[0002] Acidic soils (pH < 5.5) account for approximately 50% of the world's potential arable land. Aluminum toxicity and low phosphorus stress are two major problems limiting crop production in acidic soils. These stresses are particularly pronounced in strongly acidic soils (pH < 4.5), where most crops yield poorly, resulting in the underutilization of the production potential of these marginal lands. Therefore, breeding new crop varieties with strong tolerance to aluminum toxicity and low phosphorus stress is of great significance for tapping the production potential of strongly acidic soils and ensuring food security.

In tropical and subtropical regions, Stylosanthes kirilowii is widely cultivated as a forage and green manure crop, effectively restoring degraded farmland and improving soil fertility. Identifying the key genes in Stylosanthes kirilowii's aluminum toxicity tolerance and low phosphorus stress tolerance can be used to improve the adaptability of other plants to strongly acidic soils.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] The *Stylosanthes* material used in the following examples was obtained from the Institute of Tropical Crop Germplasm Resources, Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences, while the wild-type *Arabidopsis thaliana* was bred and preserved independently by our research group. The primers used in these examples were synthesized by Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The competent cells used in these examples were purchased from Shanghai Weidi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0029] Example:

[0030] Example 1: Stylosanthes pubescens SgIMP1 Analysis of gene expression patterns in response to low phosphorus and aluminum toxicity stress

[0031] 1. Hydroponic experiment of low-phosphorus treatment of Stylosanthes chinensis

[0032] The experiment on low phosphorus stress treatment of Stylosanthes chinensis was conducted using a hydroponic method, and the steps are as follows:

[0033] Remove the seed coat from Reyan No.5 seeds, heat shock at 80℃ for 3 min, sterilize with 10% (v / v) sodium hypochlorite (239305, Sigma-Aldrich) for 5 min, wash several times with distilled water, spread evenly in a petri dish lined with moist filter paper, and germinate in the dark for 2-3 days. Then, transfer to a modified Magnavaca nutrient solution (pH=5.8) for pre-culture for 14 days. The modified Magnavaca nutrient solution has the following component concentrations: 1000 μM potassium chloride, 1500 μM ammonium nitrate, 1000 μM calcium chloride, 200 μM magnesium sulfate, 500 μM magnesium nitrate, 155 μM magnesium chloride, 11.8 μM manganese chloride, 77 μM iron-HEDTA, 0.8 μM copper sulfate, 3.06 μM zinc sulfate, 1.07 μM sodium molybdate, 33 μM boric acid, and 300 μM or 5 μM potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH₂PO₄). The chemical reagents used for the above nutrient solution components were purchased from Shanghai Yuanye Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0034] After the pre-culture, seedlings with uniform growth were selected and transferred to fresh modified Magnavaca nutrient solutions containing 300 μM KH₂PO₄ (normal phosphorus treatment group, denoted as NP) and 5 μM KH₂PO₄ (low phosphorus treatment group, denoted as LP) for further treatment. The LP treatment group received a supplemental nutrient solution containing 295 μM KCl to maintain a K balance between the two treatments. During the pre-culture and treatment periods, the nutrient solution was changed every 3 days, and the pH was adjusted to 5.8 using H₂SO₄ (C0680154025, Nanjing Reagent) or KOH (C0111510123, Nanjing Reagent). Root samples were harvested after 14 days of seedling treatment.

[0035] 2. The hydroponic experiment on aluminum toxicity treatment of Stylosanthes kirilowii, the steps are as follows:

[0036] The disinfection, germination, and pre-culture conditions for Stylosanthes Species No. 5 seeds were the same as those in the hydroponic experiment of low-phosphorus treatment of Stylosanthes Species in section 1 above. After 10 days of pre-culture, seedlings with uniform growth were selected and transplanted to either plants treated with 540 μM AlCl3 (W14271, source leaf) (aluminum toxicity treatment, +Al) or plants without AlCl3 (control). The root samples were treated with a fresh modified Magnavaca nutrient solution (with a KH2PO4 concentration of 45 μM, and other parameters the same as the modified Magnavaca nutrient solution described in section 1 above). During the treatment period, the modified Magnavaca nutrient solution was replaced with fresh solution every 3 days. In this experiment, the pH of the modified Magnavaca nutrient solution was first adjusted to 7.8 with KOH (to prevent premature hydrolysis of AlCl3 and precipitation), then AlCl3 was added and stirred to dissolve. Finally, the pH was adjusted to 4.0 with 1M HCl (87472, Supelco). Furthermore, the pH of the nutrient solution was calibrated to 4.0 daily during the treatment period. Root samples were collected after 10 days of treatment.

