Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, and particularly relates to application of mitochondrial GPAT1 gene and mitochondrial GPAT2 gene in regulating thickness of plant secondary cell wall. BACKGROUND
[0002] Secondary cell wall (SCW) is located between primary cell wall and plasma membrane, and is composed of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose (Wang et al. 2023). The biosynthesis of lignin in plants starts from the phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway. Lignin is a natural macromolecular phenolic polymer with complex structure, which is located between cellulose and hemicellulose in the cell wall, and is an important component of the cell wall. It is the second most abundant high molecular polymer, accounting for about 30% of the content of organic carbon. Lignin plays an important role in plant growth and development. On the one hand, it can enhance the mechanical strength of plants, provide support for plant growth and development, and promote the transportation of minerals and water in the vascular bundle; on the other hand, lignin is involved in the response of plants to biological and abiotic stresses, which helps to improve the stress resistance of plants. Cellulose is the main component of plant cell wall, accounting for about 33% of the total weight of plants, and its economic value can be summarized as food, fiber, paper and bioenergy, which are closely related to human life. Therefore, cellulose is the most economically valuable cell wall component. Its structure is very simple, but the synthesis mechanism is extremely complex. Current research suggests that cellulose is composed of unbranched β-1,4-glucan chains, each chain containing up to 15,000 glucose residues. The glucan chains are combined by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces and arranged in parallel, and each 36 glucan chains form a microfibril, which further arranges and deposits to form the high-order structure of cellulose. Hemicellulose is the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature, and plays an irreplaceable role in plant growth and development. Plants with high hemicellulose content not only have strong resistance to lodging, but also can greatly improve the utilization rate of renewable energy.
[0003] The network formation of secondary cell wall is extremely complex and is regulated by multiple parties. It has been reported that transcription factors Tier 1, 2 and 3 containing MYB or NAC transcription factors play a crucial role in secondary cell wall biosynthesis (Zhong and Ye, 2009; Kumar et al. 2016; Ohtani and Demura, 2019). Ubiquitination is also involved in the formation of secondary cell wall. The subunit DDB1a of E3 ubiquitin ligase complex (Beris et al. 2016), cotton GhHUB2 (Feng et al. 2018), rice OsFBK1 (Borah and Khurana, 2018) as a component of SCF E3 ligase complex, have been reported to directly or indirectly regulate secondary cell wall synthesis. So far, the regulation of GPAT on secondary cell wall development is still blank. SUMMARY

After that, seedlings were transferred to soil under the same conditions for further cultivation. -2 -1
[0048] 3. Investigation method
[0049] Lignin content was detected by phloroglucinol method: 6-day-old Arabidopsis seedlings were soaked in lignin acidified solution for 10 min, then equal amount of phloroglucinol staining solution (Mcclin, China) was added dropwise to the acidified Arabidopsis seedlings, and after standing, the staining of lignin in Arabidopsis seedlings was observed under a stereomicroscope. Then, the lignin content in Arabidopsis seedlings was investigated using a lignin content determination kit (Mcclin, China), and the experimental steps were performed according to the production instructions of the kit, with reagent without sample as blank control (Blank).
[0050] Cellulose content was detected by zinc chloride iodide method: 6-day-old Arabidopsis seedlings were soaked in cellulose staining solution (Yuan Ye, China) for 5 min, and the staining of cellulose in Arabidopsis seedlings was observed under a stereomicroscope. Then, the cellulose content in Arabidopsis seedlings was investigated using a cellulose content determination kit (Mcclin, China), and the experimental steps were performed according to the production instructions of the kit, with reagent without sample as blank control (Blank).
[0051] Cotyledon cell wall thickness was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (HITACH HT7800, Japan). Specifically, the cotyledons of wild-type Arabidopsis and Arabidopsis double mutant gpat1 gpat2 were fixed with 2.5% (w / v) glutaraldehyde in 0.2M PBS at 4°C for more than 2h. The samples were washed with 0.1M PBS for 3 times and dehydrated by a series of gradient ethanol. Then, the cotyledons were embedded with epoxy resin and ultrathin sectioned. Finally, the samples were placed on copper mesh, stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, and observed under a transmission electron microscope (80.0KV).
[0052] Before water loss determination, Arabidopsis seedlings were grown at 23°C for 1 week, and the water loss rate was calculated, with the formula: water loss rate = (initial weight - weight at a certain time point) / initial weight x 100%.
[0053] 4. RNA extraction and transcription analysis
[0054] Total RNA was extracted from the cotyledons of wild-type Arabidopsis and Arabidopsis double mutant gpat1 gpat2 by using RNA-easy Isolation Reagent kit (Norgen, China). First-strand cDNA was synthesized using 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Yikesheng, China). The cDNA was used as template for quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) using SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (TaKaRa, Japan). Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was performed using SYBR Green Master Mix (no rox) (Yisheng, China). Relative quantification results were obtained using ACTIN2 as an internal control and compared via the cycle threshold method (2...). -ΔΔCt The average normalized transcription level was presented. Detection was performed using a Gentier 96E / 96R system (Tianlong, China). Primer sequences used for qPCR and gene accession numbers are shown in Table 1.

