Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of genetic engineering technology, specifically to an Arabidopsis gene. AT1G12064 Application and methods in Arabidopsis thaliana breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Arabidopsis thaliana is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the Brassicaceae family. Its small genome, short growth cycle, high fruit production, and strong vitality make it a model plant for dicotyledonous plant research and widely used as genetic analysis material for various crops. Therefore, research on Arabidopsis thaliana can provide a research foundation and reference for other crop research and molecular breeding.

[0003] Important yield traits in Arabidopsis thaliana are typical quantitative traits, including the number of effective siliques, the number of seeds per silique, and the thousand-seed weight. The number of effective siliques is easily affected by environmental and cultivation conditions, making its genetic analysis difficult. The thousand-seed weight and the number of seeds per silique, as yield components of Arabidopsis thaliana, are less affected by environmental and cultivation conditions and are genetically more stable, making them more suitable for genetic improvement. The growth period is a crucial agronomic trait determining the planting region and season of a variety. Breeding early-maturing, high-yielding new varieties has always been a major focus of crop genetics and breeding research (Fang et al., 2019; https: / / doi.org / 10.1073 / pnas.1815030116). Overcoming latitudinal limitations in crop cultivation and reducing the constraints of regional environment and seasonal climate both highly depend on the early maturity of crops. However, early maturity of crops is negatively correlated with traits such as yield and resistance, making it difficult to simultaneously aggregate desirable traits such as early maturity, disease resistance, and yield (Zhao et al., 2023; https: / / doi.org / 10.1016 / j.tplants.2023.04.011.), which is a challenge currently facing crop breeding technology.

[0004] Currently, there is limited cloning and research on genes that control plant yield and growth period, and there is an urgent need to conduct functional research on genes that control early maturity and high yield.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

Single clones were picked for expansion culture and identification by colony PCR. After the identification result was correct, the culture was expanded and placed in a shaker at 28°C for 200 rpm for 1-2 days. The bacterial culture was centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 15 min using a high-speed refrigerated centrifuge. The bacterial cells were collected and resuspended in staining buffer (5% sucrose solution with an appropriate amount of surfactant Silwet-L77). The OD600 was adjusted to 0.8-1.0 using a spectrophotometer.

For seed weight determination, well-developed siliques from the middle of the main inflorescence were harvested and naturally dried in a 37℃ constant temperature incubator. The collected seeds from each plant were evenly spread on white paper, and the number of seeds was read using ImageJ software, while the seed weight was measured using an electronic precision balance. The economic yield per plant was calculated as the total weight of all seeds harvested from each individual plant.