[0037] 3. Quantitative Real-Time PCR Analysis

[0038] Normal phosphorus (NP) and low phosphorus (LP) treatments, as well as the control group, were collected separately. Stylosanthes roots were treated with Al and aluminum toxicity (+Al) and ground into powder using liquid nitrogen as samples. Total RNA was extracted from the roots using a plant total RNA extraction kit (DP432, TIANGEN). The integrity of the total RNA was assessed by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis (1110GR100, BioFroxx), following the kit's instructions. cDNA synthesis was performed using the HiScript III RT SuperMix for qPCR reverse transcription kit (R323-01, Vazyme). The synthesized cDNA was used as a template to select the Stylosanthes housekeeping gene. SgUBCE1 As an internal reference gene (sequence SEQ ID NO: 19), designed SgUBCE1 Quantitative PCR primers ( SgUBCE1 -RT-F:CAGATCAAGCTGCTGACGAA (SEQ ID NO: 3); SgUBCE1 -RT-R:GAACAAGCGATCATCAGGTTT (SEQ IDNO: 4)) and SgIMP1 Quantitative PCR primers for genes ( SgIMP1 -RT-F:GGAACAAAACGTGACAAGGCAACAT(SEQ IDNO: 5); SgIMP1-RT-R: TACAACACCTCCGGCTTCTCTAACA (SEQ ID NO: 6)); Quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed using ChamQ Universal SYBR qPCR Master Mix (Vazyme, China) reagents. The instrument used was a QuantStudio 6 Flex qRT-PCR system (Applied Biosystems, USA). For specific operating procedures, please refer to the reagent and instrument manuals.

[0039] Total RNA integrity test results are as follows Figure 1 As shown, the 28S and 18S bands are clear and without diffusion, indicating that the extracted total RNA is of good quality. SgIMP1 RT-qPCR expression analysis results of genes under different treatments are as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, Figure 2 middle, The results indicate a significant difference between the normal phosphorus (NP) and low phosphorus (LP) treatments (Student's t-test). P <0.01), by Figure 2 It can be seen that under low phosphorus stress, the roots of Stylosanthes stylosum... SgIMP1 The relative expression level of the gene was significantly upregulated compared to normal phosphorus treatment; Figure 3 middle, Indicates comparison ( The difference between Al and aluminum poisoning treatment (+Al) is significant (Student's t -test, P <0.01), by Figure 3 It can be seen that under the stress of aluminum toxicity SgIMP1 The relative expression level of the gene in the roots of *Stylosanthes cuspidata* was also significantly higher than that in the control treatment. In summary, SgIMP1 Gene expression in the roots of Stylosanthes was induced by low phosphorus and aluminum toxicity stress, and showed a significant upregulation trend under both stress treatments.

[0040] Example 2: Stylosanthes pubescens SgIMP1 Gene cloning and phylogenetic tree analysis

[0041] Fresh *Stylosanthes stylosum* root samples were immediately ground into powder using liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted and cDNA synthesized following the method in Example 1. Primers were designed.

[0043] The PCR product was purified using the FastPure Gel DNA Extraction Mini Kit (DC301-01, Vazyme), and Sanger sequencing was performed using the aforementioned amplification primers to obtain... SgIMP1 Gene sequence information. The amino acid sequence of the SgIMP1 protein was deduced based on the nucleotide sequence. SgIMP1 The nucleotide sequence of the gene is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. SgIMP1 The amino acid sequence of the gene-encoded protein is shown in SEQ ID NO: 2.

[0044] 2. Phylogenetic analysis of SgIMP1 protein sequence

[0045] The SgIMP1 protein sequence was aligned with the protein sequences of all members of the IMP family from other plants, using default parameters, and a maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree was constructed. The results are as follows: Figure 4 The results showed that SgIMP1 has the highest homology with AtVTC4 protein in the Arabidopsis IMP protein family, suggesting that the two have similar biological functions.

