Downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is a serious fungal disease in the cultivated European grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.). The class 10 of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes in grapevine leaves was reported to be accumulated at mRNA level in response to P. viticola infection. To elucidate the functional roles of PR10 genes during plant–pathogen interactions, a PR10 gene from a fungal-resistant accession of Chinese wild Vitis pseudoreticulata (designated VpPR10.2) was isolated and showed high homology to PR10.2 from susceptible V. vinifera (designated VvPR10.2). Comparative analysis displayed that there were significant differences in the patterns of gene expression between the PR10 genes from the two host species. VpPR10.2 was induced with high level in leaves infected by P. viticola, while VvPR10.2 showed a low response to this inoculation. Recombinant VpPR10.2 protein showed DNase activity against host genomic DNA and RNase activity against yeast total RNA in vitro. Meanwhile, recombinant VpPR10.2 protein inhibited the growth of tobacco fungus Alternaria alternata and over-expression of VpPR10.2 in susceptible V. vinifera enhanced the host resistance to P. viticola. The results from subcellular localization analysis showed that VpPR10.2 proteins were distributed dynamically inside or outside of host cell. Moreover, they were found in haustorium of P. viticola and nucleus of host cell which was associated with a nucleus collapse at 10 days post-inoculation. Taken together, these results suggested that VpPR10.2 might play an important role in host plant defense against P. viticola infection. 相似文献

Previously, VpPR-10.1 was isolated and characterized from a cDNA library of a fungus-resistant accession of Chinese wild grape (Vitis pseudoreticulata). We found that expression of VpPR-10.1 is affected by the fungal pathogen Erysiphe necator. To investigate the biochemical basis of the nuclease activity of VpPR-10.1 and its role in antifungal resistance, we generated recombinant VpPR-10.1 as well as site-directed mutations targeting three conserved amino acid residues among plant PR-10 s: Lys55, Glu149, and Tyr151. We showed that wild-type recombinant VpPR-10.1 exhibits both RNase and DNase activities. Mutant VpPR10.1-Y151H essentially retained all these activities. In contrast, VpPR10.1-K55N, where Lys55 in the P-loop region is mutated to Asn, and VpPR10.1-E149G, where Glu149 is mutated to Gly, lost their nuclease activity, indicating that both residues play a critical role in catalyzing RNA and DNA degradation. Furthermore, VpPR10.1 and VpPR10.1-Y151H inhibited the growth of the cultured fungal pathogen Alternaria alternate. Through transient expression in grapevine, we also demonstrated that VpPR10.1-K55N and VpPR10.1-E149G compromised resistance to E. necator. Finally, we further found that VpPR-10.1 can lead to programmed cell death and DNA degradation when incubated with tobacco BY-2 suspension cells. We show here that Lys55 and Glu149, but not Tyr151, are required for the RNase, DNase and antifungal activities of VpPR-10.1. The strong correlation between the level of VpPR-10.1 nuclease activity and its antifungal property indicates that the former is the biochemical basis for the latter. Taken together, our experiments revealed that VpPR-10.1 is critical in mediating fungal resistance in grape, potentially playing a dual role by degrading pathogen RNA and inducing programmed death of host cells. 相似文献

Constitutive expression of a PR10 protein enhances the germination of Brassica napus under saline conditions 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are expressed by virtually all plants in response to pathogen infection and, in many cases, in response to abiotic stresses as well and include the PR10 family. However, the precise roles of the PR10 protein family in abiotic stress responses are not clear. In this paper we report, for the first time, that the constitutive expression of a pea PR10 gene in Brassica napus enhances their germination and growth in the presence of NaCl. Our findings are discussed within the context of PR10 protein function and their utility in engineering stress tolerant crops. 相似文献

FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs), which belong to the peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase superfamily, are involved in plant response to abiotic stresses. A number of FKBP family genes have been isolated in plants, but little has been reported of FKBP genes in maize. In this study, a drought-induced FKBP gene, ZmFKBP20-1, was isolated from maize and was characterized for its role in stress responses using gene expression, protein subcellular localization, transformation in Arabidopsis, expression patterns of the stress-responsive genes, and physiological parameter analysis. During drought and salt stresses, ZmFKBP20-1 transgenic Arabidopsis plants exhibited enhanced tolerance, which was concomitant with the altered expression of stress/ABA-responsive genes, such as COR15a, COR47, ERD10, RD22, KIN1, ABI1, and ABI2. The resistance characteristics of ZmFKBP20-1 overexpression were associated with a significant increase in survival rate. These results suggested that ZmFKBP20-1 plays a positive role in drought and salt stress responses in Arabidopsis and provided new insights into the mechanisms of FKBP in response to abiotic stresses in plants. 相似文献

Plants frequently face challenges caused by various abiotic stresses, including drought, and have evolved defense mechanisms to counteract the deleterious effects of these stresses. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) is involved in signal transduction pathways that mediate defense responses of plants to abiotic stress. Here, we report a new function of the CaDIN1 protein in defense responses to abiotic stress. The CaDIN1 gene was strongly induced in pepper leaves exposed to ABA, NaCl, and drought stresses. CaDIN1 proteins share high sequence homology with other known DIN1 proteins and are localized in chloroplasts. We generated CaDIN1-silenced peppers and overexpressing transgenic Arabidopsis plants and evaluated their response to ABA and drought stress. Virus-induced gene silencing of CaDIN1 in pepper plants conferred enhanced tolerance to drought stress, which was accompanied by low levels of lipid peroxidation in dehydrated leaves. CaDIN1-overexpressing transgenic plants exhibited reduced sensitivity to ABA during seed germination and seedling stages. Transgenic plants were more vulnerable to drought than that by the wild-type plants because of decreased expression of ABA responsive stress-related genes and reduced stomatal closure in response to ABA. Together, these results suggest that CaDIN1 modulates drought sensitivity through ABA-mediated cell signaling. 相似文献

Pathogenesis-related proteins (PRs) are the antimicrobial proteins which are commonly used as signatures of defense signaling pathways and systemic acquired resistance. However, in Brassica juncea most of the PR proteins have not been fully characterized and remains largely enigmatic. In this study, full-length cDNA sequences of SA (PR1, PR2, PR5) and JA (PR3, PR12 and PR13) marker genes were isolated from B. juncea and were named as BjPR proteins. BjPR proteins showed maximum identity with known PR proteins of Brassica species. Further, expression profiling of BjPR genes were investigated after hormonal, biotic and abiotic stresses. Pre-treatment with SA and JA stimulators downregulates each other signature genes suggesting an antagonistic relationship between SA and JA in B. juncea. After abscisic acid (ABA) treatment, SA signatures were downregulated while as JA signature genes were upregulated. During Erysiphe cruciferarum infection, SA- and JA-dependent BjPR genes showed distinct expression pattern both locally and systemically, thus suggesting the activation of SA- and JA-dependent signaling pathways. Further, expression of SA marker genes decreases while as JA-responsive genes increases during drought stress. Interestingly, both SA and JA signature genes were induced after salt stress. We also found that BjPR genes displayed ABA-independent gene expression pattern during abiotic stresses thus providing the evidence of SA/JA cross talk. Further, in silico analysis of the upstream regions (1.5 kb) of both SA and JA marker genes showed important cis-regulatory elements related to biotic, abiotic and hormonal stresses. 相似文献

