Reactive oxygen species (ROS), including superoxide ( / ) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), are differentially produced during resistance responses to biotrophic pathogens and during susceptible responses to necrotrophic and hemi‐biotrophic pathogens. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is responsible for the catalysis of the dismutation of / to H2O2, regulating the redox status of plant cells. Increased SOD activity has been correlated previously with resistance in barley to the hemi‐biotrophic pathogen Pyrenophora teres f. teres (Ptt, the causal agent of the net form of net blotch disease), but the role of individual isoforms of SOD has not been studied. A cytosolic CuZnSOD, HvCSD1, was isolated from barley and characterized as being expressed in tissue from different developmental stages. HvCSD1 was up‐regulated during the interaction with Ptt and to a greater extent during the resistance response. Net blotch disease symptoms and fungal growth were not as pronounced in transgenic HvCSD1 knockdown lines in a susceptible background (cv. Golden Promise), when compared with wild‐type plants, suggesting that cytosolic / contributes to the signalling required to induce a defence response to Ptt. There was no effect of HvCSD1 knockdown on infection by the hemi‐biotrophic rice blast pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae or the biotrophic powdery mildew pathogen Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei, but HvCSD1 also played a role in the regulation of lesion development by methyl viologen. Together, these results suggest that HvCSD1 could be important in the maintenance of the cytosolic redox status and in the differential regulation of responses to pathogens with different lifestyles. 相似文献

Grey mould is one of the most determinative factors of lily growth and plays a major role in limiting lily productivity. MicroRNA159 (miR159) is a highly conserved microRNA in plants, and participates in the regulation of plant development and stress responses. Our previous studies revealed that lre-miR159a participates in the response of Lilium regale to Botrytis elliptica according to deep sequencing analyses; however, the response mechanism remains unknown. Here, lre-miR159a and its target LrGAMYB gene were isolated from L. regale. Transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing lre-MIR159a exhibited larger leaves and smaller necrotic spots on inoculation with Botrytis than those of wild-type and overexpressing LrGAMYB plants. The lre-MIR159a overexpression also led to repressed expression of two targets of miR159, AtMYB33 and AtMYB65, and enhanced accumulation of hormone-related genes, including AtPR1, AtPR2, AtNPR1, AtPDF1.2, and AtLOX for both the jasmonic acid and salicylic acid pathways. Moreover, lower levels of H2O2 and were observed in lre-MIR159a transgenic Arabidopsis, which reduced the damage from reactive oxygen species accumulation. Taken together, these results indicate that lre-miR159a positively regulates resistance to grey mould by repressing the expression of its target LrGAMYB gene and activating a defence response. 相似文献

Biosynthesis of salicylic acid in plants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Salicylic acid (SA) is an important signal molecule in plants. Two pathways of SA biosynthesis have been proposed in plants. Biochemical studies using isotope feeding have suggested that plants synthesize SA from cinnamate produced by the activity of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL). Silencing of PAL genes in tobacco or chemical inhibition of PAL activity in Arabidopsis, cucumber and potato reduces pathogen-induced SA accumulation. Genetic studies, on the other hand, indicate that the bulk of SA is produced from isochorismate. In bacteria, SA is synthesized from chorismate through two reactions catalyzed by isochorismate synthase (ICS) and isochorismate pyruvate lyase (IPL). Arabidopsis contains two ICS genes but has no gene encoding proteins similar to the bacterial IPL. Thus, how SA is synthesized in plants is not fully elucidated. Two recently identified Arabidopsis genes, PBS3 and EPS1, are important for pathogen-induced SA accumulation. PBS3 encodes a member of the acyl-adenylate/thioester-forming enzyme family and EPS1 encodes a member of the BAHD acyltransferase superfamily. PBS3 and EPS1 may be directly involved in the synthesis of an important precursor or regulatory molecule for SA biosynthesis. The pathways and regulation of SA biosynthesis in plants may be more complicated than previously thought.Key words: salicylic acid biosynthesis, isochorismate synthase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase 相似文献

