Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nucleic acids, and in particular to a deletion mutant nucleic acid and its application in herbicide resistance. Background Technology

[0002] In agricultural production, the use of herbicides is crucial for increasing crop yields and reducing labor costs. However, with the long-term and extensive use of herbicides, weed resistance has become increasingly prominent, leading to decreased weed control effectiveness and even phytotoxicity. To address this issue, scientists are dedicated to developing new herbicides and corresponding herbicide-resistant crop varieties. Among these, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors have attracted widespread attention due to their high efficiency, low toxicity, and environmental friendliness. These herbicides inhibit HPPD enzyme activity, blocking the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, causing weed leaves to whiten and eventually die. HPPD inhibitor herbicides are mainly used in upland crops such as corn, wheat, and barley, but common rice is extremely sensitive to them; even small amounts can cause rice seedlings to show whitening symptoms or even die. Therefore, creating rice varieties resistant to HPPD inhibitor herbicides is of great application value for ensuring agricultural production safety and improving the efficiency of herbicide use.

[0039] Rice transformation and screening and identification of nicosulfuron-resistant rice using the pHZLib-Cas12i3-crRNA(Pool01) to pHZLib-Cas12i3-crRNA(Pool06) plasmid library.

[0040] 1) Rice callus induction: Hulled mature Nanjing 46 rice seeds were treated with 50% commercial disinfectant for 30 minutes, then washed 3 to 5 times with sterile water. The seeds were then transferred to sterile petri dishes, and excess water was absorbed with sterile absorbent paper. The seeds were placed on MSD solid medium (4.43 g / L MS powder (Murashige and Skoog medium); 30 g / L sucrose; 2 ml / L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid; 8 g / L agar powder; pH 5.7) and cultured in a light-controlled environment for 10 days to induce callus formation. The embryo and bud of the seeds were removed, and the callus tissue was transferred to a new MSD plate and cultured for 5 days until it was ready for Agrobacterium transformation.

[0041] 2) Agrobacterium transformation: Six plasmid libraries, pHZLib-Cas12i3-crRNA (Pool01) to pHZLib-Cas12i3-crRNA (Pool06), were transformed into Agrobacterium strain EHA105 via electroporation, constructing six EHA105 libraries containing all the above crRNA plasmid libraries. The six Agrobacterium libraries were then washed with sterile water and subjected to OD240-245 ... 600 Between steps 1 and 2, Agrobacterium was collected from each bacterial bank by centrifugation and resuspended in MSD liquid medium to adjust its OD value. 600 =0.2, to obtain the bacterial suspension for each bacterial cell.

[0042] 3) Agrobacterium infection of rice callus: Place the callus tissue in the bacterial suspension of each of the above 6 bacterial banks for 30 minutes; then remove the bacterial suspension, transfer the callus tissue to sterile absorbent paper to remove excess bacterial suspension, and then transfer the callus tissue to a new MSD solid medium containing 100 μmol / L acetylsyl syringone, and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 2 to 3 days.

[0043] 4) Screening of resistant rice callus: After dark culture, the callus tissue was transferred to MSD solid medium (100 mg / L termethin; 50 mg / L hygromycin B) and cultured for 2 weeks to 2 months until resistant callus appeared on the surface of the callus tissue; the medium was changed every 2 weeks.

[0044] 5) Differentiation and rooting of resistant callus: Resistant callus tissue was transferred to regeneration medium (4.43 g / L MS powder; 30 g / L sucrose; 25 g / L sorbitol; 0.5 mg / L 1-naphthaleneacetic acid; 3 mg / L 6-benzylaminopurine; 100 mg / L termethin; 50 mg / L hygromycin B; 12 g / L agar powder; pH=5.7), and then transferred every 7 to 10 days until seedlings were formed. The seedlings were then transferred to 1 / 2 MS medium (2.21 g / L MS powder; 15 g / L sucrose; 8 g / L agar powder; pH5.7) to root, obtaining T0 generation rice plants. The obtained T0 generation rice plants were placed in a greenhouse for growth until self-pollination and T0 generation seeds were harvested.

[0045] 6) Identification of herbicide-resistant lines: All collected T0 generation seeds were sown on 1 / 2 MS medium containing 0.1 μmol / L nicosulfuron for nicosulfuron resistance screening. After rooting, T1 generation rice plants were obtained and placed in a greenhouse for growth until self-pollination and seed harvesting. The corresponding T0 generation lines of the obtained T1 generation nicosulfuron-resistant rice lines were identified. Results showed that the nicosulfuron-resistant rice lines originated from Pool04 and Pool05. The Pool04 lines were numbered H4-#34 and H4-#67. H4-#34 was obtained by editing OsHPPD-Pool04-crRNA9; H4-#67 was obtained by editing OsHPPD-Pool04-crRNA24.

