Abstract:

In order to reveal the molecular mechanism of MiPDCD6 protein suppressing tomato PTI immunity,the MiPDCD6 overexpression seedlings of tomato variety Xinjinfeng 1 were used as experimental materials,and the tissue culture seedlings of tomato variety Xinjinfeng 1 were used as control.Transcriptome sequencing was performed on tomato MiPDCD6 overexpressing seedlings and control seedlings,respectively.With tomato cultivars Heinz 1706,comparing the genome as a reference genome,FPKM method was used to calculate quantity of gene expression,set parameters(|log2 FC|>1 and P<0.05)in screening the differentially expressed genes(DEGs).Gene ontology(GO)database was used to analyze the GO functional enrichment of DEGs,count the number of DEGs in each GO term,calculate the significance of gene enrichment,and find out the functional term with significant enrichment.KEGG database was used for Pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs,and hypergeometric distribution test was used to calculate the significance of enrichment of DEGs in each Pathway.The enrichment degree of KEGG was measured by FDR and gene number.Combined with gene differential expression analysis and functional enrichment analysis,the effect of MiPDCD6 protein on tomato PTI immune-related pathway genes was studied.The results showed that there were 2 366 DEGs in MiPDCD6 overexpressed tomato plants compared with wild-type tomato,including 1 354 up-regulated genes and 1 012 down-regulated genes.In these DEGs,a large number of differentially expressed genes were concentrated in KEGG pathways such as plant hormone signal transduction(sly4075),plant-pathogen interaction(sly04626),plant MAPK signal pathway(sly04016)and procycloid biosynthesis(sly00940)through GO and KEGG annotation.SA biosynthesis pathways included ICS and PAL.In the MiPDCD6 overexpressed tomato plants,PAL1 and PAL-like genes in SA synthesis pathways and TGA9,TGA10-like and PR1a2 genes in SA signal transduction pathways were significantly down-regulated,suggesting that MiPDCD6 may inhibit SA synthesis thus inhibiting plant PTI immunity.
