Abstract:

Leaf blight is a bacterial disease of rice which leads to heavy yield losses. Xa21 which harbors broad spectrum resistance to leaf blight is the first resistant gene cloned in rice and is widely used in rice breeding program. The identification of transcription factor involved in Xa21-mediated resistance to bacterial leaf blight is of great significance. In this study, transgenic WRKY68-RNAi lines with reduced expression level of WRKY68 protein in the background of Xa21 were generated. The WRKY68-RNAi transgenic lines showed reduced resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), indicating that WRKY68 played a positive role in Xa21-mediated resistance in rice. No detectable changes of WRKY68 protein abundance in leaves at different stages and positions after inoculation were identified by Western blot, indicating that the expression of WRKY68 protein were independent of Xa21 and Xoo, and thus WRKY68 gene may function as a transcription factor to regulate downstream genes. It was further found that the abundance of a number of pathogenesis-related proteins, including PR1A, PR5, PR10A, PR-pha, and PAL1 were dramatically changed in WRKY68-RNAi transgenic lines when inoculated with Xoo, suggested that these pathogenesis-related proteins were regulated by WRKY68 and the corresponding genes were involved in the downstream defenses responses.

Key words: rice, bacterial leaf blight, resistance gene Xa21, WRKY transcription factor, pathogenesis-related protein
