Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of plant genetic engineering and biotechnology, and relates to the method and application of site-directed mutagenesis of the BnaA06G0083400WE gene in Brassica napus. In particular, it relates to a method and application of creating dwarfing materials of Brassica napus using CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Plant height directly affects a crop's lodging resistance and yield potential, making it one of the important indicators in modern crop breeding and the breeding of ideal plant types. Dwarfing breeding is an important part of the Green Revolution, which began with the wheat breeding revolution initiated by Norman Borlaug in 1950. The discovery and application of the rice semi-dwarf gene sd1 and wheat Rht8 were milestones in this revolution. Subsequently, dwarfing breeding work was carried out on crops such as rice, corn, and cucumber.

[0003] Currently, over 90% of rapeseed varieties in my country's main rapeseed producing areas are Brassica napus type, with over 36% having a plant height exceeding 180cm and only 11% below 160cm. Excessive plant height easily leads to lodging, insensitivity to fertilizer, and unsuitability for mechanized operations, making it a significant factor restricting mechanized rapeseed production. After lodging, the number of seeds per pod decreases by 17.5%, and seed yield drops by 16.2%. Simultaneously, the difficulty and damage rate of mechanized harvesting increase, resulting in reduced yield. Currently, several researchers have obtained some intermediate dwarf rapeseed materials through mutagenesis and spontaneous mutation, but due to factors such as excessively short plants, weak pre-winter growth, self-incompatibility of dwarf plants, and severe diseases, dwarf rapeseed with excellent agronomical traits has not yet been successfully applied in production. Therefore, breeding dwarf or semi-dwarf rapeseed varieties and conducting genetic analysis is of great significance for improving mechanized rapeseed harvesting. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a method and application for creating dwarfing materials of Brassica napus using gene editing technology, which can provide valuable genetic and germplasm resources for rapeseed breeding, especially Brassica napus breeding.

[0005] Before conducting the experiments of this invention, the inventors carried out a great deal of research and summarization.

[0006] Lesion-mimicking mutants are a class of mutants that spontaneously develop programmed cell death on leaves, mimicking the effects of pathogen infection, even without significant adverse conditions, damage, or pathogen infestation. These mutants are widely found in plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana, rice, maize, sorghum, wheat, barley, and peanut. These mutants exhibit local and systemic resistance to many pathogens while undergoing programmed cell death. It has been reported that many lesion-mimicking mutants are typically dwarfed. For example, the lesion-mimicking mutant ssi4 exhibits dwarfism and spontaneous cell death; the mutation of chs3-2D triggers immune activation, and the lesion-mimicking mutant chs3-2D leads to extreme dwarfism and activation of the defense response; the lesion-mimicking mutant bir1-1 exhibits an extreme dwarfism phenotype, spontaneous cell death, and a defense response; the T-DNA insertion mutant of calmodulin-binding activator of transcription (CAMTA)3 exhibits enhanced disease resistance and dwarfism when grown at low temperatures; in addition, the lesion-mimicking mutants bon1 and snc4-1D, snc2-1D, mkk1 mkk2, bir1-1, ssi4, cpr22, and slh1 all exhibit varying degrees of dwarfism.

[0007] The tyrosine degradation pathway was first discovered in animals and bacteria. This metabolic pathway involves degradation through five steps, culminating in the final step where fumarate acetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) forms acetoacetic acid and fumaric acid, which then enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle for complete breakdown. Genes and enzymes involved in the typical tyrosine degradation pathway have been identified in Arabidopsis thaliana, and their respective catalytic activities in vitro have been demonstrated. The inventors screened and identified a mutant, sscd1 (short-day sensitive celldeath1), in Arabidopsis thaliana that forms lesion-like spots under short-day conditions. This mutant shows no significant difference from wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana under long-day conditions; however, under short-day conditions, without pathogen infection, it develops localized necrotic-like lesions on the leaves. The SSCD1 gene, encoding FAH, has been isolated and identified using map-based cloning.

[0008] This invention utilizes CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing technology to edit the sixth exon of the FAH gene BnaA06G0083400WE in Brassica napus, resulting in dwarfed Brassica napus. As an allotetraploid crop, Brassica napus has a complex genome with numerous homologous copies, often exhibiting gene redundancy and additive effects between different homologous copies. Mutagenesis breeding suffers from significant limitations; the direction and nature of mutations cannot be controlled, resulting in few beneficial mutations and poor improvement of quantitative traits. Therefore, using CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing technology, which features simple vector construction and high targeting specificity, for targeted gene editing is an effective way to achieve targeted trait improvement and cultivate new materials. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of the present invention provides a method for creating dwarfing materials of Brassica napus using gene editing technology. The method involves editing the BnaA06G0083400WE gene of Brassica napus using CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing technology to obtain dwarfing materials of Brassica napus (edited mutant materials).

