Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of genetic engineering breeding technology, and particularly relates to Brassica campestris L. HSK kinase, a coding gene BraDMR1 thereof and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Olsson is a cultivated subspecies of Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Olsson, which is originally from China. As the largest vegetable crop in China, the yield and quality of Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Olsson are related to the market supply and market price of vegetables, and it is indeed an important vegetable. In the growth process of Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Olsson, it is often infected by downy mildew, virus disease, soft rot, black spot, white spot and black rot, among which downy mildew is one of the three major diseases of Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Olsson and the most common disease in Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Olsson production.

[0003] Downy mildew is a kind of fungal disease caused by Peronospora parasitica (Pers) Fr., and the pathogen mainly survives in the form of oospores in the soil or overwinters in the form of mycelium on the mother plant of seed storage. It germinates and infects in spring when the temperature and humidity are suitable, repeatedly infects the disease site to produce sporangia, and becomes the main initial infection source of crucifer downy mildew. At the initial stage of infection, light green spots are formed on the back of the leaf, and white mold appears when the humidity is high at the later stage of disease. Brown spots appear on the leaf veins, and then the spots gradually expand and connect, eventually leading to leaf withering, which has a great impact on the yield and quality of Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Olsson, especially the fast-growing Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Olsson such as seedling Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Olsson, green stem and heart. Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Olsson downy mildew is more serious in early spring and late autumn with lower temperature and higher humidity, and it is easy to spread in humid and cool areas and along rivers and coasts. In epidemic years, the incidence of Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Olsson can reach 80%-90%, and the yield can be reduced by 30%-50%. It can occur throughout the growth period and seriously affect the yield and quality of Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Olsson (Chen Feng, 2016, Analysis of the Occurrence and Control Measures of the Three Major Diseases of Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Olsson. China Agricultural Information, (17): 103-125; Gao Tianyi, Ren Xili, Meng Qifeng, et al., 2019, Research Status and Progress of Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Olsson Downy Mildew. Yangtze Vegetables, (16): 49-53).

[0004] Breeding of disease-resistant varieties is the most effective and safe method to control downy mildew of Chinese cabbage (Cao XM, Yu HM, Liu JJ, 2016, Different control effects of downy mildew of Chinese cabbage. Modern Rural Science and Technology, (05): 46). The pathogen of downy mildew of Chinese cabbage has multiple physiological races and complex resistance mechanisms, and the progress of resistance gene mining is slow. Niu XQ (1984) confirmed that the resistance of Chinese cabbage to downy mildew at the seedling stage was dominant inheritance by analyzing the resistance of resistant and susceptible materials and their F1 progeny (Niu XQ, 1984, Screening of original materials and genetic analysis of resistance to downy mildew and virus diseases in Chinese cabbage. Chinese Vegetables, (4): 28-32). However, there are only a few reports on the location and marker screening of resistance genes (Leng YQ, Hou XL, Shi GJ, 2007, RAPD markers for resistance to downy mildew in Chinese cabbage. Acta Horticulturae Sinica, 34(003): 763-766; Yu HF, Zhong XM, Li BY, et al., 2010, Molecular markers linked to the resistance gene to downy mildew in Chinese cabbage. Chinese Agricultural Science Bulletin, 26(15): 66-70; Kim SG, Song YH, Lee JY, et al., 2011, Identification of the BrRHP1 locus that confers resistance to downy mildew in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis) and development of linked molecular markers. Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 123: 1183-1192). Our laboratory was the first to conduct research on the identification of the pathogen of downy mildew of Chinese cabbage, germplasm screening, resistance QTL mapping, and map-based cloning. We have fine-mapped the major QTLs BraDM, BR-DM1.1, and BR-DM04 on chromosomes A08, A01, and A04, respectively, and developed SSR, SNP, and Indel markers tightly linked to these loci (Yu SC, Zhang FL, Yu RB, et al., 2009, Genetic mapping and localization of a major QTL for seedling resistance to downy mildew in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis). Molecular breeding, 23(4): 573-590; Yu SC, Zhang FL, Zhao XY, et al., 2011,Sequence-characterized amplified region and simple sequence repeat markers for identifying the major quantitative trait locus responsible for seedling resistance to Downy Mildew in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. Pekinensis). Plant breeding, 130(5):580-583; Li Hui, Yu Kuan-cang, Zhang Feng-lan et al., 2011. Development of molecular markers linked to the major QTL for resistance to downy mildew in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. Pekinensis). Acta Genetica Sinica, 33(11): 1271-1278; Yu SC., Su TB., Zhi SH., et al., 2016. Construction of a sequence-based bin map and mapping of QTLs for downy mildew resistance at four developmental stages in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp pekinensis). Molecular Breeding, 36(4): 1-12.; Zhi Shenghua, Su Tong-bing, Yu Kuan-cang et al., 2016. Identification of a downy mildew resistance locus on chromosome A01 and development of related molecular markers in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. Pekinensis) using genome-wide association analysis. Plant Physiology Journal, 52(5): 693-702.; Zhang B., Li P., Su TB., et al., 2018. BrRLP48, encoding a receptor-like protein, is involved in downy mildew resistance in Brassica rapa. Frontiers in Plant science, 9: 1708), however, the mining of Chinese cabbage downy mildew resistance genes is still a long way to go.

