[Objective] Verticillium wilt is a vascular fungal disease spread by soil, which causes serious loss of cotton yield and reduction in quality every year. This study provides a theoretical basis for the innovation of cotton multi-resistant germplasms by identifying disease resistance genes and studying disease resistance mechanisms. [Method] Yeast one hybrid was performed to screen the upstream regulatory factors of GhLac1, and the construction of phylogenetic trees, multiple alignment of amino acid sequences, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), transient tobacco transformation, dual luciferase assay system, virus-induced gene silencing and cotton genetic transformation technology were performed to verify the function of this transcription factor. [Result] Gh_D12G0544 is the most homologous to AtMYB43 in Arabidopsis thaliana, so its encoding gene was named GhMYB43. GhMYB43 is located on chromosome 12 of the Dt subgroup of upland cotton and encodes a protein containing 376 amino acids that contains two MYB domains. RT-qPCR analysis showed that GhMYB43 was predominantly transcribed in the stem and was up-regulated by salicylic acid (SA) and H2O2, but down-regulated by methyl jasmonate (Me-JA); at the same time, the transcription level was induced by Verticillium dahliae. Subcellular localization results showed that GhMYB43 protein is localized in the nucleus. The dual luciferase assay system verified that the gene has transcriptional activation activity. Disease resistance identification found that the inhibition GhMYB43 transcription level enhanced the resistance of cotton to V. dahliae, and overexpression of GhMYB43 increased the susceptibility of plants to this pathogen. Histochemical staining and content determination of lignin showed that the lignin content of GhMYB43 overexpressing transgenic lines was significantly lower than that of control materials. RT-qPCR analysis showed that GhMYB43 negatively regulates the transcription level of enzyme genes involved in the lignin synthesis and JA signaling pathway. [Conclusion] GhMYB43 negatively regulates lignin synthesis and JA signal.

Verticillium dahliae is a phytopathogenic fungal pathogen that causes vascular wilt diseases responsible for considerable decreases in cotton yields. The lignification of cell wall appositions is a conserved basal defence mechanism in the plant innate immune response. However, the function of laccase in defence-induced lignification has not been described. Screening of an SSH library of a resistant cotton cultivar, Jimian20, inoculated with V. dahliae revealed a laccase gene that was strongly induced by the pathogen. This gene was phylogenetically related to AtLAC15 and contained domains conserved by laccases; therefore, we named it GhLAC15. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction indicated that GhLAC15 maintained higher expression levels in tolerant than in susceptible cultivars. Overexpression of GhLAC15 enhanced cell wall lignification, resulting in increased total lignin, G monolignol and G/S ratio, which significantly improved the Verticillium wilt resistance of transgenic Arabidopsis. In addition, the levels of arabinose and xylose were higher in transgenic plants than in wild-type plants, which resulted in transgenic Arabidopsis plants being less easily hydrolysed. Furthermore, suppression of the transcriptional level of GhLAC15 resulted in an increase in susceptibility in cotton. The content of monolignol and the G/S ratio were lower in silenced cotton plants, which led to resistant cotton cv. Jimian20 becoming susceptible. These results demonstrate that GhLAC15 enhances Verticillium wilt resistance via an increase in defence-induced lignification and arabinose and xylose accumulation in the cell wall of Gossypium hirsutum. This study broadens our knowledge of defence-induced lignification and cell wall modifications as defence mechanisms against V. dahliae.© 2018 The Authors.

Secondary cell wall (SCW) biosynthesis during wood formation in trees is controlled by a multilevel regulatory network that coordinates the expression of substantial genes. However, few transcription factors involved in the negative regulation of secondary wall biosynthesis have been characterized in tree species. In this study, we isolated an R2R3 MYB transcription factor MYB189 from Populus trichocarpa, which is expressed predominantly in secondary vascular tissues, especially in the xylem. A novel repression motif was identified in the C-terminal region of MYB189, which indicates this factor was a transcriptional repressor. Overexpression (OE) of MYB189 in Arabidopsis and poplar resulted in a significant reduction in the contents of lignin, cellulose and hemicelluloses. Vascular development in stems of MYB189 OE lines was markedly inhibited, leading to a dramatic decrease in SCW thickness of xylem fibers. Gene expression analyses showed that most of the structural genes involved in the biosynthesis of lignin, cellulose and xylans were significantly downregulated in MYB189-overexpressing poplars compared with the wild-type control. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and transient expression assays revealed that MYB189 could directly bind to the promoters of secondary wall biosynthetic genes to repress their expression. Together, these data suggest that MYB189 acts as a repressor to regulate SCW biosynthesis in poplar.© The Author(s) 2019. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.

The function of the plant hormone jasmonic acid (JA) in the development of tomato () flowers was analyzed with a mutant defective in JA perception (, ). In contrast with Arabidopsis () JA-insensitive plants, which are male sterile, the tomato mutant is female sterile, with major defects in female development. To identify putative JA-dependent regulatory components, we performed transcriptomics on ovules from flowers at three developmental stages from wild type and mutants. One of the strongly downregulated genes in encodes the MYB transcription factor SlMYB21. Its Arabidopsis ortholog plays a crucial role in JA-regulated stamen development. SlMYB21 was shown here to exhibit transcription factor activity in yeast, to interact with SlJAZ9 in yeast and in planta, and to complement Arabidopsis To analyze SlMYB21 function, we generated clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)/CRISPR associated protein 9 (Cas9) mutants and identified a mutant by Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes (TILLING). These mutants showed female sterility, corroborating a function of MYB21 in tomato ovule development. Transcriptomics analysis of wild type,, and carpels revealed processes that might be controlled by SlMYB21. The data suggest positive regulation of JA biosynthesis by SlMYB21, but negative regulation of auxin and gibberellins. The results demonstrate that SlMYB21 mediates at least partially the action of JA and might control the flower-to-fruit transition.© 2019 American Society of Plant Biologists. All rights reserved.

