Screening and functional characterization of candidate resistance genes to powdery mildew from Dasypyrum villosum#4 in a wheat line Pm97033.
Abstract
Three genes designated DvLox, Pm21#4, and Pm21#4-H identified in a wheat-Dasypyrum villosum#4 T6V#4S·6DL translocation line Pm97033 conferred wheat for powdery mildew resistance. Powdery mildew (PM) caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt) is one of the most devastating diseases in wheat. To date, only a few genes conferring resistance to wheat PM are cloned. Dasypyrum villosum is a wild relative of wheat, which provides Pm21 conferring wheat immunity to PM. In this study, we obtained many differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from a wheat-D. villosum#4 T6V#4S·6DL translocation line Pm97033 using RNA-sequencing. Among them, 7 DEGs associated with pathogen resistance were up-regulated in front of Bgt infection. Virus-induced gene silencing and transformation assays demonstrated that two of them, DvLox and Pm21#4 encoding a lipoxygenase and a encoding coiled-coil/nucleotide-binding site/leucine-rich repeat resistance protein, conferred wheat PM resistance. The transgenic wheat plants expressing DvLox enhanced PM resistance, and the transgenic wheat plants expressing Pm21#4 showed PM immunity. The Pm21#4-silenced Pm97033 plants by the cluster regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated endonuclease (CRISPR/C...Continue Reading

CRISPR for Genome Editing
Genome editing technologies enable the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) are DNA sequences in the genome that are recognized and cleaved by CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas). Here is the latest research on the use of CRISPR-Cas system in gene editing.
