Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and relates to a method for detecting plant viruses, and in particular to a method for detecting New Delhi Tomato Leaf Curl Virus in plant leaf samples based on RAA-CRISPR / Cas12a visualization technology. Background Art

[0002] Plant viruses are known as "plant cancers" because of their wide variety, wide distribution, and lack of effective prevention and control methods, which have caused inestimable losses to the yield and quality of global crops. Establishing a convenient and efficient virus detection method is of great significance for curbing the spread of viruses, stabilizing the production quality of crops, and reducing the economic losses caused by viruses. Commonly used virus detection methods can be roughly divided into four types: biological detection methods, electron microscopy detection methods, serological detection methods, and molecular biology detection methods. Although biological detection methods and electron microscopy detection methods are intuitive, they have great limitations, require long detection time, and have great uncertainty, so they are not the mainstream detection methods at present. Serological technology relies on the quality of antibodies, has relatively low detection sensitivity, and is prone to false negatives. Common molecular biology techniques are generally conventional PCR and fluorescence quantitative PCR detection methods, which require expensive instruments such as PCR instruments and gel imaging systems, have high requirements for instruments and technicians, and are difficult to achieve field detection.

[0003] Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV) infects important crops such as Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae and is widely distributed around the world. The main symptoms include leaf curling, internode shortening and plant dwarfing, which seriously affect the growth of crops. In recent years, ToLCNDV has appeared in different regions, causing significant economic losses to the production of crops such as melons and tomatoes, and seriously threatening the planting safety of Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae crops. Since the current prevention and control measures for viral diseases are limited, it is particularly important to strengthen early warning monitoring of ToLCNDV and establish a convenient detection method.

[0004] Since 1990, dozens of isothermal amplification technologies with different amplification mechanisms have been developed, including loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), rolling circle amplification (RCA), recombinase-mediated isothermal amplification (RPA / RAA), etc. RPA (recombinase polymerase amplification) and RAA (recombinase aided amplification) are both technologies that rapidly amplify nucleic acids at a constant temperature by the combined action of recombinase, single-stranded binding protein and DNA polymerase. The difference between the two lies in the source of the recombinase. The recombinase used in RPA is derived from T4 bacteriophage, while that used in RAA is derived from bacteria or fungi. Compared with traditional PCR technology, isothermal amplification technology can greatly reduce dependence on instruments and simplify the steps and time of detection, but it also has limitations such as nonspecific amplification, aerosol contamination and false positives. In recent years, the gene editing tool CRISPR / Cas system has been increasingly used in the field of nucleic acid detection. CRISPR / Cas12a can recognize specific PAM sequences of several nucleotides and, under the guidance of crRNA, cut double-stranded target DNA. After cutting the target double-stranded DNA, its activity of cutting non-specific single-stranded DNA is activated. Due to its specific cutting activity, some people have begun to combine isothermal amplification technology with gene editing tools, such as researchers who developed a visualization detection technology by coupling LAMP with CRISPR / Cas12a. However, this technology still requires the extraction of sample DNA in the laboratory, and requires endpoint PCR or real-time fluorescent LAMP to determine the final result, and cannot completely break away from the limitations of the laboratory. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a visual detection method for New Delhi Tomato Leaf Curl Virus. The method is rapid, sensitive, and convenient, can complete the detection without complicated operations and expensive instruments, has low requirements on operators, environment, and instrument costs, and has an application prospect for on-site rapid detection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation mode of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below. The technical features in each embodiment of the present invention can be combined accordingly without conflicting with each other.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a visual detection method for New Delhi Tomato Leaf Curl Virus (ToLCNDV), and the specific method is: first, adding genomic DNA extracted from a plant sample to be detected to an RAA reaction system containing RAA primers and performing isothermal amplification; then adding the isothermal amplification product to a CRISPR / Cas12a detection system containing specific crRNA and an ssDNA fluorescent probe with a fluorescent group for reaction; finally, performing fluorescence signal detection on the reaction product, if the fluorescence signal is positive, it indicates that ToLCNDV is detected in the plant sample, otherwise it indicates that ToLCNDV is not detected.

