Molecular Detection of Verticillium albo-atrum by PCR Based on Its Sequences

We developed one species-specific PCR assays for rapid and accurate detection of the pathogenic fungi Verticillium albo-atrum in diseased plant tissues and soil. Based on differences in internal transcribed spacer （ITS） sequences of Verticillium spp., a pair of species-specific primers, Vaal/Vaa2, was synthesized. After screening 17 isolates of V. alboatrum, 121 isolates from the Ascomycota, B asidiomycota, Deuteromycota, and Oomycota, the Vaal/Vaa2 primers amplified only a single PCR band of approximately 330 bp from V. albo-atrum. The detection sensitivity with primers Vaal/Vaa2 was 10 fg of genomic DNA. Using ITS1/ITS4 as the first-round primers, combined with Vaa1/Vaa2, the nested PCR procedures were developed, and the detection sensitivity increased 1 000-fold to 10 ag. The detection sensitivity for the soil pathogens was 100-conidiag^-1 soil. The PCR-based methods developed here could simplify both plant disease diagnosis and pathogen monitoring as well as guide plant disease management.

Knock-out of BnHva22c reduces the susceptibility of Brassica napus to infection with the fungal pathogen Verticillium longisporum

Verticillium longisporum(Vl43)is a soilborne hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen causing stem striping on oilseed rape(OSR)and severe yield losses.Breeding for resistant varieties is the most promising approach to control this disease.Here,we report the identification of Hva22c as a novel susceptibility factor and its potential for improving OSR resistance.Hva22c is a member of the Hva22 gene family,originally described for barley(Hordeum vulgare).Several Hva22 members have been located at the endoplasmic reticulum.Hva22c is up-regulated in response to Vl43 in both Arabidopsis and OSR.We demonstrate that knock-out of Hva22c in OSR by CRISPR/Cas9 and its homolog in Arabidopsis by T-DNA insertion reduced plants’susceptibility to Vl43 infection and impaired the development of disease symptoms.To understand the underlying mechanism,we analysed transcriptomic data from infected and non-infected roots of hva22c knock-out and wild type plants.We identified a homozygous mutant with frame-shifts in all four BnHva22c loci displaying a vastly altered transcriptional landscape at 6 dpi.Significantly,a large set of genes was suppressed under mock conditions including genes related to the endomembrane systems.Among the up-regulated genes we found several defense-related and phytohormone-responsive genes when comparing mutant to the wild type.These results demonstrate that Hva22c is functionally required for a fully compatible plant-fungus interaction.Its loss of function reduces plant susceptibility,most likely due to endoplasmatic reticulum and Golgi dysfunction accompanied by additionally activated defense responses.These findings can help improve OSR resistance to V.longisporum infection.

Identification and virulence test of a new pathogen that causes verticillium striping on rapeseed in northwestern China

Five stems of rapeseed with abundant black microsclerotia were collected from Huangyuan County of Qinghai Province,China,and fungal isolates were obtained from the stems.They were identified based on morphology,molecular features and specific PCR detection.The results showed that the 10 fungal isolates belonged to Verticillium longisporum lineage A1/D3.One of the 10 isolates(HW7-1)was tested for virulence on three species of rapeseed,including B.napus Zhongshuang 9,B.rapa Qingyou 9 and B.juncea Tayou 2 by conidia inoculation of HW7-1 on roots of young seedlings.Control seedlings were inoculated with V.dahliae conidia or water alone.The seedlings of these treatments were transplanted in culture mix and incubated in a growth chamber(20℃).Results suggested that the control seedlings of three cultivars appeared quite healthy,while the seedlings inoculated with HW7-1 turned yellowing leaves,seedling stunting or even death after 22 days post-inoculation.V.longisporum was re-isolated from he yellow leaves,thus fulfilling Koch's postulates.Moreover,compared to the control treatments,inoculation with HW7-1 caused flowering delay and seed yield reduction on Tayou 2 with production of microsclerotia on the stems.To our knowledge,this is the first report of V.longisporum lineage A1/D3 on rapeseed in northwestern China.

Attenuation of ethylene signaling increases cotton resistance to a defoliating strain of Verticillium dahliae

The severity of Verticillium wilt on cotton caused by defoliating strains of Verticillium dahliae has gradually increased and threatens production worldwide. Identification of the molecular components of leaf defoliation may increase cotton tolerance to V. dahliae. Ethylene, a major player in plant physiological processes, is often associated with senescence and defoliation of plants. We investigated the cotton–V.dahliae interaction with a focus on the role of ethylene in defoliation and defense against V. dahliae.Cotton plants inoculated with V. dahliae isolate V991, a defoliating strain, accumulated more ethylene and showed increased disease symptoms than those inoculated with a non-defoliating strain. In cotton with a transiently silenced ethylene synthesis gene(GhACOs) and signaling gene(GhEINs) during cotton–V. dahliae interaction, ethylene produced was derived from cotton and more ethylene increased cotton susceptibility and defoliation rate. Overexpression of AtCTR1, a negative regulator in ethylene signaling, in cotton reduced sensitivity to ethylene and increased plant resistance to V. dahliae.Collectively, the results indicated precise regulation of ethylene synthesis or signaling pathways improve cotton resistant to Verticillium wilt.

