Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of plant genetic engineering technology, and more specifically, relates to a method for efficiently inducing adventitious buds and rooting of transgenic poplar hairy roots of Nanlin 895 mediated by Agrobacterium rhizogenes. Background Technology

[0002] Nanlin 895 poplar (P. deltoides × P. euramericana) is a superior variety approved by the National Forest Tree Variety Approval Committee in 2002. Its suitable planting areas are mainly concentrated in the Huang-Huai Plain, Jiang-Huai Plain, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain. Due to its rapid growth and easy propagation, as well as its small genome, it is simple to operate in traditional and molecular breeding, and has become a model tree species for forestry research. However, existing Agrobacterium-mediated transgenic methods for Nanlin 895 poplar are still not ideal, not only due to long experimental cycles, cumbersome procedures, and low transformation efficiency, but also because it is difficult to obtain homozygous transgenic plants, with most resulting in chimeras. Because of the limitations of Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of Nanlin 895 poplar, Agrobacterium rhizogenes, as a promising alternative system capable of introducing exogenous genes into the poplar genome, has gradually attracted the attention of researchers.

[0003] The Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transgenic technology of Populus tomentosa 'Nanlin 895' is characterized by its simplicity and high efficiency. The process is short, with each plant requiring no more than 5 minutes of inoculation time, and eliminates the need for shaking or precise control of the bacterial solution's OD value. This significantly reduces experimental time and operational difficulty. Furthermore, its high transformation efficiency and ease of obtaining non-chimeric transgenic seedlings provide a new and efficient pathway for transgenic plant cultivation. However, the technical system for inducing adventitious buds from hairy roots to ultimately obtain transgenic plants is not yet perfected. This is mainly reflected in the low budding rate of hairy roots, and the difficulties encountered by the resulting adventitious buds in subsequent rooting and seedling development, leading to unstable seedling yield. Therefore, the overall efficiency and stability of this technical route have become key bottlenecks limiting its widespread application.

[0004] In summary, the core problem with this technology is the difficulty in regenerating plants from transgenic hairy roots. Therefore, this application is hereby submitted. Summary of the Invention

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application is further described below with reference to specific embodiments. Unless otherwise described in detail, the technical means used in the following embodiments are all conventional means well known to those skilled in the art.

[0030] The *Populus nanlin* 895 used in this application was obtained from Wuhan Bobeyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. It was subcultured using a medium supplemented with 1 / 2 MS medium (Murashige and Skoog medium) + 25 g / L sucrose + 7.8 g / L agar to obtain healthy wild-type *Populus nanlin* 895 tissue culture material.

[0031] The K599 Agrobacterium rhizogenes competent cells used in this application were purchased from Shanghai Weidi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] 1. Obtaining transgenic poplar hairy roots from Nanlin 895

[0034] The terminal buds, about 3 cm long, of wild-type Nanlin 895 plants were cut off, and activated Agrobacterium rhizogenes colonies were collected from the wounds. The explants were then cultured in the dark for 2-3 days in a co-culture medium of 1 / 2 MS (Murashige and Skoog medium) + 100 μmol / L AS + 7.8 g / L agar until visible white colonies appeared around the wounds. The infected explants were then transferred to a selection medium of 1 / 2 MS (Murashige and Skoog medium) + 7.8 g / L agar + 0.2 mg / L IBA + 200 mg / L termethin and cultured under light for 30-45 days to obtain transgenic Nanlin 895 poplar hairy roots.

[0035] Hairy roots induced by Agrobacterium rhizogenes exhibit easily identifiable phenotypic characteristics, clearly distinguishing them from normal roots: firstly, the hairy roots have well-developed lateral roots, exhibit negative geotropism, and often extend beyond the culture medium; secondly, the hairy roots are milky white, unlike the pale yellow or pale green of normal roots. Figure 1 These differences provide a clear basis for the initial screening of transgenic lines.

[0036] 2. Induction of adventitious shoots from isolated root segments of transgenic Nanlin 895 poplar

[0037] Transgenic hairy roots of Nanlin 895, mediated by Agrobacterium rhizogenes, were placed in sterile dishes containing sterile water. After being cut to 1-2 cm using a sterile blade, they were cultured in MS medium (Murashige and Skoog medium) + 25 g / L sucrose + 7.8 g / L agar + 0.01 mg / L TDZ + 0.2 mg / L 6-BA + 400 mg / L termetidine + 20 mg / L kanamycin to induce adventitious shoots. These adventitious shoots were then transferred to fresh MS medium (Murashige and Skoog medium) + 25 g / L sucrose + 7.8 g / L agar + 0.01 mg / L TDZ + 0.2 mg / L 6-BA + 400 mg / L termetidine + 20 mg / L kanamycin to continue proliferation for 30 days. Figure 1 As shown, the biomass of the proliferated adventitious shoots increased significantly.

