Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a gene ZmCPK28 , or an encoded protein thereof, and application thereof in regulating carbohydrate synthesis metabolism of crops. BACKGROUND

[0002] Calcium ion (Ca 2+ ) is a ubiquitous second messenger in plants, and is widely involved in regulating plant development and response to biological and non-biological stresses. In the Ca 2+ -mediated signal transduction process, the transmission of signals depends not only on the change of Ca 2+ concentration, but also on the synergistic action of multiple functional proteins, including calmodulin (CaM), calmodulin-like protein (CML), CBL-like B subunit protein (CBL), and calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK / CPK). Among them, CPK has dual functions of Ca 2+ sensor and effector, which can not only perceive Ca 2+ signals, but also directly convert signals into downstream phosphorylation reactions, so as to realize signal amplification and transduction. CPK is considered to be a multifunctional participant in regulating plant non-biological stress management, and CPKs exist in almost all parts of plants, indicating that these kinases have high potential in regulating various signal transduction pathways and have a significant impact on plant growth and development. As a calcium signal sensor, CPK is involved in responses to non-biological stresses such as drought, salinity, low temperature, and high temperature. For example, cotton GhCPK33 enhances salt tolerance by regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis. In addition, CPK is involved in processes such as pollen development, root growth, and fruit ripening in crops, for example, Medicago MtCPK1 regulates nodule formation, and banana MaCPK regulates fruit ripening. In Arabidopsis, AtCPK10 is involved in the regulation of abscisic acid and Ca 2+ of stomata under drought conditions, AtCPK23 plays an important role in plant response to drought and salt stress, and overexpression of AtCPK6 can enhance the salt and drought tolerance of plants.

[0003] At present, some CPK proteins in plants have been reported in aspects such as nutrition, adversity, and growth and development, but most of the researches are concentrated on Arabidopsis, and there are few reports about the synthesis of carbohydrates in maize under low nitrogen stress, and the mechanism is not very clear. Therefore, it is a technical problem to be solved in the field to mine key genes for regulating the synthesis of carbohydrates in plants, and to provide new gene resources for the creation of high-yield and high-quality maize.

[0028] Subsequently, 30 μL of the PCR product was used for 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, the target band was cut, and the gel was recovered using a Zhuangmeng Biological Gel Recovery Kit.

[0029] The T4 DNA Ligase used for ligation was purchased from the NEB company. The 10.0 μL ligation system included: T4 DNA ligase 1 μL, pCXUN-Vector1 DNA 0.4 μL (the pCXUN-Vector1 vector was provided by the Maize Functional Platform of China Agricultural University), insert DNA 8.0 μL, and T4 DNA Ligase 0.15 μL.

[0031] 3、 ZmCPK28 Identification of gene overexpression homozygous lines After the transformation was completed, a ZmCPK28Gene overexpression materials, two strains in total, respectively ZmCPK28 OE -1 and ZmCPK28 OE -2. The materials were germinated, and when they grew to three-leaf-one-heart stage, samples were taken, genomic DNA was extracted for PCR identification (corn genome was extracted by CTAB method, and the reagents were purchased from Beijing Solabio Science and Technology Co., Ltd. Reagent name: 2x CTAB extraction buffer; item number: LS00066, and the specific experimental method was referred to the instruction), and the gene expression in the transgenic plants was verified. ZmCPK28

[0032] Example 2: Phenotype identification The research objects were corn inbred line B73-329 (wild type), mutant materials zmcpk28 -1 and zmcpk28 -2, and overexpression materials ZmCPK28 OE -1 and ZmCPK28 OE -2.

[0033] Seeds of the same period, uniform size and full grains were selected, sterilized with 75% ethanol solution for 15 min, and washed with distilled water for 5 times. The seeds were evenly placed in sterilized glass culture dishes covered with filter paper, and were quantitatively sprayed with distilled water, and were placed in an incubator for germination. After the seeds were white, the seeds with basically consistent germination state were selected and transferred to soil culture pots with pre-absorbed water. The soil culture pots were prepared by crushing and sieving the nutrient soil, and then the soil was equally filled into 12 cm x 12 cm square pots, and the soil was compacted to be about 1 cm from the pot edge. These pots were placed in trays with a volume of 90 cm x 60 cm x 25 cm, respectively filled with clean water. After each pot of soil fully absorbed the same amount of clean water, the remaining solution was poured out. The seeds of wild type strain B73-329, mutant materials zmcpk28 -1 and zmcpk28 -2, and overexpression materials ZmCPK28 OE -1 and ZmCPK28 OE -2 were respectively sowed in the prepared flowerpots (mixed soil of vermiculite: sand = 3: 1), 2 corn seeds were sowed in each pot, and the endosperm side was kept upward. After germination in the artificial climate chamber, the seedlings were hardened to three-leaf-one-heart stage, and sufficient water was ensured during the period. Then the seedlings with consistent growth were grouped for high and low nitrogen treatment. The high nitrogen group (HN) contained 4 mM NO3 - in the high nitrogen nutrient solution, and the low nitrogen group (LN) contained 0.05 mM NO3 - in the low nitrogen nutrient solution. The specific composition is shown in Tables 1-3.

