Transcriptome Analysis of Peach Response to Botryosphaeria dothidea Infection
In order to explore the molecular mechanism of peach in response to the infection of Botryosphaeria dothidea,in this study,high-throughput sequencing was used for transcriptomic sequencing of'Fengguang'peach shoot inoculated with B.dothidea.Compared with the control,1 463 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were screened,among which 911 were up-regulated and 552 were down-regulated.A total of 1 231 and 255 DEGs were annotated to GO and KEGG database,respectively.GO enrichment analysis showed that DEGs were mainly enriched in cell component,molecular function and biological process.Cellular component mainly includes:cell part,cell,organelle,membrane,etc.;molecular function mainly includes:catalytic activity,nucleic acid binding transcription factor activity,transporter activity,receptor activity,etc.;biological process mainly includes:cellular process,metabolic process,response to stimulus,biological regulation,etc..KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs were involved in 66 metabolic pathways.The most significant pathways were plant-pathogen interaction and plant hormone signal transduction.A series of genes related to plant resistance,ethylene and calcium signaling way were identified from the peach shoots infected by B.dothidea.Sixteen genes were randomly selected for real-time quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)analysis,and the results were almost consistent with that of transcriptome sequencing.These results revealed the gene expression pattern of peach in response to B.dothidea infection,provided a theoretical reference for exploring the pathogenicity mechanism of the pathogen.
