Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of genetic engineering technology, and more particularly to a sugarcane ScPHR 1. Genes, expression cassettes and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] sugar cane( Saccharum Sugarcane (spp.), a pillar of the global sugar industry and an emerging energy crop, belongs to the Poaceae subtribe of the Sorghum tribe. It contributes over 80% of the world's sugar production and 40% of its bioethanol production. With breakthroughs in whole-genome sequencing technology, the research team successfully completed de novo haplotype chromosome-level genome assembly of the hybrid sugarcane variety ZZ1. In sugarcane functional genomics research, MYB transcription factors have attracted significant attention due to their diverse regulatory potential.

[0003] The MYB family is the largest family of transcription factors in plants, initially discovered through the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis in the aleurone layer of maize. This family is characterized by a conserved MYB base-binding domain at its N-terminus, typically composed of one or more incomplete tandem repeat sequences. Due to their wide range of roles in numerous biological processes, MYB transcription factors play an indispensable role in regulating plant development, mediating hormone signaling pathways, and enhancing tolerance to abiotic stresses. MYB-type coil-coil (MYB-CC) transcription factors are a special subgroup within the MYB superfamily, characterized by the simultaneous presence of a conserved MYB domain and a predicted coil-coil (CC) domain. These two domains jointly promote protein dimerization and functional regulation. Existing research has clearly demonstrated that MYB-CC transcription factors play a crucial role in mediating plant responses to phosphorus (Pi) deficiency stress and regulating the expression of phosphorus starvation-induced genes. Arabidopsis thaliana (… Arabidopsis thaliana Phosphorus starvation response protein 1 (AtPHR1) is the first MYB-CC protein identified to participate in plant phosphorus stress response. In Arabidopsis, PHR1 acts as a pivotal regulator of the phosphorus starvation signaling pathway, regulating the expression of key genes, including members of the phosphorus transporter PHT1 family, by binding to the PHR1 binding sequence (P1BS, GNATATNC) cis-acting element in the promoter of phosphorus starvation-induced (PSI) genes. Under phosphorus-deficient conditions, Arabidopsis... phr1The mutant exhibits multi-faceted phosphorus response disorders: on the one hand, the distribution pattern of phosphorus among root caps is changed, accompanied by decreased anthocyanin and carbohydrate accumulation and adjusted lipid composition and reshaped gene expression; on the other hand, the expression induction ability of multiple phosphate starvation-induced genes is also significantly impaired. However, overexpression of PHR1 in Arabidopsis can significantly up-regulate the expression of specific phosphate starvation-induced genes, thereby promoting the increase of phosphorus content in the plant body, accompanied by the increase of anthocyanin accumulation. Extensive studies have confirmed that this regulatory mechanism is widely conserved in evolution, and the functional orthologous genes of Arabidopsis AtPHR1 have been identified in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (CrPSR1), rice (OsPHR2), corn (ZmPHR1) and soybean (GmPHR1) and other photosynthetic organisms; in addition to regulating phosphorus homeostasis, members of this family have also been reported to be involved in plant growth promotion, drought resistance enhancement and metal stress response and other biological processes. So far, the function of MYB-CC type genes in sugarcane has not been clearly analyzed, and its regulatory mechanism and biological significance are still unknown. SUMMARY

[0021] The technical solutions provided by the present application will be described in detail below in combination with examples, but they should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] 1, Sugarcane total RNA extraction and RT-qPCR detection

[0024] Total RNA was extracted from the sugarcane variety “Zhongzhe No. 1” using the Eastep® Super Total RNA Extraction Kit (Promega). Using 1 μg of total RNA as a template, reverse transcription was performed using the HiScript II First-Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Vazyme). Real-time quantitative PCR was performed on a LightCycler 96 system (Roche) using AceQ® qPCR SYBR® Green Master Mix (Vazyme). The PCR amplification program was set as follows: 95℃ pre-denaturation for 30 s; followed by 40 cycles of amplification, each cycle consisting of 95℃ for 10 s, 60℃ for 30 s, and a final hold at 95℃ for 10 s.

