Abstract:

To identify the Folcdc15 gene and its function in Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.lini through disruption of the gene and complementation test.After DNA sequencing of Folcdc15 gene,Split-Marker strategy was used to construct a deletion cassette containing hygromycin resistance gene(hph),which was transformed into protoplast of wild-type hm by PEG mediated method.Transformants were collected in the medium containing hygromycin and Folcdc15 deleted mutants were screened through PCR using positive and negative primers.The complementary vector pZLY1 containing Folcdc15 was constructed by using pZWH1 vector and transformed into the knockout mutant for complementation test.Compared with wild-type hm,the growth rate of deletion mutant ko1 decreased by 73%,and the mycelia morphology changed significantly and became shorter and more bifurcated.The number of conidia decreased significantly,and the septum and length of conidia increased.The infection experiment in flax showed that the virulence of deletion mutant ko1 was significantly reduced.The complementation test revealed that the revertant ca1 recovered phenotype of wild-type hm from the defects in conidiation,morphology of conidium,growth rate of colony,morphology of colony and pathogenicity caused by the Folcdc15 gene deletion.Folcdc15 is involved in the regulation of conidiogenesis and hyphal growth in F.oxysporum f.sp.lini.

Key words: Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.lini, Flax blight, Split-Marker, Folcdc15, Gene function, Pathogenicity
