火龙果溃疡病菌新暗色柱节孢自噬相关基因鉴定及其在非生物胁迫下的表达分析

Identification of autophagy-related genes in Neoscytalidium dimidiatum causing pitaya canker and their expression analysis under abiotic stress

  • 摘要: 【目的】 鉴定火龙果溃疡病菌新暗色柱节孢(Neoscytalidium dimidiatum)的自噬相关基因,并分析其在过氧化氢、吡唑醚菌酯和苯醚甲环唑胁迫下的表达变化,为深入研究其功能提供理论依据。【方法】 通过同源比对从新暗色柱节孢基因组中鉴定自噬相关基因并进行生物信息学分析;利用转录组数据分析和实时荧光定量PCR验证新暗色柱节孢自噬相关基因在过氧化氢、吡唑醚菌酯和苯醚甲环唑胁迫下的表达情况;通过显微观察自噬泡,并分析新暗色柱节孢受非生物胁迫后对刚果红及碳/氮源缺乏的耐受性。【结果】 从新暗色柱节孢基因组中鉴定出30个自噬相关基因,系统发育分析显示这些基因多数与子囊菌门真菌的同源基因亲缘关系较近。表达分析显示,氧化(过氧化氢)胁迫对新暗色柱节孢自噬相关基因表达的调控作用相对较弱,仅诱导5个基因差异表达(1个上调、4个下调);相比之下,2种杀菌剂(吡唑醚菌酯和苯醚甲环唑)胁迫主要表现为抑制作用,分别导致12和17个基因表达下调,且2组处理均无基因表达上调。显微观察显示,过氧化氢胁迫对新暗色柱节孢的细胞自噬水平抑制作用最轻,苯醚甲环唑胁迫的抑制作用最强。菌落表型分析显示,吡唑醚菌酯胁迫后的新暗色柱节孢对刚果红的耐受力下降;此外,2种杀菌剂胁迫均降低新暗色柱节孢对碳/氮源缺乏的耐受能力。【结论】 在氧化胁迫和杀菌剂胁迫下差异表达的自噬相关基因通过调控自噬活性在新暗色柱节孢维持细胞稳态及应对非生物胁迫过程中发挥关键作用。

     

    Abstract: 【Objective】 This study aimed to identify autophagy-related genes (ATGs) in Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, the pathogen of pitaya canker, and analyze their expression changes under stresses of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), pyraclostrobin, and difenoconazole, providing theoretical basis for further research on their functions. 【Method】 ATGs were identified from the genome of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, and bioinformatic analysis was performed. The transcriptome data analysis and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR were utilized to detect expressions of ATGs of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum under stresses of H2O2, pyraclostrobin, and difenoconazole. Autophagic vacuoles were observed using microscopes, and the tolerance of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum to Congo red and carbon/nitrogen source deficiency was evalua-ted. 【Result】 Thirty ATGs were identified from the genome of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, and phylogenetic analysis showed that most genes shared close relationships with homologous genes of Ascomycota fungi. Gene expression analysis revealed that oxidative stress (H2O2) exhibited weak inhibitory effects on regulating expressions of ATGs of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, as it only induced five differentially expressed genes (one up-regulated and four down-regulated). In contrast, both fungicides (pyraclostrobin and difenoconazole) mainly exhibited inhibitory effects, leading to 12 and 17 down-regulated genes respectively, and no up-regulated genes were detected in the two treatment groups. Microscopic observation showed that H2O2 had the weakest inhibitory effects on autophagic level of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, while difenoconazole had the strongest. Colony assays demonstrated that the tolerance of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum to Congo red was reduced under pyraclostrobin stress; moreover, stress of the two fungicides reduced the tolerance of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum to carbon/nitrogen source deficiency. 【Conclusion】 Differentially expressed ATGs under oxidative and microbicide stresses play key roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to abiotic stresses for Neoscytalidium dimidiatum by regulating autophagy activity.
