Abstract:

Wheat sharp eyespot has become an important limiting factor of wheat production in China. The precondition for wheat sharp eyespot resistant breeding is to study the molecular basis of wheat defense response and to identify effective resistance genes. In this study, a wheat receptor-like kinase (RLK) gene, named TaPK3A, was cloned from sharp eyespot-resistant wheat line CI12633, and the expression and function of the TaPK3A gene were analyzed. TaPK3A contains an open reading frame with 1983 bp length. It encodes a protein kinase that is consisted of 660 amino acids. RT-qPCR analysis showed that the expression of TaPK3A in sharp eyespot-resistant wheat line CI12633 was significantly induced by the pathogen of sharp eyespot (Rhizoctonia cerealis). The TaPK3A gene was expressed in all the tissues, with the highest expression level in the leaves. The expression of TaPK3A was significantly up-regulated by salicylic acid. By means of barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) based virus-induced gene-silencing (VIGS), TaPK3A was silenced in CI12633 plants. After R. cerealis (WK207) inoculation, TaPK3A-silenced CI12633 plants displayed a significant decrease in resistance to R. cerealis infection compared with BSMV: GFP-infected CI12633 plants (control). These results suggested that TaPK3A is required for wheat defense response to sharp eyespot.

Key words: receptor-like kinase TaPK3A, wheat sharp eyespot, resistance response, virus-induced gene silencing
