Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural bio-genetic engineering technology, specifically involving BnaA09.MAPK7 Application in promoting rapeseed stem growth. Background Technology
[0002] Brassica napus ( Brassica napus As the world's third largest oilseed crop, rapeseed accounts for over 13% of global oil production, holding a vital position in agricultural production. With increasing planting density, widespread mechanized harvesting, and frequent extreme weather events, lodging has become a core bottleneck restricting the yield and quality improvement of rapeseed. Lodging damages the vascular tissue of the rapeseed plant, hindering the absorption and transport of water and nutrients. Secondary branching fails to form siliques normally, and the plant becomes more susceptible to pests and diseases, severely impacting plant growth, development, and ultimately, yield and quality.
[0003] In traditional variety breeding, reducing plant height or increasing stem diameter can improve lodging resistance to some extent, but this method is often accompanied by a decrease in biomass and source-sink imbalance. As a tetraploid crop, rapeseed has only been domesticated for a few hundred years, and has limitations such as a narrow genetic background and a single genetic basis, making it difficult for traditional breeding methods to achieve precise improvement of lodging resistance traits.
[0004] The mechanical strength of plant stems is primarily determined by the degree of development of secondary xylem and the level of cell wall lignification. Lignin, as a core component of the secondary cell wall, is synthesized via the phenylpropane pathway and forms a rigid network through the oxidative polymerization of monomers such as coniferyl alcohol and sinapyl alcohol, providing the stem with resistance to compression and bending. Studies have confirmed that inhibited lignin metabolism leads to thinner and softer stems and a significantly increased risk of lodging, while increasing lignin content helps to thicken the secondary cell wall and enhance stem rigidity. However, lignin metabolism is regulated by multiple signaling networks, including mechanical stimulation, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and plant hormones. The key regulatory nodes in lignin metabolism in Brassica napus have not yet been systematically elucidated, severely hindering the molecular design breeding process for highly lodging-resistant and stable-yielding rapeseed varieties.
[0005] The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade is a core pathway for transmitting environmental-developmental signals in plants, consisting of three levels of components: MAPKKK-MAPKK-MAPK. Downstream MAPKs can be divided into AD groups based on their amino acid sequence, kinase domains, and TXY motifs, with relatively limited research on C-group MAPKs. Existing studies have shown that Arabidopsis MAPK1 / 2 / 7 can regulate plant growth in an ABA-dependent manner through protein kinase activity, and that MAPKKK62-MAPKK3-MAPK7 / 14 mediates ABA signaling in rice, participating in seed dormancy. However, the biological function of C-group MAPK7 in dicotyledonous oilseed crops has not been systematically reported. Summary of the Invention

[0074] The sequencing-verified overexpression and RNAi repressor expression vectors were transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101, and then transformed into wild-type recipient material Westar (WT) using hypocotyl tissue culture technology. After screening for herbicide Basta resistance, DNA PCR, and RT-PCR detection, seeds of T0 generation plants that were positive and showed significant differences in expression levels were collected for propagation.
[0075] Following the aforementioned screening and testing, the positive / negative ratios of T1, T2, and T3 generation plants were statistically analyzed, and homozygous positive plants conforming to Mendel's laws of inheritance were selected for further experiments. Phenotypic traits of the stably expressing T3 generation lines (OE-23, OE-52, Ri-71, Ri-75) were investigated. Ten healthy plants from each of the wild-type WT, OE overexpression, and RNAi suppressed expression lines, exhibiting consistent growth and flowering, were selected. The diameter of the thickest part of the stem was measured using calipers; the fresh weight of the stems was weighed using an electronic balance, and the dry weight was measured after drying at 80℃ to constant weight. The YYD-1 stem strength tester was used to measure the stem's breaking strength and compressive strength: A 15cm section of fresh stem from the lower part was placed on a clamp support frame with a 10cm spacing. The U-shaped bending probe was slowly pressed down from 8cm above the support frame to the center of the stem internode, and the peak breaking strength of the stem was measured. The clamp support frame spacing was adjusted to 5cm, and a cylindrical 1cm... 2 The compressive strength probe was slowly and evenly pressed down until it crushed the stem epidermis. The peak compressive strength of the upper 15cm section of the fresh stem was read. Three different center points of each stem were measured, and the average value was recorded as the compressive strength of that plant. Results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0076] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that, compared with the stem diameter of the control WT plant (1.34±0.17cm), the stem diameter of OE-23 and OE-52 increased to 1.94±0.32cm and 1.77±0.14cm, respectively. P <0.01), Ri-71 and Ri-75 decreased to 0.89±0.12 and 0.86±0.13 cm, respectively. P <0.01). The fresh weight of the stems of OE-23 and OE-52 was significantly increased by 63.4% and 54.1% respectively compared with WT (42.1±7.3 g), while that of the RNAi lines Ri-71 and Ri-75 was significantly decreased by 62.2% and 55.1% respectively. After drying, the dry weight of the stems of OE-23 and OE-52 was 2.1 and 1.7 times that of WT (4.2±1.0 g), respectively, while that of both RNAi lines decreased to 0.5 times that of WT. In terms of mechanical properties, the breaking strength and compressive strength of the stems of OE-23 and OE-52 were 93.6-146.7 N and 204.5-303.2 N·cm, respectively. -2 It is significantly higher than WT (54.5-88.3 N, 140.8-187.2 N·cm). -2 The N-weight of Ri-71 and Ri-75 plants was significantly reduced to 35.2-54.1 N and 72.4-138.3 N·cm, respectively. -2 The above results show that BnaA09.MAPK7 Positive gene regulation of radial stem growth in Brassica napus can significantly enhance the plant's resistance to lodging.

