aiming at MAPK gene families, the invention adopts a screening strategy based on the expression profile induced by cotton bollworm oral secretion, and the GhMPK31 gene is screened to be obviously induced. Then clone the gene and create the pest-sensing transgene material OM31 of the over-expression GhMPK31, which provides valuable resources for improving the pest-resistant breeding of upland cotton.

Example 1
1. Comprehensive analysis of upland cotton MAPK gene family
Genomic data from upland cotton (G.hirsutum) and Raymond cotton (G.raimondii) were from Cottongen (https:// www.cottongen.org /), and from Arabidopsis (A.thaliana) and rice (O.sativa) were from Ensembl Plants (http:// plant. Ensembl. Org/index. Html) and Rice Genome Annotation Project (http:// price. Uga. Edu/downloads_gad. Shtml), respectively.
MAPK protein coding sequences of arabidopsis, rice and Raymond cotton are used as query sequences, a BLASTP program is utilized to search upland cotton genomes (NBI) and (HAU), and a search based on a local Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is constructed according to the protein coding sequences to identify GhMPKs. The results of BLASTP and HMMER are then compared to remove redundant sequences, and finally the candidate gene is uploaded to SMART (http:// SMART. Emml. De /) and CDD (https:// www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/CDD /), confirming the presence of the conserved domain. The amino acid number, molecular Weight (MW) and isoelectric point (pI) were predicted by the ProtParam tool (https:// web. Expasy. Org/protParam /). Subcellular localization, transmembrane domain and signal peptide were predicted using the websites DeepLoc-2.0 (https:// services. Healthcare/services/DeepLoc-2.0 /), deepTMHMM (https:// DTU. Biological. Com/DeepTMHMM /) and SignalP-6 (https:// biological. Com/DTU/SignalP-6 /), respectively.
The MEGA 7.0 software is utilized to construct a phylogenetic tree based on the full-length protein sequences of Arabidopsis, rice, raymond cotton and upland cotton by adopting a Neighborhood Junction (NJ) method, and the phylogenetic tree is visualized by EvolView (https:// evolgenius. Info// evolvview-v 2). Conserved motifs of proteins were analyzed using the MEME program and visualized using Tbtools. The gene structure was analyzed by GSDS software (http:// GSDS. Gao-lab. Org /). Phosphorylation site analysis was done using NetPhos-3.1 (https:// services. Healthcare. Dtu. Dk/services/NetPhos-3.1 /). The cis-acting elements of the gene promoter region were analysed using the plantacare database (http:// bioinformation. Psb. Ugent. Be/webtools/plantacare/html /). The colinear analysis of upland cotton, arabidopsis, rice and Raymond cotton is carried out by using MCScanX software, and the visualization of the analysis is completed by using TBtools software. Mapping of the gene location on the chromosome and its whole genome gene replication events was performed using the Circos software.
As shown in FIG. 1, the candidate genes were verified by CDD and SMART software databases, and finally 55 GhMPKs family members were determined on the upland cotton genome. The GhMPK gene family is analyzed from the aspects of physicochemical property, family evolution relationship, gene structure, chromosome positioning, colinear analysis, promoter cis-acting element and phosphorus locus prediction and the like, so that the comprehensive understanding of the gene family is increased, and a foundation is laid for the functional analysis of the gene family in upland cotton.
2. Analysis of MAPK expression profiles in different tissues and under different stresses
Expression data of genes under different tissues and abiotic stress is derived from TM-1 transcriptome data. Transcriptome data of the gene at various times for cotton bollworm OS-induced expression was derived from NCBI Sequence ReadArchive (accession number: PRJNA 522889).
