[0056] Functional verification of the BrNAC043 gene

[0057] 1. Analysis of the expression pattern of the Brassica rapa L. BrNAC043 gene under normal temperature and high temperature stress conditions

[0058] In this experiment, 25 different Brassica rapa varieties (specifically, QS023, QS026, QS027, QS028, QS029, QS032, QS033, QS035, QS037, QS038, QS042, QS045, QS046, QS048, QS050, QS051, QS053, QS054, QS055, QS089, QS093, QS094, QS096, QS097, QS098) were selected and planted at the same time. After the seeds germinated, they were placed in an artificial climate chamber for uniform cultivation. The artificial climate chamber cultivation conditions were as follows: the temperature was set to 20 / 15°C (day / night), the time was set to 16 / 8h (day / night), the daytime light intensity was set to 300 μmol·m -2 s -1 , and the night light intensity was set to 0 μmol·m -2 s -1 , and the humidity was constant at 70%.

[0059] When the non-heading Chinese cabbage grows to 5-6 true leaves, 24 seedlings with uniform size and growth vigor are selected for each variety, of which 12 are subjected to high temperature stress treatment and 12 are subjected to normal temperature control treatment, and the treatment time is 1 day.

[0060] wherein:

[0061] The high temperature group is set to have the following conditions in the artificial climate chamber: temperature of 42℃ / 37℃ (day / night), time of 16 / 8h (day / night), light intensity of 300 μmol·m -2 s -1 during the day and 0 μmol·m -2 s -1 during the night, and constant humidity of 70%;

[0062] The normal temperature control group is set to have the following conditions in the artificial climate chamber: temperature of 20 / 15℃ (day / night), time of 16 / 8h (day / night), light intensity of 300 μmol·m -2 s -1 during the day and 0 μmol·m -2 s -1 during the night, and constant humidity of 70%.

[0063] After the seedlings are treated for 1 day under the corresponding conditions, 0.1g of each is sampled and placed in a 1.5mL EP tube, and then quickly frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen for subsequent experiments; wherein the sampling position is the third leaf counted from the inside to the outside.

[0064] The 1.5mL EP tube containing the sample is placed on a grinder and ground for 60s to form a powder, and then the RNA and cDNA of the sample are obtained according to the method shown in Example 1, and then the BrNAC043 gene expression amount is determined, and the determination of the BrNAC043 gene expression amount is specifically as follows:

[0065] According to the nucleotide sequence of the BrNAC043 gene shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, a fluorescent primer pair for detecting the expression of the BrNAC043 gene is designed by using Oligo 7.0 software (wherein the nucleotide sequence of the upstream primer F3 is shown in SEQ ID NO. 8, the nucleotide sequence of the downstream primer R3 is shown in SEQ ID NO. 9, and the primer is synthesized by a general biological company), the EP tube is placed on ice and the sample is added according to Table 5, and the cDNA is amplified by referring to YEASEN SYBR Green Master Mix reagent instruction for real-time quantitative PCR operation, gene expression was detected in CFX 96 PCR instrument (with reference to Brassica rapa Actin, nucleotide sequence as SEQ ID NO. 12); wherein, the BrNAC043 gene expression of each sample was biologically repeated three times, and the primer pair for amplifying the housekeeping gene Actin was upstream primer Actin-F (SEQ ID NO. 10): AGGCTACACGTTCGGACAAG, downstream primer Actin-R (SEQ ID NO. 11): TGGGGCACTAAACACAGTCA.

[0066] Table 5

[0067] Reagent Volume (μL) qPCR SYBR Green Master Mix 10 cDNA 1 F-Primer 1 R-Primer 1 RNase Free ddH2O 7 Total 20

[0068] The test results are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The expression amount of BrNAC043 gene under normal temperature (the condition shown in the normal temperature control group) and high temperature (the condition shown in the high temperature group) has significant difference in different Brassica rapa materials.

