Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a hybrid potato seedling hypocotyl single cell extraction method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The genetic background of potato cultivars is relatively narrow, and the common potato used in production is basically tetraploid, but the wild species is diploid. Due to the difference in ploidy level and endosperm balance number, it is difficult to transfer the high-quality genes of many wild resources to common potatoes through traditional breeding. In order to fully utilize wild germplasm resources and broaden the narrow genetic basis of cultivated potatoes, researchers have made great efforts. The use of somatic hybridization technology can effectively overcome the reproductive isolation caused by ploidy differences between cultivated potatoes and wild species, transfer high-quality genes from wild species to cultivated species for selection and improvement of varieties, and also avoid biological safety supervision problems related to genetic modification. At the same time, the hybrid F1 produced by diploid hybrid potato breeding needs to be promoted from seed to seedling, which involves seed germination and developmental biology. The seed dicotyledon emerges by relying on the elongation of hypocotyl, so extracting hypocotyl single cells can help analyze the single cell biology of hypocotyl elongation, which is of great significance to understanding the regulation of hybrid diploid potato seed germination and cotyledon emergence.

[0036] 1.4 Preparation of W5 solution Add the components in Table 5 into a centrifuge tube, and mix well to obtain the W5 solution. The W5 solution should be prepared immediately before use.

[0037] Table 5 Components of W5 solution

[0038] Example 2 Sample treatment and protoplast extraction 2.1 Sample treatment Use a blade to cut the potato seedling (hybrid potato diploid, variety Youshu No. 1) hypocotyl tissue into thin slices. Wash the tissue slices twice with the pretreatment solution, and reserve for use.

[0039] 2.2 Tissue enzymolysis (1) Place the tissue slices into a centrifuge tube containing ES, and then place the centrifuge tube in a shaker incubator for incubation in the dark. Set the shaker incubator to 30°C and 75 rpm.

[0040] (2) During the incubation, observe the protoplast state (including morphology, quantity, size, amount of debris, and cell activity) under a microscope to determine the degree of enzymolysis.

[0041] The observation under the microscope is shown in the following photograph: Figure 1 The experimental results show that the quantity and activity of the protoplasts reach the highest values at about 6 h of incubation, and the activity of the protoplasts decreases significantly after 6 h of incubation.

[0042] 2.3 Protoplast purification (1) After the enzymolysis is completed, briefly shake the centrifuge tube by hand to completely release the protoplasts.

[0043] (2) Use a wide-bore syringe tip to transfer the enzymolysis solution, and use a 40 μm cell strainer to filter the enzymolysis solution into a new 15 ml centrifuge tube.

[0044] (3) Add 2 mL WB to the remaining tissue and shake well, use a rubber bulb pipette to suck the remaining tissue liquid into the 40 pm cell sieve on the same tube in step 2, gently squeeze the remaining tissue with the rubber piston inside the needle tube, then slowly add 2 mL WB to the remaining tissue, slowly release the protoplasts into the centrifuge tube; in addition, set up a non-squeezing control group, omit the rubber piston squeezing step, and the remaining steps are the same.

[0045] (4) Transfer the centrifuge tube into the centrifuge and centrifuge at 150 x g for 5 min.

[0046] (5) Discard the supernatant, add 2 ml WB with a wide-bore gun head, and resuspend the protoplasts gently. Transfer the centrifuge tube into the centrifuge and centrifuge at 150 x g for 3 min, repeat 2 times.

[0047] (6) After discarding the supernatant, add an appropriate amount of W5 and mix gently.

[0048] 2.4 Viability detection (1) Take 5 µL of the protoplast suspension and mix with 5 µL of 0.4% trypan blue dye solution, use a digital microscope to observe and a hemocytometer to observe the state of the protoplasts and count the yield of protoplasts, take the average value of 3 experiments in each group to calculate the final yield.

[0049] (2) Then use W5 to adjust the concentration of the protoplast suspension to 1000-2000 cells / µL, place the cells on ice, and they can be used for 10x single cell library construction within 30 min.

[0050] The experimental results are shown in Figures 2-3 and Table 6, wherein Figure 2 is a micrograph using enzyme solution 1 and squeezing treatment, Figure 3 is a micrograph using enzyme solution 2 without squeezing treatment. It can be seen that after treatment with enzyme solution 1 and slight squeezing, the yield of protoplasts is significantly improved, and the viability reaches more than 90%, which can greatly improve the efficiency of single cell extraction and help subsequent related experiments, greatly reducing the number of experiments and the consumption of enzymes and reagents.