[0005] After the pathogen invades the plant, the plant recognizes the pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on the surface of the pathogen through the pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) on the cell membrane surface, causing the PTI response (PAMPs triggered immunity). The PTI response is the first layer of innate immunity of the plant, which can inhibit the invasion of most pathogens, and is usually accompanied by Ca2+ outflow, large amounts of salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) production, MAPK activation, etc., and at the same time, the expression of disease resistance related genes is up-regulated, and a large amount of reactive oxygen species is produced, but the immune response is relatively weak. Subsequently, the pathogen secretes effectors into the host cells to inhibit the PTI response of the plant, and then the plant directly or indirectly recognizes the effectors through the R protein (Resistance protein) to trigger the ETI response (Effector triggered immunity) (Zhou JM. & Zhang Y., 2020. Plant immunity: danger perception and signaling. Cell, 181(5): 978-989), i.e. the second layer of innate immunity. The ETI response is similar to the PTI response process, but the reaction is more intense, the duration is longer, and the inhibition of the pathogen is stronger, such as the hypersensitive response (HR). When the disease resistance gene is activated, the synthesis of plant hormone SA is activated through the regulation of EDS1, PAD4, etc., the transcriptional co-factor NPR1 recognizes the large amount of SA synthesis, and then transfers to the nucleus to activate the expression of antibacterial factors (Zhang J., Coaker G., Zhou JM., et al., 2020. Plant immune mechanisms: from reductionistic to holistic points of view. Molecular Plant, 13(10): 1358-1378).

[0006] In recent years, some genes that can help pathogen to infect host or promote the reproduction of pathogen in host have been reported in plants; because such genes reduce the resistance of plants to pathogen and promote the disease of plants, they are called susceptibility genes. According to the different functions of susceptibility genes in pathogen infection and reproduction in host, they are divided into three categories: the first category of susceptibility genes plays a function in the early stage of pathogen infection, such as regulating spore germination, promoting hyphal growth, etc. Glossy 11 mutation in maize can inhibit the germination of powdery mildew spores (Hansjakob A., Riederer M., Hildebrandt U., 2011, Wax matters: absence of very-long-chain aldehydes from the leaf cuticular wax of the glossy 11 mutant of maize compromises the prepenetration processes of Blumeria graminis. Plant Pathology, 60: 1151-1161); the second category of susceptibility genes encodes negative regulators of plant immune response, inhibits the PTI response or ETI response of plants, promotes the infection of pathogen, CESA3 mutation in Arabidopsis thaliana regulates cellulose synthesis, which can increase the resistance to multiple pathogenic bacteria by increasing the synthesis of ABA, JA and SA (Ellis C., Karafyllidis I., Wasternack C., et al., 2002, The Arabidopsis mutant cev1 links cell wall signaling to jasmonate and ethylene responses. Plant Cell, 14: 1557-1566); the third category of susceptibility genes maintains the growth and metabolism of pathogen in host, sucrose transporter protein SWEET in rice can be activated by TAL type effector to provide carbon source for the growth of pathogen (Streubel J., Pesce C., Hutin M., et al., 2013, Five phylogenetically close rice SWEET genes confer TAL effector-mediated susceptibility to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. New Phytol, 200: 808-819).

