RESUMO

HSP40 (also known as DnaJ), HSP70, and HSP90 are major heat shock protein (HSP) families that play critical roles in plant growth and development and stress adaption. Recently, several members of the three HSP families were reported to be widely involved in the plant host-virus interactions. However, their global expression profiles and core members recruited by viruses are largely unknown. In this study, a total of 89 StDnaJs were identified from a genome-wide survey, and their classification, phylogenetic relationships, chromosomal locations, and gene duplication events were further analyzed. Together with 20 StHSP70s and 7 StHSP90s previously identified in the potato genome, the global expression patterns of the members in 3 HSP families were investigated in 2 potato cultivars during Potato virus Y (PVY) infection using RNA-seq data. Of them, 16 genes (including 8 StDnaJs, 6 StHSP70s, and 2 StHSP90s) were significantly up- or downregulated. Further analysis using qRT-PCR demonstrated that 7 of the 16 genes (StDnaJ06, StDnaJ17, StDnaJ21, StDnaJ63, StHSP70-6, StHSP70-19, and StHSP90.5) were remarkably upregulated in the potato cultivar 'Eshu 3' after PVY infection, implying their potential roles in the potato-PVY compatible interaction. Subsequent virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) assays showed that silencing of the homologous genes of StDnaJ17, StDnaJ21, StHSP70-6, and StHSP90.5 in Nicotiana. benthamiana plants dramatically reduced the accumulation of PVY, which indicated the four genes may function as susceptibility factors in PVY infection. This study provides candidate genes for exploring the mechanism of potato-PVY compatible interaction and benefits breeding work aiming to produce new cultivars with the ability to grow healthily under PVY infection.

RESUMO

In this study, an isothermal reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) assay was developed for the efficient and accurate detection of potato virus Y (PVY) under isothermal conditions. This RT-RPA assay was more efficient than the conventional reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay as the amplification reaction can be completed in less than 20 min. Moreover, unlike PCR that requires a thermocycler to carry out the DNA amplification through specific temperature phases, RPA assay could be performed under an isothermal condition at a temperature ranging from 25 to 40 °C. A simple instrumentation such as a heating block or a water bath or even anon-instrumental condition such as human hands or a benchtop inside/outside a room during the summer could satisfy the temperature requirement of RPA. The sensitivity of this assay was equivalent to that of the conventional RT-PCR, and the virus can be detected in a minimum of 2 pg of total RNA extracted from the PVY infected potato leaf tissues. The efficacy of the newly developed RT-RPA was then evaluated using field potato leaf and dormancy-broken sprout samples upon enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) screening. Of the 164 PVY-ELISA-positive samples, RT-RPA detected 157 whereas simplex RT-PCR detected 160 and multiplex RT-PCR detected 154. Of the 74 randomly selected PVY-ELISA-negative samples, RT-RPA, simplex RT-PCR and multiplex RT-PCR led to 1, 1 and 0 positive detections, receptively. Overall, RT-RPA and the two RT-PCR assays as well as ELISA exhibited an agreement of 96.6-98.7%, thus demonstrating the suitability of RT-RPA for large scale detection of PVY, irrespective of the strain type of the virus.

RESUMO

CRISPR/Cas systems provide bacteria and archaea with molecular immunity against invading phages and foreign plasmids. The class 2 type VI CRISPR/Cas effector Cas13a is an RNA-targeting CRISPR effector that provides protection against RNA phages. Here we report the repurposing of CRISPR/Cas13a to protect potato plants from a eukaryotic virus, Potato virus Y (PVY). Transgenic potato lines expressing Cas13a/sgRNA (small guide RNA) constructs showed suppressed PVY accumulation and disease symptoms. The levels of viral resistance correlated with the expression levels of the Cas13a/sgRNA construct in the plants. Our data further demonstrate that appropriately designed sgRNAs can specifically interfere with multiple PVY strains, while having no effect on unrelated viruses such as PVA or Potato virus S. Our findings provide a novel and highly efficient strategy for engineering crops with resistances to viral diseases.
