【目的】欧洲葡萄作为世界葡萄主栽品种,具有产量高、品质佳的优点,但对病害抵抗能力差。白粉病是严重危害葡萄栽培的一种真菌性病害,中国野生葡萄资源丰富,可为抗病育种提供充足种质资源。论文旨在筛选调控抗白粉病的葡萄转录因子基因,探究转录因子基因调控抗白粉病的作用机理,为选育葡萄抗病品种提供优质的基因资源。【方法】从中国野生毛葡萄‘商-24’中克隆得到转录因子基因,使用DANMAN和MEGA-X软件对序列进行分析。利用PEG介导转化拟南芥原生质体进行亚细胞定位分析发挥转录调控作用的位置,利用酵母双杂交和双分子荧光互补试验证明VqWRKY6能够和转录因子VqbZIP1互作形成转录复合体。以感病葡萄‘赤霞珠’叶片为试材,通过农杆菌介导法瞬时转化到‘赤霞珠’葡萄叶片,叶片进行白粉菌()接种后,观察发病症状,用台盼蓝染色在显微镜下观察菌丝发育进程,使用DAB染色观察活性氧积累,比较共同过表达和的葡萄叶片、单独过表达的葡萄叶片、单独过表达的葡萄叶片和对照组叶片的差异。使用实时荧光定量PCR技术对抗病基因在白粉菌诱导下的表达水平进行分析。【结果】定位于葡萄2号染色体,编码342个氨基酸,属于WRKY家族的group Ⅲ亚家族。亚细胞定位和酵母转录激活试验证明,VqWRKY6在细胞核内发挥转录调控功能且在酵母中有转录激活活性。‘赤霞珠’叶片共同过表达和后,叶片表面白粉菌菌丝扩繁速率显著慢于单独过表达和单独过表达的叶片,共同过表达和的叶片组织中活性氧含量显著高于单独过表达和单独过表达的叶片;此外,VqWRKY6和VqbZIP1的协同调控能够激活茉莉酸(JA)途径的,基因表达量显著上调。【结论】VqWRKY6和VqbZIP1协同作用可能通过激活JA抗病途径,促进活性氧产生,增强抗病基因表达,抑制白粉菌的生长,从而提高葡萄对白粉病的抗性。因此,中国野生毛葡萄‘商-24’是重要的抗病种质资源,而与可作为重要的抗病基因资源。

0 引言
【研究意义】葡萄是世界上栽培历史悠久且重要的果树之一。根据联合国粮食及农业组织(FAO)的统计数据,2020年我国葡萄栽培面积和产量分别为76.75万公顷和1 484.31万吨,分别占世界葡萄栽培总面积和总产量的11%和19%。目前世界范围内广泛栽培的葡萄品种为欧洲葡萄,其具有品质优良、产量高的特点,但抵抗真菌病害的能力较差[1]。白粉病是葡萄栽培生产上危害较大的一种典型真菌病害,主要危害绿色幼嫩组织,受害组织表面生成白色粉状物,影响葡萄果实的正常发育并造成减产,严重损害葡萄的品质和产量[2]。在葡萄的栽培过程中普遍使用化学防治作为病害防治的手段。然而,喷施农药不仅增加葡萄栽培的成本,也会导致农药及其副产品的积累,对环境和人畜造成一定影响[3-5]。因此,选育抗病葡萄品种是控制病害产生的一种有效措施。中国是世界葡萄起源中心之一,野生抗病葡萄资源丰富[6]。这些野生资源蕴含丰富的抗病调控基因,为揭示葡萄与白粉菌()的互作机理提供了丰富的材料[7]。明确中国野生葡萄中存在的抗病调控基因,阐明其调控抗病性的作用机理,对抗病葡萄选育具有重要意义。【前人研究进展】WRKY转录因子在植物抗病信号途径中发挥重要的转录调控作用[8-11]。目前,在模式植物拟南芥中鉴定到WRKY家族成员75个[12],小麦中鉴定到270个[13],小豆和绿豆中分别有84个和85个[14],水稻中有83个[15],葡萄中有59个[16]。在拟南芥中异源表达毛葡萄‘丹凤-2’的可激活水杨酸(salicylic acid,SA)途径,增强植物的抗病性,VqWRKY53与MYB转录因子MYB14和MYB15的协同作用能够调控芪合酶基因的表达[17-18]。在转和葡萄植株中,‘无核白’对于白粉病抗性显著提高[19]。拟南芥中、和能够增强对丁香假单胞菌()抗性[20],增强对灰霉病抗性[21]。在大麦中,已发现有12个能够响应大麦白粉菌(f. sp.)的诱导,其中10个显著上调表达,2个明显下调[22]。水稻中过表达会增强对稻瘟病的抗性[17]。菊花中过表达能够增强植株对白色锈病的抗性[23]。此外,在葡萄中过表达能够增强对白粉病的抗性[24]。植物受到病原微生物的诱导会产生病程相关蛋白(pathogenesis-related protein,PR),植物抗病性的标志之一即PR蛋白的产生[25-26]。在易感葡萄叶片中过表达可以增强对霜霉病的抗性[27]。拟南芥中过表达,可以正向调控对白粉病的防御反应[28]。在葡萄中,转录因子WRKY40和WRKY75与启动子结合参与葡萄抵抗霜霉病入侵的抗病进程[29]。【本研究切入点】本团队前期通过人工接种葡萄白粉菌后的诱导表达分析发现,中国野生毛葡萄()中能够响应白粉菌的诱导上调表达,本研究以不同中国野生葡萄为供试材料,在人工接种白粉菌诱导条件下研究转录因子VqWRKY6和VqbZIP1互作调控葡萄抗白粉病的机理。【拟解决的关键问题】研究中国野生葡萄中抗病相关转录因子基因调控葡萄抗病性的作用,为利用中国野生葡萄资源进行葡萄抗病育种提供理论依据。

