摘要： Alternaria blotch disease, caused by Alternaria alternata apple pathotype (AAAP), is one of the major fungal diseases in apple. Early field observations revealed, the anther-derived homozygote Hanfu line (HFTH1) was highly susceptible to AAAP, whereas Hanfu (HF) exhibited resistance to AAAP. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the difference in sensitivity of HF and HFTH1 to AAAP, we performed allele-specific expression (ASE) analysis and comparative transcriptomic analysis before and after AAAP inoculation. We reported an important immune gene, namely, MdFLS2, which displayed strong ASE in HF with much lower expression levels of HFTH1-derived alleles. Transient overexpression of the dominant allele of MdFLS2-1 from HF in GL-3 apple leaves could enhance resistance to AAAP and induce expression of genes related to salicylic acid pathway. In addition, MdFLS2-1 was identified with an insertion of an 85-bp terminal-repeat retrotransposon in miniature (TRIM) element-like sequence in the upstream region of the nonreference allele. In contrast, only one terminal direct repeat (TDR) from TRIM-like sequence was present in the upstream region of the HFTH1-derived allele MdFLS2-2. Furthermore, the results of luciferase and beta-glucuronidase reporter assays demonstrated that the intact TRIM-like sequence has enhancer activity. This suggested that insertion of the TRIM-like sequence regulates the expression level of the allele of MdFLS2, in turn, affecting the sensitivity of HF and HFTH1 to AAAP.