The incompatible pathosystem between resistant cotton (Gossypium barbadense cv. 7124) and Verticillium dahliae strain V991 was used to study the cotton transcriptome changes after pathogen inoculation by RNA-Seq. Of 32,774 genes detected by mapping the tags to assembly cotton contigs, 3442 defence-responsive genes were identified. Gene cluster analyses and functional assignments of differentially expressed genes indicated a significant transcriptional complexity. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was performed on selected genes with different expression levels and functional assignments to demonstrate the utility of RNA-Seq for gene expression profiles during the cotton defence response. Detailed elucidation of responses of leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases (LRR-RLKs), phytohormone signalling-related genes, and transcription factors described the interplay of signals that allowed the plant to fine-tune defence responses. On the basis of global gene regulation of phenylpropanoid metabolism-related genes, phenylpropanoid metabolism was deduced to be involved in the cotton defence response. A closer look at the expression of these genes, enzyme activity, and lignin levels revealed differences between resistant and susceptible cotton plants. Both types of plants showed an increased level of expression of lignin synthesis-related genes and increased phenylalanine-ammonia lyase (PAL) and peroxidase (POD) enzyme activity after inoculation with V. dahliae, but the increase was greater and faster in the resistant line. Histochemical analysis of lignin revealed that the resistant cotton not only retains its vascular structure, but also accumulates high levels of lignin. Furthermore, quantitative analysis demonstrated increased lignification and cross-linking of lignin in resistant cotton stems. Overall, a critical role for lignin was believed to contribute to the resistance of cotton to disease.

Lignin is a phenylpropanoid-derived polymer that functions as a major component of cell walls in plant vascular tissues. Biosynthesis of the aromatic amino acid Phe provides precursors for many secondary metabolites, including lignins and flavonoids. Here, we discovered that MYB transcription factors MYB20, MYB42, MYB43, and MYB85 are transcriptional regulators that directly activate lignin biosynthesis genes and Phe biosynthesis genes during secondary wall formation in Arabidopsis (). Disruption of,,, and resulted in growth development defects and substantial reductions in lignin biosynthesis. In addition, our data showed that these MYB proteins directly activated transcriptional repressors that specifically inhibit flavonoid biosynthesis, which competes with lignin biosynthesis for Phe precursors. Together, our results provide important insights into the molecular framework for the lignin biosynthesis pathway.© 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists. All Rights Reserved.

Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae Kleb., is a serious threat to cotton (Gossypium spp.) crop production. To enhance our understanding of the plant's complex defensive mechanism, we examined colonization patterns and interactions between V. dahliae and two cotton species, the resistant G. barbadense and the susceptible G. hirsutum. Microscopic examinations and grafting experiments showed that the progression of infection was restricted within G. barbadense. At all pre- and postinoculation sampling times, levels of salicylic acid (SA) were also higher in that species than in G. hirsutum. Comparative RNA-Seq analyses indicated that infection induced dramatic changes in the expression of thousands of genes in G. hirsutum, whereas those changes were fewer and weaker in G. barbadense. Investigations of the morphological and biochemical nature of cell-wall barriers demonstrated that depositions of lignin, phenolic compounds, and callose were significantly higher in G. barbadense. To determine the contribution of a known resistance gene to these processes, we silenced GbEDS1 and found that the transformed plants had decreased SA production, which led to the upregulation of PLASMODESMATA-LOCATED PROTEIN (PDLP) 1 and PDLP6. This was followed by a decline in callose deposition in the plasmodesmata, which then led to increased pathogen susceptibility. This comparison between resistant and susceptible species indicated that both physical and chemical mechanisms play important roles in the defenses of cotton against V. dahliae.

R2R3-MYB transcription factors are important regulators of the growth and development of plants. Here, CmMYB8 a chrysanthemum gene encoding an R2R3-MYB transcription factor, was isolated and functionally characterized. The gene was transcribed throughout the plant, but most strongly in the stem. When CmMYB8 was over-expressed, a number of genes encoding components of lignin synthesis were down-regulated, and the plants' lignin content was reduced. The composition of the lignin in the transgenic plants was also altered, and its S/G ratio was reduced. A further consequence of the over-expression of CmMYB8 was to lessen the transcript abundance of key genes involved in flavonoid synthesis, resulting in a reduced accumulation of flavonoids. The indication is that the CmMYB8 protein participates in the negative regulation of both lignin and flavonoid synthesis.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

To respond to pathogen attack, selection and associated evolution has led to the creation of plant immune system that are a highly effective and inducible defense system. Central to this system are the plant defense hormones jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) and crosstalk between the two, which may play an important role in defense responses to specific pathogens or even genotypes. Here, we used the - pathosystem to test how the host's defense system functions against genetic variation in a pathogen. We measured defense-related phenotypes and transcriptomic responses in Arabidopsis wild-type Col-0 and JA- and SA-signaling mutants, and, individually challenged with 96 diverse isolates. Those data showed genetic variation in the pathogen influences on all components within the plant defense system at the transcriptional level. We identified four gene coexpression networks and two vectors of defense variation triggered by genetic variation in This showed that the JA and SA signaling pathways functioned to constrain/canalize the range of virulence in the pathogen population, but the underlying transcriptomic response was highly plastic. These data showed that plants utilize major defense hormone pathways to buffer disease resistance, but not the metabolic or transcriptional responses to genetic variation within a pathogen.© 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists.
