Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of plant genetic engineering technology, specifically involving LsMOC1 Genes or containing LsMOC1 Application of gene-related biomaterials. Background Technology

[0002] Lysimachia ( Leymus secalinus Leymus chinensis (also known as Elephantgrass) is a perennial high-quality forage grass belonging to the genus Erythrina in the Poaceae family. It is widely distributed in temperate grasslands of Eurasia, playing a particularly important role in the ecosystems of arid, semi-arid, and saline-alkali regions of Northeast, North, and Northwest my country. With its well-developed rhizomatous system, it is a pioneer plant and key species for grassland ecological restoration, degraded grassland management, saline-alkali land improvement, and soil and water conservation. Furthermore, Leymus chinensis is of excellent quality, palatability, and high nutritional value, making it an important forage resource and a significant source of crude protein for ruminant livestock during winter and spring supplementation. However, while wild Leymus chinensis germplasm is abundant, it generally has a short growing season and premature yellowing and withering, resulting in insufficient biomass accumulation within its limited growth cycle. Moreover, its slow regeneration after mowing and the resulting year-round supply shortage severely restrict its large-scale application in grassland animal husbandry and desertification control. Simultaneously, with the continuous changes in global climate change and the ecological environment, Leymus chinensis faces challenges from various abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and low temperatures.

[0101] 3.2 Screening for positive transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings

[0102] The T0 generation Arabidopsis thaliana seeds were sterilized and laid on a board in a clean bench, specifically as follows:

[0103] a. Seed disinfection: T0 generation Arabidopsis thaliana seeds were disinfected sequentially with 75 v / v% alcohol for 1 min, 7.5 v / v% hypochlorous acid for 1 min, and rinsed five times with sterile water;

[0104] b. After sterilization, the seeds were evenly sown onto MS solid medium containing 100 μg / mL hygromycin and 50 μg / mL kanamycin. After drying the surface of the medium, the plates were sealed and vernalized for 2 days at 4°C in the dark.

[0105] c. After vernalization, transfer the petri dishes to an environment with a temperature of 23℃, a day length of 16h / d, and a light intensity of 40 μmol·m⁻². -2 ·s -1 After being cultured in an incubator for 7 days, the culture was transferred to a substrate made of a 3:1 volume ratio of nutrient soil and vermiculite for further cultivation. Figure 4 After two weeks of cultivation, Arabidopsis leaves were harvested, and leaf DNA was extracted using the CTAB method to screen for positive seedlings. Figure 5 ), obtained expression LsMOC1 Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana seeds were collected after the positive seedlings matured; the seeds were then subcultured to obtain stable T3 generation transgenic seeds for preservation.

[0106] Example 3: LsMOC1 Effects on plant phenotype

[0107] In order to explore overexpression LsMOC1 The effects of gene overexpression on Arabidopsis thaliana phenotype were analyzed. LsMOC1 The phenotypes of the underground and aboveground parts of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana were determined, and the data were analyzed using software. The experimental methods are as follows.

[0108] overexpression LsMOC1 Effects of genes on root development: Wild-type and overexpression genes prepared in Example 2 were compared. LsMOC1 Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana seeds were sown in MS medium petri dishes and vernalized for 2 days at 4°C in the dark. After vernalization, the petri dishes were transferred to an incubator at 23°C and 16 h / d for 7 days to promote seed germination and seedling formation. Germinated Arabidopsis seedlings were then transplanted into 13cm × 13cm MS square petri dishes and cultured vertically for another 7 days. After cultivation, root length of the seedlings was measured using ImageJ software, and preliminary data statistics and bar charts were generated. One-way ANOVA and significance analysis were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 software (based on...). P <0.05 is considered significant). Three biological replicates were set up for each control and treatment group.

[0109] overexpression LsMOC1 Effects of genes on aboveground development: Wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana and overexpressing genes... LsMOC1 Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana seeds were sown individually in the center of 9cm diameter circular flowerpots. The substrate was a composite medium of nutrient soil and vermiculite in a 3:1 volume ratio. The flowerpots were placed in a culture room at 23℃ with a light duration of 14h / d. Phenotypic differences among the lines were observed and photographed daily. Plant height and leaf area were measured using ImageJ software. One-way ANOVA and significance analysis were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25. P <0.05). Both the control and treatment sets were configured with 3 biological replicates.

[0110] The experimental results are as follows:

[0111] Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that overexpression LsMOC1 Compared with the wild type, the taproot length and the number of lateral roots in the Arabidopsis thaliana were not significantly different, indicating that... LsMOC1 The gene had no significant effect on root morphogenesis under normal culture conditions.

[0112] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when transgenic lines and wild-type plants grown on MS plates were transplanted into nutrient soil and cultured normally, during the bolting period in the 4th week, both transgenic and wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana bolted simultaneously. However, with the same number of culture days, the transgenic lines bolted more slowly than the wild-type. LsMOC1Arabidopsis thaliana is smaller in size; measurements of leaf coverage show that the wild-type has approximately 1.5 times the leaf coverage of the transgenic lines. After about six weeks of normal culture, the leaf coverage of the transgenic lines grew to a size comparable to the wild-type. Compared to the wild-type, the transgenic lines had more leaves and more bolting points. Simultaneously, during the seed-setting stage... LsMOC1 The transgenic lines had shorter main stems than the wild-type lines, which were approximately 1.3 times taller than the transgenic lines. By week eight, the wild-type Arabidopsis had already reached maturity and the plants withered, while the overexpressing transgenic lines… LsMOC1 The transgenic strains are beginning to enter the mature stage, with the whole plant being dark green. Although the leaves are slightly yellow and some pods are beginning to turn brown, their growth phenology is significantly delayed and their growth cycle is extended compared to the wild type.

[0113] The above experimental results show that LsMOC1 Genes cause Arabidopsis thaliana to lag phenological stages, slow growth, prolong the growth cycle, and affect plant height, leaf area, and number of branches at different growth and development stages.

The growth status of Arabidopsis roots in each treatment group under different stress conditions was photographed and recorded. Root length and lateral root number were measured using ImageJ software. The differences in response of each line under drought, ABA, salt, and GA3 treatments were analyzed by comparing the results between groups. One-way ANOVA and significance analysis were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 software (based on...). P <0.05 is considered significant).
