Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, in particular to a tea tree CsPR10-5 gene and its application in enhancing the resistance of tea trees to anthracnose. BACKGROUND

[0002] Tea tree is one of the most important economic crops in China. Tea contains many substances beneficial to the human body, such as flavonoids, tea polyphenols, alkaloids, and soluble sugars. The biological characteristics of tea trees, which prefer warm and humid environments, determine that their growth cannot be separated from warm and humid environments, which provides favorable conditions for the occurrence of anthracnose. Tea tree anthracnose is a fungal disease that is prone to spread in late spring, early summer, and autumn, mainly damaging tea tree leaves and tender shoots, leading to leaf loss, weakened tree vigor, reduced tea yield, and decreased tea quality. Currently, research on tea tree anthracnose has mainly focused on differential expression analysis based on transcriptomics and proteomics, but the mining of defense-related genes and their biological functions in mediating tea tree resistance to disease are not clear, and their application in disease resistance is insufficient.

[0003] Chinese patent application document with publication number CN118440954A discloses a tea tree CsLAC23 gene and its application in resisting infection by anthracnose fungus. The patent also proposes the application of tea tree CsLAC23 gene in regulating tea tree anthracnose infection and in breeding new tea tree varieties resistant to anthracnose. It also proposes an antisense oligonucleotide that inhibits the expression of CsLAC23 gene. After inhibiting the expression of CsLAC23 gene and performing anthracnose fungus infection, it is found through tissue staining and determination of active oxygen content that the DAB and NBT staining effects of tea tree leaves after inhibiting the expression of CsLAC23 gene are more obvious than those of the control group, and the activities of key enzymes POD and SOD in the ROS scavenging system are lower than those of the control group. Tea trees are more sensitive to anthracnose infection after inhibiting the expression of CsLAC23 gene, indicating that CsLAC23 enhances the resistance of tea trees to anthracnose stress. However, there is no report on whether other tea tree genes also have the effect of resisting anthracnose fungus infection. SUMMARY

[0042] 2. Expression pattern of CsPR10-5 gene under infection of C. gloeosprioides

[0043] Select 2-year-old 'Longjing 43' cuttings with consistent growth and no pests and diseases, and cultivate them in an artificial climate chamber at Anhui Agricultural University (temperature 25°C, humidity 70%, 16h light, 8h darkness). Use an inoculation needle to carefully inoculate the mycelium on a PDA plate, and cultivate it at 28°C in the dark for 7-10 days. Perform aseptic operations throughout. Add ddH2O to the plate, and use a sterile spreader to scrape the pathogenic fungal spores from the plate, filter them with sterile gauze, and then transfer them to a sterile conical flask. Use a vortex to evenly distribute the fungal spores in the liquid. Use a hemocytometer to count the spores under an optical microscope, dilute them with sterile water, and prepare a spore suspension of 10 7 CFU / mL. Wipe the two leaves of the tea seedlings with 75% ethanol, and then wipe them again with ddH2O. Let the water on the leaves evaporate. Use a large needle to make a rosette-shaped hole in the leaves, and add 50uL of the spore suspension to each side. The control group is treated with sterile water. Then wrap the leaves with plastic wrap, and cover the entire tea seedling with a large plastic bag. Place it in the artificial climate chamber and maintain a humidity of 70% or higher. Take samples at 1, 4, 7, 10, and 13 days, and immediately freeze them in liquid nitrogen. Store them at -80°C for later use.

[0044] Extract the RNA and reverse transcribe it into cDNA. Dilute the reverse transcription product 9-fold as a template, use 2x AceQ Universal qPCR Master Mix (Vazyme, Nanjing, China), and prepare a 10uL reaction system: 5uL 2x AceQ Universal qPCR Master Mix, 1.2uL diluted reverse transcription product, 0.3uL of each upstream and downstream primer, and 3.2uL ddH2O.

The qRT-PCR technique detects the expression level of CsPR10-5 gene at different time points of the infection of the anthracnose disease, as shown in Figure 1 , and it can be seen from Figure 1 that, compared with the water treatment control group (CK), the expression level of CsPR10-5 gene in the anthracnose fungus infection treatment group (Cg) is significantly increased at 1, 4, 7, 10, and 13d, with the most obvious increase at 7d.

