[0070] (1) Screening

[0071] ① The transgenic tobacco seeds were placed in a sterilized 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, disinfected with 2.5 v / v% sodium hypochlorite for 10 min, then disinfected with 75 v / v% anhydrous ethanol for 2 min, and washed with sterile water for 5 times.

[0072] ② The disinfected seeds were transferred to a sterilized filter paper and the sterile water on the seeds was blown dry, and then the seeds were sowed on MS solid medium containing 50 μg / mL hygromycin, and cultured at 25°C under the condition of 16 h light / 8 h dark.

[0073] (2) Planting

[0074] The nutrient soil was mixed with vermiculite at a volume ratio of 1:1 to obtain culture soil, and then the culture soil was moved into a flowerpot, and the screened positive plants were moved into the pot for culture. Each plant in the pot was numbered and placed in an artificial climate chamber for culture under the condition of 25°C, 16 h light / 8 h dark, and illumination of 50 μmoL / m 2 / s.

[0075] (3) Treatment

[0076] The T2 generation tobacco seeds were placed in a 28°C oven for 5 d to dry the water, and then were vernalized in a 4°C refrigerator for 2 d. The vernalized positive strains and wild type strain seeds were respectively placed in 1.5 mL test tubes, disinfected with 75 v / v% anhydrous ethanol for 30 s, then disinfected with 10 v / v% H2O2 for 5 min, washed with sterile water for 5 times, and then the sterile water on the seeds was blown dry on a sterilized filter paper. The seeds were sowed on MS solid medium.

[0077] The transgenic tobacco strains and wild type tobacco strains grown on the culture medium for 20 d were photographed before waterlogging treatment, then water was added to the culture dish to submerge the tobacco strains, and the tobacco phenotype changes were observed after 5 d of waterlogging.

[0078] The results are shown in Table 1. AhMFT8 Compared with before treatment, the wild type tobacco plants after waterlogging stress had a poor growth state, and the root length had no obvious change, but the leaves were yellow, wilted, and severely shriveled. Compared with the wild type tobacco plants, AhMFT10 the transgenic tobacco, AhMFT14Transgenic tobacco, AhMFT1 Transgenic tobacco, AhMFT1 Transgenic tobacco, AhMFT1 Transgenic tobacco and AhMFT1 Transgenic tobacco grows well after waterlogging stress, wherein Figure 4 The transgenic tobacco leaf has no wrinkling phenomenon, the root length of the strain has obvious growth, the number of lateral roots increases, and the waterlogging stress resistance is most prominent.

[0079] The present application further verifies AhMFT1 The effect of the gene on the waterlogging resistance of tobacco, and the specific process is as follows.

[0080] The AhMFT1 Transgenic tobacco strain samples 10-4, 10-6, 10-8 and wild type tobacco strains are transplanted into pots for culture, the soil in the pot is mixed with nutrient soil and vermiculite at a mass ratio of 1:1, and after 8 weeks of culture, waterlogging treatment is carried out, and experimental groups and control groups are set up, each group has 3 biological repeats. The experimental group is placed in a waterlogging box for treatment, and water is added to the position 5cm above the soil, and the control group grows normally, and the other conditions are the same, and after 0h, 1d, 3d and 5d of waterlogging, the phenotype changes of the two groups of tobacco are observed, and the survival rate and the water loss rate of the plants are measured.

[0081] The determination method of the water loss rate is as follows: 0.5g of tobacco leaves is weighed, the initial weight is recorded, then the leaves are placed at room temperature, and the weight change is recorded every 20min, and finally the water loss rate is calculated by the water loss rate formula.

[0082] The water loss rate = (initial weight value-measured weight value) / initial weight value * 100%.

[0083] The determination method of the survival rate is as follows: wild type control plants and overexpression Figure 5 Tobacco soil culture seedlings are cultured in a greenhouse, the initial total number of planting is recorded, and after 8 weeks of culture, waterlogging treatment is carried out, and after 5 days of waterlogging, the number of surviving plants is recorded.

[0084] The survival rate = (the number of surviving plants ÷ the initial total number of planting) * 100%

[0085] As AhMFT1 shown, AhMFT1 The survival rate of the transgenic tobacco is significantly higher than that of the wild type tobacco, and the water loss rate is also lower than that of the wild type tobacco, indicating AhMFT1 Overexpression can improve the resistance of plants to waterlogging stress.

[0086] AhMFT1 It is shown that Xba The growth of the four transgenic tobacco strains after 5 days of waterlogging treatment is obviously better than that of the wild type tobacco, and in summary, overexpression of AhMFT1 can improve the resistance of plants to waterlogging stress.
