Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, and specifically relates to the application of the GsMYB10 gene in plant tolerance to low phosphorus stress. Background Art

[0002] Soybean is a plant rich in nutrients. Its protein content is 2.5 to 8 times that of cereal and tuber foods. In addition, its essential substances for the human body such as fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2 are also higher than those of cereal and tuber foods. Soybean has a very wide range of uses. In terms of food, soybeans can be processed into soy products such as tofu, soy milk, and yuba. Fermented soy products include fermented bean curd, stinky tofu, broad bean paste, soy sauce, fermented soybeans, natto, etc., while non-fermented soy products include fresh tofu, dried tofu, bean sprouts, and marinated soy products. In terms of feed, the stems, leaves, and soybean dregs of soybeans are good fertilizers and feeds, suitable for ruminant livestock such as chickens, pigs, and dairy cows.

[0003] Soybean is a phosphorus-loving crop, and phosphorus plays a key role in the entire life cycle of soybeans. If soybeans cannot absorb enough phosphorus, it will inhibit the growth of their root nodules, reduce the nitrogen fixation amount, and ultimately severely reduce the yield and quality of soybeans. China is the largest soybean consumer in the world, with an annual demand of more than 100 million tons. However, China's self-sufficiency rate of soybeans is only 18%-20%. China's soybeans are mainly produced in the Northeast region, with a production volume accounting for about 50%-60% of the country's total output. In the Huang-Huai-Hai region and the southern red soil region, although there are rich land resources, due to the lack of soil phosphorus, the growth of soybean plants is restricted and the number of pods is reduced, ultimately affecting the production and quality of soybeans.

[0004] Therefore, screening for phosphorus-efficient genes and improving the low-phosphorus tolerance of soybeans is one of the important ways to increase the yield and quality of soybeans. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the problems in the above background art, a first object of the present invention is to provide the application of the gene GsMYB10 in improving the low-phosphorus stress tolerance of plants, so as to increase the yield and quality of soybeans in a low-phosphorus environment. The nucleotide sequence of the gene GsMYB10 is as shown in SEQ ID NO.1; or the gene GsMYB10 encodes an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO.2.

[0006] This application overexpresses the gene GsMYB10 in plants, thereby improving the low-phosphorus stress tolerance of plants.

[0007] Further, the plant is soybean.

[0008] The second object of the present invention is to provide a method for improving the low phosphorus stress tolerance of plants, and the method is to increase the expression level of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.2 in the recipient plant; the specific steps include: introducing the gene GsMYB10 shown in SEQ ID NO.1 into the recipient plant to obtain transgenic soybean plants, and the low phosphorus stress tolerance of the transgenic plants is higher than that of the recipient plant; or overexpressing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.2 in the recipient plant.

[0009] Further, the improvement of the low phosphorus stress tolerance of the plant is reflected in the increase of its root length or the number of lateral roots.

[0010] The third object of the present invention is to provide the application of the recombinant plasmid, recombinant vector and transgenic plant cell line of the gene GsMYB10 in improving the low phosphorus stress tolerance of plants, and the nucleotide sequence of the gene GsMYB10 is shown in SEQ ID NO.1; or the gene GsMYB10 encodes the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.2.

[0011] The present application studies the method for the soybean low phosphorus tolerance gene GsMYB10 to promote the growth of plants in a low phosphorus stress environment, including the following specific steps:

[0012] Using soybeans as materials, by means of Agrobacterium-mediated cotyledon node transformation of soybeans, the GsMYB10 gene was genetically transformed into soybeans by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated cotyledon node method to obtain soybean plants overexpressing the GsMYB10 gene. By comparing the growth performance, phosphorus absorption efficiency and root system development and other indicators of transgenic plants and wild-type plants under low phosphorus stress conditions, the function and application potential of the GsMYB10 gene in improving soybean low phosphorus tolerance were verified.

[0013] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: through the cloning and analysis of the soybean gene GsMYB10, and by using the Agrobacterium-mediated cotyledon node transformation method of soybeans, the GsMYB10 gene can be successfully integrated into the soybean genome and stably expressed. At the same time, it is found that the low phosphorus tolerance of GsMYB10 overexpressing plants is significantly enhanced, which can lay a foundation for soybean low phosphorus tolerance molecular breeding.

