Abstract:
Mi gene was cloned from tomato with PCR amplification and 16D10 gene was cloned from root knot nematode in Citus reticulate with reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR) amplification. The Mi gene over-expression vector (named pB-Mi) and 16D10 gene RNAi vector (named pB-16DR) were constructed with DNA molecular recombination technology. Putative transgenic plantlets, which were confirmed by PCR analysis, were obtained through genetic transformation mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The results can provide material and technical basis for exploring the effect of the over-expression of Mi gene and RNA interference of 16D10 gene on the resistance of Citrus root knot nematode disease.