Association mapping of lignin response to Verticillium wilt through an eight-way MAGIC population in Upland cotton

Lignin metabolism plays a pivotal role in plant defense against pathogens and is always positively correlated as a response to pathogen infection. Thus, understanding resistance genes against plant pathogens depends on a genetic analysis of the lignin response. This study used eight Upland cotton lines to construct a multi-parent advanced generation intercross(MAGIC) population(n=280), which exhibited peculiar characteristics from the convergence of various alleles coding for advantageous traits. In order to measure the lignin response to Verticillium wilt(LRVW), the artificial disease nursery(ADN) and rotation nursery(RN) were prepared for MAGIC population planting in four environments. The stem lignin contents were collected, and the LRVW was measured with the lignin value of ADN/RN in each environment, which showed significant variations. We employed 9 323 high-quality single-nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) markers obtained from the Cotton-SNP63K array for genotyping the MAGIC population. The SNPs were distributed through the whole genome with 4.78 SNP/Mb density, ranging from 1.14(ChrA06) to 10.08(ChrD08). In addition, a genome-wide association study was performed using a Mixed Linear Model(MLM) for LRVW. Three stable quantitative trait loci(QTLs), qLRVW-A04, qLRVW-A10, and qLRVW-D05, were identified in more than two environments. Two key candidate genes, Ghi_D05G01046 and Ghi_D05G01221, were selected within the QTLs through the combination of variations in the coding sequence, induced expression patterns, and function annotations. Both genes presented nonsynonymous mutations in coding regions and were strongly induced by Verticillium dahliae. Ghi_D05G01046 encodes a leucine-rich extensin(LRx) protein involved in Arabidopsis cell wall biosynthesis and organization. Ghi_D05G01221 encodes a transcriptional co-repressor novel interactor of novel interactor of jasmonic acid ZIM-domain(JAZ–NINJA), which functions in the jasmonic acid(JA) signaling pathway. In summary, the study creates valuable genetic resources for breeding and QTL mapping and opens up a new perspective to uncover the genetic basis of VW resistance in Upland cotton.

GhWRKY33 negatively regulates jasmonate-mediated plant defense to Verticillium dahliae

Verticillium wilt,caused by Verticillium dahliae,seriously restricts the yield and quality improvement of cotton.Previous studies have revealed the involvement of WRKY members in plant defense against V.dahliae,but the underlying mechanisms involved need to be further elucidated.Here,we demonstrated that Gossypium hirsutum WRKY DNA-binding protein 33(GhWRKY33) functions as a negative regulator in plant defense against V.dahliae.GhWRKY33 expression is induced rapidly by V.dahliae and methyl jasmonate,and overexpression of GhWRKY33 reduces plant tolerance to V.dahliae in Arabidopsis.Quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed that expression of several JA-associated genes was significantly repressed in GhWRKY33 overexpressing transgenic plants.Yeast one-hybrid analysis revealed that GhWRKY33 may repress the transcription of both AtERF1 and GhERF2 through its binding to their promoters.Protein-protein interaction analysis suggested that GhWRKY33 interacts with G.hirsutum JASMONATE ZIM-domain protein 3(GhJAZ3).Similarly,overexpression of GhJAZ3 also decreases plant tolerance to V.dahliae.Furthermore,GhJAZ3 acts synergistically with GhWRKY33 to suppress both AtERF1 and GhERF2 expression.Our results imply that GhWRKY33 may negatively regulate plant tolerance to V.dahliae via the JA-mediated signaling pathway.

