Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of molecular biology and genetic engineering, and specifically relates to a Panax notoginseng MYB transcription factor gene with antiviral infection capabilities. PnMYB34 And its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Plant viral diseases are the second largest plant disease after fungal diseases, causing serious economic losses to agricultural production in countries around the world and becoming one of the most difficult plant diseases to control in agricultural production worldwide (Xiao Qinzhi et al. Research progress on biological control of plant viral diseases. Southern Agriculture, 2021, 15(34): 64-69). After long-term research, a relatively mature integrated control system for fungal diseases has been formed, including chemical fungicides, disease-resistant variety breeding, and cultivation management. However, plant viruses are obligate pathogens that parasitize living cells, and their replication and movement depend entirely on the metabolic system of the host plant. In addition, plants lack adaptive immune mechanisms similar to those of higher animals and cannot produce specific antibodies and immune memory, so once a virus invades, it can spread rapidly in the plant and cause systemic damage, making control extremely difficult (Anikina I, Kamarova A, Issayeva K, et al. Plant protection from virus: a review of different approaches. Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023, 14: 1163270).

[0003] Sanqi [ Panax notoginseng (Burk.) FH Chen] belongs to the genus Panax (Araliaceae). Panax This perennial herb is one of the most distinctive Chinese medicinal herbs in Yunnan Province. Its rhizome is used medicinally, possessing various effects such as relieving pain and swelling, stopping bleeding and dispersing blood stasis, enhancing immunity, and protecting the cardiovascular system (Xu Y, Zhu MJ, Feng YB, et al.). Panax notoginseng-microbiota interactions: From plant cultivation to medicinal application. Phytomedicine, 2023, 119: 154978). Modern phytochemical studies have shown that the main active components of Panax notoginseng are saponins, flavonoids, polysaccharides, etc. Among them, Panax notoginseng saponins have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cardiovascular disease treatment effects (Guo Xi et al. Research progress on the components and clinical pharmacological effects of Panax notoginseng saponins. Journal of Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 2024, 40(09): 985-992). Panax notoginseng requires long-term shade cultivation during its growth process, and the resulting warm and humid environment creates favorable conditions for the infection and spread of pathogens, especially viral diseases, which have now become one of the main diseases of Panax notoginseng.

[0004] Viral infection can significantly reduce the height, stem diameter, leaf length, leaf width, and fresh weight of Panax notoginseng plants, thereby decreasing the yield and quality of Panax notoginseng medicinal materials. Viruses that infect Panax notoginseng include cucumber mosaic virus (Cucumber mosaic virus). Cucumber mosaic virus , CMV), Tomato Mosaic Virus (CMV), Tomato mosaic virus , ToMV), Tomato Mottle Virus ( Tomato spotted wilt virus TSWV), Panax notoginseng Y virus ( Panax virus Y PnVY), Chinese tomato yellow leaf curl virus ( Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus , TYLCCNV) and its satellites ( Tomato yellow leaf curl China betasatellite , TYLCCNB), Panax notoginseng A virus ( Panax notoginseng virus A , PnVA and tobacco torsion virus (PnVA) ... Tobacco vein distorting virus , TVDV and other viruses (Chen HJ, Li WY, Chen XH, et al. Viral infections inhibit saponin biosynthesis and photosynthesis in) Panax notoginseng . Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2023, 203: 108038).

[0005] Transcription factors play a role in plant innate immunity by regulating pathogen-associated molecular patterns, effector-triggered immunity, hormone signaling pathways, and genes related to the synthesis of phytoalexins (Seo E, Choi D, Choi. Functional studies of transcription factors involved in plant defenses in the genomics era. Briefings in Functional Genomics, 2015, 14(4): 260-267). MYB is one of the largest transcription factor families in plants, and its identification and functions have been extensively studied in plants. Its roles include regulating secondary metabolism, controlling plant development, and participating in the physiological and biochemical processes of responses to biotic and abiotic stresses (Chen X, Mao YC, Chai WG, et al. Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of MYB gene family under nitrogen stress in Panax notoginseng . Protoplasma, 2023, 260(1): 189-205). MYB transcription factors are divided into four major subfamilies based on the number of adjacent repetitive sequences in the MYB domain: R1-MYB, R2R3-MYB, 3R-MYB, and 4R-MYB (Stracke R, Werber M, Weisshaar B. The R2R3-MYB gene family in Arabidopsis thaliana Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2001, 4(5): 447-456). Among them, R2R3-MYB transcription factors are the most numerous subclass in plants and have been identified in many plant species. A total of 437 R2R3-MYB gene family members have been identified in blueberries (Wang HY, Zhai LL, Wang SW, et al. Identification of R2R3-MYBThe family in blueberry and its potential involvement of anthocyanin biosynthesis in fruits. BMCGenomics, 2023, 24(1): 505); 131 R2R3-MYB gene family members were identified in sweet potatoes (Li MX, Zhou YP, Li KF, et al. Genome-Wide comparative analysis of the R2R3-MYB gene family in six Ipomoea species and the identification of anthocyanin-related members in sweet potatoes. Plants (Basel), 2023, 12(8): 1731).

[0006] Transcription factors regulate the defense network in plant-pathogen interactions and are key targets for genetic engineering to enhance crop stress resistance. In terms of antifungal activity, in apples, MdMYB54 interacts with MdERF114 to synergistically activate cell wall synthesis-related genes, thereby enhancing resistance to Fusarium solani (Tomato rot fungus). Fusarium solani Physical defense resistance (Liu QW, Chen X, Li SJ, et al. MdMYB54 reduces disease severity caused by) Fusarium solani In apples, the transcription factor SmMYB44 modulates cell wall cellulose and pectate lyase-dependent defense. (The Plant Journal, 2025, 121(2): e17206). Regarding antibacterial activity, SmMYB44 activates the spermine synthase gene. SmSPDS The expression of [something] promotes spermidine accumulation, thereby enhancing the eggplant's resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum (…). Ralstonia solanacearumThe resistance to bacterial wilt (Qiu ZK, Yan SS, Xia B, et al. The eggplant transcription factor MYB44 enhances resistance to bacterial wilt by activating the expression of spermidine synthase. Journal of experimental botany, 2019, 70(19): 5343-5354). In terms of antiviral activity, the R2R3 type MYB transcription factor OsMYB4P in rice can activate the jasmonic acid signaling pathway, significantly enhancing the resistance of rice to Southern Rice Black-Streaked Dwarf Virus (SMR). Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus, SRBSDV) and rice stripe virus ( Rice stripe virus , Broad-spectrum resistance to RSV (Lu MM, He QQ, Wang GD, et al. JA-responsive R2R3-type MYBtranscription factor OsMYB4P confers broad-spectrum antiviral immunity in rice. Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2025, 23(10): 4602-4617). Nicotiana benthamiana ( Nicotiana benthamiana NbMYB4L enhances the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase through the ethylene signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting tobacco mosaic virus infection and enhancing the resistance of Nicotiana benthamiana to TMV (Zhu T, Zhou X, Zhang JL, et al. Ethylene-induced NbMYB4L is involved in resistance against tobacco mosaic virus in Nicotiana benthamiana . Molecular Plant Pathology, 2022, 23(1): 16-31). Summary of the Invention
