Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering technology, specifically relating to a soybean. GmWAK9 Application of genes in improving soybean resistance to soybean cyst nematode disease. Background Technology

[0002] Soybeans Glycine max [L.] Merr. is an important economic crop, providing essential oils and plant protein sources for humans and animals. Although China is the world's fourth-largest soybean producer, it has become the world's largest consumer and importer of soybeans over the past few decades. Therefore, it is necessary to further increase domestic soybean production to ensure food security.

[0003] In soybean-growing areas, pests and diseases severely impact yield and quality. Among them, the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is one of the most destructive pathogens in global soybean production. Between 1996 and 2016, the United States suffered soybean yield losses of up to $32 billion due to SCN (Bandara et al. 2020. Dissecting the economic impact of soybean diseases in the United States over two decades. PLoS One. 2020; 15(4): e0231141). Soybean cyst nematode disease is prevalent in major soybean-producing areas of my country, and has now spread to more than 23 provinces. It is roughly estimated that China suffers economic losses exceeding $120 million annually due to SCN (Ou et al. 2008. Identification of...). Heterodera glycines Using PCR with sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) primers. Nematology. 10: 397-403. Typically, in mildly infected fields, the yield loss of up to 30% caused by soybean cyst nematodes is often overlooked because the above-ground parts of soybeans do not show any visible symptoms. However, under conditions such as drought, soybean yields in severely infested fields can decrease by 60-70%. Therefore, effective measures are urgently needed to mitigate the impact of soybean cyst nematodes on soybean yield.

[0004] Currently, the main measures for controlling soybean cyst nematodes both domestically and internationally include: planting resistant varieties, crop rotation with non-host crops, chemical control, and biological control. Among these, utilizing resistant varieties is the most economical and effective measure for controlling soybean cyst nematodes. However, soybean cyst nematodes exist in multiple physiological race populations in the field, and continuous planting of a single type of resistant variety may lead to a change in the virulence of the dominant soybean cyst nematode population. Therefore, discovering new disease-resistant genes and using genetic engineering technology to create high-quality new disease-resistant soybean varieties has become an important research direction for the integrated management of soybean cyst nematode diseases.

[0005] Wall-associated kinases (WAKs) belong to the plant receptor kinase family and are involved in regulating plant perception and response to environmental signals, such as cell elongation and reproductive growth, defense responses against pathogens, and responses to abiotic stresses such as metal ions (He et al., 1996; A cell wall-associated, receptor-like protein kinase, Journal of Biological Chemistry. Kohorn et al., 1992; An Arabidopsis serine / threonine kinase homologue with anepidermal growth factor repeat selected in yeast for its specificity for athylakoid membrane protein, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences). Current research confirms that WAK genes are involved in crop disease resistance processes, such as in rice. OsWAK1OsWAK1 plays an important role in rice blast disease resistance (Li H et al., A novel wall-associated receptor-like protein kinase gene, OsWAK1, plays important roles in rice blast disease resistance, Plantmolecular biology, 2009); The interaction between cotton WAKL and DnaJ proteins protects against Verticillium wilt infection (Feng H et al., A cotton WAKL protein interacted with a DnaJ protein and was involved in defense against...). Verticillium dahlia , International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2021; GmWAK1 is involved in soybean defense against Phytophthora soybean, the pathogen causing root rot (Zhao M et al., 2023; GmWAK1, Novel Wall-Associated Protein Kinase, Positively Regulates Response of Soybean to Phytophthora sojae (Infection. International Journal of Molecular Sciences). However, the application of soybean cell wall-associated kinases in the fight against soybean cyst nematode disease has not yet been discovered.

[0037] The research approach of this invention is as follows: Figure 1 The flowchart is shown in the image.