[0014] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to be able to understand the technical means of the present invention more clearly, it can be implemented according to the content of the description.

[0066] g. Finally, discard the supernatant in a laminar flow hood, and suspend the precipitate with 10% glycerol to completely dissolve the bacterial solution into the solution, and store it at -80 °C in aliquots of 100 μl each for later use.

[0067] 2. Electroporation transformation of Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA101 competent cells

[0068] a. Take out the electroporation cuvette stored in 70% ethanol in a laminar flow hood, place it in the laminar flow hood to dry, and then perform ultraviolet sterilization for 20 min and blow dry for use.

[0069] b. Take out the prepared Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA101 competent cells from the -80 °C ultra-low temperature refrigerator and place them in an ice box to thaw. At the same time, take out the plasmid to be transformed from the -20 °C refrigerator and melt it at room temperature. Use a pipette to aspirate the completely melted plasmid and add it to the thawed competent cells. Gently pipette and mix it in a laminar flow hood, and then transfer it to the sterilized and blow-dried electroporation cuvette.

[0070] c. Then place the electroporation cuvette in the preheated electroporator, and set the parameters as: voltage 1800 V, time 5 ms, and perform electroporation.

[0071] d. After electroporation, place it in a laminar flow hood, use a pipette to aspirate 1 ml of YEP liquid medium without antibiotics and slowly add it to the electroporation cuvette, and pipette several times to suspend and mix the cells.

Place it in an incubator at 28 °C and incubate for about 36 h until colonies grow.

[0074] 3. Genetic transformation of soybean cotyledon nodes

[0075] a. Seed disinfection: Soybean seeds are disinfected using the method of dry surface disinfection. First, take out the pre-screened and stored Huachun 6 seeds from the -20 °C refrigerator and arrange them in a single layer in a petri dish. Then place it in a desiccator in the fume hood, and also place a 250 mL beaker containing 100 mL of sodium hypochlorite in the desiccator. Use a 5 ml pipette to slowly add 4.2 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid along the wall of the beaker, and immediately cover the lid of the desiccator. After chlorine sterilization for 13.5 h, open the fume hood, cover the lid of the petri dish in the desiccator, and quickly place it in a laminar flow hood that has been sterilized by ultraviolet light and turn on the blower. After about 40 min, proceed to the next step.

[0076] b. Germination: Place the pre-prepared germination medium (GM) in the laminar flow hood as well. Then use forceps sterilized by alcohol flame to place about 12 disinfected soybean seeds with the hilum facing down in the germination medium. After inoculation, seal it with medical tape, and place the petri dish in the tissue culture room. The environment of the tissue culture room is set as follows: 16 h light / 8 h dark, temperature set at 24 °C, and light intensity set at 140 μmoles / m2 / sec, and culture for 5 days.

[0077] c. Bacterial solution preparation: Take out 1 ml of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA101 containing GsMYB10-pZY101 that has been identified by bacterial solution PCR, place it in a sterile laminar flow hood, and use a pipette to aspirate and add it to a 250 ml sterile Erlenmeyer flask containing 50 ml of YEP liquid medium with spe 100 mg / L, chl 25 mg / L, and str 100 mg / L. Then place it in a constant temperature shaker at a temperature of 28 °C and a rotation speed of 240 rpm for overnight culture. The next day, measure the absorbance value OD600 of the bacterial solution until it is between 1.0 and 1.2. Then add it to a sterile 50 ml centrifuge tube, place it in a centrifuge with a rotation speed of 5000 rpm, a temperature of 24 °C, and a time of 10 min. After centrifugation, remove the supernatant in the laminar flow hood and collect the bacterial solution precipitate. Then resuspend the bacterial solution precipitate with the liquid co-culture medium and adjust the absorbance value until OD600 is between 0.6 and 0.8. Store it at 4 °C and wait for the next experiment (note that the placement time cannot be too long, and it needs to be prepared and used immediately).