Transcriptome Analysis of a Wild Eggplant Germplasm M239 in Response to Verticillium dahliae Infection

In this study,wild eggplant germplasm No.M239,which is highly susceptible to Verticillium wilt,was used as the experimental material.The physiological and biochemical indices(SOD,PAL,MDA and soluble protein)of M239 roots were measured at different times(0,12,24,36,48,60 and 72 h)post inoculation with Verticillium dahliae,and the key time points for the M239 response to Verticillium wilt infection were screened.Then,RNA-Seq technology was used to screen the differentially expressed genes(DEGs)in M239 roots at 0,12 and 48 h post-inoculation(hpi).The transcriptional results of M239 were also compared with those resistance genes from some reported wild relative Solanum species(S.sisymbriifolium and S.aculeatissimum).Then some DEGs were chosen for validation by qRT–PCR.The results showed that 12 and 48 hpi were the turning points in the changes in all physiological and biochemical indices.A total of 6,783 DEGs were identified by RNA-Seq,including 6,141 DEGs(3,046 upregulated and 3,095 downregulated)at the M_12 h vs.M_0 h,1,903 DEGs(792 upregulated and 1,111 downregulated)at M_48 h vs.M_12 h,and 1,261 DEGs that appeared simultaneously in both stages.KEGG enrichment analysis showed that there were 5 metabolic pathways enriched from DEGs,which were mostly related to primary metabolism,such as glycolysis,amino acid and ribosome biogenesis.Compared with the NCBI non-redundant protein(NR)database,one Ve2 homologous gene and 8 PR protein-related genes were screened.Transcription factor analysis showed that there were a large number of DEGs,such as MYB,AP2-EREBP,bHLH,NAC and Orphans in the two stages.Compared with the reported Verticillium wilt-resistant wild eggplant species,it was found that there were fewer genes and enriched metabolic pathways in the M239 response to Verticillium wilt infection,and it also lacked the response of some known key resistance genes.These results proved that the above resistance genes and metabolic pathways played a key role in the wild eggplant response to V.dahliae infection.

Assessing the severity of cotton Verticillium wilt disease from in situ canopy images and spectra using convolutional neural networks

Verticillium wilt(VW)is a common soilborne disease of cotton.It occurs mainly in the seedling and bollopening stages and severely impairs the yield and quality of the fiber.Rapid and accurate identification and evaluation of VW severity(VWS)forms the basis of field cotton VW control,which has great significance to cotton production.Cotton VWS values are conventionally measured using in-field observations and laboratory test diagnoses,which require abundant time and professional expertise.Remote and proximal sensing using imagery and spectrometry have great potential for this purpose.In this study,we performed in situ investigations at three experimental sites in 2019 and 2021 and collected VWS values,in situ images,and spectra of 361 cotton canopies.To estimate cotton VWS values at the canopy scale,we developed two deep learning approaches that use in situ images and spectra,respectively.For the imagery-based method,given the high complexity of the in situ environment,we first transformed the task of healthy and diseased leaf recognition to the task of cotton field scene classification and then built a cotton field scenes(CFS)dataset with over 1000 images for each scene-unit type.We performed pretrained convolutional neural networks(CNNs)training and validation using the CFS dataset and then used the networks after training to classify scene units for each canopy.The results showed that the Dark Net-19 model achieved satisfactory performance in CFS classification and VWS values estimation(R^(2)=0.91,root-mean-square error(RMSE)=6.35%).For the spectroscopy-based method,we first designed a one-dimensional regression network(1D CNN)with four convolutional layers.After dimensionality reduction by sensitive-band selection and principal component analysis,we fitted the 1D CNN with varying numbers of principal components(PCs).The 1D CNN model with the top 20 PCs performed best(R^(2)=0.93,RMSE=5.77%).These deep learning-driven approaches offer the potential of assessing crop disease severity from spatial and spectral perspectives.

大理野茄M239响应黄萎病病菌侵染的差异表达蛋白分析

为了探索植物响应黄萎病病原菌侵染的作用机制,以黄萎病高感野茄材料大理野茄(M239)为研究对象,通过人工接种黄萎病病原菌大丽轮枝菌的方法,首先测定M239在接种大丽轮枝菌后0,6,12,24,48 h的根部4个关键生理指标,即过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)的活性和可溶性蛋白(SP)含量的变化。结果确定接种大丽轮枝菌后12,24 h为蛋白组分析取样的关键时间点;在此基础上,利用iTRAQ技术分析M239在接种大丽轮枝菌后根部蛋白的变化。结果发现,与清水接种(CK)相比,M239接种大丽轮枝菌后12 h有463个差异表达蛋白(DEPs),其中305个下调,158个上调;接种后24 h,有456个DEPs被病原菌诱导表达,包括296个下调,160个上调。这些蛋白主要富集在碳代谢、乙醛酸和二羧酸代谢、次生代谢物的生物合成、丙酮酸代谢、新陈代谢等途径。通过与已报道的黄萎病抗性材料的研究结果进行对比分析发现,M239在响应大丽轮枝菌的侵染过程中,参与防御响应的蛋白数量和代谢通路较少,未能形成有效的防御网络,最终表现为感病。