[0038] Example 1: qRT-PCR analysis of soybean cyst nematode inoculation GmWAK9 Gene expression in different soybean varieties

[0039] Twelve days after seed germination, the roots of soybean cyst nematode-resistant variety Heinong 531 (HN531) and susceptible variety Dongsheng 1 (DS1) were infected with second-instar larvae (J2) of physiological race 5 (SCN5) of soybean cyst nematode. A control group and a treatment group were set up. In the treatment group, 500 J2 larvae per seed bag were inoculated with a prepared suspension of J2 larvae. For 48 hours after inoculation, the seed bags were placed horizontally in the dark to help the nematodes establish an infection relationship with the roots. An equal volume of sterile water was added to the control group. After 48 hours, the seed bags were placed vertically on a support and cultured in a light incubator. It was important to replenish the water in the seed bags regularly to maintain a humid environment. Four sampling time points were set up in the experiment. Root samples were taken from the treatment group and the control group on the 3rd, 5th, 8th and 12th day after infection. The treatment group selected the main root containing the feeding site of the nematode for sampling, and removed the root tip and lateral roots. The control group selected root samples from the same location.

[0040] The specific steps for extracting total RNA from soybean root samples are as follows: Fresh root samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen and the grinding container was pre-cooled. The plant samples were ground thoroughly into powder. The samples were transferred to sterile centrifuge tubes and lysis buffer was quickly added to fully lyse the samples. The RNA was extracted using the TIANGEN RNAprep Pure extraction kit according to its instructions.

[0041] First-strand cDNA was synthesized using the 5×HiScript III qRT SuperMix (Vazyme) kit. The reaction system is shown in Table 1. The reaction program was 37℃ for 15 min and 85℃ for 5 sec. After the reaction, the system was diluted 5-fold to a final volume of 100 µL.

[0044] Note: The RNA sample volume needs to be calculated based on the concentration obtained from RNA extraction.

[0045] After reversing cDNA, quantitative fluorescence detection was performed. GmWAK9 Changes in gene expression levels were analyzed using ChamQ SYBR qPCRMaster Mix (Novizan) on a Light Cycle 480II amplification system. The qRT-PCR reaction system is shown in Table 2, and the primer sequences are shown in Table 3. Gene expression levels were calculated using a 2-1... -ΔΔCT The method. See qRT-PCR results.

[0049]

[0050] like Figure 2 A in the data shows that 5 days after HN531 was inoculated with nematodes, GmWAK9 Gene expression was significantly upregulated in nematode-induced expression, showing a trend of initial increase followed by decrease. In DS1, soybean cyst nematode infection could induce... GmWAK9 Expression was upregulated, especially at day 3 of infection when the expression level was highest. GmWAK9 The expression level of the gene decreased with prolonged stress time. Figure 2 (B in the middle).

[0051] Example 2: qRT-PCR analysis GmWAK9 Gene expression under SA and OG treatment

[0052] DS1 soybean roots were treated with plant hormones salicylic acid (SA) and oligogalacturonic acid (OGs). The control group received sterile water, while the treatment groups received 100 µM SA and 50 µg / mL OGs solutions, respectively, for 1 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h. Root samples were taken in triplicate at each time point, and quantitative fluorescence determination of the levels of salicylic acid and OGs in the roots of each treatment group was performed. GmWAK9 Changes in gene expression levels (method as in Example 1). Results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown in A, SA treatment for 12 h and 24 h can induce basal secretion in soybean roots. GmWAK9 Gene expression was significantly upregulated ( p <0.05), while OGs treatment for 24 h GmWAK9 Genes can be significantly induced to express ( Figure 3 (B in the middle).

[0055] Using total RNA from the roots of soybean variety Willam82 as a template for reverse transcription to synthesize the first strand of cDNA, according to GmWAK9 Primers were designed based on the gene coding sequence (see Table 4) to amplify the gene. GmWAK9 Gene sequences were analyzed using agarose gel electrophoresis. GmWAK9The size of the amplified product fragments of the gene coding sequence was identified, and the identification results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown. This gene has a complete coding sequence, with a full length of 2220 bp, as shown in SEQ ID NO.1.