[0025] 2. Sugarcane ScPHR 1. Acquisition of genes

[0026] Using the sugarcane genome database (NCBI accession number: GWHEQVP00000000) as a reference, forward primer ScPHR1-F (5'-ATGCAGTCTCAAAAGAGCAGA-3', SEQ ID NO.3) and reverse primer ScPHR1-R (5'-TTAACTATCTTGCAGTTTGCGC-3', SEQ ID NO.4) were designed. Using the obtained cDNA as a template, PCR amplification was performed using the high-fidelity enzyme PhantaMax Super-Fidelity DNA Polymerase (Vazyme). The reaction system was as follows: 25 μL 2×Phanta Master Mix, 1 μL forward primer (10 μM), 1 μL reverse primer (10 μM), 2 μL cDNA, and dd... O was added to a final volume of 50 μL. The PCR reaction program was set as follows: 95℃ pre-denaturation for 30 s; followed by 32 cycles: 95℃ denaturation for 15 s, 60℃ annealing for 15 s, 72℃ extension for 30 s; and a final extension at 72℃ for 10 min after the cycle.

[0027] The PCR product was ligated into a TA cloning vector, transformed into *E. coli* DH5α competent cells, and positive clones were screened and sequenced for verification. Sequencing confirmed the formation of [the desired clone]. ScPHR1The open reading frame (ORF) of the gene, with a nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1, is 1329 bp in length. BlastX alignment analysis (http: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) indicates that this ORF encodes 442 amino acids, and the predicted amino acid sequence of the ScPHR1 protein is shown in SEQ ID NO.2. This protein lacks an N-terminal signal peptide and transmembrane domains. Conserved domains were predicted using the Conserved Domains database (https: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / Structure / cdd / wrpsb.cgi).

[0028] The results show that ScPHR1 has two structural domains, MYB and CC, and belongs to the MYB-CC family. Figure 1 ).

[0030] ScPHR1 Subcellular Localization in Tobacco

[0031] Will ScPHR1 The full-length coding sequence (CDS) was cloned into the pBI121 vector fused with green fluorescent protein (GFP) (pBI121-GFP) to obtain the recombinant expression vector. The recombinant expression vector was then transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101. Positive transformants were picked and cultured in LB medium containing 50 mg / L Kan and 20 mg / L Rif (rifampicin) at 28°C with shaking for 2 days. The bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 5 min, and the bacterial concentration was adjusted to OD600 of 0.7 using Agrobacterium resuspension (10 mmol / L MgCl2, 10 mmol / L 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid, 150 μmol / L acetylsyleugenone). Select tobacco leaves that are 5-6 leaf-aged, uniformly grown, and in good condition. Using a sterile syringe, inject a resuspended solution containing ScPHR1 into the underside of the tobacco leaves. Return the tobacco to the plant culture incubator for further cultivation. After 24 hours of darkness followed by 24 hours of light exposure, observe and capture the fluorescence signals of GFP and red fluorescent protein (RFP) using an Olympus FV3000 laser confocal microscope. Results are as follows: Figure 2 The data shows that ScPHR1 is primarily located in the cell nucleus. This indicates that the gene mainly functions within the cell nucleus.

[0034] 1. Construction of overexpression vectors

[0035] A ScPHR1 hyperrecombinant expression vector driven by the 35S promoter was constructed. It contains... ScPHR1 TA cloning plasmid of gene ( Figure 3 Using a template, specific primers were designed: the forward primer ScPHR1-2300-F (5'-CAGGTCGACTCTAGAGGATCCATGCAGTCTCAAAAGAGCAGA-3', SEQ ID NO.5); and the reverse primer ScPHR1-2300-R (5'-TGGGTACATACGCGTGGTACCTTAACTATCTTGCAGTTTGCGC-3', SEQ ID NO.6). The PCR amplification reaction system and procedure were the same as in Example 2. Subsequently, following the seamless cloning method of Example 2, the purified amplification product was ligated into the pCambia2300 vector, which had been linearized by double digestion with SacⅠ and XbaⅠ. The ligation product was transformed into E. coli DH5α competent cells, and positive clones were screened by colony PCR and verified by sequencing. Finally, the over-recombinant expression vector was obtained and named ScPHR1-OE.