[0078] d. Preparation and transformation of explants: For the germinated seedlings that have grown in the culture room for 5 days, carefully check the culture dishes for contamination. If there is contamination, discard them immediately. Place the uncontaminated germinated dishes into the sterilized laminar flow hood. Cut the soybean cotyledons and 0.5 cm hypocotyl from the seedlings using forceps and a scalpel. Then, vertically cut open the seeds along the cotyledons and also vertically separate the hypocotyl. Remove the young buds and epicotyls on the cotyledons. Use a scalpel to gently scratch about 10 times parallel to the hypocotyl in the cotyledon node region. The wounds should be approximately 0.5 mm deep and 3 - 4 mm long.

[0079] e. Infection and co - cultivation: Pour the prepared bacterial solution separately into other sterile 150 ml Erlenmeyer flasks in the laminar flow hood. Place the scratched explants into the flasks and soak them until the explants are just covered. Infect for 30 min, and shake the flask frequently to ensure that the explants can come into contact with fresh bacterial solution. Then pour out the bacterial solution, and use forceps to transfer the explants from the flask to a clean sterile culture dish. Then place them flat on the solid medium with the wound facing down (a layer of sterilized filter paper is placed on the medium). Place about 18 explants on each medium. Then carefully seal the dish with medical tape and transfer it to an incubator at a temperature of 22°C for 3 days of dark culture.

[0080] f. Induction of young buds: Place the prepared bud induction medium and the dark - cultured explants together on the sterile laminar flow hood. Use forceps to insert the explants obliquely into the bud induction medium. Note that the cut surface of the explant should be completely buried in the medium to ensure full contact between the wound and the medium. Place 10 explants in each culture dish. Then seal the dish with medical tape and place it in the tissue culture room. Culture for 14 days. After 14 days of culture, carefully check the medium and discard the contaminated plates. Place the sterile plates back into the laminar flow hood, transfer them to a new bud induction medium, and discard the explants that have not grown clustered buds and those that have only grown a single large bud. Place 7 explants on each plate of the replaced medium. Seal the dish with medical tape and place it in the tissue culture room. Continue to induce for 14 days.

[0081] g. Growth of young buds: Carefully check the bud induction medium and discard the contaminated medium. Place the sterile medium into the sterilized laminar flow hood. At the same time, place the bud elongation medium into the laminar flow hood. Discard the undifferentiated materials. Cut off the cotyledons of the explants with clustered buds and make a new cut at the base of the growing node using a scalpel. Transfer them to the bud elongation medium. Place 9 explants in each culture dish. Culture in the tissue culture room for 2 - 8 weeks. Check carefully every 2 weeks for contaminated culture dishes and discard the contaminated ones. Replace the non - contaminated culture dishes with a new bud elongation medium.

[0082] h. Rooting: During the process of changing the bud elongation medium, seedlings with buds elongated by at least 3 cm were placed in a laminar flow hood. The buds were cut from the roots of the tissue using a scalpel, soaked in auxin for 2 minutes, and then transferred to a triangular flask containing the rooting medium. Subsequently, the flask was sealed with a sealing film and placed in the tissue culture room to continue growing until several main roots began to grow and lateral roots also emerged. The plants were taken out of the tissue culture room, gently removed from the rooting medium, and the medium on the roots was carefully rinsed off with tap water. The seedlings were transplanted into a pot filled with nutrient soil prepared by mixing vermiculite that had been autoclaved at high temperature and pressure and genes in a ratio of 1:2. The pot was covered with a plastic film to reduce water evaporation. The film was removed after the plants were fully viable. Subsequently, nutrient solution was applied for cultivation until pod formation.

[0126] Specific experimental steps:

[0127] S1. Prepare BX13 soybean seeds, disinfect their surfaces with alcohol, sow the disinfected seeds in moist vermiculite, and germinate them in an incubator (temperature: 26 °C, light: 16 h / dark: 8 h). Subsequently, transfer the seedlings with the same growth and expanded cotyledons to normal phosphorus nutrition (Normal Phosphorus, NP, 500 μM KH2PO4) and low phosphorus nutrition (Low Phosphorus, LP, 5 μM KH2PO4) culture solutions, and collect root samples at 0 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, 48 h, and 7 d respectively.

[0130] Observe the change in the expression level of this gene at the above time periods (time), and the experimental results were as Figure 3 shown. Low phosphorus stress induced the expression of the GsMYB10 gene.

