Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular biology, and more specifically to... NtGLK1 Application of genes in tobacco cold tolerance. Background Technology
[0002] tobacco( Nicotiana tabacum L. As an important economic crop originating in tropical and subtropical regions, tobacco is highly sensitive to water and soil conditions. Its optimal growth temperature is 25℃~28℃. Low-temperature stress restricts tobacco growth, reduces its quality and yield, and temperatures as low as -2℃ to -3℃ can lead to the death of tobacco plants. Given the uncertainties brought about by global climate change, breeding highly cold-resistant tobacco varieties is of great significance. Currently, identifying key functional genes and improving new varieties through molecular breeding techniques such as molecular marker-assisted selection or gene editing is an effective and feasible approach.
[0003] The plant GLK gene, full name GOLDEN2-LIKE Its name originates from corn ( Zea mays Leaf color mutant golden2 This research focuses on the protein encoded by this gene, which belongs to the GARP superfamily, a plant-specific transcription factor superfamily. This gene can target and regulate the expression of photosynthesis-related genes, regulate chloroplast development, and participate in regulating nutrient accumulation in fruits, leaf senescence, immune responses, and abiotic stress responses. Although the GLK gene family has a small number of members in the plant genome, its highly conserved function suggests its fundamental role in plant life activities. This conservation is evident in plants ranging from mosses to rice and peanuts, where GLK plays a central role in regulating chloroplast development and serves as a key integrative hub for plant responses to various abiotic stresses and for maintaining plant survival and growth.
[0004] Studies have found that overexpression SIGLK1 or SIGLK2 This gene can significantly increase the number and size of chloroplasts in tomato fruits, enhance the accumulation of photosynthetic products such as starch and sugars, and provide more precursors for carotenoid synthesis, indicating that this gene affects the nutrition and quality of the fruit. Studies have found that in Arabidopsis thaliana... atglk1 / atglk2 The double mutant exhibits premature leaf senescence, while overexpression in the double mutant... AtGLK1 / AtGLK2 This can complement its premature aging phenotype, suggesting that GLK1 may resist the aging process by maintaining chloroplast function and photosynthetic activity. Furthermore, GLK1 plays a positive role in plant stress resistance; sustained expression of maize GLK in rice can improve stomatal conductivity and photosynthetic efficiency under field conditions, thereby enhancing the drought resistance of rice.

[0041] (4) Transformation and identification Transform 5-10 μL of the ligation product into competent E. coli cells, following the instructions (Fast-T1 chemocompetent cells, Novizan, catalog number: C505-03). Plate the transformed cells onto 50 µg / mL kanamycin-resistant LB agar plates and incubate at 37°C for 12 hours. Perform colony PCR identification.
[0042] Primer information is as follows: F2: gtaaaacgacggccagt; SEQ ID NO.7.

[0048] Example 3: Genetic transformation of tobacco (1) Preparation of Agrobacterium Add 1 µL of plasmid to 50 µL of GV3101 Agrobacterium competent cells (refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific methods). Transform and plate onto LB agar plates containing 50 µg / mL kanamycin resistance, incubate at 28 ℃ for 48 h, and perform colony PCR identification. The amplification primers, reaction system, and reaction procedure are the same as above. Detect the PCR products by gel electrophoresis. If the electrophoretic bands of the positive control (using the correctly sequenced plasmid as a template) and the sample are clear and of the correct size, and the negative control (using water as a template) shows no band, it indicates that the sample can proceed to the next step and can be used to infect tobacco.
[0049] Single colonies were selected and cultured in liquid LB medium containing 25 µg / mL rifampicin and 100 µg / mL kanamycin (Km), and incubated at 28°C for 24 h. The culture was then centrifuged at 4000 r / min for 10 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the culture was resuspended in a humidifying buffer (containing 10 mM MgCl2, pH=5.2, 10 mM 2-(N-morpholine)ethanesulfonic acid (MES), and 0.1 mM acetylsylphenone), and incubated at room temperature for at least 3 h until OD500 reached. 600 The value is approximately 0.6, which is used as a disinfectant.
[0050] (2) Genetic transformation of tobacco Plump and uniform "Xiangyan No. 7" tobacco seeds were disinfected with 10% sodium hypochlorite solution for 15 min, rinsed 5 times with sterile water, and slightly dried with sterile absorbent paper. Four seeds per bottle were sown on MS medium containing 30 g / L sucrose and 8 g / L agar (pH=5.8). The incubator was placed at 25℃ under constant light and temperature conditions of 1600 lx light intensity and a photoperiod of 16 h (light) / 8 h (dark) for 45 days. After the sterile seedlings had developed 4 leaves, they were cut into small pieces of approximately 5 mm x 5 mm, and the veins were removed. After pre-culturing on MS medium containing 2 mg / L 6-BA and 0.2 mg / L IAA for 2 days, the explants were soaked in Agrobacterium infection solution. The infected explants were then cultured in the dark on MS medium containing 2 mg / L 6-BA and 0.2 mg / L IAA for 2 days. After co-culturing, 50 mg / L kanamycin and 500 mg / L carbenicillin were added to the culture medium for selection to induce the production of resistant callus. The culture conditions were the same as above, and subcultures were performed every 14 days. When the resistant shoots on the callus grew to 2 cm, the shoots were transferred to rooting medium (MS + 50 mg / L kanamycin + 500 mg / L carbenicillin + 0.2 mg / L IAA). Rooting occurred in about 7 days. When the seedlings grew to about 6 cm, the mouths of the culture bottles were opened for hardening off for 2 days. Then, the seedlings were transplanted into tobacco-specific substrate (Hunan Tianliang Agricultural Technology Development Co., Ltd.) that had been sterilized at high temperature, covered with plastic film to retain moisture, and cultured under light at 25-27℃.