有关棉花黄萎病（Verticillium dahliae Kleb．）抗性遗传研究的几个问题

棉花黄萎病抗性遗传问题迄今尚未获得肯定的结论。据作者等估计，这可能和寄主（棉株）和寄生物（黄萎病镰刀菌）之间的关系、黄萎病菌不同菌系间的互作以及影响抗性鉴定的正确性等问题有关。为此，必须创设有利条件，使寄主和病原菌间的关系得以充分表现；必须了解病原菌菌系间的互作，寄主必须有较大的群体。这一切都是为了寄主和病原物问的关系得以充分体现，为抗性遗传研究奠定基础。抗性遗传研究宜用单菌系接种，并且宜按数量性状和质量性状遗传方式同时进行研究和分析，以便得到比较确切可靠的结果。

陆地棉抗黄萎病基因GhENODL6互作蛋白筛选

研究发现陆地棉ENODL6基因具有抗黄萎病功能。为进一步揭示其在棉花抗黄萎病过程中发挥的作用,通过Nimble Cloning技术将GhENODL6插入酵母表达载体pNC-GBKT7,构建了重组质粒pNC-GBKT7-ENODL6。重组质粒转入酵母菌Y2HGold后可在DDO培养基上正常生长,但不能生长于QDO/X/A培养基,表明GhENODL6蛋白对酵母宿主无毒害作用,没有自激活活性。将携带pNC-GBKT7-ENODL6诱饵载体的Y2HGold酵母菌与cDNA文库进行杂交筛选,结果获得一个能够显示蓝色的菌落。通过PCR扩增,在蓝色酵母菌中获得一段526 bp的非载体插入片段,与陆地棉基因组内基因WRKY47序列高度一致。通过同源扩增,从陆地棉中克隆到WRKY47开放读码框,全长1 587 bp,编码528个氨基酸残基。再次利用酵母双杂交技术确认了WRKY47与GhENODL6之间存在互作关系。综上,构建了重组载体pNC-GBKT7-ENODL6,并鉴定到与GhENODL6互作的蛋白WRKY47。

外源添加铁离子对向日葵大丽轮枝菌生物学特性及致病力的影响

为了探究铁离子对向日葵大丽轮枝菌生物学特性及致病力的影响,在培养基中外源添加铁离子后,对大丽轮枝菌的生长速度、产孢量、微菌核数量、粗毒素分泌量、细胞壁降解酶活性以及致病力进行了测定。结果表明,外源添加不同浓度的铁离子后,菌丝的生长速度和产孢量均呈现出递增趋势,相比对照,添加80μmol/L的铁离子后大丽轮枝菌的生长速度最快,菌落直径为68.81 mm,增长率为21.40%;产孢量为2.58×10^(7)个/mL,增长率为21.13%;微菌核数量也随着外源添加铁离子浓度的增加而增多,在培养5 d后,相比对照,其涨幅为51.53%;粗毒素分泌量在添加80μmol/L的铁离子后,增幅近1倍;细胞壁裂解酶活性随着外源铁离子浓度的增加而增强,并在80μmol/L时达到最强。此外,随着培养基中铁离子浓度的增加,大丽轮枝菌的致病力也相应增强,表现在当外源添加的铁离子浓度由0μmol/L增加至80μmol/L时,病情指数由35.00提高至62.20,增长率为77.71%。综上所述,外源添加铁离子不仅能够加速大丽轮枝菌的生长,促进产孢和微菌核的形成,还能够增强大丽轮枝菌的致病力。

棉花大丽轮枝菌(Verticillium dahliae)血清学检测——抗原处理的比较

分别以棉花黄萎病菌V20的菌丝研磨物、菌丝蛋白、超氧化物歧化酶酶带Ⅰ、超氧化物歧化酶酶带Ⅱ为抗原免疫家兔,制备了抗血清As1、As2、As3、As4。琼脂双扩散法(ADD)和间接ELISA方法测定其特异性,发现这4种抗血清既可与同种的抗原发生阳性反应,也可与不同种的抗原发生交叉反应。用异种抗原黑白轮枝菌和尖孢镰刀菌吸附这4种抗血清,排除其非特异性成分后,抗血清专化性明显提高,消除了交叉反应。特异性测定表明:经吸附后的4种抗血清可以准确地将大丽轮枝菌鉴定到种的水平,但仍不能区分其生理型和致病类型。另外,当分别使用菌丝研磨物或菌丝蛋白为特异性测定抗原时,ADD检测的结果虽然一致,但前者阳性反应沉淀线粗糙,轮廓不清晰,后者的沉淀线较细,且清晰、明显。因此适宜选择菌丝蛋白为抗原进行抗血清的特异性测定试验。
