Embodiment 1

[0047] Example 1: Analysis of YFT1 / YFT1 allele promoter activity

[0048] To dissect 2 events of genetic damage leading to downregulated expression of the YFT1 allele gene in yft1 - IF 573 (Sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2) The biological role played by insertion and Del 13 deletion, the promoter pYFT1 of YFT1 and the promoter pyft1 of YFT1 allele of yft1 were respectively cloned from cv.M82 / yft1 by PCR technology, A series of promoter mutation vectors were constructed in order to analyze and clarify the impact of two mutation events on the down-regulated expression of YFT1 allele. The specific steps are as follows:

[0049] 1. Construction of detection promoter activity vector

[0050] Based on the upstream sequence of the YFT1 gene, primers [pYFT1-F: 5'-gatgttatcggggaggaagaaac-3' (SEQ ID NO: 13), pYFT1-R: 5'-tatttgatttaaatggttagcaagc-3' (SEQ ID NO: 14)] were designed and synthesized to amplify The upstream promoter sequence of YFT1 gene in cv.M82 and mutant yft1 was added,...

[0056] Example 2: Analysis of YFT1 allele genetic damage in mutant yft1

[0057] The significant down-regulation of the expression level of the yft1 tomato mutant YFT1 allele is due to the genetic damage of the gene, which occurred at -318bp upstream of the start codon (ATG): 1) a 573bp DNA fragment (sequence such as Shown in SEQ ID NO: 2) insertion and 2) a 13bp DNA sequence deletion (Del 13) caused by two mutation events, and in Gao L, Zhao W, Qu H, Wang Q and Zhao L.The yellow-fruited tomato 1 (yft1)mutanthas altered fruit carotenoid accumulation and reduced ethylene production asa result of a genetic lesion in ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE2. Theoretical and AppliedGenetics, 2016, 129:717-728 elaborated, while YFT1 allele genetic lesion in IF 573 and Del 13's role is not revealed; meanwhile, the IF 573 The source is also lack of experimental evidence, whether the yellow fruit phenotype of yft1 mutant tomato is caused by insertion in the regulatory region of YFT1 allele gene, or d...

Abstract

The invention discloses a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) insertion fragment for down-regulating tomato YFT1 allele expression and application of the DNA insertion fragment in tomato quality improvement.A solid genetic evidence is provided for functional confirmation of the YFT1 in the tomato fruit color forming process through a functional complementation genetic transformation experiment. Promoteractivity research further confirms that the driving capability of the YFT1 gene promoter is obviously reduced; the YFT1 regulatory region (promoter) contains two negative regulatory regions (-272bp to-173bp and -172 to -73bp), and is only related to insertion of a 573bp DNA fragment, and further revealed from the molecular level that insertion of the 573bp DNA fragment of the YFT1 regulatory region (promoter) causes significant down-regulation expression of the gene; at the same time, the insertion event also causes the YFT1 allele to generate variable splicing at yft1 and the uORF in the 5 'UTR region to be broken.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of molecular biology and genetics, and relates to the transcription regulation and application of a core component gene YFT1 that affects the formation of tomato fruit color and the ethylene signal pathway, and particularly relates to a DNA insertion fragment that down-regulates the expression of tomato YFT1 allele and its effect on tomato quality. Improved application. Background technique [0002] Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum, 2n=24) belongs to the Lycopersicon plant of Solanaceae (Solanaceae), and is the second largest vegetable crop in the world. Tomato is an important model plant for the study of berries and related fields of Solanaceae. Fruit color is an important appearance quality trait of tomato. The color formation of red fruit, yellow fruit and red-yellow fruit in the mainstream market is related to the amount of carotenoids accumulated in the fruit, especially the ratio of lycopene and β-carotene...
