Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a method for transient transformation of Andrographis paniculata mediated by Agrobacterium. BACKGROUND

[0002] Plant genetic transformation technology is an important technical means for studying plant biology and promoting plant excellent trait improvement and precision breeding. According to the principle of action, it can be divided into direct genetic transformation technology and indirect genetic transformation technology. The direct genetic transformation technology refers to the transformation technology for directly delivering the target gene into the plant body by using electroporation, gene gun and nano material wrapping, etc. The direct genetic transformation technology often has the shortcomings of high cost, unstable transgenic effect, etc. The indirect genetic transformation technology uses organisms (Agrobacterium, virus, etc.) as carriers for gene delivery. In the current research on the establishment of genetic transformation system for different plant species, the Agrobacterium transformation method is the most commonly used and effective one, which has the advantages of high transformation efficiency and low consumption cost.

[0003] According to whether the transgenic effect can be inherited to the next generation, the genetic transformation technology can be divided into stable transformation technology and transient transformation technology. The stable transformation technology often requires that the plant itself has high in vitro tissue regeneration ability, or needs to use plant tissue culture technology, and has a longer culture time and more complicated maintenance operation, and is subject to the dependence of the genotype of the species on the explant. Therefore, in the plant species for which the stable transformation system has not been established, the application of the transient transformation system also has great research value. Compared with the stable transformation system, the transient transformation system does not need to integrate the exogenous gene into the plant genome, and often has simpler operation, shorter culture time, higher transformation efficiency, and easier observation and verification of the function of the target gene.

[0004] The transient transgenic technology can introduce the exogenous gene into the target cell and perform high-level expression or silencing of the exogenous gene in a short time, and can be used to complete the plant functional genomics research without the regeneration process of the transformed cells, greatly shortening the research period. It is a powerful way to study and explore the function of plant genes without mature regeneration system, and can be effectively applied in the fields of promoter and transcription factor analysis, protein subcellular localization and interaction, etc.

[0005] Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is a method that takes advantage of the fact that Agrobacterium will insert a piece of DNA from its circular Ti plasmid into the genome of the infected plant. By purposefully modifying the Ti plasmid and infecting the corresponding plant material, the effect of transgenic regulation of plant traits or component content can be achieved. However, when using this technique for transient transformation, the plant material often needs to be sterile and cut. The Agrobacterium infection stage requires a clean environment, and the subsequent material culture also needs to be carried out on a sterile medium, with strict requirements for the experimental environment and operation. Some transformation techniques also choose to use a medium containing plant growth hormones for additional dark culture of the material before Agrobacterium infection, in order to promote the differentiation of the explant to a more easily transformed state, further increasing the complexity of the transformation technique.

[0006] Due to the differences between different plant species, each plant adapted to a higher transformation efficiency system technology based on the same Agrobacterium infection characteristics will have great differences, and genotype-dependent problems will also occur between the same plant, which requires screening of Agrobacterium strains, bacterial liquid concentration, the addition of active substances to promote Agrobacterium invasion, and the state of the target plant material during the transgenic process, or assisted by ultrasonic minimally invasive, vacuum, and other operations to promote the infiltration of Agrobacterium bacterial solution, in order to achieve significant effects on specific plant transgenesis and improve transgenic efficiency, which is more conducive to the completion of the regulation of the traits and component synthesis of the target plant. At present, transient transgenic technology has been successfully applied in a variety of medicinal plants, such as lilies (He S, Li H Y, Ma Y, et al. Isolation and culture of lily protoplasts and transient transformation [J]. Journal of Zhejiang University (Agriculture and Life Sciences), 2025, 51(01): 67.), hemp seeds (Sorokin A, Yadav N S, Gaudet D, et al. Transient expression of the β-glucuronidase gene in Cannabis sativa varieties [J]. Plant Signal Behav, 2020, 15(8): 1780037.), etc. The application of genetic transformation technology in medicinal plants can play a good role in promoting the research fields of medicinal plant quality improvement, functional gene analysis, and molecular breeding, which can not only be used to regulate the synthesis of secondary metabolites of medicinal plants, improve the content of active ingredients, and enhance stress resistance, but also effectively help to shorten the breeding period and improve the yield of medicinal materials.For example, in *Salvia miltiorrhiza* (Hao X, Pu Z, Cao G, et al. Tanshinone and salvianolic acid biosynthesis are regulated by SmMYB98 in *Salvia miltiorrhiza* hairy roots [J]. Journal of advanced research, 2020, 23:1-12.) and *Artemisia annua* (Fu X, He Y, Li L, et al. Overexpression of blue light receptor AaCRY1 improves artemisinin content in *Artemisia annua* L. [J]. Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, 2021, 68(2): 338-344.), the expression levels of genes synthesizing active ingredients can be significantly increased by using an Agrobacterium-mediated transgenic system to regulate the expression of these genes, thereby improving the quality of the medicinal materials.

