Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pathogen detection technology, and in particular to the application of the wheat AvrLr15 gene, primer set, and kit in the detection and / or identification of wheat leaf rust virulence. Background Technology

[0002] Wheat leaf rust is a fungal disease caused by *Puccinia tirticina*, and it is one of the most widespread and serious wheat diseases, causing yield reductions and significant economic losses in major wheat-producing areas. The rational use and distribution of wheat varieties containing disease-resistant genes is an economical, safe, and effective method for controlling the occurrence and spread of wheat leaf rust. However, large-scale planting of a single disease-resistant variety can exert selective pressure on the virulence genes of the pathogen population due to the resistance genes, leading to the loss of rust resistance in the host wheat and subsequently triggering disease outbreaks, causing severe losses to wheat production. Therefore, virulence monitoring of wheat leaf rust populations in the field is crucial for guiding the breeding and proper use of rust-resistant wheat varieties in production practices.

[0003] With advancements in molecular-level technologies, methods such as molecular fingerprinting, molecular markers, and gene amplification have begun to be applied to the identification of wheat leaf rust fungi. These methods mainly include restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), random amplified fragment length polymorphism (RAPD), simple repeat sequence analysis (SSR), sequence-associated amplified polymorphism (AFLP), and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis. Although numerous molecular markers, such as AFLP, RAPD, SSR, and EST-SSR, have been developed based on conventional PCR detection methods, specific molecular markers for the virulence / avirulence genes of specific wheat leaf rust fungi are rarely reported.

[0004] The wheat leaf rust resistance gene Lr15 is a seedling-stage resistance gene located on wheat chromosome 2D. When co-existing with adult-stage resistance genes, this gene significantly enhances the rust resistance of wheat plants. Currently, the Lr15 gene still provides good resistance to most physiological races of wheat leaf rust fungi. Therefore, to prevent the loss of resistance to the Lr15 gene, it is urgent to develop reasonable and effective control measures. However, existing technologies lack direct and effective detection or identification methods to determine the toxicity of wheat leaf rust fungi to wheat plants containing the Lr15 gene. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide the application of the wheat AvrLr15 gene, primer set, and kit in the detection and / or identification of wheat leaf rust virulence, so as to solve the problem that the existing technology cannot directly and effectively detect and / or identify the virulence of wheat leaf rust to wheat plants containing the Lr15 gene.

[0014] The present invention also provides the application of the kit in detecting and / or identifying the virulence of wheat leaf rust fungi.

[0015] The present invention has the following technical effects and advantages: the primer set of the present invention can stably detect specific bands in wheat leaf rust fungi that are non-toxic to the wheat leaf rust resistant material TcLr15, while no corresponding bands are amplified in wheat leaf rust fungi that are toxic to TcLr15. This indicates that the primer set of the present invention can directly detect and identify the toxicity of wheat leaf rust fungi to TcLr15, and has good specificity, reliability and stability. It is applicable to all tested wheat leaf rust fungi. Therefore, it can be used as a primer set for specific molecular markers to detect and / or identify the toxicity of wheat leaf rust fungi to TcLr15.

[0058] (2) Obtaining the genome of wheat leaf rust fungi: The genomic DNA of urediniospores of 21 physiological races of wheat leaf rust fungi in Table 1 and 120 wheat leaf rust fungi standard samples in Table 2 were extracted in large quantities using the CTAB method disclosed by Huang et al. in the literature (Huang X, Zeller FJ, HsamSL, et al. Chromosomal location of AFLP markers in common wheat utilizing nulli-tetrasomic stocks[J]. Genome, 2000, 43(2):298-305). The genomic DNA of each wheat leaf rust fungi was obtained and its concentration was adjusted to 30 ng / μL to obtain the DNA template of each wheat leaf rust fungi.

[0059] Example 2: Detection of β-Actin internal reference gene in wheat leaf rust fungus

[0060] Using the genomic DNA of urediniospores from the 21 physiological races of wheat leaf rust fungi in Table 1 and the 120 wheat leaf rust fungi standards in Table 2 as DNA templates for each wheat leaf rust fungus, and using β-Actin internal reference gene primers as detection primers (as shown in Table 4), the β-Actin internal reference gene of each wheat leaf rust fungus was detected, with ddH2O as a control. Specifically:

[0061] The detection system was constructed as follows: The detection system consisted of 12.5 μL of 2×Es Taq MasterMix, 1 μL of β-Actin-F primer at a concentration of 5 mmol / L, 1 μL of β-Actin-R primer at a concentration of 5 mmol / L, 1 μL of DNA templates of various wheat leaf rust fungi at a concentration of 30 ng / μL, and the remainder ddH2O.

