The aim was to study the biological function of FolSid1 gene in Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.lini and its protein localization in Fusarium by cloning the gene.The gene sequence of FolSid1 was cloned by homologous comparison with F.oxysporum, and based on the principle of homologous recombination, a gene deletion box containing hydromycin resistance gene(hph)was constructed by Split Marker strategy,and the gene deletion mutant(ΔFolSid1)was obtained by PEG-mediated transfer into protoplasts of the wild type.pZESH1,a green fluorescent expression vector containing FolSid1 gene was constructed,and the subcellular localization of FolSid1-EGFP fusion protein was performed.The results showed that the sequence of FolSid1 gene consisted of 5 392 bp,which contained 3 introns.Compared with the wild type and the external insertion mutant, the knockout mutant ΔFolSid1 conidia showed a significant decrease in yield, although they did not differ in morphology and size; morphological observations revealed that the growth rate of colonies from the knockout mutant was significantly slower. The experiments of subcellular localization showed that FolSid1 protein was located in the cell membrane of mycelia cell.FolSid1 gene regulated the vegetative growth of mycelium,conidiogenesis and pathogenicity of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.lini.

To understand the member characteristics of the WRKY transcription factor family in hydrangea and their roles in response to leaf spot disease,this study utilized the bioinformatics method to characterize WRKY family members in Hydrangea macrophylla Endless Summer,and systematically analyzed the protein physicochemical features,gene structure,systematic evolution,collinearity and expression patterns under the infection with Corynespora cassiicola of WRKY family members.The results showed that there were 84 non-redundant HmWRKY members in H.macrophylla genome.All of the HmWRKYs were hydrophilic proteins and unevenly distributed on 18 chromosomes of H.macrophylla,encoding 112—1 046 amino acids.In addition,HmWRKY members were divided into 3 subgroups(Group Ⅰ—Group Ⅲ),which contained a conserved DNA binding domain composed of WRKYGQK and C2H2.The sequence length of HmWRKY varies greatly from 512 bp to 40 338 bp,and 8 collinear gene pairs with Ka/Ks ratios less than 1 were detected,indicating that the HmWRKY family experienced purification selection in evolution.18 HmWRKY members showed significantly differential expression after infection with C.cassiicola,of which 9 up-regulated and 9 down-regulated.The results indicated that these HmWRKY genes might play important roles in response to leaf spot disease of hydrangea.

Bioinformatics and expression patterns of Dicer-like(DCL),Argonaute(AGO)and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase(RDR)gene families in the whole genome of Solanum habrochaites were analyzed,so as to provide references for further study on the functions of DCL,AGO and RDR gene families in the response of S.habrochaites to abiotic and viral infection.Using Arabidopsis thaliana DCL,AGO and RDR genes as reference sequences,the genome of S.habrochaites LA1777 was searched by local perl language and software such as Pfam and SMART,and the members of ShDCL,ShAGO and ShRDR gene families were determined.Bioinformatics analysis of DCL,AGO and RDR family genes in S.habrochaites was carried out by means of ExPASy,GSDS 2.0,MEGA,Tbtools and SWISS-MODEL.According to abiotic stress treatment,Tomato chlorosis virus(ToCV)treatment and Real-time Fluorescence Quantitative PCR technology,the expression patterns of these genes were analyzed.Seven ShDCL,15 ShAGO and 6 ShRDR genes were identified from S.habrochaites,which were distributed on chromosome 5,7 and 6 respectively.The encoded proteins were similar in structure to DCL,AGO and RDR in other plants,and all of them contained conserved domains unique to this family.Phylogenetic analysis showed that these genes were divided into 4 subgroups,and there were high structural and functional similarities between S.habrochaites and S.lycopersicum.ShDCL2a,ShDCL2c,ShDCL3,ShDCL4,ShAGO1b,ShAGO3,ShAGO4b,ShAGO5,ShAGO7,ShAGO10a,ShAGO10b,ShRDR1,ShRDR2,ShRDR3a,ShRDR6a and ShRDR6b were significantly up-regulated after various abiotic stresses and ToCV infection.It is speculated that these genes play important roles in abiotic stress and virus infection.

