Embodiment 1

[0060] Example 1. Identification and expression analysis of pab2-1 mutant, pab8-1 mutant and pab2-1pab8-1 double mutant

[0061] 1. Identification of pab2-1 mutant, pab8-1 mutant and pab2-1pab8-1 double mutant

[0062] according to figure 1 According to the combination of primers, the pab2-1pab8-1 double mutation homozygous plants were identified by PCR technique. In addition, homozygous plants of pab2-1 mutant and pab8-1 mutant were identified by the same method.

[0063] The primer sequences used are as follows:

[0064] pab2-1LP: 5'-ATTCGAAAGTGTCAAACACGC-3' (Leftprimer, LP)

[0065] pab2-1RP: 5'-TAATAAAAATGTTGCCAGCGC-3' (Rightprimer, RP)

[0066] pab8-1LP: 5'-ATCAACAACAGCTTGTACCGG-3' (Leftprimer, LP)

[0067] pab8-1RP: 5'-CAGTCTGTTTTCGGAAGCAAG-3' (Rightprimer, RP)

[0068] LBb1: 5'-GCGTGGACCGCTTGCTGCAACT-3' (Left border primer, LB)

Embodiment 2

[0092] Example 2, analysis test of pab2-1pab8-1 double mutant tolerance to NaCl

[0093] NaCl can inhibit the growth of plant seedlings. With the increase of exogenous NaCl concentration, the inhibition of Arabidopsis wild type (Col-0 ecotype) was enhanced, and the growth of its main root and leaves were affected to varying degrees. The experiment was repeated three times.

[0094] Arabidopsis wild type (Col-0 ecotype) and pab2-1pab8-1 double mutant plants were used as experimental materials. Seeds of each experimental material were sown on MS plates without NaCl, stratified at 4°C for 3 days, then placed in a light incubator for 72 hours, and then the newly germinated seedlings of each experimental material were transferred to MS plates containing different concentrations of NaCl. On the medium (0mM, 50mM, 100mM, 150mM and 200mM), observe the growth of Arabidopsis seedlings after vertical growth for 9 days and take pictures.

[0095] The result is as Figure 5 As shown, on...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving NaCl tolerance of plants by reducing PAB2 and PAB8. The method specifically provides any application of protein 1 and protein 2 which serve as targets as follows: a1) salt tolerance of the plants is improved; a2) plant varieties with salt tolerance improved are selected and bred, wherein the protein 1 is PAB2 protein, and the protein 2 is PAB8 protein. Research finds that NaCl tolerance of gene double knockout mutants of PAB2 and PAB8 obtained by an arabidopsis biological research center is enhanced. Accordingly, PAB2 and PAB8 can be used for adjusting the NaCl tolerance of the plants. Besides, genetically modified crops low in PAB2 and PAB8 expression and tolerant to salt can be obtained trough a genetic engineering means (RNAi technology). The method meets the requirement for sustainable agricultural development and has important practical value and market prospects in the aspects of research of plant NaCl tolerance molecular mechanism, improvement of genetic characteristics, culture of efficient salt-tolerant new varieties and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and relates to a method for improving plant tolerance to NaCl by down-regulating PAB2 and PAB8. Background technique [0002] As the world's population continues to grow, the human demand for food is increasing. Salt stress is one of the main factors affecting crop yield. Salt stress mainly causes damage to plants through sodium chloride as a stress. The high concentration of sodium ions in the soil will directly affect the photosynthesis, protein synthesis and energy metabolism of plants, etc., resulting in reduced plant germination rate, stunted growth, inhibited growth and differentiation of organs, slowed metabolism, etc., ultimately affecting crop yield. So far, the global agricultural land affected by salt stress is as high as 1 / 4 to 1 / 3. In addition, an assessment suggests that more than 10 million hectares of land have to be abandoned each year due to high salinization. [0003] Under the ...