[0046] 7) Genomic DNA Extraction: During the growth of T0 and T1 generation rice plants, approximately 0.1 g of leaves from each plant were harvested, flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and then ground using a grinder. 600 μL of 2× cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) DNA extraction buffer (containing 1 / 1000 β-mercaptoethanol) was added, and the mixture was vortexed and lysed at 65°C for 45 min. 500 μL of chloroform was added, and the mixture was vigorously shaken to form an emulsion. The emulsion was centrifuged at 14000 rpm for 10 min at ambient temperature. After centrifugation, the supernatant was transferred to a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube, and an equal volume of isopropanol was added. The mixture was inverted and centrifuged at 14000 rpm for 10 min. The supernatant was discarded, and the white precipitate was washed with 700 μL of 70% ethanol aqueous solution. The tube was centrifuged at 14000 rpm for 5 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the tube was air-dried in a fume hood for 10 min. Dissolve the DNA in 30 μL of ultrapure water to obtain genomic DNA solutions for the T0 and T1 generations of each plant. Store the DNA solutions at -20°C.

[0047] 8) PCR amplification and sequencing detection of mutation sites: Primer pairs OsHPPD-F4 (as shown in SEQ ID No. 10) and OsHPPD-R4 (as shown in SEQ ID No. 11) were designed for identifying mutation sites in H4-#34 and H4-#67. Using genomic DNA solutions from H4-#34 and H4-#67 T0 and T1 generation plants as templates, and OsHPPD-F4 and OsHPPD-R4 as primer pairs, PCR amplification was performed using 2 × Rapid Taq Master Mix (purchased from Nanjing Novizan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). The PCR products were then directly sequenced by Sanger sequencing.

[0048] Sanger sequencing results from generation T0 of H4-#34, compared with wild-type results, showed a deletion mutation. Specifically, it exhibited a -54 bp / -10 bp biallelic deletion mutation. OsHPPD The A in the gene start codon ATG is at position 0, with a 54 bp deletion at positions 2046 to 1993 upstream of A, and a 10 bp deletion at positions 2041 to 2032 upstream of A. (See results below.) Figure 4 Sanger sequencing results for H4-#34 T1 identified homozygous mutations: H4-#34-54, with a -54 bp / -54 bp deletion mutation at positions 2046-1993 upstream of the start codon, and H4-#34-10, with a -10 bp / -10 bp deletion mutation at positions 2041-2032 upstream of the start codon. See [see details]. Figure 4 .

[0049] Sanger sequencing results from generation T0 of H4-#67, compared with wild-type results, showed that H4-#67 also contains deletion mutations. Specifically, it exhibits a -80 bp / -28 bp biallelic deletion mutation, i.e., a deletion mutation of 80 bp / 28 bp. OsHPPD The A in the gene start codon ATG is at position 0, with an 80 bp deletion at positions 2299-2220 upstream of it, and a 28 bp deletion at positions 2302-2275 upstream of it. (See results below.) Figure 5 .

[0050] Sanger sequencing results for H4-#67 identified homozygous mutations: H4-#67-80, with a -80 bp / -80 bp deletion mutation occurring at positions 2299-2220 upstream of the start codon, and H4-#67-28, with a -28 bp / -28 bp deletion mutation occurring at positions 2302-2275 upstream of the start codon. See [see details]. Figure 5 .

[0051] 9) Verification of herbicide resistance in mutant lines: The commercial herbicide nicosulfuron suspension (purchased from Hangzhou Yingtai Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was diluted with tap water to obtain a nicosulfuron diluted solution. The concentration of this diluted solution was 8 times the recommended field application dose. T1 generation seeds of H4-#34-54, H4-#34-10, H4-#67-80, and H4-#67-28 were sown in nutrient pots to obtain corresponding T2 generation plants. Wild-type rice was sown simultaneously as a negative control. When the rice plants grew to 2-3 leaves in the greenhouse, the nicosulfuron diluted solution was sprayed using a mobile sprayer. The plants were then continued to be cultivated in the greenhouse. The growth of the T2 generation plants was observed after 14 days. Figure 6The results showed that wild-type negative control rice seedlings exhibited bleaching and gradual death under the action of nicosulfuron, while the T2 generation plants of H4-#34-54, H4-#34-10, H4-#67-80, and H4-#67-28 all showed normal growth and green plant characteristics, indicating nicosulfuron resistance. Therefore, this demonstrates that editing (disruption) of these two regulatory region sequences induced herbicide resistance in rice.
