Abstract

【Objective】 To substantiate the genetic mechanisms behind the disease resistance of rice, we identified a rice lesion mimic mutant lm8015-2. 【Method】 lm8015-2 was obtained from an EMS-induced Zhonghui 8015 (ZH8015) mutant library. The SOD, CAT, POD activities, H2O2, MDA, SP, photosynthetic pigments contents, the expression level of defense genes were analyzed in lm8015-2 and its wild-type leaves. The population derived from 02428/ lm8015-2 was used for genetic analysis and fine mapping. 【Result】 Its red rust-like spots were first observed on the tips of the mutant leaves three weeks after sowing, then spread gradually to the whole leaf and throughout the plant at tillering stage, causing the death of whole leaf at heading stage. The shading assay showed that the lesions on the leaves of lm8015-2 were induced by natural light. Meanwhile, photosynthetic pigment contents of lm8015-2 decreased significantly. The staining experiments of EB and DAB showed the excessive H2O2 deposition and cell death of lm8015-2. Compared with the wild type, the activities of SOD and POD, the MDA content increased, while the content of SP decreased in the mutant lm8015-2. Genetic analysis suggested that the phenotype of lm8015-2 was controlled by a single nuclear recessive gene, which was located in a 104 kb interval between the markers W32-85 and C32-8 on chromosome 5. Sequencing analysis revealed that a single base substitution (T to A) of the initiation codon (ATG) occurred in the DNA sequence of LOC_Os05g48390, resulting in the absence of initiation codon. The qRT-PCR results showed the expression of partial defense genes were up-regulated obviously in lm8015-2. 【Conclusion】 The results reveal the target gene is allelic to LTN1, and the mutation of LM8015-2 likely enhances the expression of partial defense genes.
