Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a gene for regulating tillering, and in particular to a gene for regulating tillering. DgCIN4 Genes and their applications. Background Art
[0002] Tillers are specialized branches that develop from lateral buds at the base of the stem of grasses. Tillering primarily occurs during the vegetative growth phase, gradually transitioning to the reproductive phase and developing effective reproductive branches. This is a key determinant of crop yield. For cereal crops, prolific tillering during the reproductive phase is a crucial factor influencing yield. For forage crops, both productive and non-productive tillers during the vegetative and reproductive phases contribute significantly to biomass yield, while productive tillers during the reproductive phase are a significant contributor to forage seed yield. For perennial forage grasses in particular, tillering also influences their asexual reproduction capacity and regeneration potential. Furthermore, tillering is a key determinant of plant structure, influencing yield through photosynthesis and energy supply pathways. Therefore, tillering is a crucial agronomic trait in grasses, particularly perennial forage grasses.
[0003] As an important perennial forage crop in the world, Dactylum sinensis ( Dactylis glomerata L Duckgrass (Cockgrass) is a grass with significant economic and ecological value. Due to its robust tillering ability, high nutritional value, adaptability, and large biomass, Duckgrass is widely utilized and cultivated worldwide. Tillering plays a crucial role in the biomass, seed yield, regeneration potential, and reproduction of Duckgrass and other perennial grass forage crops. Despite its agronomic importance, elucidating the genetic basis of tillering in the perennial forage grass Duckgrass remains slow and challenging due to its complex, highly heterozygous genome.
[0004] So far, only two genes DgCCD7 and DgCYC-C1 It has been shown to regulate the tillering of orchardgrass (Afavorable natural variation in CCD7 from orchardgrass confers enhanced tiller number. Plant Journal, 2025; Genome-wide association analysis reveals novel candidate loci and a gene regulating tiller number in orchardgrass. Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2024). However, these two orchardgrass tillering regulatory genes DgCCD7 and DgCYC-C1There are limitations in practical applications, such as DgCCD7 Negative regulation of tillering requires knocking out this gene to obtain new varieties with high tillering and high yield, which is a relatively complicated process; DgCYC-C1 Although the gene can positively regulate tillering, the increase in tillering is small.
[0005] Dactylis grass, an important perennial forage grass, is closely related to major crops such as rice, barley, and wheat. The discovery of genes regulating tillering in Dactylis grass can help diversify research on tillering in major crops like rice and barley, while also providing insights for other crops in the grass family. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify new genes that can positively regulate Dactylis grass tillering and be used in production practices.

[0033] The materials used in the following experimental examples are as follows: The high-tillering Duckweed variety "AKZ-NRGR667" was selected as the experimental material and planted in the Wenjiang campus of Sichuan Agricultural University.
[0034] Experimental Example 1 DgCIN4 Gene mapping Using the high-tillering Duckweed material "AKZ-NRGR667" and the low-tillering material "D20170203" as parents, the female parent "D20170203" and the male parent "AKZ-NRGR667" were crossed to obtain 9 F1 plants. The D-4-15 plant in the F1 was self-pollinated to produce an F2 population, and a total of 275 F2 plants with separated phenotypes were obtained. The number of tillers of all F2 plants was counted during the flowering period and arranged in descending order. Finally, the top 30 F2 plants with the highest number of tillers were selected to form the sequencing high-tiller pool, and the bottom 30 F2 plants with the lowest number of tillers were selected to form the sequencing low-tiller pool. The high-tiller and low-tiller pools were sequenced using BSA for QTL analysis, see [1]. Picture 1 In the candidate interval of Chr2 247Mb~251Mb, tillering regulatory genes were identified DgCIN4 .
[0035] Experimental Example 2 DgCIN4 Gene qRT-PCR analysis Leaf tissue samples from AKZ-NRGR6667 were collected at five stages: tiller bud, fully expanded first leaf, fully expanded second leaf, fully expanded third leaf, and fully expanded fourth leaf, with three biological replicates. Samples were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C for RNA extraction. Total RNA was extracted using the HiPure plant RNA Mini (Guangzhou, China). 1 μg of RNA was used as a template for reverse transcription. Reverse transcription was then performed using MonScript™ RTIII All-in-One Mix with dsDNase (Wuhan, China) to generate cDNA template. qRT-PCR reactions were then performed on a Bio-RAD CFX Connect (California, USA) using the MonAmp™ SYBR Green qPCR Kit (Wuhan, China) protocol.
[0036] The qRT-PCR reaction system was 10 μL and contained 5.0 μL SYBR Green qPCR Mix, 0.2 μL upstream and downstream primers, 3.6 μL HO, and 1 μL of a 4-fold diluted cDNA sample. The above experiments adhered to strict quantitative experimental standards and were performed with three biological replicates and three technical replicates. The sequences of the quantitative primers are as follows:

