[0039] Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments are all conventional methods.
[0040] Unless otherwise specified, all materials and reagents used in the following examples are commercially available.
[0041] Example 1 1. Transcriptome data analysis This study used purple-leaved colored rapeseed (PL) and a green-leaved control (GL) with a similar background. Both were derived from the segregating population of the same rapeseed inbred line and maintained relatively consistent phenotypic characteristics across multiple inbred generations. Both PL and GL were subjected to drought treatments for 0 days (control), 4 days, 8 days, and 4 days of rehydration, respectively. RNA sequencing analysis was performed on 24 samples to identify differentially expressed genes. Weighted co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and differential gene clustering analysis were performed on the transcriptome data using the MetWare online analysis platform and IDEP 2.01. Hierarchical clustering analysis was performed on DEGs with similar expression patterns across different materials and treatments using IDEP 2.01, employing Pearson correlations and k-means (k=5) algorithms. The clustering results were visualized as heatmaps, as shown below. Picture 1 and Picture 2 As shown.
[0042] like Picture 1 As shown in Figure A, the differentially expressed genes were divided into 23 co-expressed gene modules, with high co-expression levels within each module. Screening of these modules using anthocyanin synthesis structural genes revealed that most of these structural genes were concentrated in the Yellow module. All differentially expressed genes within these modules were extracted and subjected to GO and KEGG enrichment analyses, as shown below. Picture 1 As shown in Figure B, these genes were found to be significantly enriched in biological processes, functions, and cellular components such as small molecule metabolic processes, oxidoreductase activity, and chloroplasts. Furthermore, KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that these genes are primarily concentrated in the synthesis of secondary metabolites. This indicates that these genes include structural genes related to anthocyanin synthesis, as well as functional genes responding to drought stress.
[0043] Focusing on transcription factors in the Yellow module, we discovered... BnaMYB30 All four homologous genes were present in the Yellow module, and the kWithin values of two of these genes ranked among the top three of all screened MYB transcription factors, indicating that they have high connectivity with the structural genes in the Yellow module. At the same time, the gene expression levels were obtained based on transcriptome data.
[0044] Hierarchical clustering analysis results show that BnaMYB30 upstream genes in the anthocyanin synthesis pathway C4H and FLS They have more similar expression patterns. Therefore, it was finally confirmed that... BnaMYB30(BnaC07G0316500ZS) was used as a key gene for subsequent experimental research.
[0045] 2. Phylogenetic analysis and conserved domain analysis of MYB30 The amino acid sequence of BnaMYB30 was obtained from the reference genome of Brassica napus (ZS11.v0). BLAST was performed using the NCBI (https: / / ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and BnIR (https: / / yanglab.hzau.edu.cn / BnIR / ) databases to search for its orthologous proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana, Chinese cabbage, Brassica rapa, Brassica napus, Ethiopian mustard, black mustard, tomato, tobacco, rice, and maize to obtain the corresponding amino acid sequences.
[0046] Cluster analysis of the amino acid sequences of MYB30 from different species was performed using MEGA11 software. The amino acid domains of MYB30 from different species were predicted using the BnIR database and the SMART online analysis platform (https: / / embl-heidelberg.de). The results are as follows: Picture 3 As shown.
[0047] The results showed that BnaMYB30 (BnaC07G0316500ZS) and Ethiopian mustard BcaMYB30 (BcaC06g33651) clustered in the same clade, indicating a high degree of sequence similarity and a possible origin from a common ancestral C subgenome. Furthermore, they exhibited high evolutionary conservation within the Brassicaceae family, suggesting similar biological functions. Maize ZmMYB30 (XP_008652703.1) and rice OsMYB30 (KAB8108656.1) clustered separately, showing differences from BnaMYB30 at multiple amino acid sites, suggesting that this gene may have different functions in monocots and dicots. Conserved domain analysis revealed that the MYB30 protein in all species contains the typical R2R3-MYB domain (PF00249), which is relatively conserved in dicots.

Long-fragment cDNA templates were synthesized using the HiScript II 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (R212-01, Vazyme) for subsequent CDS sequence cloning. The reverse transcription system and reaction conditions were as per the kit instructions.

