This invention discloses a pathogenic
gene,
protein, and application of *
Verticillium dahliae*. This invention relates to the field of
biotechnology and provides a method for controlling *
Verticillium dahliae* wilt based on RNAi (
RNA interference), along with its related components and applications. Specifically, it discloses the method of inhibiting or silencing the pathogenic
gene of *
Verticillium dahliae*. VdHDAC The application of the expression method (whose encoded
protein is shown in SEQ ID NO:3) for the prevention and control of
Verticillium wilt relies on providing a class of dsRNA molecules that can target this
gene, with the positive strand preferably selected from SEQ ID NO:5, SEQ ID NO:8, SEQ ID NO:9, or SEQ ID NO:11. Based on this molecule, this invention further provides recombinant vectors containing its coding sequence, recombinant microorganisms, transgenic
disease-resistant plants, and RNAi
pesticide formulations. These methods can be achieved through host-induced
gene silencing,
microorganism-mediated
gene silencing, or formulation treatment, effectively reducing the
virulence of the
pathogen and providing a new technical approach for the green control of
Verticillium wilt.
