AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the molecular regulatory mechanism of sucrose metabolism genes in the synthesis of cellulose in bamboo stems is unclear, and there is a lack of joint research on sucrose transport, distribution and metabolic pathways, resulting in insufficient cellulose content, which affects the quality and supply of bamboo as a raw material for pulp and paper making.
A gene tandem module of SuSy2-SUT4-SWEET5 from Liangshan Cizhu was constructed. Through the combination of promoter 35S, DfSuSy2, DfSUT4, DfSWEET5 and tag, the recombinant plasmid was transformed into Agrobacterium and infected the plant to achieve co-expression and regulation of the gene, thereby enhancing sucrose transport and metabolism.
By regulating the sucrose transport, distribution, and metabolic pathways of bamboo plants, the cellulose content of plants can be significantly increased, cultivating plant resources with high fiber content and high biomass. This can alleviate the paper industry's demand for pulp raw materials and the shortage of timber, and enhance the economic and environmental value of forage.

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of molecular biology, and more specifically, this invention relates to a SuSy2-SUT4-SWEET5 gene tandem module of *Bambusa textilis* and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Bamboo is an important raw material for pulp and paper making, and its cellulose content directly affects pulp yield and the quality of finished paper. Therefore, the creation and cultivation of bamboo species with high cellulose content is of great strategic significance to the development of my country's paper industry. *Liangshan Cizhu* ( Dendrocalamus farinosus Bamboo is an important economic bamboo species in southwestern my country. Due to its high yield, rich fiber content, and strong resistance, it is regarded as an excellent bamboo material for pulp.
[0003] Previous studies have shown that sucrose breakdown products are key substrates for cellulose synthesis. However, although previous research has focused on the functions of sucrose metabolism genes in sugar metabolism, the molecular regulatory mechanisms by which these key genes directly participate in plant stem cellulose synthesis remain unclear, and there are no reports of a combined study of the entire pathway of sucrose transport, distribution, and metabolism. Summary of the Invention
[0004] One object of the present invention is to solve at least the above-mentioned problems and / or defects, and to provide at least the advantages described below.
[0005] To achieve these objectives and other advantages of the present invention, a gene tandem module of *Bambusa textilis* SuSy2-SUT4-SWEET5 is provided, comprising: a 35S promoter, a DfSuSy2 gene, a 3×Flag tag, a self-cleaving peptide P2A, a DfSWEET5 gene, a 3×HA tag, a DfSUT4 gene, and an EGFP tag; the arrangement is 35S::DfSUSy2-3×Flag-P2A-DfSWEET5-3×HA-P2A-DfSUT4-EGFP; The nucleotide sequences of the DfSuSy2 gene are shown in SEQ ID No:1, the DfSUT4 gene in SEQ ID No:2, the DfSWEET5 gene in SEQ ID No:3, the 35S promoter in SEQ ID No:4, the 3×Flag tag in SEQ ID No:5, the self-cleaving peptide P2A in SEQ ID No:6, the 3×HA tag in SEQ ID No:7, and the EGFP tag in SEQ ID No:8.

