摘要
由葡萄座腔菌(Botryosphaeria dothidea)引起的苹果轮纹病是影响我国苹果安全生产的重大病害之一。因此,本研究基于受苹果轮纹菌侵染的苹果组织中果胶裂解酶基因Bdpl1表达上调这一现象,通过Split-marker PCR技术构建Bdpl1基因敲除载体,并通过PEG介导的原生质体转化获得转化子,经常规PCR和qRT-PCR对所获得的转化子进行筛选,成功获得1个Bdpl1基因缺失阳性突变子。该转化子在PDA上的培养基性状与野生型没有明显差异,但在果胶培养基上菌落直径明显小于野生型。其胞外果胶酶活相比野生型明显下降,但在离体"早富"苹果枝条上的致病力并没有明显的下降。通过qRT-PCR技术发现在基因Bdpl1敲除后,其家族内有3个基因在病菌侵染过程中相比野生型明显上调表达(>3倍)。这些现象表明果胶裂解酶基因Bdpl1与病原菌的营养生长过程关系不大,但其参与对寄主果胶类物质的降解。Bdpl1基因对轮纹病菌致病力的影响较小,有可能是Bdpl1基因敲除后,该基因家族内其他基因的上调表达补偿了Bdpl1基因的功能。
Apple ring rot caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea is one of the devastating diseases in China,which has become a major threat to apple production. In preliminary experiments,we found the expression of pectin lyase gene( Bdpl1) was obviously up-regulated in diseased tissues than that in fungal mycelia. Therefore,the Bdpl1 was considered as a virulence gene involved in the pathogenic processes. In order to analyze its pathogenic function,the knockout vector of Bdpl1 was constructed by the split-marker method and the transformants were obtained through PEG-mediated protoplast transformation. One mutant,△Bdpl1-3,was confirmed with four pairs of primers. Compared with the wild-type strain,the △Bdpl1-3 morphology had no significant differences on PDA medium,whereas the colony diameter on pectin medium was much smaller than the wild-type one. The extracellular pectinase activity of the △Bdpl1-3 isolate was lower than the wild type. Nevertheless,pathogenicity of the △Bdpl1-3 isolate on excised one-year-old‘Fuji'apple twigs had no significant differences with the wildtype strain.Relative expression levels of several other pectin lyase( PL) family genes in the △Bdpl1-3 and wildtype strains were detected by qRT-PCR. The results showed that the expression of three other PL family genes were up-regulated( over three folds than the wild-type strain). These data indicated that the Bdpl1 had no obviously effects on fungal growth and pathogenicity,but it had significant acceleration to degrade pectin. In the △Bdpl1-3 strain,other PL family genes might compensate the functions of Bdpl1 by up-regulated expression.
