Identification of Two Blast Resistance Genes in a Rice Variety, Digu

Blast, caused by Magnaporthe grisea is one of most serious diseases of rice worldwide. A Chinese local rice variety, Digu, with durable blast resistance, is one of the important resources for rice breeding for resistance to blast (M. grisea) in China. The objectives of the current study were to assess the identity of the resistance genes in Digu and to determine the chromosomal location by molecular marker tagging. Two susceptible varieties to blast, Lijiangxintuanheigu (LTH) and Jiangnanxiangnuo (JNXN), a number of different varieties, each containing one blast resistance gene, Pik^s, Pia, Pik, Pi‐b, Pi‐k^p, Pi‐ta², Pi‐ta, Pi‐z, Pi‐i, Pi‐k^m, Pi‐z^t, Pi‐t and Pi‐11, and the progeny populations from the crosses between Digu and each of these varieties were analysed with Chinese blast isolates. We found that the resistance of Digu to each of the two Chinese blast isolates, ZB13 and ZB15, were controlled by two single dominant genes, separately. The two genes are different from the known blast resistance genes and, therefore, designated as Pi‐d(t)1 and Pi‐d(t)2. By using bulked segregation method and molecular marker analysis in corresponding F₂ populations, Pi‐d(t)1 was located on chromosome 2 with a distance of 1.2 and 10.6 cM to restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers G1314A and G45, respectively. And Pi‐d(t)2 was located on chromosome 6 with a distance of 3.2 and 3.4 cM to simple sequence repeat markers RM527 and RM3, respectively. We also developed a novel strategy of resistance gene analogue (RGA) assay with uneven polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to further tag the two genes and successfully identified two RGA markers, SPO01 and SPO03, which were co‐segregated toPi‐d(t)1 and Pi‐d(t)2, respectively, in their corresponding F₂ populations. These results provide essential information for further utilization of the Digu's blast resistance genes in rice disease resistance breeding and positional cloning of these genes.     

稻瘟病菌侵染诱导的水稻早期反应基因的cDNA片段克隆与序列分析

水稻R基因同源序列与遗传学上已知抗病基因的共定位(英文)

植物抗病（R）基因结构上的高度保守性,为利用基于PCR的方法快速分离R基因同源序列提供了基础。采用这种方法,我们曾从水稻中分离到8个R基因候选同源序列（Rgenecandidates,RGCs）。为了研究RGCs与遗传学上已知的R基因的关系,对它们进行了限制性片段长度多态性（RFLP）分析和染色体定位。DNA杂交结果显示RGCs都属于多基因家族（Fig．1）。6个RGCs（Osh359－1、Osh359－2、Osh359－3、Osh359－5、Os8558－3、Os8558－14）在两个籼稻品种H359和Acc8558中检测出多态性,并定位在水稻染色体上（Fig．2）。它们分别检测出了1、1、4、1、2和1个座位,共10个座位,其中9个定位在第11号染色体的3个区域上,即RFLP标记G181和C82之间（由Osh359－2、Osh359－3、Osh359－5和Os8558－3检测的6个座位）,G1465与C50之间（Osh359－3检测出的一个座位）,和C496附近（由Osh359－1和Os8558－14检测出的两个紧密连锁的座位）另有一个由Os8558－3检测出的座位定位到第8号染色体上,位于L457和G1082B之间。这些染色体区域包含近一半的遗传学上已知的抗病基因,如Xa-3、Xa－10、Pi－a和xa－13。这一结果表明RGCs与已知的抗病基因位于相同的染色体区域。此外,RGCs定位的结果表明,它们在水稻基因组中呈簇状分布,表现出     

Genetic Mapping of Magnaporthe grisea Avirulence Gene Corresponding to Leaf and Panicle Blast Resistant QTLs in Jao Hom Nin Rice Cultivar

The avirulence characteristic of Magnaporthe grisea isolate TH16 corresponding to Jao Hom Nin (JHN) rice cultivar was studied by mapping population of 140 random ascospore progenies derived from the cross between B1-2 and TH16 isolates. Segregation analyses of the avirulence characteristic performing on JHN rice at the seedling and flowering stages were performed in this mapping population. We used the reference map of Guy11/2539 to choose microsatellite DNA markers for mapping the avirulence gene. The genetic map of this population was constructed from 39-microsatellite markers. The genetic map was spanned by covering seven chromosomes with an average distance of 11.9 cM per marker. In mapping population the distribution of pathogenic and non-pathogenic progenies on JHN rice were found to be fitted to 1 : 1 ratio for two of the rice stages, seedling and flowering stages. The Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) analysis for avirulence genes corresponding to two rice stages were located at the same region on chromosome 2 between markers Pyms305 and Pyms435. The LOD score and percentage of phenotypic variance explained (PVE) on two rice stages were 5.01/16.69 and 6.73/20.26, respectively. These loci were designated as Avr-JHN(lb) and Avr-JHN(pb) corresponding to leaf and panicle blast characteristics. The findings of this study can be the initial step for positional cloning and identifying any function of avirulence genes corresponding to leaf and panicle blast characteristics.     