The obtained PCR products were separated by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. The gel containing the target fragment was excised and the target fragment was recovered using the FastPure Gel DNA Extraction Mini Kit (DC301-01, Vazyme).

[0057] The results showed that BnaMYB30 The green fluorescence signal of -sGFP completely overlaps with the DAPI-stained nuclear region (blue channel), indicating that the BnaMYB30 protein is localized in the cell nucleus. Picture 4 (C). The negative control, using an empty plasmid, showed uniform fluorescence distribution throughout the cell, without nuclear-specific aggregation. (Note: This likely refers to a specific cell type or parameter.) BnaMYB30 The proteins of the gene are all located in the cell nucleus, consistent with their functional characteristics as transcription factors.
[0058] 4. Screening and validation of genetically transformed lines (1) Genetic transformation of rapeseed The same method as described in the above experiment was used to construct and obtain pBnaMYB30 The -sGFP plasmid was then transformed into Agrobacterium GV3101 competent cells using the same method to obtain cells carrying the plasmid. pBnaMYB30 The GV3101 strain carrying the -sGFP plasmid was used via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. pBnaMYB30 The GV3101 strain with the -sGFP plasmid achieved genetic transformation of rapeseed under sterile conditions.
[0059] The Westar inbred line, a common variety of Brassica napus, was selected as the genetic transformation recipient material. Seeds were rigorously screened and stored in a dry environment at 4℃ for later use. The aseptic seedling culture conditions were: temperature 25℃, relative humidity 60%–70%, no light during the dark culture stage, and a light intensity of 60 μmol / m² during the light culture stage. -2 s -1 The photoperiod is 16 hours of light / 8 hours of darkness. The genetic transformation process is as follows: a. Seed sterilization and aseptic seedling culture: Take 200 Westar seeds and place them in a 50mL centrifuge tube. Add 75% ethanol and soak for about 1 minute, gently shaking during the process. After discarding the ethanol, add 1.5% HgCl2 solution and soak for about 15 minutes. Rinse 4 times with sterile water. Sow the sterilized seeds evenly on M0 medium, about 20 seeds per dish, and culture at 24℃ in the dark for 6 days.
[0060] b. Agrobacterium activation and bacterial culture preparation: The preserved strain was streaked onto LB agar containing the appropriate antibiotic and incubated at 28°C for 48 hours. A single colony was picked and inoculated into a 10 mL centrifuge tube containing 4 mL of liquid LB (containing 50 mg / L Kan and 50 mg / L Rif), and incubated at 28°C with shaking at 200 rpm for 14–16 hours until OD (Organic Dioxide) was reached. 600 ≈0.6; Take 4 mL of bacterial culture into a sterile centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 3 min, discard the supernatant, resuspend twice in DM medium, and finally dilute to OD0.6. 600 =0.6~0.8, keep at 4℃.
[0061] c. Explant preparation and infection: Take 6-day-old sterile seedlings, cut off the hypocotyl and cut it into small segments of 0.8~1.0cm, place them in a culture dish with DM medium to keep them moist; immerse the explants in the prepared Agrobacterium suspension for 30min, gently shaking them several times during the process; after removing them, use sterile filter paper to absorb the bacterial solution on the surface of the explants, transfer them to M1 medium, and incubate at 24℃ in the dark for 48h.
[0062] d. Co-culture and screening for differentiation: After co-culture, the explants were transferred to medium containing M2 and cultured under light for 3 weeks to induce callus formation; the callus was transferred to medium M3 and subcultured every 2-3 weeks to screen for differentiated green shoots; when the green shoots grew to 2-3 cm, the complete growing point was cut off and transferred to medium M4 to induce rooting.
[0063] e. Identification and screening of positive plants: DNA was extracted from the transgenic plants screened in hygromycin-resistant medium. The target gene was amplified by PCR according to the method in the above experiment "(3) Acquisition of gene sequence and synthesis of CDS sequence" (primer sequences are shown in Table 1). After band detection by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis and sequencing identification, the positive seedlings were transplanted to the greenhouse for cultivation. After flowering, they were bagged and self-pollinated for seed collection.