[0009] Application of a recombinant plasmid as described above in plants.
[0010] Application of a recombinant strain as described above in plants.
[0011] The application described above is characterized in that the plant is *Bambusa textilis*, tobacco, *Arabidopsis thaliana*, potato, or *Phyllostachys pubescens*.
[0012] The application of the Liangshan Cizhu SuSy2-SUT4-SWEET5 gene tandem module in plants, as described above, includes the following steps: Step 1: Construct the SuSy2-SUT4-SWEET5 gene tandem module of *Phyllostachys liangshanensis*. Step 2: Transformation of Agrobacterium; Step 3: Select the positive strains from Step 2 to infect the plants.
[0013] As described above, in the application of the SuSy2-SUT4-SWEET5 gene tandem module of *Phyllostachys liangshanensis* in plants, the infection method in step three is one of the following: leaf disc transformation, injection, inflorescence infection, or stem segment infection.
[0014] The application of the Liangshan Cizhu SuSy2-SUT4-SWEET5 gene tandem module in plants as described above, in step three, the plants are tobacco, Arabidopsis thaliana, potato, or moso bamboo.
[0015] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: The Liangshan Cizhu SuSy2-SUT4-SWEET5 gene tandem module of this invention involves the entire pathway of regulating sucrose transport, distribution, and metabolism in bamboo plants. By jointly studying these three linear processes, i.e., tandem co-expression, it can dose-dependently increase the cellulose content in plants, thereby cultivating high-fiber, high-biomass, high-quality plant resources. This has profound significance for the improvement, application, and promotion of fiber-producing bamboo.
[0016] Meanwhile, this invention can also be heterologously expressed in dicotyledonous plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana, tobacco, and potato to increase the biomass of plant materials, which has high value in improving the economic and environmental aspects of forage feed. In terms of increasing the cellulose content of plant materials, these non-wood plants can be used as pulp raw materials, which can alleviate the problem of the long-term shortage of pulp raw materials in my country's papermaking industry to a certain extent. Moreover, since the selected plants are non-wood plants, they can also alleviate the problem of the long growth cycle and shortage of wood to a certain extent, thus having certain application and ecological value.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can implement it based on the description.
[0020] It should be understood that terms such as “having,” “comprising,” and “including” as used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.
[0021] Example 1 Transcriptome analysis of stems from *Phyllostachys liangshanensis*: One-year-old Liangshan Cizhu bamboo was used as the experimental material, with a control group and a treatment group. The control group received no fertilizer (50 kg of soil was added per pot), while the treatment group received OFBa treatment (500 g of organic fertilizer and 30 g of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens per pot, totaling 50 kg of soil-fertilizer mixture). Each group was subjected to three biological replicates, and samples were taken 90 days after fertilization to determine the phenotype. After OFBa treatment, the cellulose content of the stems of Liangshan Cizhu bamboo in the treatment group increased significantly. RNA-sequence was performed on the 1st, 7th, and 14th nodes of the stems of the treatment group and the control group.
[0022] Figure 1 This is a set of differentially expressed genes in the 1st, 7th, and 14th segments of the stem of *Phyllostachys liangshanensis* under OFBa fertilization conditions and the control group. Figure 2 This is a diagram showing the enrichment analysis of the KEGG metabolic pathway in the differential gene intersection of this invention. Figure 3 This is a graph showing the expression levels of glucose metabolism-related genes in the differentially expressed genes of this invention. Figure 4 This is a tissue expression analysis diagram of glucose metabolism-related genes in the differentially expressed genes of this invention. Among them, Figure 4The English meanings of the Chinese characters are as follows: Root: root; Rhne: the junction between the shoot and the underground part; Rhbud: shoot bud; Labud: lateral bud; C10: 10cm shoot; C50: 50cm shoot; C100: 100cm shoot; C200: 200cm shoot; C400: 400cm shoot; C800: 800cm shoot; CSH: stem sheath; ShB: shoot sheath; Yleaf: young leaf; MLeaf: mature leaf; Inod: internode; Node: node; Branch: branch. Analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed an intersection containing 3170 differentially expressed genes. Figure 1 Further KEGG enrichment analysis of these 3170 genes revealed significant enrichment in genes involved in starch and sucrose metabolism. Figure 2 Further analysis of the expression changes of glucose metabolism-related genes revealed that DfSuSy2, DfSUT4, and DfSWEET5 were specifically induced to be highly expressed under fertilization conditions. Figure 3 Meanwhile, tissue expression analysis of differentially expressed genes related to glucose metabolism was conducted: it was found that the expression levels of all three genes were relatively high in the stems of *Phyllostachys liangshanensis*. Figure 4 This suggests that these genes may promote stem cellulose synthesis by enhancing sugar metabolism.