The adult plant resistance gene Lr12 exhibits excellent resistance in production systems.To fine map and develop reliable molecular markers for Lr12,a cross was made between the susceptible variety Thatcher and the resistant near-isogenic line RL6011 containing the Lr12 gene.The F₁ generation resulting from this cross was self-pollinated to generate F₂ individual plants and F_2∶3 families.Field evaluations were conducted using a mixture of five highly virulent leaf rust pathotypes (PHTT, THKS, THTT, PHTS, and PHKS) to inoculate F₂ individual plants and F_2∶3 families for adult plant resistance assessment and genetic analysis of resistance.Subsequently,genotyping was performed using a 16K liquid chip on 10 resistant and 10 susceptible individuals from the F₂ generation to identify SNP markers closely linked to Lr12.This enabled the determination of the chromosomal physical interval containing the resistance gene,the development of SSR molecular markers,and the construction of a genetic linkage map.The results indicate that the segregation ratio of resistance to leaf rust in 3 494 F₂ individuals derived from the RL6011(Lr12)/Thatcher cross was consistent with a 3∶1 ratio ( {\mathrm{\chi }}_{3:1}^2=0.14;P=0.71). In the assessment of 685 F_2∶3 families, the segregation ratio among resistant individuals, resistant heterozygous individuals, and susceptible individuals conformed to a 1∶2∶1 ratio ( {\mathrm{\chi }}_{1:2:1}^2=2.01;P=0.37), suggesting that Lr12 is a dominant gene and the population segregation follows Mendelian single-gene inheritance patterns. Genetic linkage map analysis localized the adult plant leaf rust resistance gene Lr12 between SSR molecular markers YK12817 and YK12928,within a genetic interval of 0.38 cM.This corresponds to a physical interval of 2.09 Mb within the physical range of 579.44 Mb to 581.53 Mb on chromosome 4BL of the Chinese Spring reference genome(IWGSC.Ref.V1.0).These findings provide a solid basis for predicting candidate genes.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK or MKK) plays an important role in plant growth,development and stress responses.In order to identify MAPKK genes related to rust resistance in foxtail millet and provide candidate genes for the study of rust resistance mechanism and disease-resistant molecular breeding of foxtail millet,the members of MAPKK gene family (SiMKKs) in foxtail millet were identified and analyzed at the whole genome level by bioinformatics methods.Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression level of SiMKKs gene in different tissues,under the stress of rust fungus and exogenous hormone treatment.Excel,MEGA and DnaSP were used to analyze the variation sites and haplotypes of the SiMKKs gene related to rust resistance in 70 re-sequenced foxtail millet varieties,and the excellent rust-resistant haplotypes were identified based on phenotype analysis.The results showed that a total of 10 SiMKKs were identified in foxtail millet,which were distributed on 5 chromosomes.The number of exons ranged from 1 to 11,and the encoded protein contained 331-523 amino acids.The SiMKKs were divided into 4 groups.Groups A and B contained S/T-X₅-S/T motif,while SiMKKs in groups C and D did not have this motif.Conserved Motif 1-Motif 6 existed in all SiMKK proteins.The promoter region of each SiMKK gene contained 1 to 3 biotic stress-related cis-acting elements,such as defense and stress response,methyl jasmonate(MeJA) response,salicylic acid(SA) response and elicitor activation.Except SiMKK10-1 and SiMKK10-3,the other 8 SiMKK genes were expressed with different degrees in different tissues,and under rust infection,SA and MeJA treatments.The highest expression of SiMKK4,SiMKK5 and SiMKK10-2 were in roots at booting stage,and the highest expression of SiMKK6-1 and SiMKK6-2 were in stems at booting stage.The expression of SiMKK4 was up-regulated in the resistant response and down-regulated in the susceptible response within 24 h after inoculation,and its expression was related to disease resistance.The expression of SiMKK4 was up-regulated within 16 h and then down-regulatedafter SA and MeJA treatments,and showed continuous changes during SA treatment.In addition,the expression patterns of the remaining 7 SiMKK genes in SA and MeJA treatments were also consistent.The coding region of SiMKK4 gene contained 7 haplotypes and Hap_1 was the dominant haplotype,and no key variation sites related to disease resistance were found.In summary,the expression of SiMKK4 is identified to be associated with resistance to rust disease in foxtail millet,and SiMKK4 may participate in the early disease resistance response of foxtail millet through SA and MeJA signaling pathways.

Abstract: Tetraploid wheat is the ancestor specie of common wheat and an important food crop.Aiming to provide new resistance sources for wheat variety breeding,the resistance tetraploid wheat germplasm was explored and their resistance genes were identified.TDI-1 is a cultivated emmer wheat that has been immune to powdery mildew in the field for many years.To determine the resistance genes carried by TDI-1,and provide a theoretical basis for genetic improvement of wheat resistance,a durum wheat TDU-1 that was susceptible to powdery mildew was used to hybridize with TDI-1,and their F₁ plants,F₂ population,and F_2:3 lines were obtained.Genetic analysis of resistance was conducted on parents TDI-1,TDU-1,and their hybrid offspring that were inoculated with powdery mildew isolate E09.Then,bulked segregant analysis method combined with molecular markers was used to map the resistance gene.The results showed that TDI-1 was susceptible to E09 during the seedling stage but immune during the adult stage.F₁ plants derived from the cross of TDI-1 and TDU-1 were immune to E09 during the adult stage.The resistance of adult F₂ individuals was separated,and the ratio of resistant and susceptible plants was 3:1($χ_{3:1}^{2}$=0.11,P=0.74);the ratio of the number of homozygous resistant,separated resistant,and homozygous susceptible F_2:3 lines was 1:2:1($χ_{1:2:1}^{2}$=0.47,P=0.79),indicating that the resistance to powdery mildew in the adult stage of TDI-1 was controlled by one dominant gene,temporarily named PmTDI-1.Subsequently,a set of molecular markers was used to amplify the parents and their F₂ population,and then four markers on chromosome 2A,including Xwmc407,NRM-2AS29,NRM-2AS45 and NRM-2AS84, confirmed to be linked to PmTDI-1. PmTDI-1 was between the flanking markers NRM-2AS45 and NRM-2AS84,with genetics distances of 1.8 cM and 4.6 cM,respectively.Therefore,the adult stage powdery mildew resistance gene PmTDI-1 was preliminarily localized on chromosome 2A.This study identified a novel dominant adult-plant-resistance powdery mildew gene PmTDI-1 from tetraploid wheat TDI-1.

A lysozyme gene,MseLYS,was cloned from oriental armyworm,and then,its prokaryotic expression vector was constructed by the prokaryotic expression system,and finally,the expression pattern of this gene was detected in different stages and tissues of oriental armyworm,to provide theoretical reference for exploring the function and structure of the MseLYS and lay a foundation for further study of the antibacterial function and physiological mechanism.We cloned the sequence of the lysozyme gene MseLYS from the midgut of Mythimna separata by reverse transcription PCR(RT-PCR)and rapid amplification of cDNA ends(RACE).The open reading frame(ORF)sequence with the signal peptide removed was ligated to the expression vector pET-30a(+),and the inducible expression was carried out by IPTG.Quantitative PCR was used to detect the spatiotemporal expression pattern of this gene.Sequence analysis showed that the full length cDNA of MseLYS was 729 bp,and its ORF was 426 bp,encoding a total of 141 amino acid residues.Meanwhile,the 5'non-coding region and 3'non-coding region included 75,228 bp,respectively.The isoelectric point and molecular weight of the protein encoded by MseLYS were 7.72 and 16.13 ku,respectively.Phylogenetic tree demonstrated that MseLYS was clustered with other species' C-type lysozyme,and was highly consistent with other insect amino acid sequences,suggesting that MseLYS was a C-type lysozyme.SDS-PAGE showed that the expressed protein was consistent with the expected size,which was about 20 ku,indicating that MseLYS can be expressed efficiently in BL21(DE3).Instar expression profiling analysis illustrated that there were significant differences in the expression levels of MseLYS gene among different developmental stages of larvae,males,and females.The expression levels of MseLYS gene were higher in the late larval and pupal stages of oriental armyworm,while the expression levels were lower in other developmental stages.The tissue expression analysis results indicated that there were significant differences in the expression levels of this gene among different tissues of male adults,with higher expression levels in the fat body and thorax;this gene expression also showed significant differences among different tissues of female adults,with higher expression levels in antennae,wings,and cuticle.To sum up,the full-length sequence of MseLYS is cloned,its prokaryotic expression vector is successfully constructed,which could efficiently express the target protein,and its expression pattern is clarified in different tissues and ages.

