Abstract:

In order to explore the mechanism of AcWRKY70 transcription factor in response to kiwifruit canker stress in different resistant varieties,AcWRKY70 gene was cloned from the leaf cDNA of resistant variety Xuxiang and highly susceptible variety Hongyang kiwifruit.The sequence structure characteristics of Hongyang AcWRKY70 gene,subcellular localization and evolutionary relationship of Hongyang AcWRKY70 protein were analyzed. The expression patterns of AcWRKY70 gene,including the tissue expression and different expression in resistant kiwifruit varietie and susceptible variety under Pseudomonas syringae pv. Actinidiae(Psa),salicylic acid(SA)and methyl jasmonate(MeJA)treatment were analyzed by RT-qPCR. Results showed that the full length of the Hongyang AcWRKY70 gene was 906 bp(GenBank accession number was MW881147). AcWRKY70 gene contained 885 bp of open reading frame(ORF)and encoded 294 amino acids. AcWRKY70 protein had typical WRKYGQK domain and the zinc finger structure was C2-HC. It belonged to class Ⅲ group of WRKY family and islocated in the nucleus. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that it had the closest genetic relationship with tea plant. Both Hongyang and Xuxiang AcWRKY70 genes had the highest expression level in leaves. Under Psa treatment, the highest expression of AcWRKY70 gene reached at 12 h in Xuxiang, the expression of Hongyang reached the maximum at 48 h.Under the co-treatment of salicylic acid and Psa(SA+Psa),Methyl jasmonate and Psa(MeJA+Psa),the highest expression of AcWRKY70 gene reached at 12 h in Xuxiang. Under SA+Psa and MeJA+Psa treatment,the expression of Hongyang reached the maximum at 72,24 h,respectively. AcWRKY70 gene played a certain role in resistance stress of kiwifruit,and the response mechanism to pathogens in different resistance kiwifruit varieties may vary considerably.