2 结果
2.1 白粉菌诱导下不同葡萄材料WRKY6的表达
接种白粉菌后,中国野生毛葡萄‘商-24’6响应白粉菌诱导表达变化最为明显,且在12 h达到峰值,表达量是接菌前的17.7倍,远高于其他3个材料,推测‘商-24’中在抗病途径中发挥转录调控作用。在‘白河-35-1’中,接菌24 h开始响应白粉菌诱导,后续响应不明显。‘赤霞珠’中在12—72 h有微弱响应。在‘无核白’叶片中接种后12—120 h持续响应白粉菌诱导,72 h表达量达到峰值,为对照组的6.0倍(图1)。
2.2 中国野生毛葡萄‘商-24’中VqWRKY6的克隆与序列分析
利用同源克隆技术从‘商-24’中分离获得编码区序列长度为1 029 bp,编码342个氨基酸(图2-a)。在葡萄基因组网站比对分析发现,定位于葡萄第2号染色体,具体位置为1 228 115—1 229 951位点(图2-b)。
与欧洲葡萄中对应的VvWRKY6进行氨基酸序列对比,发现有3处氨基酸位点发生突变(图2-c),分别为蛋白序列第55处的异亮氨酸突变为蛋氨酸,第213处的组氨酸突变为天冬酰胺,第300处的组氨酸突变为酪氨酸。

