Production of transgenic potato exhibiting enhanced resistance to fungal infections and herbicide applications

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), one of the most important food crops, is susceptible to a number of devastating fungal pathogens in addition to bacterial and other pathogens. Producing disease-resistant cultivars has been an effective and useful strategy to combat the attack of pathogens. Potato was transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA101 harboring chitinase, (ChiC) isolated from Streptomyces griseus strain HUT 6037 and bialaphos resistance (bar) genes in a binary plasmid vector, pEKH1. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis revealed that the ChiC and bar genes are integrated into the genome of transgenic plants. Different insertion sites of the transgenes (one to six sites for ChiC and three to seven for bar) were indicated by Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA from the transgenic plants. Expression of the ChiC gene at the messenger RNA (mRNA) level was confirmed by Northern blot analysis and that of the bar gene by herbicide resistance assay. The results obviously confirmed that the ChiC and bar genes are successfully integrated and expressed into the genome, resulting in the production of bialaphos-resistant transgenic plants. Disease-resistance assay of the in vitro and greenhouse-grown transgenic plants demonstrated enhanced resistance against the fungal pathogen Alternaria solani (causal agent of early blight).     

Characterization of Botryosphaeria dothidea and Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae from English Walnut in China

China is the largest walnut producer in the world, and walnut trees, especially English walnut, are widely distributed in the country. Species of Botryosphaeriaceae include important plant pathogens that can cause diseases on many tree crops including English walnut. Recently, disease symptoms caused by Botryosphaeriaceae were observed on English walnut branches or kernels from Beijing, Henan and Sichuan provinces in China. Based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses of the ITS rDNA sequences and translation elongation factor 1‐alpha (TEF‐1α) gene regions, Botryosphaeria dothidea and Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae were identified. Pathogenicity tests showed that both species are virulent to English walnut. To our knowledge, this is the first report of L. pseudotheobromae infecting English walnut in the world.     

Phylogenetic and Variable-Number Tandem-Repeat Analyses Identify Nonpathogenic Xanthomonas arboricola Lineages Lacking the Canonical Type III Secretion System

Xanthomonas arboricola is conventionally known as a taxon of plant-pathogenic bacteria that includes seven pathovars. This study showed that X. arboricola also encompasses nonpathogenic bacteria that cause no apparent disease symptoms on their hosts. The aim of this study was to assess the X. arboricola population structure associated with walnut, including nonpathogenic strains, in order to gain a better understanding of the role of nonpathogenic xanthomonads in walnut microbiota. A multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) was performed on a collection of 100 X. arboricola strains, including 27 nonpathogenic strains isolated from walnut. Nonpathogenic strains grouped outside clusters defined by pathovars and formed separate genetic lineages. A multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) conducted on a collection of X. arboricola strains isolated from walnut showed that nonpathogenic strains clustered separately from clonal complexes containing Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis strains. Some nonpathogenic strains of X. arboricola did not contain the canonical type III secretion system (T3SS) and harbored only one to three type III effector (T3E) genes. In the nonpathogenic strains CFBP 7640 and CFBP 7653, neither T3SS genes nor any of the analyzed T3E genes were detected. This finding raises a question about the origin of nonpathogenic strains and the evolution of plant pathogenicity in X. arboricola. T3E genes that were not detected in any nonpathogenic isolates studied represent excellent candidates to be those responsible for pathogenicity in X. arboricola.     

Transgenic indica Rice Expressing ns-LTP-Like Protein Shows Enhanced Resistance to Both Fungal and Bacterial Pathogens

