Abstract

【Objective】Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae and bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) seriously affect rice yield and quality. The transgenic materials of OsLOX10 were created to evaluate the resistance to M. oryzae and Xoo. The possible mechanism of OsLOX10 in regulating the defense responses to rice blast and bacterial blight were elucidated. 【Method】The knockout vector of OsLOX10 was constructed using CRISPR/Cas9 system, and the overexpression vector of OsLOX10 was constructed by linearizing pCXUN-HA with restriction enzyme XcmⅠ and linking with TA ligation. Transgenic rice was obtained by genetic transformation, and the homozygous transgenic lines were screened for fungal and bacterial resistance analysis. The expression dynamics of SA (salicylic acid) and JA (jasmonic acid) pathway marker genes were analyzed by qRT-PCR after infection with M. oryzae. The outbreak of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by chitin and flg22 in rice was also observed. 【Result】qRT-PCR analysis showed that the OsLOX10 expression was up-regulated 24 h after inoculation with M. oryzae and Xoo. The OsLOX10 knockout lines were more susceptible to the rice blast than that of the wild type (Nipponbare) when inoculated with the spore suspension of M. oryzae Guy11, while the overexpressed lines had no typical disease symptoms. At 6, 12, 24 and 36 hours post inoculation, the transcriptional levels of three pathogenesis-related genes, OsPBZ1, OsPR1a and OsPR1b, and two JA pathway genes, OsAOS2 and OsLOX5, and SA pathway gene OsPAL1, were significantly down-regulated in the knockout transgenic lines. However, they were significantly up-regulated in overexpressed transgenic lines. The OsLOX10 transgenic rice was inoculated with Xoo (PXO99A), and the OsLOX10 knockout lines were more susceptible to bacterial blight. qRT-PCR analysis showed that the relative expression levels of OsPR1b, OsPAL1 and the three genes (OsAOS2, OsAOC and OsJAZ) involved in the JA synthesis pathway were up-regulated in OsLOX10 overexpression lines, significantly down-regulated in OsLOX10 knockout lines seven days after Xoo inoculation. OsLOX10 knockout also significantly reduced the ROS level induced by chitin and flg22 in rice, delayed the peaking time of ROS induced by chitin, and reduced the sensitivity of rice to chitin and flg22.【Conclusion】OsLOX10 could be induced by infection with M. oryzae and Xoo. OsLOX10 may be involved in pathogen-associated molecular patterns triggered immunity, and play a positive regulatory role in rice resistance to rice blast and bacterial blight. Moreover, the OsLOX10 may regulate rice resistance to M. oryzae and Xoo through SA and JA mediated signaling pathways.
