Abstract

Citrus canker, caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri, is a devastating disease of most commercial citrus varieties. In our previous study, we analyzed the transcriptional response of 'Valencia' sweet orange to X. citri subsp. citri wild-type and pthA4 mutant infection at 48 h postinoculation (hpi). Using microarray analysis, two PthA4 targets, CsLOB1 and CsSWEET1, were identified. We have shown that PthA4 binds to the effector binding element (EBE) of CsLOB1 and activates gene expression of this susceptibility gene. However, how PthA4 modulates host genes at different stages of infection remains to be determined. In this study, we compared the transcriptional profiles between citrus leaf tissue inoculated with Xcc306 and those inoculated with a pthA4-deletion mutant strain (Xcc306∆pthA4) at 6, 48, and 120 hpi. At both 48 and 120 hpi, the PthA4-mediated infection significantly upregulated expression of a variety of genes involved in cell-wall degradation and modification, DNA packaging, G-protein, protein synthesis, sucrose metabolism, and cell division functions, while the downregulated genes were mainly enriched in photosynthesis, transport, secondary metabolism, cytochrome P450, and various plant defense-associated mechani...Continue Reading
