[0002] Tiger nuts (scientific name: Cyperus esculentus Tigernut (Symplocos rubrum) belongs to the genus Cyperus in the family Cyperaceae of the order Poales. It is a newly emerging herbaceous oilseed crop originating in Africa and the Mediterranean coast. Compared to traditional oilseed crops that accumulate oil in their seeds, tigernut is the only known crop to date that accumulates oil at a high level (24%-35%) in its tubers. Discovering and identifying key genes involved in tuber oil accumulation can not only lay the foundation for the genetic improvement of tigernut, but also provide theoretical support and excellent genetic resources for the efficient production of oil from nutrient tissues such as roots, tubers, and leaves.
[0003] Lipid synthesis and accumulation are controlled by a multi-gene regulatory network, in which transcription factors play a key role, such as AP2 / EREBP, B3, NF-Y, MYB, WRKY, DOF, and bZIP. ABI3 belongs to the B3 transcription factor superfamily and was first identified in maize by McCarty et al. VP1 Subsequently, researchers identified homologous genes from Arabidopsis thaliana, rice, and maize. ABI3 / VP1 The ABI3 protein has four domains: an acidic N-terminal domain A and three basic domains B1, B2, and B3, which are conserved in different plants. Domain A is an acidic transcription activator; domain B1 interacts with the bZIP family-specific transcription factor ABI5; domain B2 binds to ABA response elements or G-box elements (CACGTG), thereby participating in abscisic acid response or nuclear localization; and domain B3 is the most conserved domain in the ABI3 protein, capable of binding to various conserved cis-elements in seed-specific gene promoter regions. Transcription factors involved in lipid regulation have been cloned and identified in tiger nuts; for example, Chinese patent CN118531058A reports a tiger nut...

[0017] To further illustrate the present invention, the solutions provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but these should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. The method for constructing the expression vector described in this invention has no special requirements and can be constructed using methods known in the art.
[0018] In this invention, the primers used are shown in Table 1.
[0019] Table 1 Primer Information
[0020] The present invention CeABI3B
[0021] The present invention CeABI3B The amino acid sequence of the CeABI3B protein encoded by the gene is shown in SEQ ID NO.2, and the specific sequence information is as follows: *
[0022] Example 1 CeABI3B Gene cloning and sequence analysis (1) Using tubers of Tiger Pea No. 3 at different developmental stages as material, total RNA was extracted using the Tiangen Plant Polysaccharide Polyphenol RNA Extraction Kit (catalog number DP441): (2) The total RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using the Takara PrimeScript™ RT reagent Kit with gDNA Eraser, which was then used as a template for PCR amplification. (3) Based on the full-length cDNA obtained from the transcriptome, primer pairs CeABI3BF1 (SEQ ID NO.3) and CeABI3BR1 (SEQ ID NO.4) were designed using Primer Premier 5.0 as shown in Table 1. (4) After optimizing the PCR conditions according to the Tm values of the primers, PCR amplification was performed using CeABI3BF1 (SEQ ID NO.3) and CeABI3BR1 (SEQ ID NO.4) as primers and the cDNA obtained by reverse transcription as a template. The first round of PCR amplification reaction system is shown in Table 2. The PCR reaction program is as follows: 98℃ for 3 min; 98℃ for 30 sec, 60℃ for 30 sec, 72℃ for 80 sec (35 cycles); 72℃ for 5 min; and stored at 4℃. Table 2 First-round PCR amplification reaction system
[0023] (5) PCR amplification yielded a specific band of approximately 1700 bp. Figure 1 A) was recovered from the gel using the OMEGA gel recovery kit and cloned into the pMD19-T cloning vector from Takara. The sequence was determined after blue-white screening and colony PCR verification. (6) Sequence analysis showed that, CeABI3B The coding region (CDS) is 1707 bp in length, with a GC content of 45.65%, and is predicted to encode 568 amino acids. Its theoretical molecular weight is 63.77 kDa, isoelectric point (pI) is 8.58, total average hydrophobicity index (GRAVY) is -0.572, instability coefficient (II) is 54.45, and aliphatic index (AI) is 70.76. (7) BLASTN alignment using the NCBI GenBank database did not reveal any similar sequences. Figure 2 This confirms that it is a new gene; (8) CDD analysis (https: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / Structure / cdd / wrpsb.cgi?) and sequence alignment with AtWRI1 showed that CeABI3B contains a conserved B3 domain. Figure 3 The A in the text possesses the transcriptional activation domain (TAD) characteristic unique to the ABI3 family. Figure 3 (B in the middle) (9) To further reveal the evolutionary characteristics of CeABI3B, a phylogenetic tree was constructed using MEGA6 (https: / / www.megasoftware.net / ) with ABI3 proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtABI3), rice (OsABI3), maize (ZmABI3), sunflower (HaABI3), cotton (GhABI3), and peanut (AhABI3). Figure 3 As shown in C, these proteins clearly cluster into three groups, with CeABI3 clustering together with ZmABI3, OsABI3, AtABI3, HaABI3, GhABI3, and AhABI3.