[0131] Experiment 3, Determination of the transcriptional activity of the GsMYB10 protein

[0132] S1, Amplify the target fragment: Clone the target fragment of the GsMYB10 gene using the pLB vector plasmid (the cloning reaction is the same as above), and amplify the full-length coding region of GsMYB10 with special primers to obtain the amplification product. Among them, the sequences of the special primers are as follows:

[0133] GsMYB10-pGBKT7-F (SEQ ID NO.11): atggccatggaggccgaattcATGTACAGTACTCATCAGCAACATCAA

[0134] GsMYB10-pGBKT7-R (SEQ ID NO.12): ccgctgcaggtcgacggatccTTCAGTTCCAACTGAATCCATTCAA

[0135] S2, Insert the amplification product into the NcoI and BamHI sites of the pGBKT7 vector to form the pGBKT7-GsMYB10 construct (Clontech).

[0136] S3, To verify whether the GsMYB10 protein has transcriptional activity, transform the plasmid pGBKT7 (control) and the plasmid pGBKT7-GsMYB10 into yeast Y2HGold respectively. Yeast cells grow on the control medium plate (SD / -Trp) or the selective medium plate (SD / -Trp / -X-α-Gal).

[0137] Perform the transformation of Y2H yeast cells and the detection of transcriptional self-activation effect (refer to the product manual of Y2HGold Chemically Competent Cell of Shanghai Weidi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.)

[0138] a. Take 100 μL of Y2HGold competent cells in each tube from the -80 °C ultra-low temperature freezer and quickly place them in an ice box containing an ice-water mixture for thawing. PEG / LiAc is also placed in the ice box for pre-cooling. Carrier DNA is placed in a boiling water bath for 5 min, and quickly placed in an ice bath for 3 min. After repeating the operation once, it is placed in the ice box for standby. Then, use a pipette to add 2 μg of the target plasmid that has been pre-cooled, measured for concentration, and calculated for volume, 10 μL of Carrier DNA that has been treated in a boiling water bath, and 500 μL of pre-cooled PEG / LiAc in sequence, and pipette several times to mix well.

[0139] b. Place the well-mixed competent cells in a pre-prepared 30 °C constant temperature water bath for 30 min, and turn them upside down 6 - 8 times by hand at the 15th minute for mixing.

[0140] c. Transfer the competent cells that have been in a 30°C water bath for half an hour to another pool in a constant temperature water bath set at 42°C for a 15-minute water bath, and invert the tube 6 - 8 times again at the 7.5-minute mark to mix well.

[0141] d. Take out the tube that has completed the water bath and place it in a microcentrifuge. Set the rotation speed to 5000 rpm and the time to 1 minute. After centrifugation, discard the supernatant in a laminar flow hood, resuspend with 400 μL of sterile ddH2O at room temperature, and centrifuge again to discard the supernatant.

[0142] e. Resuspend again with 50 μL of ddH2O, spread the cells on an SD plate using a spreader that has been sterilized by flaming with alcohol, then seal the plate with parafilm and incubate it in a 29°C constant temperature incubator for 48 - 96 hours.

[0143] f. When the colonies on the SD plate grow to 1 mm in size, pick single colonies of pGBKT7 and pGBKT7 - GsMYB10 and spread them separately in zones on an SD / -Trp plate supplemented with X - a - Gal. Seal the plate with parafilm and incubate it upside down at 29°C for 2 - 3 days to observe whether the colonies on the medium turn blue for self - activation detection.

[0144] The results are as Figure 5 shown. The Y2H strain containing pGBKT7 - GsMYB10 grew and showed blue on the selective medium, indicating that the GsMYB10 protein has transcriptional activation activity.