[0007] Andrographis paniculata Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees is an annual or perennial herb belonging to the genus Andrographis in the family Acanthaceae. Its dried aerial parts are an important and commonly used medicinal material in Lingnan (southern China), with andrographolide (AD) as the main medicinal component. AD possesses various pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and antitumor effects. It is not only a major raw material for traditional Chinese medicines such as Qinghuo Zhimai tablets, Xiaoyan Lidan tablets, and Andrographolide tablets, but AD derivatives, which significantly reduce inflammatory responses and alleviate respiratory symptoms, have also been listed as candidate drugs for anti-epidemic treatment. Due to its strict self-pollination characteristics, long-term self-pollination easily leads to a gradual decline in the viability of Andrographis paniculata offspring. Furthermore, there are currently no good Andrographis paniculata breeding bases in China, and significant varietal differences and mixing exist in the germplasm and growth traits of Andrographis paniculata in different regions, resulting in unstable yields and medicinal components. This affects the actual medicinal effects of Andrographis paniculata and is extremely unfavorable for large-scale industrial pharmaceutical production.

[0008] Since the complete genome of A. paniculata was assembled and annotated in 2018 (Sun W, Leng L, Yin Q G, Xu M M, Huang M K, Xu Z C, Zhang Y J, Yao H, Wang C X, Xiong C, Chen S, Jiang C H, Xie N, Zheng X L, Wang Y, Song C, Peter R J, Chen S L. The genome of the medicinal plant Andrographis paniculata genome provides insight into biosynthesis of the bioactive diterpenoid neoandrographolide[J]. Plant Journal, 2019, 97(5): 841-857.), the researches on the molecular level of A. paniculata are increasing. The researches on the resource and genetic diversity of A. paniculata, multi-omics researches and germplasm innovation have good prospects.At present, there are a large number of literatures on cloning and functional research, expression localization of enzyme genes related to AD synthesis pathway [(Srinath M, Shailaja A, Bindu BBV, Giri CC. Molecular Cloning and Differential Gene Expression Analysis of 1-Deoxy-D-xylulose 5-Phosphate Synthase (DXS) in Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f) Nees. Mol Biotechnol. 2021, 63(2): 109-124.), (Qi Mengdie, Wang Jian, Ma Xiaojing, et al. Cloning and functional identification of a new NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase in Andrographis paniculata [J]. Chinese Journal of Chinese Medicine, 2018, 43(2): 7.), (Shailaja A, Srinath M, Bindu BVB, Giri CC. Isolation of 4-hydroxy 3-methyl 2-butenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (ApHDR) gene of methyl erythritol diphosphate (MEP) pathway, in silico analysis and differential tissue specific ApHDR expression in Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f) Nees. Physiol Mol Biol Plants. 2021, 27(2): 223-235.), (Zhang Long, Xu Shiqiang, Li Jingyu, et al. Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of TCP gene family in Andrographis paniculata under abiotic stress [J]. Chinese Journal of Chinese Medicine, 2024, 49(02): 379-388.)], but most of them only reach the judgment of tissue expression difference and prokaryotic expression observation, and because the effective Andrographis paniculata transgenic system has not been built, the further exploration of gene function in Andrographis paniculata plants is limited.

[0009] Therefore, under the condition that the genetic transformation system of medicinal plant Andrographis paniculata is not perfect and the gene function research is limited, developing a transient transgenic technology suitable for Andrographis paniculata has very important application value. SUMMARY

[0010] The purpose of the present application is to solve the existing problems, and provide an Agrobacterium-mediated Andrographis paniculata transient transformation method.

[0011] The application is realized by the following technical scheme: The application discloses a method for transient transformation of Andrographis paniculata by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. S1, culture of A. paniculata sterile seedlings The A. paniculata seeds are inoculated on the surface of the culture medium by using sterile tweezers, and the inoculated culture bottle is placed on a tissue culture rack for culture. S2, Agrobacterium infection S201, 15-day-old A. paniculata seedlings with just germinated first pair of true leaves, good and consistent growth are selected, and after being completely peeled off from the tissue culture bottle, the root system residual culture medium is washed and placed in a beaker; S202, Agrobacterium infection liquid is added to the beaker to completely immerse the material, and the beaker is placed in a vacuum dryer; a syringe is used for multiple times of air suction and pressure reduction treatment, a digital differential pressure gauge is connected in the middle to display that the internal and external air pressure difference is 25-35 kPa, and the low-pressure environment is maintained for 5 min. S203, after the infection is completed, the air pressure valve is carefully opened, air slowly enters the vacuum dryer through the conduit to restore the air pressure, the cover of the dryer is opened, the plant material is taken out, the residual bacterial liquid is absorbed by using a water absorption paper, the plant material is transplanted in the moist nutrient soil, and then placed in a constant temperature and humidity incubator for culture.