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.

GhENODL6 has been discovered to be involved in the resistance of Gossypium hirsutum to Verticillium dahliae.To further reveal its role in cotton resistance against Verticillium wilt,GhENODL6 open reading frame was inserted into the yeast expression vector pNC-GBKT7 using Nimble Cloning technology to construct the recombinant plasmid pNC-GBKT7-ENODL6.The resulting plasmid was successfully transferred into yeast Y2HGold and exhibited normal growth on DDO medium,while failing to grow on QDO/X/A medium,indicating that the GhENODL6 protein did not exhibit toxicity towards the yeast host and lacked autoactivating activity.Subsequently,the Y2HGold yeast carrying the pNC-GBKT7-ENODL6 decoy vector was subjected to hybridization with a cDNA library and screened for colonies displaying blue coloration.Through PCR amplification,a 526 bp non-vector insert was obtained in these blue yeasts,which showed high sequence consistency with the WRKY47 gene within G.hirsutum genome.By employing homologous amplification techniques,we successfully cloned the WRKY47 open reading frame from upland cotton,which spanned 1 587 bp in length and encoded 528 amino acid residues.Furthermore,a yeast two-hybrid assay confirmed an interaction between WRKY47 and GhENODL6.To summarize our findings,the study constructed the recombinant vector pNC-GBKT7-ENODL6 and identified WRKY47 as an interacting protein of GhENODL6.

To investigate the genetic mechanism behind Annong 1687's ability to resist stripe rust,expedite the dissemination of Annong 1687 wheat variety,offer guidance for enhancing the genetics of novel wheat varieties,and mitigate the damage inflicted by wheat stripe rust on Chinese wheat production.This study employed Annong 1687(Annong 1687 is a semi-winter wheat type with resistance to the less significant physiological species CYR32.It was developed through the crossing of Annong 1106 and Xinong 822)with its sister lines,and parents.The wheat 55K SNP microarray was used to scan the entire genome of Annong 1687 as well as parents and sister lines.Concurrently,Annong 1687 and sister lines were inoculated and characterized employing the physiological race CYR32.The resistance to stripe rust grades was noted at the adult stage of the plant,and the resulting combined inoculation and field phenotypes were evaluated for stripe rust resistance of the wheat lines.The study revealed that Annong 1687 and five sister lines (lines 24,26,28,30 and 140) exhibited moderate resistance to stripe rust,while two sister lines (lines 89 and 105) displayed moderate susceptibility to this disease.Based on genomic differential data comparing Annong 1687 to its sister strains,there was evidence of enriched differential SNP loci in the 31—37 Mb segment of chromosome 2A's short arm,indicating possible presence of a gene or genes responsible for the result.To eliminate any potential interference from other stripe rust resistance genes,we verified the known stripe rust resistance genes present on the parental and chromosome 2A.Our findings indicated the possibility of a new stripe rust resistance gene in the 31—37 Mb interval of the short arm of chromosome 2A in Annong 1687.Experimental and bioinformatic analyses demonstrated that the TraesCS2A01G070700 gene exhibited disparity in the NBS structural domain of resistant and susceptible lines within this interval.Additionally,susceptible lines possessed three missense mutations within the NBS structural domain.It was hypothesised that TraesCS2A01G070700 represented a candidate gene for resistance to stripe rust in Annong 1687.

In order to explore the mechanism of plant in response to Verticillium wilt pathogen infection,Dali wild eggplant (M239) was took as the material.By the artificial inoculation of Verticillium dahliae,four key physiological indicators of M239 root were determined at 0,6,12,24,and 48 h after inoculation with V.dahliae, which namely the peroxidase (POD) activity,catalase (CAT) activity,phenylalanine ammonilyase (PAL) activity and the soluble protein (SP) content.The result showed that 12 and 24 h after inoculation with V.dahliae were determined as the proper sampling time points for proteome analysis.On this basis,iTRAQ technique was used to analyze the protein changes of M239 root after inoculation with V.dahliae.Compared with CK,463 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were found in M239 root at 12 h after inoculation with V.dahliae,among which 305 DEPs were down-regulated and 158 were up-regulated.At 24 h after inoculation with V.dahliae in M239,456 DEPs were induced to express by pathogens,including 296 down-regulated and 160 up-regulated proteins.These proteins were mainly enriched in carbon metabolism,glyoxylate and dicarboxylic metabolism,biosynthesis of secondary metabolites,pyruvate metabolism,and metabolic pathways.Compared with the reported Verticillium wilt resistant materials,it was found that the number of proteins and metabolic pathways involved in the defense response of M239 in the process of responding to the infection of V.dahliae was less.Therefore,it failed to form an effective defense network,and finally manifested as susceptible to the disease.

To reveal the diversity characteristics of endophytic bacteria in different cultivars and organs,and clarify the correlation between endophytic bacteria community structure and host varieties,organ types and disease resistance and susceptible characteristics.Six different varieties of foxtail millet,Jigu 22,Honggu,Longgu No.11 and Xiaoqinggu,Shiliuzi and Nenxuan 16,which were resistant (susceptible) to Fusarium head blight,were selected as materials.The leaves,roots,stems,leaf sheaths and mature spikes of foxtail millet,were taken respectively.DNA was extracted for PCR amplification of 16S rDNA V3—V4 region,and Miseq library was constructed for high-throughput sequencing.Microbial diversity was analyzed by Major biological cloud platform.There were certain differences in endophyte species composition between susceptible and resistant varieties,the dominant populations of endophytes were Proteobacteria and Actinobacteriota,followed by Bacteroidota and Firmicutes,Myxococota and Chloroflexi were lower relative abundance followed by Gemmatimondota and Fusobacteriota.Alpha diversity analysis showed that the resistant cultivars had higher panicle community richness at leaf and maturity spikes and higher panicle diversity at leaf,root and maturity spikes.The susceptible varieties had higher richness of root and stem community and higher diversity of stem and leaf sheath;PCoA analysis showed that organ type had more effect on endophytic community structure than variety.Species composition analysis showed that the diversity of endophytic flora in foxtail millet was affected by different varieties and different parts,and the species of endophytic flora in different parts were quite different.The diversity of endophytic flora between susceptible cultivars Xiaoqinggu,Shiliuzi and Nenxuan 16 and resistant cultivars Jigu 22,Honggu and Longgu No.11 was quite different.The resistant cultivars had NB1-j in leaf sheath stage,and the ears had Acidobacteriota in mature stage.The study showed that the diversity and community structure of endophytic bacteria were affected by different organs and varieties of the foxtail millet,and the organ types had more influence on the community structure of endophytic bacteria than varieties.

