Fine Mapping and Characterization of an Aphid-Resistance Gene in the Soybean Landrace Fangzheng Moshidou.

ABSTRACT: The soybean aphid poses a severe threat to soybean quality and yield by sucking phloem sap and transmitting plant viruses. An early-maturing and highly resistant soybean landrace, Fangzheng Moshidou, with markedly reduced aphid colonization has been identified by screening of aphid-resistant soybean accessions. In a population derived from the cross of Fangzheng Moshidou with the susceptible cultivar Beifeng 9, resistance was conferred by a single dominant gene. Three linked markers, Satt114, Satt334, and Sct_033, on chromosome 13 were identified by bulked-segregant analysis. Additional simple-sequence repeat and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were developed for gene mapping. The resistance of Fangzheng Moshidou was fine-mapped to the interval between the SNP markers YCSNP20 and YCSNP80, corresponding to 152.8 kb in the Williams 82 assembly 2 genome. This region was near the reported loci Rag2 and Rag5 but did not overlap the interval containing them. A unique haplotype is described for Fangzheng Moshidou that distinguishes it from soybean accessions PI 587972, PI 594879, and PI 567301B in the interval containing Rag2 and Rag5. These results indicate that Fangzheng Moshidou harbors a novel gene at a tightly linked resistance locus, designated as RagFMD. Fourteen candidate genes were annotated in the fine-mapping region, including seven NBS-LRR genes, which are usually considered resistance genes in plant defense. Most of these candidate genes showed variations distinguishing the resistant and susceptible parents and some genes also showed differences in expression between the two parental lines and at several times after aphid infestation. Isolation of RagFMD would advance the study of molecular mechanisms of soybean aphid resistance and contribute to precise selection of resistant soybeans.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is the most devastating disease in rice production. Compared with seedling blast, panicle blast is considered to be more destructive, which can occur without being preceded by severe seedling blast. However, panicle blast resistance research is rarely reported. RESULTS:Bodao, a japonica landrace from Taihu Lake region, showed a high level of panicle blast resistance. In this study, a mapping population of 212 recombination inbreeding lines (RILs) was developed from a cross of Bodao and the susceptible cultivar Suyunuo, and the RILs were evaluated for panicle blast resistance in three trials. Two quantitative trait loci (QTLs) qPb11-1 and qPb6-1 for panicle-blast resistance were identified, including a major QTL qPb11-1 (Pb-bd1) on chromosome 11 of Bodao explaining from 55.31% to 71.68% of the phenotype variance, and a minor QTL qPb6-1 on chromosome 6 of Suyunuo explaining from 3.54% to 6.98% of the phenotype variance. With the various segregation populations, Pb-bd1 was fine mapped in a 40.6 Kb region flanked by markers BS83 and BS98, and six candidate genes were identified within this region, including one gene encoding NAC domain-containing protein, one gene encoding unknown expression proteins, two genes encoding nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat (NBS-LRR) type disease resistance proteins, and two genes encoding von Willebrand factor type A (VWA) domain containing proteins. For application in rice breeding, three introgression lines of Pb-bd1with significantly enhanced panicle blast resistance were developed by using molecular assisted method (MAS) from the commercial variety Nanjing46 (NJ46). CONCLUSION:Two QTLs, qPb11-1(Pb-bd1) and qPb6-1 conferring panicle blast resistance, were identified from japonica landrace Bodao and Suyunuo.qPb11-1(Pb-bd1) was fine mapped in a 40.6 Kb region flanked by marker BS83 and BS98. Three introgression lines of Pb-bd1with significantly enhanced panicle blast resistance were developed by MAS method from the commercial variety NJ46. It indicated that Pb-bd1 would be useful gene source in panicle blast resistance breeding.

Project description:Purpose: Soybean aphid (Aphis glycines Matsumura; SBA) is major pest of soybean (Glycine max) in the United States of America. One previous study on soybean, soybean-aphid interactions showed that avirulent (biotype 1) and virulent (biotype 2) biotypes can co-occur and potentially interact on resistant and susceptible soybean resulting induced susceptibility. The main objective of this research was to employ RNA sequencing technique to characterize the induced susceptibility effect in which initial feeding by virulent aphids can increase the suitability of avirulent aphids in both susceptible and resistant cultivars. Methods: The data in this submission come from the green house experiment using two genotypes of soybean: susceptible soybean cultivar was LD12-15838R and the resistant cultivar was LD12-15813Ra (with Rag1 gene) and two aphid populations: biotype 1 (avirulent) and biotype 2 (virulent biotype 2). RNA was extracted from the leave samples from resistant and susceptible cultivars treated with no aphids, biotype 2: biotype1 collected at day 1 and no aphids, biotype 2: biotype1 and no aphids: biotype1 at day 11 using PureLink RNA mini kit (Invitrogen, USA). RNA samples were treated with TURBOTM DNase (Invitrogen, USA) to remove any DNA contamination following the manufacturer’s instructions. Assessment of the isolated RNA integrity was performed by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, and RNA concentration was measured by Nanodrop 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). Three replicates from these treatments in resistant and susceptible cultivars were pooled in equimolar concentration. RNAseq library construction was prepared using Illumina’s TruSeq Stranded mRNA Kit v1 (San Diego, CA). The libraries were quantified by QuBit dsDNA HS Assay (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) and pooled in equimolar concentrations. The libraries were sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq 500 using a NextSeq 500/550 High Output Reagent Cartridge v2 (San Diego, CA) at 75 cycles. Results: A total of 10 RNA libraries were prepared and sequenced with the sequencing depth ranging from 24,779,816 to 29,72,4913. Total reads of 266,535,654 were subjected to FastQC analysis to determine the data quality using various quality metrics such as mean quality scores, per sequence quality scores, per sequence GC content, and sequence length distribution. The phred quality scores per base for all the samples were higher than 30. The GC content ranged from 45 to 46% and followed the normal distribution. After trimming, more than 99% of the reads were retained as the clean and good quality reads. Upon mapping these reads, we obtained high mapping rate ranging from 90.4% to 92.9%. Among the mapped reads, 85.8% to 91.9% reads were uniquely mapped. Conclusions: The objective of this study is to characterize the mechanism of induced susceptibility in soybean via transcriptional response study of soybean in presence of biotype 1 and biotype 2 soybean aphids using RNA-Seq. The data resulted from this study might provide insights into the interactions between soybean and soybean aphids and identify genes, their regulation and enriched pathways that may be associated with resistance or susceptibility to A. glycines.