[0069] 2. Determination of high temperature resistance related indexes of Brassica rapa under normal temperature and high temperature stress conditions

[0070] The high temperature resistance related indexes of 25 Brassica rapa samples in the normal temperature control group and 25 Brassica rapa samples in the high temperature group were determined, including the determination of semi-lethal temperature, heat damage index, relative water content, malondialdehyde content, Fv / Fm and Fv / Fo.

[0071] (1) Determination of semi-lethal temperature

[0072] The semi-lethal temperature of Brassica rapa was determined by measuring the electrolyte permeability of leaves under different treatment temperatures using the conductivity method, and the Logistic regression equation was used for fitting. Eight leaves (0.1 g each) were taken from each group of Brassica rapa, and the eight leaves were placed in eight 10 ml double distilled water and subjected to 30 min water bath. The water bath temperatures of the eight double distilled water were room temperature 25℃ (CK), 30℃, 35℃, 40℃, 45℃, 50℃, 55℃ and 60℃, respectively. Then the current electrolyte permeability K1 of each leaf was measured by conductivity meter. Then the eight double distilled water were placed in 100℃ water for 15 min, and after cooling to room temperature, the current electrolyte permeability K2 of each leaf was measured again. The treatment temperature and the electrolyte permeability of the leaves were fitted by the Logistic equation, and the temperature at the inflection point of the fitted equation curve was the semi-lethal temperature of high temperature.

[0073] (2) Determination of heat damage index

[0074] According to the heat damage symptom grading standard, the leaf damage of each group of plants was counted and the heat damage index of the group was calculated.

[0075] The heat damage symptom grading standard is as follows:

[0076] 0 level - no heat damage symptoms, normal plant growth;

[0077] 1 level - the number of damaged leaves < 1 / 3 of the total number of leaves;

[0078] 3 level - 1 / 3 of the total number of leaves ≤ the number of damaged leaves < 1 / 2 of the total number of leaves;

[0079] 5 level - 1 / 2 of the total number of leaves ≤ the number of damaged leaves < 2 / 3 of the total number of leaves;

[0080] 7 level - the number of damaged leaves ≥ 2 / 3 of the total number of leaves, but not dead;

[0081] 9 level - the plant loses economic value or dies.

[0082] Heat damage index = [∑(X × Xi) / (A × N)] × 100%

[0083] X represents the heat damage level, Xi represents the number of plants at X heat damage level, A represents the highest level, and N represents the total number of plants surveyed.

[0084] (3) Measurement of relative water content

[0085] The relative water content of leaves was measured by weighing method. Fresh plant leaves at the same position (sample position: the third leaf counted from the inside to the outside) in each group were collected, wiped clean and weighed, then soaked in deionized water for 24 h to fully saturate, and then the surface water was absorbed with absorbent paper, and the saturated fresh weight was measured. Then it was placed in a 105℃ oven for 30 min, then placed in an 80℃ oven for 48 h until the weight was constant, and the dry weight was weighed, with 3 replicates per group. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0086] Leaf relative water content (%) = (fresh weight - dry weight) / (saturated fresh weight - dry weight) × 100%

[0087] (4) Measurement of MDA (malondialdehyde) content

[0088] MDA content was determined by thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method. 0.1 g of leaf of Brassica rapa L. was accurately weighed and put into a mortar, 1.5 mL of 10% TCA (trichloroacetic acid) was added to grind into homogenate, and then the homogenate was centrifuged at 6000 r / min for 10 min. In a test tube, 1 mL of supernatant was added, 2 mL of TBA was added, mixed uniformly, and heated in 100 ℃ boiling water for 30 min. The absorbance value was determined at wavelength of 600 nm, 532 nm and 450 nm by 1 cm cuvette, and each group was repeated 3 times. The calculation formula of MDA content was:

[0089] MDA (mmol·g -1 FW) = [6.452 × (D532-D600) - 0.559 × D450] × Vt / (Vs × W)

[0090] In the formula, Vt is the total volume of the extract (mL), Vt is 3 mL (1 mL of supernatant + 2 mL of TBA) in this embodiment; Vs is the volume of the extract used (mL), Vs is 1 mL in this embodiment; W is the sample mass (g), and D532, D600 and D450 are the absorbance values of the sample at wavelengths of 532 nm, 600 nm and 450 nm, respectively.