[0029] In the above-mentioned visualization detection method of the present invention, the principle of realizing ToLCNDV visualization detection can be described as follows: CRISPR / Cas12a protein is a kind of nuclease, which can target and cut double-stranded DNA under the guidance of single-stranded RNA, and activate non-specific cutting activity for single-stranded DNA; based on this principle, any single-stranded fluorescent labeled probe is added to the system, and after Cas12a protein cuts the target sequence, the trans-cutting activity is activated and the fluorescent signal can be detected, otherwise there is no fluorescent signal, which allows the detection results of the CRISPR / Cas system to be visually seen by the naked eye. Combining this technology with isothermal amplification technology can greatly increase the sensitivity of the detection method, so that the specificity of the detection results is doubly guaranteed. Therefore, the principle of the above-mentioned detection method can be found in Figure 2 , a fluorescent signal can be finally detected for samples with virus, but no fluorescent signal can be detected for samples without virus.

[0030] In the above-mentioned visualization detection method of the present invention, the plant sample to be detected can be various tissues of the plant to be detected, such as roots, stems, leaves, etc., preferably leaf tissues.

[0047] Example 1 Visual detection of ToLCNDV

[0048] 1. Design and synthesis of specific RAA primers and crRNA for the detection of ToLCNDV in crude extracts of plant leaf genomes based on RAA-CRISPR / Cas12a technology

[0049] (1) Synthesis of RAA primers: The CP gene sequences of different isolates of ToLCNDV were downloaded from the NCBI website, and the CP gene conserved nucleotide sequences of ToLCNDV were compared using Mega-X software. A specific fragment of about 230 bp in length was selected as the target sequence, and its sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.4. According to the target sequence, the corresponding RAA primers were designed and synthesized. The forward primer and reverse primer in the RAA primers were named CP-F and CP-R, respectively, and the nucleotide sequences were shown in SEQ ID NO.1 and SEQ ID NO.2, respectively. In this example, the CP-F and CP-R primers were synthesized by biological companies such as Beijing Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0050] (2) Design and synthesis of crRNA: The conserved nucleotide sequence of the CP gene of ToLCNDV screened above was used as the target, and the 20 bp sequence after TTTN in the highly conserved region was selected. The sequence specificity was analyzed by BLASTn comparison of the NCBI database, and the efficiency of crRNA was evaluated through an online website (https: / / ezassay.com / primer), and the sequence with the best specificity and highest efficiency was selected. The nucleic acid sequence of the specific crRNA finally obtained is shown in SEQ ID NO.3.

[0051] 2. Method for detecting ToLCNDV in crude extracts of plant leaf genomes based on RAA-CRISPR / Cas12a technology

[0052] See also Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for detecting ToLCNDV in a crude extract of a plant leaf genome based on RAA-CRISPR / Cas12a technology, comprising the following steps:

[0053] (1) Crude extraction of genomic DNA from the sample to be tested: prepare an extraction buffer containing 6% PEG and 20 mM NaOH, and filter the extraction buffer with a 0.45 μm bacterial filter; use a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube cap to cut a piece of plant leaf the size of the tube cap as the plant sample to be tested, add 50 μl of extraction buffer, immerse the leaf, grind the leaf tissue with a grinding rod or other tool, and incubate at room temperature for 3-5 min.

[0054] The plant samples to be tested involved in this embodiment were collected from Shanghai, Zhejiang and other places, and detailed information is shown in Table 1.

[0055] (2) Establishment of RAA-CRISPR / Cas12a reaction system: In this system, the pre-designed RAA primers CP-F and CP-R are used to configure the RAA reaction system in the reaction tube, and the extracted genomic DNA is added to the RAA reaction system containing the RAA primers, and isothermal amplification is performed in the reaction tube. The isothermal amplification fragment is added to the CRISPR / Cas12a detection system containing the corresponding crRNA and ssDNA fluorescent probe for reaction. The binary complex formed by crRNA and Cas12a specifically recognizes the target dsDNA in the amplified product, thereby activating the fluorescent probe in the Cas12a non-specific cleavage reaction system.

[0056] As mentioned above, the above RAA primers include CP-F and CP-R, the nucleic acid sequence of CP-F is shown in SEQ ID NO.1, and the nucleic acid sequence of CP-R is shown in SEQ ID NO.2; the sequence of specific crRNA is shown in SEQ ID NO.3; the nucleic acid sequence of the ssDNA fluorescent probe with a fluorescent group is 5'-FAM-CCCCCCC-BHQI-3'. These RAA primers and crRNA are designed based on the conserved fragment shown in SEQ ID NO.4 in the ToLCNDV coat protein gene.