[0024] Example 2: Subcellular localization analysis of CeABI3B protein (1) WoLF PSORT (https: / / www.genscript.com / wolf-psort.html) analysis showed that CeABI3B protein may be located in the cell nucleus.
[0025] (2) To confirm the above prediction results, primer pairs CeABI3BF2 (SEQ ID NO.5) and CeABI3BR2 (SEQ ID NO.6) were designed near the start and stop codons of the sequencing gene, as shown in Table 1.
[0026] (3) Using the PCR product diluted 100-fold in Example 1 as a template, and CeABI3BF2 (SEQ ID NO. 5) and CeABI3BR2 (SEQ ID NO. 6) as primers, PCR amplification was performed. The reaction system for the second round of PCR amplification is shown in Table 3. The PCR reaction program was: 98℃ for 3 min; 98℃ for 30 sec, 60℃ for 30 sec, 72℃ for 60 sec (35 cycles); 72℃ for 5 min; and stored at 4℃. Finally, a clear band of approximately 1700 bp was obtained. Figure 1 After gel extraction and recovery, the B in the sample was cloned into pNC-Cam1304-SubN using an NC kit (purchased from Hainan Nixing Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) to construct the fusion expression vector pNC-Cam1304-CeABI3B with EGFP. The NC ligation system is shown in Table 4.

[0029] (4) Transform the recombinant plasmid pNC-Cam1304-CeABI3B into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101 (containing pSoup-P19), the specific steps are as follows: (4-1) Add 1 μg of empty vector plasmid pNC-Cam1304-SubN and 1 μg of recombinant plasmid pNC-Cam1304-CeABI3B to 100 μL of competent cells GV3101 and mix them by pipetting. (4-2) Ice bath for 30 min, then quickly place in liquid nitrogen for 1 min, and then heat shock in a water bath at 37℃ for 5 min; (4-3) Add 950 μL of antibiotic-free liquid YEP medium and incubate at 28℃ and 200 rpm for 4 h with shaking. (4-4) Centrifuge at 10,000 rpm for 1 min to concentrate the bacterial culture, discard the supernatant and resuspend the bacterial cells in 100 μL of antibiotic-free liquid YEP medium; (4-5) Spread the bacterial cells on solid YEP medium supplemented with 50 mg / L kanamycin and 100 mg / L rifampin, and incubate at 28°C for 2-3 days; (4-6) Select single clones for colony PCR detection and screen positive clones for subsequent genetic transformation experiments.
[0030] (5) The micro-injection method was used to transform 4-week-old tobacco leaves. The specific steps are as follows: (5-1) Inoculate the above-mentioned positive bacteria into 2 mL of LB liquid medium (50 mg / L rifampin) and incubate overnight at 28°C and 210 rpm; (5-2) Take 1 mL of bacterial culture and add it to 30 mL of LB liquid medium. Incubate at 28°C and 210 rpm until the bacterial concentration reaches OD500. 600 It is 0.8; (5-3) Collect bacterial cells by centrifugation at 5000 rpm for 3 min, remove the supernatant, and add resuspension buffer (10 mmol / L MgCl2, 0.2 mmol / L acetylsalicylic acid and 10 mmol / L MES, adjust pH to 5.6 using KOH) to resuspend the bacterial cells. Repeat twice, adjusting the concentration of the resuspension to OD. 600 It is 0.6; (5-4) After resuspending the bacterial solution, incubate it at 28°C for 3-5 hours. Then, inject it into the lower epidermis of the tobacco plant using a 1mL syringe with the needle removed (one gene is injected into multiple leaves of one tobacco plant). You can use the needle to slightly puncture the lower epidermis of the leaf before injection. (5-5) After the tobacco leaves were cultured in the dark for 2-4 days after injection, the injected tobacco leaves were taken to prepare slides for fluorescence observation. (6) Laser confocal microscopy showed that the green fluorescence signal in the experimental group highly overlapped with the red fluorescence signal labeled in the cell nucleus, indicating that CeABI3B plays a role in the cell nucleus. Figure 4 ).
