Abstract
Phytophthora root and stem rot caused by Phytophthora sojae (P. sojae) is one of the most destructive diseases to affect soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr) production. GmSRC2 that encodes a C2 domain-containing protein can respond to various stresses, however, the molecular mechanism of GmSRC2 in resistance of soybean to P. sojae is yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, GmSRC2 was found to be significantly up-regulated under P. sojae treatment; GmSRC2-overexpression (OE) transgenic lines and GmSRC2-silencing transient plants were generated via Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation and virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) system, respectively. Infected leaves and cotyledons of OE-GmSRC2–1 and OE-GmSRC2–2 lines showed significant decreases in the disease symptoms and P. sojae biomass than those of wild type (WT); the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) confirmed the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in overexpressed transgenic lines. Whereas, silencing of GmSRC2 severely increased the disease symptoms and the biomass of P. sojae. Further, we confirmed that GmSRC2 interacted with the effector PsAvh23 of P. sojae, and the C2 domain was crucial for the interaction. Overexpression of GmSRC2 upregulated the ADA2/GCN5 module upon P. sojae. The aforementioned results demonstrated that GmSRC2 played vital roles in regulating soybean resistance to oomycetes.
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.
