Embodiment 1

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and drawings, but the embodiments do not limit the protection scope of the present invention. Example 1: PpTPS2 gene cloning

[0019] (1) Experimental method

[0020] Taking the amino acid sequence of MdAFS-RG1 with α-Farnesene synthetic function in apple as the reference sequence, the Blastp algorithm was used to search for homologous sequences in the peach genome database Peach Genome V2.0. Design primer pairs SEQ: NO. 2 and SEQ: NO. 3, using peach cDNA as a template, PCR amplification to obtain the PpTPS2 sequence SEQ: NO. 1, and sequencing verification. The PCR reaction system is 50μl, and the components are: 0.5μl Taq enzyme (Roche), 5μl buffer (10×), 4μl dNTP (2.5mM), upstream and downstream primers (10μM, Invitrogen) each 2μl, 4μl cDNA, 32.5μl H 2 O. The RT-qPCR reaction program is 95°C for 5min; 95°C for 30s, 58°C for 30s, 72°C extension for 1.5min, 35 cycles; the last 72°C...

Embodiment 2

[0023] Example 2: PpTPS2 expression and α-Farnesene content

[0024] (1) Experimental method

[0025] 1. Peach fruit material

[0026] After the commercial maturity of peach fruit is picked, the leaves are selected from mature leaves with neat and normal leaf shapes, and the leaves and pulp tissue are frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored in a refrigerator at -80°C for later use. In order to further clarify the correlation between gene expression and substance content, fruits and leaf tissues were used as materials to carry out ultraviolet B (UV-B) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatments. Set up three biological replicates, each with 5 fruits, or 20 leaves.

[0027] 2. RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis

[0028] The total RNA of peach fruits and peach leaves was extracted by CTAB method. After removing genomic DNA contamination with TURBO DNase Kit (Ambion), 1.0 μg RNA was taken to synthesize cDNA according to the instructions of iScript cDNA Synthesis Kit (Bio-Rad). After the RNA test ...

Embodiment 3

[0032] Example 3: Subcellular localization

[0033] (1) Experimental method

[0034] 1. Vector construction

[0035] Combining the primer pair SEQ:NO.6 and SEQ:NO.7, using PCR technology to amplify to obtain PpTPS2, the PCR system and reaction procedure are the same as in Example 1. The PCR product and the target vector pCAMBIA super 1300-RGFP were digested with restriction enzymes BamHI and SalI and then respectively connected. Transform Escherichia coli, select the bacteria and send for testing and verification, then transform the plasmid confirmed by sequencing into the Agrobacterium strain GV3101::pSoup by electroporation.

[0036] 2. Tobacco leaf infection

[0037] The transformed Agrobacterium was coated on a plate, cultured at 28°C for 2 days, and then a single clone was selected and transferred to 5ml LB culture medium, kanamycin (50mg / L) and gentamicin (25mg / L) were added, and cultured to OD 600 After 0.8-1.0 centrifugation (4000g, 5min). Equal volume of penetrant (10mM MES...

Abstract

The invention provides a gene PpTPS2 from prunus persica. The gene PpTPS2 has a nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ:NO.1. A PpTPS2 complete sequence is obtained by PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplification; a b family of PpTPS2 clustered in TPS is obtained by phylogenetic tree analysis; a conserved domain of the PpTPS2 with the b family is obtained by sequence alignment. In vitro function verification in escherichia coli shows that PpTPS2 can form a sesquiterpene volatile substance alpha-Farnesene by using FPP (Farnesyl Bisphosphate) as a substrate catalyst. The PpTPS2 is over expressed in prunus persica fruits, so that accumulation of the content of the alpha-Farnesene in flesh tissues is remarkably promoted, the flavor of fruits can be improved, and the resistance to an adverse situation is improved; the gene PpTPS2 is an important candidate gene for developing genetic engineering and breeding improvement of the prunus persica fruits and can be applied to the genetic engineering; by means of the gene PpTPS2, the quality of the prunus persica fruits is improved and the resistance capability is improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of plant molecular biotechnology and genetic engineering, and relates to a gene involved in the biosynthesis of peach volatile terpenes and its application. Background technique [0002] Terpenes are widely found in plants. Volatile terpenes have unique odors and have important biological functions during plant growth and development. In recent years, there have been many studies on the terpene metabolism of spice crops such as peppermint and basil, but relatively few studies have been done on the mechanism of fruit terpene metabolism. [0003] As an important popular economic fruit, peach has a small genome and can be used as a model material for research on Rosaceae plants. The study of volatile substances of 50 peach varieties showed that terpenes differ greatly in peach fruits with different genetic backgrounds, indicating that volatile terpenes may play an important role in adapting to natural environments and artific...