[0145] Experiment 4. Verification of the subcellular localization of the GsMYB10 protein

[0146] S1. Amplify the complete open reading frame (ORF) without a stop codon and insert it into the NcoI and SpeI sites of pCAMBIA1302, which contains a GFP reporter gene under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter, to form the construct 35S::GsMYB10 - GFP. For vector construction, please refer to the construction of overexpression vectors. The following are the recombinant cloning primers:

[0147] GsMYB10 - 1302CZ - F (SEQ ID NO.13): acgggggactcttgaccatggCTATGTACAGTACTCATCAGCAACATCAA,

[0148] GsMYB10 - 1302CZ - R (SEQ ID NO.14): aagttcttctcctttactagtGTTCCAACTGAATCCATTCAAGTCC

[0149] The experimental steps are as follows

[0150] 1. Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101 transformation (refer to the instruction manual of GV3101 Chemically Competent Cell of Shanghai Weidi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.)

[0151] a. Take out the preserved Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101 competent cells from the -80°C ultra-low temperature freezer and place them on the room-temperature workbench. Transfer them to an ice box when they are partially melted.

[0152] b. Take the plasmid to be transformed. First, measure the concentration of the plasmid. Calculate the volume of the plasmid to be added based on adding 0.01 - 1 μg of plasmid DNA to every 100 μL of competent cells. Then, use a pipette to aspirate the corresponding volume of the plasmid and add it to the competent cells. Gently tap the bottom of the tube with your hand to mix evenly. Then, perform the following experimental steps in sequence: let it stand in an ice-water bath for 5 minutes, place it in liquid nitrogen for 5 minutes, then place it on a floating plate and keep it in a water bath at 37°C for 5 minutes (be careful that the centrifuge tube does not burst during this period), and finally place it in an ice-water bath for another 5 minutes.

[0153] c. In a sterilized laminar flow hood, use a pipette to aspirate 700 μL of antibiotic-free YEB liquid medium and add it to the transformed competent cells. Then, place it on a shaker at 28°C and shake it for 3 hours.

[0154] d. Take out the resuscitated bacterial liquid in which the resistance plasmid has been expressed and place it in a microcentrifuge. Set the rotation speed to 6000 rpm and the time to 1 min for centrifugation. Spread it on a plate and culture it for 2 - 3 days.

[0155] e. When a single colony grows to a diameter of 1 mm in the laminar flow hood, use a sterile pipette tip to pick out the single colony and place it into YEP liquid medium containing the corresponding antibiotic. Then, place it on a shaker at 28°C and culture it for 6 hours. Then, shake the bacteria in the laminar flow hood and perform PCR in a PCR instrument. Finally, run electrophoresis for identification.

[0156] 2. Cultivation of Nicotiana benthamiana

[0157] a. The proportion of each component in the substrate is as follows: flower nutrient soil: vermiculite = 2:1, 26°C, 16 h / 8 h (light / dark), 70% humidity (cover with a transparent white box for moisturizing for 2 weeks)

[0158] b. After thoroughly watering the substrate, use a pipette to spot the tobacco seeds into the substrate. Finally, leave 4 seeds in each pot. Water with 1 / 6 Hoagland nutrient solution every 5 days.

[0159] 3. Agrobacterium injection into tobacco leaves

[0160] a. Select tobacco leaves (4 - leaf stage) that have been growing for about one month. Choose healthy tobacco leaf plants with good growth status (young, fully expanded, 4 - week - old) for Agrobacterium infection. Water thoroughly before transformation and do not water until after photographing is completed.

[0161] b. Preparation of Agrobacterium: Pre - culture, inoculate monoclonal into a 2 - ml centrifuge tube containing 1 ml of YEP with the corresponding antibiotics. Culture: Inoculate 1 mL of the pre - culture medium into 50 ml of YEB liquid medium containing three antibiotics, Rif (20 mg / mL), Gen (50 mg / mL), and Kan (50 mg / mL), to activate Agrobacterium (GV3101). Check that the bacterial solution has grown to the late exponential phase with OD600 = 0.6, then perform centrifugation at a speed of 4000 rpm at room temperature for 10 min to harvest the bacterial solution.

[0162] c. Prepare the suspension: Mix well and store at 4°C.

[0163] d. Resuspend to OD600 using the resuspension solution (10 mM MES - KOH, pH 5.6; 10 mM MgCl2; 100 μM acetosyringone). Prepare the resuspension solution freshly each time.

[0164] e. Similarly suspend the Agrobacterium containing P19 that has been cultured in the same way and adjust the concentration of the suspension to OD600 = 1.

