摘要: Background Purple curl leaf disease brings a significant threat to the development of agave industry, the underlying mechanism of disease-resistant Agave sisalana. hybrid 11648 (A. H11648R) is still unknown.Results To excavate the crucial disease-resistant genes against purple curl leaf disease, we performed an RNA-seq analysis for A.H11648R and A.H11648 during different stages of purple curl leaf disease. The DEGs (differentially expressed genes) were mainly enriched in linolenic acid metabolism, starch and sucrose mechanism, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, hypersensitive response (HR) and systemic acquired resistance. Further analysis suggested that eight candidate genes (4'OMT2, ACLY, NCS1, GTE10, SMO2, FLS2, SQE1 and RCOM) identified by WGCNA (weighted gene co-expression network analysis) may mediate the resistance to agave purple curl disease by participating the biosynthesis of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, steroid, sterols and flavonoids, and the regulation of plant innate immunity and systemic acquired resistance. After qPCR verification, we found that AsRCOM, coding a glycosyltransferase and relevant to the regulation of plant innate immunity and systemic acquired resistance, may be the most critical disease-resistant gene. Finally, the overexpression of AsRCOM gene in agave could significantly enhance the resistance to purple curl disease with abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulations.Conclusions Integrative RNA-seq analysis found that HR may be an important pathway affecting the resistance to purple curl leaf disease in agave, and identified glycosyltransferase AsRCOM as the crucial gene that could significantly enhance the resistance to purple curl leaf disease in agave, with obvious ROS accumulations.
