[0030] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 , the technical solution of the present invention is further explained:

[0031] A method for genetic transformation of Quercus variabilis mediated by Agrobacterium rhizogenes comprises the following steps:

[0032] S1, such as Figure 1 As shown, first, Quercus variabilis seedlings are cultivated by Quercus variabilis seeds. That is, first, the Quercus variabilis seeds are sown after germination, and the explants to be infected are cut after culturing for 30-40 days; that is, the selected glossy, plump and large good seeds are subjected to germination treatment, soaked in 40℃ warm water, cooled naturally, repeated twice, soaked for a total of 48 hours, and then the seeds floating on the surface are removed, covered with a wet towel to keep moisture, placed at 25℃ room temperature for germination, and sown in 3-6mm vermiculite soaked with water when the chest breaks and the white is exposed, watered once every 3 days, and placed in a greenhouse at 25℃, 16h light, 8h dark for 30-40 days, until the Quercus variabilis seedlings grow to four leaf stem segments, providing explants for subsequent infection.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, after the Quercus variabilis seedlings grow to four stem segments with leaves, they can be cut and different parts of the Quercus variabilis seedlings can be cut separately as infection explants.

[0034] That is to say, in this embodiment, different parts of the cork oak seedlings include the first leafy young stem segment G1, the second leafy young stem segment G2, the third leafy young stem segment G3, the fourth leafy young stem segment G4 and the hypocotyl, wherein the first leafy stem segment (the top bud part, G1), the second leafy stem segment (G2), the third leafy stem segment (G3), and the fourth leafy stem segment (G4) are all cut, and the hypocotyl is a stem segment that is not cut and only has a cut wound at the junction of the root and stem, and then is smeared with bacterial solution for infection.

[0035] In the study of the induction process of positive callus and transgenic hairy roots, it was found that the stem segments of Quercus variabilis seedlings at different developmental stages (10 days, 20 days, 30 days, and 40 days after whitening) showed different growth results. As can be seen from Table 1, at 10 days and 20 days, the explants of Quercus variabilis seedlings were relatively young and tender, and the cutting treatment would cause them to die after infection with bacteria. After 30 days, the explants gradually became lignified, which was conducive to the explants being infected with Agrobacterium rhizogenes without affecting their own in vitro growth to form positive callus or transgenic hairy roots. However, the first leafy stem segment (S1) was too young and tender, and the cutting treatment would cause them to die after infection with bacteria. The third leafy stem segment (S3) and the fourth leafy stem segment (S4) were severely lignified and could not be infected by Agrobacterium rhizogenes. After in vitro, the cut bevel showed browning and died. The hypocotyl was severely lignified, and Agrobacterium rhizogenes could not infect and enter. However, since the main root was not cut, it did not affect nutrient absorption, and they grew normally but did not produce transgenic hairy roots. Therefore, the second leafy stem segment (S2) of Quercus variabilis seedlings grown in the greenhouse for 30-40 days after whitening is the most suitable explant material for Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated genetic transformation of Quercus variabilis.

[0037]

[0038]

[0039] S2. Resuscitating the Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain. That is, the method for resuscitating the Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain includes streaking the expression vector K599 Agrobacterium rhizogenes containing the 35S::RUBY reporter gene on a TY solid medium containing 30 mg / L kanamycin and 30 mg / L streptomycin, culturing overnight to obtain a single colony, picking a single colony on a TY liquid medium containing 30 mg / L kanamycin and 30 mg / L streptomycin, inoculating the single colony on the TY liquid medium, culturing in the dark at 28°C and 220 rpm in a shaker for 12-16 hours until the bacteria enter logarithmic growth, and then expanding the bacteria that have undergone primary culture.

[0040] It should be noted that the TY liquid culture medium in this embodiment is TY liquid culture medium (TY Medium) purchased on the market, adjusted to 9.11 g / L by adding water.

[0041] TY solid medium: TY liquid medium (TY Medium) purchased from the market, add water to adjust to 9.11g / L, and add 15g agar powder per liter.

[0042] The main reagents include:

[0043] Stock solution: kanamycin (kana) 30 mg / mL, streptomycin (strep) 30 mg / mL.

[0044] Working solution: kanamycin (kana) 30mg / mL, streptomycin (strep) 30mg / mL.

[0045] It should be noted that the hormone involved in the present invention has water as solvent and needs to be filtered with a 0.22 μm sterile filter membrane after preparation and then packaged in 1.5 mL centrifuge tubes and stored at -20°C.

