Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plant molecular biology, and in particular to the application of TaAPO1 protein or its encoding gene in regulating wheat phenotype and yield. Background Art

[0002] Wheat is the second largest food crop after rice and the staple food of 35% to 40% of the world's population. Therefore, it is crucial to analyze the genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate wheat yield formation. The three elements of wheat yield are the number of spikes per unit area, the number of grains per spike, and the grain weight. The number of grains per spike and the grain weight are mainly controlled by the development of the spike type, and are also the final manifestation of floret differentiation, development, and fruiting. Therefore, the study of wheat spike and grain development is of great significance. However, due to the allohexaploid characteristics of wheat, as well as the duplication of homologous genes, functional redundancy and differentiation, and expression silencing produced during the polyploidization process, the study of wheat spike development is relatively lagging behind.

[0003] The F-box gene family is one of the largest and fastest evolving gene / protein families in the plant kingdom. It is a class of genes that play an important role in plant growth and development, and plays an important role in regulating plant growth and reproductive stage transitions, floral organ and grain development, and other developmental processes. Currently, there is little analysis and research on the structure and function of the F-box gene family in wheat, and the biological function and molecular mechanism of this gene family in wheat are still unclear.

[0012] Preferably, wheat variety improvement is carried out by transgenic, hybridization, backcrossing, selfing or asexual reproduction.

[0013] Preferably, the amino acid sequence of the TaAPO1 protein is the sequence shown in any one of SEQ ID No.7, SEQ ID No.8, SEQ ID No.11, SEQ ID No.12, and SEQ ID No.13.

[0014] Preferably, the gene encoding the TaAPO1 protein is at least one of the following: (a) a sequence as shown in any one of SEQ ID Nos. 4 to 6; (b) A DNA molecule capable of affecting wheat phenotype or yield formed by substitution of one or several bases and / or insertion and / or deletion of one or several bases or insertion / deletion / shift / inversion of a large fragment of nucleotide sequence based on any one of SEQ ID NOs. 4 to 6.

Material fixation and embedding: Prepare materials: freshly prepared plant tissue fixative, scissors, tweezers, wax cups, wax bowls and RNase-free centrifuge tubes sterilized at 180°C. Prepare drugs (all for RNA experiments, RNase-free): DEPC water, glacial acetic acid, ethanol, formaldehyde, xylene, chloroform, wax blocks.

[0041] Material fixation: Select fresh wheat plants, use high-temperature sterilized scissors and tweezers to remove the leaves of the plants that wrap the young ears, leaving only a few layers of tender leaves to protect the young ears, and put them into the freshly prepared formalin-acetic acid-ethanol fixative. Then vacuum evacuate for 15 minutes and then slowly release the air. Repeat this 2-3 times until the material sinks to the bottom, replace with fresh fixative, and store in a refrigerator at 4℃ overnight. Fixative formula (50% FAA): 50 mL of 100% anhydrous ethanol (final concentration 50%), 5 mL of 100% glacial acetic acid (final concentration 5%), 10 mL of 37% formaldehyde (final concentration 3.7%), and 35 mL of DEPC water.

Finally, move the samples to 10% chloroform / 90% xylene solution, add about 20 wax pieces to it, and place it in a fume hood overnight.

[0043] Wax dipping: Place the sample in a 42℃ thermostat to melt the wax block, then add a new wax block to it and melt it completely at 42℃. Add wax flakes in small amounts and multiple times until the wax flakes no longer melt. Pour out the wax liquid in the container, pour in the new wax liquid melted in advance at 60℃, and place it in a 60℃ thermostat overnight. After 2-3 days: Repeat the wax change. Replace the new wax liquid every 12 hours or so.

[0045] 2. Slicing Use a blade to trim the wax block into a column, and stick the trimmed wax block to the rootstock. Set the slicer thickness to 8 µm. Put the cut wax strip into 42℃ DEPC water, and stick it on the slide after it stretches and flattens. Use absorbent paper to absorb the residual water, and place the slide on the baking machine to dry it. Then transfer it to a 42℃ constant temperature incubator and continue drying for 2-3 days.

[0046] 3. Probe Preparation The gene-specific fragment was connected to the pGEMT-easy (Promega, USA) vector. According to the gene sequence and the restriction sites on the vector, the sense probe and antisense probe were respectively digested with T7 reverse transcriptase to digest the plasmid. After the plasmid was extracted, the corresponding enzyme was used for digestion, and agarose gel electrophoresis was used to detect whether the digestion was complete. After digestion, an equal volume of chloroform was added for extraction, centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was taken into a centrifuge tube. An equal volume of chloroform was added for extraction, centrifuged at 12,000 rpm at 4°C for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was taken into a centrifuge tube. The chloroform extraction was repeated once and the supernatant was taken. 3 M sodium acetate solution was added to the above aqueous phase to make the final concentration reach 0.3 M, and then 2 times the volume of pre-cooled anhydrous ethanol was added and placed at -20°C overnight. After taking out the sample, centrifuged at 12,000 rpm at 4°C for 10 minutes and the supernatant was discarded. Add 500 μl of 70% ethanol solution, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm, 4°C for 5 minutes, and discard the supernatant; repeat once. After removing the residual liquid with a pipette tip, dry it and add an appropriate amount of DEPC water to dissolve it. The primer sequences used in the probe preparation are shown in SEQ ID No. 27~30, which are YW-APO1-F, YW-APO1-R, YW-APO1-F-T7 and YW-APO1-R-T7 respectively.

[0047] IV.