[0062] The detection program was set as follows: PCR amplification was performed at 94℃ for 1 min, followed by denaturation at 94℃ for 30 s, annealing at 59℃ for 1 min, and extension at 72℃ for 2 min, for a total of 35 cycles. A final extension at 72℃ for 10 min was then performed to obtain the PCR amplification products. Each PCR amplification product was subjected to 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. The detection results of the β-Actin internal reference gene in each wheat leaf rust fungus are as follows: Figures 1-2 As shown.

[0064] Primer name Sequence (5'~3') SEQ ID NO. β-Actin-F GTTCTACAACGAGCTCCGTGTC 8 β-Actin-R GACATACATTGCTGGGCAAC 9

[0065] The results showed that the β-Actin internal reference gene band was successfully amplified from the DNA templates of the 21 physiological races of wheat leaf rust in Table 1 and the 120 wheat leaf rust standards in Table 2, indicating that the DNA templates of each wheat leaf rust can be used for virulence detection.

[0066] Example 3: Virulence detection of wheat leaf rust

[0067] Using the genomic DNA of urediniospores from the 21 physiological races of wheat leaf rust in Table 1 and the 120 wheat leaf rust standards in Table 2 as DNA templates for each wheat leaf rust, and the primer set described in Example 1 as detection primers, the virulence of each wheat leaf rust was tested, with ddH2O as a control. Specifically:

[0069] (2) Setting up the detection program: The PCR amplification program was set as follows: 94℃ pre-denaturation for 1 min, followed by 94℃ denaturation for 30 s → 59℃ annealing for 1 min → 72℃ extension for 2 min, for a total of 35 cycles, and finally 72℃ extension for 10 min to obtain the PCR amplification products; each PCR amplification product was subjected to 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, and the virulence detection results of each wheat leaf rust fungus were as follows. Figures 3-4 As shown;

[0070] The 21 physiological races of wheat leaf rust fungi listed in Table 1 were inoculated onto wheat leaf rust resistant material TcLr15 and wheat susceptible material Thatcher, respectively. The pathogenic phenotypes of each wheat leaf rust physiological race on wheat plants were observed, and the results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown.

[0071] The results showed that, using the primer set of the present invention for virulence detection, no bands were amplified in 7 physiological races of wheat leaf rust that are virulent to TcLr15 and 21 wheat leaf rust standards that are virulent to TcLr15, but bands of approximately 291 bp were amplified in 14 physiological races of wheat leaf rust that are not virulent to TcLr15 and 99 wheat leaf rust standards that are not virulent to TcLr15. Furthermore, the virulence detection results were completely consistent with the pathogenic phenotype of each physiological race of wheat leaf rust on wheat plants, indicating that the primer set of the present invention can be used to detect and identify the virulence of wheat leaf rust to TcLr15.

[0072] Example 4: Virulence detection of wheat leaf rust

[0073] The virulence of wheat leaf rust fungus was tested using the method described in Example 3, except that in this example:

[0075] The PCR amplification program was set as follows: 94℃ pre-denaturation for 1 min, followed by 94℃ denaturation for 30 s → 62℃ annealing for 1 min → 72℃ extension for 2 min, for a total of 30 cycles, and finally 72℃ extension for 10 min to obtain the PCR amplification product.

[0076] Example 5: Virulence detection of wheat leaf rust

[0079] The PCR amplification program was set as follows: 94℃ pre-denaturation for 1 min, followed by 94℃ denaturation for 30 s → 58℃ annealing for 1 min → 72℃ extension for 2 min, for a total of 30 cycles, and finally 72℃ extension for 10 min to obtain the PCR amplification product.

[0080] The results showed that, after repeated virulence tests, specific bands were consistently detected in wheat leaf rust fungi that were non-toxic to TcLr15, while no corresponding bands were amplified in wheat leaf rust fungi that were toxic to TcLr15. This indicates that the primer set of the present invention has good specificity, reliability, and stability, and is applicable to all tested wheat leaf rust fungi. Therefore, it can be used as a primer set for detecting and / or identifying the virulence of wheat leaf rust fungi to TcLr15.
