[0052] 1.4, Construction of plant expression vector.

[0053] (1) Plasmid extraction.

[0054] E. coli DH5a containing plant expression vector pRI101-eGFP was inoculated in LB liquid medium with a concentration of 50 μg / mL kanamycin, and cultured at 150 rpm and 37°C overnight. The plasmid was extracted using the kit "Plasmid Miniprep Purification Kit II" of Tiangen. The steps are as follows:

[0055] Take 10 mL of the cultured bacteria and centrifuge at 12000 g for 1 min. Discard the supernatant and add 200 μL of Solution I to the precipitate. Resuspend the cells by vortexing at high speed. Add 200 μL of Solution II and immediately invert the centrifuge tube 5 times. Add 200 μL of Solution III and immediately invert the centrifuge tube 5 times. Centrifuge the lysate at 12000 g for 5 min. Carefully transfer the supernatant to a filter column with a sleeve and centrifuge at 12000 g for 1 min. Discard the filtrate and add 500 μL of Wash solution A to the filter column and centrifuge at the same speed for 1 min. Discard the filtrate and add 700 μL of Wash solution B to the filter column and centrifuge at the same speed for 1 min. Discard the filtrate in the sleeve and centrifuge at 12000 g for 3 min to remove the ethanol completely. Place the filter column in a new centrifuge tube and add 60 μL of Elution Solution preheated at 65 °C to the center of the filter membrane. Allow it to stand at room temperature for 2 min. Centrifuge at 12000 g for 1 min. Store the filtrate at -20 °C. Use a NanoDrop 2000 spectrophotometer to detect the concentration of the plasmid: take 2 μL of the plasmid DNA sample and place it in the sample well. Observe and record the values of the concentration, A260 / A280 and A260 / A230.

[0056] (2) Linearization and purification of the plasmid.

[0057] Add 1 μg of the extracted circular plasmid pRI-101-eGFP to a PCR tube, add 5 mL of reaction Buffer and 1 μL of each of Xba I and BamH I, and finally add water to 50 μL. Incubate at 37 °C for 3 h. Xba I and BamH I are both purchased from BioLabs, and the enzyme activity of each of Xba I and BamH I is 20000 units / mL.

[0058] The reaction product was purified by gel recovery, and the kit was "TaKaRa MiniBEST Agarose Gel DNA Extraction Kit Ver.4.0". First, the reaction product was mixed with the Loading Buffer and added to the 1% wt agarose gel loading well, and electrophoresis was performed at 120V for 40min. After electrophoresis, in the gel imaging system, the target fragment gel block was cut and placed in a 1.5mL centrifuge tube. 600μL of gel block dissolution Buffer GM was added to the centrifuge tube, mixed evenly, and the gel block was dissolved at 37°C for 30min. When the gel block was completely dissolved, the solution was transferred to a Spin Column pre-added with a sleeve, centrifuged at room temperature at 12000rpm for 1min, and the filtrate was discarded. 700μL of Buffer WB was added to the Spin Column, centrifuged at room temperature at 12000rpm for 30s, and the filtrate was discarded. Buffer WB was used for repeated washing once. The Spin Column was repositioned in the collection tube and centrifuged at 12000rpm for 2min to remove excess ethanol. The Spin Column was placed in a new centrifuge tube, 30μL of Elution Buffer was added to the center of the membrane, and it was left at room temperature for 1min. The linear plasmid was eluted by centrifugation at room temperature at 12000rpm for 2min. After detecting the linear plasmid, it was stored in the -20°C refrigerator for standby use.

[0059] (3) One-step cloning.

[0060] One-step cloning uses the NovoRec® plus One step PCR Cloning Kit produced by Suzhou Coastal Protein Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The specific operation steps are as follows: first, prepare the reaction system, add 5×CE IIBuffer 4μL, linearized cloning vector 200μL, insert fragment amplification product VvDT41-2 of cDNA 200μL, Exnase®II 2μL, and then add ddH2O to make up to 20μL volume. After the system is prepared, mix the components with a pipette by blowing up and down several times. After 37°C reaction for 30min, immediately place the reaction tube in an ice water bath for cooling for 5min.