[0046] Example 3: Expression, purification, and substrate-specific analysis of recombinant SgIMP1 protein

[0047] 1. Expression and purification of SgIMP1 protein

[0048] Using *Stylosanthes cuspidatum* cDNA as a template, primers were designed (GST-SgIMP-F: GATCCCGAATTCCCGGATGACCGTCTCCTCTGAAAG (SEQ ID NO: 9); GST-SgIMP-R: CGCTCGAGTCGACCCGGTCATACTTTTTTAGTACCAGCCTTG (SEQ ID NO: 10)) to amplify cDNA carrying the pGEX6P3 vector adapter. SgIMP1 Full-length CDS; the pGEX6P3 vector was digested with restriction endonuclease SmaI (R0141V, NEB), and the amplified vector was simultaneously digested. SgIMP1 The full-length CDS fragment was digested with the corresponding enzymes; the pGEX6P3 vector and... SgIMP1 Gene linking, construction SgIMP1 Recombinant protein expression vector pGEX6P3- with sequence fused to GST tag SgIMP1 .

[0049] The constructed pGEX6P3- SgIMP1 The vector was transformed into *Escherichia coli* BL21 (EC1001, Weidi Biotechnology) via heat shock. An appropriate amount of bacterial culture was added to 200 mL of LB liquid medium and cultured in a shaker at 37°C until OD (Organic Degree) was reached. 600 The concentration was set to 0.8, then 0.8 mM IPTG was added and the mixture was transferred to a shaker at 28°C for 6 h of further incubation. The bacterial culture was then centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 10 min, the supernatant was removed, and the bacterial cells were collected. The precipitate was resuspended in 20 mL of binding buffer (140 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 10 mM Na₂HPO₄, 1.8 mM KH₂PO₄, 5 mM DTT), and the bacterial cells were disrupted using an ultrasonic homogenizer. The supernatant was collected after centrifugation at 12000 rpm for 20 min. The protein was then purified using a GST fusion protein purification kit (70601-K10, BEAVER, China), following the instructions in the product manual. The purified GST was then... SgIMP1 The fusion protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE, with the unpurified total protein (collected supernatant) as a reference to determine protein purity.

[0050] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown in Figure A, compared with the total protein channels, the protein channels purified by the two-step method of the kit showed clear and single protein bands with a molecular weight of approximately 56 KD, indicating that the GST:SgIMP1 fusion protein was successfully induced to express in E. coli and the target protein with good purification effect was obtained.

[0051] 2. Substrate specificity analysis of SgIMP1 recombinant protein

[0052] The concentration of the purified GST:SgIMP1 fusion protein was determined using the Coomassie Brilliant Blue assay with bovine serum albumin (A1933, Sigma) as a standard. Substrate solutions with concentrations of 2 mM sodium phytate (Phy-P) (B21664, Yuan Ye) or 2 mM D-inositol 1-phosphate (D-Ins 1-P) (D333623, Aladdin) were prepared using 50 mM sodium acetate (241245, Sigma-Aldrich) solution (pH=5.6, containing 5 mM MgCl2) as solvent. The reaction mixture was then added as follows: 50 μL substrate solution + protein sample solution (containing 0.5 μg protein), followed by a final volume of 100 μL with 50 mM sodium acetate solution. The control reaction mixture consisted of 50 μL substrate + 50 μL 50 mM sodium acetate solution. The prepared reaction system was placed at 37°C for 15 min, and the phosphorus content in the reaction product was determined using an inorganic phosphorus test kit (C006-1-1, Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute).

[0053] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown in Figure B, GST:SgIMP1 exhibits higher specific activity for D-inositol 1-phosphate (D-Ins 1-P) substrates compared to sodium phytate (Phy-P) substrates (Figure B). Indicates a significant difference, Student's t -test, P <0.001). This result indicates that the SgIMP1 protein can catalyze the dephosphorylation of D-Ins 1-P, and releases a higher content of inorganic phosphorus, thereby producing free inositol.