[0064] During the tissue culture stage, explants transformed with Agrobacterium were inoculated onto a selection medium containing 50 mg / L hygromycin (Hyg). Continuous selection ensured that the resulting explants exhibited Hyg resistance, guaranteeing the transfer of the vector plasmid. Next, the green shoots were transferred to a rooting medium. Once roots had developed and the seedlings were relatively robust, they were transplanted into substrate soil and cultured in a greenhouse. After the seedlings adapted to the soil culture environment and grew normally, DNA was extracted from young leaf tissue using 35S-... p PCR amplification of the target gene was performed using specific primers on the CAMBIA1300-sGFP vector. 1% agarose gel electrophoresis showed... BnaMYB30 All transgenic plants amplified the target band, and the fragment length was consistent with the corresponding sequence length, while WT showed no specific product. Picture 5 (AB). The PCR products were sequenced, and sequence consistency was confirmed by BLAST alignment. Plants with completely correct sequences were selected for further culture. After flowering, artificial self-pollination was performed using the bagging method to prevent cross-pollination from contaminating the genetic background. After maturity, T1 generation seeds were harvested, dried, and stored at 4℃ for subsequent generation propagation and phenotypic analysis.
[0065] (2) Screening and treatment of genetically transformed lines Using the self-pollinated progeny lines of the selected positive seedlings as experimental materials, and the Westar inbred line of the conventional rapeseed variety as a wild-type control (WT), physiological indicators under drought stress were determined. When the seedlings grew to 2-3 true leaves, RNA was extracted from the seedling leaves to determine the expression level of the target gene. Primers were designed using Primer Premier 5.0 based on the sequencing results in the above experiment "(4) Vector Construction" combined with the gene sequence of the reference genome (Table 2). Two lines with high expression of the target gene were selected and transferred to soil for culture (nutrient soil: vermiculite = 1:1) for subsequent physiological indicator determination.
[0066] Table 2 Primers for quantitative fluorescence detection
[0067] To screen transgenic lines with stable and high expression of target genes, total RNA was extracted from young leaves of T1 generation seedlings, and the expression levels of key genes were analyzed by qRT-PCR, such as... Picture 6 As shown, in the T1 generation transgenic lines BnaMYB30 The expression level was significantly higher than that of wild-type (WT), and it was finally selected. BnaMYB30 -OE1、 BnaMYB30 -OE2 was used as the material for subsequent experiments.
[0068] (3) BnaMYB30 Phenotypic characteristics of overexpression lines under drought stress right BnaMYB30-OE1、 BnaMYB30 Phenotypic observations and physiological index measurements were performed on OE2 and wild-type (WT) materials under drought stress. When seedlings reached 3-4 true leaves, a 10-day cessation of watering was used as the drought stress treatment condition, with normal conditions serving as the control. The experiment was divided into 6 treatment groups: MYB30-OE1_CK: 20 plants randomly selected BnaMYB30 Seedlings with uniform appearance phenotype in gene-high expression line 1 were cultured under normal conditions; MYB30-OE1_D: 20 plants randomly selected BnaMYB30 Stop watering seedlings with uniform appearance phenotype in gene-high expression line 1 for 10 days; MYB30-OE2_CK: 20 plants were randomly selected. BnaMYB30 Seedlings with identical appearance phenotypes in gene-high expression line 2 were cultured under normal conditions; MYB30-OE2_D: 20 plants were randomly selected. BnaMYB30 Stop watering seedlings with uniform appearance in the gene-high expression line 2 for 10 days; WT_CK: Twenty seedlings with identical appearance and phenotypes were randomly selected and cultured under normal conditions; WT_D: Randomly select 20 seedlings of wild type material with the same appearance and phenotype and stop watering for 10 days; Take photos to record the growth on the tenth day after stopping watering. For example... Picture 7 As shown in Figure A, there was no significant difference in growth between the overexpression material and the wild-type material under control conditions. However, significant phenotypic differences were observed under drought stress treatment. BnaMYB30 -OE (hereinafter referred to as OE) MYB30 -OE is more sensitive to drought stress than WT, showing obvious leaf wilting and wrinkling, petiole bending and drooping, and growth and development are severely affected. Picture 7 (B)
[0069] (4) Under drought stress MYB30 Physiological phenotype analysis of -OE and WT Under drought stress BnaMYB30 -OE1、 BnaMYB30 Physiological indicators such as photosynthetic pigment content, anthocyanin content, osmotic regulation capacity, ROS accumulation, and antioxidant enzyme activity of OE2 and wild-type WT were systematically measured.
