Abstract

Conserved functional region of DUF500 was cloned by PCR from cDNA of expression HarpinXoo (hrf1) transgenic rice NJH12. OsDUF500 encodes an unknown function member of DUF500 family. Calli from mature embryos of rice cultivar R109 were transformed by Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105/ABD::pVec8. There were eight OsDUF500 transgenic lines from nine hygromycin resistant lines by PCR analysis. Compared with the wild type, the downexpressed lines ABD are characterized by reduced plant height, shortened leaf and white blighted grain. Disease assays of transgenic rice plants infected by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (PXO99) indicated that different transgenic lines had different resistance to rice leaf blight. Lesion length of the downexpression lines reduced significantly and lesion area all bellowed 30%. Lesion areas of the ABD3 and ABD5 were 12.3% and 15.7%, respectively. Thus, we predicted OsDUF500gene, which was upregulated in rice blast, maybe was a negative regulator on bacterial blight resistance.