[0165] f. According to the experimental design, mix the above two kinds of Agrobacterium in a 1:1 volume ratio and let it stand at room temperature for 3 - 4 h.

[0166] g. Place the tobacco under white fluorescent lights for 1 h before injection to fully open the stomata.

[0167] h. Agrobacterium injection: Resuspend the bacterial cells, suck the bacterial solution with a 1 - mL syringe without a needle, gently pierce a small hole in the middle of the leaf with the syringe needle, then use the left hand to hold the front of the leaf, and gently press the injection tube vertically against the back of the leaf with the right hand. Slowly and evenly push with the right thumb to observe the slow movement of the bacterial solution under the leaf epidermis (it is best if the bacterial solution forms bubbles in the lower epidermis for the best injection effect until the entire leaf is infected. Also, pay attention to selecting the best - growing leaf (do not use cotyledons) on one plant for injection, and inject at most half of the leaves per plant. Cover with plastic film and culture at 24°C for 2.5 - 3 days, then tear off the lower epidermis of the leaf and observe under a laser confocal microscope.

[0168] As Figure 6As shown in the figure, eGFP in the figure corresponds to the GFP channel; RFP corresponds to the RFP channel; Merge represents the merged image of GFP and RFP; Bright field is the bright field. Analysis by a laser confocal microscope showed that 35S-GFP was distributed throughout the cell, while the 35S-GsMYB10-GFP fusion protein was only localized in the nucleus. The results indicated that GsMYB10 is a nuclear localization protein. Experiment Five, Hydroponic Verification of GsMYB10

[0169] After disinfecting the GsMYB10 transgenic seeds, after germinating in vermiculite for 6 days, when the cotyledons were fully expanded and the seedlings had consistent growth, they were transferred to 1 / 2 Hoagland solution for cultivation and divided into two treatment groups: the experimental group and the control group. Among them, the experimental group was cultivated with a low phosphorus concentration (5 μmol / L K2HPO4), and the control group was cultivated with a normal phosphorus concentration (500 μmol / L K2HPO4). Among them, each group included the wild type (WT) and transgenic lines. WT was used as the within-group control (CK). The transgenic lines specifically included two lines, Gm10A and Gm10B. Each group was set with 3 replicates. After 14 days, the hydroponic phenotypes were observed, the seeds were examined, and the total phosphorus content was measured (the total phosphorus content was the total phosphorus content multiplied by the dry weight of the upper and lower parts of the plant).

[0170] ① Method for the determination of total phosphorus in plants by molybdenum antimony anti-colorimetry:

[0171] I. All reagents used in this experiment are of analytical purity, and the water is deionized water or distilled water or water of equivalent purity.

[0172] (1) Sulfuric acid;

[0173] (2) 30% hydrogen peroxide;

[0174] (3) 10% sodium hydroxide;

[0175] (4) 0.2% dinitrophenol indicator;

[0176] (5) 0.5% potassium antimony tartrate solution: Weigh 0.5 g of chemically pure potassium antimony tartrate and dissolve it in 100 mL of water;

[0177] (6) Sulfuric acid molybdenum antimony stock solution: Measure 126 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid and slowly add it to 100 mL of water, stirring constantly and cooling. Separately weigh 10 g of finely ground ammonium molybdate and dissolve it in about 300 mL of water at 60 °C, and cool. Then slowly pour the sulfuric acid solution into the ammonium molybdate solution. Then add 100 mL of 0.5% potassium antimony tartrate solution. After cooling, dilute with water to 1000 mL, shake well, and store in a brown reagent bottle. This stock solution contains 1% ammonium molybdate and 2.25 mol / L sulfuric acid;

[0178] (7) Molybdenum-antimony anti-color reagent: Weigh 1.5 g of ascorbic acid and dissolve it in 100 mL of molybdenum-antimony stock solution. This solution has a short shelf life and should be prepared freshly before use.

[0179] (8) Phosphorus standard stock solution: Accurately weigh 0.4390 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate dried at 105 °C for 2 h. Dissolve it in water, add 5 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid, and then make up the volume to 1000 mL with water. This solution contains 100 mg / L of phosphorus and can be stored in the refrigerator for long-term use.