[0091] (5) Determination of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters

[0092] The chlorophyll fluorescence-related parameters were determined by a plant efficiency analyzer (Pocket PEA, Hansatech, UK). Before measurement, the test leaves were clamped with a matching dark adaptation clamp, the leaves were selected from the same node of different plants (the third leaf from the inside to the outside was selected as the sampling position), avoiding the main leaf veins, the leaves were clamped and the measurement window was closed, each group was repeated three times, and dark treatment was performed for 20 min. After dark treatment, the plant efficiency analyzer was used for determination and analysis. The instrument can complete the determination of more than 50 chlorophyll fluorescence parameters including Fo, Fm, Fv, Tm and PIABS, and continuously records 100,000 fluorescence trace measurement values per second. The OJIP fluorescence induction kinetic curve of chlorophyll is completely determined within 1 s. The measured results are shown in Table 6 (25 parts of Brassica rapa L. high temperature resistance index):

[0093] Table 6

[0094]

[0095]

[0096] The heat injury index, MDA content, leaf relative water content, Fv / Fm and Fv / Fo of Brassica rapa L. after high temperature treatment were analyzed by using fuzzy membership function, which was used for comprehensive evaluation of the strength of high temperature resistance of Brassica rapa L. The membership function formula is as follows:

[0097] The index is positively correlated with heat resistance, using the formula M = (Mi-Mmin) / (Mmax-Mmin);

[0098] The index is negatively correlated with heat resistance, using the formula M = 1-(Mi-Mmin) / (Mmax-Mmin);

[0099] In the formula, Mi represents the index measured value, Mmin represents the minimum value in the index measured value, and Mmax represents the maximum value in the index measured value.

[0100] The membership function value of each index is calculated respectively, and the materials are ranked according to the average membership function value, and the higher the average membership function value, the stronger the heat resistance of the material, as shown in Table 7 (evaluation of heat resistance of 25 materials of Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis Makino):

[0101] Table 7

[0102]

[0103]

[0104] From the data in Table 7 and Figure 1 , 2 It can be seen that under normal temperature and high temperature conditions, the high and low of the average membership function value is basically the same as the expression trend of BrNAC043 gene in each Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis Makino material; among them, the higher the expression of BrNAC043 gene, the higher the corresponding membership function value, and the stronger the heat resistance of the corresponding variety of Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis Makino, which shows that plants with high expression of BrNAC043 gene can better cope with the damage caused by high temperature stress.

[0105] Example 3

[0106] The correct sequencing of the above-mentioned connecting product obtained in Example 1 was transformed into Agrobacterium GV3101 (purchased from Shanghai Weidi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), and the specific operation was as follows: 100 μl of GV3101 Agrobacterium competent cells was added with 1 μg of recombinant vector plasmid DNA (the connecting product obtained in Example 1), and the bottom of the tube was beaten with hands to mix evenly, and then it was sequentially placed on ice for 5 min, liquid nitrogen for 5 min, 37°C water bath for 5 min, and ice bath for 5 min. 700 μl of LB liquid medium without antibiotics was added, and it was cultured at 28°C for 2 h with shaking; it was centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 1 min to collect the bacteria, and about 70 μl of supernatant was retained, and the bacterial body was resuspended by gently blowing, and then it was evenly coated on the LB solid culture medium containing Kan and Rif, and then it was placed in a 28°C incubator for 2 days, and the required bacterial liquid was obtained, and several positive clones were picked up in 700 μl of liquid LB containing Kan and Rif antibiotics, and after being cultured at 28°C for 2 days, the bacterial liquid PCR verification result was used (the PCR program was the same as that in Example 1).