[0023] Example 2 Tissue expression identification of DfSuSy2, DfSUT4, and DfSWEET5 genes: Figure 5 This is a tissue expression diagram of the DfSuSy2, DfSUT4, and DfSWEET5 genes of this invention. Figure 5 AC represents the expression analysis of the DfSuSy2, DfSUT4, and DfSWEET5 genes in the 1st, 7th, and 14th segments of the stem before and after treatment with the microbial fertilizer (OFBa). Figure 5 DF represents the expression analysis of the DfSuSy2, DfSUT4, and DfSWEET5 genes in various tissues of cultivated *Phyllostachys liangshanensis*. The English meanings of the terms in DF are: Branch; CSH: stem sheath; Inod: internode; Labud: lateral bud; MLeaf: mature leaf; Node: node; Rhbud: shoot bud; Rhne: junction between shoot and underground part; Root: root; ShB: shoot sheath; Yleaf: young leaf; C10: 10cm shoot; C50: 50cm shoot; C100: 100cm shoot; C200: 200cm shoot; C400: 400cm shoot; C800: 800cm shoot. The expression levels of DfSuSy2, DfSUT4, and DfSWEET5 in the 1st, 7th, and 14th nodes of the stem before and after fertilization were analyzed. It was found that DfSuSy2, DfSUT4, and DfSWEET5 were all significantly highly expressed after treatment with the microbial fertilizer (OFBa). Figure 5AC); To clarify the tissue expression of SuSy2, SUT4, and SWEET5 genes, transcriptome data from 17 different tissues and organs and developmental stages (branching, stem sheath, internode, lateral bud, mature leaf, young leaf, root, and bamboo shoots of different heights, etc.) of Liangshan bamboo were analyzed to determine their expression levels. Figure 5 (DF) The results showed that SuSy2 and SUT4 were expressed in all tissues and organs of Liangshan Cizhu, but the expression levels of the three genes were not high in the internodes.
[0024] Example 3 Subcellular localization and structural prediction of DfSuSy2, DfSUT4, and DfSWEET5: 1. Subcellular localization (1) Preparation of inoculum Glycerol-laden bacteria (GV3101) carrying the exogenous target gene pCAM35S::DfSuSy2 / DfSUT4 / DfSWEET5-EGFP and the empty vector pCAMBIA1300 were activated on double-antibiotic plates. Positive single colonies were inoculated into 5 mL of double-antibiotic liquid LB medium (specific formulation: 1 g tryptone, 1 g NaCl, 0.5 g yeast extract, pH adjusted to 7.0, distilled water to a final volume of 100 mL; sterilized at 121℃ for 20 min, followed by the addition of two antibiotics, Kana). + 50 mg / L, Rif + Incubate overnight (28℃, 200rpm) in 50mg / L solution, then shake vigorously the next day until the bacterial culture reaches OD500. 600 =0.7; Centrifuge at 4000 rpm for 10 min at room temperature, collect the bacterial cells, resuspend in 10 mM MgCl2, and adjust OD. 600 =0.8, then add 2µL (100mM) AS, mix well and let stand for 3 hours; (2) Genetic transformation of tobacco by injection Take tobacco leaves during their vigorous growth period, use a 1mL syringe to draw up the infection solution and inject it into the tobacco leaves. Incubate overnight in the dark, and resume normal culture the next day.
[0025] (3) Microscopic examination Microscopic examination (24-48 hours after genetic transformation): Take leaves without wounds, prepare slides, and take pictures after finding GFP fluorescence signals under a laser confocal microscope.
[0026] Figure 6This is a subcellular localization map of the DfSuSy2, DfSUT4, and DfSWEET5 proteins of this invention. The results showed that all three proteins exhibited fluorescence signals on the plasma membrane, indicating that DfSuSy2, DfSUT4, and DfSWEET5 are all located on the plasma membrane. Furthermore, green fluorescence signals were also observed in the chloroplasts of tobacco leaves transiently transformed with the 35S::DfSWEET5-EGFP vector, suggesting that DfSWEET5 may also function within the chloroplasts.
[0027] 2. Protein structure prediction of DfSuSy2, DfSUT4 and DfSWEET5 Figure 7 This image shows the predicted structures of the DfSuSy2, DfSUT4, and DfSWEET5 proteins from this invention. AlphaFold was used to predict the structures of DfSUSy2, DfSUT4, and DfSWEET5 proteins: DfSUSy2 exhibits a typical homotetrameric conformation; DfSUT4 possesses 12 transmembrane domains typical of a sugar transporter family; and DfSWEET5 contains seven transmembrane domains: a pair of repeating sequences of three transmembrane helices and an additional helix connecting these two repeating sequences. The pTM values for the predicted structures of DfSuSy2, DfSUT4, and DfSWEET5 were 0.86, 0.72, and 0.83, respectively, indicating that the predicted overall structures are close to the native conformations.

