AtCBL1 The gene is an upstream regulatory gene that overexpresses a potassium channel protein gene (e.g., AKT1). This expressed protein is located in the plant cell membrane. It can guide the fluorescent labeling gene to enter the plant cell along with the recombinant expression vector, and express and locate it in the plant cell membrane, thereby achieving fluorescent labeling of the plant cell membrane.

[0047] Example 2: Construction of a cell membrane-localized green fluorescent overexpression vector 1. Enzyme digestion of the target vector In this embodiment, the target vector uses the plant expression plasmid pCAMBIA1300-35S-EGFP. In this plasmid, the EGFP gene uses the 35S promoter, which is a strong constitutive promoter in plant genetic engineering, driving the gene to be continuously expressed in all tissues.
[0048] The enzyme digestion system is as follows: pCAMBIA1300-35S-EGFP 8.7 μL 10× Flycut Buffer 5 μL BamHⅠ1 μL XbaⅠ1 μL ddH2O 34.3 μL After the enzyme digestion reaction was completed, the digestion products were recovered by agarose gel electrophoresis.

[0056] 5. Sequencing and amplification Two single colonies were picked up with a pipette tip and streaked onto LB solid medium containing antibiotics. The remaining bacteria from the pipette tip were then inoculated into 700 μL of LB medium containing the corresponding antibiotic and incubated at 37°C. Single colonies were sequenced using upstream primers. After sequencing, the sequences were compared, and the streaks corresponding to single colonies with completely identical alignment results were selected and inoculated into 6 ml of LB medium and incubated overnight at 37°C. Plasmids were extracted the next day.
[0057] 6. Extract plasmids (1) Take the overnight cultured bacterial solution, centrifuge at 10,000×g for 1 minute, and remove the supernatant (try to remove as much as possible). Collect the culture by centrifugation in 3 separate times. (2) Add 250 μL of colorless solution RB (containing RNase A), shake to suspend the bacterial precipitate, and leave no small bacterial clumps. (3) Add 250 μL of blue solution LB and gently mix by turning it upside down 4-6 times to fully lyse the cells and form a clear blue solution. The color changes from semi-clear to clear blue, indicating complete lysis (not more than 5 minutes). (4) Add 340 μL of yellow solution NB and gently mix 5-6 times (the color changes completely from blue to yellow, indicating that the mixture is uniform and neutralized completely) until a firm yellow agglomerate is formed. Let it stand at room temperature for 2 minutes. (5) Centrifuge at 12,000×g for 5 minutes, carefully aspirate the supernatant and add it to the centrifuge column. Centrifuge at 12,000×g for 1 minute and discard the eluent. (6) Add 650 μL of solution WB, centrifuge at 12,000×g for 1 minute, and discard the effluent. (7) Centrifuge at 12,000×g for 1-2 minutes to completely remove residual WB. (8) Place the centrifuge column in a clean centrifuge tube, add 40 μL of EB or deionized water (pH>7.0) to the center of the column, and let it stand at room temperature for 1 minute. (Preheating the EB or deionized water in a water bath at 60-70℃ will improve the effect). (9) Centrifuge at 10,000×g for 1 minute to elute the DNA. Store the eluted DNA at -20℃.

These roots were then observed under a laser confocal microscope.
[0074] 3.2 Experimental Results like Figure 3 As shown, it can be clearly seen under a laser confocal microscope. AtCBL1 genetically modified Soybean plant cell plasma membranes were labeled with green fluorescence, and the plasma membrane of each cell could be clearly observed. Correspondingly, pCAMBIA1300-35S-EGFP was localized in the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus (e.g., ...). Figure 4 (As shown).
[0075] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the control group shown, it was observed under a laser confocal microscope that... AtROP2 Genetically modified soybean cell membrane and AtGEF10 The boundaries of the cell membranes in genetically modified soybeans are indistinct, and fluorescence is even localized within the cytoplasm. Clearly, AtROP2 and AtGEF10 Not suitable as a marker for plasma membrane localization. The above results indicate that not all proteins that are localized to the cell membrane are suitable as markers for plasma membrane localization.
[0076] Therefore, the green fluorescent overexpression vector for cell membrane localization provided in this application can be used for precise fluorescent labeling of plant cell membranes, and can be widely applied in dynamic observation or investigation of cell membrane localization related to signaling pathways or molecular mechanisms. For example, when observing the subcellular localization of unknown proteins using soybean hairy roots or tobacco leaves, the green fluorescent overexpression vector for cell membrane localization can serve as a marker for cell membrane localization to label the subcellular localization of unknown proteins. The invasion process of rhizobia is accompanied by the lysis and remodeling of the root hair cell membrane. During the rhizobia invasion process, the green fluorescent overexpression vector for cell membrane localization can be used to label the cell membrane, allowing for more direct observation of the dynamic changes in the cell membrane during rhizobia invasion.
