Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, specifically a plant silique-specific promoter. Background Technology

[0002] In angiosperms, flowering is a crucial turning point in the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth. Flowering induction is regulated by genetic pathways such as photoperiod, temperature, vernalization, and spontaneous flowering. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the florallin gene FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) serves as a key hub for several major flowering regulatory pathways. The transcriptional regulation of the FT gene integrates core flowering regulatory pathways, including the photoperiod pathway, vernalization pathway, gibberellin pathway, and spontaneous pathway.

[0003] Fragrance-inducing protein (FT) plays a conserved biological role in regulating flowering in various plants. FT protein is expressed in the vascular tissue of leaves and can be transported long distances to the shoot apex to induce flowering. Studies have found that the FT gene is highly expressed in fruit, but the key cis-regulatory elements that control its expression remain unclear. Furthermore, FT plays an important role in inhibiting flower reversal and promoting inflorescence primordium stability; FT and its homologs play a crucial role in regulating yield in crops such as tomato. However, the expression regulation mechanism and biological function of the FT gene in the model plant silique remain unclear after flowering induction. Therefore, functional identification and analysis of FT promoters specifically expressed in siliques are crucial. Summary of the Invention

[0005] a) The 3′ end contains at least nucleotides 1801-3300 of sequence 1 in the sequence listing, and extends from position 1802 of sequence 1 to the 5′ end of sequence 1 according to the nucleotide sequence of sequence 1 to obtain any DNA fragment of length from 1500 to 3300 bp; the DNA molecule has promoter function;

[0006] b) A DNA fragment that has 75% or more identity with the nucleotide sequence defined in a) and has promoter function;

[0007] c) A DNA fragment that hybridizes to the nucleotide sequence defined in a) or b) under strict conditions and has promoter function.

[0073] 2. Construction of the recombinant vector

[0074] The four PCR products obtained in step 1 were used to prepare BP reaction systems according to the following configurations. The resulting systems were incubated at 25°C for 1 hour, and 1 μL of Proteinase K (Sigma, P2308) was added. After mixing by pipetting, the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. Subsequently, the products were transformed into competent *E. coli* cells using the heat shock method. After recovery, the cells were plated on LB agarose gel (50 μg / mL, Gentamycin). After 12-14 hours, single colonies were picked for colony PCR to screen for positive clones. After confirming the correct band size by agarose gel electrophoresis, the clones were sent to a sequencing company for first-generation sequencing. The target vectors of the correctly sequenced positive clones were extracted; these are the entry vectors.

Subsequently, the cells were transformed into competent *E. coli* cells using the heat shock method. After recovery, the cells were plated on LB agar (50 μg / mL, Kanamycin). After 12-14 hours, single colonies were selected for colony PCR to screen for positive clones. After confirming the correct band size by agarose gel electrophoresis, the cells were sent to a sequencing company for first-generation sequencing. The target vector from the correctly sequenced positive clones was extracted; this was the desired recombinant vector.

[0079]

[0080] Among them, BP Clonase TM II enzyme mix, product number 11789-020, LR Clonase TM II enzymemix, catalog number 11791-020, is a product of Invitrogen; pDONOR vector is a product of Invitrogen; the sequence of pGreen-GW-GUS is shown in Sequence 2 of the sequence listing.

[0081] The recombinant vectors obtained from PCR products of 1.5kb, 2.0kb, 2.7kb, and 3.3kb were designated as 1.5kbSSEp::GUS, 2.0kbSSEp::GUS, 2.7kbSSEp::GUS, and 3.3kbSSEp::GUS, respectively. The 1.5kbSSEp::GUS vector contains the DNA fragment shown in positions 1801-3300 of sequence 1 in the sequence listing (designated as 1.5kb-DNA). This 1.5kb-DNA is located upstream of the GUS gene and can drive GUS gene expression. The 2.0kbSSEp::GUS vector contains the DNA fragment shown in positions 1301-3300 of sequence 1 in the sequence listing (designated as 2.0kb-DNA).