[0180] (9) 5 mg / L phosphorus standard solution: Pipette 5 mL of the phosphorus stock solution into a 100 mL volumetric flask and make up the volume with water. This solution should be prepared freshly before use.

[0181] II. Experimental instruments: Analytical balance (0.0001 g), 100 ml volumetric flask, 50 ml volumetric flask, funnel, several small test tubes, graphite digestion instrument (SH220F), spectrophotometer (UV-1800PC), marker pen, etc.

[0182] III. Experimental procedures

[0183] (1) Preparation of sample solution

[0184] Weigh an appropriate amount of the sample, accurate to 0.001 g, and place it in a 500 ml digestion tube (do not let the sample adhere to the bottleneck). First, drip a little water to moisten the sample, then add 6 mL of sulfuric acid, shake gently and let it stand overnight. Place a bent-neck funnel at the mouth of the tube and digest it on a digestion furnace at 250 °C first (start timing after the temperature stabilizes, about 30 min). After a large amount of white smoke emerges from the decomposition of H2SO4, raise the temperature to 400 °C. When the solution becomes uniformly dark brown, remove it.

[0185] After cooling slightly, add 10 drops of H2O2, shake well, and heat to just boiling. Digest for about 5 min, remove it and let it cool slightly. Repeat adding 5 - 10 drops of H2O2 and digesting. Repeat this 3 - 5 times. The amount of H2O2 added each time should be gradually reduced. Digest until the solution becomes colorless or clear and the bottom is grayish-white, then heat for about 5 - 10 min to remove the remaining H2O2.

[0186] Remove the digestion tube and let it cool. Rinse the bent-neck funnel with a small amount of water and let the washing solution flow into the digestion tube. Transfer the digestion solution into a 100 mL volumetric flask without loss, make up the volume with water, and shake well. Filter or let it stand for clarification for the determination of phosphorus.

[0187] (2) Preparation of blank solution

[0188] Except for not adding the sample, use the same reagents and operation steps as above.

[0189] (3) Plotting the standard curve

[0190] Respectively pipette 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14, 20 mL of 5 mg / L phosphorus standard solution into 50 mL volumetric flasks. At the same time, add the same volume of blank solution as the sample solution used in the colorimetric determination and 2 - 3 drops of dinitrophenol indicator. Then adjust the solution to just turn slightly yellow with 10% sodium carbonate solution or 5% sulfuric acid solution. Accurately add 5 mL of molybdenum antimony anti - color reagent, shake well, add water to make up the volume to the mark, and thus obtain a series of standard solutions with phosphorus contents of 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.0, 1.4, 2.0 mg / L respectively. Shake well, after standing at a temperature above 15 °C for 30 min, measure the absorbance at a wavelength of 880 nm. On the square coordinate paper, use the absorbance as the ordinate and the phosphorus concentration (mg / L) as the abscissa to draw the calibration curve.

[0191] (4) Determination of phosphorus in the sample solution

[0192] Pipette 2 - 10 mL of the sample solution to be measured (containing 0.04 - 1.0 g of phosphorus) into a 50 mL volumetric flask. Add 2 - 3 drops of dinitrophenol indicator, and adjust the solution to just turn slightly yellow with 10% sodium carbonate solution or 5% sulfuric acid solution. Accurately add 5 mL of molybdenum antimony anti - color reagent, shake well, add water to make up the volume to the mark. Place it for 30 min under the condition of room temperature above 15 °C.

[0193] For the colored sample solution on the spectrophotometer, use a 1 cm light path cuvette at 880 nm, adjust the instrument zero point with the blank test as the reference solution, conduct colorimetric determination, and read the absorbance. Check the corresponding phosphorus content from the standard curve.

[0194] IV. Result calculation

[0195] Total sample

[0196] In the formula:

[0197] C——The mass concentration of phosphorus in the colored solution obtained from the calibration curve or regression equation, μg / L;

[0198] C0——Blank value

[0199] V——Volume of the colored solution;

[0200] D——Dilution factor, volume of the digested solution made up to the mark / volume of the digested solution taken;

[0201] m——Mass of the sample taken, g;

[0202] 1000——Conversion factor for converting the unit mL to L. The obtained result should be retained to three decimal places.