[0007] The recessive resistance existing in nature can be caused by mutation of a disease-susceptible gene core site. At present, the disease-susceptible gene is found in crops such as Arabidopsis, rice, tomato and pepper. Knocking out the disease-susceptible gene by using the CRISPR / Cas9 technology can produce a polyphasic effect. Therefore, mining the disease-susceptible gene and knocking out the disease-susceptible gene are another important way to obtain a resistant variety. SUMMARY

[0103] 2.1, selection of BraDMR1 knockout target and construction of knockout vector

[0104] 1) Construction of sgRNA expression cassette

[0105] The BrDMR1 gene knockout target sites T1 and T2 were designed according to CRIPSR-P (http: / / crispr.hzau.edu.cn / CRISPR2 / ), primers DMR1-BsF, DMR1-F0, DMR1-R0 and DMR1-BsR were designed according to the sequences of the two target sites, and the sgRNA expression cassette DMR1-pCBC-DT1T2 with the target sequence was obtained by bridge PCR amplification using the pCBC-DT1T2 vector as a template.

[0114] ​T2: GGTCGGAGCTTCGAACTCA (Br1.5ch07g2309339-Br1.5ch07g2309358);

[0115] T2 is the reverse complement of SEQ ID No. 1 at positions 696-714;

[0120] DMR1-BsR: ATTATTGGTCTCGAAAC TGAGTTCGAAGCTCCGACCC AA (the underlined nucleotide sequence is the reverse complement of target 2 (T2));

[0121] 2) Construction of gene editing vector

[0122] DMR1-pCBC-DT1T2 and pKSE401 vectors were digested with Bsa I enzyme and then constructed into BraDMR1-401 vector.

[0123] Golden Gate digestion and ligation reaction: DMR1-pCBC-DT1T2 fragment with target sequence and pKSE401 vector were digested with Bsa I and ligated by T4 DNA Ligase to construct the recombinant vector named BraDMR1-401. The specific reaction system is as follows: DMR1-pCBC-DT1T2 fragment (100 ng / μL) 8 μL, pKSE401 (400 ng / μL) 2 μL, 10×T4 Ligase Buffer (NEB) 1.5 μL, 10×BSA 1.5 μL, BsaI (NEB) 1 μL, T4 DNA Ligase (NEB) 1 μL, total reaction volume 15 μL. The reaction program is as follows: first step: 37°C, 5h; second step: 50°C, 5min; third step: 80°C, 10min.

[0124] 3) Transformation of E. coli

[0125] The connected vector is transformed into E. coli DH5a by heat shock method. 10 μl of the ligation product is added to 50 μl of E. coli DH5a competent cells thawed on ice, mixed gently, and then placed on ice for 30 min. After being heated at 42°C for 85 s, it is quickly placed on ice, cooled for 2 min, and then 500 μl of blank LB liquid medium is added and placed in a 37°C shaking incubator at 180 rpm for 45-60 min. According to the copy number of the vector, an appropriate amount of bacterial liquid is coated on a solid LB medium containing 100 mM kana, and placed in a 37°C incubator for dark culture. After about 12 h, single colonies are picked and 500 μl of liquid LB medium (100 mM kana) is added and shaken for 6 h (37°C, 180 rpm) until the bacterial liquid becomes turbid. After PCR detection of the bacterial liquid, the positive single colony is sequenced, and the correct single colony is saved and the plasmid is extracted. When saving the bacterial liquid, 60% glycerol is mixed at a ratio of 1:1, mixed, and then stored at -80°C.

[0126] Plasmid extraction: 100 μl of the sequenced E. coli bacterial liquid is taken, 20 ml of fresh liquid LB medium (100 mM kana) is added, and it is cultured at 37°C, 180 rpm overnight. The plasmid is extracted using the Novizen plasmid extraction kit, and the extracted plasmid is stored after determining the concentration.

