Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, in particular to a cucumber infectious nucleic acid derived from watermelon silver mottle virus and a construction method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cucumber (Cucumissativus L) is one of the important vegetable crops in my country. However, in recent years, cucumber diseases have become increasingly serious, becoming an important factor restricting cucumber production, seriously affecting cucumber yield and quality.

[0003] Watermelon silver mottle virus disease is caused by watermelon silver mottle virus, which belongs to the genus Orthotospovirus of the family Tospoviridae. Watermelon silver mottle virus disease is difficult to control in production, and no specific drug has been developed to prevent and control plant viral diseases. Currently, the two main methods of control are transplanting healthy seedlings and spraying pesticides. However, pesticides can prevent and control thrips but cannot effectively prevent the virus from infecting. Moreover, the use of chemical agents for control will pollute the environment and have high costs. Therefore, early targeted prevention and control of watermelon silver mottle virus is particularly important for breeding anti-virus varieties. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention is based on the suspected virus infection symptoms such as mottled and deformed leaves of some cucumber plants found in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. In order to further clarify the virus types that cause cucumber-related symptoms, the inventors identified the virus types of the collected cucumber samples from the suspected virus-infected cucumber samples by the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction method. The results showed that the cucumber samples with disease in the field were caused by a complex infection of multiple viruses including watermelon silver mottle virus. This is the first time that watermelon silver mottle virus was found to infect cucumbers under natural conditions in Hebei Province. Further studies have found that the virus sequences in cucumber plants infected with watermelon silver mottle virus in the field have certain complexity and diversity, and exchange and recombination may occur between different virus isolates. In the process of RNA virus replication, RNA as genetic material is prone to gene replacement, deletion and insertion. The genome sequence of the watermelon silver mottle virus introduced into Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province has changed significantly.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] This example shows the cloning of the full-length sequence of watermelon silver mottle virus in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province.

[0057] Extract plant virus samples collected in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province ( Figure 1 ) RNA was reverse transcribed to synthesize cDNA. Based on the non-cucumber-infectious watermelon silver mottle virus isolate viruses included in GeneBank (NC_003832.1 / NC_003841.1 / NC_003843.1), segmented primers were designed to amplify the sequence of the watermelon silver mottle virus Shijiazhuang isolate ( Figure 2 ), and the PCR primer sequences are shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 to SEQ ID NO. 14. The amplified sequences were sequenced and analyzed to be different from the known sequences.

[0058] After PCR amplification, the target fragment was recovered, connected to the sequencing vector and transformed into E. coli, and a single colony was picked for PCR detection. A single colony with the correct band size was picked and sent to Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for sequencing. The sequence was then spliced, where LRNA was 8915 bp long, the sequence was shown in SEQ ID NO.15, MRNA was 4927 bp long, the sequence was shown in SEQ ID NO.16, and S RNA was 3602 bp long, the sequence was shown in SEQ ID NO.17.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] This example shows the construction of recombinant pCB301-CH-WSMoV-L, M and S infectious cloning vectors.

[0061] Based on the low-copy, high-stability pCB301-CH vector, the complete genome of watermelon silver mottle virus was integrated to generate pCB301-CH-WSMoV-L, pCB301-CH-WSMoV-M and pCB301-CH-WSMoV-S vectors, and recombinant viral vectors were constructed. Stbl3 Escherichia coli competent cells were used to reduce the probability of erroneous recombination, so that the full-length cDNA clone of watermelon silver mottle virus could be stably replicated in Escherichia coli and form Agrobacterium-mediated infectious clones. The specific process is as follows:

[0062] According to the full-length sequence of the plant virus samples collected in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, and the homology arm sequence of the linearized vector, the segmented homologous recombination primers were designed, and the high-fidelity enzyme of Quanshijin Company was used. FastPfu Fly DNA Polymerase was used to perform PCR amplification using cDNA reverse transcribed from WSMoV-L RNA, WSMoV-M RNA, and WSMoV-S RNA as templates. The PCR products were subjected to 1% agarose gel electrophoresis and recovered by gel excision. The pCB301-CH vector was double-digested with StuⅠ and SmaⅠ, and the linearized vector fragment was excised and recovered according to -Basic Seamless Cloning and Assembly Kit was used to establish a homologous recombination reaction system. The recombinant product was transformed into Stbl3 Escherichia coli competent cells, and a single colony was picked for PCR detection. A single colony of the correct size was picked and sent to Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd. for sequencing. After sequencing verification, the plasmid was extracted and transformed into Agrobacterium EHA105, and the strain was stored at -80℃.

[0063] Example 3

[0064] This example shows the establishment of a cucumber inoculation system of the Hebei strain of watermelon silver mottle virus.

