Abstract: | The wilt defense reaction of cotton is a complicated continuous process and involves a battery of genes. In this study, we adopted the suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) technique to isolate differentially expressed ESTs from Gossypium barbadense variety 7124 during the Verticillium wilt defense process. An array of 1165 clones from the subtractive library has been screened with reverse northern blotting, of which 131 ESTs were considered as overexpressed and 16 ESTs were downregulated. Sequence analysis and blast search showed that 83 ESTs were homologous to 45 unique sequences in the databases. Among all these differentially expressed ESTs, at least three kinds of genes were characterized. The majority of ESTs with a deduced identity as aerobic metabolism enzymes were strongly expressed in the infection process. Likewise, ESTs similar to those reported for pathogen-related protein genes were also picked out in this study. These ESTs, in combination with other kinase-like genes and a defensin-like EST, constituted an assembly of genes which responded during pathogenic infection. These results imply that sea-island cotton undergoes strong oxidative stress and results in a series of defense responses when attacked by V. dahliae. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the isolation of global ESTs during the sea-island cotton defense reaction.__________From Molekulyarnaya Biologiya, Vol. 39, No. 2, 2005, pp. 214–223.Original English Text Copyright © 2005 by Zuo, Wang, Wu, Chai, Sun, Tang.This article was submitted by the authors in English. |
