Membrane Localized GbTMEM214s Participate in Modulating Cotton Resistance to Verticillium Wilt.

ABSTRACT: Verticillium wilt (VW) is a soil-borne fungal disease caused by Verticillium dahliae Kleb, which leads to serious damage to cotton production annually in the world. In our previous study, a transmembrane protein 214 protein (TMEM214) gene associated with VW resistance was map-based cloned from Gossypium barbadense (G. barbadense). TMEM214 proteins are a kind of transmembrane protein, but their function in plants is rarely studied. To reveal the function of TMEM214s in VW resistance, all six TMEM214s were cloned from G. barbadense in this study. These genes were named as GbTMEM214-1_A/D, GbTMEM214-4_A/D and GbTMEM214-7_A/D, according to their location on the chromosomes. The encoded proteins are all located on the cell membrane. TMEM214 genes were all induced with Verticillium dahliae inoculation and showed significant differences between resistant and susceptible varieties, but the expression patterns of GbTMEM214s under different hormone treatments were significantly different. Virus-induced gene silencing analysis showed the resistance to VW of GbTMEM214s-silenced lines decreased significantly, which further proves the important role of GbTMEM214s in the resistance to Verticillium dahliae. Our study provides an insight into the involvement of GbTMEM214s in VW resistance, which was helpful to better understand the disease-resistance mechanism of plants.

Project description:Cotton is an important economic crop. Cotton Verticillium wilt caused by Verticillium dahliae seriously damages production. Phytosterols play roles in plant-pathogen interaction. To explore the function and related mechanism of phytosterols in the interaction between Verticillium dahliae and cotton plants, and the resistance to Verticillium wilt, in this study, we analyzed the changes of sterol composition and content in cotton roots infected by Verticillium dahliae, and identified the sterol C22-desaturase gene GhCYP710A1 from upland cotton. Through overexpressing and silencing the gene in cotton plant, and ectopically expressing the gene in Arabidopsis, we characterized the changes of sterol composition and the resistance to Verticillium wilt in transgenic plants. The infection of Verticillium dahliae resulted in the content of total sterol and each sterol category decreasing in cotton root. The ratio of stigmasterol to sitosterol (St/Si) increased, indicating that the conversion of sitosterol to stigmasterol was activated. Consistently, the expression level of GhCYP710A1 was upregulated after infection. The GhCYP710A1 has the conservative domain that is essential for sterol C22-desaturase in plant and is highly expressed in root and stem, and its subcellular location is in the endoplasmic reticulum. The ectopic expression of GhCYP710A1 gene promoted the synthesis of stigmasterol in Arabidopsis. The St/Si value is dose-dependent with the expression level of GhCYP710A1 gene. Meanwhile, the resistance to Verticillium wilt of transgenic Arabidopsis increased and the permeability of cell membrane decreased, and the content of ROS decreased after V991 (a strain of Verticillium dahliae) infection. Consistently, the resistance to Verticillium wilt significantly increased in the transgenic cotton plants overexpressing GhCYP710A1. The membrane permeability and the colonization of V991 strain in transgenic roots were decreased. On the contrary, silencing GhCYP710A1 resulted in the resistance to Verticillium wilt being decreased. The membrane permeability and the colonization of V991 were increased in cotton roots. The expression change of GhCYP710A1 and the content alteration of stigmasterol lead to changes in JA signal transduction, hypersensitivity and ROS metabolism in cotton, which might be a cause for regulating the Verticillium wilt resistance of cotton plant. These results indicated that GhCYP710A1 might be a target gene in cotton resistance breeding.
