Abstract:

The aim was to explore the role of the small G protein StRab5b in potato resistance to Verticillium wilt.The relative expression levels of the StRab5b gene in the roots of potato tissue culture seedlings(Hutou and Xiapodi)after inoculation with Verticillium dahliae were determined by qRT-PCR.The biomass of V.dahliae in the roots,the lesion area on potato leaves,the content of hydrogen peroxide(H2O2),the content of malondialdehyde(MDA),and the activity of antioxidant enzymes were detected in the transgenic potato lines L7,L8,and L10 overexpressing StRab5b(StRab5b-L7,StRab5b-L8,StRab5b-L10)and the non-transgenic plants(CK)after inoculation with V.dahliae.The disease index was calculated using the pot culture method with the StRab5b-L7 transgenic line and the non-transgenic plants(CK).The results showed that the expression of the StRab5b gene was induced in potato after inoculation with V.dahliae.Compared with 0 h after inoculation,the relative expression levels of Hutou and Xiapodi increased significantly by 701.12% and 649.41% at 72 h after inoculation,respectively.After inoculation with V.dahliae,overexpression of StRab5b enhanced the resistance of potato to Verticillium wilt.Compared with CK,the lesion area on potato leaves in StRab5b-L7,StRab5b-L8,and StRab5b-L10 decreased significantly by 78.56%,66.56%,and 59.76% at 96 h after inoculation,respectively;the biomass of V.dahliae in the roots decreased significantly by 73.07%,51.69%,and 23.38% at 168 h after inoculation,respectively;the MDA content decreased significantly by 47.13%,33.08%,and 14.70% at 96 h after inoculation,respectively;the H2O2 content increased significantly by 83.67%,48.38%,and 20.15% at 72 h after inoculation,respectively,and the CAT activity increased by 53.54%,33.28%,and 12.62%,respectively;the SOD activity increased significantly by 53.01%,36.36%,and 16.54% at 48 h after inoculation,respectively;the POD activity increased by 55.58%,27.18%,and 1.73% at 96 h after inoculation,respectively;the APX activity increased significantly by 63.69%,44.27%,and 17.11% at 72 h after inoculation,respectively.Compared with CK,the disease rate and disease index of the StRab5b-L7 transgenic line decreased significantly by 43.33 percentage points and 86.07%,respectively.In conclusion,overexpression of the StRab5b gene enhanced the resistance of potato to Verticillium wilt.