[0203] Fluorescent quantitative qPCR primers:

[0204] GsMYB10_qF: 5'-GACTAAATGAGCAACTTCAGGTGC-3';

[0205] GsMYB10_qR: 5'-CTGAGAGGACACTTTTGACACTAGC-3'.

[0206] The results are as Figure 7 shown. Compared with WT, the primary root length and the number of lateral roots of transgenic plants increased, the aboveground fresh weight and the underground fresh weight of transgenic plants increased significantly, and the total phosphorus content of transgenic lines was significantly higher than that of the control group.

[0207] Experiment 6, Verification of GsMYB10 Tolerance to Low Phosphorus during the Whole Growth Period in Soil Culture

[0208] The transgenic soybean was planted in the greenhouse of the experimental network of South China Agricultural University in August 2024, and the soybean variety was Huachun 6.

[0209] The soybeans were set up into the following treatment groups: low phosphorus (LP) treatment experimental group, normal phosphorus (NP) treatment control group. Among them, each group included wild type (WT) and transgenic lines. WT was used as the within-group control (CK). The transgenic lines specifically included two lines, Gm10A and Gm10B. Each group was set with 3 replicates.

[0210] Treatment methods for treatment groups

[0211] Low phosphorus treatment experimental group: Uniformly spray 1 / 2 Hoagland solution containing 5 μmol / L K2HPO4 at the seedling stage, and irrigate the roots with 1 / 2 Hoagland solution containing 5 μmol / L K2HPO4 at the flowering stage and podding stage respectively. Normal phosphorus treatment group: Uniformly spray 1 / 2 Hoagland solution containing 500 μmol / L K2HPO4 at the seedling stage, and irrigate the roots with 1 / 2 Hoagland solution containing 500 μmol / L K2HPO4 at the flowering stage and podding stage respectively. A total of three treatments were carried out, one spraying and two irrigations. The spraying dosage of 1 / 2 Hoagland solution with low phosphorus and normal phosphorus at the seedling stage was about 7 L respectively, and the irrigation dosage of 1 / 2 Hoagland solution with low phosphorus and normal phosphorus at each time during the flowering stage and podding stage was about 15 L respectively.

[0212] After the soybeans matured, their growth conditions were photographed and recorded. The experimental results are as Figure 8As shown in the figure, in the LP and NP treatment groups, the growth of GsMYB10 transgenic soybeans was better than that of the WT control within the same group. Through yield trait analysis, it was found that the number of pods per plant and the height of the bottom pod of transgenic plants were higher than those of the control group under LP treatment. Under LP treatment, the plant height of transgenic plants of Gm10A was higher than that of the control group, and there were no obvious changes in other plant lines. There was no obvious change in 100-seed weight. The above results can help prove the application of this gene in plant tolerance to low phosphorus. Experiment 7: Verification of GsMYB10 tolerance to low phosphorus at the seedling stage in soil culture

[0213] The transgenic soybeans were planted in the experimental greenhouse of South China Agricultural University, and the soybean variety was Huachun 6.

[0214] The soybeans were set up into the following treatment groups: low phosphorus (LP) treatment experimental group and normal phosphorus (NP) treatment control group. Among them, each group included wild type (WT) and transgenic lines. WT was used as the control within the group (CK). The transgenic lines specifically included two lines, Gm10A and Gm10B. Each group was set with 3 replicates.

[0215] Treatment methods for treatment groups

[0216] Low phosphorus treatment experimental group: Uniformly spray 1 / 2 Hoagland solution containing 5 μmol / L K2HPO4 at the seedling stage. Normal phosphorus treatment group: Uniformly spray 1 / 2 Hoagland solution containing 500 μmol / L K2HPO4 at the seedling stage.

[0217] When the soybeans were cultured to the V2 stage, the growth conditions were photographed and recorded. The experimental results are as Figure 9 shown. Under low phosphorus (LP) and normal phosphorus (NP) treatment conditions, the above-ground weight of transgenic lines was significantly higher than that of the control group (CK).

[0218] The present invention provides the application of the GsMYB10 gene in regulating the tolerance of soybeans to low phosphorus stress.
