Embodiment 1

[0030] Based on the existing public DNA sequence and the inventor's previous research on the Arabidopsis DCP2 gene, the inventor designed specific primers, cloned and obtained the DCP2 promoter by PCR method, and sequenced it. This example briefly introduces the PCR process of the pollen-specifically expressed promoter DCP2 as follows.

[0031] (1) Extract Arabidopsis genomic DNA

[0032] Refer to the instructions of the plant DNA isolation kit to extract wild-type Arabidopsis genomic DNA; the extracted genomic DNA is subpackaged and stored at -20°C for future use.

[0033] (2) Design specific amplification primers and perform PCR amplification

[0034] To facilitate directional cloning, AgeI and SpeI restriction endonuclease sites were added to the 5' ends of the primers respectively, and the specific primer sequences were designed as follows:

[0035] DCP2-F: 5'-AACCGGTCTTGGAACAATTTGGCTC-3',

[0036] DCP2-R: 5'-AACTAGTAGTTCTTGCCTTTAAAACCCT-3';

[0037] Using the Arabidop...

[0049] (1) Connect the DCP2 promoter to the pMD18-T vector

[0050]Referring to the instructions of the 2X ligation kit, ligate the specific amplification product of about 1300 bp recovered in Example 1 to the pMD18-T vector, and the 10 μL ligation system is designed as follows:

[0051] Ligation Mix, 5 μL;

[0052] pMD18-T, 1 μL;

[0053] 2.5 μL (about 200 ng) of the recovered PCR product in step (1);

[0054] wxya 2 O, 1.5 μL;

[0055] Ligation overnight at 16°C.

[0056] (2) Transform and screen

[0057] Take 5 μL of the ligation product in step (1), transform Escherichia coli competent cells by heat shock, spread on solid LB medium containing ampicillin (50 mg / L) for recombinant screening, and pick positive clon...

Embodiment 3

[0068] Using the recombinant plasmid pDCP2-GUS constructed in Example 2, plants can be further transformed and used to construct transgenic plants. This example briefly introduces the relevant experiments as follows.

[0069] (1) Transform Agrobacterium and prepare transfection solution

[0070] Take 100 μL of Agrobacterium GV3101 competent cells, add 1 μL of the pDCP2-GUS plasmid prepared in Example 2, and transform using liquid nitrogen freeze-thaw method;

[0071] After transformation, culture at 28°C on YEB culture plates containing kanamycin, rifampin and streptomycin (50mg / L, 25mg / L and 50mg / L respectively), pick positive clones, and perform PCR verification , PCR verification primers were designed as follows:

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of gene engineering, and particularly relates to a DCP2 promoter for specific expression in pollen of a flowering plant. The promoter contains 1336 bp, and the specific base sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO.1.The promoter is used for specifically expressing a target gene in a pollen grain or expressing a gene for regulating pollen production and survival capability to result in male sterility. An Arabidopsis thaliana flowering stage pollen specific expression vector pDCP2-GUS can be constructed by using the promoter. According to the invention, through the separation and function identification of the promoter DCP2, a new way can be provided for specific expression of a related target gene in pollen or control of pollen fertility, and a foundation is laid for research of the related gene and crop cultivation. Thus, the promoter is of great theory and application significance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and in particular relates to a DCP2 promoter specifically expressed by flowering plant pollen. Background technique [0002] In the study of gene structure and function, the regulation of transcription level is a key step, and the initiation of gene transcription is the result of the joint action of a series of trans-acting factors and transcription sites. A gene encoding a protein contains a promoter and a coding region. The promoter is generally located upstream of the coding region and is the binding site for trans-acting factors. [0003] Promoters can be divided into three categories according to their expression mode: constitutive promoters, inducible promoters and tissue-specific promoters. Constitutive promoters can promote gene expression in various developmental stages of organisms and in all tissues, with spatiotemporal specificity and constant expression. Inducible promo...
