[0059] (2) Overexpression Sg T MEM208 Effects of aluminum tolerance on Yunnan black soybeans: This invention utilizes the overexpression of aluminum in this variety. Sg T MEM208 To explore the aluminum tolerance function of this gene, the mCherry gene was used to emit red light at 540 nm. Positive hair roots were screened using a LUYOR-3415RG handheld fluorescent protein excitation light source. Root length and other parameters of the overexpressing positive hair roots were then measured. Figure 8 It can be seen that overexpression Sg T MEM208 The plants that were transformed with the empty vector emitted a reddish glow, while the plants transformed with the empty vector appeared dull and did not emit light. Further testing was conducted... Sg T MEM208 To investigate the effect of overexpression on aluminum tolerance in Yunnan black soybean, unexpressed (EV) and overexpressed (OE) plants of similar size and at the same growth stage were treated with aluminum. Previous laboratory studies showed that Yunnan black soybean exhibited significant aluminum resistance at a concentration of 50 μM / L, therefore, this study used an aluminum concentration of 50 μM / L for treatment. After 24 h of treatment with 50 μM / L AlCl3, the relative root elongation of the overexpressed plants was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05, see...). Figure 9 ).
[0060] (3) Evans blue staining was used to examine the root tip damage of the plants. Figure 10 As shown in Figure A, compared with the EV group, the root tip damage of Yunnan black soybeans in the OE group was significantly less after treatment with 50 μmol / L aluminum (P<0.05). The citrate secretion levels before and after treatment in the overexpression and empty vector groups are shown in Figure A. Figure 10 B. There was no significant difference between the OE group and the EV group under the 0 treatment (P>0.05), but the amount of citric acid secreted by the root tips of soybeans in the OE group was significantly higher than that in the EV group after treatment with 50 μmol / L (P<0.05).
[0061] (4) The aluminum content in the root tips of the treated Yunnan black soybeans was determined, and the cumulative aluminum content in the root tips was visually reflected by chromium azure S staining. The results are as follows: Figure 11As shown, under the condition of 0 μmol / L aluminum treatment, the root tip aluminum content of the EV group is similar to that of the OE group, and there is no significant difference (P>0.05); after 50 μmol / L aluminum treatment, the root tip aluminum content of the overexpression group is significantly lower than that of the empty vector group (P<0.05). Sg T MEM208
[0062] (5) Under aluminum stress, plants accumulate ROS active oxygen substances, causing oxidative damage, so the key enzymes related to oxidative stress of Yunnan black soybean are determined to prove the aluminum tolerance function of the gene. These antioxidant enzymes include MDA, POD, SOD and CAT. As shown in the results, compared with the control empty vector group, the MDA accumulation of the overexpression group is significantly reduced (P<0.05), and the contents of the three antioxidant key enzymes POD, SOD and CAT are significantly increased (P<0.05), which indicates that the overexpression improves the antioxidant capacity of the plant.