For different RNA sequencing reads, low quality reads were filtered using Trimmomatic (v.0.39) and then clean reads were mapped to the TM-1 reference genome using HISAT2 (v.2.2.1). Expression level (number of transcripts per million; TPM of genes calculated using StringTie (v.2.1.4) software. If TPM of one gene >0, it was considered to be expressed then, differential Expression Genes (DEGs) were identified using the DESeq2 package, false discovery rate (False Discovery Rate, FDR) <0.05, |log2 (fold change) |gtoreq 1. Heat map visualization was performed using Tbtools.
In transcriptome analysis of the GhMPK gene family response to cotton bollworm oral secretions, it was found that there was a fold change in 11 GhMPK gene differential expression of greater than 1.5 after cotton bollworm oral secretion induction compared to control at two time points of 30 minutes and 60 minutes (FIG. 2). Wherein, the expression level of GhMPK31 and GhMPK40 is higher than that of other genes at two time points. Binding to GhMPK31 is a direct homolog of SIPK and is involved in the regulation of plant defense against herbivorous insects. GhMPK31 was therefore selected for further study.
Example 2
1.GhMPK31 gene overexpression and RNAi vector construction
The upland cotton Jin668 strain (bred by cotton subject group guide in China university of agriculture (patent application number: 201510833618.0)) is used as a research material, RNA in leaves is extracted by using a plant RNA extraction kit (purchased by TIANGEN company), and then cDNA is obtained by RNA reverse transcription, wherein reagents for RNA reverse transcription comprise nuclease-free double distilled water, oligo (dT) 23VN, 4×gDNA viger Mix, random hexamers, 10×RT Mix and Hiscript II Enzyme Mix, and the reagents are purchased from Novirlaan company.
The cDNA template, such as the primer shown as SEQ ID NO.2-3, is used to amplify the full-length CDS sequence (SEQ ID NO. 1) of GhMPK31, and the full-length CDS sequence is inserted into the pK2GW7 vector by Gateway cloning technology to obtain the GhMPK31 gene overexpression vector (FIG. 3A). The cDNA was used as a template, and the primers shown in SEQ ID No.6-7 amplified an interference fragment of GhMPK31 (SEQ ID No. 8), and inserted into pHellgate 4 vector by Gateway cloning technique to obtain RNAi vector (FIG. 3A). The GhMPK31 gene overexpression vector and RNAi vector plasmid are electrically transduced into agrobacterium for genetic transformation of cotton.
2. Genetic transformation of cotton and identification of the Effect of GhMPK31 Gene expression on cotton
The constructed vector is subjected to a hypocotyl infection stage, a co-culture stage, a callus culture stage, a differentiation culture stage, a rooting culture stage, a nutrient solution culture stage and a transgenic plant growth stage in a greenhouse to obtain a transgenic plant. The agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation process described above is shown in fig. 3B. T0 generation GhMPK31 gene over-expression plants (OM 31) and RNAi transgenic plants (IM 31) are obtained from the cotton genetic transformation process, and the transformed recipient plants J668 are used as controls (WT). OM31 with high expression and IM31 with low expression were selected from T0 generation plants by QRTPCR for subsequent study. Seed of the selected plant is planted, and the grown plant is T1 generation plant.
(1) The expression level of GhMPK31 in T0 generation GhMPK31 gene over-expression plants grown to the bud stage, RNAi transgenic plants and WT plants is measured by qPCR.
qPCR assay method: the RNA of the above plants was extracted using a plant RNA extraction kit (purchased from TIANGEN Co.) and reverse transcribed into cDNA by reverse transcription. qPCR amplification was performed using QGhMPK31-F (SEQ ID NO. 4) and QGhMPK31-R (SEQ ID NO. 5) as primers and reverse transcribed cDNA as a template; the amplification reaction system is as follows: 20. Mu.L of the total system, 2X ChamQ Blue Universal SYBR QpcrMasterMix (purchased by Novain Co.) 10. Mu. L, QGhMPK 31-F0.4. Mu. L, QGhMPK 31-R0.4. Mu. L, cDNA 1. Mu.L, 8.2. Mu.L of double distilled water; the amplification procedure was: pre-denaturation: 95 ℃ for 2min; denaturation: 95 ℃ for 15S, annealing: and (5) cycling for 40 times at 60 ℃ for 30S. Quantitative statistics of the amplified products were performed using GhUB7 expression as an internal reference.