[0078] BnaA09.MAPK7 Evaluation and analysis of stem metabolites from overexpressing and suppressing expression plants.
[0079] To further explore BnaA09.MAPK7 The metabolic mechanisms regulating stem radial growth were investigated. UPLC-MS / MS was used to identify primary and secondary metabolites in the stems of WT, OE, and RNAi lines using non-targeted metabolomics. Three biological replicates were set up for each sample, and five plants were used to prepare a pooled sample from each replicate. Metabolite detection and analysis were performed as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the overall detection status of metabolites is analyzed as follows: Figure 5 As shown.
[0080] Depend on Figure 4 It was found that a total of 2,370 metabolites were obtained (1,797 in positive ion mode and 933 in negative ion mode), mainly including 749 amino acids and their derivatives (27.44%), 387 organic acids (14.18%), 265 benzene and its derivatives (9.71%), 127 alkaloids (4.65%), and 111 lipids (4.07%).
[0081] Depend on Figure 5 It was found that preparing quality control (QC) samples by mixing extracts from nine samples showed good repeatability of metabolite extraction and detection according to total ion chromatogram overlap analysis. The Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.9998-0.9999, indicating strong detection stability and high data quality. Principal component analysis (PCA) results of the overall detection showed that QC, overexpression (OE), suppressed expression (RNAi), and wild-type (WT) all showed a trend of significant clustering within groups and significant separation between groups. The first principal component (PC1) and the second principal component (PC2) explained more than 60% of the features of the original dataset, indicating that the metabolite distribution was highly similar among biological replicates within groups and that there were significant differences in metabolite composition among groups.
[0082] Example 4
[0083] BnaA09.MAPK7 Screening and identification of differential metabolites in the stems of overexpressing and inhibiting plants.
[0084] Using variable importance projection (VIP) > 1, Fold Change ≥ 2, or Fold Change ≤ 0.5 as thresholds, differentially expressed metabolites (DAMs) were compared and screened between the OE and WT groups (OE_vs_WT), RNAi and WT groups (RNAi_vs_WT), and OE and RNAi groups (OE_vs_RNAi). To investigate the relative content trends of metabolites in different groups, the relative contents of all DAMs in the three comparison groups were processed using Unit Variance Scaling (UV), and clustered using the K-Means clustering algorithm. The results are shown below. Figure 6 As shown.
[0085] Depend on Figure 6 The results showed that the OE_vs_WT group yielded 478 DAMs, of which 230 were upregulated and 248 were downregulated; the RNAi_vs_WT group yielded 928 DAMs, of which 366 were upregulated and 562 were downregulated; and the OE_vs_RNAi group yielded 841 DAMs, of which 492 were upregulated and 349 were downregulated. K-Means clustering divided the 1264 DAMs into 10 clusters. Compared with WT, cluster 4 contained 129 DAMs that were significantly upregulated in the OE stem and significantly downregulated in the RNAi stem; conversely, cluster 10 contained 106 DAMs that were significantly downregulated in OE and significantly upregulated in RNAi. The DAMs with the largest proportion in both clusters were amino acids and their derivatives, at 31.8% and 32.1%, respectively. In the fourth cluster, the proportions of organic acids, flavonoids, alcohols / amines, lignans and coumarins, and phenolic acid-related metabolites were 14.7%, 3.9%, 3.1%, 2.3%, and 1.6%, respectively.
