Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering technology and relates to the application of Fusarium graminearum pathogenic factors in wheat disease resistance breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Fusarium graminearum, also known as the graminearum fungus, is a parasitic fungus belonging to the Poaceae family and other plants, and can also grow saprophytically in soil. It is an important fungal pathogen of grain crops, causing various diseases such as wheat scab and corn stalk rot, which negatively impact crop yield and quality to varying degrees. Crops infected with Fusarium graminearum contain certain amounts of secondary metabolites, such as triazolidinediones and fusarium ketones, which have toxicity and carcinogenicity, adversely affecting the quality of agricultural products and food safety.

[0003] Under favorable weather conditions, agricultural measures are often insufficient to completely control agricultural diseases caused by Fusarium graminearum. Chemical control is currently the main means of controlling diseases related to Fusarium graminearum, such as wheat scab and corn stalk rot. However, chemical control may cause mild phytotoxicity (stunting) due to excessively high concentrations or extreme weather conditions. Long-term use of a single type of pesticide (such as carbendazim or some triazoles) can lead to pesticide resistance in the pathogen, reducing its effectiveness. Chemical pesticides also pose potential risks to non-target organisms (such as bees, natural enemy insects, and aquatic organisms). Therefore, exploring control strategies that reduce the pathogenicity of Fusarium graminearum and block its infection process has become a research focus. The effective implementation of this strategy urgently requires the systematic mining and identification of key pathogenic genes in Fusarium graminearum to provide a theoretical basis and genetic resources for its precise control.

[0004] In recent years, the role of small RNAs in plant-pathogen interactions has received increasing attention, especially the regulatory mechanisms of cross-species RNAs, which have become a research hotspot. Based on this mechanism, researchers have developed cross-species RNA interference technologies, including spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) and host-induced gene silencing (HIGS). Inhibition through HIGS and SIGS... CHS3b , FgPP1 , FgSGE1 , FgSTE12 and CYP51 Gene expression can enhance wheat resistance to Fusarium head blight. However, research targeting the genes encoding pathogenic secretory proteins has not yet been reported. Therefore, systematically identifying the genes encoding key pathogenic secretory proteins and using them as RNAi silencing targets is of great significance for developing Fusarium head blight control technologies and creating disease-resistant gramineous crops as germplasm. Summary of the Invention

To this end, this invention provides the application of Fusarium graminearum pathogenic factors in wheat disease resistance breeding to address this need in the field.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects or advantages: This invention is the first to systematically identify four key pathogenic secretory protein-coding genes in Fusarium graminearum. FSE1 Gene,FSE2 Gene, FSE3 Genes and FSE4 This invention proposes a multi-gene silencing strategy that simultaneously targets this gene combination, overcoming the limitations of previous single-target silencing methods, which may have limited effectiveness or be easily offset by pathogen compensation mechanisms. By carefully designing and constructing a recombinant HIGS vector capable of simultaneously silencing these four genes, and utilizing cross-border RNA interference, this invention achieves highly efficient and specific inhibition of the expression of key pathogenic genes in wheat plants infected with Fusarium graminearum. This significantly weakens the pathogen's infectivity and pathogenicity at the source, substantially enhancing the transgenic wheat's resistance to Fusarium head blight. Importantly, this host-induced gene silencing-based disease resistance is highly efficient and specific. Furthermore, rigorous verification has shown that the main agronomic traits of the transgenic wheat, such as plant height, ear length, tiller number, and grain weight, are not adversely affected, ensuring the synergy between disease resistance and high-yield traits. This solves the problem of often failing to balance disease resistance and yield traits in traditional disease-resistant breeding. Furthermore, this invention provides a genetic engineering-based biological control strategy that reduces dependence on chemical pesticides and helps avoid problems such as pesticide residues, environmental pollution, pathogen resistance development, and non-target biosafety risks. It provides a technical path and genetic resources for the green and sustainable control of wheat scab and has broad application prospects and important practical value in the breeding of disease-resistant varieties of wheat and other grasses.
