Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and relates to application of a potato late blight pathogen responsive gene StRTP5 in regulation of potato disease resistance. BACKGROUND
[0002] Potato is an important food crop next to wheat, rice and corn, but potato is susceptible to various biological and non-biological stress during its production process. Among them, potato late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans is an important factor restricting potato production, and using disease-resistant genes to improve and cultivate disease-resistant potato varieties is a more economical and effective measure to control diseases. At present, although the dominant disease-resistant gene (R gene) plays a role in potato disease-resistant breeding, the resistance mediated by the R gene has physiological race specificity, and the resistance is easily overcome by new pathogens appearing in the field, and there is a prominent problem of loss of resistance of the variety in production. The plant disease resistance pathway mediated by the susceptible gene (S gene) has potential for molecular design of crop broad-spectrum disease resistance, and has important theoretical and practical significance for crop disease resistance and biological breeding.
[0003] StRTP5a and StRTP5b are two homologous genes that are significantly induced by P. infestans and have similar expression patterns. The two genes are highly homologous to Arabidopsis RTP5 encoding WD40 protein. Studies have shown that Arabidopsis RTP5 negatively regulates the resistance of Arabidopsis to parasitic P. infestans, and StRTP5a, StRTP5b and RTP5 and their homologous genes are widely distributed in plants, suggesting that StRTP5a, StRTP5b and their homologous genes may have conserved biological functions in plants, but the function of StRTP5a and StRTP5b in response to P. infestans infection is still unknown.
[0004] Therefore, using Agrobacterium-mediated potato genetic transformation technology, transgenic lines overexpressing and silencing the genes StRTP5a and StRTP5b are obtained, and then the obtained transgenic lines are tested for resistance to P. infestans and other pathogens (early blight pathogens) of potato, which provides materials and reference information for further analyzing the mechanism of the genes StRTP5a and StRTP5b in potato disease resistance. SUMMARY

[0201] 1.2.14 Inoculation analysis of P. infestans and A. solani
[0202] Inoculation analysis of P. infestans: Cultivation of P. infestans and production of zoospores refer to the reported method (Yang, Y. 2023. Mechanism of plant resistance to P. infestans mediated by mitochondrial RNA processing factors RTP7 and MORF8. [PhD thesis]. Yangling: Northwest A&F University). Inoculation of potato detached leaves with P. infestans refer to the reported method (Cao, Y. 2025. Mechanism of plant immunity inhibition by P. parasitica effector protein PpE18 targeting host ascorbate peroxidase APX3. [PhD thesis]. Yangling: Northwest A&F University). Take the detached leaves, wrap the petiole with wet cotton, inoculate 13 μL P. infestans spore solution at the symmetrical position of the leaf vein, cover the film and keep it moist, and observe the disease after 4-6 days of culture at 16℃ in the dark. At the same time, stain the diseased area of the leaf with trypan blue, take a photo and calculate the leaf lesion area.
[0203] Inoculation analysis of Alternaria solani: The production of Alternaria solani conidia was performed according to the reported method (Li Q, Feng Y, Li J, Hai Y, Si L, Tan C, Peng J, Hu Z, Li Z, Li C, Hao D, Tang W. 2024. Multi-omics approaches to understand pathogenicity during potato early blight disease caused by Alternaria solani. Frontiers in Microbiology, 15: 1357579). Briefly, a piece of mycelium about 0.5 cm long was scratched with a sterile toothpick and transferred to potato dextrose solid medium (PDA) and cultured in a 25 °C incubator for 7 days or so. Then a small amount of sterile water was poured into the culture dish to wash off the mycelium on the surface of the medium, and a conidial suspension was prepared. The number of conidia was adjusted to about 3.0 x 10 4 The potato leaf pieces were taken, the petiole was wrapped with a wet cotton strip, 13 μL of spore suspension was inoculated symmetrically on both sides of the leaf vein, and the film was covered and moistened. The leaf pieces were cultured in the dark at 23 °C for 3-5 days, photographed and the lesion area was calculated.
[0204] Results and analysis of Example 2
[0205] 2.1 Genes StRTP5a (abbreviated as StRTP5a) and StRTP5b (abbreviated as StRTP5b) are up-regulated in response to infection by P. infestans
[0206] To verify the expression of StRTP5a and StRTP5b in response to infection by P. infestans, potato variety Désirée leaves were inoculated with P. infestans zoospores, and P. infestans-infected potato leaf samples were collected at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 96 h, and RT-qPCR analysis was performed. The results of RT-qPCR analysis showed that StRTP5a and StRTP5b could be induced to up-regulate expression in response to infection by P. infestans, and had similar expression trends Figure 1
[0207] Figure 1 The expression levels of StRTP5a and StRTP5b at different time points after inoculation of potato leaves with P. infestans were analyzed by RT-qPCR using StEF1a as the internal reference gene. The results were obtained from three biological replicates, and t-test was used for significance detection, *, ** and *** represent P < 0.05, P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively. The results showed that StRTP5a and StRTP5b might play a role in the interaction between potato and P. infestans, and might function in a functional redundancy manner.