[0061] Take 20μL of the cooled reaction solution and add it to 200μL of competent E. coli DH5α cell solution, mix by flicking several times, and place on ice for 30min. Heat shock at 42°C for 90s, and incubate in an ice water bath for 2min. Add 900μL of SOC medium, incubate at 37°C for 10min to fully recover. Shake the bacteria at 37°C at 150rpm for 45min. Take 100μL of bacterial solution and evenly spread it on a plate containing kanamycin. Incubate at 37°C overnight.

[0062] After overnight incubation, colonies grew, and then clone identification was performed. First, colony PCR verification was conducted. Then, double enzyme digestion verification was performed. Colonies that tested positive for colony PCR were inoculated into LB medium containing kanamycin and incubated overnight at 37°C and 150 rpm. The reaction product was mixed with loading buffer and added to the wells of a 1% wt agarose gel, and electrophoresis was performed at 120V for 30 min. The enzyme digestion products were observed using a gel imaging system. Finally, the samples that tested positive for double enzyme digestion were sent to the company for sequencing, and the successfully sequenced clones were preserved, thus obtaining the recombinant overexpression vector.

[0063] 1.5 Subcellular localization.

[0064] E. coli containing the recombinant overexpression vector were inoculated into LB broth containing kanamycin and incubated overnight at 37°C and 150 rpm. The plasmid was extracted and the constructed recombinant overexpression vector was recovered using agarose gel electrophoresis. The vector was then transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Agrobacterium tumefaciens) using electroporation. Rhizobium radiocbactor In LBA4404 Electro-Cells, competent cells were thawed on ice before use. On ice, 1 ng of recombinant overexpression vector was added to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube containing 20 μL of competent cells and gently mixed. The electroporator was set to 25 μF, 200 Ω, and 2–2.5 kV. The competent cells and recombinant overexpression vector were transferred to a pre-chilled 0.1 cm electroporation cuvette, and the cuvette was placed in a Gene Pulser II for electroporation. The cuvette was removed, 1 mL of SOC medium was added, and the mixture was transferred to a round-bottom centrifuge tube and cultured at 30°C with shaking at 100 rpm for 1 h. 50 μL of cells were plated onto LB solid medium containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin and 100 μg / mL streptomycin. The cells were incubated upside down at 30°C for 48 h. After incubation, cell clone identification was performed; positive clones were identified as recombinant positive Agrobacterium.

[0065] Recombinant positive Agrobacterium was scraped from a solid culture dish using an inoculation loop and inoculated into 10 mL of YEB liquid medium. The culture was carried out at 170 rpm / min for 1 h. After centrifugation at 4000 rpm / min for 4 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the bacterial cells were collected. The cells were resuspended in a 10 mM MgCl2 suspension containing 120 μM acetylsylcholine, and the OD was adjusted to approximately 0.6. Healthy tobacco plants were selected, and injections were made into the lower epidermis of tobacco leaves using a 1 mL syringe (without the syringe tip). The injection sites were then labeled. The injected tobacco plants were cultured under low light for 2 days. The tobacco leaves were then prepared into slides, and the subcellular localization was observed and photographed under a laser confocal microscope.

[0066] 1.6 Construction of overexpression plants.

[0067] The present application is carried out in the laboratory of the Northwest A&F University Wine College. On August 5, 2021, 'Cabernet Sauvignon' grape clusters were taken from the Yangling Caoxinzhuang Experimental Demonstration Base and quickly transported back to the laboratory. The clusters were sequentially disinfected with 70% v / v ethanol, 4% v / v sodium hypochlorite solution, and sterile water. Then, uniform-sized berries were cut off with sterile scissors, leaving about 3 mm of stem, and immediately placed in a culture dish containing 2% wt sucrose solution for use.

