Genetic screening of mutants and identification of their causative genes are effective strategies for understanding plant signaling pathways. Here, we present Lumi-Map, a method that combines real-time luciferase bioluminescence monitoring with MutMap analysis to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) responsible for the mutant phenotypes. Real-time monitoring of reporter gene expression enables high-throughput screen of mutants with altered transcriptional responses. Once candidate mutants are isolated, a whole-genome sequencing-based method MutMap allows for rapid identification of the causative SNPs. Using reporter lines driven by defense-related gene promoters, Lumi-Map successfully identified genes involved in pattern-triggered immunity, including a novel receptor gene for pathogen-associated molecular patterns. By selecting appropriate luciferase reporter plants, Lumi-Map is expected to serve as a versatile platform for dissecting diverse signal transduction pathways in plants.

摘要

Genetic screening of mutants and identification of their causative genes are effective strategies for understanding plant signaling pathways. Here, we present Lumi-Map, a method that combines real-time luciferase bioluminescence monitoring with MutMap analysis to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) responsible for the mutant phenotypes. Real-time monitoring of reporter gene expression enables high-throughput screen of mutants with altered transcriptional responses. Once candidate mutants are isolated, a whole-genome sequencing-based method MutMap allows for rapid identification of the causative SNPs. Using reporter lines driven by defense-related gene promoters, Lumi-Map successfully identified genes involved in pattern-triggered immunity, including a novel receptor gene for pathogen-associated molecular patterns. By selecting appropriate luciferase reporter plants, Lumi-Map is expected to serve as a versatile platform for dissecting diverse signal transduction pathways in plants.
