Description

Technical Field:

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of rice breeding and relates to a gene LOC_Os01g12160 that regulates rice salt tolerance and its application. Background Art:

[0002] Global soil salinization is increasing day by day due to multiple factors such as industrial pollution and abuse of chemical fertilizers. Increasing the salt tolerance of rice is of great significance for improving the production potential of rice, promoting the utilization of saline-alkali land, and ensuring food security. The salt tolerance of rice refers to the ability of rice to maintain normal growth until filling and seed setting to form a yield under salt stress. Improving the salt tolerance of rice through genetic improvement and cultivating salt-tolerant rice varieties is one of the effective ways to ensure food safety production in saline-alkali rice-growing areas and improve the ecological environment.

[0003] In view of this, the present invention is specifically proposed. Summary of the Invention:

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide the function of the LOC_Os01g12160 gene in regulating rice salt tolerance, and to provide technical support for improving rice salt tolerance by using the LOC_Os01g12160 gene.

[0005] The first object of the present invention is to provide a LOC_Os01g12160 gene that regulates salt tolerance, and the nucleotide sequence of the LOC_Os01g12160 gene is shown in SEQ ID NO.1.

[0006] The present invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned LOC_Os01g12160 gene in regulating rice salt tolerance.

[0007] Preferably, it is the application of knocking out the LOC_Os01g12160 gene in increasing rice salt tolerance.

[0008] The second object of the present invention is to provide a method for improving rice salt tolerance, which is to knock out the LOC_Os01g12160 gene in rice.

[0009] Preferably, for knocking out the LOC_Os01g12160 gene in rice, the knockout target is: GGCGGCGTCGAGTACCTCCGGGG.

[0010] The third object of the present invention is to provide the application of the LOC_Os01g12160 gene in rice breeding.

[0011] Preferably, the application in rice breeding is the application in improving rice salt tolerance.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] (1) The present invention provides the function of the LOC_Os01g12160 gene in regulating the salt tolerance of rice. We demonstrated through transgenic experiments that the LOC_Os01g12160 gene can regulate the salt tolerance of rice.

[0014] (2) Currently, the mechanism related to rice salt tolerance is still unclear. The LOC_Os01g12160 gene knockout lines in the present invention have improved salt tolerance after salt stress. Therefore, the application of knocking out the LOC_Os01g12160 gene in improving the salt tolerance of rice is provided. Description of the Drawings:

Detailed Embodiments:

[0018] The following examples are further illustrations of the present invention, rather than limitations thereof. The specific experimental conditions and methods were not specified in the following examples, and the technical means used were conventional means well-known to those skilled in the art.

[0019] Example 1: Construction of the LOC_Os01g12160 Gene Knockout Lines

[0020] The nucleotide sequence of the LOC_Os01g12160 gene is shown in SEQ ID NO.1. We designed the gene knockout target as: GGCGGCGTCGAGTACCTCCGGGG. The transgenic vector was constructed with reference to the publicly published CRISPR / Cas9 system (Xingliang, Ma. "A Robust CRISPR / Cas9 System for Convenient, High-Efficiency Multiplex Genome Editing in Monocot and Dicot Plants." Molecular Plant 8.8 (2015): 1274-1284.). The constructed knockout vector was transformed into Agrobacterium BGK03, and then the Agrobacterium was used to infect and transform the callus tissue of ZH11, and the obtained transgenic strain was separated by breeding. Primers (5'-GAACGTCTGGAACGCGAG GA-3', 5'-GCGACGAGGAGTACTAGGGT-3') were used to detect gene editing, and the sequence of the control material ZH11 was compared to obtain the transgenic lines with homozygous knockout of the LOC_Os01g12160 gene. The two knockout lines were jar2-1 and jar2-2. jar2-1 lacked 2bp at the target site, and jar2-2 lacked 10bp at the target site ( Figure 1 ).

[0021] Example 2: Effect of LOC_Os01g12160 gene on the survival rate of rice seedlings under salt stress

[0022] Select the plump, normal, and disease-free rice seeds of the control ZH11 and the knockout strains (jar2-1 and jar2-2), and sow them aseptically in 1 / 2MS culture medium. After 10 days, select the seedlings with consistent growth and place them in seedling boxes and culture them with 1X Kimura B nutrient solution. After the seedlings adapt, treat them with 200mM mol / L NaCl solution + 1X Kimura B nutrient solution for 5 days. After treatment, use 1X Kimura B nutrient solution to recover. During this period, the nutrient solution is replaced every 2-3 days. After 14 days of recovery, the survival rate is calculated. Four independent biological replicates were set up for the control and knockout strains, and all seedling boxes were placed in a constant temperature incubator (Ningbo Jiangnan Instrument Factory, temperature 28±1℃, humidity 75%±5%) for culture. Figure 2 The survival rate statistics showed that the survival rates of jar2-1 and jar2-2 were significantly improved compared with ZH11.

[0023] Example 3: Effect of LOC_Os01g12160 gene on seedling height and fresh weight under salt stress

[0024] According to the same method as above, the bud length and fresh weight of the seedlings of the control and knockout lines were counted. From Figure 3 The statistical results showed that under salt stress, the bud lengths of jar2-1 and jar2-2 increased by 13% and 20% respectively compared with the control ZH11, and the fresh weights increased by 23% and 30% respectively compared with the control ZH11. It indicates that the LOC_Os01g12160 gene regulates the salt tolerance of rice.