[0068] The above recombinant positive Agrobacterium was inoculated into LB liquid medium containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin and 100 μg / mL streptomycin, and expanded at 30°C, 100 rpm for 24 h. At this time, the recombinant positive Agrobacterium was in the exponential growth phase, and the infection activity was best. The culture solution was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 min, and the supernatant was discarded. 2 mL of 10 mM MgCl2 suspension containing 120 μM acetosyringone was added to resuspend the cells. The cells were washed once more with the suspension to completely remove the antibiotics to avoid affecting the subsequent infection test. After washing, the cells were resuspended with the suspension, and the OD 600 =0.8 of the bacterial solution was adjusted, i.e. the infection solution was obtained. After adding the infection solution to the culture dish, the disinfected grapes were placed in the culture dish, the resuspension solution was immersed in the stem, and the culture dish was transferred to the plant incubator, 20°C, 16 h light-8 h dark for culture, and the infection was carried out by stem absorption of the culture solution.

[0069] 1.7, Sample collection.

[0070] After starting the in vitro culture, samples were collected once a day until the end of the culture, and the last sample was collected from all in vitro fruits. Immediately after each collection, the fruits were quickly frozen with liquid nitrogen, and then stored in a -80°C refrigerator.

[0071] 2, Results and analysis.

[0072] 2.1, VvDT41-2 Cloning.

[0073] Figure 1 The agarose gel electrophoresis map of colony PCR amplification, VvDT41-2 1515 bp in length, indicating that the VvDT41-2 of the present application has been successfully cloned.

[0074] 2.2, Subcellular localization.

[0075] In order to determine the position of the above-mentioned gene to play a role, the present application first predicts the positioning site of the gene through the PSORT tool, and then uses the laser confocal microscope for subcellular localization analysis and verification. Figure 2 The subcellular localization result. PSORT tool: https: / / wolfpsort.hgc.jp / .

[0076] The PSORT prediction result shows VvDT41-2 Most likely to be located in the vacuole membrane or Golgi membrane, the encoded protein is most likely to be a vacuole membrane protein or an integral membrane protein; the subcellular localization result shows that there is only clear fluorescence around the cytoplasmic membrane and no fluorescence in the nucleus, indicating that VvDT41-2 The gene is most likely to be located in the vacuole membrane or Golgi membrane.

[0077] 2.3, Construction of overexpression plants.

[0078] (1) Phenotype observation.

[0079] After transient expression of the gene, VvDT41-2 The expression amount is significantly increased, indicating that the treatment of the application successfully leads to VvDT41-2 Overexpression of the gene in the isolated grape. Figure 3 For VvDT41-2 Phenotype observation of the isolated grape after transient expression of the gene. It can be known that Figure 3 The number of grapes starting to change color and the degree of color change in the treatment group are obviously higher than those in CK. VvDT41-2

[0080] (2) Flavonoid content analysis.

[0081] Flavonoids are an important class of plant secondary metabolites, including anthocyanins, flavanols, flavonols and other compounds. These substances gradually accumulate during grape fruit development, especially during the grape color change period, i.e. the stage when the fruit changes from green to red or purple. Anthocyanins are the main coloring substances in grape skin, and their types and contents directly affect the color of grape fruits. In addition to anthocyanins as the main coloring substances, other flavonoids such as flavonols and flavanols also have auxiliary effects on grape color change. Flavonols and flavanols can combine with anthocyanins to enhance the stability of anthocyanins, thereby improving the brightness of grape fruit color.

[0082] Through omics analysis, the application finds that fruit illumination has a significant impact on key genes and metabolites of the flavonoid pathway, and transcriptome verification analysis of the flavonoid pathway finds VvPAL , VvCHS , VvF3H1 , VvLAR1 , VvANR , VvFLS1 , VvGST1 , VvMATE1 , VvMYBPA1 , VvMYBPA2 , VvDT41-1 , VvDT41-2 , VvMYB61 , VvMYB86 which play a key regulatory role. The application further clones and functionally verifies VvDT41-2 The results are shown in Figures 4-7 ​In VvDT41-2 In the overexpressing grape, the total flavonoids did not change significantly; but VvDT41-2 After overexpression, the total anthocyanin content and total tannin content in grape were significantly improved, so it was speculated that it played a key regulatory role in the content change of flavonoid substances.

[0083] Each technical feature of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily, and to make the description concise, each technical feature in the above-described embodiments is not described in all possible combinations, however, as long as the combination of these technical features does not exist contradictory, it should be considered as the scope of the description.

[0084] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which are within the scope of protection of the present application.