[0070] Regarding pigment content, such as Picture 8 As shown in Figure A, under drought stress, BnaMYB30The chlorophyll a content of the -OE2 line was significantly lower than that of the control, while the chlorophyll a level of the WT line did not show a significant difference before and after drought treatment. Similarly, both materials showed a significant increase in chlorophyll b content under drought stress. BnaMYB30 The increase was more significant in the -OE2 strain, being 2.46 times that of the control condition. Picture 8 (B) Regarding anthocyanin content, the wild-type material did not show a significant increase under drought stress, while MYB30 -OE materials all showed significant accumulation of anthocyanin content under drought stress, especially BnaMYB30 In the -OE1 line, anthocyanin content was upregulated by 24.8% compared to the control, indicating that the MYB30 gene significantly promoted anthocyanin synthesis under drought stress. Figure 8 (C)
[0071] Physiological indicators such as relative water content (RWC), electrical conductivity (EL), proline (Pro), and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were measured to investigate... MYB30 - Differences between OE and WT in terms of moisture regulation and oxidative damage.
[0072] After drought treatment, MYB30 Both -OE and WT showed significantly lower RWC compared to the control, and under drought stress MYB30 -OE's RWC is significantly lower than WT, indicating MYB30 -OE has a weaker water retention capacity than WT. Figure 9 (A). Similarly, under control conditions, MYB30 Both -OE and WT EL remained at low levels, but showed a rapid increase after drought treatment, and MYB30 The increase in -OE is more significant than that in WT. BnaMYB30 The percentage of cells in the -OE2 strain reached approximately 80%, indicating severe cell membrane damage under drought stress. Figure 9 (Middle B). For example Figure 9 As shown in Figure C, under drought stress, WT responds to stress damage through the large accumulation of Pro, although MYB30 The content of -OE also increased, but compared to the 2.23-fold increase in WT, the two overexpression lines only increased by 1.14 and 0.48 times respectively compared to the control. The Pro content under drought stress was significantly lower than that in WT, reflecting the fact that... MYB30 -OE has a relatively limited ability to regulate osmotic pressure. Malondialdehyde is a product of lipid peroxidation, and due to stress damage, MYB30 The MDA content in both OE and WT was increased after drought treatment. BnaMYB30 The upregulation of MDA content in the -OE2 strain was more significant than that in the WT strain, indicating more severe oxidative damage under stress. Figure 9 (D).
[0073] Regarding antioxidant enzyme activity, drought stress significantly increased it. MYB30 -OE and SOD content in WT, but this increase is more significant in WT, and SOD activity in WT under drought stress is still significantly higher than that in WT. BnaMYB30 -OE1 strain, and BnaMYB30 The content of -OE2 strain and WT under different treatments was not significantly different. Figure 10 (A). Regarding the differences in POD activity, POD increased sharply after drought stress, upregulated by 7.33 times in WT, while BnaMYB30 The level was upregulated by 3.81 times in the -OE1 line under drought stress. BnaMYB30 The POD content in the -OE1 strain was significantly lower than that in the WT strain, while BnaMYB30 The -OE2 line showed an upregulation of 6.76-fold, and under drought stress, there was no significant difference compared to the WT line. Figure 10 (B). Regarding CAT activity, the content in WT under drought stress was relatively low. MYB30 -OE increased significantly, showing a correlation with BnaMYB30 Significant differences in the -OE2 strains ( Figure 10 (C). Regarding APX activity, the upregulation of APX content in WT was more pronounced after drought stress, showing a 2.96-fold increase. MYB30 The upregulation in -OE was less than 2-fold, while APX activity in WT was significantly higher under drought stress than in WT. MYB30 -OE two strains ( Figure 10 (D). In general, BnaMYB30 Overexpression significantly inhibited the activation of SOD, POD, CAT and APX responses under drought-induced conditions, reduced the plant's ROS scavenging capacity, led to the accumulation of oxidative damage, and thus exacerbated the drought sensitivity of overexpressing lines.