[0061] 6. Results and Analysis
[0062] 6.1 Mitochondrial GPAT1 and GPAT2 genes can regulate the formation of the secondary cell wall (SCW).
[0063] In this embodiment, phloroglucinol was used to stain wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis thaliana double mutant gpat1 gpat2 seedlings. Phloroglucinol is a lignin-specific dye; after staining, different degrees of lignification result in red or purplish-red hues, with deeper lignification producing darker colors. The results showed that the cotyledons and hypocotyls of the Arabidopsis thaliana double mutant gpat1 gpat2 seedlings were darker than those of wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana, while there was no significant difference in root color. Figure 1 (A and B in the original text). Furthermore, the total lignin content was detected using a kit, and it was found that the total lignin content of Arabidopsis double mutants gpat1 and gpat2 seedlings was significantly higher than that of wild-type Arabidopsis. Figure 1 C and Figure 2 (A) Therefore, we can conclude that the mitochondrial GPAT1 and mitochondrial GPAT2 genes have a negative regulatory effect on lignin content.
[0064] Subsequently, the cellulose content of wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis thaliana double mutant gpat1 gpat2 seedlings was analyzed using the zinc chloride-iodine method. The cotyledons and hypocotyls of the Arabidopsis thaliana double mutant gpat1 gpat2 seedlings were significantly darker in color than those of wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana, indicating that the cellulose content of the Arabidopsis thaliana double mutant gpat1 gpat2 seedlings was higher than that of wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana. Figure 3 (A) Furthermore, to clarify this conclusion, this embodiment analyzed the cellulose content of wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis thaliana double mutant gpat1 gpat2 seedlings, and similarly found that the cellulose content of Arabidopsis thaliana double mutant gpat1 gpat2 seedlings was higher than that of wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana (A). Figure 3 B and Figure 2 (B in the middle).
[0065] To analyze how the mitochondrial GPAT1 and GPAT2 genes regulate lignin and cellulose content, qPCR was performed on lignin and cellulose synthesis genes in the cotyledons of wild-type Arabidopsis and Arabidopsis double mutants gpat1 and gpat2 seedlings. For lignin synthesis, several genes from the PAL, C4H, 4CL, CCR, CAD, F5H, COM, and LAC families were selected to detect transcriptional levels. The results showed that almost all genes except LAC15 were upregulated, with LAC12 showing the highest upregulation, followed by PAL3. Figure 1 (D in the example). For cellulose synthesis, this example selected 9 genes from the CESA family. Among them, CESA4, CESA8, and CESA9 were significantly upregulated in Arabidopsis double mutant gpat1 gpat2 seedlings, while CESA1 and CESA6 were slightly downregulated. Figure 3 (C in the middle).
[0066] To observe the epidermal structure more clearly, this example used transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to observe the cotyledons of 20-day-old wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis thaliana double mutant gpat1gpat2 seedlings. The results showed that the cell wall thickness of the cotyledons of Arabidopsis thaliana double mutant gpat1gpat2 seedlings was significantly higher than that of wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana. Figure 4 ).
[0067] These results indicate that the mitochondrial GPAT1 and GPAT2 genes play a negative regulatory role in lignin and cellulose synthesis. When the mitochondrial GPAT1 and GPAT2 genes are missing, several lignin and cellulose synthesis genes are upregulated, and large amounts of lignin and cellulose accumulate in the cell walls of Arabidopsis double mutant gpat1 gpat2 seedlings, resulting in thicker and harder cell walls and harder cotyledon texture. This result confirms the cause of the cell wall thickening.
[0068] 6.2 Mitochondrial GPAT1 gene and mitochondrial GPAT2 gene maintain plant water balance
[0069] To explore whether the deletion of mitochondrial GPAT1 gene and mitochondrial GPAT2 gene affects the response of plants to water stress, the water loss of seedlings was determined. The results showed that the water loss rate of Arabidopsis double mutant gpat1 gpat2 seedlings was slower than that of wild type Arabidopsis, Arabidopsis complement line GPAT1::gpat1 gpat2 and Arabidopsis complement line GPAT2::gpat1 gpat2 Figure 5 ), and Arabidopsis double mutant gpat1 gpat2 could adapt to more drought conditions. Therefore, mitochondrial GPAT1 gene and mitochondrial GPAT2 gene can be used to cultivate drought-tolerant plants.
[0070] From the above, changes in cell arm thickness can cause imbalance in plant water metabolism. The deletion of mitochondrial GPAT1 gene and mitochondrial GPAT2 gene promotes the synthesis of lignin and cellulose, and the increase in lignin and cellulose content leads to thickening of the cell wall, which can achieve the purpose of regulating the drought tolerance of plants.
[0071] The above-described embodiments only describe the preferred modes of the present application and do not limit the scope of the present application. Without departing from the design spirit of the present application, various modifications and improvements to the technical solutions of the present application made by those skilled in the art shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present application.