Head blight caused by Fusarium graminearum (F. graminearum) is one of the major threats to wheat and barley around the world. The importance of this disease is due to a reduction in both grain yield and quality in infected plants. Currently, there is limited knowledge about the physiological mechanisms involved in plant resistance against this pathogen. To reveal the physiological mechanisms underlying the resistance to F. graminearum, spikes of resistant (Sumai3) and susceptible (Falat) wheat cultivars were analyzed 4 days after inoculation, as the first symptoms of pathogen infection appeared. F. graminearum inoculation resulted in a greater induction level and activity of salicylic acid (SA), callose, phenolic compounds, peroxidase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), and polyphenol oxidase in resistant versus susceptible cultivars. Soil drench application to spikes of SA, 24 h before inoculation with F. graminearum alleviated Fusarium head blight symptoms in both resistant and susceptible cultivars. SA treated plants showed a significant increment in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production, lipid peroxidation, SA, and callose content. SA-induced H2O2 level seems to be related to increased superoxide dismutase and decreased catalase activities. In addition, real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that SA pretreatment induced expression of PAL genes in both infected and non-infected head tissues of the susceptible and resistant cultivars. Our data showed that soil drench application of SA activates antioxidant defense responses and may subsequently induce systemic acquired resistance, which may contribute to the resistance against F. graminearum. These results provide novel insights about the physiological and molecular role of SA in plant resistance against hemi-biotrophic pathogen infection. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and isochorismate synthase (ICS) on free salicylic acid (FSA) or total salicylic acid (TSA) content, and the effect of endogenous SA on baicalin and baicalein accumulation in Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, respectively. We amplified partial sequences of PAL and ICS genes in Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi and silenced the two genes with virus-induced gene silence (VIGS) technique, respectively. The influence of gene silence on FSA, TSA, baicalin, and baicalein accumulation in Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi were analyzed, and these parameters were also investigated under high temperature. Results indicated that PAL silence significantly affected the FSA, ICS affected TSA content. FSA significantly affected the baicalin, rather than baicalein content. Our results along with previous studies indicated PAL and ICS were different in the regulation of FSA or TSA synthesis, and FSA and TSA were different in the regulation of baicalin and baicalein synthesis in Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. 相似文献

The filamentous fungus Fusarium graminearum, a devastating pathogen of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), produces mycotoxins that pose a health hazard. To investigate the surface interactions of F. graminearum on barley, we focused on barley florets, as the most important infection site leading to grain contamination. The fungus interacted with silica‐accumulating cells (trichomes and silica/cork cell pairs) on the host surface. We identified variation in trichome‐type cells between two‐row and six‐row barley, and in the role of specific epidermal cells in the ingress of F. graminearum into barley florets. Prickle‐type trichomes functioned to trap conidia and were sites of fungal penetration. Infections of more mature florets supported the spread of hyphae into the vascular bundles, whereas younger florets did not show this spread. These differences related directly to the timing and location of increases in silica content during maturation. Focal accumulation of cellulose in infected paleae of two‐row and six‐row barley indicated that the response is in part linked to trichome type. Overall, silica‐accumulating epidermal cells had an expanded role in barley, serving to trap conidia, provide sites for fungal ingress and initiate resistance responses, suggesting a role for silica in pathogen establishment. 相似文献

Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat and other small grain cereals is a globally devastating disease caused by toxigenic Fusarium pathogens. Controlling FHB is a challenge because germplasm that is naturally resistant against these pathogens is inadequate. Current control measures rely on fungicides. Here, an antibody fusion comprised of the Fusarium spp.‐specific recombinant antibody gene CWP2 derived from chicken, and the endochitinase gene Ech42 from the biocontrol fungus Trichoderma atroviride was introduced into the elite wheat cultivar Zhengmai9023 by particle bombardment. Expression of this fusion gene was regulated by the lemma/palea‐specific promoter Lem2 derived from barley; its expression was confirmed as lemma/palea‐specific in transgenic wheat. Single‐floret inoculation of independent transgenic wheat lines of the T3 to T6 generations revealed significant resistance (type II) to fungal spreading, and natural infection assays in the field showed significant resistance (type I) to initial infection. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis revealed marked reduction of mycotoxins in the grains of the transgenic wheat lines. Progenies of crosses between the transgenic lines and the FHB‐susceptible cultivar Huamai13 also showed significantly enhanced FHB resistance. Quantitative real‐time PCR analysis revealed that the tissue‐specific expression of the antibody fusion was induced by salicylic acid drenching and induced to a greater extent by F. graminearum infection. Histochemical analysis showed substantial restriction of mycelial growth in the lemma tissues of the transgenic plants. Thus, the combined tissue‐specific and pathogen‐inducible expression of this Fusarium‐specific antibody fusion can effectively protect wheat against Fusarium pathogens and reduce mycotoxin content in grain. 相似文献

Fusarium head blight (scab), primarily caused by Fusarium graminearum, is a devastating disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. Wheat sharp eyespot, mainly caused by Rhizoctonia cerealis, is one of the major diseases of wheat in China. The defensin RsAFP2, a small cyteine-rich antifungal protein from radish
(Raphanus sativus), was shown to inhibit growth in vitro of agronomically important fungal pathogens, such as F. graminearum and R. cerealis. The RsAFP2 gene was transformed into Chinese wheat variety Yangmai 12 via biolistic bombardment to assess the effectiveness of the defensin
in protecting wheat from the fungal pathogens in multiple locations and years. The genomic PCR and Southern blot analyses
indicated that RsAFP2 was integrated into the genomes of the transgenic wheat lines and heritable. RT-PCR and Western blot proved that the RsAFP2 was expressed in these transgenic wheat lines. Disease tests showed that four RsAFP2 transgenic lines (RA1–RA4) displayed enhanced resistance to F. graminearum compared to the untransformed Yangmai 12 and the null-segregated plants. Assays on Q-RT-PCR and disease severity showed that
the express level of RsAFP2 was associated with the enhanced resistance degree. Two of these transgenic lines (RA1 and RA2) also exhibited enhanced resistance
to R. cerealis. These results indicated that the expression of RsAFP2 conferred increased resistance to F. graminearum and R. cerealis in transgenic wheat. 相似文献