[0065] The constructed Agrobacterium watermelon silver mottle virus infectious cDNA clone was used as the virus source to infect cucumber varieties 9930, T8163, T8164 and T8165, observe the symptoms of the plants, and establish a stable watermelon silver mottle virus inoculation system. The YN-F / R primers for the nucleocapsid protein (N) gene of the watermelon silver mottle virus provided by the present invention were used to measure the virus copy number in the plant after inoculation, and the disease resistance of the variety was determined according to the virus content in the plant and the disease condition of the plant. The specific process is as follows:

[0066] (1) Seed sterilization: Select complete and full cucumber seeds and place them in a sterilized triangular flask. Sterilize with 75% ethanol for about 1 minute, gently shake them to make them fully contact, and then rinse them three times with sterile water. Rinse with 2-3% NaClO for 10 minutes, gently shake them to make them fully contact, and then rinse them 3-5 times with sterile water. Transfer the seeds to a sterilized culture dish, absorb the surface moisture with filter paper, and use tweezers to evenly spread the seeds on the MS culture medium. Pre-culture at 25-28℃ in the dark for about 3 days (the germination speed of seeds of different cucumber varieties is inconsistent, and the next step can be carried out when 1 / 2-1 / 3 of the cotyledons are exposed from the seed coat).

[0067] (2) Culture the Agrobacterium tumefaciens that is infectious to watermelon silver mottle virus in liquid LB medium overnight, centrifuge and discard the supernatant to obtain the bacteria, and resuspend them in infection buffer (10mM 3-(N-morpholino)ethane sulfonic acid (MES), 10mMMgCl2, 200μM acetosyringone (AS) and 5% (w / v) sucrose) for later use. Use the heated tweezers to take the germinated seeds and place them in a culture dish. Cut off the 1 / 3 cotyledonary node away from the hypocotyl, and the remaining part is used as the explant to be transformed. Use a blade to make several wounds on the explant to facilitate infection. Transfer the explants to the prepared infection buffer and soak them for 15 minutes. During this period, gently shake the explants to ensure full contact with the bacterial solution, and then use filter paper to absorb the surface moisture. Evenly place the explants on MS (200μM AS) co-culture medium and culture them in the dark. After 2 days, plant them in sterile nutrient soil, cover them to keep them moist until they survive, and culture them in an incubator away from insects to continuously observe the symptoms ( Figure 3 ).

[0068] Example 4

[0069] Premier 5.0 software was used to perform real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR using primers YN-F / R. The cDNA of the cucumber sample positive for watermelon silver mottle virus was used as a template for PCR amplification using YN-F / R, and the correct band was cut and recovered. The recovered PCR product was ligated to -Blunt Simple Cloning Vector. The clones with correct sequencing were selected for bacterial culture and plasmid extraction. The concentration of the extracted plasmid was 168.4 ng / μL. The copy number of the recombinant plasmid was calculated to be 3.77×10 10 copies / μL. Select a dilution gradient of 10 -3 -10 -7 The plasmid standard was used to prepare the standard curve. The corresponding dilution gradient was 10 -3 -10 -7 The copy number of the plasmid standard is 3.77×10 7 -3.77×10 3 copies / μL( Figure 4 A).

[0070] According to the obtained amplification curve, the concentration of the template used is proportional to the number of cycles that can detect the fluorescence signal within a certain range. When the concentration of the template exceeds a certain value, the Ct value is too small, causing the fluorescence intensity to enter the plateau phase prematurely, which will make the detection value not conform to the linear relationship; on the contrary, when the Ct value exceeds 35, it does not conform to the linear relationship. Therefore, in the experiment, the Ct values ​​of the plasmid standard samples with 5 concentration gradients that are all within the measurable effective range are selected to prepare the standard curve. Figure 4 B) The slope of the standard curve was -3.7878, and the relative R was 0.9994. 2 This result shows that the prepared standard curve has a good linear relationship, and the regression equation is y=-4.093x+40.614 (y represents the Ct value, x represents the logarithmic value of the plasmid copy number). This regression equation can be used to calculate the starting copy number of the unknown sample to be tested.

[0071] The YN-F / R primer sequences are as follows:

[0072] YN-F: 5'-TGACGTTGGACCTGAAGACT-3', the sequence of which is as SEQ No. 18;

[0073] YN-R: 5'-TGCTAGTCCCCTTATGCTGG-3', its sequence is as SEQ No.19.

[0074] The selected copy number is 3.77×10 1 -3.77×10 10 The YN plasmid sample with 10 copies / μL was used as a template, and YN-F / R primers were used for RT-qPCR and conventional RT-PCR reactions. The results showed that the RT-qPCR detection method could detect a minimum of 3.77×10 2copies / μL of plasmid sample ( Figure 4 C), conventional RT-PCR detection method can only detect 3.68×104 copies / μL of plasmid samples ( Figure 4 D) shows that the sensitivity of RT-qPCR detection using YN-F / R primers is about 100 times higher than that of conventional RT-PCR detection method.

[0075] Example 5

[0076] This example shows the symptoms of cucumber infected with watermelon silver mottle virus and the detection of watermelon silver mottle virus content.

[0077] The 9930, T8163, T8164 and T8165 used in this example are different codes for cucumber varieties; the 9930, T8163, T8164 and T8165 cucumber varieties used are all derived from germplasm resources preserved in this laboratory.

[0078] The inoculation system of Example 3 was used to infect cucumber varieties 9930, T8163, T8164 and T8165, and the YN-F / R primers were used to detect the virus content in the inoculated plants. The experimental results are shown in Tables 1 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, 9930, T8163, T8164 and T8165 can all be infected with the watermelon silver mottle virus 15 days after infection, and the disease is more serious after 30 days. The symptoms of leaf disease are basically the same: leaves are wrinkled, deformed, yellowed, and faded.

The method is simple to operate, has high inoculation efficiency, and has stable symptoms, and can be used for large-scale inoculation.