将克隆得到的氨基酸序列和拟南芥及欧洲葡萄中WRKY基因家族成员进行聚类分析,结果表明中国野生毛葡萄中的VqWRKY6属于WRKY家族的group Ⅲ亚家族(图2-d)。
2.3 中国野生毛葡萄VqWRKY6转录因子转录自激活及亚细胞定位分析
将的编码序列构建到酵母表达载体pGBKT7(BD),获得pGBKT7-VqWRKY6融合载体。将融合载体转化至酵母菌株Y2H在SD/-Trp+AbA+ X--Gal培养基上验证。结果发现,在SD/-Trp+AbA+ X--Gal培养基上菌斑全部变蓝(图3-a)。因此,VqWRKY6具有自激活活性。
对VqWRKY6保留保守结构域从N端短截124个氨基酸(图3-b),构建短截后的VqWRKY6-BD载体,进行转录自激活分析,发现自激活活性缺失,可用于后续蛋白互作验证。
将克隆得到的VqWRKY6的编码序列去除终止密码子,构建到pCAMBIA2300-35S-GFP植物表达载体,得到融合载体pCAMBIA2300-VqWRKY6。利用实验室前期构建的35S-AtHY5-mCherry融合载体,与拟南芥中核定位蛋白AtHY5共定位分析。结果表明,VqWRKY6在细胞核发挥转录调控功能(图3-c)。
2.4 酵母双杂交筛选验证中国野生毛葡萄转录因子互作
为了探究转录因子间是否可以相互作用,将构建的pGBKT7-VqWRKY6、pGBKT7-VqMYB153、pGBKT7-VqERF110分别与pGADT7-VqbZIP1、pGADT7- VqWRKY6、pGADT7-VqWRKY53、pGADT7-VqMYB14进行互作验证。将VqMYB153-BD/VqWRKY6-AD、VqMYB153-BD/VqWRKY53-AD、VqMYB153-BD/ VqbZIP1-AD、VqERF110-BD/VqWRKY6-AD、VqERF110- BD/VqMYB14-AD、VqWRKY6-BD/VqMYB14-AD、VqWRKY6-BD/VqMYB15-AD、VqWRKY6-BD/VqbZIP1- AD组合涂在酵母板子SD/-Leu/-Trp上培养,之后取共转化基因的单克隆,以及阴性和阳性对照在无菌蒸馏水中稀释后取2.5 μl滴于SD/-Ade/-His/-Leu/-Trp+ AbA+X--gal培养基上生长,观察发现VqWRKY6- BD/VqbZIP1-AD共转菌斑生长并且显蓝(图4)。

2.5 中国野生毛葡萄VqWRKY6与VqbZIP1互作
以欧亚种葡萄‘黑比诺’品系‘PN40024’基因组信息为参考。克隆出长度为900 bp的,编码299个氨基酸(图5-a)。将转录因子VqbZIP1连接AD载体得到pGADT7-VqbZIP1载体,与pGBKT7- VqWRKY6共转化酵母细胞进行酵母双杂交验证。发现融合载体pGADT7-VqWRKY6与pGBKT7-VqbZIP1共转化的酵母菌株在四缺培养基SD/-Ade/-His/-Leu/ -Trp+X--Gal+AbA上能够正常生长,形成菌斑且变蓝(图5-b)。说明在酵母系统中,VqWRKY6与VqbZIP1能够发生相互作用形成转录调控复合体,推测这种互作现象可能存在于植物体中。为了进一步在植物细胞中验证这种相互作用,将VqWRKY6与VqbZIP1的CDS全长序列去除终止密码子,并构建到pSPYNE和pSPYCE上得到融合载体,转入拟南芥原生质体进行双分子荧光互补验证。结果表明,在拟南芥原生质体的细胞核内检测到YFP的黄色荧光信号(图5-c)。