[0127] The sequencing results show that BraDMR1-401 is a recombinant expression vector in which the DMR1-pCBC-DT1T2 fragment shown in SEQ ID NO: 3 in the sequence table is replaced with the fragment between the Bsa I cleavage sites of the vector pKSE401, and the other sequences of the vector p6401 pKSE401 are kept unchanged. BraDMR1-401 expresses sgRNA1 (target sequence T1) and sgRNA2 (target sequence T2) targeting the BraDMR1 gene.

[0128] 4) Transformation of Agrobacterium

[0129] 1 μg of the extracted plasmid is added to 50 μl of Agrobacterium GV3101 competent cells, mixed, and then placed on ice for 10 min. It is frozen in liquid nitrogen for 5 min, immediately placed in a 37°C water bath for 5 min, taken out immediately and placed on ice for 5 min, and then fresh liquid LB medium is added and placed in a 28°C shaking incubator at 180 rpm for 2-3 h. 100 μl of the bacterial liquid is coated on a solid LB medium (100 mM kana, 50 mM rifampin) and placed in a 28°C incubator for dark culture. After 2 d, single colonies are picked and 1 ml of liquid LB medium (100 mM kana, 50 mM rifampin) is added and shaken for 24 h (28°C, 180 rpm) until the bacterial liquid becomes turbid. After PCR detection of the bacterial liquid, the positive single colony is saved.

[0130] 2.2, Obtaining of BraDMR1 knockout plants

[0131] The Agrobacterium carrying the BraDMR1-401 vector was used to infect the leaves of the rubber tree, and the transgenic plants were obtained by the following method:

[0132] 1) Seeding

[0133] The seeds were placed in a 10 ml centrifuge tube and about 5 ml of 75% ethanol was added, shaken for 45 s, and immediately all the alcohol was poured out in a clean bench, washed with cold sterile water for 3 times, added about 5 ml of sodium hypochlorite NaClO3, shaken for 8-10 min, immediately poured out all the liquid, washed with sterile water for 4-6 times, and then seeded on MS solid medium. After dark culture for 2 days, the seedlings were placed in a 16 h light and 8 h dark condition until the cotyledon fully expanded.

[0134] 2) Infection

[0135] After the cotyledon fully expanded, it was cut off and laid on MSO solid medium, and then infected with bacterial liquid after dark culture for 2 days. The bacterial liquid was directly poured into the petri dish with the laid cotyledon, shaken for 8-10 min, and then the bacterial liquid was absorbed, and then transferred to MS medium after dark culture for 2 days. Before infection, the Agrobacterium containing the BraDMR1-401 plasmid was cultured in liquid LB (kana 100 Mm, 50 mM rifampin, 100 μM AS) medium in a shaker (28°C, 180 rpm) to OD600=0.8-1.0, and then centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 10 min to collect the bacterial body, and then resuspended in liquid MSO medium (100 mg / ml NAA, 100 mg / ml 6-BA, 100 μM AS) to OD600=0.6.

[0136] 3) Screening culture

[0137] The infected cotyledon was transferred to MS medium, and the medium was replaced every 14 days or when the cotyledon turned yellow, until the regenerated seedlings appeared.

[0138] 4) Rooting

[0139] After the regenerated seedlings grew into strong root system, they were transplanted and planted.

[0140] 5) Planting

[0141] The root medium of the regenerated seedlings was completely removed, and then transplanted in a nutrient pot and bagged, and then the bag was gradually removed after the seedlings recovered.

[0142] The obtained gene edited plants were T0 generation, and T1 generation was obtained by selfing of T0 generation.

[0143] 2.3, Detection of knockout site of BraDMR1 knockout offspring

[0144] The obtained T1 generation of gene edited plants, disease material of wild type plants of Jia'erye, and disease resistant material 536 of wild type plants were sowed in 50-hole hole trays, DNA was extracted for PCR amplification, and the PCR products were sequenced for knockout site detection.