[0051] Example 4: Sequencing Analysis of Positive Seedlings Genomic DNA was extracted from the leaves of positive seedlings using the FastPure® Plant DNA Isolation Mini Kit (catalog number: DC104-01) from Nanjing Novizan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Detailed instructions were provided in the product manual. The knockout material was amplified by PCR using PrimeSTAR Max DNAPolymerase, a high-fidelity enzyme from Bio-Tech (Beijing) Co., Ltd.
[0052] Primer sequence information is as follows: NtGLK1-crispr-F1: CCGTTAGCTCATGCAAGTATC; SEQ ID NO.9.
[0053] NtGLK1-crispr-R1: CTCTTTGATGGTGTGAATGCC; SEQ ID NO. 10.
[0054] PCR amplification system: PrimeSTAR Max Premix (2X) 25 μL; upstream primer (10 µM) 1 μL; downstream primer (10 µM) 1 μL; template DNA 3 μL; ddH2O 20 μL; Total 50 μL.
[0055] PCR reaction program: 98℃ for 3 min; 98℃ for 10 sec, 55℃ for 15 sec, 72℃ for 60 sec, 36 cycles; 72℃ for 5 min.
[0056] The target fragment was 503 bp in length. The obtained PCR products were sequenced, and the sequencing peaks and sequence alignment were analyzed using SnapGene Viewer and DNAMAN, respectively.
[0057] NtGLK1 Screening results of homozygous knockout lines: Sequencing analysis of 15 positive seedlings revealed two successfully edited lines, glk1-3 (KO#3) and glk1-12 (KO#12). Furthermore, both KO#3 and KO#12 showed a single base insertion at target site 2, with clean single peaks near the target site, indicating that these two lines are homozygous mutants. Figure 3 Protein sequence alignment revealed that in the KO#3 and KO#12 strains... NtGLK1 Premature termination of protein translation ( Figure 4 This indicates that in these two strains NtGLK1 Gene function is disrupted.
[0058] Example 5: Identification of Low Temperature Tolerance in Knockout Lines Seeds from transgenic pure-line plants and wild-type plants with plump and uniform grain size were selected, sterilized, and then subjected to low-temperature treatment at 4 ℃ for 48 h. They were then sown in small square boxes pre-filled with tobacco-specific organic matter and fully absorbent, covered to maintain warmth and humidity, and incubated in a greenhouse (temperature 25℃, humidity 75%, 16 h light, 8 h darkness) for germination. Two weeks after sowing, seedlings with uniform growth were selected and placed in a 4 ℃ incubator for low-temperature treatment. Phenotypic observation and photographic recording were conducted. The 25 ℃ treatment served as the control (CK).
[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, after 7 days of low-temperature treatment, the two knockout lines KO#3 and KO#12 exhibited complete plant death and wilting, while the WT plants showed partial leaf wilting but the plants as a whole remained alive. This result indicates that the cold tolerance of the KO#3 and KO#12 lines was significantly reduced compared to the WT lines.
[0060] On day 7, the third leaf (counting from the top down) was taken as a plant sample for physiological and biochemical analysis, with five biological replicates for each treatment. After sampling, the samples were quickly wrapped in aluminum foil and placed in liquid nitrogen for storage at -80°C.
[0061] Example 6: Determination of physiological and biochemical indicators of knockout strains Malondialdehyde (MDA) content was determined using a plant-based MDA test kit (Nanjing Jiancheng, catalog number: A003-3-1); specific method: refer to the kit instructions. Relative conductivity: 0.2 g of fresh tissue leaf was taken from the fourth true leaf of the seedling (counting from the top leaf downwards) using a round punch, placed in a centrifuge tube containing 25 ml of ddH2O, and treated on a shaker at 37 ℃ for 24 h. The conductivity value L1 of the first extravasation was measured. The EP tube was then placed in an autoclave at 120 ℃ for 15 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, the conductivity value L2 of the second extravasation was measured. The relative conductivity EL was calculated as EL = L1 / L2. 100%.
[0062] Physiological and biochemical results showed that, under control conditions, the MDA content and relative conductivity of the knockout lines KO#3 and KO#12 were not significantly different from those of the WT line. However, after low-temperature stress treatment, the MDA content and relative conductivity of the knockout lines were significantly higher than those of the WT line. Figure 6 ).
[0063] Photosynthetic parameters were measured in eight biological replicates for each treatment. Chlorophyll fluorescence kinetics were primarily determined using a portable modulated chlorophyll fluorometer (PAM-2500, Germany). The procedure was as follows: the leaf was clamped with a dark-adaptation leaf clip, a metal plate was inserted, and the sample was dark-adapted for 30 min. Then, an optical fiber was inserted into the dark-adaptation clip, the metal plate was pulled out, and the data were immediately measured and recorded. Detailed data analysis of the fluorescence kinetics curves was based on Yusuf et al., 2010.
[0064] Under normal growth conditions, there were no significant differences in OJIP curves and Fv / Fm values between the WT and knockout lines. After low-temperature treatment, the OJIP curves and Fv / Fm values of the knockout lines were lower than those of the WT lines. Figure 7 ).
