Abstract:

To study the resistance mechanism of TaHis gene to Fusarium head blight(FHB)in wheat,the full-length coding sequence of TaHis was cloned,and the bait vector pGBKT7-TaHis was constructed,which was then used as bait for screening a yeast two-hybrid library of wheat ear induced by FHB.After obtaining the interacting proteins,yeast two-hybridization and bimolecular fluorescence complementation were further used to verify the interaction between these proteins,and RT-qPCR was used to analyze the expression pattern of TaHis interacting protein induced by FHB in resistant and susceptible cultivars respectively.The results showed that the bait vector pGBKT7-TaHis was successfully constructed,and 18 yeast monoclones were obtained on the four deficient selection medium(SD/-Leu/-Trp/-His/-Ade)after yeast two-hybrid library screening.Blast analysis showed that a total of 5 proteins were obtained,and the coding sequence of serine/arginine-rich mRNA splicing factor SR45a-like(TaSR)was identified in 6 colonies.We cloned the full-length coding region of TaSR gene from Bainong 4299 and constructed pGADT7-TaSR vector.The experiment of yeast two-hybrid showed that the yeast cells co-transformed with pGADT7-TaSR and pGBKT7-TaHis grew well and appeared blue on SD/-Leu/-Trp/-His/-Ade/ X-α-Gal/AbA,indicating that TaSR and TaHis directly interacted in yeast cells.The vectors of YC-TaHis and YN-TaSR were constructed,and the bimolecular fluorescence complementary experiments were performed.The results showed that strong fluorescence signals were generated in tobacco cells co-transferred with YC-TaHis and YN-TaSR,which further verified the interaction between TaSR and TaHis.RT-qPCR analysis of TaSR gene expression showed that TaSR expression was up-regulated in resistant cultivar Bainong 4299,while down-regulated in susceptible cultivar Bainong 607 upon FHB infection,indicating a positive correlation between TaSR expression level and FHB resistance in wheat.To sum up,the interaction between wheat TaSR and TaHis was proved,and TaSR expression level was positively correlated with FHB resistance in wheat.
