yield loss of potatoes is 10% -30% due to common epidemic years, the serious epidemic years can reach more than 50%, and even the serious epidemic years are out of production. Prevention and control of late blight has become one of the priority targets in potato production and breeding. In China, chemical agents are mainly used for preventing and treating late blight, wherein metalaxyl is most widely applied, and researches prove that the effective prevention and treatment of 99.9% can be realized by using the metalaxyl before the late blight occurs. However, long-term use of single chemical bactericides is prone to cause drug resistance of phytophthora infestans, such as metalaxyl in Shanxi, hebei and other places, and is not suitable for preventing and treating late blight. Cultivation of late blight resistant varieties is one of the main goals of potato breeding.
Mesotrione, a carotenoid synthesis inhibitor, targets p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) to block the synthesis of plastoquinone and tocopherol, thereby blocking the electron transfer process in photosynthesis and finally enabling plants to whiten and die. Carotenoids are mainly terpene pigments containing 40 carbon atoms, of which zeaxanthin is the precursor of abscisic acid. Abscisic acid is an important plant hormone, and not only participates in regulating the growth and development of plants, but also plays an important role in plant response, resistance to biotic stress, abiotic stress and the like. Treatment of potatoes with low concentrations of mesotrione, fludioxonil and the like does not result in crop death but induces salicylic acid signals dependent on antagonism by abscisic acid, activating salicylic acid dependent disease-resistant responses including the StWRKY40 gene (PGSC 0003DMG 402007388) (unpublished results).
The WRKY transcription factor is a plant-specific zinc finger transcription regulator, and the amino terminal of the WRKYGQK transcription factor is a highly conserved WRKYGQK sequence. The DNA binding domain of the WRKY transcription factor specifically binds to the TGAC (C/T) sequence (i.e., the W box) and regulates the expression of multiple plant disease, stress and senescence resistant genes. The WRKY gene is not expressed constitutively, and the expression has the characteristics of rapidness, transience and the like, is induced by pathogenic microorganisms, drought, low temperature, salicylic acid and the like, has tissue specificity and participates in various physiological processes in plants. More than half of the members of the WRKY family in arabidopsis are induced to be expressed by pathogenic microorganisms or salicylic acid treatment, and play an important role in plant disease resistance. For example, the AtWRKY70 gene deletion mutants enhance the resistance of plants to the necrotic nutritional pathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea, whereas the deletion mutants of the WRKY7, WRKY11, WRKY17, WRKY48, WRKY38 and WRKY62 genes, etc., exhibit resistance to Pseudomonas syringae. AtWRKY40 in Arabidopsis is induced to be expressed by pathogenic microorganisms and interacts with AtWRKY18 and AtWRKY60 in plant disease-resistant reaction, wherein AtWRKY40 is a transcription repressor, and AtWRKY18 and AtWRKY60 are transcription activators. Therefore, the forward regulation and control effect of the StWRKY40 gene in the potato late blight resistance stimulated by carotenoid synthesis inhibitors is studied, the molecular mechanism of the transcription factor in the potato late blight resistance is revealed, and the transcription factor has important significance for cultivation of excellent resistant varieties, reasonable utilization of the resistant varieties and durable prevention and treatment of the potato late blight.
Through the above analysis, the problems and defects existing in the prior art are as follows: in China, chemical agents are mainly used for preventing and treating late blight, such as chlorothalonil, copper hydroxide, pyraclostrobin, mancozeb, zineb, mefenoxam, dimethomorph, mandipropamid, azoxystrobin, trifloxystrobin, famoxadone, fluazinam, cyazofamid and the like, wherein the most number of the fluazinam is registered, and then the mancozeb, azoxystrobin and cyazofamid are required to be applied for multiple times in one growing season, so that the cost of application is high, the cost of application is increased, the labor cost is increased inevitably for multiple times, and the phytophthora infestans is easy to generate drug resistance due to unreasonable use of the chemical agents for a long time, so that the drug effect of the bactericide is reduced or even fails. In addition, the irregular use of the chemical agent is easy to bring non-point source pollution, not only affects the soil and water environment, but also reduces the quality of agricultural products. The use of disease-resistant genes to cultivate disease-resistant varieties is the most economical and effective measure for preventing and treating potato late blight, and the cultivation of the disease-resistant varieties becomes one of main targets of potato breeding.

Furthermore, the strong promoter CaMV 35S is used for driving the expression of the gene StWRKY40 in the potato, and the overexpression of the gene can improve the resistance of the potato to late blight.
The gene StWRKY40 has a nucleotide sequence shown as SEQ ID NO:2, silencing the specific gene fragment can reduce the expression level of the gene StWRKY40, and the reduction of the gene can reduce the resistance of potatoes to late blight.
The invention also aims to provide an application of the gene for improving the resistance of the potato to the late blight in the cultivation of the potato anti-late blight variety, and a new disease-resistant transgenic variety is cultivated by improving the disease resistance of the potato and other crops by using the gene.

