Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of agricultural biotechnology, and in particular to application of a LasSDE4425 gene of Bacillus subtilis asiaticus in doubling plant chromosomes. Background Art

[0002] Plant polyploid breeding refers to the selection of new plant varieties or new germplasm through chromosome / genome doubling. Compared with diploid plants, polyploid plants usually show morphological characteristics such as tall plants, strong growth, lush roots and thick stems, large and thick leaves, and enlarged floral organs, fruits, and seeds. In addition, polyploid plants contain significantly more organic substances such as fats, sugars, proteins, as well as vitamins and minerals than diploid varieties, and their ability to resist diseases and adverse environments (drought, high temperature, cold) is significantly enhanced. Therefore, the cultivation of polyploid plants helps to improve the yield, stress resistance, and nutritional quality of crops and cash crops, and has attracted widespread attention from countries around the world.

[0003] Natural doubling and artificial induction are currently the commonly used methods for plant polyploid breeding, but the probability of chromosome doubling in the former is extremely low. Artificial induction is divided into physical induction methods such as high temperature treatment, low temperature treatment, and radiation mutagenesis, chemical induction methods such as colchicine, oryzalin, trifluralin, and biological methods such as sexual hybridization and cell fusion. To date, there is no method for "promoting plant chromosome doubling by expressing exogenous genes." Colchicine treatment is currently the most commonly used artificial induction method, but the mutation efficiency is still low, and there are problems such as high mosaicism rate, time-consuming and labor-intensive screening and identification processes, which limit the development and application of plant polyploid breeding. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new polyploidy induction methods or technologies to overcome the above difficulties, so as to quickly and efficiently create excellent plant polyploid varieties and germplasm resources, and promote the leapfrog development of agriculture, animal husbandry, and forestry.

[0004] The LasSDE4425 gene from Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus is 309 base pairs long, encoding 102 amino acids and annotated as a hypothetical protein. According to existing databases, LasSDE4425 and its homologous genes have not been found in other species. Literature reports indicate that LasSDE4425 can stimulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and cell death in plants, interfere with the yeast cell cycle, and inhibit cell division in yeast and tobacco. To date, there have been no reports of LasSDE4425 expression leading to chromosome doubling in plants. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide an application of the LasSDE4425 gene of Bacillus subtilis asiaticus for doubling plant chromosomes.

[0006] The amino acid sequence of the Bacillus spp. asiaticus LasSDE4425 gene is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. MRRFPTYGSEERIATCAKPGYSSRLAQLCAENEKRLKEFDKITRELNTLSENEKKA FFEHEKKVTSNLNYNARDRKHNINQFYEARGKYRYGNGYYRNYRSQ

[0008] Given the high conservation of plant cell cycle regulation mechanisms, combined with the present invention, transgenic expression of LasSDE4425 can trigger chromosome doubling in one tetraploid plant (common tobacco) and seven diploid plants (tomato, soybean, rapeseed, corn, rice, cucumber, and rubber grass). The recipient plants involved six families and eight genera, namely Solanaceae, Leguminosae, Cruciferae, Poaceae, Cucurbitaceae, and Asteraceae. Therefore, it is inferred that LasSDE4425 can be widely used for chromosome doubling and polyploid germplasm resource creation in higher plants.

[0009] The cell cycle is a complex and delicate basic life process. Plants use a precise and conserved molecular network composed of cell cycle proteins, cyclin-dependent kinases, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, cell cycle checkpoint kinases, etc. to accurately regulate the sequential transition of cells from the four phases of G1, S, G2, and M. The present invention confirms that the expression of the Asian species LasSDE4425 gene of Bacillus subtilis promotes plant chromosome doubling. According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, flow cytometric analysis showed that the chromosome ploidy of common tobacco, tomato, soybean, rapeseed, corn, rice, cucumber, and rubber grass expressing LasSDE4425 increased to 2 times that of wild-type plants. This shows that LasSDE4425 can widely promote chromosome doubling in plants of different families and genera, which is speculated to be related to its function of interfering with the cell cycle.