[0145] According to the sequencing results, three homozygous gene edited plants were obtained, which were named BraDMR1-CP1, BraDMR1-CP2 and BraDMR1-CP3 respectively. The results of knockout site detection of BraDMR1 in knockout strains are shown in Figure 3 Figure 3 Among them, Jia'erye is the wild type gene sequence before gene editing, and BraDMR1-CP1, BraDMR1-CP2 and BraDMR1-CP3 are the sequences after gene editing; however, since the gene is a reverse gene on the chromosome (the gene start site is located at the position 2310052, and the stop codon is located at the position 2308940), the sequence alignment is along the chromosome sequence (2308940 to 2310052), which is reverse complementary to the sequence of the gene (2310052 to 2308940).

[0146] The sequencing results show that:

[0147] Compared with Jia'erye wild type (Jia'erye), the BraDMR1 gene of BraDMR1-CP1 mutant is mutated to BraDMR1-1 gene. The BraDMR1-1 gene is a deletion of the 395th base (deoxynucleotide of C) in sequence 1 in the sequence table, and its coding sequence is a deletion of the base C at the 395th position in sequence 1 in the sequence table, resulting in a frameshift mutation and premature translation termination, thereby knocking out the BraDMR1 gene;

[0148] ​Compared with the wild type of Jiaer Ye (Jiaer Ye), the BraDMR1 gene of the BraDMR1-CP2 mutant is mutated into the BraDMR1-2 gene, the BraDMR1-2 gene is that the 343rd base (deoxynucleotide with base G) in sequence 1 in the sequence table is mutated into A (deoxynucleotide with base A), the 337th base (deoxynucleotide with base T) is mutated into C (deoxynucleotide with base C), the 336th base (deoxynucleotide with base T) is deleted, and the 313th base (deoxynucleotide with base C) is mutated into A (deoxynucleotide with base A), and the coding sequence is that the 343rd base (deoxynucleotide with base G) in sequence 1 in the sequence table is mutated into A (deoxynucleotide with base A), the 337th base (deoxynucleotide with base T) is mutated into C (deoxynucleotide with base C), the 336th base (deoxynucleotide with base T) is deleted, and the 313th base (deoxynucleotide with base C) is mutated into A (deoxynucleotide with base A), resulting in a frameshift mutation and premature translation termination, so as to knock out the BraDMR1 gene;

[0149] Compared with the wild type of Jiaer Ye (Jiaer Ye), the BraDMR1 gene of the BraDMR1-CP3 mutant is mutated into the BraDMR1-3 gene, the BraDMR1-3 gene is that the 313th base (deoxynucleotide with base C) in sequence 1 in the sequence table is deleted, and the coding sequence is that the 313th base (deoxynucleotide with base C) in sequence 1 in the sequence table is deleted, resulting in a frameshift mutation and premature translation termination, so as to knock out the BraDMR1 gene.

[0150] In the experiment, 100 T1 generation plants were identified, and only the above 3 homozygous knockout plants were screened out.

[0151] 2.4, Disease resistance identification of gene edited plants

[0152] T1 generation BraDMR1 knockout plants BraDMR1-CP1, BraDMR1-CP2 and BraDMR1-CP3, and non-knockout plants, wild type plants, disease-resistant material Jiaer Ye, wild type plants, and disease-resistant material 536 were inoculated with B. brassicae to identify disease resistance.

The B. brassicae inoculated on the cabbage for about 7 days was placed in an environment with humidity greater than 90% rh and darkness for 12 hours, and then the mold layer and B. brassicae spores were grown on the back of the leaf. After the B. brassicae spores were removed with a brush, they were suspended in water to prepare an infection liquid with a concentration of about 1.0x10 8 cfu.

[0154] Pathogen inoculation: The prepared pathogen suspension was sprayed on the back of all the leaves and cotyledons of the plants to be inoculated (genetically edited plants T1 generation BraDMR1-CP1, BraDMR1-CP2 and BraDMR1-CP3, Jia'erye wild type plants, disease-resistant material 536qian, T1 generation non-knockout plants), and placed in a 22℃, humidity greater than 90% rh, dark environment for 24h, and then placed in a 22℃, normal humidity, 16h light environment for 6d. On the 7th day, all the plants were placed in a 22℃, humidity greater than 90% rh, dark environment for 12h, and the resistance phenotype was observed. The resistance identification results were compared with the susceptible material wild type Jia'erye and the disease-resistant material 536qian.