2.6 转录因子VqWRKY6和VqbZIP1瞬时表达与增强葡萄对白粉菌的抗性
2.6.1 白粉菌接种观察及抗病性分析 在单独过表达的叶片,以及共同过表达和的叶片,相对于单独过表达以及对照叶片白粉病症不明显,而在单独过表达以及对照叶片上白粉菌菌丝体的生长则较为明显,可以观察到肉眼可见的白粉菌菌落(图6-a)。根据观察结果推测,单独过表达、共同过表达与可以增强葡萄对白粉病的抗性。
为了进一步探究VqWRKY6提高葡萄对白粉病抗性的机理,对瞬时转化后的‘赤霞珠’叶片接种白粉菌,利用台盼蓝进行葡萄组织化学染色,观察0—5 d内白粉菌孢子萌发和菌丝发育进程。显微观察结果表明,共同过表达和的叶片组织菌丝生长发育进程较单独过表达的叶片迟缓,而单独过表达的叶片上菌丝生长发育状况与对照组相比差异较小。在叶片接种白粉菌12 h后,单独过表达与共同过表达和的叶片表面并未观察到萌发的孢子,表明白粉菌孢子已附着于叶片表面;对照组和单独过表达的叶片表面白粉菌孢子开始萌发伸出菌丝。在24—120 h观察到单独过表达和共同过表达和的叶片上白粉菌孢子陆续萌发,但菌丝生长速率较对照组和单独过表达的叶片显著迟缓,且次生菌丝体较为稀疏(图6-b)。
上述结果表明,在葡萄中过表达能够有效减缓白粉菌孢子的萌发,减慢菌丝的生长,在葡萄中表达和可减缓白粉菌的菌丝发育进程,而VqWRKY6和VqbZIP1的协同互作能够进一步增强葡萄对白粉病的抗性。
在病原菌入侵过程中,活性氧作为抗病相关信号传导途径的重要组分发挥作用[35]。为了探究转录因子VqWRKY6及其互作蛋白VqbZIP1是否参与调控病原诱导下的活性氧产生和积累,对瞬时转化后的‘赤霞珠’叶片进行白粉菌接种,取接种后5 d的叶片进行DAB染色,结果发现,在过表达叶片组织接种区域均有不同程度的红褐色加深状况,单独过表达的叶片红褐色积累程度高于单独过表达的叶片,说明单独过表达的叶片活性氧含量高于单独过表达的叶片。其中在共同过表达和的叶片上红褐色程度最深,说明共同过表达和的叶片组织的活性氧含量高于单独过表达和单独过表达叶片(图6-c)。
2.6.2 过表达葡萄叶片在白粉菌诱导下抗病基因的表达情况 为了进一步探究VqWRKY6参与调控葡萄抗病性的分子机理,以及VqWRKY6与葡萄抗病基因在调控抗病进程中的关系,通过qRT-PCR分析瞬时转化后的‘赤霞珠’叶片在接种白粉菌前后病程相关蛋白基因表达量的动态变化。结果表明,与对照组相比,在共同过表达和的葡萄叶片中,接种白粉菌72 h后的表达水平显著上调,是同时期对照组的30.9倍,而单独过表达和单独过表达的葡萄叶片中仅在24—48 h上调表达,而在接种后72 h表达水平恢复至常态;接种白粉菌96 h后表达量明显上调,其中共同过表达和叶片中的表达量在96 h达到峰值,是同时期对照组的10.4倍,而单独过表达和单独过表达的葡萄叶片表达水平在96 h和120 h有微弱响应(图7)。

3 讨论
3.1 WRKY转录因子增强抗病性
在高等植物中WRKY转录因子是最大的转录因子家族之一,是植物先天免疫系统和后天系统获得性抗性中的核心组件[10,36]。在众多共调控拟南芥防御基因的启动子中存在WRKY转录因子基因的结合位点(C/TTGACC/T,W box),这为证明锌指型WRKY转录因子在调节防御中有广泛而关键的作用提供了间接证据[37]。在过表达苹果‘GL-3’株系中调控抗病性显著增强[38];在苹果愈伤组织过表达,提高了苹果愈伤组织对轮纹病的抗性[39];拟南芥中异源表达,也显著提高其对轮纹病的抗性[40]。PANDEY等[41]研究发现白粉病入侵时,拟南芥AtWRKY18和AtWRKY40的突变体中与植物抗毒素合成相关的关键基因和的表达量有显著升高趋势;LI等[42]研究表明,中国野生华东葡萄‘白河-35-1’中和响应SA途径和白粉菌诱导表达,在拟南芥中异源表达和转基因株系对白粉病的抗性显著提高;乔恒波[43]研究表明,在拟南芥中异源表达基因可提高对白粉病及DC3000的抗性。

葡萄基因组共有59个WRKY转录因子成员,依据序列特征和系谱进化分Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ 3个组。Ⅲ组基因包含C2HC锌指结构(C-X7-X23-H-X1-C),有6个属于此组,分别为、、、、、[16]。将同源克隆获得的中国野生毛葡萄VqWRKY6蛋白序列与拟南芥和欧洲葡萄的WRKY家族成员进行聚类分析,发现VqWRKY6属于group Ⅲ族。group Ⅲ族的WRKY转录因子在植物抗逆和抗病上起重要作用。在棉花中WRKY group Ⅲ族基因广泛参与应对非生物胁迫[44];在潘那利番茄中,WRKY41会迅速响应应对不利环境[45];在拟南芥植株中异源表达WRKY group Ⅲ成员提高了对白粉病的抗性[46]。