[0074] The concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide anion (O2) in leaves were visualized using a diaminobenzidine (DAB) and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) staining method. ·— The distribution and intensity of ( ). For example Figure 11 As shown, compared to the wild type, all materials under drought stress exhibited significant H2O2 (dark brown precipitate) and O2 content. ·— The accumulation of (blue spots) indicates that drought stress promotes a large accumulation of ROS. Significant differences also exist in the degree of ROS accumulation and its spatial distribution among different genotypes. MYB30 -OE leaves under drought stress showed patches of darker blue spots, while WT leaves showed partial accumulation around the veins, indicating that MYB30 - Higher O2 in OE ·— Content. Similarly, MYB30The dark brown precipitate in -OE is darker and covers a larger area than that in WT, indicating a greater accumulation of H2O2.
[0075] 5. Validation in Arabidopsis thaliana Atmyb30 gene deletion mutants were constructed by silencing the Atmyb30 gene through T-DNA insertion. A schematic diagram of T-DNA insertion and primer design is shown below. Figure 12 As shown in Figure A, using the genomic DNA of the candidate plant as a template, amplification was performed using LP+RP primer combinations and BP+RP primer combinations, respectively. The results are shown below. Figure 12 As shown in Figure B, amplification with the LP+RP primer combination yielded no obvious bands, indicating that the wild-type gene fragment in the sample had been disrupted by T-DNA insertion, and no complete wild-type gene was present. Amplification with the BP+RP primer combination yielded clear bands, indicating that the T-DNA had successfully inserted into the corresponding region of the target gene.
[0076] Constructing Arabidopsis BnaMYB30 Overexpression lines ( BnaMYB30 -OE), with wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0) and the successfully constructed Atmyb30 gene deletion mutant as controls. The three plants were placed under normal growth conditions (CK), 1 μM abscisic acid (ABA) treatment, and 200 mM mannitol (simulated drought) treatment, respectively. After uniform cultivation, the growth phenotypes of the three plants were observed and compared. The results are as follows: Figure 13 As shown.
[0077] It can be seen that under normal growth conditions, there were no significant differences in the growth phenotypes of the three; under 1 μM ABA treatment, BnaMYB30 -OE grew normally, while Atmyb30 growth was severely inhibited; under 200mM mannitol treatment... BnaMYB30 -OE root growth was inhibited, while Atmyb30 had a well-developed root system and relatively better growth; this indicates that the Atmyb30 mutant is more sensitive to ABA, has a stronger drought stress response, a more developed root system under simulated drought conditions, and higher drought resistance; BnaMYB30 Plants that overexpress ABA are less sensitive to ABA, have a weaker ability to respond to drought stress, and show suppressed root growth and poorer drought resistance under simulated drought conditions.
[0078] Example 2 1. MYB30 Differential gene expression analysis between OE and WT In order to investigate BnaMYB30 The functions of plant drought stress response and anthocyanin synthesis were selected. BnaMYB30 -OE2 strain (hereinafter referred to as MYB30Transcriptome analysis was performed on samples from wild-type controls (OE) and wild-type controls (WT) under normal conditions and under drought stress treatment with 10 days of withheld irrigation. Results are as follows: Figure 14 As shown in Figure A. MYB30 -OE exhibits different gene expression characteristics compared to WT under drought stress. MYB30 -OE already has a number of constitutively differentially expressed genes under normal conditions, but under drought stress, the differences between the two materials further widen. MYB30 More genes in the -OE strain showed suppressed expression, indicating BnaMYB30 It exhibits a regulatory pattern that suppresses expression under drought stress.
[0079] Venn diagram analysis was performed on the differentially expressed genes between the two materials under drought stress. Figure 14 (B) It was found that under drought stress MYB30 Differential gene expression between -OE and WT exhibits both common regulatory patterns and significant material specificity. These specific differentially expressed genes may be involved in unique biological processes or regulatory levels, resulting in differences in drought resistance between the two materials.
[0080] 2. Under drought stress MYB30 Differential gene enrichment analysis between OE and WT To further explore BnaMYB30 The role of anthocyanins in drought stress response was investigated, and the mechanisms underlying differences in drought stress response among different materials were analyzed. MYB30 -OE and WT were subjected to GO and KEGG enrichment analyses of DEGs before and after drought stress, respectively. Figure 15 and Figure 16 ).
