Abstract

【Objective】 The Pi9 gene confers broad-spectrum resistance against Magnaporthe oryzae. Rice monogenic line IRBL9-W carrying single blast resistance gene Pi9 is highly resistant to leaf blast during the seedling stage, but it is susceptible to neck blast at adult-plant stage in blast nursery. It is important to analyze the mechanism behind the reversion of resistance to Magnaporthe oryzae, which will provide important information for effective utilization of Pi9 in disease-resistant rice breeding program.【Method】Eight single spore strains of M. oryzae isolated from neck blast samples of diseased IRBL9-W, and one isolate Y363 were artificially inoculated by spraying at seedling stage to pathotype their pathogenicity on 24 monogenic lines including IRBL9-W. Two out of eight strains and control strain Y363 were further selected and inoculated on IRBL9-W at late-booting stage by injecting to evaluate their pathogenicity. The alleles of M. oryzae AvrPi9 gene cognate to rice blast resistance gene Pi9 were amplified and sequenced with AvrPi9-specific primers in nine strains. Total RNA of the rice monogenic line IRBL9-W in seedling and late-booting stage was extracted from young leaf and panicle, respectively. The expression analysis of Pi9 gene was performed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and real-time qRT-PCR. 【Result】 The monogenic line IRBL9-W was completely resistant to the nine M. oryzae strains at the seedling stage exposed to the artificial spraying. However, IRBL9-W was susceptible to panicle blast when inoculated with both two randomly selected strains (YX2-7-1 and YX2-15-1) isolated from panicle blast lesions of IRBL9-W, and the control strain Y363 by injecting inoculation at the late-booting stage. Compared with AvrPi9, allelic sequence amplified from Y363 was identical to cloned AvrPi9, and the coding region of the other eight strains isolated from IRBL9-W panicle blast was identical to AvrPi9 gene, except for a 16-bp deletion at -264 bp upstream of the coding starting position in the eight strains. Given high resistance of IRBL9-W to these strains at the seedling stage, we contended that this 16-bp deletion did not affect the function of AvrPi9 gene; qRT-PCR results showed that the relative expression level of Pi9 gene in panicle was only 47.3% as compared to that in seedling leaves. 【Conclusion】Compared with the relative expression level of Pi9 gene at the seedling stage in IRBL9-W, the significant decrease of Pi9 gene expression level in panicle of IRBL9-W could be the cause of susceptibility to M. oryzae at late-booting stage.