[0038] 3. Adventitious bud elongation of transgenic Nanlin 895 poplar

[0039] The proliferated adventitious shoots were transferred to MS medium (Murashige and Skoog medium) for adventitious shoot elongation, which contained 25 g / L sucrose, 7.8 g / L agar, 0.01 mg / L TDZ, 400 mg / L termethin, and 20 mg / L kanamycin, and cultured for more than 25 days under the following conditions: 23–25°C, 7500–8500 lx, and 12–18 h light.

[0040] The results are as follows Figure 1 As shown, 1 / 3 of the adventitious buds elongated to more than 2 cm.

[0041] 4. Genetically modified Nanjing Forestry University 895 Yang Shenggen

[0042] Using sterile scissors, adventitious buds that have grown to more than 2 cm in the adventitious bud elongation medium were cut off and transferred to rooting medium in 1 / 2 MS medium (Murashige and Skoog medium) + 25 g / L sucrose + 7.8 g / L agar + 0.1 mg / L IBA + 200 mg / L termethin + 10 mg / L kanamycin and cultured under light for more than 25 days to obtain complete transgenic Nanlin 895 plants.

[0043] 30 days after transplantation, if Figure 1 As shown, the adventitious buds have taken root densely, indicating that their rooting condition is good.

[0044] 5. PCR detection

[0045] Transgenic leaves of Populus nanlin 895 were flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen and ground into powder. Wild-type Populus nanlin 895 leaves were used as a control. Genomic DNA was extracted using the CTAB method, and PCR amplification was performed using the following primers.

[0046] rolB gene - forward primer: 5'-ACGAAGAAGGTGCAGGCTAC-3'

[0047] rolB gene - reverse primer: 5'-TCAACGCTTTCAACCACGAG-3'

[0048] PdeNAC014 gene - forward primer: 5'-GACGCACAATCCCACTATCC-3'

[0049] PdeNAC014 gene - reverse primer: 5'-CAGGAAACAGCTATGACC-3'

[0050] The results are as follows Figure 2As shown, the rolB gene and PdeNAC014 gene (sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1) in the leaves of the induced Nanlin 895 plants can both be amplified, further indicating that the obtained plants are transgenic positive plants induced by Agrobacterium rhizogenes, indicating that it is rapid and feasible to use this system to culture the transgenic hairy roots of Nanlin 895 poplar into complete plants.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] 1. Take leaves, stem segments and root samples of Populus tomentosa 895 from Nanlin and grind them into powder in liquid nitrogen. Weigh 50 mg of the sample and extract total RNA using an RNA extraction kit. Invert the extracted RNA to obtain cDNA. The obtained cDNA is used to amplify the CDS sequence of the target gene PdeNAC072 (sequence see SEQ ID NO.2).

[0053] 2. Design gene-specific primers:

[0054] PdeNAC072 gene - forward primer: 5'-ATGGGACTGCAAGAAACAGAC-3'

[0055] PdeNAC072 gene - reverse primer: 5'-TCACTGCCTAAACCCATACCCA -3'

[0056] The CDS of the PdeNAC072 gene was amplified from the mixed cNDA of leaves, stem segments and roots of Populus tomentosa 895 in Nanlin County. The successfully sequenced sequence was ligated to the N-terminus of the 6×Flag tag in the pRI101-6×Flag vector to obtain the pRI101-PdeNAC072×Flag overexpression vector.

[0057] 3. The recombinant plasmid carrying the target gene pRI101-PdeNAC072×Flag was transformed into *Agrobacterium rhizogenes* K599 using a freeze-thaw method. Positive single colonies were picked and transferred to LB liquid medium containing 50 mg / L kanamycin sulfate and 25 mg / L streptomycin sulfate. The culture was incubated at 28°C with shaking at 200 rpm for 16-24 hours. An equal volume of the incubated culture was mixed with 50% glycerol, flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80°C for later use. The preserved *Agrobacterium rhizogenes* K599 glycerol culture was streaked onto LB solid medium containing 50 mg / L kanamycin sulfate and 25 mg / L streptomycin sulfate and incubated upside down at 28°C for 48 hours. Single colonies were picked for PCR verification. PCR-positive single colonies were spotted onto fresh LB solid medium containing 50 mg / L kanamycin sulfate and 25 mg / L streptomycin sulfate using a sterile pipette tip and grown at 28°C for 24-36 hours.

[0058] 4. Using the terminal buds of wild-type tissue-cultured Populus tomentosa 895 in good growth condition, K599 positive colonies grown on LB solid medium were collected from the wounds. After infection, the resulting hairy roots were subjected to adventitious bud induction culture under the following conditions: 23–25℃, 7500–8500 lx, and 12–18 h light.

[0059] 5. The induced plant leaves were flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen and ground into powder. Genomic DNA was extracted using the CTAB method, and PCR amplification was performed according to the primers for the rolB gene and the PdeNAC072 gene.

[0060] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, the rolB and PdeNAC072 genes in the leaves of the induced Nanlin 895 plants can both be amplified, further indicating that the obtained plants are transgenic positive plants induced by Agrobacterium rhizogenes. This shows that it is rapid and feasible to use this system to culture the transgenic hairy roots of Nanlin 895 poplar into complete plants.