[0081] MYB30 MYB30-OE and WT exhibit significant regulatory network differentiation. GO and KEGG enrichment revealed that WT primarily responds to drought stress damage by activating basic drought resistance pathways such as hormone signaling, metabolic defense, and photosynthetic maintenance. In contrast, MYB30-OE is specifically enriched in ribosome function, demonstrating a singular stress response mechanism. Based on the physiological data from Example 1, it is inferred that MYB30-OE promotes anthocyanin synthesis under drought stress by specifically activating the flavonoid pathway, while anthocyanin accumulation in WT is limited due to metabolic diversion to the isoflavone pathway.
[0082] 3. Under drought stress MYB30 Expression analysis of anthocyanin structural genes in -OE and WT Seventeen structural genes encoding enzymes related to the anthocyanin synthesis pathway were screened from DEGs of different materials and treatments. These included: four chalcone isomerase (CHI) genes, four flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H) genes, two flavanone 3'-hydroxylase (F3'H) genes, four flavonol synthase (FLS) genes, and one each of dihydroflavonol reductase (DFR) gene, anthocyanin synthase (ANS) gene, and UDP-flavonoid glucosyltransferase (UFGTs) gene.
[0083] Based on its corresponding position in the anthocyanin synthesis pathway and the changes in its expression levels in different comparison groups, a pathway heatmap was created for a visual representation. BnaMYB30 The effects of drought stress on the expression of anthocyanin synthesis structural genes. Figure 17 As shown in Figure A, drought stress significantly induced MYB30 -OE and WT showed upregulation of most anthocyanin synthesis genes. In particular, the expression of two F3'H genes was significantly downregulated under drought stress, with BnaC01G0156000ZS showing the following: MYB30 Downregulated in -OE, while BnaA01G0125700ZS and BnaC01G0156000ZS were downregulated in WT. Among the upregulated genes, CHI (BnaC06G0193800ZS) F3H (BnaC08G0427800ZS) DFR (BnaC09G0215200ZS) and FLS (BnaA02G0404600ZS, BnaA02G0404600ZS) under drought stress MYB30 It showed a significant upregulation in -OE. FLS (BnaC08G0286600ZS) and UGT75C1 (BnaC08G0116200ZS) showed good performance under both control and drought treatments. MYB30 - Significant difference between OE and WT.
[0084] Clustering heatmap analysis of these differentially expressed genes revealed that approximately two-thirds of the key structural genes showed changes under drought stress. MYB30 Higher expression in -OE materials, including early synthetic genes CHI , F3H Late-stage synthetic genes DFR and flavonol synthase gene FLS ( Figure 17 (B) (speculation) MYB30 -OE induces the upregulation of structural genes in a large number of flavonoid pathways under drought stress, synthesizing antioxidant metabolites such as anthocyanins and flavonols to alleviate drought stress damage.
[0085] 4. Analysis of promoter cis-regulatory elements of differentially expressed genes in the anthocyanin synthesis pathway The promoter cis-regulatory elements of these structural genes were analyzed. Figure 18 Using PlantCARE online analysis software, cis-acting element analysis was performed on the 2000bp promoter sequences of the 19 differentially expressed structural genes enriched above. Visualization using TBtool revealed the widespread presence of MYB binding sites (MBS, MYB, MYB-like sequences) and various hormone and stress response elements (such as ABRE, DRE, highly repetitive TC sequences, G-box, etc.) on the promoters of anthocyanin synthesis structural genes, suggesting that their expression may be synergistically regulated by multiple signaling pathways. It is speculated that key transcription factors may synergistically activate the expression of these structural genes by integrating multiple signals such as ABA, JA, and ROS.
