Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering technology, specifically relating to a method for improving the abiotic resistance of passion fruit. PenCBP Genes and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Eukaryotic translation initiation factors (eIFs) play a crucial role in the regulation of plant gene expression, among which the novel cap-binding protein (nCBP) belongs to the eIF4E protein family. eIF4E and its isoform eIFiso4E, as typical cap-binding proteins, participate in the regulation of translation initiation in plant cells. Similar to other eIF4E family proteins, nCBP possesses a conserved IF4E domain, enabling it to specifically recognize the m7G cap structure at the 5' end of mRNA. This recognition activates mRNA, and through interactions with other initiation factors such as eIF4E and eIF4G, ultimately leads to mRNA translation. In Arabidopsis thaliana (… Arabidopsis thaliana In this study, nCBP is involved in male gametophyte development, root growth, and responses to biotic stress.

[0047] Example 2: Passiflora edulis PenCBP Expression analysis of the gene under different abiotic stresses

[0048] Healthy plants were selected for sampling after growing about 1 meter and having 8-10 functional leaves, and were prepared for determining the Passiflora edulis transcriptome data generated under different stresses. The growth conditions of the Passiflora edulis plants were 200 μmol / (m 2 ·s) light intensity at 30°C; 12h light / 12h dark cycle; 70% relative humidity. Healthy Passiflora edulis of purple fruit variety were selected at the same period and sampled after the following stress treatments, and the growth conditions of the plants were ensured to be consistent before sampling. Healthy virus-free Passiflora edulis seedlings of yellow fruit variety were subjected to the following stress treatments:

[0049] High-temperature stress treatment: the Passiflora edulis plants were placed at 42°C for 2, 4 and 24h.

[0050] Low-temperature stress treatment: the Passiflora edulis plants were incubated at 4°C for 20 and 48h.

[0051] Salt stress treatment: the Passiflora edulis plants were irrigated with 300mM NaCL liquid for 3 days and 10 days.

[0052] Drought stress: the relative water content of the soil was 50% and 10%.

[0053] At least three leaves were extracted from each treated plant (three biological replicates), and the obtained passion fruit leaves were rapidly frozen in liquid nitrogen. RNA was extracted for subsequent qRT-PCR detection.

[0054] Primers for real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) of the PenCBP gene were designed using the online website (https: / / qprimerdb.biodb.org / analysis). The primers are shown in Table 3. The MonAmp™ ChemoHS qPCR Mix kit was used. PenCBP Genes were validated by qRT-PCR using EF1α as an internal reference. PenCBP Gene expression patterns under different stresses.

[0055] Extract using TBtools software PenCBP The sequence of the natural promoter of the gene (SEQ ID NO: 3), which is 2000 characters in length, was obtained using the PlantCARE online website (https: / / bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be / webtools / plantcare / html / ). PenCBP The natural promoter sequence of the gene (SEQ ID NO: 3) was analyzed.

[0056] The promoter sequence at position 935(+) is ACGTG, belonging to ABRE (abscisic acid response element), which participates in plant responses to abiotic stresses such as drought through the ABA signaling pathway. The promoter sequence at position 1953(-) is CCGAAA, belonging to LTR (low temperature response element). LTR cis elements are key regulatory sequences in plant cold stress response genes and are typically recognized by CBF / DREB1 transcription factors. Besides ABRE and LTR, PenCBP Natural promoters of genes also contain other cis elements (such as MYB / MYC, G-box) associated with abiotic stress responses, and the presence of these elements indicates... PenCBP Gene expression can be regulated through multiple stress signaling pathways such as ABA, low temperature, and drought, thereby playing a role in plant stress resistance.
