Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of genetic engineering technology, and in particular to a vector, construction method and application thereof that resists infection by multiple geminiviruses based on a CRISPR / LbCas12a system. Background Art

[0002] Geminiviruses are single-stranded circular DNA viruses that are widely distributed around the world. Currently, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses classifies Geminiviruses into 14 genera based on the host range, insect vectors, and genome structure of the virus, and has identified more than 520 species of Geminiviruses. Geminiviruses can infect economic and food crops including tobacco, tomatoes, cotton, corn, wheat, cassava, etc., seriously affecting the yield and quality of crops and causing devastating damage. Currently, many crops can be infected with multiple Geminiviruses at the same time, so it is urgent to create highly effective and broad-spectrum anti-geminivirus materials.

[0003] Although many disease-resistant genes have been screened out in host plants at this stage, overexpression of certain endogenous genes or mutant materials will cause dwarfing of plants, low fruiting rate and thus affect yield, so they cannot be put into actual production applications. Or the Cas9 protein can be used to cut the CP protein or IR region of the Gemini virus to achieve an antiviral effect, but there is also a risk of virus escape, resulting in more mutants, which will bring more difficulties to future virus prevention and control.

[0004] LbCas12a is a class II type V CRISPR nuclease, which is significantly different from the Cas9 protein. CRISPR / Cas12a can process crRNA by itself, and can specifically recognize and cut thymine (T)-rich PAM sites, while the Cas9 protein recognizes and cuts guanine (G)-rich PAM sites. Secondly, CRISPR / Cas12a cuts to produce sticky ends and larger deletion mutations, while Cas9 cuts to produce flat ends, most of which cause the insertion or deletion of several bases. Therefore, the mechanism of action of CRISPR / Cas12a is simpler and more conducive to multi-gene editing, which has a stronger advantage in achieving resistance to multiple viruses. In addition, LbCas12a can add more editing sites, so that while reducing the escape of geminiviruses from gene editing, it can also design crRNA for a variety of common geminiviruses at the same time, achieving the purpose of broad-spectrum resistance to geminiviruses, and providing new strategies and ideas for subsequent resistance genetic breeding. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vector and construction method and application of multiple Gemini virus infection resistance based on CRISPR / LbCas12a system. The present invention designs specific crRNA by designing the replication key sites of three Gemini viruses, Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV), Yunnan Tomato Leaf Curl Virus (TLCYnV) and Tobacco Stem Curl Virus (TbCSV), and constructs an Agrobacterium-infectious cloning vector using LbCas12a to resist three Gemini viruses.

[0006] Specifically, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