To explore the effect of planting density on disease and quality of tobacco and the response characteristics of soil microorganisms in rainy regions,a field experiment was conducted in the Rainy Regions.The random block design was adopted to study the effects of different planting densities(CK was 16 650 and T₁ was 18 525 plants/ha) on yield of tobacco and soil microbial community structure during the experimental periods. Results suggested that:compared with the CK treatment,T1 treatment increased by 6.02% for the tobacco plant height,and 8.65% for yield,respectively. Compared with CK treatment,T1 treatment decreased by 15.38% for tobacco black shank,11.76% for tobacco black root rot,and 18.18% for tobacco anthracnose at the mature stage,respectively. T1 treatment increased by 1.62%for the species diversity and decreased by 0.99% for the richness of the rhizosphere soil bacterial community,increased by 3.76% for the species richness and decreased by 4.71% for the diversity of the fungal community when compared with CK treatment. The bacterial and fungal community structure of the T1 treatment was similar to that of the CK treatment,but the microbial dominant taxa in the soil samples was inconsistent. In the horizontal structure of phylum,T1 treatment relative abundance of bacteria in the soil Proteobacter,Acidobacteria and Actinobacteria,and fungal in the soil Ascomycota was higher. In the horizontal structure of genera,T1 treatment relative abundance of bacteria Sphingomonas and fungi Penicillium was significantly improved. Redundancy analysis (RDA)showed that environmental factors (sunshine duration,rainfall,and temperature)significantly affected the bacterial and fungal community structure,and the influence of soil bacterial community was rainfall>temperature>sunshine duration,the influence of soil fungal community was sunshine duration>rainfall>temperature,respectively. This study indicated that properly increasing the planting density of flue-cured tobacco in rainy regions could improve the soil microenvironment,and reduce tobacco diseases,which could improve the quality of flue-cured tobacco and increase the income of tobacco farmers.

To establish a competitive ELISA method for the rapid detection of antibodies to Akabane disease virus. Balb/C mice were immunized with AKV virus,and their splenocytes were immunofused with SP2/0 cells to obtain monoclonal antibodies against AKV. Using the SBV N protein expressed by Bac-to-Bac baculovirus as a diagnostic specific antigen,and goat anti-murine HRP-IgG as a secondary antibody,a competitive ELISA method for AKV antibody detection was established and optimized. A hybridoma cell line that could secrete monoclonal antibody AKV nucleoprotein antibody was obtained with continuous and stable reproduction,and the monoclonal antibody subtype was identified as:heavy chain IgG1 and light chain kappa,which could only react positively with AKV virus,and did not react specifically with viral antigens such as BTV,FAMD,and EHDV virus.The established detection method for AKV antibody ELISA showed that the optimal coating concentration of diagnostic antigen was 0.5 μg/mL,1∶1 000 antibody dilution ratio,1∶50 serum dilution ratio,1∶2 000 secondary antibody dilution ratio,5% BSA,37 ℃ blocking for 2 h,and it was determined that the serum suppression rate was positive when it was greater than or equal to 44%,and it was negative when it was less than or equal to 44%. The established ELISA method sensitivity and specificity identification results are consistent with the ID Screen AKV Competition assay.A hybridoma cell line secreting AKV N protein was successfully prepared,and the established ELISA detection method can be used to detect AKV antibodies in animals,which lays a foundation for further research and industrialization of AKV antibody diagnostic reagents.

Genomic-wide identification of systematic work on the SKS gene family in cotton has not been reported.Identifying SKS (Skewed5 similar) gene family members and analyzing evolutionary relationship in Gossypium hirsutum,and analyzing the mechanism of GhSKS13 gene regulating cotton disease resistance are expected to provide a new direction for the cultivation of resistant plants.Here,the members of upland cotton SKS family were identified by bioinformatics at the genome-wide based on published genomic data of upland cotton genetic standard line TM-1,and G.hirsutum variety CRI-14 was used as the material.And chromosome distribution,evolutionary relationships,gene structure,and collinearity of SKS family members were predicted.Then,the expression pattern of GhSKS13 was analyzed by Real-time Quantitative PCR and virus-induced gene silencing was employed for preliminary investigation of the function of GhSKS13 in cotton resistance to Verticillium dahliae.A total of 48 upland cotton SKS genes were identified,unevenly distributed on 19 chromosomes,clustered into 5 subgroups with highly conserved gene sequences.Collinearity analysis revealed that the upland cotton SKS gene family was subject to purifying selection.Expression pattern analysis showed that GhSKS13 was predominantly expressed in upland cotton root tissues and significantly up-regulated by V.dahliae infection. GhSKS13-silenced reduced plants resistance to V.dahliae and suppressed the expression of the pathogen-related genes including GhPR1, GhPR2,GhPR3 and GhPR5 compared to control plants. GhSKS13-silenced plants invaded by V.dahliae showed significantly lower hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) deposition compared to the control,suggesting that GhSKS13 promotes the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).In conclusion,this study clarified the phylogenetic relationships,chromosomal distribution characteristics and gene structure characteristics of upland cotton SKS family members,and elucidated the involvement of GhSKS13 in upland cotton plant resistance to V.dahliae.

