Overexpression of CmWRKY8-1–VP64 Fusion Protein Reduces Resistance in Response to Fusarium oxysporum by Modulating the Salicylic Acid Signaling Pathway in Chrysanthemum morifolium
Chrysanthemum Fusarium wilt, caused by the pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum, severely reduces ornamental quality and yields. WRKY transcription factors are extensively involved in regulating disease resistance pathways in a variety of plants; however, it is unclear how members of this family reg...

description | Chrysanthemum Fusarium wilt, caused by the pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum, severely reduces ornamental quality and yields. WRKY transcription factors are extensively involved in regulating disease resistance pathways in a variety of plants; however, it is unclear how members of this family regulate the defense against Fusarium wilt in chrysanthemums. In this study, we characterized the WRKY family gene CmWRKY8-1 from the chrysanthemum cultivar ‘Jinba’, which is localized to the nucleus and has no transcriptional activity. We obtained CmWRKY8-1 transgenic chrysanthemum lines overexpressing the CmWRKY8-1-VP64 fusion protein that showed less resistance to F. oxysporum. Compared to Wild Type (WT) lines, CmWRKY8-1 transgenic lines had lower endogenous salicylic acid (SA) content and expressed levels of SA-related genes. RNA-Seq analysis of the WT and CmWRKY8-1-VP64 transgenic lines revealed some differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in the SA signaling pathway, such as PAL, AIM1, NPR1, and EDS1. Based on Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, the SA-associated pathways were enriched. Our results showed that CmWRKY8-1-VP64 transgenic lines reduced the resistance to F. oxysporum by regulating the expression of genes related to the SA signaling pathway. This study demonstrated the role of CmWRKY8-1 in response to F. oxysporum, which provides a basis for revealing the molecular regulatory mechanism of the WRKY response to F. oxysporum infestation in chrysanthemum. |