Members of the Pathogenesis Related (PR) 10 protein family have been
identified in a variety of plant species and a wide range of functions ranging from
defense to growth and development has been attributed to them. PR10 protein
possesses ribonuclease (RNase) activity, interacts with phytohormones, involved
in hormone-mediated signalling, afforded protection against various phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria, and viruses particularly in response to biotic and abiotic
stresses. The resistance mechanism of PR10 protein may include activation of
defense signalling pathways through possible interacting proteins involved in
mediating responses to pathogens, degradation of RNA of the invading pathogens. Moreover, several morphological changes have been shown to accompany
the enhanced abiotic stress tolerance. In this review, the possible mechanism of
action of PR10 protein against biotic and abiotic stress has been discussed.
Furthermore, our findings also confirmed that the in vivo Nitric oxide (NO) is
essential for most of environmental abiotic stresses and disease resistance against
pathogen infection. The proper level of NO may be necessary and beneficial, not
only in plant response to the environmental abiotic stress, but also to biotic stress.
The updated information on this interesting group of proteins will be useful in
future research to develop multiple stress tolerance in plants. 相似文献

Small heat shock proteins (smHSPs) play important and extensive roles in plant defenses against abiotic stresses. We cloned a gene for a smHSP from the David Lily (Lilium davidii (E. H. Wilson) Raffill var. Willmottiae), which we named LimHSP16.45 based on its protein molecular weight. Its expression was induced by many kinds of abiotic stresses in both the lily and transgenic plants of Arabidopsis. Heterologous expression enhanced cell viability of the latter under high temperatures, high salt, and oxidative stress, and heat shock granules (HSGs) formed under heat or salinity treatment. Assays of enzymes showed that LimHSP16.45 overexpression was related to greater activity by superoxide dismutase and catalase in transgenic lines. Therefore, we conclude that heterologous expression can protect plants against abiotic stresses by preventing irreversible protein aggregation, and by scavenging cellular reactive oxygen species. 相似文献

Ethylene response factors (ERFs) are widespread in plants, which are widely involved in plant response to biotic and abiotic stress. In this research, a soybean gene, GmERF9, was identified and the function was characterized. The results showed that GmERF9 contained a typical AP2/ERF binding domain and a putative nuclear localization signal sequence. The real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) revealed that the expression of GmERF9 could be induced by ethylene (ET), abscisic acid (ABA), drought, salt and cold stresses. GmERF9 protein could specifically bind to the GCC-box and activate the expression of the reporter gene in the yeast cells and tobacco leaves. Overexpression of GmERF9 enhanced the expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes, including PR1, PR2, Osmotin (PR5), and SAR8.2. Also, the overexpression of GmERF9 increased the accumulation of proline and soluble carbohydrate, and decreased the accumulation of malondialdehyde under drought and cold stresses in the transgenic tobacco compared to the wild type (WT) tobacco, which indicated that GmERF9 enhanced the tolerance to drought and cold stresses in the transgenic tobacco. In summary, the function of GmERF9 is involved in the response to environmental stresses for plants, which can be used as a candidate gene for genetic engineering of crops. 相似文献

Germins and germin-like proteins are ubiquitous, expressed at various developmental stages and in response to various abiotic and biotic stresses. In this study, to functionally validate the OsRGLP2 promoter, 5′ deletion analysis of the promoter sequences was performed and the deletion fragments fused with the β-glucuronidase (GUS) and green fluorescent protein reporter genes were used for transient expression in tobacco as well as for generating stable transgenic Arabidopsis plants. Very high level of GUS activity was observed in agroinfiltrated tobacco leaves by the construct carrying the P-1063 and P-565 when subjected to abiotic stresses. Histochemical analysis of transgenic Arabidopsis plants revealed expression of reporter gene in root, leaf and stem sections of plants harboring P-1063 and P-565. Real-time qPCR analysis of transiently expressed tobacco leaves and transgenic Arabidopsis plants subjected to several abiotic stresses supported histochemical data and showed that P-565 responded to all the stresses to which the full-length promoter was responsive. The data suggest that P-565 may be a good alternative to full-length promoter region that harbors the necessary cis-elements in providing stable and high level of expression in response to wound, salt and temperature stresses. 相似文献
