Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of plant genetic engineering technology, specifically involving GmCML27 Application of genes and biomaterials containing them in regulating soybean alkali tolerance. Background Technology

[0002] Soybeans Glycine max Soybean is an important oilseed and food crop globally, but its growth and development are often limited by soil alkaline stress (such as NaHCO3). Alkaline soils increase rhizosphere pH, damage root structure and function, inhibit nutrient absorption, and induce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to leaf chlorosis, wilting, and even death. Therefore, identifying key genes for soybean alkali tolerance and analyzing their regulatory networks is of great significance for breeding alkali-tolerant soybean varieties.

[0003] In recent years, using forward and reverse genetics methods, some genes involved in the regulation of alkali tolerance in soybeans have been identified, such as... GmCHX1, GmSALT3, GmNAC While these genes are not explicitly mentioned, they primarily involve ion transport and transcriptional regulation. Calcium ions (Ca²⁺) serve as the second messenger in plant stress signal transduction, and their downstream calcium-binding proteins (such as calmodulin CaM, calmodulin-like protein CML, and calcium-dependent protein kinase CDPK) play crucial roles in sensing and transmitting stress signals. Among them, members of the CML (Calmodulin-like) family, possessing an EF-hand domain, can bind Ca²⁺ and undergo conformational changes, thereby regulating target protein activity. Existing studies have shown that some CML genes (such as AtCML9 and OsCML4) are involved in plant responses to drought and salt stress, but their function in alkali stress remains unclear, especially regarding whether CML genes in soybean regulate alkali tolerance, which still lacks direct evidence. Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field to identify key genes that can effectively improve soybean alkali tolerance and clarify their application pathways. Summary of the Invention

[0040] Example 4: GmCML27 Functional verification of gene regulation of soybean alkali tolerance I. Alkali Stress Treatment The soybean plants tested included: WT, GmCML27 -OE-1、 GmCML27 -OE-2、 GmCML27 -CR-1、 GmCML27 -CR-2. Select seedlings of uniform growth and irrigate their roots with a 200 mM NaHCO3 solution every 3 days for 10 consecutive days. Plants irrigated with plain water served as a control. Observe and photograph the plant phenotypes before and after treatment.

[0041] The results show that ( Figure 2 Before alkali treatment (A), there were no significant differences in the growth status of the different strains. After alkali treatment, GmCML27 -OE plants retain green leaves and grow vigorously; WT plants show wilting and yellowing leaves. GmCML27 -CR plants are severely damaged, with leaves losing their green color, wilting, or even dying.

[0042] II. Measurement of Physiological Indicators Leaf samples were stained with diaminobenzidine (DAB) and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) to detect H2O2 and O2. - The accumulation of these substances was investigated. Simultaneously, root samples were taken from plants before and after alkali treatment, and the contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), proline (PRO), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined using appropriate kits.

[0043] DAB and NBT staining showed that ( Figure 2 (B~C) OE plant leaves stained the lightest, followed by WT, and CR plant leaves stained the darkest, indicating that OE plant leaves had the least ROS accumulation and the least oxidative damage.

Physiological index measurements showed that, compared with WT, OE plants exhibited significantly increased SOD, POD, and CAT activities, significantly increased proline content, and significantly decreased MDA content under alkaline treatment; CR plants showed the opposite trend. Figure 2 (E~I). The above results indicate that overexpression GmCML27 It can enhance the antioxidant capacity of soybeans, reduce oxidative damage induced by alkali stress, and thus improve alkali tolerance.

[0044] III. Root System Scan Analysis The root systems of each plant line were scanned and analyzed using a root analysis system before and after alkali treatment. Morphological parameters such as total root length, root volume, number of root tips, number of branches, number of nodes, and number of connections were measured, and root activity was also determined. Figure 3 (A~H).

[0045] The results showed that under normal growth conditions, the root system of OE plants was more developed than that of WT plants, with significantly higher total root length, root volume, number of root tips, and number of branches. In contrast, the root system of CR plants was significantly smaller than that of WT plants. After alkali treatment, OE plants maintained high root activity, with only a smaller decrease in root morphology indicators; however, the root activity of CR plants decreased significantly, and root growth was inhibited. GmCML27 It can positively regulate root development, laying a good foundation for the plant's vegetative growth in response to alkaline stress.