[0010] The nucleotide sequence of the coding gene mutant of the Brassica napus dwarfing material is SEQ ID NO.1.

[0011] Furthermore, the method includes the following specific steps:

[0012] (1) Construction of the CRISPR / Cas9 expression vector for the BnaA06G0083400WE gene in Brassica napus:

[0013] 1) Selection of sgRNA target sites:

[0014] The sgRNA target site was designed based on the structure and homology of different copies of the BnaA06G0083400WE gene in Brassica napus Westar, using the CRISPRdirect website. The nucleotide sequence is as follows:

[0015] SEQ ID NO.2: 5'-agaggtcaaggccatccacaagg-3', named sgR-BnaA06G0083400WE;

[0016] 2) Primer design and PCR amplification:

[0017] The primer sequences are as follows:

[0018] SEQ ID NO.3(sgR-BnaA06G0083400WE-F): 5'-cagtGGTCTCagtcaagaggtcaaggccatccaca-3';

[0019] SEQ ID NO.4(sgR-BnaA06G0083400WE-R): 5'-cagtGGTCTCaaaactgtggatggccttgacctct-3';

[0020] The PCR amplification process is as follows: PCR reaction is performed in a 50 μL system, with upstream and downstream primers mixed, and the mixture is denatured and annealed using a PCR instrument to obtain gRNA fragments (double-stranded DNA); in this technical solution, since the target sequence is relatively short, the target sequence can be obtained simply by denaturation and annealing.

[0021] 3) Construction of CRISPR / Cas9 expression vector and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation:

[0022] The gRNA fragment obtained in step 2) was ligated with the CRISPR / Cas9 plasmid digested with BsaI / Eco31I using T4 ligase. The ligation product was then transformed into E. coli DH5α and screened with antibiotics. Colony PCR identification and sequencing verification were performed to obtain the expression vector.

[0023] The vector containing sgRNA was transformed into Agrobacterium and colony PCR was performed to verify the Agrobacterium strain containing the expression vector.

[0024] (2) Obtaining and identifying the CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing mutant of the BnaA06G0083400WE gene in Brassica napus:

[0025] 1) The pre-cultured hypocotyls were placed in a suspension of Agrobacterium containing the expression vector to induce callus. The hypocotyls that produced callus were transferred to a medium for inducing embryogenic callus formation to induce embryogenic cells. The differentiation and screening of rapeseed genetically transformed seedlings were carried out simultaneously. The corresponding antibiotics were added to the differentiation medium. The seedlings were divided into primary screening and secondary screening. After obtaining positive seedlings, the seedlings were cultured for rooting.

[0026] 2) The CRISPR / Cas9 expression vector in positive Brassica napus seedlings was detected by PCR, and the editing status of the BnaA06G0083400WE gene in CRISPR / Cas9 gene-edited plants was detected by sequencing.

[0027] (3) Verify the differences in cell death and plant height between CRISPR / Cas9 gene-edited mutants of Brassica napus Westar and BnaA06G0083400WE genes.

[0028] Furthermore, the nucleotide sequence of the sgRNA target site is selected from the sixth exon region of the BnaA06G0083400WE gene in Brassica napus Westar.

[0029] Furthermore, the antibiotic is chloramphenicol.

[0030] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an application of the method for creating dwarfing materials of Brassica napus using gene editing technology in rapeseed breeding.

[0031] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0032] This invention utilizes CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing technology to edit the sixth exon of the BnaA06G0083400WE gene in Brassica napus, resulting in dwarf Brassica napus, which can provide valuable genetic and germplasm resources for Brassica napus breeding.

[0033] The method of this invention utilizes the CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing technology, which has simple vector construction and high targeting specificity, to perform targeted gene editing. It has strong characteristics and is easy to obtain, making it an effective way to improve target traits and cultivate new materials. Attached Figure Description

[0071] The validated recombinant plasmid was transformed into Agrobacterium GV3101 using the CaCl2 freeze-thaw method. Single colonies of Agrobacterium that had been verified by colony PCR were selected and cultured at 28°C and 220 rpm for 18–24 h with shaking. The bacterial suspension was centrifuged at 6000g for 2 min to activate the bacteria, the supernatant was discarded, and the bacterial suspension was resuspended in Agrobacterium suspension (5% sucrose + 1 / 2 MS + 0.02% Silwet-L77 + 0.01% 6-BA) to OD200. 600 Between 0.6 and 1.0.