In order to excavate the mycovirus resources in Ustilaginoidea virens and deeply analyze the relationship between the genome organization and function of a novel mycovirus,it took a U.virens strain Uv321 with abnormal phenotype,isolated from Hainan Province,as the research object,and identified the species of the novel mycovirus in the strain Uv321 on the basis of the previous meta-transcriptome data,a series of studies have been carried out around the novel mycovirus.The results showed that a novel mycovirus was identified in strain Uv321,named Ustilaginoidea viruses botourmiavirus 7 (UvBV7).The genome of UvBV7 is positive single-stranded RNA(+ssRNA),with a total length of 2 406 nt and a GC-content of 53.78%,containing an open reading frame(ORF)encoding RNA-dependent RNA polymerase(RdRP),which encodes 643 amino acids with a molecular weight of about 72.727 ku.The prediction of the protein secondary structure of the viral terminal showed that the 5' and 3' terminal bases of UvBV7 were complementary and paired,forming a hairpin structure.The BlastP alignment showed that UvBV7 had the highest similarity with the virus Erysiphe necator associated ourmia-like virus 72,which belonged to the genus Botoulivirus in the family Botourmiaviridae,but only 44.52%.The multiple alignment results based on the RdRP sequences of UvBV7 and other similar viruses showed that there were 8 conserved domains in the RdRP amino acid sequences of UvBV7 and the members of the family Botourmiaviridae.The GDD motif was found in the Ⅵ conserved domain,which is the typical highly conserved core motif of viral RdRP proteins.The phylogenetic tree constructed based on the amino acid sequence of the viral RdRP also indicated that UvBV7 clustered with the members belonging to the genus Botoulivirus.Therefore,UvBV7 is a novel mycovirus belonging to the genus Botoulivirus in the family Botourmiaviridae.The results of dual cultures of different strains of U.virens showed that UvBV7 could be transmitted horizontally between vegetative compatibility strains,but the mycelial tip-ribavirin,heat-ribavirin and protoplast regeneration-ribavirin treatments were unable to eliminate the mycovirus UvBV7 in strain Uv321.In conclusion,this study not only enriched the diversity of mycoviruses in U.virens,but also provided potential biocontrol agents with hypovirulence for the biocontrol of rice false smut.

The full-length sequence of Diapausin,a novel antimicrobial peptide gene,was obtained from the third instar of oriental armyworm(Mythimna separata)by RT-PCR and RACE.And then,the amino acid sequence of Diapausin gene was analyzed by bioinformatics software.Finally,the prokaryotic expression system was used to induce the protein expression.This study would lay a theoretical foundation for further parsing of the function and structure of Diapausin gene in M.separata. Results showed that the novel antimicrobial peptide gene Diapausin was successfully cloned from M.separata and named Mysdiap (GenBank No.AZJ51075).The total length of this gene was 537 bp,with the 5' and 3' non-coding ends of 63,279 bp,respectively.The full length of the open reading frame was 195 bp,encoding 64 amino acid residues.The molecular weight and the isoelectric point of the protein were 7.13 ku and 5.59,respectively.The first 24 N-terminal amino acid residues of Mysdiap were signal peptide sequences.Multiple alignment of amino acid sequences showed that Mysdiap had a highly conserved region ECCRAHG.The recombinant expression plasmid pET-Mysdiap was successfully constructed and induced to express proteins by IPTG in Escherichia coli.The molecular weight of the expressed recombinant protein was about 20 ku,which could exist in both inclusion bodies and soluble proteins.In summary,the full-length sequence of the novel antimicrobial peptide gene Mysdiap was cloned from M.separata and successfully induced to express proteins in E.coli.

Basic leucine zipper(bZIP)transcription factor protein is a kind of transcription factor with conservative structure and function in animals,plants and microorganisms.In order to clarify the function and mechanism of bZIP transcription factor in plant pathogenic fungi,and further determine its relationship with the growth,development and pathogenicity of the pathogen,the StbZIP9 gene was cloned from Setosphaeria turcica 01-23(GenBank No.XM _ 008032179.1).StbZIP9 is a member of the bZIP transcription factor family.The analysis of the gene structure and protein characteristics showed that the DNA sequence was 788 bp in length,with an open reading frame of 726 bp,encoding 241 amino acids.The encoded protein contained a highly conserved homologous domain BRLZ in fungi.The RNA-seq data of the gene during the growth and development of the pathogen and the process of infecting the host were analyzed.It was found that the expression level of StbZIP9 was 2 to 4 times higher than that in the appressorium and germ tube period compared with the mycelium period.After 24,72 h of infection of maize leaves,the gene expression increased from scratch and continued to increase,indicating that StbZIP9 was associated with appressorium development and germ tube formation and played an important role in the process of pathogen infecting host cells.Further,bioinformatics techniques were used to predict its binding conserved motifs and regulatory target genes.The binding motif was NNTWACGTNN,including the bZIP transcription factor recognition core sequence ACGT,and the downstream target genes of StbZIP9 were predicted according to the sequence.Combined with the expression pattern analysis using the RNA-seq data,four downstream target genes(protein IDs in the JGI database were :132893,163024,162798,40466)were obtained,and the functional annotation table was obtained.The functional annotation revealed its involvement in many biological processes, such as polymerization and transport of cell wall components, host infection, and spore dormancy. It will provide the basis for further elucidation of the molecular mechanism involved in the regulation of pathogen infection.

GRAS transcription factors exist extensively in plant genomes and play an important role in both biological and abiotic stress in plants.To study the significant role of the response to stress in soybean cyst nematode (SCN).The susceptible and disease-resistant varieties Dongnong L-10 and Heinong 37 were inoculated with SCN 3 physiological subspecies respectively.After magenta staining was used to confirm the success of insect grafting,transcriptome sequencing was performed on plant roots.A total of 20 candidate genes related to SCN were obtained.The secondary and tertiary structures,phosphorylation sites,hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity,promoter information and gene evolution relationship of encoded proteins were analyzed and studied in bioinformatics.mRNA was extracted from different tissue parts of the plant,including roots,stems and leaves,and reverse transcription cDNA was performed for key candidate genes by RT-PCR.The results showed that the genes in this family were closely related to MYB and MYC transcription factors.The protein encoded by the gene was mainly α-helix and random coil,and the secondary structure and tertiary structure were highly consistent.Protein was a soluble protein,the phosphorylation site was mainly serine.RT-PCR showed that there were certain expression levels in different parts of plant tissues,mainly in roots.The GRAS expression level of resistant cultivars was significantly higher than that of susceptible cultivars under the same soybean cyst nematode stress.GRAS transcription factors were identified as SCN-related resistance genes,providing an important source of genes for resistance to stress response.