[0050] Mix by pipetting, centrifuge and add mineral oil; ligate at 16°C for 2 h; store in a 4°C refrigerator overnight.
[0051] (2) Transformation of ligation products a. Sterilize the clean bench for 30 minutes, take out 100 μL of competent E. coli cells from the -70°C ultra-low temperature freezer, place them on ice, and pre-cool for 10 minutes; b. Take out an Eppendorf tube, mark it, place it on ice, and add 80 μL of competent cells (operate on ice); c. Add 10 μL of the ligation product, pipette to mix thoroughly, and place on ice for 30 minutes; d. After the ice bath, heat shock the tube in a 42°C water bath for 90 seconds, then quickly place it in ice and ice bath for 2 minutes. e. Pipette 500 μL of LB liquid culture medium without Kan into the Eppendorf tube, mix well, and place in a shaker at 160 rpm and 37°C for 1 hour; f. Take out the Eppendorf tube from the shaker, centrifuge at 2000-3000 rpm for 5 min, discard 300 μL of the supernatant, gently pipette and mix the remaining bacterial solution, add it to the LB solid culture dish containing Kan, spread it evenly with a glass spreading rod, and spread it dry; culture it in a 37°C constant temperature incubator for 16-20 h.
[0052] 3. Arabidopsis transformation (1) Agrobacterium transformation: Take out the competent GV3101 from the -80℃ refrigerator, thaw on ice for 2~3 minutes, add 3~5μL of recombinant plasmid, and place on ice for 5 minutes. Place the EP tube in liquid nitrogen for quick freezing for 1 minute, place in a 37℃ water bath for 5 minutes, place on ice for 2 minutes, add 800μL of antibiotic-free liquid LB medium, and culture at 28℃ shaker at 150rpm / min for 3 hours. Centrifuge at 8000rpm / min for 1 minute, discard 600μL of the supernatant, suspend, and apply to solid LB medium (containing 50μg / mL Kan and 50μg / mL rifampicin), and culture in an incubator at 28℃ for 48 hours. Pick a single clone and identify it by PCR using gene-specific primers DG349-F / R primers;
[0053] (2) Arabidopsis planting: Choose a soil with good water absorption and soft vermiculite mixed with substrate (mass ratio 2:1) as the soil for Arabidopsis planting. Choose a flower pot with a diameter of 9 cm and sow 50-100 seeds in each pot. After sowing, water and cover the soil to provide a moist environment for the growth of the plants. The growth conditions for Arabidopsis in the room are a light intensity of 2000-3000 lx, a light duration of 14 hours / day, and a humidity of 40-60%;
[0054] (3) Transplanting: 10-15 days after sowing, when the Arabidopsis seedlings have grown to four leaves, transplant them, 4-5 seeds per pot; (4) Topping: Water the plants every three days after transplanting and add nutrient solution every two weeks. After about 25 to 30 days, cut off the flower buds when the Arabidopsis first blooms. This can promote the proliferation of more flower branches on the side branches. The flowers of the plants suitable for transformation have not matured and have not produced fertilized siliques.
[0055] (5) Prepare the infection solution: Resuspend the aforementioned Agrobacterium in 5% sucrose solution to an OD of 600nm = 0.8. To keep the sucrose solution fresh, it can be prepared and used immediately without sterilization. 100-200 mL can be used to infect 2-3 small pots of plants, and 400-500 mL can be used to infect 2-3 9cm pots of plants. Add the surfactant Silwet-77 to a concentration of 0.05% (500 μL / L) before inoculation.
[0056] (6) Infection: Immerse the surface of the flower of Arabidopsis thaliana at the flowering stage in the Agrobacterium suspension for 20–30 seconds while gently rotating; (7) Dark culture: bag the infected plants and culture them in a dark room under high humidity for 24 hours; (8) Cultivation after immersion: Water every other day to ensure sufficient moisture; (9) Seed collection: Seeds can be collected after the seeds are mature and the siliques naturally crack; (10) Screening of transgenic seeds: Culture the seeds obtained by immersion on plates containing hygromycin antibiotics. About 200 seeds of 40 mg are vernalized for 2 days on 0.5×MS medium containing 10-50 μg / mL hygromycin, and then cultured under continuous light conditions for 7-10 days. Determine whether they are transgenic seeds based on their growth conditions. Seeds that have been successfully transferred with the recombinant plasmid can normally grow more than 4 true leaves on the resistant medium. Non-transgenic seeds cannot grow normally and can only grow 2 cotyledons. The growth of roots is also severely inhibited and they generally die after 10 days of germination.
[0057] (11) Transgenic plants were transferred to soil for cultivation: After the transgenic seeds germinated on MS+hygromycin plates for 2 weeks, the positive plants were transferred to soil for further cultivation. The specific method was as follows: genomic DNA was extracted from the leaves of the positive plants and PCR verification was performed using the target gene-specific primers DG349-F / R sequence. The PCR amplification system is shown in Table 4. The PCR reaction program was as follows: pre-denaturation at 98°C for 5 minutes; the cycle was denaturation at 98°C for 10 seconds, annealing at 55°C for 30 seconds, extension at 72°C for 1 minute, 35 cycles; extension at 72°C for 5 minutes.
[0058] The sequence of the upstream primer DG349-F is as follows (SEQ ID NO.7): gacatacatggttgctggac; The sequence of the downstream primer DG349-R is as follows (SEQ ID NO.8): cagtcatctacgacagcatc.

[0060] When the T3 generation transgenic plants grew to the bolting stage, the tillers of the transgenic Arabidopsis plants and the non-transgenic wild-type Arabidopsis plants were counted.
[0061] like Picture 4 As shown, the present invention DgCIN4 Gene overexpression in Arabidopsis thaliana ( DgCIN4-OE1 and DgCIN4-OE2 ) and wild type (WT) tillering phenotypes, such as Picture 5 As shown, the present invention DgCIN4 The results showed that the transgenic plants obtained by the present invention had a higher tiller number than the wild type plants. DgCIN4 The tillering ability of the genetic Arabidopsis strain was significantly higher than that of the wild-type Arabidopsis control, with the tillering increasing by more than 70%, indicating that DgCIN4 Gene overexpression can improve the tillering ability of plants.