[0046] Specifically, the revived Agrobacterium rhizogenes is expanded and cultured to obtain an infection solution, wherein the Agrobacterium rhizogenes is K599 and the vector has a 35S:: Ruby reporter gene. That is, there are two ways to expand the primary cultured Agrobacterium rhizogenes, namely solid culture and liquid culture.

[0047] It should be noted that if Figure 6As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the target plasmid is 35S::RUBY. The target plasmid refers to a plasmid that can express a functional gene. In some embodiments, the method for expanding the culture of Agrobacterium rhizogenes includes taking the initial culture to reach OD 600 = 1.0, 100 μl of bacterial solution was inoculated into TY solid medium, spread, and continued to be cultured in the dark at 28°C, 0 rpm in a shaker for 12-16 hours until the surface of the medium was evenly covered with solid bacteria, and then used for solid infection. In other words, this expansion culture method uses TY solid medium for expansion culture.

[0048] In some embodiments, the method for expanding the culture of Agrobacterium rhizogenes comprises taking a preliminary culture to reach OD 600 = 1.0, 200 μl of the bacterial solution was inoculated into 200 mL of TY liquid medium, and the culture was continued in a dark incubator at 28°C and 220 rpm for 12-16 h until the bacterial solution concentration OD 600 =1.0, for liquid infection. That is, this expansion culture method uses TY liquid culture medium for expansion culture.

[0049] S3. Infect the explants at different positions with Agrobacterium rhizogenes at the incisions and plant them in the vermiculite matrix; that is, in this embodiment, four infection methods can be selected for the explant incisions, specifically, solid smearing method, liquid immersion method, liquid vacuum method or liquid injection method.

[0050] The solid smearing method includes cutting off the first leafy stem segment (top bud, G1), the second leafy stem segment (G2), the third leafy stem segment (G3), and the fourth leafy stem segment (G4), while the hypocotyl (hypocotyl) is not cut and only the wound is cut and then smeared with solid bacteria for infection. The infected explants are planted in vermiculite that has been irrigated with water.

[0051] The liquid injection method involves injecting 1 mL of bacterial solution into the phloem of the oblique section of the explant stem segment, and then planting the infected explant in vermiculite that has been irrigated with water.

[0052] The liquid immersion method involves immersing the oblique cut surface of the explant stem segment in liquid bacterial solution for 10 minutes, and then planting the infected explant in vermiculite that has been irrigated with water.

[0053] The liquid vacuum method is to immerse the oblique cut wound of the explant stem segment in liquid bacterial solution and place it in a vacuum dryer. The vacuum degree in the box reaches -0.1M Pa and vacuum is drawn for 5 minutes. The infected explant is planted in vermiculite that has been irrigated with water.

[0054] like Figure 3As shown in the figure, the second leafy stem segment (S2) of Quercus variabilis seedlings grown in the greenhouse for 30-40 days after the whitening was observed was infected by solid smearing method, liquid immersion method, liquid vacuum method and liquid injection method, and the growth of the stem segments was observed, and the number of stem segments with different growth conditions was counted ( Figure 3 Four growth conditions were observed in the experiment ( Figure 4 AE). In terms of the number of stem segments with rooting, callus, browning and bacterial death, the liquid injection method had the best effect on the genetic transformation of Quercus variabilis mediated by Agrobacterium rhizogenes, with the most roots, while the solid smear method had a poor effect on the genetic transformation of Quercus variabilis mediated by Agrobacterium rhizogenes.

[0055] It should be noted that Figure 3 The data are the mean ± standard error of three replicates; different lowercase letters indicate significant differences in growth under the same treatment method (P<0.05).

[0056] S4, the infected explants were cultured in dark and light, respectively. That is, the infected explants were cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 28°C, shaded and dark for 48 hours, and then cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 28°C, with 16 hours of light and 8 hours of darkness, and watered every 3 days.

[0057] S5. Perform morphological observation and sampling of the cultured explants to determine the explants with the best culture status and the corresponding cutting position from the Quercus variabilis seedlings. Figure 5 As shown, the morphological observation and sampling detection include morphological observation, stereomicroscope photography and sampling PCR detection.

[0058] It should be noted that Figure 5 In the figure, M: 5000 bp DNA Marker; WT: sterile water control; NC: negative control; PC: positive control; N1-N5: transformed roots.

[0059] Specifically, the second leaf stem segment (G2) of Quercus variabilis seedlings grown in the greenhouse for 30-40 days after the whitening was observed, and the morphological changes of the wound on the cut surface of the stem segment were observed. The results showed that callus was formed on the wound after 20 days of in vitro moisturizing dark culture. Figure 4 C), transgenic hairy roots are produced in 30-45 days, including callus rooting ( Figure 4 D) and direct rooting ( Figure 4 E).

[0060] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