[0036] 2. Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation in Arabidopsis thaliana

[0037] The ScPHR1-OE recombinant expression vector was transformed into Agrobacterium EHA105 strain to obtain recombinant bacteria, which were then used for Arabidopsis genetic transformation experiments. The specific steps of the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method are as follows: (1) Preparation of receptor materials Wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0, Columbia type) with good growth status was selected as the transformation recipient.

[0038] (2) Prepare Agrobacterium-containing liquid

[0039] A single colony of Agrobacterium containing the target gene (recombinant single colony) was inoculated into a liquid culture medium, activated, and cultured to the logarithmic growth phase. After harvesting the bacterial suspension, the bacterial cells were resuspended in a permeate (1 / 2 MS powder + 10% sucrose + 400 μl / L Silwet-77) to achieve an OD600 value of 0.9, thus obtaining an Agrobacterium suspension.

[0040] (3) Infection

[0041] Immerse the inflorescence of Arabidopsis thaliana in Agrobacterium suspension, gently shake to ensure full contact between the inflorescence and the bacterial solution, and soak for 1 minute.

[0042] (4) Cultivation

[0043] Cover the plant with plastic wrap after the flower dipping treatment to maintain humidity, and incubate in the dark for 1 day. Then place it under normal incubation conditions. After 3 days, the plastic wrap can be removed, and the plant can continue to be incubated until it matures.

[0044] (5) Screening

[0045] The seeds of T0 generation Arabidopsis were collected, and the seeds were sown on 1 / 2MS medium containing kanamycin (40 mg / L) for growth screening to obtain positive plants. The positive Arabidopsis seedlings were transplanted into soil for continuous growth. After maturation, T1 generation seeds were collected for continuous screening, and the steps were repeated to obtain positive homozygous Arabidopsis seeds of T2-T3 generation.

[0046] A total of 3 positive homozygous Arabidopsis lines with significantly up-regulated expression were screened out (ScPHR1-OE-1, ScPHR1-OE-4, and ScPHR1-OE-8), which were used for further experimental verification. S

[0047] Example 4

[0048] Detection of transgenic Arabidopsis

[0049] Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis was performed using qScPHR1-F / R specific primers (SEQ ID NO. 11-12), and the specific operation was performed according to the AceQ qPCR SYBR Green Master Mix (Vazyme) kit instructions. Sugarcane ScGAPDH gene and Arabidopsis AtActin2 gene were used as internal references, and the relative expression of the target gene was calculated by 2 -ΔΔCT - method. The reaction system was as follows: 10 μL 2x AceQ qPCR SYBR Green Master Mix, 0.4 μL forward primer (2 μM), 0.4 μL reverse primer (2 μM), 2 μL cDNA (200 ng / μL), and ddH2O was added to a total volume of 20 μL. The PCR reaction program was set as follows: 95°C pre-denaturation for 30 s; followed by 45 cycles of amplification: 95°C for 15 s, 60°C for 30 s; the melting curve analysis step was: 95°C for 15 s, 95°C for 60 s, 97°C for 1 s; finally, the temperature was reduced to 37°C and maintained for 30 s.

[0050] ScGAPDH The internal reference primers of the gene were as follows:qScGAPDH-F: 5'-CACGGCCACTGGAAGCA-3' (SEQ ID NO. 7); qScGAPDH-R: 5'-TCCTCAGGGTTCCTGATGCC-3' (SEQ ID NO. 8).

[0051] AtActin2 The internal reference primers of the qAtActin2-F: 5'-AGTGTCTGGATCGGTGGTTC-3' (SEQ ID NO. 9); qAtActin2-R: 5'-CCCCAGCTTTTTAAGCCTTT-3' (SEQ ID NO. 10).