(2) Phenotype and plant height comparisons were performed on T1 generation GhMPK31 gene overexpression plants (OM 31), RNAi transgenic plants (IM 31) and WT plants grown to seedling stage and bud stage.
Based on the expression level of GhMPK31, two independent RNAi lines (IM 31-19 and IM 31-28) and two independent overexpressing lines (OM 31-11 and OM 31-24) were identified, and the expression level of GhMPK31 was significantly higher than that of WT and RNAi lines for subsequent study (FIG. 3C).
Phenotypic analysis of OM31 lines showed necrotic spots on leaves of all lines and the plants presented a dwarf structure, whereas RNAi lines were not significantly different from wild type (fig. 3D and 3E). Necrotic lesions on the OM31 series leaves were also observed to appear during the seedling stage and persist throughout the cotton growth phase. Necrotic lesions do not appear on new leaves, but are usually present on old leaves. Thus, these results indicate that necrotic spots are not caused by pathogen infection, but rather are a phenomenon of Hypersensitivity (HR) -like cell death.
3. Transcriptome sequencing technology (RNA-seq) analysis of Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) between OM31, IM31 and WT
Seeds of OM31 line, IM31 line and WT plants were germinated simultaneously and cultured in a greenhouse at 28℃with 16h light/8 h dark and 60% relative humidity. Four weeks later, leaves were removed, RNA was extracted for transcriptome sequencing, and 2 biological replicates were performed for each sample. For RNA sequencing reads from different tissues, low quality reads were filtered using Trimmomatic (v.0.39) and then the filtered reads were mapped to the TM-1 reference genome using HISAT2 (v.2.2.1). Gene expression level (TPM) was calculated using the StringTie (v.2.1.4) software. If the TPM of a gene is >0, the gene is considered to have been expressed. Subsequently, DEGs were identified using the DESeq2 package. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis was performed on all DEGs using KOBAS 3.0 software (http:// KOBAS. Cbi. Pku. Edu. Cn/index. Php). The heatmap was visualized with Tbtools, and GO and KEGG were visualized with microbial messages (https:// www.bioinformatics.com.cn /).
The difference in gene expression between the T1 generation OM31, IM31 and WT cotton leaves was analyzed using RNA-seq technique, and the expression level of GhMPK31 is shown in FIG. 4A. In contrast to WT, 6038 DEGs were identified in the OM31 line, of which 2844 genes down-regulate expression and 3239 genes up-regulate expression. Comparing OM31 and IM31 difference basisA total of 3175 DEGs were found. In contrast, only 974 DEGs were identified between IM31 and WT plants, indicating that interference with GhMPK31 had no significant effect on the expression of other genes (fig. 4B and 4D). GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed on three groups (OM 31 vs WT, OM31 vs IM31 and IM31 vs WT) according to up-and down-regulated DEGs, respectively (fig. 4E and 4F). The first 15 key pathways that up-regulate deg enrichment, whether in the OM31 vs WT group or the OM31 vs IM31 group, contain similar pathways (carbon fixation, carbon metabolism, nitrogen metabolism, and peroxisomes in photosynthetic organisms). Furthermore, the same GO items were found in the first 15 upregulated DEG-enriched GO items of these two groups, including chloroplasts, peroxisomes, NADPH oxidase and H 2 O 2 Generating activity. In addition, some and H were found 2 O 2 The relevant key genes (RBOHA, RBOHD, CAT1 and CAT 2) significantly up-regulated expression in OM31 plants (fig. 4C). These results indicate that GhMPK31 is overexpressed in plants with plant carbon fixation, nitrogen metabolism and H 2 O 2 The generation and decomposition are associated with each other.
