Abstract:

In order to explore the mechanism of grape defense response to grape downy mildew,the leaves of Muscat and Moldova were inoculated with grape downy mildew in vitro and cultured in light incubator.The development of downy mildews was observed from macroscopic and microscopic aspect.In macroscopic,it was showed that white mildew layer appeared on the back of leaves of Muscat four days after inoculation,and the area of disease spots expanded with time,meanwhile chlorosis yellow spots appeared on the opposite position of the front side of leaves.However,there were only a few black spots on leaves of Moldova at the inoculation point.Under electron microscope,it was found that the spores of the pathogen invaded the stomata and colonized,and germinated new sporangium stalks,which released the spores and propagated on the leaves of Muscat.But the number of sporangia was small on the leaves of Moldova,and most of the stomata was closed,only with spores,hyphae and tissue fragments scattered around the stomata.Furthermore,transcriptome sequencing and differentially expressed genes were analyzed by Illumina high-throughput sequencing.A total of 664.86 Mb of high-quality reads were obtained by RNA-seq.GO enrichment analysis showed that differentially expressed genes were mainly concentrated in biological pathways(metabolic process,cellular process,response to stimulus and biological regulation category),cell components(cell, membrane, membrane part and organelle),molecular functions(catalytic activity and binding,transporter activity and transcription regulator activity).KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in the plant pathogen interaction pathway and MAPK signal transduction pathway.Nine genes that may be related to grape disease resistance were screened and verified by Real time PCR analysis,and the results were consistent with the transcriptome sequencing results.
