Abstract
Necrosis caused by soybean mosaic virus (SMV) has not been specifically distinguished from susceptible symptoms. The molecular mechanism for the occurrence of necrosis is largely overlooked in soybean genetic research. Field evaluation reveals that SMV disease seriously influences soybean production as indicated by decreasing 22.4% ~ 77.0% and 8.8% ~ 17.0% of yield and quality production, respectively. To expand molecular mechanism behind necrotic reactions, transcriptomic data obtained from the asymptomatic, mosaic, and necrotic pools were assessed. Compared between asymptomatic and mosaic plants, 1689 and 1752 up- and down-regulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were specifically found in necrotic plants. Interestingly, the top five enriched pathways with up-regulated DEGs were highly related to the process of the stress response, whereas the top three enriched pathways with down-regulated DEGs were highly related to the process of photosynthesis, demonstrating that defense systems are extensively activated, while the photosynthesis systems were severely destroyed. Further, results of the phylogenetic tree based on gene expression pattern and an amino acid sequence and validation experiments discovered three PR1 genes, Glyma.15G062400, Glyma.15G062500, and Glyma.15G062700, which were especially expressed in necrotic leaves. Meanwhile, exogenous salicylic acid (SA) but not methyl jasmonate (MeJA) could induce the three PR1 gene expressions on healthy leaves. Contrastingly, exogenous SA obviously decreased the expression level of Glyma.15G062400, Glyma.15G062500, and concentration of SMV, but increased Glyma.15G062700 expression in necrotic leaves. These results showed that GmPR1 is associated with the development of SMV-induced necrotic symptoms in soybean. Glyma.15G062400, Glyma.15G062500, and Glyma.15G062700 is up-regulated in necrotic leaves at the transcriptional levels, which will greatly facilitate a better understanding of the mechanism behind necrosis caused by SMV disease.

Comparative evaluation of resistance to potato virus Y (PVY) in three different RNAi-based transgenic potato plants. Transgenic Res 2022; 31:313-323. [PMID: 35262867 DOI: 10.1007/s11248-022-00302-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2020] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) produced from template double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) can activate the immune system in transgenic plants by detecting virus transcripts to degrade. In the present study, an RNA interference (RNAi) gene silencing mechanism was used for the development of transgenic potato plants resistant to potato virus Y (PVY), the most harmful viral disease. Three RNAi gene constructs were designed based on the coat protein (CP) and the untranslated region parts of the PVY genome, being highly conserved among all strains of the PVY viruses. Transgenic potato plants were generated using Agrobacterium containing pCAMRNAiCP, pCAMRNAiUR, and pCAMRNAiCP-UR constructs. The transgene insertions were confirmed by molecular analysis containing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and southern blotting. The resistance of transgenic plants to PVY virus was determined using bioassay and evaluating the amount of viral RNA in plants by RT-PCR, dot blotting of PVY coating protein, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Bioassay analysis revealed that more than 67% of transgenic potato plants were resistant to PVY compared with the non-transgenic plants, which showed viral disease symptoms. No phenotypic abnormalities were observed in transgenic plants. Out of six lines in southern blot analysis, four lines had one copy of the transgene and two lines had two copies of the target genes. No correlation was detected between the copy number of the genes and the resistance level of the plant to PVY. Transgenic lines obtained from all three constructs indicated more or less similar levels of resistance against viral infection; however, CP-UR lines exhibited relatively high resistance followed by CP and UR expressing lines, respectively. Meanwhile, some lines showed a delay in symptoms 35 days after infection which were classified as susceptible.

Abstract
Soybean is one of the important food, feed, and biofuel crops in the world. Soybean genome modification by genetic transformation has been carried out for trait improvement for more than 4 decades. However, compared to other major crops such as rice, soybean is still recalcitrant to genetic transformation, and transgenic soybean production has been hampered by limitations such as low transformation efficiency and genotype specificity, and prolonged and tedious protocols. The primary goal in soybean transformation over the last decade is to achieve high efficiency and genotype flexibility. Soybean transformation has been improved by modifying tissue culture conditions such as selection of explant types, adjustment of culture medium components and choice of selection reagents, as well as better understanding the transformation mechanisms of specific approaches such as Agrobacterium infection. Transgenesis-based breeding of soybean varieties with new traits is now possible by development of improved protocols. In this review, we summarize the developments in soybean genetic transformation to date, especially focusing on the progress made using Agrobacterium-mediated methods and biolistic methods over the past decade. We also discuss current challenges and future directions.
