| description | Avr-Pik gene found in Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the specific effector protein that
interact with host resistance (R) gene that result in effective activation of innate immunity.
M. oryzae is an ascomycete fungal pathogen that has been found infecting cultivated rice
(Oryzae sativa) and become the major constraint in rice global production. The aim of this
research is to isolate, clone and sequence Avr-Pik gene from M. oryzae originated from
Sarawak. Prior to isolation and cloning, a set of primer consist of forward primer (5'-
ATGCGTGTTACCACTTTTAACA-3') and reverse primer (5'-
TTAAAAGCCGGGCCTTTT-3') was designed based on Avr-Pik sequences obtained from
database. Gradient Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed to optimize the
annealing temperature. DNA fragments of -342 bp were obtained from the amplification
and were purified. Blue and white screening was conducted to grow colonies and
distinguish between the recombinant and non-recombinant colonies. Subsequently, plasmid
miniprep was conducted to obtain plasmid and it was sent for sequencing. The sequencing
result was corroborated by using BLAST in which showed highest similarity with
M. oryzae isolates from Japan. Based on this study, future identification and sequence
analysis of this gene in understanding gene-for-gene resistance can be carried out, hence
establishing Moryzae as the fungal model to study fungal pathogenicity. |
