Abstract:

In order to understand the pathogenic mechanism of the pathogenicity-related gene CcTLS1 from Corynespora cassiicola,virulent strain HG141025224 and the low virulent strain HG15052104 were used as the research object. Through genetic transformation of CcTLS1 gene deletion and complement of virulent strain and heterologous expression of low virulent strain,to study the role of CcTLS1 gene in the pathogenicity of C. cassiicola. The full length of CcTLS1 is determined to be 1 222 bp,which has no sequence similarity with the annotated genes in GenBank. Compared with wild strain HG14102524,the CcTLS1 knockout mutant ΔCcTLS1 showed decreased virulence on cucumber plant significantly,the conidiation and conidiophores decreased,the hyphae became thin and easily friable,the septum decreased,and the secretion of cellobiohydrolase lowered. The pathogenicity,conidiation and cellobiohydrolase secretion of complement mutant cΔCcTLS1 were recovered. Compared with wild strain HG15052104,the CcTLS1 heterologous expression mutant AH3-23 showed improved virulence on cucumber plant significantly,hyphae were thick and the septum increased,and the secretion of cellulase and cellobiohydrolase was significantly augmented. The relative expression levels of protein kinase genes CCK1,conidiation-related genes(CcflbcCcstuA)and melanocyte formation related genes CcSCD1 were significantly down-regulated in CcTLS1 gene knockout mutant. The results showed that CcTLS1 gene affected sporulation mechanism,mycelia growth,expression of protein kinase and melanin synthesis,and played an important role in pathogenicity of C. cassiicola.
