Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, specifically relating to an alfalfa seed-specific expression promoter and its application in the rapid screening and identification of transgenic plants. Background Technology
[0002] Alfalfa is an important leguminous forage crop, possessing excellent characteristics such as high protein content and good palatability, making it an indispensable feed resource for animal husbandry. my country's supply of high-quality alfalfa hay and seeds is highly dependent on imports, and existing alfalfa varieties are far from meeting production needs. Currently, alfalfa breeding work still mainly relies on recurrent selection, resulting in long breeding cycles and a limited number of bred varieties. With the development of biotechnology, new technologies and methods such as male-sterile line hybridization breeding, cell engineering breeding, and space breeding are gradually being applied to the alfalfa breeding process.
[0003] In the field of biotechnology breeding, commonly used transgenic markers in alfalfa include hygromycin resistance and glufosinate resistance, but there is a lack of seed-specific, rapid, and non-destructive phenotypic markers for transgenic screening. During the breeding process, seed-specific expression promoters driving the expression of fluorescently labeled genes can effectively achieve transgenic seed screening. Seed-specific expression promoters are an important tool for improving plant seed genetic engineering.
[0004] Because alfalfa is a homotetraploid with high heterozygosity, its gene function analysis faces significant challenges. The closely related alfalfa has advantages such as a smaller diploid genome, self-pollination, short growth period, and ease of genetic transformation, and is often used as the model species of leguminous plants, providing convenience for the exploration of gene function in alfalfa species.
[0005] In conclusion, developing a seed-specific promoter for alfalfa is of great significance for basic research and bio-breeding applications of alfalfa. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The main problem this invention aims to solve is how to make alfalfa seeds specifically express their characteristics, thus facilitating alfalfa breeding.
[0007] To address the above problems, the present invention provides DNA molecules as follows: a), b), or c): a) The nucleotide sequence is the DNA molecule with positions 25-2896 of SEQ ID No:1; b) A DNA fragment that has 99%, 95%, 90%, 85%, or 80% or more identity with the nucleotide sequence defined in a), and is derived from alfalfa and has promoter function; c) A DNA fragment that hybridizes to the nucleotide sequence defined in a) or b) under strict conditions and has promoter function.
[0008] The aforementioned 75% or higher consistency can be expressed as 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95% or higher consistency.
[0009] The present invention also provides expression cassettes or recombinant vectors containing the DNA molecules described above.
[0010] The expression cassette containing the PHApro promoter refers to DNA capable of expressing a target gene in a host cell. This DNA includes not only the PHApro promoter to initiate the target gene but may also include a terminator to terminate the transcription of the target gene. Furthermore, the expression cassette may also include an enhancer sequence. The transcription terminators mentioned include, but are not limited to: Agrobacterium carmine synthase terminator (NOS terminator), cauliflower mosaic virus CaMV 35S terminator, tml terminator, pea rbcS E9 terminator, and carmine and octopine synthase terminators (see, for example: Odell et al. (1985) Nature 313:810; Rosenberg et al. (1987) Gene, 56:125; Guerineau et al. (1991) Mol. Gen. Genet, 262:141; Proudfoot (1991) Cell, 64:671; Sanfacon et al. Genes Dev., 5:141; Mogen et al. (1990) Plant Cell, 2:1261; Munroe et al. (1990) Gene, 91:151; Ballad et al. (1989) Nucleic Acids Res. 17:7891; Joshi et al. (1987) Nucleic Acid Res., 15:9627).
[0011] The recombinant vector can be a recombinant expression vector or a recombinant cloning vector.
[0012] In one specific embodiment, the recombinant vector may be pEarleyGate100- PHA pro :RFP Carrier. The pEarleyGate100- PHA pro :RFP The structure of the vector is described as follows: It is a recombinant vector obtained by inserting a DNA fragment (sequence 19-3582 of SEQ ID No:1) between the 5'-GCAGCAGCTGACGCGTAC-3' and 5'-TCTAGAGAGTTAATTAAG-3' fragments of the starting vector pEarleyGate100, while keeping the other sequences of the pEarleyGate100 vector unchanged. pEarleyGate100-PHA pro :RFP The vector can express RFP fluorescent protein, whose amino acid sequence is SEQ ID No:2.
[0013] The present invention also provides recombinant microorganisms containing the DNA molecules described above.
[0014] The recombinant microorganisms may specifically be bacteria, yeast, algae, and fungi. Among them, bacteria may be derived from the genus *Escherichia* (…). Escherichia Erwinia () Erwinia ), Agrobacterium tumefaciens ( Agrobacterium Flavobacterium ( Flavobacterium Alcaligenes ( ) Alcaligenes ), Pseudomonas spp. Pseudomonas ), Bacillus spp. ( Bacillus (etc.) The transgenic cell lines mentioned do not include plant propagation material.
[0015] The present invention also provides a transgenic cell line containing the DNA molecules described above.

[0018] This invention also provides the application of the DNA molecules described above in initiating the expression of target genes in plants.
[0019] Furthermore, the activation of the target gene expression refers to the specific expression of the target gene in plant seeds.
[0020] This invention also provides the application of the aforementioned DNA molecules or recombinant vectors or expression cassettes, recombinant microorganisms or transgenic cell lines in the cultivation of transgenic plants or plant breeding.
[0021] The term "transgenic plant" is understood to include not only the first-generation transgenic plants obtained by transforming a target gene into a target plant, but also its progeny. For transgenic plants, the gene can be propagated within the species, or it can be transferred into other varieties of the same species using conventional breeding techniques, particularly commercial varieties. The transgenic plant includes seeds, callus tissue, complete plants, and cells.
[0022] Furthermore, the plant may be as follows: N1) Dicotyledons; N2) Leguminosae; N3) Leguminosae (family legumes); N4) Alfalfa species; N5) Tribulus terrestris or alfalfa.
[0023] This invention provides an alfalfa seed-specific promoter, PHApro, and its application method. This promoter can be used to enhance gene expression in a seed-specific manner, and can be applied to seed-specific labeling or seed trait improvement. For example, this promoter drives the formation of a molecular module of fluorescently labeled proteins, enabling efficient and non-destructive visual sorting of transgenic seeds. Linking this seed phenotypic marker module with other functional modules and transferring it into recipient plants enables efficient and non-destructive sorting of transgenic seeds. This method provides an efficient phenotypic marker for transgenic seeds, facilitating rapid and non-destructive identification of transgenic seeds, and also provides a powerful tool for seed-specific trait improvement, which is of great significance for biobreeding.

The crushing step was repeated to ensure thorough mixing of the sample and buffer. The pestle was removed. After the rapid test strip and the sample solution were brought to room temperature, the rapid test strip was removed from the test strip container and directly inserted into the sample slot. The time was 8-10 minutes, and the results were read. Positive materials showed two bands, a C line and a T line, on the Bar rapid test strip, while the negative control only showed a C line band. No bands were considered due to improper operation or test strip failure. The results showed that... PHA pro :RFP- 1. PHA pro :RFP- 2. PHA pro :RFP- All three Bar tests were positive. Figure 4 ).