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from plant seeds, known to inhibit pathogen growth have a great potential in developing transgenic plants resistant to disease. Some of the nonspecific-lipid transfer proteins (ns-LTP) that facilitate in vitro transport of lipids, show antimicrobial activity in vitro. Rice seeds also contain ns-LTPs; however, these genes are expressed weakly in seedlings. We have transformed Pusa Basmati 1, an elite indica rice cultivar, with the gene for Ace-AMP1 from Allium cepa, coding for an effective antimicrobial protein homologous to ns-LTPs. The gene for Ace-AMP1 was cloned under an inducible rice phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) or a constitutive maize ubiquitin (UbI) promoter. Ace-AMP1 was expressed in transgenic lines and secreted in the apoplastic space. Protein extracts from leaves of transgenic plants inhibited three major rice pathogens, Magnaporthe grisea, Rhizoctonia solani and Xanthomonas oryzae, in vitro. Enhanced resistance against these pathogens was observed in in planta assays, and the degree of resistance correlating with the levels of Ace-AMP1 with an average increase in resistance to blast, sheath blight, and bacterial leaf blight disease by 86%, 67%, and 82%, respectively. Importantly, transgenic rice plants, with stable integration and expression of Ace-AMP1, retained their agronomic characteristics while displaying enhanced resistance to both fungal and bacterial pathogens.     

Biological control of rice bacterial blight by Lysobacter antibioticus strain 13-1

Bacterial leaf blight (BB) is a worldwide destructive rice disease caused by pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). A novel strain of Lysobacter antibioticus, which was isolated from the rhizosphere of rice in Yunnan Province of China, can significantly inhibit the growth of various phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi, especially BB pathogen Xoo. In greenhouse experiments, whole bacterial broth culture (WBC) of strain 13-1 was more effective in reducing BB than other components of the culture, with disease suppression efficiency up to 69.7%. However, bacterial cells re-suspended in water, cell-free culture extracts, and heated cultures also significantly reduced BB severity. Suppression efficiencies ranged from 79.0% to 61.8% for undiluted to 100-fold dilution treatments and from 57.6% to 31.7% when the WBC of strain 13-1 (10⁸ CFU/mL) was applied at 3 days and 7 days prior to pathogen inoculation, respectively. In three field trials, strain 13-1 reduced BB incidence by 73.5%, 78.3%, and 59.1%, respectively. Disease suppression by strain 13-1 varied significantly among different rice cultivars, although efficacy was not directly related to the susceptibility level of the cultivars. Efficacy of biocontrol was also affected by different pathogen isolates, with some isolates of Xoo being more sensitive to 13-1 suppression than others. These results suggest that antibiotics and density of colonization on leaves may be involved for biological control of rice BB by strain 13-1. To our knowledge, this is the first report of L. antibioticus being a potential biocontrol agent for rice bacterial blight.     

Genetic Diversity of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. fragariae Strains and Comparison with some other X. arboricola Pathovars using Repetitive PCR Genomic Fingerprinting

The genetic relationship within 26 Xanthomonas arboricola pv. fragariae strains and between this pathovar and 20 strains of X. arboricola pv. corylina, 22 strains of X. arboricola pv. juglandis and 16 strains of X. arboricola pv. pruni has been assessed by means of repetitive polymerase chain reaction (rep‐PCR) using Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus), BOX (BOXA subunit of the BOX element of Streptococcus pneumoniae) and repetitive extragenic palindromic primer sets. Cluster analysis was performed by means of unweighted paired group method using arithmetic average (UPGMA). Upon rep‐PCR and UPGMA cluster analysis, a relevant genetic diversity was found within the strains. The overall similarity, however, was high (i.e. 80%). The four X. arboricola pathovars showed similar but clearly different genomic patterns and clustered into four different groups, with X. arboricola pv. corylina and X. arboricola pv. juglandis more closely related to X. arboricola pv. fragariae. Representative strains of X. arboricola pv. fragariae and the putative xanthomonads isolated from strawberry leaves showing leaf blight symptoms underwent pathogenicity tests. After artificial inoculation, X. arboricola pv. fragariae induced necrotic spots accompanied, sometimes, by a chlorotic halo. The blackening of the leaf veins and peduncle was, sometimes, also observed. The four putative xanthomonads isolated from diseased strawberry leaves and not inducing symptoms after artificial inoculation, clustered apart from X. arboricola pathovars.     