[0057] In this embodiment, the RAA isothermal amplification reaction conditions are 37°C, 25 min. The RAA reaction system is configured using the RAA nucleic acid amplification kit (S001ZC, Hangzhou Zhongce Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), which includes 1 tube of reaction dry powder, 25μl A Buffer, 2 μl forward primer CP-F (10 μM), 2 μl reverse primer CP-R (10 μM), 5 μl genomic DNA sample and 2.5 μl B Buffer, and finally the system is filled to 50μl with RNase-free water. The specific steps for configuring the RAA reaction system and performing the isothermal amplification reaction are as follows:

[0058] (2.1) According to the reaction quantity and the composition amounts in the above RAA reaction system, prepare a mixed solution containing RNase-free water, ABuffer, forward primer CP-F (as shown in SEQ ID NO.1), and reverse primer CP-R (as shown in SEQ ID NO.2), mix well, and add to the detection unit tube containing the reaction dry powder;

[0059] (2.2) Adding the genomic DNA sample extracted from the plant sample to be tested into the detection unit tube according to the composition amounts in the above RAA reaction system;

[0060] (2.3) Add 2.5 μl of B Buffer to the cap of the detection unit tube according to the composition of the RAA reaction system, cover the tube, invert it several times to mix the components in the RAA reaction system, and then centrifuge the mixture to the bottom of the centrifuge tube by low speed centrifugation;

[0061] (2.4) Place the centrifuge tube in a 37°C constant temperature metal bath (or water bath) and incubate for 25 min to achieve isothermal amplification reaction;

[0062] (2.5) After the isothermal amplification reaction is completed, the obtained isothermal amplification product can be directly used in the next step of the CRISPR / Cas12a system reaction.

[0063] In this embodiment, the reaction conditions of the CRISPR / Cas12a system are 37°C, 30 min, and the reaction system includes: 2 μl isothermal amplification product, 100 nM Cas12a protein, 100 nM crRNA (as shown in SEQ ID NO.3), 2 μl NEBuffer2.1 buffer and 2 μM ssDNA fluorescent probe (sequence 5'-FAM-CCCCCCC-BHQI-3'), and RNase-free water is used to fill up to 20 μl. During the reaction, the binary complex formed by crRNA and Cas12a specifically recognizes the target dsDNA in the amplified product, thereby activating the fluorescent probe in the Cas12a non-specific cleavage reaction system.

[0064] (3) Interpretation of results: Fluorescence signal detection is performed on the reaction product of RAA-CRISPR / Cas12a. If the fluorescence signal is positive, it indicates that ToLCNDV is detected in the plant sample. Otherwise, it indicates that ToLCNDV is not detected. In this embodiment, the CRISPR / Cas12a detection system after the reaction is completed is directly illuminated by an ultraviolet flashlight in the field, and the fluorescence signal is visualized by naked eyes; when green fluorescence is observed, it indicates that the plant sample to be detected contains ToLCNDV, otherwise it indicates that the plant sample to be detected does not contain ToLCNDV.

[0065] The visualization results of this embodiment are as follows Figure 3As shown, the reaction product of RAA-CRISPR / Cas12a was irradiated with an ultraviolet flashlight. The test results are shown in Table 1. Among the 126 melon field samples, samples with sample numbers starting with SH and ZJ were collected from two different places in Shanghai and Zhejiang, respectively. Obvious green fluorescence was observed in the reaction tubes of SHHG-1, SHXG-1, SHXG-2, SHXG-3, SHXG-4, SHXG-5, SHXG-6, SHXG-7, ZJHG-1, ZJHG-2, ZJHG-3, ZJHG-4, ZJHG-5, ZJHG-6, ZJHG-6, ZJHG-7, ZJHG-8, ZJHG-9, and ZJWWG-1, indicating the presence of ToLCNDV in the samples, while no green fluorescence was observed in the reaction tubes of SHCK1, SHCK2, SHCK3, FJCK-1, FJCK-2, FJCK-3, FJCK-4, and FJCK-5, indicating that ToLCNDV was not present in the samples. The above test results are completely consistent with the results of PCR testing of 26 melon field samples after genome extraction using a DNA kit.

The specific operation was as follows: 2 μl 5× Ultra-Universal TOPO Cloning Mix, 1 μl RAA amplification purified product and 7 μl ddH2O were added to the reaction tube, and the vector and amplified fragment were connected in a PCR instrument at 25°C for 30 min.