Understanding the variation and population structure of the foxtail millet blast provides a theoretical basis for future cultivation of resistant varieties and control of the disease.Twenty pairs of SRAP primers were used for PCR amplification of strains of P.oryzae collected from 9 regions.NTSYSpc-2.11F software was used for data analysis,UPGMA method was used for cluster analysis,and Popgene 32 software was used to calculate the genetic diversity index among populations.The results showed that 8 pairs of primers were selected with good polymorphism.A total of 1 728 discernible bands were amplified by 8 pairs of primers,1 492 of which showed polymorphism,and polymorphism rate was 86.34%.The cluster analysis of 90 strains of P.oryzae showed that the similarity coefficient was between 0.77-0.85.All strains were divided into 27 genetic lineages (L1-L27) when the genetic similarity coefficient was 0.802.Among them,L1 was the absolute dominant group,containing 29 strains of P.oryzae,which from Shandong,Hebei,Shanxi,Henan and Liaoning Province,accounting for 32.22% of the total strains.According to the calculation and analysis of Popgene 32 software,Nei's genetic diversity index (H) and Shannon's information index (I) of foxtail millet blast in 9 regions ranged from 0.141 4 to 0.288 1,and 0.196 0 to 0.441 6,respectively.Nei's genetic diversity index and Shannon's information index in the summer sowing region of Hebei Province were the highest,with the richest genetic diversity,while Hainan population had the lowest genetic diversity.Compared with different regions of the populations,the genetic relationship between the Jilin population and the Hainan population was the farthest,while the genetic relationship between the Hebei summer sowing millet region population and the Hebei spring sowing millet region population was the closest.It can be seen that the genetic diversity of P.oryzae in different regions was rich,and there was genetic differentiation among strains,but there was no significant correlation between genetic differentiation and geographical origin.

In order to further definite the genetic basis of black rot resistance in cabbage,and breed high-quality disease resistant cultivars,F₁ progenies were obtained by crossing the inbred line 4674(high resistance to race 1)as male parent,with the inbred line 4673(high susceptibility to race 1)as female parent.The F₂ population containing 152 individuals were obtained by F₁ self-crossing. The F₂ population was inoculated by spraying at seedling stage. After 12-14 days, the phenotype of F₂ population was identified according to the identification method of cabbage seedling stage.A total of 175 markers with good polymorphism and clear bands were selected from 404 pairs.Subsequently, the 175 molecular markers were used for genotyping of F₂ population and constructing a genetic linkage map. Finally, the QTL for black rot resistance of cabbage was mapped with phenotypic data and genetic map.The results showed that there were 154 molecular markers linked to nine chromosomes,including 110 pairs of InDel markers and 44 pairs of SSR markers and covering a length of 714.29 cM,and the average distance between markers was 4.64 cM.Seven QTLs were located,of which three major QTLs were qBR-7-2,qBR-7-3 and qBR-4-3,mapped on the genomic markers(CG842110-CG842482 and M29-M39)of chromosome 7,and on the genomic markers between CD838151 and BOE417 of chromosome 4,respectively.The explainable phenotypic variation of QTLs were 16.0%,9.2% and 10.0%,and their LOD values were 5.75,3.20 and 3.47,respectively.

In order to explore virus species in aphids,Aphis craccivora natural populations from Jiangsu were collected and identified,and then the fragmented mRNA from aphid total RNA was used as template to construct the sequencing library.The virus species in A.craccivora were analyzed by virome sequencing technology,and the two novel viruses were further identified.The results showed that after splicing,alignment and classification annotation of sequencing data,177 viral contigs were finally obtained,which were consistent or highly homologous with the sequences of 24 viruses,including 5 plant viruses(involving 5 families)and 19 insect viruses(involving 9 families and 6 unclassified viruses).The virus with the highest sequencing abundance among plant viruses was detected,and after Blast,these viruses with higher homology were all from Cytorhabdovirus,and they had the same conserved domain,so it was considered as a novel Cytorhabdovirus,temporarily named Aphis craccivora associated rhabdovirus(AcARV).The phylogenetic analysis based on viral L proteins revealed that AcARV and Rice stripe mosaic virus(RSMV)clustered into the closest clade,indicating that the two viruses were the closest in evolution.Most identified insect virus species were rarely reported in aphids.Capsid protein VP1 of insect virus Himetobi P virus(HiPV)was detected in A.craccivora via RT-PCR and Western Blot,which confirmed the infection of HiPV in A.craccivora,and it was the first report that HiPV was found in aphids.HiPV VP1 gene of A.craccivora isolate shared 95.5%,99.0% nucleotide identities with Japan and Jiangsu Laodelphax striatellus isolates.These results clarify A.craccivora bears a variety of plant viruses,including a new rhabdovirus AcARV.Meanwhile,insect virus species are abundant in A.craccivora,and HiPV can infect aphids.

Yuanjiang common wild rice(YP)is a germplasm material known as a living fossil in plants,which also has a large number of resistance(R)genes.Therefore,knowing the R genes in YP will help to apply different R genes to cultivated rice.Here,we identified the bacterial blight(BB)R genes in Yuanjiang common wild rice(YP),progeny of introgression lines(L214 and G252)and its susceptible parent,cultivated rice line 35(HX35).Meanwhile,the resistance of YP and its introgression lines to several Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae (Xoo)strains was determined at the late tillering stage of rice.Under indoor control conditions,YP and its introgression lines showed resistance to 9 different Xoo strains(C1,C2,C3,C4,C5,C6,C7,C9 and PXO99^A),indicating that they had broad-spectrum resistance to BB.The results of bacterial blight resistance gene detection showed that YP contained homologous genes of Xa10,while HX35,L214 and G252 contained susceptible homologous genes of xa23.The sequence alignment results showed that the sequence of the effector binding element (EBE_AvrXa10) region of the disease resistance gene Xa10 was significantly different from that of the Xa10 promoter in YP. Similarly, the recessive susceptible gene xa23 was consistent with the effector binding element (EBE_AvrXa23) region of the xa23 promoter in HX35, L214 and G252. The qRT-PCR results showed that the immune responses in YP,HX35,L214 and G252 were activated after inoculation with strain PXO99^A,but Xa10 in YP and xa23 in HX35,L214 and G252 were not induced to be expressed.It is thus hypothesized that YP,L214 and G252 may contain new genes for resistance to bacterial blight.

