Development of plants resistant to tomato geminiviruses using artificial trans-acting small interfering RNA.

Abstract:

:RNA interference (RNAi), a conserved RNA-mediated gene regulatory mechanism in eukaryotes, plays an important role in plant growth and development, and as an antiviral defence system in plants. As a counter-strategy, plant viruses encode RNAi suppressors to suppress the RNAi pathways and consequently down-regulate plant defence. In geminiviruses, the proteins AC2, AC4 and AV2 are known to act as RNAi suppressors. In this study, we have designed a gene silencing vector using the features of trans-acting small interfering RNA (tasiRNA), which is simple and can be used to target multiple genes at a time employing a single-step cloning procedure. This vector was used to target two RNAi suppressor proteins (AC2 and AC4) of the geminivirus, Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV). The vector containing fragments of ToLCNDV AC2 and AC4 genes, on agro-infiltration, produced copious quantities of AC2 and AC4 specific siRNA in both tobacco and tomato plants. On challenge inoculation of the agro-infiltrated plants with ToLCNDV, most plants showed an absence of symptoms and low accumulation of viral DNA. Transgenic tobacco plants were raised using the AC2 and AC4 tasiRNA-generating constructs, and T1 plants, obtained from the primary transgenic plants, were tested for resistance separately against ToLCNDV and Tomato leaf curl Gujarat virus. Most plants showed an absence of symptoms and low accumulation of the corresponding viruses, the resistance being generally proportional to the amounts of siRNA produced against AC2 and AC4 genes. This is the first report of the use of artificial tasiRNA to generate resistance against an important plant virus.
