摘要: Laccase is a glycoprotein oxidase containing four copper ions found in bacteria, fungi, insects and plants. In higher plants, laccase is mainly involved in the synthesis of lignin and the regulation of the content of phenolic substances in plants to enhance the plant's defense against diseases and pests. In this study, we constructed an overexpression vector harboring the Gossypium hirsutum LAC1 gene and introduced it into tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). The laccase activity, gray mold resistance and lignin level in transgenic tomato overexpressing GhLAC1 were analyzed using the wild-type as the control. The former had significantly higher laccase activity and gray-mold resistance levels compared with those of wild-type. Additionally, compared with the control plants, the lignin contents in the leaves and stems of the transgenic tomato were significantly higher. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the cross sections of wild-type and transgenic tomato stem segments and the cell wall near the xylem catheter of the latter was significantly thicker than that of the former and the outline was more distinct. Thus, the GhLAC1 gene significantly increased the lignin content in tomato, thickened the cell walls and strengthened physical defenses, thereby increasing tomato resistance to gray mold.