[0208] 2.2 Alignment analysis and phylogenetic analysis of StRTP5a and StRTP5b and their homologous proteins
[0209] To explore the consistency degree of protein sequence between StRTP5a and StRTP5b and Arabidopsis RTP5 (AtRTP5), the sequence alignment software ClustralX was used to perform sequence alignment analysis on the three proteins. The results showed that StRTP5a and StRTP5b both contained 4 conserved WD40 domains, and the sequence consistency between StRTP5a (as shown in SEQ ID NO: 3) and StRTP5b (as shown in SEQ ID NO: 4) and AtRTP5 protein was high, and the protein sequence consistency reached 54.5% and 53.9% (as shown in SEQ ID NO: 5), respectively. Figure 2
[0210] To further explore the phylogenetic relationship of StRTP5a (Soltu.DM.05G023120) and StRTP5b (Soltu.DM.09G027740) and their homologous proteins, StRTP5a or StRTP5b sequence was used as "query" to perform BlastP alignment in Phytozome v13 (https: / / phytozome-next.jgi.doe.gov / ), and homologous proteins of StRTP5a and StRTP5b were identified from dicotyledonous plants such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), pepper (Capsicum annuum), soybean (Glycine max), sunflower (Helianthus annuus), Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica napus, and monocotyledonous plants such as wheat (Triticum aestivum), rice (Oryza sativa), maize (Zea mays) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor). Then, the phylogenetic tree of StRTP5a and StRTP5b and their homologous proteins was constructed by using MEGA software with the neighbor-joining method. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the coding genes of StRTP5a and StRTP5b and their homologous proteins were not only distributed in dicotyledonous plants, but also in monocotyledonous plants. Figure 3 The results showed that the homologous proteins of StRTP5a / b were from Arabidopsis thaliana, Solanum lycopersicum, Nicotiana tabacum, Capsicum annuum, Glycine max, Helianthus annuus, Brassica napus, Triticum aestivum, Oryza sativa, Zea mays and Sorghum bicolor, respectively. The red bold part is StRTP5a and StRTP5b of potato.
[0211] 2.3 Obtaining and identifying potato gene silencing lines and overexpression lines
[0212] To investigate the function of StRTP5a and StRTP5b, we constructed overexpression vectors pART27-GFP-StRTP5a and pART27-GFP-StRTP5b (Fig. 1 Figure 4 A and B) for overexpression of StRTP5a and StRTP5b, respectively, and RNA silencing (RNAi) vector pHells12-StRTP5a / b i (Fig. 1 Figure 4 C) for RNAi of StRTP5a and StRTP5b, and transformed the vectors into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101 for genetic transformation of potato.
[0213] Leaves of potato cultivar Desiree were used as explants and co-cultured with Agrobacterium infection solution carrying the target gene vectors for 2 days (Fig. 1 Figure 5 A), the infected leaves were transferred to sterile filter paper to remove the surface infection solution, and then transferred to callus induction medium for culture to induce callus formation (Fig. 1 Figure 5 B), 10 days later, the leaves with callus formation were transferred to bud induction medium for culture, and new bud induction medium was replaced every 7 to 10 days until the callus differentiated into buds (Fig. 1 Figure 5 C), the buds were cut off and transferred to MS30 solid medium containing 50 mg / L Kan + (Fig. 1 Figure 5 D and E) until potato transgenic plants were obtained (Fig. 1 Figure 5 F).
[0214] Using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation technology, we obtained potato transgenic lines transformed with pHells12-StRTP5a / b i, pART27-GFP-StRTP5a and pART27-GFP-StRTP5b vectors, respectively. The potato lines transformed with pHells12-StRTP5a / b i vector were verified by PCR for the insertion of exogenous DNA fragments, and 8 potato lines that silenced StRTP5a and StRTP5b were obtained, named StRTP5a / b i-1 to 8 (Fig. 1 Figure 6 A). Further verification of the silencing of StRTP5a and StRTP5b by RT-qPCR, we finally obtained 2 potato lines that silenced StRTP5a and StRTP5b simultaneously, StRTP5a / b i-2 and StRTP5a / b i-7 (Fig. 1 Figure 6(See Figure B). Transgenic potato lines transformed with pART27-GFP-StRTP5a and pART27-GFP-StRTP5b vectors (named StRTP5a OE-1~StRTP5a OE-5 and StRTP5b OE-1~StRTP5b OE-5, respectively) showed accumulation of the corresponding target protein in both lines after PCR and Western blotting analysis, as indicated by PCR and Western blotting. Furthermore, the accumulation of the target protein was relatively high in the StRTP5aOE-3, StRTP5aOE-4, StRTP5b OE-1, and StRTP5b OE-4 lines. Figure 6 (C and D in the middle).
