In this study, the Mgra16281 gene (ID: ) enco ding an effector with the unknown function was cloned from the rice ro ot-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola isolated in Long An province. To knock-down the expression of this gene, an artificial microRNA was synthesized based on the Osa-MIR528 precursor and inserted into an expression vector. | 36 Trường Đại học Nông Lâm TP.

Nguyen Department of Biotechnology Nong Lam University Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Research Paper Effectors play key roles in the parasitism of the plant-parasitic nematode. Silencing the effector-coding genes was applied to study the Received April 01 2020 function and role of nematode effectors. In this study the Mgra16281 Revised May 28 2020 gene ID encoding an effector with the unknown Accepted July 01 2020 function was cloned from the rice root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola isolated in Long An province. To knock-down the ex- Keywords pression of this gene an artificial microRNA was synthesized based on the Osa-MIR528 precursor and inserted into an expression vector.
