Transcriptome Analysis of GmPUB20A Overexpressing and RNA-Interferencing Transgenic Hairy Roots Reveals Underlying Negative Role in Soybean Resistance to Cyst Nematode.
Journal of agricultural and food chemistry(2023)
Abstract
Ubiquitination genes are key components of plant responses to biotic stress. GmPUB20A, a ubiquitination gene, plays a negative role in soybean resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN). In this study, we employed high-throughput sequencing to investigate transcriptional changes in GmPUB20A overexpressing and RNA-interfering transgenic hairy roots. Totally, 7661 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses revealed that DEGs were significantly enriched in disease resistance and signal transduction pathways. In addition, silencing Glyma.15G021600 and Glyma.09G284700 by siRNA, the total number of nematodes was decreased by 33.48% and 27.47% than control plants, respectively. Further, GUS activity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) assays revealed that GmPUB20A, Glyma.15G021600, and Glyma.09G284700 respond to SCN parasitism and interfere with the accumulation of ROS in plant roots, respectively. Collectively, our study provides insights into the molecular mechanism of GmPUB20A in soybean resistance to SCN.
