摘要:

小麦条锈病是由小麦条锈菌引起的重大病害,严重威胁我国粮食安全。夏孢子是条锈菌繁殖、传播和侵染的关键介质,但其产孢相关基因的调控机制尚不清楚。筛选并验证小麦条锈菌侵染前期高表达的候选基因PsCON6的功能,为解析其致病机制提供新线索。通过同源克隆从小麦条锈菌中获取PsCON6基因,利用qRT-PCR分析其在侵染前期的表达模式。通过生物信息学技术分析预测PsCON6蛋白的氨基酸序列、保守结构域及理化性质。通过寄主介导的基因沉默(BSMV-HIGS)技术瞬时沉默PsCON6,检测寄主活性氧面积、病原菌菌丝长度与面积及病原菌生物量。通过瞬时表达确定PsCON6蛋白的亚细胞定位。PsCON6在小麦条锈菌侵染前期显著高表达,其编码的蛋白含2个conidiation-specific protein 6保守结构域,由83个氨基酸组成。HIGS沉默PsCON6后,寄主活性氧水平显著升高,病原菌菌丝长度和面积显著减少,但孢子量未受显著影响。亚细胞定位表明,PsCON6定位于细胞膜。结果表明,PsCON6可能参与调控小麦条锈菌的菌丝生长过程,但对夏孢子形成无直接影响,其功能可能存在冗余,为揭示条锈菌致病机制提供了新靶点,并为后续深入解析其分子机制奠定了基础。

Abstract:

Wheat stripe rust,caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp.tritici,is a major disease that severely threatens China's food security.Urediniospores are key agents for the reproduction,dissemination,and infection of the pathogen,but the regulatory mechanisms of sporulation-related genes remain unclear.This study aims to screen and validate the function of the candidate gene PsCON6,which is highly expressed during the early infection stage of P.striiformis,to provide new insights into its pathogenic mechanisms.The PsCON6 gene was obtained from P.striiformis via homologous cloning,and its expression pattern during early infection was analyzed using qRT-PCR.Bioinformatics technology analysis of the amino acid sequence,conserved domains and physicochemical properties of the PsCON6 protein.Barley Stripe mosaic virus host-induced gene silencing(BSMV-HIGS)was used to transiently silence PsCON6,followed by measurements of host reactive oxygen species accumulation,fungal hyphal length and area,and pathogen biomass.Subcellular localization of PsCON6 was determined through transient expression assays.PsCON6 was significantly upregulated during the early infection stage of P.striiformis.The encoded protein contained two conserved conidiation-specific protein 6 domains and consisted of 83 amino acids.After HIGS-mediated silencing of PsCON6,the level of reactive oxygen species in the host significantly increased,while the length and area of the fungal hyphae significantly decreased,whereas urediniospore production remained unaffected.Subcellular localization revealed that PsCON6 was localized to the cell membrane.PsCON6 likely participates in regulating hyphal growth in P.striiformis but does not directly influence urediniospore formation,suggesting potential functional redundancy.The research findings provide new targets for revealing the pathogenic mechanism of wheat stripe rust and lay the foundation for further in-depth analysis of its molecular mechanisms.
