Responses of Soybean Genes in the Substituted Segments of Segment Substitution Lines Following a Xanthomonas Infection.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial blight, which is one of the most common soybean diseases, is responsible for considerable yield losses. In this study, a novel Xanthomonas vasicola strain was isolated from the leaves of soybean plants infected with bacterial blight under field conditions. Sequencing the X. vasicola genome revealed type-III effector-coding genes. Moreover, the hrpG deletion mutant was constructed. To identify the soybean genes responsive to HrpG, two chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) carrying the wild soybean genome, but with opposite phenotypes following Xanthomonas inoculations, were used to analyze gene expression networks based on RNA sequencing at three time points after inoculations with wild-type Xanthomonas or the hrpG deletion mutant.
