茉莉酸等3种因素刺激番茄LeWRKY1的表达特征分析

为了研究LeWRKY1参与植物抗逆反应的分子机理,采用实时荧光定量PCR技术研究了LeWRKY1在番茄灰霉菌(Botrytis cinerea)侵染、茉莉酸(jasmonic acid,JA)、水杨酸(salicylic acid,SA)刺激时的表达情况。结果表明:外源植物激素JA可诱导LeWRKY1的表达,而SA对其无明显诱导作用;番茄灰霉菌侵染可诱导LeWRKY1表达。LeWRKY1可能通过JA依赖而SA非依赖的信号途径参与番茄对番茄灰霉菌防御反应的应答。

Research on Expression of LeWRKY1 in Tomato Induced by Jasmonic Acid and Other Two Factors

[Objective]The aim was to explore the molecular mechanism of plant resistance to various stress response.[Method]The expression of LeWRKY1 in tomato seedlings under treatment with B.cinerea,exogenous JA and SA were explored by real time quantitative RT-PCR technology.[Result]JA induced the expression of LeWRKY1,but SA did not.LeWRKY1 expression was up-regulated under B.cinerea infection.[Conclusion]LeWRKY1 might be involved in the tomato defense response to B.cinerea through JA dependent but SA independent signal pathway.

LeWRKY1基因的克隆及分析

采用RT-PCR和RACE技术克隆了番茄LeWRKY1 cDNA(Genbank登录号为FJ654265)全长,用生物信息学的方法对其进行分析,预测其编码的蛋白的定位和功能。同时利用Northern杂交技术分析了JA(jasmonic acid)或SA(salicylic acid)刺激时LeWRKY1在野生型番茄和番茄JA不敏感突变体jail(JASMONATE-INSENSITIVE1)及番茄JA生物合成突变体spr2(prosystemin-mediated responses2)中的表达情况。LeWRKY1 cDNA序列全长1 740 bp,阅读框1 083 bp。生物信息学分析表明LeWRKY1含有1个WRKY结构域和1个C_2H_2型锌指结构。LeWRKY1可能是一种定位于细胞核的DNA结合蛋白,并可能具有转录调控、信号传导功能。表达分析推测LeWRKY1的表达是JA依赖而非SA依赖性的,且LeWRKY1的表达不依赖于生物体内JA的从头合成。