[0072] 7. Genetic transformation of Brassica napus using CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing vectors

[0073] (1) Prepare materials

[0074] Explant preparation: Rapeseed seeds were soaked in 75% ethanol for 1 min, rinsed once with sterile water, then soaked in 0.15% HgCl2 for 10-15 min, and rinsed 4-5 times with sterile water for 5 min each time. After sterilization, they were sown in 1 / 2 MS (or MS) medium and placed in the dark for 4-5 days (germination of new seeds differs from that of old seeds). Hypocotyls were pre-cultured in medium for 2-3 days. Tissue culture conditions were: photoperiod of 16 h / d and temperature of 25 ± 2℃.

[0075] (2) Genetic transformation of explants

[0076] Place the pre-cultured hypocotyl in an Agrobacterium suspension and infect for 8-10 minutes. Then, use sterile filter paper to absorb the Agrobacterium suspension from the surface of the hypocotyl.

[0077] (3) Co-culture of explants and Agrobacterium

[0078] Place the surface-dried hypocotyls in a co-culture medium and incubate in the dark at 25°C for 2-3 days. After infection, blot off excess bacterial solution with sterile filter paper.

[0079] (4) Callus induction

[0080] After co-culture, the hypocotyls were transferred to callus induction medium, with a photoperiod of 16 h / d, and cultured for 5-7 days.

[0081] (5) Induction of embryonic cells

[0082] The hypocotyls that produced callus were transferred to a medium that induces embryogenic callus formation. The callus induced by the hypocotyls slowly turned green, and the induction time was 5-7 days.

[0083] (6) Differentiation and selection

[0084] Differentiation and screening of rapeseed genetically transformed seedlings are carried out simultaneously. Appropriate antibiotics are added to the differentiation medium, and the process is divided into primary screening and secondary screening. The primary screening stage is in the early stage of differentiation, and the antibiotic concentration is low. After the differentiated seedlings elongate, the antibiotic concentration is increased, and this stage is the secondary screening. This can screen out false positive seedlings before testing, improve the positive rate, and reduce the workload in the later stages.

[0085] (7) Rooting of seedlings

[0086] The antibiotic chloramphenicol was added to the rooting medium, and the differentiated seedlings were screened again.

[0087] Example 2: Identification of CRISPR / Cas9 gene-editing mutants of the BnaA06G0083400WE gene in Brassica napus

[0088] Take 0.5cm 2 Positive leaves of Brassica napus obtained from screening were ground, and the ground sample solution was used as a DNA template for PCR amplification. Agarose gel electrophoresis was used to determine the number of positive seedlings and the positive rate. The amplified product was excised and purified, and its quality and concentration were measured. The product was then sent to Shanghai Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd. for sequencing to detect the editing of the BnaA06G0083400WE gene. The sequencing results of the edited mutant material (CRISPR / Cas9-BnaA06G0083400WE) and the Blast comparison results with the Wesatr BnaA06G0083400WE gene are shown below. Figure 1 As shown, from Figure 1 The comparison results show that the selected rapeseed is a homozygous mutant with the missing base TCCA.

[0089] Example 3: Verification of the effect of gene editing of BnaA06G0083400WE on plant height in Brassica napus

[0090] Sequencing revealed a homozygous edited mutant of rapeseed with the sixth exon of the BnaA06G0083400WE gene edited. This homozygous mutant exhibited a deletion of the TCCA base at the target site. The amino acid sequence of this gene is shown in SEQ ID NO.1. A comparison with the normal BnaA06G0083400WE gene is shown below. Figure 2 As shown.

[0091] The homozygous mutant was compared with the wild-type Westar plant, such as Figure 3 As shown in A and 3B. From Figure 3It can be seen that, compared with the wild-type Westar, the homozygous mutant is significantly shorter and has more branches. This indicates that the present invention, by using CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing technology to edit the BnaA06G0083400WE gene of Brassica napus, obtained dwarfing materials (homozygous mutant materials) of Brassica napus.

[0092] Finally, it should be emphasized that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