[0215] Further observation was conducted on the growth phenotypes of RNAi lines StRTP5a / b i-2 and StRTP5a / b i-7 and overexpression lines StRTP5aOE-3, StRTP5aOE-4, StRTP5b OE-1, and StRTP5b OE-4 in soil seedlings approximately 10 days old. The results showed no significant difference in growth phenotype between lines simultaneously silenced and separately overexpressed StRTP5a and StRTP5b compared to wild-type Désirée. Figure 7 The potato lines were plantlets that had grown for 10 days after being transplanted from tissue culture seedlings into soil. Therefore, the potato lines StRTP5a / bi-2 and StRTP5a / bi-7, which showed the most obvious simultaneous silencing of the genes StRTP5a and StRTP5b, as well as the overexpression lines StRTP5a OE-3, StRTP5a OE-4, StRTP5b OE-1, and StRTP5b OE-4, were selected for subsequent experimental analysis.
[0216] 2.4 StRTP5a and StRTP5b negatively regulate potato resistance to late blight
[0217] To investigate whether StRTP5a and StRTP5b play a role in the interaction between potato and Phytophthora blight, the RNAi gene-silenced lines (StRTP5a / bi-2 and StRTP5a / bi-7, i.e., StRTP5a&bi-2 and StRTP5a&bi-7), the StRTP5a overexpression lines (StRTP5a OE-3 and StRTP5a OE-4), and the StRTP5b overexpression lines (StRTP5b OE-1 and StRTP5b OE-4) were inoculated with Phytophthora blight using the detached leaf method. Resistance analysis showed that, compared with the Désirée control, potato lines that simultaneously silenced both StRTP5a and StRTP5b had significantly smaller lesion areas on their leaves, while potato lines that overexpressed StRTP5a and StRTP5b respectively had significantly larger lesion areas on their leaves. Figure 8 (A and B), and biomass analysis of pathogen colonization also showed that potato lines with StRTP5a / b silenced had significantly reduced Phytophthora colonization, while potato leaves overexpressing StRTP5a and StRTP5b, respectively, had more Phytophthora colonization. Figure 8 (C). This result indicates that the homologous genes StRTP5a and StRTP5b negatively regulate potato resistance to Phytophthora in a functionally redundant manner.
[0218] 2.5 StRTP5a and StRTP5b negatively regulate potato resistance to early blight
[0219] To investigate whether StRTP5a and StRTP5b also regulate potato resistance to other potato pathogens, RNAi gene-silenced lines (StRTP5a / bi-2 and StRTP5a / bi-7), StRTP5a overexpression lines (StRTP5a OE-3 and StRTP5a OE-4), and StRTP5b overexpression lines (StRTP5b OE-1 and StRTP5b OE-4) were inoculated with *Alternaria solani*, the pathogen of early blight of potato, using the in vitro leaf inoculation method. Analysis of the inoculation results showed that, compared with the Désirée control, potato lines that simultaneously silenced both StRTP5a and StRTP5b were more resistant to *Alternaria solani*, while potato lines that overexpressed StRTP5a and StRTP5b were more susceptible to *Alternaria solani* infection. Figure 9 This result indicates that the homologous genes StRTP5a and StRTP5b also negatively regulate resistance to early blight of potato in a functionally redundant manner.
[0220] The above results show that StRTP5a and StRTP5b negatively regulate the resistance to potato late blight and early blight in a functional redundant manner, and imply that the genes StRTP5a and StRTP5b have the potential to be used for creating potato broad-spectrum disease-resistant materials.
[0221] The present application uses the agrobacterium-mediated potato genetic transformation technology to obtain transgenic lines overexpressing and silencing the genes StRTP5a and StRTP5b respectively, and then tests the resistance of the obtained transgenic lines to the pathogenic P. infestans and other potato pathogens (early blight pathogens), which can provide materials and reference information for further analyzing the mechanism of the genes StRTP5a and StRTP5b in the potato late blight resistance.
