MicroRNAs Suppress NB Domain Genes in Tomato That Confer Resistance to


Fusarium oxysporum is a fungal pathogen that represents a species complex, with members that infect numerous crops. In spite of its importance to agriculture, very little is known about roles of small RNAs in plant immunity against F. oxysporum. In this study, we set up a screen for tomato microRNAs (miRNAs) that correlate with resistance to F. oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici by performing deep sequencing of small RNAs from a resistant and susceptible tomato cultivar. We focused on two miRNAs that are uniquely down-regulated in the resistant cultivar during fungal infection. All predicted targets of these miRNAs encode proteins with NB domains, a motif associated with pathogen resistance in plants. Using a heterologous system, we validated that the miRNAs could regulate expression of four targets. Silencing of the target genes in tomato resulted in decreased immunity to F. oxysporum in the normally resistant cultivar. The finding that none of our targets correspond to I-2, the only known resistance (R) gene for F. oxysporum in tomato, supports roles for additional R genes in the immune response. Our results suggest that the potential resistance of the susceptible cultivar is insufficiently expressed due to the action of miRNAs.