In order to improve blast resistance of the maintainer line Ruanhua B,to carry rice blast resistance genes Pi46 and Pi2 high-quality Indica H281 as the donor parent,Ruanhua B as recurrent parent,using marker-assisted selection(MAS)technology combined with pedigree breeding method,polymerization of two foreign genes with improved maintenance line Ruanhua B resistance,Ruanhua B was carried out on the characteristics of stable strain identification of resistance to rice blast,rice quality analysis,etc.Two BC₁F₆ populations,two BC₂F₅ populations and two BC₃F₄ populations with two homozygous target genes were obtained by backcrossing,multi-generation self-crossing and molecular marker detection.Field naturally induced identification showed that the improved lines of different backcrossing generations were resistant to rice blast.The sterility of backcross generation to sterile lines ranged from 52.7% to 100.0%.Agronomic traits and rice quality analysis showed that the improved lines basically conserved the main agronomic characters and rice quality characteristics of Ruanhua B.The results of SNP gene chip analysis showed that the background response rate of BC₁F₆ was 74.42%—77.77%,that of BC₂F₅ was 86.42%—87.75%,and that of BC₃F₄ was 92.27%—92.59%.Multiple resistance genes can be effectively polymerized by continuous backcross,self-cross and marker-assisted selection techniques to obtain a new maintainer line resistant to rice blast,and achieve rapid molecular improvement of maintainer line Ruanhua B.

Bipolaris sorokiniana is one of the important pathogens of maize root rot.The purpose of the present work was to establish a rapid detection method for B.sorokiniana based on the loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP).Firstly,a set of primers for LAMP assay was designed according to the partial sequence of Brn1 involved in the melanin biosynthetic pathway.Then,the optimal reaction temperature was screened for this primer set,the specificity and sensitivity of LAMP reaction were detected,and the LAMP detection was evaluated by using the maize root rot samples artificially inoculated with B.sorokiniana.The results showed that the primer set designed could amplify the target gene Brn1 at 61—68 ℃,with 66 ℃ was the optimal temperature.In the specific detection,the primer set could specifically detect B.sorokiniana from the genomic DNA of 10 main pathogenic fungi isolated from maize root rot plants.In the sensitivity detection,the minimum detection limit for plasmid DNA carrying Brn1 was 10 copies/μL,and amplification could be achieved in about 25 min at the minimum concentration.And,for the detection of maize root rot samples,B.sorokiniana can be detected in 1 pg/μL of maize root tissue DNA.These results indicated that the LAMP detection method for B.sorokiniana established in this study has robust specificity and high sensitivity.

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.

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) technology was used to preliminarily explore its biological function in cotton resistance to Verticillium wilt. The main results were as follows: upland cotton cytochrome P450 gene, GhP450-94C1, was obtained by cloning. The open reading frame (ORF) was 1 503 bp, encoding an acidic, hydrophilic and unstable transmembrane protein with 500 amino acids. The molecular formula was C₂₅₉₇H₄₀₂₅N₆₉₁O₇₂₅S₂₂ with a molecular weight of 57.23 ku, which was located in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and contained a P450 domain. There was 86.45% probability of signal peptide; the secondary structure prediction showed that the protein contained 24 α-helixes and 8 β-sheets. This gene responds to Verticillium wilt infection, and after inhibiting its expression, the sensitivity of plants to Verticillium wilt is enhanced. GhP450-94C1 is a positive regulator of cotton resistance to Verticillium wilt.

To explore the abundance of Gibberella zeae and the composition and diversity of fungal communities in spring wheat belt of the Northeast, bulk soil samples were collected under four crop rotation patterns, such as wheat-wheat-potato (T), wheat-wheat-silybum marianum (MT), wheat-wheat-oilseed rape (R), wheat-wheat-sugarbeet (S), and wheat for three years (W) was used as control. The Illumina MiSeq was used to sequence the ITS amplicons of the strains. The data showed that the number of fungal OTUs in W, T, MT, R and S was 389, 362, 390, 471 and 438, respectively. In the R and S rotation pattern, Chao1 were increased 11.08% and 8.59% respectively, compared with wheat continuous cropping, indicating that the rotation of silybum marianum, oilseed rape and sugarbeet with wheat increased the abundance of fungi genus. Among the five planting patterns, Shannon and Simpson in MT were the highest, revealed that the diversity of fungal communities in MT was more enriched. The similarity cluster analysis of fungal community structure showed that the four rotation patterns clustered into one branch. Under the four cropping rotation patterns, the abundance of basidiomycota increased while that of Zygomycota decreased. We also found that the relative abundance of Gibberella zeae decreased by 16.67%, 50.00% and 83.33% in R, S and MT, respectively, while the abundance of friendly genus were remarkably increased. However, the relative abundance of Gibberella zeae was increased significantly in the T pattern. Based on the above research results and the local planting structure, it is suggested to plant silybum marianum, sugarbeet and oilseed rape rotation with wheat to reduce the hazard of wheat scab.