[0086] Cluster 4 was enriched with several DAMs involved in lignin metabolism pathways, such as dimethylfraxetin, coumarin, 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol, and 4-hydroxy-5-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)pentanoic acid, which act as precursors for lignin synthesis. These DAMs were upregulated in OE stems and downregulated in RNAi stems. Furthermore, some amino acids, His-Thr-Lys, Leu-Gln-Gln, and Glu-Tyr-Asp-Lys, were also identified as exhibiting similar metabolic trends. This indicates that BnaA09.MAPK7 is involved in regulating cell wall lignification and cell wall structural protein synthesis in Brassica napus stem tissues, contributing to secondary cell wall thickening and stem thickening.
[0087] To further explore BnaA09.MAPK7 The regulatory pathways were analyzed in 478 DAMs from the OE_vs_WT group and 928 DAMs from the RNAi_vs_WT group, and the results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown. By Figure 7 It was found that both groups identified 77 amino acids and their derivatives, 38 organic acids, 26 benzenes and their derivatives, 21 lipids, 13 flavonoids, 12 alkaloids, 12 glycerophospholipids, 11 terpenes, 10 nucleotides and their derivatives, 10 alcohols / amines, 9 heterocyclic compounds, 8 phenolic acids, 4 lignans and coumarins, 3 fatty acyls, 1 quinone, 1 glycerol, and 36 other classes, totaling 292 DAMs in 17 categories. Using a threshold of Log2Fold Change(OE_vs_WT) / Log2Fold Change(RNAi_vs_WT) < 0 between the two comparison groups, a total of 59 DAMs were screened, including amino acids and their derivatives (32.2%), lipids (18.6%), benzene and its derivatives (11.9%), nucleotides and their derivatives (5.1%), alkaloids (5.1%), glycerophospholipids (3.4%), alcohols / amines (3.4%), organic acids (3.4%), lignans and coumarins (3.4%), fatty acyls (1.7%), heterocyclic compounds (1.7%), flavonoids (1.7%), and terpenes (1.7%). The amino acid and its derivative tetrapeptides Arg-Tyr-Leu-Lys and tripeptide Phe-Pro-Lys can mimic systemin-induced JA and lignin pathways; the coumarin Rutarin promotes lignification by activating phenylalanine lyase PAL / peroxidase POD through antioxidant activity; and the lactone compound 1-peroxyferuric acid can mediate the reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling pathway to promote lignin cross-linking. These metabolites were significantly upregulated in the stems of OE plants and significantly downregulated in RNAi (compared to WT). KEGG enrichment analysis showed that DAMs in the OE_vs_WT group were significantly enriched in metabolic pathways such as unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, biotin metabolism, and indole alkaloid biosynthesis; while in the RNAi_vs_WT group, DAMs were significantly enriched in pathways such as arachidonic acid metabolism, as well as indole alkaloid biosynthesis and biotin metabolism. These results indicate that... BnaA09.MAPK7It may positively regulate lignification and stem strength in rapeseed through processes such as carbon skeleton supply and lipid signaling cascade, which has a positive effect on the plant's lodging resistance.
[0088] This invention constructs BnaA09.MAPK7 Overexpression (OE) and suppression (RNAi) vectors were used to obtain stable OE and RNAi transgenic rapeseed lines. Phenotypic results showed that OE plants had a significantly increased average stem diameter of 42.4%, increased fresh weight and dry weight of 58.8% and 86.5%, respectively, and increased breaking strength and compressive strength of 57.9% and 63.8%, respectively. Conversely, RNAi plants had thinner stems, decreased biomass, and significantly reduced mechanical strength. Non-targeted metabolomics analysis revealed that lignin monomer synthesis intermediates such as phenylalanine and its derivatives, rutarin, and peroxycinnamic acid derivatives such as 1-peroxyferolic acid were significantly upregulated in OE lines, while RNAi lines showed the opposite trend, indicating that... BnaA09.MAPK7 This invention participates in the lignin pathway, promoting lignin cross-linking and thus thickening the secondary stem wall, positively regulating the radial growth of rapeseed stems. This invention provides new gene resources and molecular design strategies for the creation of lodging-resistant rapeseed varieties and for breeding high-yield and stable-yield varieties.
