Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention pertains to biological research and relates to a method for isolating protoplasts of peat moss. Background Technology
[0002] Sphagnum moss is one of the most ecologically and economically valuable bryophytes. Research on sphagnum moss requires transgenic molecular biology studies. Protoplasts are important materials for plant molecular biology research. The isolation of most plant protoplasts ultimately relies on enzymatic hydrolysis of the cell wall. However, the cell walls of not all plant materials can be enzymatically hydrolyzed to isolate protoplasts. The key to protoplast isolation lies in cultivating suitable materials for protoplast isolation, as well as the pretreatment methods and hydrolysis time, hydrolysis osmotic conditions, and the determination of the protoplast isolation process. The specific details of protoplast isolation methods vary among different plants. Tissue culture of sphagnum moss has been achieved. However, an effective method for the isolation of sphagnum moss protoplasts has not yet been reported. Foreign literature reports obtaining 1.5 x 10^ ... 5 The current method for obtaining protoplasts is cumbersome and yields protoplasts with low genetic transformation efficiency. While a modified method based on the protoplast isolation method for *Moss sclerotium* in a graduate thesis in our lab can also extract protoplasts, this method is inefficient, and the obtained protoplasts are unclean and of poor quality, unsuitable for subsequent experimental procedures. Therefore, a method for obtaining clean, high-quality protoplasts is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a method for extracting protoplasts from peat moss. The method uses peat moss obtained through tissue culture as material, and after culturing under certain conditions for a certain period of time, it undergoes further pretreatment. After enzymatic hydrolysis for a certain period of time, the protoplasts are washed and separated using a specific method to obtain a large quantity of high-quality protoplasts.
[0004] This invention provides a method for isolating peat moss protoplasts, the method comprising the following steps:
[0005] 1) Tissue culture of stem and leaf tissue materials of peat moss;
[0006] 2) The material was subjected to mild mechanical damage followed by subculture.
[0007] 3) The culture material described in step 2) is subjected to mechanical pulverization pretreatment;
[0008] 4) After filtering the pulverized material described in step 3), immerse it in a certain amount of mannitol solution containing enzymatic hydrolysate for enzymatic hydrolysis;
[0009] 5) Filter the enzymatic hydrolysate obtained in step 4) and collect the filtrate;
[0010] 6) After multiple mannitol extractions, combine all the filtrates, centrifuge, and discard the supernatant to obtain crude peat moss protoplasts;
[0011] 7) After washing the crude protoplast obtained in step 6) with mannitol solution, high-quality protoplasts can be obtained.
[0012] In step 1), the stem and leaf material of the peat moss is fresh, healthy stem and leaf subcultured in liquid; wherein the subculture time does not exceed 60 days.
[0013] In step 2), the subculture time is 10-18 days; preferably, it is 14 days.
[0014] In step 3), the key point of the mechanical pulverization pretreatment is a short pulverization time and low intensity, which disperses the material but minimizes structural damage. The pulverization time is 2-5 seconds.
[0015] In step 4), the concentration of the mannitol solution is 6%-7.5%; preferably, it is 7%.
[0016] In step 4), the certain amount is more than 5 times the volume of the material.
[0017] In step 4), the enzymatic hydrolysis time is 5-8 hours; preferably, it is 6 hours.
[0018] In step 4), the enzyme is a breakdown enzyme, or a mixture of cellulase, hemicellulase and pectinase as its main components, or other mixtures containing the above three enzymes.
[0019] In this invention, the separation of protoplasts includes filtration and filtration after multiple washings, as well as centrifugation after combining the filtrates.
[0020] In step 6), the mannitol extraction refers to adding 5-10 times the volume of mannitol solution to the filtered material, mixing thoroughly, filtering, and collecting the filtrate.
[0021] In step 6), the concentration of the mannitol solution is 6%-7.5%; the multiple times refers to 1-3 times.
[0022] In step 7), the mannitol solution washing refers to adding 5-10 times the volume of mannitol solution to the centrifuged crude protoplast, mixing thoroughly, centrifuging, and discarding the supernatant.
[0023] In step 7), the concentration of the mannitol solution is 6%-7.5%; the number of washes is 1-2.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides a method for extracting protoplasts from peat moss, creating a sound technical foundation for further molecular biology research on peat moss. The method described in this invention uses far less material than existing methods (less than 1 / 10 of published methods abroad), and the yield of protoplasts obtained can exceed 10 times that of existing methods. Furthermore, the protoplasts are pure, maintain good viability, and can be used for genetic transformation. Attached Figure Description