[0012] Further, the A. paniculata seeds in step S1 need to be pretreated before inoculation, specifically, the selected seeds are loaded into a 1.5 mL centrifugal tube with a cover, 1 mL of double-distilled water is added for soaking for 16 h, after the liquid is sucked in a super-clean bench, 1 mL of 5% H2O2 is added for soaking for 20 min, the seeds are washed 2-3 times by using double-distilled water, and then 1 mL of double-distilled water is added for standby use.

[0013] Further, the culture condition in step S1 is that the culture is carried out under room temperature for 16 h, 8 h of light and dark conditions.

[0014] Further, the preparation method of the culture medium in step S1 is as follows: the sterile seedling culture medium uses MS basic culture medium, the sucrose concentration is 3%, the plant gel concentration is 0.6%, the pH value is adjusted to 5.8-6.0, after high-pressure sterilization at 115 DEG C for 30 min, Gibberellin A3 (GA3) is added to the concentration of 0.5 mg / L in the super-clean bench and is divided into tissue culture bottles, and after cooling and solidification, the culture medium is standby used.

[0015] Further, the preparation of the Agrobacterium infection liquid in step S201 comprises the following steps: (1) Take a clean, sterile shaking tube, add 5 mL of LB liquid medium and 150 μL of pRI 101-eGFP-GV3101 Agrobacterium tumefaciens in a laminar flow hood, add the antibiotics kanamycin and rifampin to a concentration of 50 mg / L, and shake at 200 r / min for 1 day at 28℃. Take 2 mL of the bacterial culture and add it to a clean conical flask containing 200 mL of LB liquid medium, and shake at 200 rpm for 18 h at 28℃. (2) Centrifuge the bacterial culture at 3000 g for 15 min at room temperature, discard the supernatant, add 1 / 2 MS solution (i.e., resuspension solution) to fully resuspend the bacterial block, so that Agrobacterium is suspended in the liquid, and adjust the OD. 600 A value of 1.0 indicates the presence of Agrobacterium infection solution. (3) Add acetosyringone (AS) to the inoculum to a concentration of 200 μmol / L, and use after standing at room temperature for 3 h.

[0016] Furthermore, during the incubation in the constant temperature and humidity incubator described in step S203, the temperature is controlled at 24°C and the humidity at 70%.

[0017] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art: 1. This invention provides an Agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation technology for Andrographis paniculata, enabling efficient expression of exogenous genes in Andrographis paniculata plants, thus filling a gap in this field. Conventional Agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation technology requires cutting explants, aseptic co-culturing, infection, and further culture and observation. This process is complex and requires strict sterilization. Furthermore, the peak gene expression usually lasts only about 5 days, after which the expression effect rapidly disappears, failing to meet the requirements for longer-term gene function observation. This technology effectively solves these problems. Not only does it eliminate the need for strict aseptic conditions and tissue culture operations during the infection stage, but subsequent maintenance and observation are also extremely simple. Simply planting the intact infected seedlings in moist nutrient soil can maintain the transgenic effect for up to 30 days.

[0018] 2. This invention is simple to operate and convenient to use, using whole seedlings as conversion materials without the need for material cutting or other work; 3. This invention does not have strict cleanliness requirements during the infection and growth stages, nor does it require aseptic culture. It only requires planting infected seedlings in moist nutrient soil for cultivation and observation. Compared with most transient transgenic technologies, it eliminates the cumbersome tissue culture operation. 4. The transient transgenic technology has a typical transgenic effect that lasts from 3 to 5 days. However, the transient transformation technology of this invention for Andrographis paniculata seedlings has a longer effect that can last for about 1 month. Fluorescence and DNA identification positivity can be observed in the cotyledons and the first pair of new true leaves. This provides a feasible technology for gene function observation that requires a longer follow-up period. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The bacterial liquid is centrifuged at a speed of 3000 g for 15 min at room temperature, the supernatant is discarded, 1 / 2 MS liquid (i.e. resuspension liquid) is added to resuspend the bacterial block, so that the Agrobacterium is suspended in the liquid, the OD value is adjusted to 1.0, and the Agrobacterium infection solution is obtained. 600

[0028] Acetosyringone (AS) is added to the infection solution to a concentration of 200 μmol / L, and the infection solution is used after being placed at room temperature for 3 h.
