Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of plant genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a Caragana korshinskii beta-D-xylosidase gene and application thereof in promoting root growth, sugar transport, cell wall morphology change and stubble regeneration. BACKGROUND

[0002] Caragana korshinskii is a leguminous shrub widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions of northwest China. Local farmers often harvest its branches for firewood, and its twigs are often used as forage for cattle and sheep. Caragana korshinskii can adapt to dry environmental conditions, but as it ages, its water conductivity decreases year by year, photosynthesis weakens, nutrient accumulation slows down, and the degree of lignification increases. If not intervened artificially, its stress resistance will decrease and it will easily dry up and die. After the aboveground branches of Caragana korshinskii are cut off, it usually undergoes a regeneration process, rapidly generating multiple new sprouts at the rootstock junction, improving water conductivity, and rapidly accumulating nutrients in the regenerated sprouts and leaves. After 7-9 years of regrowth, its height and biomass can be restored. Stubble cutting is an important measure for the rational use of Caragana korshinskii biological resources and the protection of the environment. The applicant's research group has previously conducted a large amount of research on the physiological mechanism of Caragana korshinskii stubble cutting, and has elucidated the change rules of water use efficiency, photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate after stubble cutting of Caragana korshinskii, but the genetic and molecular mechanisms are still unclear.

[0003] Beta-D-xylosidase belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family and plays a crucial role in the decomposition of xylan and hemicellulose. The applicant screened differential expression genes after stubble cutting of Caragana korshinskii by transcriptome sequencing technology, and verified several key genes in the stubble regeneration process by qRT-PCR, and found that beta-D-xylosidase was significantly up-regulated at the transcriptional level. This may be related to the reuse of hemicellulose by beta-D-xylosidase to provide material and energy reserves for regeneration. The present application also constructs a plant expression vector of the stubble regeneration key gene beta-D-xylosidase and transforms model plants to verify the gene function. The present application aims to analyze the molecular mechanism of beta-D-xylosidase in promoting stubble regeneration of Caragana korshinskii, and to provide a basis for further screening of excellent germplasm and playing its ecological and production functions.

[0004] Problems existing in the prior art: There is no report on Caragana korshinskii beta-D-xylosidase gene and its function in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present application provides a Caragana korshinskii beta-D-xylosidase gene and application thereof in promoting root growth, sugar transport, cell wall morphology change and stubble regeneration. In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0006] 1. A Caragana β-D-xylosidase gene, wherein the full-length sequence of the β-D-xylosidase gene is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, and the transcript sequence of the β-D-xylosidase gene is shown in SEQ ID NO. 2.

[0010] 4. Application of overexpressing β-D-xylosidase genes to promote root growth, wherein the full-length sequence of the β-D-xylosidase gene is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, and the transcript sequence of the β-D-xylosidase gene is shown in SEQ ID NO. 2.

[0011] 5. Application of overexpressing β-D-xylosidase genes to change cell wall morphology, wherein the full-length sequence of the β-D-xylosidase gene is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, and the transcript sequence of the β-D-xylosidase gene is shown in SEQ ID NO. 2; and the change in cell wall morphology refers to reducing the thickness and density of the cell wall and increasing the number of pits.

[0012] 6. Application of overexpressing β-D-xylosidase genes to promote sugar transport after stubble, wherein the full-length sequence of the β-D-xylosidase gene is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, and the transcript sequence of the β-D-xylosidase gene is shown in SEQ ID NO. 2; and the sugar transport refers to transport from bottom to top, from the root to the rootstock connection.

[0013] 7. Application of overexpressing β-D-xylosidase genes to promote stubble regeneration, wherein the full-length sequence of the β-D-xylosidase gene is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, and the transcript sequence of the β-D-xylosidase gene is shown in SEQ ID NO. 2.

[0015] The beneficial effects are that the β-D-xylosidase gene of Caragana is cloned for the first time, and its biological functions of promoting root growth, sugar transport, cell wall morphology change, and stubble regeneration are clarified. Overexpression of the β-D-xylosidase gene has more vigorous growth ability, and the roots are longer than those of the wild type. After stubble, the β-D-xylosidase degrades polysaccharides in the root cell wall and transports upwards to provide energy for the regeneration process. The above functions of the β-D-xylosidase gene of Caragana are discovered for the first time, which provides a target gene for analyzing the stubble regeneration mechanism of Caragana and breeding high-quality Caragana.

[0089] 4. Phenotype and biochemical analysis of transgenic Arabidopsis

[0090] (1) β-D-xylosidase promotes root growth

[0091] As shown in Figure 8 , compared with the wild type, transgenic lines overexpressing β-D-xylosidase show better growth status and larger root length, indicating that the gene has a role in promoting plant growth and root development. β-D-xylosidase increases nutrient utilization, β-D-xylosidase promotes the decomposition of hemicellulose, which is the main component of plant cell wall. Improving carbon assimilation, xylose released by hemicellulose decomposition can be used as a carbon source for plants, and increased expression level of β-D-xylosidase may lead to faster release of xylose and subsequent plant assimilation, providing additional energy and carbon for the growth process. Enhance root configuration, the root length of transgenic lines indicates that the root configuration has changed, with the potential characteristics of increased branching or increased depth of roots into the soil. This improved root system can better absorb nutrients and water, promoting the overall growth and performance of the plant.

[0092] (2) β-D-xylosidase changes cell wall morphology

[0093] Overexpression of β-D-xylosidase gene in Arabidopsis has the potential for physiological and morphological changes. The main reason is the release of xylose by hemicellulose metabolism and cell wall remodeling. This leads to changes in cell wall, as well as changes in root growth and root hair. As shown in Figure 9 ​As shown in the root observation under scanning electron microscope, the cell wall porosity of the transgenic line roots was increased compared with the wild type. In the wild type, the root surface was smooth, while the root surface of the transgenic plants showed signs of degradation, with irregular pit formation, indicating that hemicellulose material was removed. This can change the permeability and ion exchange capacity of the root cell wall, potentially affecting the absorption and transport processes of nutrients. As shown in Figure 10 As shown in the transmission electron microscope observation, the wild type Arabidopsis root cell wall structure was complete, with large electron density and uniform thickness; while the root cell wall of the β-D-xylosidase gene overexpression Arabidopsis was uneven in thickness, with small electron density and varying degrees of degradation.

[0094] (3) β-D-xylosidase promotes sugar transport after mowing

[0095] As shown in Figure 11 As shown in A, the total sugar content of the control group and the mowing treatment for 3d of Arabidopsis root stem junction (Stem-root junction) and root middle (Root) tissue was determined. Due to the small sample size, 40 samples were mixed for each biological repeat, and a total of 120 samples were used in each group. The total sugar content was determined using the Shanghai Biosciences total sugar content detection kit (D799167) according to the instructions. As shown in Figure 11 As shown in B, the total sugar content of the root stem junction of the β-D-xylosidase gene overexpression line was significantly increased, and the total sugar content of the root middle was decreased, indicating that the total sugar in the root was transported to the root stem junction, and the enrichment of the total sugar content in the root stem junction was beneficial to the energy preparation for mowing regeneration.

[0096] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, and it should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