[0045] 3. Expression pattern and subcellular localization of CsPR10-5 gene in tea plants

[0046] (1) Expression pattern of CsPR10-5 gene in different tissues of tea plants

[0047] Different tissues including bud, one leaf, two leaves, three leaves, mature leaf, stem, flower and root were collected from the national tea cultivar 'Shuchazao'. Eight samples were used for total RNA extraction and cDNA first strand synthesis. Quantitative analysis was performed as described above, and the results are shown in Fig. 1. The CsPR10-5 gene was expressed in all eight organs, with the highest expression in flowers, followed by fruits, and the expression in mature leaves was significantly higher than that in young leaves and buds. Figure 2

[0048] The upstream primer was 5'-ACCCAGCAGGATGTTCAAG-3'(SEQ ID NO. 6), and the downstream primer was 5'-CTTGATGCTTCCAACACCAC-3'(SEQ ID NO. 7).

[0049] The downstream primer was 5'-CTTGATGCTTCCAACACCAC-3'(SEQ ID NO. 7).

[0050] (2) Subcellular localization of tea CsPR10-5 protein

[0051] ① Construction of the expression vector of the target gene

[0052] The pCAMBIA1305 vector was double-digested with Spe I and BamH I restriction enzymes, and then subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis and gel recovery after 37°C reaction for 30 min to obtain a linearized vector with a restriction enzyme site. The plasmid was amplified with primers with a restriction enzyme site using the target gene plasmid as a template to obtain a target gene fragment with a restriction enzyme site. The upstream primer was 5'-GACAGCCCAGATCACTAGTATGGGTGTAACTACTTTTACC-3'(SEQ ID NO. 8), and the downstream primer was 5'-CTTGCTCACCATGGATCCAGCATAAACATCAGGGTTTGCT-3'(SEQ ID NO. 9). The product with a restriction enzyme site linker sequence and the linearized vector were recombined using recombinant enzyme, and the reaction system was 10 μL: linearized pCAMBIA1305 vector 4 μL, product with a restriction enzyme site linker sequence 2 μL, recombinant enzyme E×nase II 1 μL, 5×CE II Buffer 2 μL, added in order in a 200 μL PCR tube. The reaction was performed at 37°C for 60 min. The recombined product was transformed into E. coli competent cells Trans1-T1, and the pCAMBIA1305-CsPR10-5 plasmid was obtained by sequencing by General Biosystems.

[0053] ② Agrobacterium transformation and tobacco infection

[0054] ​The above recombinant plasmid 1 uL was added to EHA105 Agrobacterium competent, placed on ice for 5 min, liquid nitrogen for 5 min, 37°C for 5 min, then placed on ice for 5 min, added 400 uL liquid LB medium, then shaken in a 28°C shaker for 2 h, finally 200 uL bacterial liquid was absorbed and coated on solid LB medium containing Kan + resistance, 28°C dark culture for 48 h. Single colonies were picked for PCR verification, and colonies with identical band positions to the target band positions were added to 400 uL liquid LB medium containing Kan + resistance, 28°C shaker culture for 8 h. 100 uL bacterial liquid was absorbed into 50 mL liquid LB medium containing Kan + resistance, 28°C shaker culture for 12 h until the OD value was between 0.8 and 1. The bacterial liquid was centrifuged (5000 r / min, 10 min), the supernatant was discarded, the bacterial body was resuspended with Agrobacterium resuspension liquid, and the resuspended bacterial liquid was made to have an OD value of 0.4-0.6 at 600 nm by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. Room temperature standing for 1 h. The bacterial liquid was injected into tobacco with a syringe to fill the entire leaf, and was placed in a dark artificial climate chamber for 48 h.

[0055] The infected part of the tobacco leaf was carefully cut with a blade, and the back was made into a slide with the back facing up, and the GFP signal was observed under laser confocal. The subcellular localization results are shown in Figure 3 GFP: green fluorescent protein, excitation wavelength 488 nm, emission wavelength 509 nm; DAPI: nuclear localization marker; Bright: bright field, used to show cell structure; mCherry: membrane localization marker, excitation wavelength 587 nm, emission wavelength 610 nm; Merge: GFP, DAPI, Bright and mCherry fusion photo. It can be seen that the CsPR10-5 protein is located in the cytoplasm and cell membrane.

