Construction of full-length infectious clones of turnip mosaic virus isolates infecting Perilla frutescens and genetic analysis of recently emerged strains in Korea.

ABSTRACT: Perilla is an annual herb with a unique aroma and taste that has been cultivated in Korea for hundreds of years. It has been widely cultivated in many Asian and European countries as a food and medicinal crop. Recently, several viruses have been reported to cause diseases in perilla in Korea, including turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), which is known as a brassica pathogen due to its significant damage to brassica crops. In this study, we determined the complete genome sequences of two new TuMV isolates originating from perilla in Korea. Full-length infectious cDNA clones of these two isolates were constructed, and their infectivity was tested by agroinfiltration of Nicotiana benthamiana and sap inoculation of Chinese cabbage and radish plants. In addition, we analyzed the phylogenetic relationship of six new Korean TuMV isolates to members of the four major groups. We also used RDP4 software to conduct recombination analysis of recent isolates from Korea, which provided new insight into the evolutionary relationships of Korean isolates of TuMV.

Project description:BackgroundPolyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid (LA) and α-linolenic acid (ALA) are abundant in vegetable oils and are important for human health. In the body, LA and ALA are respectively converted to the omega-6 fatty acid γ-linolenic acid (GLA) and the omega-3 fatty acid stearidonic acid (SDA) by Δ6 desaturase (D6DES). Currently, dietary GLA and SDA are mainly obtained from marine organisms, but given their benefits to human health, many studies have aimed to enhance their accumulation in transgenic crops. Perilla frutescens (perilla) accumulates more ALA in its seed oil compared to other oilseed crops, making it a good candidate for the production of fatty acids via the fatty acid desaturase D6DES.ResultsIn this study, we cloned the D6DES gene from Phytophthora citrophthora and confirmed its function in budding yeast. We then transformed the functional D6DES gene under the control of the seed-specific vicilin promoter into the perilla cultivar Yeobsil. The resulting transgenic perilla seeds accumulated significant levels of GLA and SDA, as well as putative C18:2Δ6,9 at minor levels. Developing seeds and leaves also accumulated GLA and SDA, although PcD6DES expression and GLA and SDA levels were much lower in leaves compared to developing seeds. GLA and SDA accumulated in both polar lipids and neutral lipids in mature perilla seeds expressing PcD6DES, especially in neutral lipids. Although the seed weight in PcD6DES perilla was 87-96% that of wild type, the total oil content per seed weight was similar between lines. The PcD6DES perilla plants contained very high content (over 45%) of both GLA and SDA in seed oil.ConclusionsThus, PcD6DES perilla plants may represent a feasible alternative to traditional marine sources for the production of omega-3 oil capsules and to evening primrose seed oil for GLA as health food. In addition, these plants can be used to create other transgenic lines harboring additional genes to produce other desirable fish-oil like oils.