[0052] qScPHR1-F: 5'-TTCCCAAAGCCTTGTAAC-3' (SEQ ID NO. 11); qScPHR1-R: 5'-TAGCCTGAATATGGTGCC-3' (SEQ ID NO. 12).

[0053] As shown in Table 1, the positive homozygous Arabidopsis lines were obtained by comparing the wild type Arabidopsis. ScPHR1 The gene expression amount is shown in Table 2 (the vertical coordinate is the expression amount). Figure 4

[0054] Figure 4 As shown in Table 3, the gene expression amount in the positive homozygous Arabidopsis lines is significantly higher than that of the wild type. ScPHR1

[0055] Example 5

[0056] ScPHR1 Verification of the function of the gene

[0057] The T3 generation of transgenic Arabidopsis seeds were first sterilized with 75% alcohol for 1 min, and then the alcohol was poured out. Then, 50% 84 disinfectant was used for sterilization for 2 min, and then poured out. Sterilized ddH2O was used for washing for 2 min, and then poured out, and the above steps were repeated 5 times. Finally, 0.1% agarose was added for resuspension, and the seeds were sown on 1 / 2MS medium containing 0.078 mM K2HPO4(LP, low-phosphorus medium) and 0.625 mM K2HPO4(CK, normal medium) after dark treatment for 2 d in a 4°C environment. The seed germination rate and leaf size were observed. The results are shown in Table 4. Figure 5~6

[0058] Figure 5 As shown in Table 5, the germination rate of wild type Arabidopsis seeds in low-phosphorus medium is lower than that of transgenic Arabidopsis.

[0059] Figure 6 As shown in Table 6, the leaf area of wild type Arabidopsis seeds in low-phosphorus medium is significantly lower than that of transgenic Arabidopsis.

[0060] Example 6

[0061] Determination of the resistance of transgenic Arabidopsis to Botrytis cinerea

[0062] The preserved Botrytis cinerea (​​​Botrytis. cinerea ) B. cinerea strain B05.10 was cultured on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium at 22°C for 7 days, and conidia were collected and resuspended in ultrapure water. The conidial concentration was adjusted to 1 x 10 / mL. For whole-plant infection experiments, conidial suspension was sprayed evenly on the leaf surface of the plant using a hand-held sprayer. The inoculated plants were covered with a transparent cover to maintain a high humidity environment of more than 90% to promote fungal infection.

[0063] The leaves of B. cinerea-infected Arabidopsis plants were placed on the surface of sterile ultrapure water and treated by floating at room temperature for 3 h. Subsequently, the initial conductivity (E ) of the solution was measured using a DDSJ-308F conductivity meter (Lei Cun). Then, the sample was boiled for 30 min, and after cooling to room temperature, the final conductivity (E ) of the solution was recorded. The electrolyte leakage rate (%) was calculated according to the following formula: = (E / E ) x 100.

[0064] The results are shown in Figure 7 .

[0065] Figure 7 It is shown that, compared with the wild type control, the necrosis of the leaves of the transgenic material and the electrolyte leakage rate are significantly reduced after inoculation with B. cinerea, indicating that the transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing ScPHR1 has enhanced resistance to B. cinerea.

[0066] From the above examples, it can be seen that a new sugarcane phosphate starvation response gene ScPHR1 is identified from sugarcane, and the function of resistance to low phosphorus and B. cinerea is analyzed. The tobacco subcellular localization results show that ScPHR1 is located in the nucleus. The results of transgenic Arabidopsis treated under low phosphorus conditions show that the overexpressed ScPHR1 can help Arabidopsis to improve the tolerance to low phosphate environment. The results of spraying the transgenic Arabidopsis with B. cinerea conidial liquid show that the overexpressed ScPHR1 can help Arabidopsis to improve the disease resistance to B. cinerea.

[0067] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
