Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, and in particular to an RNAi recombinant vector simultaneously targeting whitefly and tomato yellow leaf curl virus transmitted by the whitefly, a construction method and application in insect and disease resistance of tomatoes. Background Art

[0002] Bemisia whitefly is a piercing-sucking insect, known as a "super pest". It is widely distributed, reproduces quickly, and has a wide host range. It is one of the most important pests in the world's subtropical and tropical agricultural and greenhouse production systems. Bemisia whitefly can not only directly feed on plant phloem sap to cause harm, but also widely spread plant viruses, causing double harm to plant production. Recent studies have found that tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) spread by Bemisia whitefly is the most widely distributed and most harmful plant virus in my country and even in the world. TYLCV belongs to the genus Begomovirus of the family Geminiviridae. After infecting tomatoes, it causes symptoms such as yellowing and curling of new leaves, slow growth, and obvious shrinkage of leaves. It causes significant losses to the production of many crops around the world, especially tomatoes. When the damage is serious, the yield loss can reach 100%. TYLCV is spread by Bemisia whitefly in a persistent cycle, and its prevalence is closely related to the population of Bemisia whitefly. Therefore, effective prevention and control of Bemisia whitefly is the most important means to control geminiviruses. At present, the prevention and control of whiteflies mainly relies on chemical control, but the irregular use of insecticides has led to the resistance of whiteflies to insecticides, which has brought great difficulties to the prevention and control of whiteflies. Therefore, developing a strategy to effectively control whiteflies and block the spread of TYLCV is a major demand in agricultural production.

[0003] RNA silencing is a highly conserved gene expression regulation mechanism based on sequence specificity in eukaryotes and is a key way for plants to cope with various viral infections. Based on the high conservation and sequence specificity of RNA silencing, RNA silencing is widely used in the field of genetic engineering to regulate the expression of target sequences. The present invention targets the key genes and sequences of whiteflies and TYLCV, and constructs a phloem promoter-driven recombinant vector that simultaneously targets whiteflies and TYLCV, based on the characteristics of whiteflies and TYLCV being confined to the phloem of plants. Transgenic tomatoes with dual resistance to whiteflies and TYLCV are obtained, providing an important strategy for effectively controlling whiteflies and viral diseases transmitted by them. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an RNAi recombinant vector and construction method and application that is resistant to both whitefly and tomato yellow leaf curl virus. The present invention constructs a phloem-specifically expressed Geminivirus DNA β promoter on an RNAi vector pCambia1391 vector to drive the expression of a hairpin structure that simultaneously targets a key gene of whitefly and a key region of TYLCV, transforms the recombinant vector into tomatoes, and obtains transgenic tomatoes that are resistant to both whitefly and TYLCV through screening.

[0078] Whiteflies that emerged at the same time and carried TYLCV virus particles were released on transgenic tomatoes and wild-type plants, with 100 insects per tomato plant. After 3-7 days of feeding, it was observed that the mortality rate of whiteflies feeding on transgenic tomatoes was significantly higher than that of the control group ( Figure 2). After 28 days, it was observed that compared with the control, the number of whiteflies on the transgenic plants was extremely small and the symptoms were milder. Primers TYLCV-qF and TYLCV-qR were designed, as shown in SEQ ID NO:12-SEQ ID NO:13; primers 25S rRNA-qF and 25S RNA-qR were designed to amplify the internal reference gene, as shown in SEQ ID NO:14-SEQ ID NO:15, and qPCR detection was performed, and combined with western blot analysis, it was found that the amount of virus accumulation was less ( Figure 3 ).
