RESUMO

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) has two ecotypes, upland and lowland rice, that have been observed to show different tolerance levels under flooding stress. In this study, two rice cultivars, upland (Up221, flooding-intolerant) and lowland (Low88, flooding-tolerant), were initially used to study their molecular mechanisms in response to flooding germination. We observed that variations in the OsCBL10 promoter sequences in these two cultivars might contribute to this divergence in flooding tolerance. Further analysis using another eight rice cultivars revealed that the OsCBL10 promoter could be classified as either a flooding-tolerant type (T-type) or a flooding-intolerant type (I-type). The OsCBL10 T-type promoter only existed in japonica lowland cultivars, whereas the OsCBL10 I-type promoter existed in japonica upland, indica upland and indica lowland cultivars. Flooding-tolerant rice cultivars containing the OsCBL10 T-type promoter have shown lower Ca2+ flow and higher α-amylase activities in comparison to those in flooding-intolerant cultivars. Furthermore, the OsCBL10 overexpression lines were sensitive to both flooding and hypoxic treatments during rice germination with enhanced Ca2+ flow in comparison to wild-type. Subsequent findings also indicate that OsCBL10 may affect OsCIPK15 protein abundance and its downstream pathways. In summary, our results suggest that the adaptation to flooding stress during rice germination is associated with two different OsCBL10 promoters, which in turn affect OsCBL10 expression in different cultivars and negatively affect OsCIPK15 protein accumulation and its downstream cascade.

RESUMO

Chloroplast-bound vesicles are key components in viral replication complexes (VRCs) of potyviruses. The potyviral VRCs are induced by the second 6 kDa protein (6K2) and contain at least viral RNA and nuclear inclusion protein b. To date, no chloroplast protein has been identified to interact with 6K2 and involve in potyvirus replication. In this paper, we showed that the Photosystem II oxygen evolution complex protein of Nicotiana benthamiana (NbPsbO1) was a chloroplast protein interacting with 6K2 of Tobacco vein banding mosaic virus (TVBMV; genus Potyvirus) and present in the VRCs. The first 6 kDa protein (6K1) was recruited to VRCs by 6K2 but had no interaction with NbPSbO1. Knockdown of NbPsbO1 gene expression in N. benthamiana plants through virus-induced gene silencing significantly decreased the accumulation levels of TVBMV and another potyvirus Potato virus Y, but not Potato virus X of genus Potexvirus. Amino acid substitutions in 6K2 that disrupted its interaction with NbPsbO1 also affected the replication of TVBMV. NbPsbP1 and NbPsbQ1, two other components of the Photosystem II oxygen evolution complex had no interaction with 6K2 and no effect on TVBMV replication. To conclude, 6K2 recruits 6K1 to VRCs and hijacks chloroplast protein NbPsbO1 to regulate potyvirus replication.

RESUMO

Emerging evidence suggests that E3 ligases play critical roles in diverse biological processes, including pathogen resistance in plants. In the present study, an ubiquitin ligase gene (SlBAH1) was cloned from a tomato plant, and the functions of the gene were studied. The SlBAH1 gene contained 1002 nucleotides and encodes a protein with 333 amino acids. The SlBAH1 protein contains a SPX domain and a RING domain. SlBAH1 displayed E3 ubiquitin ligase activity in vitro. SlBAH1 was shown to localise in the nucleus, cytoplasm and plasma membrane by a subcellular localisation assay. The expression of SlBAH1 was induced by various hormones and Botrytis cinerea Pers. treatment. SlBAH1-silencing in plants obtained by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) technology enhanced resistance to B. cinerea, and the expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes, including PR1, PR2, PR4, PR5, and PR7, was significantly increased. These results indicate that the SlBAH1-dependent activation of defence-related genes played a key role in the enhanced fungal resistance observed in the SlBAH1-silenced plants and may be related to the SA-dependent and JA-dependent signalling pathways.

RESUMO

RNA-mediated virus resistance is an effective way to obtain virus resistant plants and is regarded as a potential strategy with application value in plant resistant virus breeding because of its advantage of high biosafety and long duration. Whether the resistance can inherit stably is a critical factor affecting its application in agriculture. In this paper, several T0 progeny transgenic plants with different resistant levels and with different transgene copy numbers were selected for further study. The results showed that the inheritance of the transgene in T0 susceptible transgenic plants containing 1 -2 transgene copies followed Mendelian segregation pattern of single gene inheritance in their progenies. Resistant transgenic plants, which contained 4 -6 transgene copies, followed 15:1 and 63:1 segregation patterns in the T1 progeny. Transgene recombination and re-organization in the plant genome was observed, which resulted in unstable inheritance of the transgene in the progenies. Homozygous resistant transgenic plants were obtained after 3 to 4 generations in the progeny. Analysis of the transgene integration pattern indicated that most of the highly resistant plants contained inverted repeat (IR) sequences of the transgene.

RESUMO

Artificial microRNA (amiRNA) has become the preferred viral defence that can be induced in plants. In this study, nine amiRNA target sites were selected that were based on the sequence characteristics of natural miRNAs in the cylindrical inclusion protein (CI), nuclear inclusion a protein (NIa), nuclear inclusion b protein (NIb), and coat protein (CP) genes of Potato virus Y (PVY(N)). These amiRNAs that exhibited high similarities to the sequences of PVY(N) and TEV-SD1 were considered. To study the effectiveness of gene silencing in amiRNA-mediated viral resistance, we constructed nine amiRNA plant expression vectors by replacing the functional sequences of miRNA319a precursors with our selected amiRNA sequences. These constructs were subsequently introduced to tobacco plants. A Northern blot assay verified that the nine amiRNA plant expression vectors could successfully express amiRNAs in plants. The analysis of viral resistance demonstrated that these transgenic tobacco plants could effectively inhibit PVY(N) and TEV-SD1 viral infections. The amiRNA that targeted the NIb and CP genes displayed a higher silencing efficiency than did the amiRNAs targeted CI and NIa genes. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that silencing was induced by the original amiRNAs and could be bilaterally extended by the siRNA pathway. That is, the amiRNA and the secondary siRNA mediated the degradation of viral RNA together. Genetic analysis demonstrated that the trait for viral resistance in transgenic plants can be consistently inherited via a single copy of the transgenic sequence. Considering the correlation between the sequence characteristics and the activity of amiRNA, we concluded that a few mismatched bases between the amiRNA and the target sequence could be allowed, particularly the mismatched bases in the 3' end of the amiRNA.

RESUMO

Posttranscriptional gene silencing, also known as RNA interference, involves degradation of homologous mRNA sequences in organisms. In plants, posttranscriptional gene silencing is part of a defense mechanism against virus infection, and double-stranded RNA is the pivotal factor that induces gene silencing. In this paper, we got seven hairpin RNAs (hpRNAs) constructs against different hot-spot sequences of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) or Potato virus Y (PVY) genome. After expression in Escherichia coli HT115, we extracted the seven hpRNAs for the test in tobacco against TMV or PVY infection. The data suggest that different hpRNAs against different hot-spot sequences of TMV or PVY genome had different ability to protect tobacco plants from viral infection. The resistance to TMV conferred by the hpRNA against the TMV movement protein was stronger than other TMV hpRNAs; the resistance to PVY conferred by the hpRNA against the PVY nuclear inclusion b was better than that induced by any other PVY hpRNAs. Northern blotting of siRNA showed that the resistance was indeed an RNA-mediated virus resistance.
