Abstract   A fragment of ubiquitin fusion degradation protein (UFD) gene UFD1 was cloned from tomato
by reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) , and its role in regulation of plant disease
and stress resistance was analyzed employing virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) technique . The results
showed that the silencing of UFD1 in N icotiana benthamiana resulted in significantly weakening of
hypersensitive response ( HR) mediated by C f‐4/ A v r4‐ and C f‐9/A v r9 and induced by X anthomonas
oryz ae pv . oryz ae (Xoo) , alleviating of necrotic symptoms of tobacco wild fire disease , decreasing of
chlorophyll content in leaves under stress of high concentration of salt , but did not lead to change of
symptoms of white mould disease caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and resistance to drought stress . It is indicated that UFD1 is a pivotal regulator of plant disease and stress resistance , playing roles in
positive regulation of C f‐4‐ and C f‐9‐dependent gene‐for‐gene resistance , nonhost resistance to Xoo and
salt tolerance , and in contrast , negative regulation of resistance to tobacco wild fire disease .

泛素融合降解蛋白基因UFD1对植物抗病和抗逆性的调控功能分析

采用反转录‐聚合酶链反应( reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction , RT‐PCR)克隆获得1
个番茄泛素融合降解蛋白(ubiquitin fusion degradation protein , UFD) 基因片段UFD1 ,并应用病毒诱导
的基因沉默(virus‐induced gene silencing , VIGS) 技术分析该基因对植物抗病性和抗逆性的调控功能.
结果表明:在本氏烟( N icotiana benthamiana)植株中UFD1 基因的沉默导致C f‐4/ A v r4 和C f‐9/ A v r9
介导的过敏性反应( hypersensitive response , HR) 以及水稻白叶枯病菌( X anthomonas oryz ae pv .
oryz ae , Xoo)诱导的HR 显著减弱,烟草野火病坏死症状明显减轻,在高盐胁迫下叶片叶绿素含量显著
降低,但对菌核病病害症状以及抗干旱能力的影响不明显.表明UFD1 基因是植物抗病和抗逆性的重
要调控因子,它可能对C f‐4/C f‐9 介导的基因对基因抗性、对Xoo 的非寄主抗性和耐盐性起正向调控
作用,而对烟草野火病抗性起负调控作用.
