Problems solved by technology

Although the proportion of microRNA in the total RNA of cells is very small, because it can efficiently regulate all mRNAs with target sites, the role of microRNA in crop quality improvement cannot be underestimated.

Embodiment 1

[0082] Brp-miR319a2 alters Chinese cabbage leaf ball shape

[0083] In the course of long-term research, the present inventors discovered a specific variety of Chinese cabbage whose leaf bulbs are approximately round.

[0084] Through the genome resequencing and RNA sequencing of Chinese cabbage varieties, the inventors discovered a miR319a family member with a point mutation in the genome sequence of head cabbage (Bre), and the new member was named Brp-MIR319a2 (abbreviated as Brp-MIR319a2). "miR319a2"), the sequence of which is as SEQ ID NO.: 1 and figure 1 shown.

[0085] Compared with miR319a, the Brp-MIR319a2 gene has a G→A nucleotide point mutation ( figure 1 ), the mutation resulted in enhanced complementarity between miR319a2 and Chinese cabbage target genes (BrpTCPs) sequences, resulting in reduced BrpTCP gene expression levels (compared to Chinese cabbage expressing wild-type miR319a only).

[0086] The point mutation was discovered for the first time and has not ...

[0089] Mutations in the target gene BrpTCP also lead to similar changes in leaf ball shape

[0090] The leaf balls of headed cabbage can be divided into four types: round, oval, flat and cylindrical ( figure 2 A-2H). Heading cabbage (Bre) has a round leaf ball ( figure 2 I, 2J). Heading cabbage Bre (purchased from the Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences) and non-heading cabbage (Wu-11) (purchased from the Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences) were crossed, Self-pollination started from the first generation of hybridization and continued for 6 generations to obtain almost homozygous F6 generation recombinant inbred lines. In the observation of the shape of the leaf ball, it was found that among the lines of the F6 generation, a total of 58 lines could form a leaf ball, and the formed leaf ball had the above-mentioned...

[0094] Transfection of miR319a2 alters leaf bulb shape

[0095] In this example, the 834 bp genomic fragment of Brp-MIR219a2 (SEQ ID NO.: 3) was inserted into the pCAMBIA3301 vector (purchased from CAMBIA, Australia) and driven by the CaMV35S promoter.

[0096] Methods as below:

[0097] Using the Brp-MIR319a2 gene-specific primers, the primer sequences are as follows:

[0098] BrpMIR319a2-S: CCCAAGGAGTTTGCAACTACG (SEQ ID NO.: 4),

[0099] BreMIR319a2-A:GGTGACACGCCAGCTTGAA (SEQ ID NO.:5),

[0100] Using the genomic DNA of Bre cabbage (purchased from the Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology, Shanghai Institutes of Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences) extracted by conventional methods as the template, a fragment of 834 bp in length was amplified by PCR, and the 834 bp fragment was amplified by the restriction endonuclease BamHI and It was digested with SalI, constructed into the commercial pCAMBIA3301 vector, and driven by the cauliflower mosaic virus promot...

Abstract

The invention provides an application of miR319a2 in the adjustment of the head shape of cabbage leaf, and concretely provides a leaf head formation related gene BrpTCP and a microRNA-miR319a2 for regulating the gene. It is found that the miR319a2 can adjust the cell division of the cabbage leaf in order to regulate the head shape of the cabbage leaf by the inventors for the first time. The invention also provides a use of the miR319a2, or a miR319a2 antagonist or a miR319a2 stimulant, and a method for improving the kind of cabbage. The miR319a2 can be used to pertinently adjust the leaf head shape in order to improve the kind of cabbage and other crops, such as the miR319a2 is used to increase the leaf area and the leaf head size of the cabbage.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of crop genetics, in particular, the invention relates to the application of miR319a2 in regulating the shape of cabbage leaf balls. Background technique [0002] From the perspective of edible parts, vegetable varieties in agriculture can be divided into leafy vegetables, root vegetables and fruit vegetables. Among the leafy vegetables, leafy vegetables are an important part, among which the more common ones are head cabbage (Brassica rapa L.ssp.pekinensis), head cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.var.capitata L) and Head lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. capitata L.). Head cabbage (also known as Chinese cabbage) is a traditional vegetable crop in Asia [0003] As the storage organ of this kind of vegetables, the leaf bulb is its edible part, and has important agricultural value and commercial value. From the morphological point of view, the leaf bulb is a metamorphic organ, which is formed by the interlocking of whorled lea...