Recent Advances in Cloning and Characterization of Disease Resistance Genes in Rice

Rice diseases caused by fungi, bacteria and viruses are one of the major constraints for sustainable rice （Oryza sativa L.） production worldwide. The use of resistant cultivars is considered the most economical and effective method to control rice diseases. In the last decade, a dozen resistance genes against the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe grisea and the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae have been cloned. Approximately half of them encode nuclear binding site （NBS） and leucine rich repeat （LRR）-containing proteins, the most common type of cloned plant resistance genes. Interestingly, four of them encode novel proteins which have not been identified in other plant species, suggesting that unique mechanisms might be involved in rice defense responses. This review summarizes the recent advances in cloning and characterization of disease resistance genes in rice and presents future perspectives for in-depth molecular analysis of the function and evolution of rice resistance genes and their interaction with avirulence genes in pathogens.     

以潮霉素抗性为选择标记的稻瘟病菌原生质体转化

稻瘟病菌对潮霉素（ＨｙｇｒｏｍｙｃｉｎＢ,简写为ＨｍＢ）较为敏感,当不含无机盐的再生培养基中ＨｍＢ浓度达到１００μｇ／ｍｌ时,稻瘟病菌２５３９ｗ原生质体的再生即被完全抑制。我们利用带有ＨｍＢ抗性基因的质粒（ｐＡＮ７－１）,通过ＰＥＧ②融合法对其原生质体进行转化,获得了ＨｍＢ抗性转化子。转化子以两类形式出现：一类为大而生长稳定的菌落,另一类为小而生长不稳定的菌落,两类菌落产生频率分别为每μｇＤＮＡ３－４个和１０－２０个。将大菌落转化子转接到含有ＨｍＢ的新培养基上,仍可正常生长,但小菌落转化子却不能,说明前者为真正的转化子而后者为流产转化子。ＤＮＡ杂交分析显示转化是由于质粒ＤＮＡ整合到了２５３９ｗ的染色体ＤＮＡ上,整合可在染色体ＤＮＡ的不同位点上发生。受试的７个转化子尽管各自的整合形式不同,但均在选择与非选择性培养中保持稳定。     

差异显示法分离水稻抗稻瘟病相关基因

采用mRNA差异显示技术,分析水稻稻瘟病抗源材料“地谷”叶片受稻瘟病菌侵染前后的基因的表达差异,获得87个差异片段。对这87个差异片段进行了回收、重扩增与克隆,并对其中的81个片段进行了杂交鉴定。斑点杂交结果证实其中6个片段受稻瘟病菌诱导表达。进一步克隆测序并进行数据库比对分析表明其中一个与水稻4号染色体中一推测的苹果酸合成酶高度同源,一个与水稻11号染色体上的RPR1基因高度同源,RPR1基因具有保守的NBS-LRR结构,并与水稻防卫反应的信号传导有关;另一个与水稻第6号染色体上一推测的硫氧还蛋白高度同源,其余3个为新的cDNA片段。     

Population Structure of Magnaporthe grisea from North-western Himalayas and its Implications for Blast Resistance Breeding of Rice

Neutral and pathogenicity markers were used to analyse the population structure of Magnaporthe grisea rice isolates from the north‐western Himalayan region of India. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)‐based DNA fingerprinting of 48 rice isolates of M. grisea with five primers (OPA‐04, OPA‐10, OPA‐13, OPJ‐06 and OPJ‐19) showed a total of 65 RAPD bands, of which 54 were polymorphic. Cluster analysis of 48 rice isolates of M. grisea on the basis of these 65 RAPD bands revealed the presence of high genotypic diversity and continuous DNA fingerprint variation in the pathogen population. No correlation was observed between RAPD patterns and virulence characteristics of the pathogen. The observed population structure contrasted with presumed clonal reproductive behaviour of the pathogen and indicated the possibility of ongoing genetic recombination in the pathogen population. Analysis of the virulence organization of five RAPD groups (RG1–RG5) using 20 rice genotypes comprising at least 15 resistance genes revealed that no combination of resistance genes would confer resistance against all RAPD fingerprint groups present in the M. grisea rice population. The possible implications of the observed population structure of M. grisea for blast resistance breeding have been discussed.     

