AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a new gene called xcv-1 that is responsible for resistance to bacteria in peppers and tomatoes. The gene was isolated using genetic map-based cloning and its sequence was determined. The mutant xcv-1 protein has a double Leu deletion in its CYSTM region, which is a common feature of certain transmembrane proteins. The mutant protein is a tail-anchored (TA) transmembrane protein that carries a negative charge. The patent text also discusses the use of a reporter gene assay to test whether the mutation affects the delivery of type three effector proteins into plant cells. The technical effect of the invention is the removal of the double Leu deletion in the CYSTM region of the xcv-1 protein, which results in recessive resistance to bacteria.

Problems solved by technology

It is well-known that in arable plant production, sensitive crops are infested by various pathogens (viruses, bacteria, fungi etc.) the serious consequences of which include yield reduction or yield loss.
The infected leaves of sensitive plants die and fall off within one to two weeks, and the yield is burnt by the sun.
The proliferation of the bacteria damages plant tissue to such an extent as to cause the majority of the leaves to fall off and the plant to dry out sooner or later.

Genetic Crosses and Analysis of the F2 Progeny of the Xcv Plant

[0146]For the generation of F1 individuals, commercially available C. annuum var. Feherozon sensitive to Xanthomonas euvesicatoria (Xe) was used as the father parent (marked as F0), and Capsicum annuum var. T1 / 1 carrying Xe resistance—an individual of Gene Bank Accession No. PI163192—was used as the mother parent (T1 / 1). After the crossing, 45 F1 seeds from the mother plant were sown and F2 plants were grown from them. When plants reached the 8-leaved age, a Xanthomonas euvesicatoria infection test was used to determine the sensitivity of the plants to Xe. Finally, 20 F2 individuals—8 resistant and 12 sensitive individuals (see Table 1)—were selected for the general mapping experiments; on the other hand, more than 3000 F2 individuals were used for the fine-mapping of the Xe resistance gene (xcv-1).

Identification of Markers Linked to the Xcv-1 Gene of the T1 / 1 Mutant Plant

[0147]Identification by genetic mapping of molecular markers mapping close to the mutated xcv gene, i.e., those linked to Xcv resistance, was carried out using the 20 F2 progeny mentioned in Example 1. Total DNA from fresh leaves was subjected to PCR amplification using specific primers designed on the basis of pepper sequences available in the databases, and the resulting fragments were subjected to electrophoresis on agarose gels or on so-called SSCP acrylamide gels. In order to visualise the DNA fragments, agarose gels and acrylamide gels were stained using ethidium bromide and silver, respectively. The linkage of markers showing polymorphism on the agarose or SSCP gels was determined by colour mapping (Kiss et al., Acta Biologica Hungarica 49:47-64, 1998) with respect to the xcv / Xcv phenotype after ascertaining the homozygote or heterozygote status. As a result of the systematic mapping, a single marker d...

Isolation of BAC Clones Overlapping with the Xcv-1 Mutation, Contig Building

[0150]A primary BAC clone (No. 279) was isolated using the molecular marker showing the strongest linkage to the xcv-1 mutation, i.e., CaCY. The primary and other BAC clones are isolated using multiplex PCR from a BAC library comprising 380,000 BACs, which was prepared from an Xcv resistant pepper (Capsicum annuum) plant and ensures a 22-fold coverage of the pepper genome (Bukovinszki et al., VII. Hungarian Congress on Genetics, Abstract Book, p. 91, 2007).

[0151]Both ends of BAC Clone No. 279 were sequenced and additional two BAC clones were identified using primer pairs specific to these sequences: BAC Clone No. 1248 using primers Pr_279 op F1 (SEQ ID NO:3) and Pr_279 op R1 (SEQ ID NO:4), and BAC Clone No. 632 using primer pair Pr_279-40 F1 (SEQ ID NO:5) plus Pr_279-40 R1 (SEQ ID NO:6).

[0152]Primer pairs specific to the terminal sequences of BAC No. 1248 were used to identify BAC Clone No. 1191: the pair co...

Abstract

The present invention relates to the identification of the xcv-1 gene, which is responsible for a recessive resistance to Xanthomonas euvesicatoria, by genetic mapping-based cloning from Capsicum annuum. In addition, the invention relates to methods for generating plants resistant to an abiotic or biotic factor, in particular to Xanthomonas euvesicatoria, and the plants themselves, in particular tomato plants.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the identification of the xcv-1 gene, which is responsible for a recessive resistance to Xanthomonas euvesicatoria, by genetic mapping-based cloning from Capsicum annuum. In addition, the invention relates to methods for generating resistant plants, in particular plants resistant to Xanthomonas euvesicatoria. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND PRIOR ART[0002]It is well-known that in arable plant production, sensitive crops are infested by various pathogens (viruses, bacteria, fungi etc.) the serious consequences of which include yield reduction or yield loss. Therefore, one fundamental requirement for advanced and competitive plant varieties is to show resistance to pests and pathogens causing major yield losses. Resistant plants allow cheaper and more environmentally friendly production because no spray liquids containing hazardous substances and toxins are released into nature. The environmentally friendly product...
