Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of genetic diversity analysis, in particular to a method for identifying variable shearing of pine wood nematodes. Background Art

[0002] Pine wilt disease (PWD), also known as pine wilt, is a systemic infectious disease caused by the pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner & Buhrer) Nickle). It mainly harms Pinus plants, but can also harm a few non-Pinus conifers, such as Larix olgensis. North America is considered to be the origin of pine wood nematodes. However, the pathogenicity of pine wood nematodes to native pine trees is not serious, and it only causes death to some introduced pine trees.

[0003] China is currently the country with the most serious pine wilt disease epidemic. In 1982, pine wilt disease was first discovered in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, causing the death of 265 black pines. In the same year, pine wilt disease was also confirmed on Masson pine (Pinus massoniana) in Hong Kong, China. In 1983, pine wilt disease occurred on sulfur pine in Taipei County, Taiwan Province, China. Over the past 40 years, the disease has continued to develop in China. In 2021, there were outbreaks in 742 county-level administrative regions in 19 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) across the country, covering an area of ​​1.7165 million hm2.

[0004] Pectin is a negatively charged acidic heteropolysaccharide that is mainly found in the cell walls of higher plants. When it cross-links with cellulose, lignin, etc. in plant tissues, it can give the cell wall rigidity and become a natural barrier to the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, for plant pathogens, the large number of cell wall degrading enzymes (including pectinases, cellulases, and proteases) present in nature enable them to break through the plant cell wall barrier and enter the host cell. In the process of interaction between microorganisms and plants, pectate lyases secreted by pathogenic microorganisms play an important role in degrading plant cell walls. They are usually secreted in the early stages of infection and are a potential virulence factor.

[0005] Alternative splicing, also known as alternative splicing (AS), refers to the process of producing different mRNA isomers in an mRNA precursor through different splicing methods. It is a common biological event in eukaryotes and an important mechanism for organisms to produce a variety of proteins. The existence of alternative splicing greatly enriches the diversity of genes. About 95% of gene sequences in the human genome have alternative splicing. Alternative splicing is often closely related to cancer or some genetic diseases. Therefore, alternative splicing is also an important direction for our research on the pathogenicity of pine wood nematodes.

[0006] However, it is worth noting that from the relatively low-level prokaryotes to the relatively complex high-level multicellular eukaryotes, the proportion of intron length in the entire organism's genes gradually increases, suggesting that introns may play an important role in regulating and inducing complex genomics, or a regulatory means to enrich the gene expression of organisms. The proportion of genes containing introns to the total number of genes in different organisms varies greatly. For example, in some relatively low-level organisms: Drosophila melanogaster, Arabidopsis thaliana and Caenorhabditis elegans, genes containing introns exceed 80% of the total number of genes. Previous studies on intron retention events by relevant scholars mainly focused on various model species and humans, but with the extension of time and in-depth technology for intron research, the important role of intron has become increasingly significant. The regulation of gene expression by introns was first reported in animal studies in 1983. Banerji et al. found that the enhancer of mouse immunoglobulin is located in intron, and the activity of this enhancer is cell-specific. Summary of the invention

[0091]

[0092] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0093] Due to the presence of IR, the PEL gene will produce multiple transcripts during the transcription process. Under normal transcription (N-IR), only Exon-1 and Exon-2 exist, but due to the presence of intron retention, the PEL gene consists of three parts: Exon-1, Intron, and Exon-2. The existence of variable splicing is randomly generated and not controlled by humans. When sequencing using Pel-F and Pel-R, it is easy to amplify transcript sequences that do not contain introns, which seriously reduces the identification efficiency. In order to facilitate sequencing experiments in multiple insect strains, this study used the specific primer design principles, took the intron-containing transcript sequence as a template, and designed primers in the upstream and downstream regions of IR. Specific primers that only amplify the IR region were redesigned, namely IR-F, IR-R (such as Figure 2 As shown), the primer sequences are: IR-F: AACTTTGATGTAGGTTG; IR-R: CTTGTCCCTGTTTGTAA.

[0094] The primer design of the IR part site uses the transcript with intron retention as the template. The downstream primer should contain the common sequence of Exon-1 and Intron, so that the primer can only bind to the sequence containing Intron during amplification to ensure the accuracy of intron gene expression. Because there are introns of different lengths in variable splicing, when designing primers for amplifying the intron retention part, it should be noted that the upstream and downstream primers should be set in the stable regions upstream and downstream of the retention region, respectively, to ensure the stability and effectiveness of amplification. The primer sequences are as follows, Intron-F: GCAGCCGATGGTATC, Intron-R: CAACCTACATCAAAGTT.

[0095] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0096] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

Measure the quality of the extracted RNA using a NanoDrop to ensure that its 230 / 260 and 260 / 280 ratios are within 1.8-2.0, and verify the integrity of the bands by running them on an agarose gel. D2. Determine the concentration of RNA and divide it by 500 to obtain the mass of the initial RNA used for reverse transcription; D3: Use the Takara kit, 4 μl of 4× gDNA wipe mix, 16 μl of initial RNA and RNase-free ddHH2O, pipette and mix thoroughly, then place in a 42°C PCR incubator for 2 minutes to eliminate genome-wide contamination. D4. Add 4 μl of 5×HiScript QRT PCR to the reagents in step D3, perform PCR amplification at 50°C for 15 minutes, and then perform PCR amplification at 85°C for 5 seconds.