水稻稻瘟病抗性基因的克隆、育种利用及稻瘟菌无毒基因研究进展

稻瘟病是世界上影响水稻(Oryza sativa)粮食生产的主要病害之一, 抗病基因的发掘与利用是抗病育种的基础和核心。随着寄主水稻和病原菌稻瘟病菌(Magnaporthe oryzae)基因组测序和基因注释的完成, 水稻和稻瘟病菌的互作体系成为研究植物与真菌互作的模式系统。该文对稻瘟病抗病基因的遗传、定位、克隆及育种利用进行概述, 并通过生物信息学分析方法, 探讨了水稻全基因组中NBS-LRR类抗病基因在水稻12条染色体上的分布情况, 同时对稻瘟病菌无毒基因的鉴定及无毒蛋白与抗病蛋白的互作进行初步分析。最后对稻瘟病抗病基因研究存在的问题进行分析并展望了未来的研究方向, 以期为水稻抗稻瘟病育种发展和抗病机制的深入理解提供参考。     

Light-Enhanced Resistance to Magnaporthe grisea Infection in the Rice Sekiguchi Lesion Mutants

The rice sl mutant showed two types of responses to Magnaporthe grisea infection by light treatments. One was an sl -mutant-type response characterized by Sekiguchi lesion expression under light waves of 400–700 nm, and the other was a wild-type response characterized by blast and/or necrotic spot lesion expression in the dark or at wavelength between 290 and 330 nm. There was a large difference in the resistance to M. grisea infection between the mutant- and wild-type responses in the rice sl mutant. When the mutant-type response was induced in the rice sl mutant, the disease resistance was enhanced relative to that in the wild-type response. Enhanced resistance was demonstrated by two components: (a) the number of Sekiguchi lesions was reduced relative to that of blast or necrotic lesions; (b) sporulation of M. grisea was not induced in Sekiguchi lesions. The enhanced resistance was dependent on light of 400–700 nm.     

云南疣粒野生稻稻瘟病抗性

野生稻(Oryza rufipogo)保存有许多栽培稻(O. sativa)不具备或已经消失的优异基因资源, 是扩大栽培稻遗传背景、改良产量与品质、提高抗病虫害及抗逆境能力的重要基因库。疣粒野生稻(O. meyeriana)是中国3种野生稻资源之一, 主要分布在云南。为进一步了解其稻瘟病抗性, 首先利用来自不同稻作区的稻瘟病菌株, 通过注射接种法对疣粒野生稻进行系统的稻瘟病抗性鉴定, 发现疣粒野生稻对接种的所有稻瘟病菌株都感病。进一步采用3'/5' RACE方法, 从疣粒野生稻中克隆了水稻同源基因Pid2和Pid3, 并构建过表达转基因株系对基因功能进行了研究。结果表明, Pid2和Pid3与疣粒野生稻中同源基因间在DNA和氨基酸水平上有较大的序列差异, 过表达转基因的日本晴植株对稻瘟病菌的敏感性与对照相似。推测疣粒野生稻在自然接种条件下, 表现出的抗稻瘟病表型很可能是其旱生叶片结构特征形成了对稻瘟病菌侵染的天然屏障。对控制疣粒野生稻这一类性状基因资源的挖掘和利用, 有利于优良抗性水稻品种的培育。研究结果为疣粒野生稻的研究利用提供了新信息和新思路。

Genetic Analysis of Resistance to Rice Blast: A Study on the Inheritance of Resistance to the Blast Disease Pathogen in an F3 Population of Rice