4. Overexpression of GhMPK31 results in cotton leaf H 2 O 2 Level increase
And simultaneously culturing the seeds of the T1 generation of OM31, IM31 and WT under the same environmental condition to obtain the plants of the T2 generation.
Six weeks later, DAB staining was performed on leaves of the same parts of three plants: detection of H with 3, 3-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) using endogenous peroxidase-dependent in situ histochemical staining 2 O 2 . After the isolated leaves are completely immersed in DAB staining solution, the isolated leaves are immersed for 15min under vacuum condition, so that the staining solution can conveniently enter the cell gap. After 8h of immersion in the dark, the solution was exposed to light for 1h. The DAB staining solution remaining on the leaves was rinsed with distilled water. Subsequently, the leaves were immersed in the decolorization solution (75% ethanol+5% glycerol) a plurality of times under dark conditions at 37℃until the chlorophyll was completely removed, and photographed.
By H 2 O 2 Quantification kit (#C 500069, sangon Biotech, shanghai, china) H was performed on T2-generation OM31, IM31 and WT leaves grown to six weeks 2 O 2 And (5) content testing.
Identification of Participation H by qPCR according to the conventional method 2 O 2 Synthesized and decomposed NADPH oxidase and catalase genes. Expression of GhUB7 was used as an internal control. The related primers comprise: primers GhRBOHB-QRT-S and GhRBOHB-QRT-A; ghRBOHC-QRT-S and GhRBOHC-QRT-A; ghCAT-S and GhCAT-A; the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO. 9-14.
The results showed that IM31 and WT plants were higher than OM31 and OM31 plants had brown spots on leaves (fig. 5A). Significant reddish brown precipitate accumulation occurred in the leaves of OM31, whereas no such accumulation occurred in the leaves of IM31 and WT (fig. 5B), and reddish brown precipitate formed in the transparent leaves demonstrated H 2 O 2 Is present. H 2 O 2 Content test shows that H in OM31 strain 2 O 2 Levels were significantly higher than IM31 and WT plants (fig. 5C). In addition, several of the involvement in H was identified by RT-qPCR 2 O 2 Synthesized and decomposed NADPH oxidase and catalase genes. The results showed that the expression levels of GhCAT1, ghRBOHB and GhRBOHC were significantly increased in OM31 line compared to WT and IM31 line (fig. 5D). These results indicate that overexpression of GhMPK31 results in H in cotton leaf 2 O 2 Elevated levels, resulting in HR-like cell death and dwarfing of OM31 plants.
5. Molecular interactions between GhMPK31 and GhRBOHB
The gene of interest used in this experiment was from cotton. To further explore the mechanism by which GhMPK31 regulates ROS, subcellular localization of GhMPK31 was first studied. The complete CDS of GhMPK31 was fused to the N-terminus of GFP and transiently expressed in tobacco epidermis, and fluorescent signals were observed by copolymerization Jiao Guangpu microscopy to appear in both cell membrane and nucleus (fig. 6A). Yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) experiments were then performed to screen for potential interacting proteins and found direct interactions of the GhMPK31 protein with NADPH oxidase (GhRBOHB) according to conventional methods (fig. 6B). Interaction between GhMPK31 and GhRBOHB was further confirmed by conducting luciferase complementation imaging (BiFC) and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (LCI) experiments in a conventional manner (fig. 6C and 6D). The three-dimensional structure of these two protein interaction models was constructed using a Y2H-AOS protein interaction prediction analysis, with a protein interaction confidence score of 9.6, demonstrating the high probability of such interactions (fig. 6E). These results reveal that GhMPK31 interacts with GhRBOHB in cotton.
6. Effect of GhMPK31 Gene overexpression on Cotton defensive metabolites
Metabolome analysis was performed on T1 generation OM31 and WT plants to determine the changes in defense-related metabolites between them and to investigate the effect of GhMPK31 on cotton defense against herbivores.
