A novel cotton miR7814 targeting GhCNL2 regulates plant defense against Verticillium dahliae infection
Many miRNAs can post-transcriptionally regulate expression levels of a type of resistant (R) genes encoding NBS-LRR proteins. However, the underlying resistant mechanisms of various miRNAs-targeted R gene pairs remain explored. Here, we addressed a novel ghr-miR7814 targeting GhCNL2 function in plant resistance against Verticillium dahliae infection. Based on GUS reporter and 5’-RLM RACE analyses, ghr-miR7814 was revealed to directedly target GhCNL2 mRNA for cleavage through post-transcriptional process. Through virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) or overexpressing assays, we found that ghr-miR7814 knockdown significantly increased plant resistance to pathogen infection, whereas ghr-miR7814 overexpression and GhCNL2 knockdown significantly reduced plant resistance, which was accompanied by expression changes of defense-related genes including GhPR1, GhPR3, GhPR5 and GhPDF1.2. Results of DAB staining revealed that H2O2 contents in GhCNL2 knockdown plants were significantly higher than those in the control. The expression levels of SA biosynthesis-related genes including GhICS1, GhEDS1 and GhPAD4 showed significant differences between GhCNL2 knockdown and the control plants under V. dahliae infection as well as SA accumulation. Taken together, these results demonstrated that the novel ghr-miR7814 targeting GhCNL2 is able to regulate plant resistance to V. dahliae infection possibly via induction of ROS and SA biosynthesis.
期刊介绍:
Plant Science will publish in the minimum of time, research manuscripts as well as commissioned reviews and commentaries recommended by its referees in all areas of experimental plant biology with emphasis in the broad areas of genomics, proteomics, biochemistry (including enzymology), physiology, cell biology, development, genetics, functional plant breeding, systems biology and the interaction of plants with the environment.
Manuscripts for full consideration should be written concisely and essentially as a final report. The main criterion for publication is that the manuscript must contain original and significant insights that lead to a better understanding of fundamental plant biology. Papers centering on plant cell culture should be of interest to a wide audience and methods employed result in a substantial improvement over existing established techniques and approaches. Methods papers are welcome only when the technique(s) described is novel or provides a major advancement of established protocols.