[0086] 5. BnMYB30 Prediction of downstream target genes Based on the PlantTFDB-based Retrieve Regulation module, for key transcription factors BnaMYB30 Predicting downstream target genes revealed that in BnaMYB30 The predicted target genes included the three key structural genes screened above, including two... FLS1 Genes (BnaA06G0169300ZS, BnaC08G0286600ZS) and UGT75C 1 (BnaC08G0116200ZS). In FLS1 In the promoter of (BnaA06G0169300ZS), two possible binding sites were predicted: TTACCAACCACCCAA (SEQ ID NO:9) / TCCTCACCTACCACT (SEQ ID NO:10). FLS1 Three possible binding sites were predicted in the promoter of (BnaC08G0286600ZS): TTACCAACCACCCAA (SEQ ID NO:9) / TCCTCACCTACCACT (SEQ ID NO:10) / CTCTCAACCACCATA (SEQ ID NO:11). UGT75C1 The binding site TCCACACCCACCAAC (SEQ ID NO:12) was predicted. The presence of these binding sites was confirmed based on the promoter sequence in the reference genome. Simultaneously, based on... Figure 17 The expression changes of these three genes in different groups revealed that all three genes showed differential expression between overexpression materials and wild-type materials, especially FLS1(BnaC08G0286600ZS) and UGT75C1 (BnaC08G0116200ZS) showed significant differences between the two materials under both control and drought stress conditions.
[0087] Based on the above prediction results, the BnMYB30 protein and its derivatives were predicted using AlphaFold and HDOCK servers. FLS1 (BnaC08G0286600ZS) and UGT75C1 The structural model and interaction sites of the (BnaC08G0116200ZS) promoter (1500bp) were analyzed. The model with the highest confidence was submitted to PyMOL software for visualization. The gray chain represents the protein sequence, the green chain represents the candidate target gene promoter sequence, and the hydrogen bonds between them are indicated by red dashed lines. Figure 19 The directional and specific interactions between proteins and their ligands primarily rely on hydrogen bonds, which play a crucial role in protein recognition of specific DNA sequences. It was found that BnaMYB30 can interact with... FLS1 (BnaC08G0286600ZS) and UGT75C1 The promoter of (BnaC08G0116200ZS) forms hydrogen bonds at multiple sites, indicating that there may be interaction sites between these DNAs and proteins, further increasing the possibility that these structural genes are downstream target genes of key transcription factors.
[0088] 6. BnMYB30 Validation of downstream target genes To verify MYB30 right UGT75C1 and FLS1 The transcriptional regulatory role of [the substance] was verified in multiple dimensions using yeast one-hybrid (Y1H), dual-luciferase reporter system (Dual-Luc), and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA).
[0089] Based on the JASAR prediction results of binding sites, the predicted binding sites containing BnaMYB30 will be... BnaUGT75C1 and BnaFLS1The promoter fragment 1500 bp upstream of the ATG gene was cloned into the pHis2 bait vector to construct recombinant plasmids proUGT75C1-pHis2 and proFLS1-pHis2. Simultaneously, the CDS sequence of MYB30 was cloned into the pGADT7 prey vector to construct the recombinant plasmid pGADT7-MYB30. Yeast Y187 competent cells were co-transformed with the bait plasmids ProUGT75C1-pHis2 and ProFLS1-pHis2 along with the prey plasmid pGADT7-MYB30 as experimental groups, while the control groups were co-transformed with the empty pGADT7 vector. Y187[p53-His2+pGADT7-p53] and Y187[p53-His2+pGADT7] served as positive and negative controls, respectively, and were spotted onto SD / -His / -Leu / -Trp and SD / -His / -Leu / -Trp with 3-AT in the order of experimental groups first, followed by control groups. like Figure 20 As shown in Figure A, the experimental group grew on both plates, while the control group was significantly inhibited on SD / -His / -Leu / -Trp with 3-AT. The growth of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group, indicating that BnaMYB0 protein and... BnaUGT75C1 and BnaFLS1 There is binding between the promoters, further increasing... BnaUGT75C1 and BnaFLS1 for BnaMYB0 Potential downstream target genes.
