Lignin accumulation can enhance the disease resistance of young tea shoots(Camellia sinensis).It also greatly reduces their tenderness,which indirectly affects the quality and yield of tea.Therefore,the regulation of lignin biosynthesis appears to be an effective way to balance tenderness and disease resistance in young tea shoots.In this study,we identified a laccase gene,CsLAC17,that is induced during tenderness reduction and gray blight infection in young tea shoots.Overexpression of CsLAC17 significantly increased the lignin content in transgenic Arabidopsis,enhancing their resistance to gray blight and decreasing stem tenderness.In addition,we found that CsLAC17 was negatively regulated by the upstream CsmiR397a by 5'-RLM-RACE,dual-luciferase assay,and transient expression in young tea shoots.Interestingly,the expression of CsmiR397a was inhibited during tenderness reduction and gray blight infection of young tea shoots.Overexpression of CsmiR397a reduced lignin accumulation,resulting in decreased resistance to gray blight and increased stem tenderness in transgenic Arabidopsis.Furthermore,the transient overexpression of CsmiR397a and CsLAC17 in tea leaves directly confirms the function of the CsmiR397a-CsLAC17 module in lignin biosynthesis and its effect on disease resistance.These results suggest that the CsmiR397a-CsLAC17 module is involved in balancing tenderness and gray blight resistance in young tea shoots by regulating lignin biosynthesis.