[0056] 4. DNAse activity verification of CsPR10-5 protein

[0057] The tea tree 'Shuchaya' genome DAN as a reference template, with 10 mM Tris-HCl (PH7.5), 2.5 mM Mgcl2, 0.5 mM CaCl2 mixture 10 ul as reaction buffer, each hole is added 2 uL tea tree DNA and 10 ul reaction buffer, 5 ul of 6 x DNA loading buffer, positive control for 2 uL DNase enzyme (brand white shark), experimental group for 10 ng CsPR10-5 protein, negative control for GST empty load 10 ng, 100 ℃ boiled denaturation CsPR10-5 protein 10 ng. Reaction conditions for 37 ℃ water bath reaction 10 min, after the reaction, each PCR tube is added 4 uL stop solution (50 mM EDTA), mix well and place on ice for 5 min, then all sample on 1% agarose gel, in 1 x TBE solution at 80 V voltage run gel 30 min, under UV light to observe the band. Results as shown in Figure 4 The active CsPR10-5 protein is added, the DNA is completely degraded, and the DNA is not degraded in the inactive protein control group (GST and boiled CsPR10-5), indicating that the CsPR10-5 protein has DNA enzyme degradation activity.

[0058] 5. Tobacco transient expression verifies the function of CsPR10-5 against anthrax

[0059] (1) The pCAMBIA1305-CsPR10-5 plasmid is transformed into Agrobacterium, and the growth is verified. Select the nicotiana benthamiana which grows for about 3 weeks and has consistent growth, and divide the tobacco leaves into 4 parts, as shown in Figure 5 . Use a syringe to inject pCAMBIA1305 and pCAMBIA1305-CsPR10-5 bacterial solution into the tobacco body, and ensure that the injection amount of the two bacterial solutions is equal.

[0060] (2) After 48 h, observe whether it is expressed under the laser confocal microscope. After confirming the expression, use a large needle to prick the injection site into a flower shape, and then use the anthrax mycelium block to infect, and wrap it with preservative film. The blank culture medium is used as a control. After 2 d, observe the phenotype of tobacco and take pictures. As shown in Figure 5 B, the tobacco leaves without anthrax mycelium block infection do not show obvious phenotype, and the corresponding chlorophyll fluorescence also does not show obvious change; after the anthrax mycelium block infection, the tobacco leaves are obviously yellow, and the leaves of the control part are extremely dark and have begun to necrosis. As shown in Figure 5 C, the chlorophyll fluorescence shows that the diseased area of the tobacco leaves after overexpression of CsPR10-5 protein is smaller and the disease degree is lighter than that of pCAMBIA-1305 empty load, and the yellow part is also less; it is found that the diseased area of the tobacco leaves after overexpression of CsPR10-5 protein is significantly lower than that of the control group (as shown in Figure 5Figure 6 shows the expression of CsPR10-5 in tea plant leaves after inoculation with P. theae.

[0061] (3) Peroxidase activity and hydrogen peroxide content determination

[0062] The tobacco leaves were sampled and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. The contents of active oxygen and hydrogen peroxide were then determined according to the method described in 5 above. Compared with the pCAMBIA-1305 empty vector, the overexpression of CsPR10-5 resulted in less damage to the tobacco leaves, and the activities of peroxidase POD and superoxide dismutase SOD were significantly increased (as shown in Figs. 6E-F), while the content of H2O2 was significantly reduced (as shown in Fig. 6G). This indicates that CsPR10-5 mediates the resistance of tea plants to P. theae infection. Figure 5 Figure 5 6. Anti-sense inhibition verifies the anti-P. theae function of CsPR10-5

[0063] 6. Anti-sense inhibition verifies the anti-P. theae function of CsPR10-5

[0064] (1) Design of anti-sense inhibition probe

[0065] According to the gene sequence of CsPR10-5, an anti-sense oligonucleotide and a control positive-sense oligonucleotide were designed, and the specific names and sequences are as follows:

[0066] AsODN: 5'-TGGTGGTGAACTCTTTGGTA-3'; (SEQ ID NO. 3)

[0067] sODN: 5'-TTGGCATCGTTGAGGGTCT-3'. (SEQ ID NO. 8)

[0068] The designed probes were sent to Shanghai Shengong Biological Company for synthesis, and the concentration was diluted to 100 μM with ddH2O.