Add 250 µL of solution P1 to the EP tube and thoroughly resuspend the bacterial cells using a vortex mixer. Add 250 µL of solution P2 to the tube and immediately and gently invert the EP tube 6-8 times to ensure complete lysis of the bacterial cells. Add 350 µL of solution P3 to the tube and immediately and gently invert the tube 6-8 times (a white flocculent precipitate will appear at this point). Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 10 min (at room temperature) and transfer the supernatant to the equilibrated adsorption column CP3 (place the adsorption column in the collection tube).

[0046] Then, the adsorption column CP3 was placed in a new EP tube, and 40 µL of ddH2O (preheated to 65 °C) was added dropwise to the middle of the adsorption membrane. The tube was then left to stand at room temperature for 2 min. After centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 2 min at room temperature, the adsorption column CP3 was discarded, and the plasmid was collected.

The specific steps are as follows: 7 µL of plasmid was mixed with 100 µL of GV3101 competent cells, incubated on ice for 30 min, immediately treated with liquid nitrogen for 5 min, then incubated in a 37°C water bath for 5 min, followed by an ice bath for 3 min. 800 µL of antibiotic-free LB liquid medium (the formula is the same as the antibiotic-free LB liquid medium above) was added, and the cells were incubated at 180 rpm and 28°C for 4 h. After incubation, the cells were centrifuged at 5500 rpm for 1 min at room temperature, and part of the supernatant was discarded, leaving about 100 µL. This supernatant was then spread onto solid LB double-antibiotic medium (the specific formula is: 1 g tryptone, 1 g NaCl, 0.5 g yeast extract, 1 g agar powder, adjusted to pH 7.0, and diluted to 100 mL with distilled water). The medium was then sterilized by steam at 121°C for 20 min, and two antibiotics, Kana, were added after sterilization. + 50 mg / L, Rif + Incubate overnight in 50 mg / L solution for 2-3 days.

[0050] 2. Genetic transformation of tobacco The specific steps for transforming tobacco using the Agrobacterium-mediated leaf disc method are as follows: (1) Preparation of inoculum Agrobacterium (glycerol bacterium) carrying the exogenous target gene was activated on a double-antibiotic plate. After 1-2 days, single colonies on the plate were collected and placed in 5 mL of double-antibiotic LB liquid medium (specific formula: 1 g tryptone, 1 g NaCl, 0.5 g yeast extract, adjusted to pH 7.0, and diluted to 100 mL with distilled water; sterilized at 121℃ for 20 min, and then two antibiotics Kana were added). + 50 mg / L, Rif + 50 mg / L (this formulation was used for all subsequent double-antibody LB liquid medium) was incubated overnight (28°C, 200 rpm); the next day, it was inoculated at a 1:100 ratio into 30 mL of double-antibody LB liquid medium and cultured with shaking until OD (outcome limit) was reached. 600 When the concentration of the bacterial culture reaches 0.7, transfer the above bacterial culture to a 50 mL sterile centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 24°C and 5000 rpm for 5 min, discard the supernatant, add 50 mL of infiltration buffer (without AS) to the centrifuge tube, mix well by pipetting, and centrifuge again at 24°C and 5000 rpm for 1 min, discard the supernatant; add infiltration buffer (without AS) to the centrifuge tube until the OD reaches 0.7. 600 After 0.2, the infection solution was transferred to a 350mL sterile tissue culture bottle, and AS (100mM) was added at a ratio of 1:1000. The culture was then incubated in the dark at 28℃ and 180rpm for 1h.
[0051] (2) Tobacco contamination In a clean bench, tobacco leaves were cut into 1.5cm × 1.5cm cubes using a sterile scalpel (leaf edges removed, avoiding veins). A certain number of leaf cubes were selected and placed in the infiltration solution, and infiltrated at 28℃ and 180rpm for 10min. After infiltration, the cubes were air-dried on sterile filter paper (or blotted dry with sterile filter paper). The dried leaf cubes were then placed on a co-culture solid culture medium (leaf face down, with filter paper as a separator) and incubated in the dark for 2 days.
[0052] (3) Induction / screening culture After co-culture, the buds were transferred to S1 medium for induction culture (leaf face up, 14h light + 10h dark; 26℃), and the S1 medium was changed every 7 days. After 3 weeks, the buds were transferred to S2 medium, and after 5 weeks, they were transferred to S3 medium. After the buds grew to a certain height, they were transferred to rooting medium for culture.
[0053] (4) Cultivation and screening The positive seedlings that have undergone hardening off are moved outdoors for pot cultivation until T0 tobacco seeds are harvested. The tobacco seeds are sterilized with 10% sodium hypochlorite for 8 minutes, then washed with sterile water until no sodium hypochlorite residue is found. The sterile seeds are then placed in 1 / 2 MS medium containing 50 mg / L hygromycin (the specific formula is: 2.37 g MS powder, 15 g sucrose, pH adjusted to 5.8, and distilled water to a final volume of 1 L; sterilized by high-temperature steam at 121℃ for 20 minutes, and then 50 mg / L hygromycin is added after sterilization) for screening.