[0034] Table 1: Composition of mother liquor used

[0035] Table 2: Composition of high nitrogen group (HN) nutrient solution ​

[0036] Table 3 Nutrient solution composition of low nitrogen group (LN)

[0037] After the nutrient soil is filled with the nutrient solution, the excess nutrient solution is poured out, and the nutrient solution of the high and low nitrogen groups is applied 2.5 L each time and replaced every two days. The illumination culture is carried out in an environment with a humidity of 70%, and the illumination condition is set to illumination for 16 h (28°C) + darkness for 8 h (26°C). When the corn seedlings of the low nitrogen group (LN) are cultivated to show the nitrogen deficiency phenotype, photographs are taken immediately, and then the relevant physiological indexes are determined.

[0038] The results are shown in Figures 2-4 , wherein HN represents the high nitrogen treatment group, LN represents the low nitrogen treatment group, and L1-L4 represent the first leaf to the fourth leaf. The results show that the aboveground biomass of the wild type B73-329 (WT) is better than that of the mutant material zmcpk28 -1, zmcpk28 -2. Compared with the wild type material B73-329, the first leaf and the second leaf of the mutant material both show the phenotype of yellowing in advance, which indicates that the zmcpk28 mutant material is sensitive to low nitrogen stress. However, the wild type and the overexpression material ZmCPK28 OE -1, ZmCPK28 OE -2, the aboveground biomass has no obvious difference, but compared with the wild type material B73-329, the first leaf and the second leaf of the overexpression material show the phenotype of delaying yellowing, which indicates that the ZmCPK28 overexpression material is more resistant to low nitrogen stress.

[0039] Example 3 Changes in sucrose content in corn seedlings 1. The experimental steps for extracting soluble sugar in corn seedlings are as follows: 1) 0.25 g of powdered corn seedling leaves is weighed in a 2.0 mL centrifuge tube; 2) 1.5 mL of 80% v / v ethanol aqueous solution is added to each centrifuge tube, and the water bath is heated at 60°C for 10 min; 3) Centrifugation is performed at 6000 rpm for 5 min, and the supernatant is taken to a 10 mL centrifuge tube; 4) The steps 2) and 3) are repeated twice; 5) Centrifugation is performed at 12000 rpm for 5 min, and the supernatant is taken, i.e. the soluble sugar is obtained.

[0040] 2. The kit used for sucrose content determination is Megazyme SUCROSE, D-FRUCTOSE and D-GLUCOSE, and the experiment is carried out according to the instruction manual. The data results are shown in Figure 5 .

[0041] FromFigure 5 The analysis found that the wild type B73-329 sucrose content was 78.02 g / 100 g; the overexpression material ZmCPK28 OE -1, ZmCPK28 OE -2 sucrose content was 134.31 g / 100 g and 106.78 g / 100 g, respectively, significantly higher than the wild type; the mutant material zmcpk28 -1, zmcpk28 -2 sucrose content was 30.16 g / 100 g and 32.79 g / 100 g, respectively, significantly lower than the wild type.

[0042] And after 10 days of high nitrogen treatment, the wild type B73-329 sucrose content in the control group changed to 126.06 g / 100 g, the overexpression material ZmCPK28 OE -1, ZmCPK28 OE -2 sucrose content was 617.17 g / 100 g and 575.62 g / 100 g, respectively, still significantly higher than the wild type; the mutant material zmcpk28 -1, zmcpk28 -2 sucrose content was 93.97 g / 100 g and 101.68 g / 100 g, respectively, lower than the wild type.