[0090] By using a dual-luciferase assay, BnaUGT75C1 and BnaFLS1 The 1500bp promoter sequence was ligated into a reporter vector containing the firefly luciferase gene (LUC) and the kidney luciferase gene (REN) driven by the 35S promoter, and the 1500bp promoter sequence was ligated into a reporter vector. BnaMYB30 The full-length CDS was connected to the effector driven by the 35S promoter, and the following results were obtained: pGreenII proUGT75C1-LUC , pGreenII proFLS1-LUC Recombinant report plasmids and pGreenII 62-SK-BnMYB30 Recombinant effector plasmids, in order to pGreenII 62-SK Empty plasmid as a control ( Figure 20 (B) The reporter plasmid and effect plasmid were combined separately as experimental groups, and the reporter plasmid and effect plasmid were combined as experimental groups. pGreenII 62-SK Empty vector plasmids were used as control groups, and simultaneously expressed in tobacco leaf epidermal cells. It was found that BnaMYB30 could activate… BnaUGT75C1 and BnaFLS1 Promoter-driven LUC fluorescence signal ( Figure 20 (C) indicates that BnaMYB30 positively regulates downstream target genes. BnaUGT75C1 and BnaFLS1 The expression.
[0091] Using JASPAR to analyze BnaMYB30 and BnaUGT75C1 and BnaFLS1 Promoter binding sites were predicted, and the positions and partial binding site sequences of the top five binding sites with the highest relative scores were shown below. Figure 20 As shown in Figure D. Based on the highest relative score prediction and combined with the amplified 1500bp promoter sequence, probes for the EMSA experiment were designed: BnaFLS1 probe: ataatcaaccacccaagca (SEQ ID NO:13); BnaUGT75C1 probe: ctggttggtgggtgtggaggt (SEQ ID NO:14). Figure 20 As shown in Figure E, the experimental results of the protein-free group, the biotin probe experimental group, and the 10× cold probe competitive binding group indicate that the MYB30 protein can specifically bind to... UGT75C1 and FLS1 The corresponding specific sites in the promoter. In the biotinylated probe group, MYB30 protein formed a DNA-protein complex with the probe, which was observed as an electrophoretic migration retardation band; while in the protein-free control group, only the free probe signal was observed, indicating that MYB30 protein can bind to the probe to form a complex, leading to electrophoretic migration retardation. Simultaneous addition of biotinylated probe and 10× unlabeled cold probe significantly weakened the retardation band of the biotinylated probe, indicating that the cold probe inhibited the formation of the biotinylated complex by competitively binding to MYB30 protein, further confirming the binding ability of MYB30 protein to the probe sequence.
[0092] The above results confirm that MYB30 can directly bind via the sequences ctggttggtgggtgtggaggt and ataatcaaccacccaagca. UGT75C1 and FLS1 The promoter regulates the expression of both. A combination of three experiments—yeast one-hybrid assay, dual-luciferase complementation assay, and electrophoretic mobility shift analysis—determined the... BnaFLS1 and BnaUGT75C1 yes BnaMYB30 BnaMYB30 can bind to downstream target genes. BnaFLS1 and BnaUGT75C1 The corresponding sequence on the promoter regulates the glycosylation of anthocyanins and the synthesis of flavonols.

A method for regulating the drought resistance of rapeseed and / or regulating the anthocyanin content of rapeseed under drought stress, characterized in that, The method includes: regulating the drought resistance of rapeseed and its anthocyanin content under drought stress by controlling the expression level of BnaMYB30 in rapeseed; increasing the expression level of BnaMYB30 in rapeseed to reduce its drought resistance and increase its anthocyanin content under drought stress; and decreasing the expression level of BnaMYB30 in rapeseed to improve its drought resistance and reduce its anthocyanin content under drought stress.
9. The method according to claim 8, characterized in that, The methods for increasing the expression level of BnaMYB30 in rapeseed include any one or more of the following: (1) Introduce the BnaMYB30 gene to overexpress it; (2) Gene editing modifies the regulatory region of the endogenous BnaMYB30 gene to enhance transcription; (3) Apply BnaMYB30 gene promoter activator to promote its expression; (4) Introduce transcriptional regulatory factors that upregulate the expression of the BnaMYB30 gene.
10. The method according to claim 8, characterized in that, The methods for reducing the expression level of BnaMYB30 in rapeseed include any one or more of the following: (1) Introduce the BnaMYB30 gene silencing vector to inhibit the expression of this gene; (2) Gene editing to knock out or knock down the endogenous BnaMYB30 gene; (3) Administering a BnaMYB30 gene promoter inhibitor to weaken transcription; (4) Introduce inhibitory regulatory factors that downregulate the expression of the BnaMYB30 gene.
