Problems solved by technology

The biggest problem caused by the use of fungicides is the increasing resistance of Botrytis cinerea. At present, a considerable part of the fungal population is resistant to fungicides. This multi-drug resistance is mainly caused by the increased expression of ABC transporter genes. (Leroch,M.,Kretschmer,M.and Hahn,M.(2011)Fungicide resistance phenotypes of Botrytiscinerea isolates from commercial vineyards in South WestGermany.J.Phytopathol.159,63–65.)

Embodiment 1

[0027] Example 1 Construction and gene complementation of the sulfur-metabolism-deficient strains ΔBcmet3 and ΔBcmet16 of Botrytis cinerea

[0028] 1.1 Knockout vector construction

[0029] Bcmet3 gene (nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1) and Bcmet16 gene (nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2) are two key genes on the pathway of Botrytis cinerea assimilating external inorganic sulfur (sulfate ion) In this experiment, these two genes were silenced to explore the effect of sulfur assimilation on the fungus infecting fruit.

[0030] In this case, a transformation fragment was constructed by homologous recombination, and hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPH) was used as a selection marker. like figure 1 As shown, taking the Bcmet3 (Bcmet16) gene as an example, first, utilize the primer pair P1 / P2 and P3 / P4 to amplify from the wild-type strain B05. ) side fragment (see Table 1 for primers). Subsequently, a 1764 bp HPH cassette (hygromycin B resistant) containing the t...

Embodiment 2

[0040] Example 2 ΔBcmet3 and ΔBcmet16 Botrytis cinerea to spore germination and hyphal growth

[0041] 2.1 Experimental materials

[0042] 1) Pathogens tested: Botrytis cinerea (B05.10) was preserved and used in our laboratory, ΔBcmet3 and ΔBcmet16 were obtained from Example 1, and were cultured with PDA. The spores used in this case were cultivated on PDA medium within four generations .

[0043] 2) Test agent: PDB medium (potato dextrose broth medium, American BD company)

[0044] 2.2 Experimental method

[0045] Use a scraper to scrape mature fresh plate spores (cultured in PDA medium for 10-12 days), then rinse with 2 mL of 0.01% Triton X-100 sterile aqueous solution, pour the washed spore liquid into a 15 mL centrifuge tube, and repeat Rinse twice, pour all the obtained bacterial solution into a centrifuge tube, vortex and shake at 26°C for 5 minutes, filter with absorbent cotton to obtain a spore suspension, use a hemocytometer to count gray mold spores, and dilute to...

Embodiment 3

[0053] Example 3 Experiment of ΔBcmet3 and ΔBcmet16 Botrytis cinerea infecting fruit

[0054] 3.1 Experimental materials

[0055] Tomato fruit, cherry tomato "New Sun" (Solanum lycopersicum L.cv XinTaiyang), was freshly picked in the local field, 80% ripe, moved to the laboratory within 3 hours after picking, the fruit was soaked in 0.5% sodium hypochlorite for 4 minutes to sterilize the surface, and then Soak it in clean water for 2 minutes, wash it twice, and let it dry in the natural wind before use.

[0056] Gray mold strain (Botrytis cinerea, B05.10) was preserved and used by our laboratory, and cultivated with PDA.

[0057] 3.2 Botrytis infestation of tomato fruit

[0058] Wild type Botrytis cinerea B05.10 (WT) was cultured with PDA medium for 10-12 days to produce spores.

[0059] The change of pathogenicity of mutant strains was evaluated by fruit inoculation method. Botrytis cinerea spores were scraped off, eluted with Triton X-100 sterile aqueous solution and fil...

Abstract

The invention discloses Botrytis cinerea genes Bcmet3 and Bcmet16 related to pathogenicity and application thereof in prevention and treatment of Botrytis cinerea and belongs to the technical field ofagricultural prevention and treatment. The research shows for the first time that the Bcmet3 and the Bcmet16 are important genes influencing the pathogenicity of the Botrytis cinerea, and the infection ability of the Botrytis cinerea can be remarkably reduced by knocking out the two genes. The Bcmet3 gene and the Bcmet16 gene can be used as targets to be applied to design and screening of anti-Botrytis cinerea agents or other treatment, and provide a new choice for development of novel bactericides.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural control, in particular to a method for preventing and controlling Botrytis cinerea from infecting fruit by knocking out the Bcmet3 gene or the Bcmet16 gene. Background technique [0002] Botrytis cinerea is a typical lethal pathogen. After it invades the host, it triggers the programmed death of host cells, and the fruit infected by Botrytis cinerea will obviously rot. Botrytis cinerea can infect more than 200 kinds of plants. Strawberries, tomatoes, grapes, and vegetables are the most destructive to mature or senescent tissues of dicot hosts. When the physiology of the host changes and the environment is not conducive to the germination and growth of Botrytis cinerea, the fungus can remain static for a long time before the tissue rots. Therefore, the infection of Botrytis cinerea can occur from the seedling stage to the mature product. , after a seemingly healthy crop has been harvested, se...
