摘要： Mikania micrantha (“mile-a-minute” weed) is a global invasive alien weed that can cause severe damage to agroforestry ecosystems and significant agricultural losses worldwide. Although chemical, manual, or mechanical control methods are widely used to control M. micrantha, RNA interference (RNAi)-based biocontrol methods have rarely been reported for this species. The MONOPTEROS (MP) gene, encoding an auxin response factor, plays an essential role in embryonic root initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana. In this study, we identified the MP gene from M. micrantha via orthologous gene analysis. A total of 37 MP orthologous genes was identified in 4 plants, including 9 MP candidate genes in M. micrantha, 13 in Helianthus annuus, 6 in Chrysanthemum nankingense, and 9 in Lactuca sativa. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that an MP candidate gene in M. micrantha (Mm01G000655, named MmMP) was clustered into one clade with the MP gene in A. thaliana (AtMP). In addition, both MmMP and AtMP contain a B3-DNA binding domain that is shared by transcription factors that regulate plant embryogenesis. To study gene function, dsRNA against MmMP (dsMmMP) was applied to the roots of M. micrantha. Compared with those of the controls, the expression of MmMP was reduced by 43.3%, 22.1%, and 26.2% on the first, third, and fifth days after dsMmMP treatment, respectively. The dsMmMP-treated plants presented several morphological defects, mostly in the roots. Compared with water-treated plants, the dsMmMP-treated plants presented reduced developmental parameters, including root length, number of adventitious roots, root fresh and dry weights, plant height, and aboveground biomass. Additionally, safety assessment suggested that this dsMmMP treatment did not silence MP genes from non-target plants, including rice and tomato; nor did it inhibit root growth in those species. Collectively, these results suggest that MmMP plays an important role in root development in M. micrantha and provides a potential target for the development of species-specific RNAi-based herbicides.