[0058] (2) GmWAK9 Construction of overexpression vectors

[0059] Soybean RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed into cDNA. Using the cDNA as a template, primers containing Swa I and Avr II restriction sites (upstream primer nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.7, downstream primer nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.8) were used to cleave the soybean.

[0064] Will GmWAK9 The amplified product of the gene was inserted upstream of GFP in the expression vector pG2RNAi2 (GenBank: KT954097) to obtain the recombinant plasmid pG2RNAi-GmWAK9-GFP. This plasmid was then transformed into competent E. coli cells and amplified. PCR amplification revealed that it was similar to... GmWAK9 Gene sequences of the same size, such as Figure 5 .

[0065] Example 4: GmWAK9 Genetically modified soybean root construction

[0066] The overexpression vector obtained in Example 3 was extracted from Escherichia coli and introduced into Agrobacterium rhizogenes K599 competent cells using the freeze-thaw method. Specifically, 0.01-1 µg of plasmid was added to each 100 µL of K599 competent cells, and the cells were placed in ice for 5 min, liquid nitrogen for 5 min, water bath at 37°C for 5 min, and ice bath for 5 min in sequence. After that, the cells were taken out and placed at room temperature, and LB liquid medium was added for incubation at 28°C. Then, positive clones were picked from the plate to verify the transformation results.

[0067] Five days after soybean seed germination (before cotyledons open), plant tissue containing the portion above the hypocotyl was harvested using a sterilized scalpel. Transgenic rooting was obtained using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of the plant tissue. The specific procedures were as follows: K599 Agrobacterium for rooting, containing both an empty plasmid and a recombinant plasmid pG2RNAi-GmWAK9-GFP, was activated, and a bacterial suspension (OD2N) was prepared. 600nm To achieve a growth rate of 0.5-0.6%, the hypocotyl section of soybean seedlings was immersed in Agrobacterium-mediated transformation solution and cultured overnight in a dark, sealed environment. The following day, after washing twice with sterile water, the tissue in contact with the bacterial solution was immersed in sterile water and cultured under light for 1 day. The next day, the plants were transplanted into moist, sterile vermiculite and cultured in an incubator for 6-7 days. Root selection was performed using a LUYOR-3415RG fluorescent protein excitation light source (blue excitation light), retaining positive roots with green fluorescent signals at the root tips and removing roots without fluorescent signals (see...). Figure 6 ).

[0068] Example 5: Overexpression GmWAK9 Application in soybean resistance to soybean cyst nematode

[0069] To observe the effects of soybean cyst nematode treatment GmWAK9 To investigate the resistance of soybean root systems overexpressing the gene (OE-GmWAK9 group) to soybean cyst nematode, this invention involves inoculating OE-GmWAK9 soybean roots with the 5th physiological race of soybean cyst nematode, at a rate of 400 J2 nematodes of SCN5 per soybean plant. The effects of soybean cyst nematode stress were then observed. GmWAK9 The development of nematodes in soybean roots with overexpressing genes (observed by fuchsin staining) and the number of nematodes at each instar were analyzed. Results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, nematode development in soybean roots of the OE-GmWAK9 group was slower compared to the empty vector control group. Figure 7 (A) Further statistical analysis of nematode numbers at each instar showed that the number of J2 nematodes in the hairy roots of the OE-GmWAK9 group was reduced, and the number of J3 stage nematodes was significantly lower than that in the empty vector control group. Figure 7 (B in the text) Explanation GmWAK9Gene overexpression can reduce the damage caused by soybean cyst nematodes by affecting their development, thereby improving soybean resistance to soybean cyst nematodes.

[0070] Furthermore, this invention provides protection against soybean cyst nematode stress. GmWAK9 The number of soybean cysts on the surface of soybean roots overexpressing the gene was statistically analyzed. The results showed that the number of soybean root cysts in the OE-GmWAK9 group was less than half that of the Emptyvector control group, and the number of cysts per gram of root was significantly reduced, lower than that of the control group. Figure 8 ).visible, GmWAK9 After gene overexpression, soybean plants exhibited resistance to soybean cyst nematode.