[0061] Example 5 Homozygous T3 generation Arabidopsis plants overexpressing DfSuSy2, DfSUT4, and DfSWEET5 genes: 1. Arabidopsis genetic transformation (1) Preparation of inoculum Agrobacterium (glycerol bacterium) carrying the exogenous target gene was activated on a double-antibiotic plate. After 1-2 days, single colonies from the plate were collected and cultured overnight (28℃, 200rpm) in 5mL of double-antibiotic LB liquid medium. The next day, the colonies were inoculated at a ratio of 1:100 into at least 200mL of double-antibiotic LB liquid medium (containing Rif). + and Kana + The culture was carried out with shaking (all working concentrations were 50 mg / L) until OD... 600When the concentration of the bacterial culture reaches 0.7, the bacterial culture is transferred to a 50 mL sterile centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 24 °C and 4500 rpm for 5 min. The supernatant is discarded, and an equal volume of infiltration solution (the composition of the infiltration solution is shown in Table 16) is added to the centrifuge tube to resuspend the bacterial cells. The prepared infiltration solution is then transferred to a sterile dish for infiltration.
[0062] Table 16 Composition of Infection Solution (2) Infection of Arabidopsis thaliana After treatment, the unopened inflorescences were completely immersed in the infection solution for 45 seconds, then cultured in complete darkness for 24 hours before being exposed to normal light. After one week, the plants were observed and subjected to a second infection to improve the transformation efficiency. After that, they were cultured under normal light until the seeds were harvested.
[0063] 2. Positive screening and culture Harvest infected Arabidopsis seeds (T0 generation seeds), treat with 75% ethanol for 1 min; treat with 10% hypochlorous acid for 8 min; wash with sterile water until no sodium hypochlorite residue is found, then spot the sterile seeds onto 1 / 2 MS medium containing 40 mg / L hygromycin (specific formula: 2.37 g MS powder, 15 g sucrose, adjust pH to 5.8, distilled water to 1 L; sterilize at 121℃ for 20 min, then add 40 mg / L hygromycin) for positive screening.
[0064] After hydration at low temperature for 2-4 days, the seeds were cultured under 22℃ light for 2-4 days until all seeds germinated. They were then cultured in darkness until positive seedlings with significantly longer hypocotyls were selected. These positive seedlings were then transplanted into nutrient soil for soil cultivation. Once the seeds (at this stage, the T1 generation) matured, they were harvested and subjected to further sterilization, screening, and cultivation to obtain more mature seeds (at this stage, the T2 generation). The T2 generation seeds were then subjected to further sterilization, screening, and cultivation to produce seedlings (at this stage, the T3 generation seedlings), which were then subjected to subsequent index measurements and analysis.

Transfer the bacterial culture to a 50mL sterile centrifuge tube and centrifuge at 23℃ and 5000rpm for 6min. Discard the supernatant and resuspend the cells in MS liquid medium (specific formula: 4.74g MS powder, 30g sucrose, adjust pH to 5.8, and bring the volume to 1L with distilled water; sterilize at 121℃ for 20min). Adjust the OD... 600 =0.2, which is the infiltration solution.
[0068] (2) Infection of potatoes Sterile tube potatoes grown for 84–140 days and with a diameter of approximately 0.5 cm were cut into 1 mm–2 mm slices and inoculated in the infection solution for 8 min. The inoculated material was then removed, placed on sterile filter paper to air dry, and transferred to shoot differentiation medium (MS powder 4.74 g + 3% sucrose (m / v) + 1 mg / L IAA + 0.2 mg / L GA3 + 0.5 mg / L 6-BA + 2 mg / L ZT, diluted to 1 L with distilled water) and incubated in the dark at 26°C for 2 days.

[0070] During this period, the young shoots at the edges of the test tube potato slices were removed and discarded. After 21–28 days, resistant shoots grew from the center of the test tube potato slices. When the resistant shoots reached 0.5 cm–1 cm in length, they were cut off and transferred to MS medium containing 10 mg / L hygromycin and 200 mg / L cephalosporin (8 g of agar powder was added to each 1 L of MS liquid medium) to induce rooting, thereby obtaining complete plants.
