Outline
FRK1 is a marker gene downstream of the innate immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana (At), and FRKI's expression implies the initiation of the PTI pathway. This experiment screened eight FRK1-like genes from the cassava local genomic database via the Blastp method. Bioinformatics analysis reveals that all the eight FRK1-like genes encode receptor-like protein kinases with amino acid lengths between 804-921 aa and an average protein sequence length of 863 aa. The eight genes were found unevenly distributed on cassava chromosomes, mainly on chromosomes 11 and 4. The analysis of the gene structures showed that the eight genes could be classified into two groups, which in agreement with the results of the evolutionary tree analysis. Based on the location of the conserved motifs and the length of amino acid residues, it was found that MeFRK1, MeFRK4 and MeFRK5 shared three conserved motifs with AtFRK1, and the length of the conserved motifs was between 50 and 250 aa. By comparing with AtFRK1 and factoring in the results of protein motifs, chromosome positioning and evolutionary relationships, MeFRK1 was identified as a marker gene downstream of the innate immunity in the cassava genome. The experiment was conducted on cassava SC8 group-cultured seedlings, and the expression of MeFRK1 gene in leaves was measured by fluorescence quantitative PCR after treatment with the hormones SA, JA and the pathogenic bacteria Xam, respectively. The experiment unveiled that the expression of MeFRK1 gene after the treatment of hormones SA, JA and Xam all demonstrated an increasing trend followed by a decreasing one. After the treatment of the hormone SA and JA, the expression of MeFRK1 gene both peaked at 15 min, with the expression under SA treatment slightly higher than that of JA. While after the treatment of Xam, the expression peaked at 4 d at which time the expression was significantly higher than that of SA and JA treatments, 2.84 times that of the SA treatment and 3.06 times that of the JA treatment. It is evident that MeFRK1 has a positive regulatory effect in response to SA and JA signaling pathways for a short period of time, and the response is relatively rapid. Pathogenic Xam could better induce the expression of MeFRKI gene, thus improving the resistance of cassava to pathogenic bacteria Xam. The results may lay the foundation for further establishment of a molecular system for cassava disease resistance.
