BbCrpa confers the resistance of Beauveria bassiana and Verticillium dahliae to CsA.

(A) Schematic diagram of T-DNA insertion in mu1 and mu2. The two T-DNA insertions took place in same gene at different regions: in mu1, the insertion site located in the coding region (3104 bp); in mu2, the site was in the promoter region (–420 bp). The gene codes for a putative phospholipid-translocating P-type ATPase (P4-ATPase), named BbCrpa (cyclosporine resistance P4-ATPase) that has a 4080 bp ORF and an intron (73 bp) near its 3′ end. (B and C) Disruption of BbCRPA makes B. bassiana sensitive to CsA. The wild-type, mu1, BbCRPA gene-knockout (ΔBbCRPA), and complemented (ΔBbCRPA::BbCRPA) strains were grown on CZP +CsA (20 μg/ml). (D) Ectopic expression of BbCRPA in V. dahliae increases the resistance of CsA. Wild-type V. dahliae (V991) and V1 (expressing BbCRPA in V. dahliae V991) were grown on PDA and PDA +CsA (0.5 μg/ml, 1 μg/ml, and 2 μg/ml). For CsA sensitivity analysis, plates were spot inoculated with 3 μl conidial suspensions (1×107 conidia/ml) and incubated at 26℃ for about 10 days. The variation in growth rates was shown as [colony diameter CZP supplemented with CsA]/[colony diameter CZP]. All experiments were performed in triplicate (n = 3). Data are represented as the mean ± SD. ****p<0.0001 from Student′s t-test. NS, not significant. Scale bars, 1 cm for (B and D).

All experiments were performed in triplicate (n = 3) on CZP medium. Data are represented as the mean ± SD. (I) Loss of BbCRPA has no significant effect on the conidial yield of B.bassiana.

NS, not significant. (J) Knock out BbCRPA reduces the virulence of B.bassiana. Survival of Galleria mellonella larvae treated with suspensions (2×107 conidia/ml in 0.05% tween-80) derived from the wild-type, BbCRPA disruption mutant. Control was treated with tween-80 alone.

Strong fluorescein-labeled CIA (CIA-FITC) signal was observed in vacuoles of transgenic Arabidopsis cells (35 S::BbCRPA), while only very weak signal was observed in the vacuoles of wild-type Arabidopsis cells (arrows) (H). Vacuoles (arrows) were indicated by FM4-64 and plants were treated with 5 μg/ml CIA-FITC. The comparison of fluorescent intensity in vacuoles between the wild-type and 35 S::BbCRPA transgenic Arabidopsis was measured by ImageJ (I).Data are represented as the mean ± SD. Scale bars, 10 μm. The resistance of plants to V. dahliae was estimated by disease index. Data are represented as the mean ± SD for three independent experiments with at least 11 plants per replication. ***p<0.001; ****p<0.0001 from Student′s t-test.

Verticillium disease index and fluorescent intensity of CIA-FITC in vacuoles.

The disease index of T3 transgenic Arabidopsis and the wild-type plants to V. dahliae was evaluated 21 days after inoculation. The disease index of T2 transgenic cotton to V. dahliae was evaluated 14 days after inoculation. DI = [∑(disease grades ×number of infected plants)/(total checked plants ×4)]×100. Data are represented as the mean ± SD. ***p<0.001; ****p<0.0001 from Student′s t-test. File for the primary data corresponding to Figure 5C, G and I.

Validation of transgenic BbCRPA plants.

(A and C) PCR validation of BbCRPA transcription in transgenic Arabidopsis (A) and cotton (C). M, DNA Marker DL2000. (B and D) Transcriptional level detection of BbCRPA in transgenic Arabidopsis (B) and cotton (D) plants by qRT-PCR. All experiments were performed in triplicate (n = 3). Data are represented as the mean ± SD. (E) Southern blot validation of BbCRPA insertions in transgenic Arabidopsis and cotton. Genomic DNA was digested with HindIII and then hybridized with a 912 bp DNA probe produced via PCR from BbCRPA. Southern blot results indicate 35 S::BbCRPA was inserted into the chromosome of Arabidopsis and cotton. M, DNA Molecular Weight Marker; plasmid, positive control fragment from modified pCAMBIA2300 (PLGN). (F) Flanking sequencing indicated that in transgenic cotton line 35 S::BbCRPA-B1, transgene (35 S::BbCRPA-35S::NTPII::GUS) was inserted in the A subgenome of 11 chromosome at 120298690. Growth of transgenic Arabidopsis at MS supplemented with or without Kana (50 μg/ml). (G and H) Exogenous overexpression of BbCRPA increases the resistance of Arabidopsis and cotton to V. dahliae race L2-1. (I and J) Exogenous overexpression of BbCRPA increased the resistance of Arabidopsis and cotton to F. oxysporum. For disease index analysis, T3 transgenic Arabidopsis and T2 transgenic cotton plants were challenged by V. dahliae race L2-1 and F. oxysporum were evaluated. Data are represented as the mean ± SD for three independent experiments with at least 14 plants per replication. ***p<0.001; ****p<0.0001 from Student′s t-test.
