The tomato Mi-1.2 gene confers resistance against both root-knot nematodes and the potato aphid. Plants are resistant to nematodes early in root development. However, plants as old as 4 weeks are susceptible to aphid infestation. We monitored Mi-1.2 expression at the transcriptional level in resistant (Mi/Mi) and susceptible (mi/mi) tomato cultivars by means of RT-PCR. Mi-1.2 transcripts accumulated in seeds, roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and green fruits of uninfected 10-week-old resistant plants but were not expressed in the same organs from similar-age susceptible plants. Mi-1.2 RNAs in roots and leaves can be detected very early in development, and levels of transcripts do not change after either root-knot nematode or aphid attack.
番茄Mi-1.2基因对根结线虫和马铃薯蚜虫均具有抗性。植株在根系发育早期对根结线虫具有抗性。然而,4周龄的植株易受蚜虫侵害。我们通过RT-PCR在抗性(Mi/Mi)和敏感(mi/mi)番茄品种中监测Mi-1.2基因在转录水平的表达。Mi-1.2转录本在未感染的10周龄抗性植株的种子、根、茎、叶、花和绿色果实中积累,但在同龄敏感植株的相同器官中不表达。根和叶中的Mi-1.2 RNA在发育早期就能检测到,并且在受到根结线虫或蚜虫攻击后,转录本水平不会发生变化。