Development of wheat scab symptoms is delayed in transgenic wheat plants that constitutively express a rice thaumatin-like protein gene 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

The possibility of controlling wheat scab (caused by Fusarium graminearum Schw.) was explored by engineering wheat plants for constitutive expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) protein genes. A
rice thaumatin-like protein (TLP) gene (tlp) and a rice chitinase gene (chi11) were introduced into the spring wheat cultivar ’Bobwhite’ by co-transformation of the plasmids pGL2ubi-tlp (ubiquitin/tlp//CaMV 35S/hpt) and pAHG11 (CaMV 35S/chi11//ubiquitin/bar). The transformation was by biolistic bombardment. Bialaphos was used as the selection reagent. The integration and expression
of the tlp, bar, chi11 and hpt genes were analyzed by Southern, Northern and Western blot analyses. The four transgenes co-segregated in the T1 progeny of the transgenic plant and were localized at the telomeric region of the chromosome 6A long arm by sequential N-banding
and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) using pAHG11 or pGL2ubi-tlp as the probes. Only the transgenes tlp and bar, under the control of the ubiquitin promoter-intron, were expressed. No expression of the chi11 and hpt genes, controlled by the CaMV 35S promoter, was detected in T1 plants. After inoculation with conidia of F. graminearum, the symptoms of scab developed significantly slower in transgenic plants of the T1, T2 and T3 generations expressing the tlp gene than in non-transformed control plants. This is the first report of enhanced resistance to F. graminearum in transgenic wheat plants with constitutive expression of TLP.

Cereal varieties with improved salinity tolerance are needed to achieve profitable grain yields in saline soils. The expression of AVP1, an Arabidopsis gene encoding a vacuolar proton pumping pyrophosphatase (H+‐PPase), has been shown to improve the salinity tolerance of transgenic plants in greenhouse conditions. However, the potential for this gene to improve the grain yield of cereal crops in a saline field has yet to be evaluated. Recent advances in high‐throughput nondestructive phenotyping technologies also offer an opportunity to quantitatively evaluate the growth of transgenic plants under abiotic stress through time. In this study, the growth of transgenic barley expressing AVP1 was evaluated under saline conditions in a pot experiment using nondestructive plant imaging and in a saline field trial. Greenhouse‐grown transgenic barley expressing AVP1 produced a larger shoot biomass compared to null segregants, as determined by an increase in projected shoot area, when grown in soil with 150 mm NaCl. This increase in shoot biomass of transgenic AVP1 barley occurred from an early growth stage and also in nonsaline conditions. In a saline field, the transgenic barley expressing AVP1 also showed an increase in shoot biomass and, importantly, produced a greater grain yield per plant compared to wild‐type plants. Interestingly, the expression of AVP1 did not alter barley leaf sodium concentrations in either greenhouse‐ or field‐grown plants. This study validates our greenhouse‐based experiments and indicates that transgenic barley expressing AVP1 is a promising option for increasing cereal crop productivity in saline fields. 相似文献

We explored the antifungal activity of thanatin, a 21 amino acid synthetic peptide from the hemipteran spined soldier bug Podisus maculiventris, against the mycotoxin‐producing plant pathogenic ascomycete Fusarium graminearum. In vitro germination assays showed complete inhibition of macroconidia germination and mycelia growth by >10 μm thanatin. Moreover, detached leaves of thanatin‐expressing Arabidopsis thaliana plants displayed enhanced resistance towards colonization with F. graminearum. Consistent with this, the plants showed also enhanced resistance of detached leaves to colonization with Botrytis cinerea. The results demonstrate a potential of thanatin for use in plant protection. 相似文献

Rust fungi are devastating plant pathogens and cause a large economic impact on wheat production worldwide. To overcome this rapid loss of resistance in varieties, we generated stable transgenic wheat plants expressing short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting potentially vital genes of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). Protein kinase A (PKA) has been proved to play important roles in regulating the virulence of phytopathogenic fungi. PsCPK1, a PKA catalytic subunit gene from Pst, is highly induced at the early infection stage of Pst. The instantaneous silencing of PsCPK1 by barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV)‐mediated host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) results in a significant reduction in the length of infection hyphae and disease phenotype. These results indicate that PsCPK1 is an important pathogenicity factor by regulating Pst growth and development. Two transgenic lines expressing the RNA interference (RNAi) construct in a normally susceptible wheat cultivar displayed high levels of stable and consistent resistance to Pst throughout the T3 to T4 generations. The presence of the interfering RNAs in transgenic wheat plants was confirmed by northern blotting, and these RNAs were found to efficiently down‐regulate PsCPK1 expression in wheat. This study addresses important aspects for the development of fungal‐derived resistance through the expression of silencing constructs in host plants as a powerful strategy to control cereal rust diseases. 相似文献