[0031] Example 3: Identification of the transcriptional activation function of CeABI3B protein (1) To identify the transcriptional activation function and the location of the activation domain of CeABI3B protein, primers as shown in Table 1 were designed near the B3 domain. (2) Using the PCR product diluted 100 times in Example 1 as a template, CeABI3BF2 (SEQ ID NO.5) and CeABI3BR2 (SEQ ID NO.6) were used as primers to amplify the full length of the coding region of CeABI3B (SEQ ID NO.1). After the PCR amplification was completed, the gel was excised and the product was cloned into pNC-GBKT7 using the NC kit to construct the yeast two-hybrid bait vector pNC-GBKT7-CeABI3BF; Using the PCR product diluted 100-fold in Example 1 as a template, the N1 end (i.e., the first 1-1365 bp of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1, upstream of the B3 domain) was amplified using CeABI3BF2 (SEQ ID NO.5) and CeABI3BR3 (SEQ ID NO.8) as primers. After PCR amplification, the gel was excised and the product was cloned into pNC-GBKT7 using the NC kit to construct the yeast two-hybrid bait vector pNC-GBKT7-CeABI3BN1. Using the PCR product diluted 100-fold in Example 1 as a template, the N2 end (i.e., the 1st to 427th bp of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1, containing the transcription activation domain) was amplified using CeABI3BF2 (SEQ ID NO.5) and CeABI3BR4 (SEQ ID NO.10) as primers, respectively. After PCR amplification, the gel was excised and the product was cloned into pNC-GBKT7 using the NC kit to construct the yeast two-hybrid bait vector pNC-GBKT7-CeABI3BN2. Using the PCR product diluted 100-fold in Example 1 as a template, the TAD end (i.e., the 45-427 bp of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1, containing the transcription activation domain) was amplified using CeABI3BF4 (SEQ ID NO.9) and CeABI3BR3 (SEQ ID NO.8) as primers, respectively. After PCR amplification, the product was excised from the gel and cloned into pNC-GBKT7 using the NC kit to construct the yeast two-hybrid bait vector pNC-GBKT7-CeABI3BTAD. Using the PCR product diluted 100-fold in Example 1 as a template, the C-terminus (i.e., the 1366-1707 bp of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1, downstream of the B3 domain) of CeABI3BF3 (SEQ ID NO.7) and CeABI3BR2 (SEQ ID NO.6) were amplified respectively. After PCR amplification, the gel was excised and the product was cloned into pNC-GBKT7 using the NC kit to construct the yeast two-hybrid bait vector pNC-GBKT7-CeABI3BC. The PCR amplification reaction system, reaction procedure, and NC ligation system described above are the same as those in Example 2. (3) The empty vector (pNC-GBKT7) and 5 recombinant plasmids were transferred into Y2HGold yeast cells. The transformed yeast cells were then selected on tryptophan-deficient medium (purchased from Beijing Coolabor Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). Positive bacteria were selected and screened on tryptophan and histidine-deficient medium (purchased from Beijing Coolabor Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). Subsequently, the positive bacteria were subjected to X-α-gal colorimetric reaction. (4) The results showed that the engineered bacteria transformed with pNC-GBKT7-CeABI3BF, pNC-GBKT7-CeABI3BN1, pNC-GBKT7-CeABI3BN2, and pNC-GBKT7-CeABI3BTAD could survive on tryptophan- and histidine-deficient media and showed a blue color, while yeast cells transformed with empty vector and pNC-GBKT7-CeABI3BC failed to show β-galactosidase activity. This indicates that the CeABI3B protein has transcriptional activation function, and its activation domain is located upstream of the B3 domain, i.e., positions 15-142 of the protein, corresponding to positions 45-426 of the nucleotide sequence (…). Figure 5 ).