The identified metabolites were annotated using the KEGG database (https:// www.genome.jp/KEGG/path. Html), the HMDB database (https:// HMDB. Ca/metatemplates) and the LIPIDMaps database (http:// www.lipidmaps.org /). And a multivariate statistical analysis part for converting the data by using metabonomics data processing software metaX, and performing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) to obtain the VIP value of each metabolite. Volcanic images are plotted using R-packet ggplot2, and the three parameters VIP, log2 (FoldChange) and-log 10 (p-value) of the metabolite can be integrated to screen the metabolite of interest. Cluster heatmaps, plotted with R package Pheatmap, were normalized with z-score for metabolite data. Correlation analysis (pearson correlation coefficient) between differential metabolites was performed using the R language.
The results showed that 698 total metabolites were detected, of which 185 exhibited significant differences (P < 0.05). 76.7% of the metabolites in OM31 line were significantly reduced compared to WT plants (fig. 7A). These differential metabolites are categorized into 21 different classes of compounds, most of which are categorized as amino acids and derivatives thereof, carbohydrates and derivatives thereof, organic acids and derivatives thereof, organic heterocyclic compounds, and the like. Known endogenous defensive metabolites of major interest include flavonoids, alkaloids and derivatives thereof, phenols and derivatives thereof, which are significantly reduced in OM31 plants (fig. 7B and 7C). It was shown that overexpression of GhMPK31 reduces accumulation of defensive metabolites in cotton, resulting in increased sensitivity to phytophagous insects
Example 3 experiment of Selective feeding of Heliothis armigera larvae and non-Selective feeding of Spodoptera litura larvae
The T1 generation transgenic plants and the WT plants were cultivated under the same field conditions. 3 leaf types were selected from OM31 strain: young leaves without necrotic spots, leaves with necrotic spots and old leaves with necrotic spots. Similarly, leaves of the corresponding parts of the WT plants were selected as controls. Cotton leaves of the T1-generation OM31 and WT plants are evenly distributed, and food can be ingested by the three-instar cotton bollworm larvae at will.
The feeding experiments were selected in 29X 44cm plastic boxes. Three-instar larvae were first starved for 6 hours, and then the removed leaves were symmetrically and evenly aligned. 4 starved larvae were placed in the middle of each plastic box, allowed to eat freely for 24 hours, and photographed at 0 and 24 hours (fig. 8A). The consumption of cotton leaves was calculated using ImageJ software. In the non-selective feeding experiments, 9cm round glass petri dishes were used to hold WT plants and OM31 leaves, respectively. 8 larvae with weight of 0.018-0.022g were selected, 1 per tray, and placed on leaves individually. The larval body weights were recorded on day 0 and day 5, respectively.
The results showed that all three types of leaves of OM31 strain were significantly increased in consumption compared to WT plants as observed over 24 hours (fig. 8B). In non-selective experiments, WT plants and OM31 plant leaves were fed with prodenia litura larvae of second age for 5 consecutive days. The results observed that the weight of the larvae fed OM31 leaves was significantly greater than that fed WT leaves (fig. 8C and 8D). Together, these results demonstrate that overexpression of GhMPK31 results in a reduction of various metabolites, including defenses, which impair cotton's defenses against phytophagous insects.
Together, these results demonstrate that GhMPK31 can regulate the burst of reactive oxygen species in cotton through interaction with GhRBOHB, resulting in apoptosis of leaf cells. At the same time, the defensive metabolites of the cotton are reduced, and the defensive ability of the cotton pests is reduced. The discovery enriches the research of MAPK in the insect-resistant function of upland cotton, and provides valuable reference for the insect-resistant breeding of upland cotton.
The foregoing is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and it should be noted that modifications and adaptations to those skilled in the art may be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, which are intended to be comprehended within the scope of the present invention.