To eradicate Verticillium wilt of cotton,identification of resistant genes and breeding of resistant cotton varieties are the best methods at present.We used MEGA 5.2 and other related software to construct phylogenetic trees of the proteins encoded by WRKY7 genes in Gossypium hirsutum and Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa.The induction and response of GhWRKY7 gene to Verticillium dahliae and its mechanism were elucidate by subcellular localization,virus-induced gene silencing,qPCR and GUS reporting system analysis.The results showed that GhWRKY7 and AtWKRY7 were highly homologous and belonged to Group Ⅱ.GhWRKY7 was located in plant nucleus,and the relative expression of GhWRKY7 in cotton leaves and root organs was significantly higher than that in stems.GhWRKY7 gene expression was significantly upregulated after 24 h of inoculation.The GhWRKY7-silenced plants showed higher susceptibility to Verticillium dahliae infection compared to the control(Expression TRV empty vector plants),suggesting that GhWRKY7 gene positively regulated cotton disease resistance.Compared to the control,the expression levels of disease-resistance related genes,including GhPR1,GhPR3,GhPR4,GhPR5,GhPDF1.2,GhPAL1 and GhCYP71B36 in GhWRKY7-silenced plants significantly decreased after inoculation,indicating that GhWRKY7 improved the disease resistance of the plants due to increased the expression levels of disease-resistance related genes.Transient expression analysis of GhWRKY7 gene by constructing GUS reporter vector in tobacco cells revealed that GhCYP71B36 gene could specifically bound to cis-element of GhCYP71B36 promoter and transcriptionally activated downstream GhCYP71B36 expression,thus improved the disease resistance of cotton.In conclusion,GhWRKY7,as a transcription factor that positively regulates Verticillium wilt resistance in cotton,is involved in the expression of downstream disease-resistance related genes such as Camalexin synthesis,thereby improving plant disease resistance.Therefore,GhWRKY7 can be used as a candidate gene for cotton resistance breeding and provide security for cotton production.

Strawberry powdery mildew caused by Sphaerotheca aphanis is one of the strawberry diseases with large incidence area and high incidence frequency in the protected cultivation areas, which usually occurs from seedling stage to fruiting stage. Therefore, the establishment of a rapid and efficient detection method of S. aphanis is quite important for the diagnosis and control of strawberry powdery mildew.A set of LAMP amplification primers including F3/B3、FIP/BIP and LF/LB were designed for the conserved sequence of ITS gene of Sphaerotheca aphanis as the target gene. Through the double judgment method of Real-time fluorescence curve and fluorescence color change, the main factors in the LAMP reaction system including the final concentrations of dNTPs, MgSO₄, BstDNA polymerase and betaine and amplification temperature were selected and optimized to increased etections ensitivity and specificity. Finally, the effects of field samples detection by optimized LAMP were evaluated.The results showed that the LAMP detection system of strawberry powdery mildew was established successfully. The optimized reaction conditions included dNTPs 1.6 mmol/L, MgSO₄ 8 mmol/L, BstDNA polymerase 320 U/moL and betaine 1.2 mmol/L and the amplification temperature was 65 ℃. Under such conditions, the minimum detection sensitivity was 3.2×10^-4 ng/μL within 60 min, and the efficiency of which was 100 times higher than the result of PCR amplification.The visual LAMP method could effectively detect the samples with no obvious symptoms infected by S. aphanis in the early stage. This method has the advantages of short detection time, direct observation with eyes, low requirements for operators and low detection cost. It has important guiding significance for the early diagnosis, monitoring, early prevention and determination of the best control time of strawberry powdery mildew.

In order to explore the effect of RNA extraction and virus detection of different parts of apple organs,apple plants infected by three viruses were used as experimental materials.Adsorption column method was used to extract total RNA from flowers(pistil,anther,filament,petals,calyx,receptacle,and flower stalk),leaves(petiole,mesophyll,and veins),fruits(fruit stalk,peel,flesh,score,episperm,and endosperm)and branches(phloem),a total of 17 tissues of four organs.The extraction effects of different sampling parts were compared,the detection effects of three viruses in different parts of organs were analyzed by regular RT-PCR,and the relative content of viruses in different parts of organs were analyzed by Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The results showed that the effects of RNA extraction from different organs of apple were different,with the highest concentration in leaves,followed by flowers and phloem of branches,and the lowest concentration in fruits.Anther,filament and petiole were best extracted from flowers and endosperm and petiole were best extracted from fruits and leaves,respectively.Three apple viruses could be detected in 16 tissues except endosperm.Quantitative analysis showed that the relative content of the three apple viruses was the highest in flowers.Furthermore,the relative contents of viruses in pistil,episperm and petiole were correspondingly higher than that in other tissue parts of flower,fruit and leaf,respectively.In addition,the content of the three viruses in different tissue parts of fruits and leaves showed similar trends,but there were certain differences in the distribution of different tissue parts of flowers.

In order to clarify the characteristics of the endophytic bacterial community of different varieties of foxtail millet,reveal the key species related to foxtail millet downy mildew resistance.DNA extraction was performed on the lowest node stem and the highest node stem tissues of 3 kinds of foxtail millet downy mildew-resistant and 3 kinds of foxtail millet downy mildew-susceptible foxtail millet plants.We used Illumina Miseq to sequence the bacterial 16S rDNA of the samples and analyzed the susceptible community composition of endophytic bacteria.The results showed that at each classification level,the endophytic bacterial species from the lowest node stem to the highest node stem showed two different trends in disease-resistant and susceptible foxtail millet samples,which were basically stable and significantly decreased.And the species composition of the endophytic bacterial community in disease-resistant foxtail millet was more abundant than that of susceptible foxtail millet.19 important endophytic bacteria phyla were obtained:(from the comparison of the endophytic bacteria ubiquitous in the lowest node stem of disease-resistant and susceptible foxtail millet samples were obtained) 2 species of endophytic bacteria phyla specific to disease-resistant foxtail millet;(from the comparison of all endophytic bacteria of disease-resistant and susceptible foxtail millet samples 16 species of endophytic bacteria phyla unique to disease-resistant foxtail millet and 2 dominant groups with relatively large abundance of disease-resistant foxtail millet were obtained).It can be seen that the endophytic bacterial communities in different foxtail millet varieties and different parts are different,and the endophytic bacterial species of disease resistance are more abundant than that of susceptible foxtail millet.Among them,the endophytic bacteria phyla unique to disease-resistant foxtail millet materials and the dominant endophytic bacteria phyla with relatively large abundance may have an effect on the prevention and treatment of foxtail millet downy mildew,which is worthy of further study.