[0069] (2) Anti-sense inhibition and P. theae infection

[0070] ① One-year-old 'Longjing 43' cuttings with consistent growth and no pests and diseases were selected, and 1 mL of the diluted probe was injected into the second leaf with a syringe. Water and random chains were used as controls, and 12 h later, the second leaf was frozen in liquid nitrogen, RNA was extracted, and cDNA obtained by reverse transcription was used as a template for qPCR verification to screen the best probe (SEQ ID NO. 3). The best probe selected in the previous step was injected into the tea seedlings, and water and random primers were also injected. RNA was extracted at 8, 12, and 24 h, and after reverse transcription, fluorescent quantitative PCR verification was performed to screen the best time point for inhibition effect. As shown in Fig. 6A, the expression level of CsPR10-5 was significantly lower than that of the control group (H2O and sODN) 12 h after anti-sense inhibition. Figure 6

[0071] ​​② The best antisense probe was used to treat tea seedlings, and water and random chain were used as controls. 12h later, the tea leaves were infected with the spore suspension of Colletotrichum globerum. The leaves were taken 3d after infection and the control leaves were used for phenotype observation and IMAGE-PAM modulated fluorescence instrument (Germany, WALZ) observation.

[0072] ③ Tissue chemical staining of tea leaves after antisense inhibition

[0073] The tea leaves in which the CsPR10-5 gene was inhibited for 12h were infected with the spore suspension of Colletotrichum globerum, and the infected leaves were carefully taken out 3d later for analysis of the damage degree. The specific steps are as follows: prepare 50mM sodium phosphate buffer (16mL 1M sodium dihydrogen phosphate, 84mL 1M disodium hydrogen phosphate, and pure water to 2L, pH adjusted to 7.5), nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) staining solution (0.1g NBT dissolved in 50mL sodium phosphate buffer), 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining solution (0.05g DAB dissolved in 45mL sodium phosphate buffer, pH adjusted to 3.8, and finally made up to 50mL with sodium phosphate buffer); take the inoculated leaves and put them into the NBT and DAB staining solutions, respectively, incubate the NBT staining at 37℃ for 3h and the DAB staining at 37℃ for 8h; the stained leaves are placed in 95% alcohol to remove chlorophyll, and the leaf phenotype is observed (as shown in Figure 6 Fig. B).

[0074] (3) Physiological index determination of tea leaves infected with Colletotrichum globerum after CsPR10-5 gene silencing

[0075] ① The area of the lesion after antisense inhibition was counted, and the ImageJ software was used for area calculation, and the number of samples for each treatment was 28 tea leaves. As shown in Figure 6 Fig. C, the lesion area of the antisense inhibition group (AsODN) was significantly larger than that of the control group (H2O and sODN).

[0076] ② Determination of hydrogen peroxide content and peroxidase activity

[0077] The H2O2 content and POD and SOD enzyme activity of the tea leaves after 3d of antisense inhibition and pathogen infection were determined. The specific steps are as follows: total protein extraction, weigh 0.06g of sample and grind into powder with liquid nitrogen, then transfer to a pre-cooled mortar on ice and add 540uL of 10×PBS; centrifuge at 12,000g for 10min, and take the supernatant for determination; according to the instruction manual of the H2O2, POD and SOD test kit (Nanjing Jiancheng), detect the H2O2 content, POD and SOD enzyme activity. The results are as shown in Figure 6As shown in D-F, after the anthracnose fungus infects the tea plant leaves, compared with ddH2O and sODN treatment, the H2O2 content significantly increases, and the POD and SOD enzyme activities significantly decrease after the expression of CsPR10-5 gene is inhibited. These results show that the CsPR10-5 gene enhances the resistance of tea plants to anthracnose by positively regulating the antioxidant enzyme system and maintaining the balance of active oxygen metabolism. Its silence not only reduces the activity of antioxidant enzymes, but also exacerbates the accumulation of active oxygen, leading to enhanced oxidative stress, and ultimately weakens the disease resistance of tea plants.