[0020] Cut the young leaves of sterile common tobacco K326 into 1-1.5cm 2 Immerse the leaf discs in the prepared Agrobacterium solution for 5 minutes. Remove the leaf discs, drain off excess bacterial solution, and place them on co-cultivation medium plates (4.43 g / L MS, 30 g / L sucrose, 1 mg / L 6-BA, 4 g / L Agar, pH 5.8) for 2 days in the dark at 25°C. Transfer the leaf discs to differentiation medium (4.43 g / L MS, 30 g / L sucrose, 1 mg / L 6-BA, 0.1 mg / L α-NAA, 50 mg / L Kan, pH 5.8) and incubate at 25°C in the light for 3-4 weeks. Once differentiated shoots reach ~3-5 cm in length, transfer them to rooting medium (4.43 g / L MS, 30 g / L sucrose, 50 mg / L Kan, pH 5.8). After 3-4 weeks, regenerated plants will fully root. Harden them for 2-3 days, transplant them to nutrient soil, and continue incubation in a greenhouse (25°C, 16 h light / 8 h dark). RNA was extracted from leaves and RT-PCR was performed to confirm the transcriptional expression of LasSDE4425 in transgenic plants.

[0021] 0.1 g of mature leaves were collected from wild-type (wt) tobacco and transgenic plants expressing LasSDE4425 (4425-Nt). 2 mL of cell lysis buffer (0.1764 g sodium citrate, 0.3506 g sodium chloride, 100 μL Tween-20, pH 7.0, and water was added to 40 mL) and finely minced with a sharp blade. The filtrate was filtered through an 80 μm pore size filter, collected, and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded, and the pelleted nuclei were collected. Propidium iodide (PI) staining solution (400 μg PI, 0.1764 g sodium citrate, 0.3506 g sodium chloride, pH 7.0, and water was added to 40 mL) was added and stained in the dark for 20 minutes to fluorescently label nuclear DNA. 4425-Nt nuclei were analyzed by flow cytometry using wt nuclei as a control.

The explants were transferred to a co-culture medium (4.44 g / L MS, 1 mg / L 6-BA, 200 μM AS) and cultured in the dark at 25°C for 2-3 days. The explants were rinsed 3-5 times with sterile water and transferred to a screening medium (4.44 g / L MS, 1 mg / L 6-BA, 0.1 mg / L NAA, 50 mg / L Kan, 300 mg / LCTX) and cultured at 25°C with alternating light and dark (16 h light / 8 h dark). The culture medium was changed every 10 days. The screening was continued for 4-6 weeks, and the surviving calli were transferred to a regeneration medium (4.44 g / L MS, 2 mg / L TDZ, 0.05mg / L NAA, 50mg / L Kan, 300mg / L CTX) were used to induce bud differentiation; 2-3cm regenerated buds were cut and inserted into rooting medium (2.22g / L MS + 0.2mg / L IBA) and cultured until the root system was fully developed; seedlings were hardened for 3-5 days, transplanted to sterilized nutrient soil, moisturized for 1 week, and then transferred to normal greenhouse conditions.

[0048] 0.1 g of mature leaves were collected from wild-type (wt) cucumbers and transgenic cucumbers expressing LasSDE4425 (4425-Cs), 2 mL of cell lysis solution (0.1764 g of sodium citrate, 0.3506 g of sodium chloride, 100 μL of Tween-20, pH 7.0, and water was added to 40 mL), and chopped with a sharp blade. Filter with an 80 μm pore size filter membrane, collect the filtrate, centrifuge at 4°C, 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and collect the precipitated cell nuclei. Add propidium iodide staining solution, place in the dark for staining for 20 minutes, and fluorescently label the nuclear DNA. Using the wt cell nucleus as a control, the cell nucleus of 4425-Cs was analyzed by flow cytometry, and its ploidy was identified based on the fluorescence intensity of the control sample. The results showed that the chromosome ploidy of 4425-Cs was twice that of wt, and the chromosomes were doubled ( Figure 7 ).