When the StWRKY40 gene is excessively expressed in a plant body, a series of expression of downstream disease resistance function genes can be activated in a transcription manner, so that a good disease resistance effect is provided for transgenic plants.
Secondly, the invention constructs a vector by using a strong promoter CaMV 35S and a potato StWRKY40 gene, and the StWRKY40 gene is expressed transiently on a potato commercial variety Desiree through agrobacterium GV 3101. The late blight resistance detection shows that compared with a wild type control, the potato material with the transiently over-expressed StWRKY40 gene has obviously enhanced late blight resistance, which indicates that the resistance of the potato to the late blight can be improved by improving the expression of the StWRKY40 gene. The resistance of potato materials with the StWRKY40 gene silenced by using a Virus-mediated gene silencing (Virus-Induced Gene Silencing, VIGS) technology to late blight is obviously weakened, which indicates that the StWRKY40 gene positively regulates the resistance of potatoes to late blight, and the gene can be applied to the genetic engineering improvement of potato late blight resistance.
Thirdly, the expected benefits and commercial value after the technical scheme of the invention is converted are as follows: the invention constructs a vector by using the strong promoter CaMV 35S and the potato StWRKY40 gene, converts the commercial potato variety Desiree with excellent quality and high yield, and internationally obtains the transgenic potato with the over-expressed StWRKY40 gene for the first time.

This example describes the positive detection of potato genetic transformation and transgenic plants.
pCXSN: stWRKY40 transformed Agrobacterium competent cells AGL1. Transformation of potato variety Desiree using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, will be transformed with pCXSN: agrobacterium AGL1 of StWRKY40 was activated on LA solid medium containing antibiotics (Rif 50mg/L and Kan 50 mg/L), cultured at 28℃for 48 hours, and the monoclonal was picked up and cultured in liquid LB medium (additionally, antibiotics Rif 50mg/L and Kan 50 mg/L) for expansion at 28℃for 16 to 18 hours at 200 r/min. When the OD600 value reaches 0.6-0.8, 100 mu L of bacterial liquid is added into 20mL of liquid MS0 culture medium, 21-28 d robust potato Desiree aseptic seedlings are selected, axillary bud-free stem segments (about 0.5cm in length) are cut and placed into agrobacterium suspension, about 30 stem segments are placed into each 20mL of bacterial suspension, the bacterial suspension is mixed on a shaking table at 24 ℃ under the dark condition, the explants are fully contacted with the bacterial liquid, after 20 minutes, the transformation material is taken out, the bacterial liquid on the surface is wiped off by sterilizing filter paper, the bacterial liquid is transferred into a co-culture medium M0, and co-culture is carried out for 3d at 18 ℃ in a dark place; transferring all the co-cultured stem segments to M1 callus differentiation culture medium, placing in artificial climate box at 21+ -1deg.C for 16h/d under 2000lx illumination intensity, selecting stem segments with good callus development after 12d, transferring to M2 differentiation culture medium for selective culture, and transferring 1 time every 14d later; the callus starts to grow regeneration buds when the transfer is about 3 times, and when the seedlings to be regenerated grow to about 2cm high, the seedlings are transferred to a rooting medium MR containing hygromycin and termeiding for rooting screening. When the roots grow well, the top stem segments of the regenerated plants with no obvious difference between the growth state and the non-transgenic plants are taken and transferred to a selective rooting medium again for screening and confirmation (FIG. 7).
Co-acquisition of the trans-pCXSN: stWRKY40 gene plant (T0 generation) 7 plants. Extracting DNA from 7 transgenic plants by adopting a CTAB method, taking the DNA as a template, and utilizing a StWRKY40 gene specific primer F5:5'-GGGAGCACAACCATCCTCAA-3' R5:5'-TGGACAACGAAGACGCCATT-3' PCR detection was performed. The results showed that 3 strains, commonly numbered OE-4, OE-5, OE-7, amplified a StWRKY40 gene-specific fragment of approximately 500bp in length, demonstrating successful transfer of the gene of interest into potato Desiree (FIG. 8).
To further identify the transcript level of the StWRKY40 gene in transgenic positive plants, leaves were collected separately from positive plants and desirees grown for 4 weeks, total RNA was extracted by the TRIZOL method (available from the company of the century biotechnology Co., ltd.) and reverse transcribed into cDNA first strand by the reverse transcriptase MMLV (available from erbtai) under the following reaction conditions: 42 ℃ for 1h;65℃for 20min. Then, using the cDNA as a template and StEF1a as an internal reference gene, (StEF 1a gene amplification primers are F1:5'-CAAGGATGACCCAGCCAAG-3', R1: 5'-TTCCTTACCTGAACGCCTGT-3'), and StWRKY40 gene-specific primers F2:5'-TCATTTGCACCAACATGCCC-3' and R2:5'-ACGAAGACGCCATTTGTTCG-3' real-time quantitative PCR was performed under the following reaction conditions: pre-denaturation at 95℃for 3min;95 ℃ for 10sec;60 ℃,10sec,72 ℃,30sec,40 cycles. As shown in FIG. 9, the transcription level of StWRKY40 gene in the transgenic positive plants reaches about 20-25 times that of the control Desiree, and the target gene StWRKY40 is proved to be over-expressed in the potato Desiree.
Example 5
This example describes resistance of StWRKY40 overexpressing transgenic potatoes to late blight.
Transgenic potato leaves and Desiree leaves with positive detection are respectively inoculated with potato late blight EC1 spore suspension, and kept stand in a 20 ℃ incubator in dark place for 4 days, and phenotypes are observed and the late blight disease indexes are counted. The results showed that transgenic potato leaves were more resistant to disease than control Desiree leaves (FIG. 10), and the disease index was lower than control (FIG. 11).