[0032] Example 4 CeABI3B Identification of gene regulation of lipids in tobacco (1) For identification CeABI3B The function of the gene in the regulation of plant oil was investigated by using the PCR product diluted 100 times in Example 1 as a template and CeABI3BF5 (SEQ ID NO.11) and CeABI3BR5 (SEQ ID NO.12) as primers for PCR amplification. After the target fragment was excised and recovered from the gel, it was cloned into the plant overexpression vector pCAMBIA1301 using homologous recombination to construct the recombinant vector pCAMBIA1301-CeABI3B. (2) The recombinant vector pCAMBIA1301-CeABI3B and the empty vector pCAMBIA1301 were transformed into Agrobacterium strain GV3101 (containing pSoup-P19), and the above-mentioned Agrobacterium engineered strain containing the empty vector and the plant overexpression vector pCAMBIA1301-CeABI3B was transformed into 4-week-old tobacco leaves by micro-injection. Samples were collected 1 day, 3 days and 5 days after transformation for oil content determination. (3) Oil content determination results based on Agilent 7890A (HP-FFAP, 30m×0.25mm ID, 0.25μm, Santa Clara, CA, USA) showed that, compared with the control group transformed with empty vector, the TAG content in the experimental group increased by 2.0 times, 2.5 times, and 3.5 times after 1 day, 3 days, and 5 days of transformation, respectively. Figure 6 ).
[0033] Example 5 CeABI3B Application of genes in the regulation of lipids in Arabidopsis seeds and vegetative tissues (1) For evaluation CeABI3B To explore the potential of genes in regulating plant lipids, the empty vector and the plant overexpression vector pCAMBIA1301-CeABI3B constructed in Example 4 were transformed into Agrobacterium strain GV3101 (containing pSoup-P19), and wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana was transformed using the inflorescence immersion method. The specific steps are as follows: (1-1) Positive bacteria were cultured overnight in LB liquid containing 50 mg / L kanamycin and 100 mg / L rifampin until OD reached. 600 The bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 5 minutes with a concentration of 0.6. (1-2) Resuspend in staining buffer (1 / 2 MS solution containing 5% sucrose and 0.02% Silwet-77) and adjust to OD. 600 It is 0.8; (1-3) Place the Arabidopsis thaliana upside down in the infusion solution and soak for half a minute. Try to avoid getting the leaves in the infusion solution. You can use a pipette to draw the solution and then drip it onto the inflorescence. (1-4) After the inoculation is completed, spray a small amount of water and cover the inflorescence with a black plastic bag for dark culture. After 1 day, remove the plastic bag and culture normally. (1-5) To improve the efficiency of the infiltration, the infiltration can be repeated once or twice (once a week), and the seeds can be harvested under the same conditions.
[0034] (1-6) T1 seeds were screened for resistance on MS solid plate medium containing 30 µg / mL hygromycin to obtain T2 generation positive transgenic plants. After they matured, they were screened for resistance again to obtain stable T3 generation positive transgenic plants.
[0035] (2) To analyze the effect of gene overexpression on seed oil regulation, oil content was measured in T3 generation transgenic Arabidopsis seeds. The results showed that, compared with the control group (WT) containing the empty vector, CeABI3B The accumulation of TAG in overexpressed seeds was significantly increased, by approximately 20.8%. Figure 7 (A in the middle) (3) For evaluation CeABI3B To investigate the application value of oil regulation in plant vegetative tissues, leaves of the aforementioned T3 generation transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana were collected for oil content determination. The results showed that, compared with the control group (WT) containing empty vector, oil content was significantly higher. CeABI3B The TAG content in the overexpressing leaves increased by 2.47 times. Figure 7 (B in the middle).
[0036] (4) The above results indicate that, CeABI3B It has the function of promoting oil accumulation and shows its application prospect in increasing the oil content of seeds and nutrient tissues.