中国野生毛葡萄‘商-24’对白粉病具有显著抗性[6]。对抗病和感病葡萄进行人工接种白粉菌,观察的表达模式发现,‘商-24’中迅速响应白粉菌诱导表达,在12 h达到峰值,且后续也较对照组持续上调表达。在欧洲葡萄中,响应白粉菌诱导表达弱于‘商-24’。且通过观察接种白粉菌后葡萄叶片发病表征,发现过表达葡萄叶片白粉菌菌丝生长状况不明显。推测VqWRKY6与葡萄白粉病抗性调控相关。
3.2 VqWRKY6与VqbZIP1互作促进活性氧积累
活性氧作为信号分子参与应对植物抵抗病原物入侵,对病原体攻击部位防御最快的反应是氧化爆发,主要是超氧化物和过氧化氢[47]。积累的过氧化氢可能通过参与细胞壁强化,诱导防御基因表达等增强抗病性[35,48]。DAB染色结果发现在接种白粉菌位置,葡萄叶片显色加深,共同过表达和的叶片红褐色程度最深,表明其活性氧积累水平最高,推测和互作可以刺激葡萄组织活性氧的产生从而增强对白粉病抗性。
3.3 VqWRKY6与VqbZIP1互作促进抗病基因表达
WRKY转录因子可参与多种植物对不同胁迫响应的激素信号传导途径[49]。拟南芥中转录因子WRKY70作为WRKY group Ⅲ亚族成员表达受SA诱导,过表达的拟南芥对白粉病抗性增强[50-51]。VqWRKY52通过作用于SA介导信号传导途径增强抗病性[46]。葡萄中过表达可以上调JA途径抗病相关基因表达,提高转基因株系的抗病性[52]。受SA特异性诱导,JA途径诱导、[53-54]。定量结果发现,WRKY6不仅能够增强SA途径的表达,也能增强JA途径和的表达,说明WRKY6能够通过参与SA和JA两种抗病途径,调控增强葡萄的抗病性。本研究中共同过表达和葡萄叶片中和的表达量显著上升,推测VqWRKY6与VqbZIP1互作可能促进JA途径表达,从而提高对白粉病抗性。

【Objective】As the world’smain cultured varieties,has the advantages of high yield and good quality, however, the resistance of.to disease is poor. Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that seriously endangers viticulture. The resources of Chinese wild grape are abundant, which can provide sufficient germplasm resources for disease-resistant breeding. This objective of this study is to screen grape transcription factor genes that regulate the resistance to powdery mildew, and to explore the mechanism of these genes regulating the resistance to powdery mildew, which can provide high-quality genetic resources for selection and breeding of grape disease-resistant varieties.【Method】was cloned from Chinese wild‘Shang-24’. The sequences were analyzed using DANMAN and MEGA-X software and subcellular localization analysis was adopted usingprotoplasts by PEG-mediated transformation, which was performed for the location of transcriptional regulation. The yeast two-hybrid and bimolecular fluorescence complementation were adopted to prove that VqWRKY6 can interact with the transcription factor VqbZIP1 to form a transcriptional complex. Taking the leaves of the disease-susceptible grape ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ as the material, the transient transformation mediated bywas performed in the leaves of ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’. Afterinoculation on the leaves, the pathogenesis symptoms were observed, hyphal development progression was microscopically visualized with trypan blue staining, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation was visualized using DAB staining. Thedifferences between grape leaves co-overexpressing ofand, overexpressing ofalone, overexpressing ofalone, and the control group were compared. The qRT-PCR was used to analyze the expression level of anti-disease genes underinduction.【Result】is located on grape chromosome 2, encodes 342 amino acids and belongs to the group Ⅲ subfamily of the WRKY family. VqWRKY6 exerts a transcriptional regulatory function in nucleus. The propagation rate ofon the surface of ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ leaves after co-overexpressing ofandwas significantly slower than that of leaves overexpressing ofaloneand overexpressing ofalone, and the ROS content in the leaf tissues co-overexpressing ofandwas significantly higher than that of leaves overexpressingofalone and overexpressingofalone. In addition, the synergistic regulation of VqWRKY6 and VqbZIP1 could activateandof the jasmonate (JA) pathway, and the gene expression levels were significantly upregulated.【Conclusion】The synergistic effect of VqWRKY6 and VqbZIP1 may improve the disease resistance of grape to powdery mildew by activating the JA pathway, promoting the production of ROS, enhancing the expression of disease-resistant genes to inhibit the growth of. VqWRKY6 and VqbZIP1 are important disease-resistant genetic resources, and ‘Shang-24’ is an important disease-resistant germplasm resource.
