Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of bioengineering technology, and relates to a gene for promoting tomato fruit ripening and a method for regulating the same, and in particular to a gene SlIMP3 encoding a tomato nuclear import protein, and the application of the gene in promoting tomato fruit ripening. Background Art
[0002] Tomato fruit is rich in vitamin C, lycopene, and a small amount of phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients needed by the human body. It has the advantages of sweet and sour taste, easy processing, and can be propagated by seeds or asexually propagated by top and tender branch cuttings. As a popular fruit and vegetable crop, tomatoes account for a large proportion of the number of tomatoes supplied to the fruit and vegetable market each year, but their fruit growth cycle is long. Therefore, promoting early maturity of tomatoes is of great significance for shortening the fruit cultivation cycle and resisting the risks of plant planting and sales. At the same time, it can also make tomato fruits go on the market earlier, increase market sales prices, and increase production benefits. Tomato has a clear genetic background and is a model plant that can be used for fruit development research. Because its mutant materials are easy to obtain and can be used for production research, tomatoes have become ideal plants for gene editing materials. Crispr / Cas9-mediated gene editing technology has been applied in tomatoes. Therefore, tomatoes are widely used in the study of gene functions, especially gene functions related to fruit development, including the study of the mechanism of fruit development and ripening. The study of fruit ripening is crucial to revealing the mechanism of fruit development and helps to increase yield and optimize quality.
[0003] Recent studies have found that H 2 As a gas signal molecule in plants, S can participate in a variety of physiological processes in plants and delay the maturation and aging of a variety of fruits and vegetables. Studies have shown that cysteine desulfhydrylase LCD1 is a mediator of endogenous H 2 LCD1 deficiency accelerates the ripening and aging process of tomato fruit. Previous laboratory studies have found that LCD1 is localized in the cell nucleus. Yeast two-hybrid experiments and luciferase complementation experiments have found that there is an interaction between LCD1 and nuclear import protein importinα3. Nuclear import protein importinα3 is a key protein involved in mediating LCD1 into the cell nucleus. It is not clear whether importinα3 regulates tomato fruit ripening by mediating LCD1 nuclear localization.
[0004] During the process of ripening and aging, tomato fruit undergoes metabolism of various substances, and pigment metabolism is the most significant feature of this stage. The change in fruit pigment deposition is due to the degradation of chlorophyll and the accumulation of carotenoids in cells. The ripening process of tomato fruit is mainly divided into three stages: green ripening stage, color breaking stage and red ripening stage. The genes encoding enzymes related to the chlorophyll degradation pathway in tomato fruit include: chlorophyll b reductase (NYC1), pheophytinase (PPH), pheophorbide a oxygenase (PAO) and stay-green protein (SGR1). Studies have successfully identified three key genes in the carotenoid metabolic pathway in tomatoes, namely, the gene PSY encoding phytoenease, the gene PDS encoding phytoene dehydrogenase and the gene ZDS encoding carotene dehydrogenase. PSY regulates the synthesis of carotenoids in tomato fruit, and PDS and ZDS are the downstream key genes in its metabolic pathway. Summary of the invention