Use of asymmetric somatic hybridization for transfer of the bacterial blight resistance trait from Oryza meyeriana L. to O. sativa L. ssp. japonica

Bacterial blight is one of the major diseases affecting rice productivity. To improve the resistance of cultivated rice to bacterial blight, we introduced a bacterial blight resistance trait from Oryza meyeriana, a wild rice species, into an elite japonica rice cultivar (Dalixiang) using asymmetric somatic hybridization. One hundred and thirty-two independent lines were regenerated. The hybrid plants possessed several morphological features of the donor species, O. meyeriana. Random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis revealed that hybrid plants exhibited banding patterns derived from their parental genotypes. For the majority of the hybrids, resistance to bacterial blight pathogens was intermediate to that observed for O. meyeriana and O. sativa (cv. Dalixiang). Four of the hybrid lines exhibited a high bacterial blight resistance, but it was less than that observed for O. meyeriana. These results demonstrate that O. meyeriana can be used as a good genetic source for improving bacterial blight resistance in commercial rice cultivars through asymmetric somatic hybridization.Abbreviations 2,4-D: 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - IOA: Iodoacetamide - NAA: -Naphthaleneacetic acid - PEG: Polyethylene glycol Communicated by P.

cDNA cloning of mRNAs induced in resistant barley during infection by Erysiphe graminis f.sp. Hordei

Summary Near-isogenic cultivars of Hordeum vulgare which differ for the Mlp gene for resistance to Erysiphe graminis f.sp. hordei were inoculated with race 3 of this pathogen and in vitro translation products of mRNA populations compared by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and fluorography. This revealed the presence of new mRNA species in infected leaves compared to non-inoculated controls. These new mRNA species were more abundant in resistant leaves than susceptible leaves. A cDNA library was prepared from poly(A)⁺RNA isolated from infected leaves carrying the Mlp gene for resistance (cvMlp). The library was screened by differential hybridization using [³²P]-labelled cDNA prepared from poly(A)⁺RNA of both control and infected leaves. Six cDNA clones showing greater hybridization to cDNA prepared from infected leaves were selected. These six cDNA clones hybridized to DNA isolated from barley leaves but not to DNA from conidia of the fungus. In Northern blot analysis of RNA from infected leaves the six cDNA clones each hybridized to mRNA species of different size. Translation products for three of the cDNA clones corresponded to infection-related translation products identified on 2-dimensional fluorograms. The cDNA clones were used to study the kinetics of host mRNA induction during infection of the near-isogenic cultivars of barley. The host mRNA species corresponding to the cDNA clones were induced prior to 24 h after inoculation during the primary penetration processes. In addition the mRNAs corresponding to four of the cDNA clones increased to greater amounts in cvMlp than in the near-isogenic susceptible cultivar (cvmlp) over a 2-d period following inoculation. These results suggest that the Mlp gene has a regulatory role in host gene expression resulting in enhanced expression of several host mRNA species following infection by the powdery mildew fungus.

QTL analysis of late blight resistance in a diploid potato family of Solanum phureja × S. stenotomum

Field resistance to Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, the causal agent of late blight in potatoes, has been characterized in a potato segregating family of 230 full-sib progenies derived from a cross between two hybrid Solanum phureja × S. stenotomum clones. The distribution of area under the disease progress curve values, measured in different years and locations, was consistent with the inheritance of multigenic resistance. Relatively high levels of resistance and transgressive segregations were also observed within this family. A genetic linkage map of this population was constructed with the intent of mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with this late blight field resistance. A total of 132 clones from this family were genotyped based on 162 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers. The genome coverage by the map (855.2 cM) is estimated to be at least 70% and includes 112 segregating RFLP markers and two phenotypic markers, with an average distance of 7.7 cM between two markers. Two methods were employed to determine trait–marker association, the non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis test and interval mapping analysis. Three major QTLs were detected on linkage group III, V, and XI, explaining 23, 17, and 10%, respectively, of the total phenotypic variation. The present study revealed the presence of potentially new genetic loci in this diploid potato family contributing to general resistance against late blight. The identification of these QTLs represents the first step toward their introgression into cultivated tetraploid potato cultivars through marker-assisted selection.