[0107] 1 mL of the required bacterial liquid obtained above was added into 100 mL of LB liquid medium, 100 μL of Kan (kanamycin) and 200 μL of Rif (rifampicin) were added, and then it was placed in a 28°C, 220 rpm shaking incubator for 12 h, and then the OD value of the bacterial liquid was measured, when the OD value reached 0.8-1.0, it was centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 5 min, the precipitated bacterial body was discarded, and an appropriate amount of buffer (the buffer was prepared from 5% sucrose and 50 μL of Silwet-77) was added to the precipitated bacterial body, and then the bacterial body was resuspended by blowing with a pipette, and then the resuspended bacterial liquid was stored in the dark for 4 hours, and then it was poured into a glass culture dish, and then the Arabidopsis inflorescences were immersed in the culture dish, and then they were gently shaken for 1 min, and then the plants were stored in the dark for 24 h after the transformation was completed, and then they were placed in a natural growth room for normal culture, and then the transformation was repeated once a week.

[0108] The seeds of the T0 generation after the Arabidopsis infection were harvested, the T0 generation seeds were sterilized with 75% alcohol for 30 s, and then they were washed with 3% NaClO3 for 6 min, and then they were evenly spread on 1 / 2MS medium containing 30 mg / L hygromycin, and then they were cultured at 22°C under light for 7 to 10 days, and then the T1 generation positive plants were obtained by screening.

[0109] The T1 generation positive seedlings were transplanted into nutrient soil, and then they were covered with plastic wrap for 2 to 3 days, and then the plastic wrap was removed, and then they were normally grown. The leaves of the screened T1 generation positive plants were used to extract DNA, and then the PCR method was used to identify that they contained the BrNAC043 gene, and finally it was confirmed that the gene had been transferred into the T1 generation positive plants. After the screening of each generation (the screening methods of T2 and T3 generation plants were the same as those of T1 generation), three T3 generation transgenic lines (OE#2, OE#7 and OE#8) with relatively high relative expression of BrNAC043 gene were finally obtained.

[0110] Figure 3 Real-time quantitative PCR results showed that the relative expression levels of the BrNAC043 gene in OE#2, OE#7, and OE#8 were all higher than those in the wild type (WT). These results indicate that the genetic transformation of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana was successful, and the three transgenic lines obtained can be used for subsequent experiments.

[0111] Wild-type WT Arabidopsis thaliana and T3 generation seeds (OE#2, OE#7, and OE#8) were simultaneously spotted on 1 / 2 MS medium. After 7 to 10 days, the seedlings were transplanted into potting soil and covered with plastic wrap for 2 to 3 days before being removed. When the Arabidopsis reached 6 weeks of age, they were subjected to 3 days of high-temperature stress treatment. The artificial climate chamber conditions for the high-temperature group were set as follows: temperature 42℃ / 37℃ (day / night), duration 16 / 8h (day / night), and daytime light intensity 300 μmol·m⁻¹. -2 s -1 The light intensity at night is 0 μmol·m -2 s -1 The humidity was kept constant at 70%; the artificial climate chamber conditions for the normal temperature control group were set as follows: temperature 20 / 15℃ (day / night), time 16 / 8h (day / night), and daytime light intensity 300 μmol·m⁻². -2 s -1 The light intensity at night is 0 μmol·m -2 s -1 The humidity is kept constant at 70%.

[0112] After high-temperature treatment of wild-type and transgenic plants, such as Figure 4 As shown, the wild-type lines exhibited obvious leaf curling and wilting, while the transgenic lines showed no obvious or only slight dehydration. Subsequently, both wild-type and transgenic lines were rehydrated for 3 days. The survival rate of the transgenic lines was significantly higher than that of the wild-type lines, indicating that the BrNAC043 gene is positively correlated with the heat tolerance of non-heading Chinese cabbage.