Blast caused by the fungus Magnaporthae grisea (Herbert) Borr. (anamorphe Pyricularia oryza Cav.) is a serious disease of rice (Oryza sativa L.). One method to overcome this disease is to develop disease resistant cultivars. Due to the genetic plasticity in the pathogen genome, there is a continuous threat to the effectiveness of the developed cultivars. Additional studies of the genetics of resistance, virulence stability and functional genomics are required to accelerate research into understanding the molecular basis of blast disease resistance. In this study, individual plants of the F₃ population derived from Pongsu Seribu 2 and Mahsuri were used for pathogenesis assays and inheritance studies of blast resistance. The study was performed with two of the most virulent Malaysian M. grisea pathotypes: P7.2 and P5.0. For blast screening, plants were scored based on the IRRI Standard Evaluation System (SES). F₃ populations showed a segregation ratio of 3R:1S for pathotype P7.2, indicating that resistance to this pathotype is likely controlled by a single nuclear gene. Chi‐square analysis showed that the F₃ families segregated in a 15R:1S ratio for pathotype P5.0. Therefore, locus interactions or epitasis of blast resistance occur against pathotype P5.0 in the F₃ population derived from Pongsu Seribu 2 and Mahsuri. This can be explained by the presence of two independent dominant genes that when present simultaneously, provide resistance to the M. gresia pathotype P5.0. These results indicated that blast resistance in rice is due to the combined effects of multiple loci with major and minor effects. The genetic data generated here will be useful in the breeding of local cultivars for resistance to field blast. The methodology reported here will facilitate the mapping of genes and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying the blast resistance trait.

Analysis of the Relationship between Blast Resistance Genes and Disease Resistance of Rice Germplasm via Functional Molecular Markers

Rice blast disease is one of the most devastating diseases of rice (Oryza sativa L.) caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae), and neck blast is the most destructive phase of this illness. The underlying molecular mechanisms of rice blast resistance are not well known. Thus, we collected 150 rice varieties from different ecotypes in China and assessed the rice blast resistances under the natural conditions that favoured disease development in Jining, Shandong Province, China in 2017. Results showed that 92 (61.3%) and 58 (38.7%) rice varieties were resistant and susceptible to M. oryzae, respectively. Among the 150 rice varieties screened for the presence of 13 major blast resistance (R) genes against M. oryzae by using functional markers, 147 contained one to eight R genes. The relationship between R genes and disease response was discussed by analysing the phenotype and genotype of functional markers. The results showed that the rice blast resistance gene Pita was significantly correlated with rice blast resistance. Our results provided a basis for the further understanding of the distribution of 13 major R genes of rice blast in the germplasm resources of the tested rice varieties, and were meaningful for rice disease resistance breeding.

Introgression of Pi2 and Pi5 Genes for Blast (Magnaporthe oryzae) Resistance in Rice and Field Evaluation of Introgression Lines for Resistance and Yield Traits

Blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is the most devastating disease causing significant loss in rice production. The destructive nature of the disease is mainly due to the genetic plasticity of M. oryzae which complicates the breeding strategies. Blast can be effectively managed by the deployment of R genes. In this study, broad‐spectrum blast resistance genes Pi2 and Pi5 were introgressed independently into popular but blast susceptible rice variety, Samba Mahsuri (BPT5204) by applying marker‐assisted backcross breeding approach. Tightly linked markers AP5930 for Pi2 and 40N23r for Pi5 gene were used in foreground selection. Background selection helped to identify the lines with maximum recovery of recurrent parent genome (RPG). The RPG recovery in Pi2 introgression lines was up to 90.17 and 91.46% in Pi5 lines. Homozygous introgression lines in BC₃F₄ generation carrying Pi2 and Pi5 gene were field evaluated for blast resistance, yield per se and yield‐related traits. The lines showed resistance to leaf and neck blast in multilocation field evaluation. Improved BPT5204 lines with improvement for blast resistance were on par with original BPT5204 in terms of grain yield and grain features.     

稻瘟病抗病基因Pi15的精细定位

稻瘟病抗病基因Pi15曾被作者鉴定为与已知抗病基因Pii具有连锁关系,但是,Pii基因究竟位于染色体6还是9上存在争议.为了确定Pi15基因的染色体位置,利用分子标记在由15个抗病个体和141个感病个体组成的F2群体中,通过混合群体分离法(BSA)与隐性群体分析法(RCA)相结合的手段,对目标基因进行了连锁分析.首先,从染色体6和9分别选择10个微卫星标记进行了分析,结果表明,只有位于染色体9的RM316与目标基因连锁,重组率为(19.1±3.7)%.为了进一步确定这种连锁关系,从染色体9选择了4个序列标定位点(STS)标记进行分析,结果表明,只有G103与目标基因连锁,重组率为(5.7±2.1)%.为了获得与目标基因更加紧密连锁的分子标记,对目标基因进行了RAPD)分析.在筛选、分析了1 000个随机引物之后,从中获得了3个目标基因紧密连锁的分子标记BAPi15486、BAPi15782、BAPi15844.它们与目标基因的重组率分别为0.35%、0.35%和1.1%.这些紧密连锁的分子标记可作为分子标记辅助基因聚合和克隆的出发点.