[0082] 3. Obtaining transgenic plants

[0083] 3.1 Agrobacterium-mediated transformation

[0084] Pre-cool the electroporation cuvette to -20℃, wipe the moisture off both electrodes, add 100μL of freshly prepared Agrobacterium GV3101 electroporation competent cells, and take 500μg of each of the 1.5kbSSEp::GUS, 2.0kbSSEp::GUS, 2.7kbSSEp::GUS, or 3.3kbSSEp::GUS obtained in step 2, along with pSOUP plasmid, at a 1:1 ratio. Add these plasmids to the gaps between the electrodes of the pre-cooled electroporation cuvette, gently tap away air bubbles with your fingertips, and electroporate using the preset Agrobacterium electroporation program. Immediately after electroporation, add 1mL of LB liquid medium to resuspend the cells, and aspirate the bacterial solution from the electroporation cuvette. Transfer the solution to a 1.5mL centrifuge tube and incubate at 28℃ and 200rpm for 2-3 hours. After resuscitation, the culture was plated on LB agar (50 μg / mL Kanamycin, 50 μg / mL Rifampicin, 5 μg / mL Tetracycline). After 12-14 hours, single colonies were selected for colony PCR to screen for positive clones. After confirming the band size was correct by agarose gel electrophoresis, the bacterial culture was mixed with 60% glycerol at a ratio of 1:1, flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80°C. Recombinant bacteria containing 1.5 kbSSEp::GUS, 2.0 kbSSEp::GUS, 2.7 kbSSEp::GUS, or 3.3 kbSSEp::GUS were designated as GV3101 / 1.5 kbSSEp::GUS, GV3101 / 2.0 kbSSEp::GUS, GV3101 / 2.7 kbSSEp::GUS, and GV3101 / 3.3 kbSSEp::GUS, respectively.

[0085] 3.2 Transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana by flower soaking method

[0086] Plants of Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Col-0 that are in full bloom were selected, and Arabidopsis thaliana were transformed by the recombinant bacteria obtained in step 3.1 using the flower immersion method. The plants were cultured under long-day conditions (16 hours of light, 22°C, 8 hours of darkness, 18°C) until the seeds matured. The seeds were then harvested to obtain T1 seeds.

[0087] 3.3 Screening of positive transgenic plants

[0088] A large number of T1 generation plants were sown, and leaves were harvested at the 6-8 leaf stage for PCR identification to determine if they were positive transgenic plants. After the positive transgenic plants grew normally and matured, T2 generation seeds were harvested from each plant. Approximately 100 T2 generation seeds were sown using the same method, and the ratio of surviving to dead plants was counted. Lines with a surviving:dead plant ratio of 3:1 were selected; these are single-copy insertion plants, and T3 generation seeds were harvested from them. The same method was used to test all surviving lines in the T3 generation; these are homozygous single-copy insertion transgenic lines.

[0089] The single-copy insertion transgenic line obtained using GV3101 / 1.5kbSSEp::GUS is designated as 1.5kbSSEp::GUS / Col-0, the single-copy insertion transgenic line obtained using GV3101 / 2.0kbSSEp::GUS is designated as 2.0kbSSEp::GUS / Col-0, the single-copy insertion transgenic line obtained using GV3101 / 2.7kbSSEp::GUS is designated as 2.7kbSSEp::GUS / Col-0, and the single-copy insertion transgenic line obtained using GV3101 / 3.3kbSSEp::GUS is designated as 3.3kbSSEp::GUS / Col-0.

[0090] 4. GUS identification of transgenic plants

[0091] Stem leaves and siliques of T3 generation 1.5kbSSEp::GUS / Col-0, 2.0kbSSEp::GUS / Col-0, 2.7kbSSEp::GUS / Col-0, and 3.3kbSSEp::GUS / Col-0 were stained with GUS, with Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 as a control.

[0092] result( Figure 1 The results showed that GUS staining signals were undetectable in the stems and leaves of all four transgenic Arabidopsis species, but were detected in the siliques. GUS staining signals were also present on the septa and carpels, with deeper staining at the junction of the silique and the parent plant. This indicates that the 1.5kb, 2.0kb, 2.7kb, and 3.3kb DNA fragments are silique-specific promoters.