[0043] The above results show that ZmCPK28 The gene positively regulates the synthesis of sucrose in corn seedlings, and will increase the sucrose content of the plant after high nitrogen treatment.

[0044] Example 4 Change of glucose and fructose content in corn seedlings The kit used for glucose and fructose content determination is Megazyme SUCROSE, D-FRUCTOSE and D-GLUCOSE, and the experiment is carried out according to the instructions, and the data results are shown in Figure 6 .

[0045] From Figure 6 The analysis found that after 15 days of low nitrogen treatment, the wild type B73-329 glucose content was 29.69 g / 100 g; the overexpression material ZmCPK28 OE -1, ZmCPK28 OE -2 glucose content was 22.99 g / 100 g and 19.15 g / 100 g, respectively, lower than the wild type; the mutant material zmcpk28 -1, zmcpk28 -2 glucose content was 42.52 g / 100 g and 49.61 g / 100 g, respectively, higher than the wild type. The above results show that ZmCPK28 The gene negatively regulates the synthesis of glucose in corn seedlings.

[0046] And after 15 days of high nitrogen treatment, the wild type B73-329 glucose content in the control group changed to 44.44 g / 100 g, the overexpression material ZmCPK28 OE-1, ZmCPK28 OE -2 glucose contents were 33.52 g / 100 g and 44.63 g / 100 g, respectively, lower than the wild type; mutant materials zmcpk28 -1, zmcpk28 -2 glucose contents were 45.40 g / 100 g and 41.57 g / 100 g, respectively, higher than the wild type.

[0047] The above results show that ZmCPK28 The gene negatively regulates the synthesis of glucose in corn seedlings, and will increase the glucose content of the plant after high nitrogen treatment.

[0048] As Figure 7 shown, after 15 days of low nitrogen treatment, the fructose content of wild type B73-329 was 40.32 g / 100 g; overexpression materials ZmCPK28 OE -1, ZmCPK28 OE -2 fructose contents were 34.47 g / 100 g and 27.46 g / 100 g, respectively, significantly lower than the wild type; mutant materials zmcpk28 -1, zmcpk28 -2 fructose contents were 49.86 g / 100 g and 50.06 g / 100 g, respectively, significantly higher than the wild type.

[0049] Similarly, after 15 days of high nitrogen treatment, the fructose content of wild type B73-329 in the control group became 70.12 g / 100 g, and the overexpression materials ZmCPK28 OE -1, ZmCPK28 OE -2 fructose contents were 38.37 g / 100 g and 40.51 g / 100 g, respectively, still significantly lower than the wild type; mutant materials zmcpk28 -1, zmcpk28 -2 fructose contents were 80.25 g / 100 g and 90.83 g / 100 g, respectively, higher than the wild type.

[0050] The above results show that ZmCPK28 The gene negatively regulates the synthesis of fructose in corn seedlings, and will increase the fructose content of the plant after high nitrogen treatment.

[0051] Example 5 Changes in the content of trehalose in corn seedlings The kit used for trehalose content determination is Megazyme TREHALOSE KIT, and the experiment is carried out according to the instructions, and the data results are shown in Figure 8 .

[0052] As Figure 8 can be seen, the trehalose content of wild type B73-329 in the low nitrogen treatment group was 84.25 g / 100 g; overexpression materials ZmCPK28 OE -1, ZmCPK28 OE-2 trehalose contents were 101.71 g / 100 g and 95.64 g / 100 g, respectively, which were significantly higher than that of the wild type; mutant materials zmcpk28 -1, zmcpk28 -2 trehalose contents were 64.52 g / 100 g and 64.65 g / 100 g, respectively, which were lower than that of the wild type. The above results showed that ZmCPK28 The gene positively regulated the synthesis of trehalose in corn seedlings.

[0053] After 15 days of high nitrogen treatment, the trehalose content of the wild type B73-329 in the control group became 95.64 g / 100 g, and the trehalose content of the overexpression material ZmCPK28 OE -1, ZmCPK28 OE -2 trehalose contents were 112.34 g / 100 g and 114.62 g / 100 g, respectively, which were higher than that of the wild type; mutant materials zmcpk28 -1, zmcpk28 -2 trehalose contents were 90.10 g / 100 g and 92.55 g / 100 g, respectively, which were lower than that of the wild type.

[0054] The above results showed that ZmCPK28 The gene positively regulated the synthesis of trehalose in corn seedlings, and would increase the trehalose content of the plant after high nitrogen treatment.
