摘要: Penicillium digitatum is a pathogenic fungus responsible for the postharvest green mold of citrus, leading to significant economic losses in the citrus industry. Filamentous fungi have a rich secondary metabolic network, and their products have important applications in medicine. Several secondary metabolites (tryptoquialanines, fumiquinazolines, and so on) have been identified in P. digitatum. However, the molecular networks regulating the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and their gene functions remain to be investigated. For functional analysis of the genes, a homologous recombination knockout strategy was used to generate knockout mutants of seven genes putative to be involved in the fumiquinazoline (FQ) biosynthesis pathway in Penicillum digitatum. LC- MS analysis revealed that the FQ biosynthetic gene clusters mainly regulated tryptoquialanine biosynthesis in P. digitatum. Virulence assessment experiments with knockout mutants displayed that compared with that in the wild type, the onset of green mold was delayed in all the citrus groups inoculated with the seven mutants, revealing that the involvement of the FQ biosynthetic gene clusters positively regulates the virulence of P. digitatum. Furthermore, the survival of the knockout mutants was greatly decreased under ultraviolet (UV-C) radiation, indicating that this gene cluster participated in the UV-C sensitivity of P. digitatum. The present study also revealed that genes in FQ biosynthetic gene clusters regulate low-temperature stress resistance and KCl stress resistance. In summary, this study determined that the FQ biosynthetic gene clusters regulate the biosynthesis of SMs and respond to multiple biological processes in P. digitatum.
