VvXYLP02 confers gray mold resistance by amplifying jasmonate signaling pathway in Vitis vinifera.

ABSTRACT: Xylogen-like proteins (XYLPs) are essential for plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, little is known about the XYLP gene family in grape and its protective effects against gray mold a destructive disease caused by Botrytis cinerea. We identified and characterized six common XYLPs in the Vitis vinifera genome (VvXYLPs). VvXYLP expression pattern analyses with B. cinerea infection showed that VvXYLP02 was significantly up-regulated in the resistant genotype but down-regulated or only slightly up-regulated in the susceptible genotype. VvXYLP02 overexpression in Arabidopsis thaliana significantly increased resistance to B. cinerea, indicating that the candidate gene has functional importance. Furthermore, JA treatment significantly up-regulated VvXYLP02 expression in V. vinifera. JA-responsive genes were also up-regulated in VvXYLP02 overexpression lines in A. thaliana under B. cinerea inoculation. These findings suggest that VvXYLP02, which is induced by JA upon the pathogen infection, enhances JA dependent response to enforce plant resistance against gray mold disease.

Project description:Gray mold caused by Botrytis elliptica is one of the most determinative factors of lily growth and has become a major threat to lily productivity. However, the nature of the lily B. elliptica interaction remains largely unknown. Here, comparative transcriptomic and metabolomic were used to investigate the defense responses of resistant ('Sorbonne') and susceptible ('Tresor') lily cultivars to B. elliptica infection at 24 hpi. In total, 1326 metabolites were identified in 'Sorbonne' and 'Tresor' after infection, including a large number of phenylpropanoids. Specifically, the accumulation of four phenylpropanes, including eriodictyol, hesperetin, ferulic acid, and sinapyl alcohol, was significantly upregulated in the B. elliptica-infected 'Sorbonne' compared with the infected 'Tresor', and these phenylpropanes could significantly inhibit B. elliptica growth. At the transcript level, higher expression levels of F3'M, COMT, and CAD led to a higher content of resistance-related phenylpropanes (eriodictyol, ferulic acid, and sinapyl alcohol) in 'Sorbonne' following B. elliptica infection. It can be assumed that these phenylpropanes cause the resistance difference between 'Sorbonne' and 'Tresor', and could be the potential marker metabolites for gray mold resistance in the lily. Further transcriptional regulatory network analysis suggested that members of the AP2/ERF, WRKY, Trihelix, and MADS-M-type families positively regulated the biosynthesis of resistance-related phenylpropanes. Additionally, the expression patterns of genes involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis were confirmed using qRT-PCR. Therefore, we speculate that the degree of gray mold resistance in the lily is closely related to the contents of phenylpropanes and the transcript levels of the genes in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway. Our results not only improve our understanding of the lily's resistance mechanisms against B. elliptica, but also facilitate the genetic improvement of lily cultivars with gray mold resistance.
