Description

[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and specifically relates to a method for gene expression by transient transformation of a Zizania latifolia seed using Agrobacterium. BACKGROUND

[0002] Zizania latifolia seed as the caryopsis of Zizania latifolia (Griseb.) Turcz. ex Stapf is a specialty crop with a long history. The Zizania latifolia seed is an important cereal with the homology of medicine and food. In the Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" in Ming Dynasty and other works, there are records of assistance in the treatment of diabetes mellitus and gastrointestinal diseases using the Zizania latifolia seed. In recent years, the research on nutritional components of Zizania has mainly focused on its seeds, namely the Zizania latifolia seeds. Zizania latifolia seed is not only rich in nutrients such as proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, but also contains biologically-active substances such as resistant starch, dietary fiber, phytosterols, anthocyanins, and proanthocyanidins. Compared with rice, the Zizania latifolia seed is a high-protein and low-fat health food, and shows a biological activity and health care effects that have been widely concerned by East Asian scientists from China and South Korea. The proven biological activities and health care values of Zizania latifolia seed include antioxidant activity, improvement of insulin resistance and lipotoxicity, as well as prevention of cardiovascular diseases. However, Zizania latifolia also demonstrates some inherent limitations such as easy shattering of Zizania latifolia seed, excessive plant height, unfocused flowering period, and low seed setting rate, making it unsuitable for large-scale production applications.

[0003] Transient expression refers to a technology that introduces a target gene into recipient cells to establish a temporary high-efficiency expression system, thereby allowing large amounts of target genes to be expressed in a relatively short period of time. Transient expression does not require the integration of exogenous genes into the chromosomes of cells, does not require selection, and does not produce offspring that can be stably inherited. Therefore, compared with stable expression, the transient expression shows simplicity, rapidity, short cycle, high efficiency, and strong biological safety. The inventors and their team take advantages of the transient expression to establish a transient transformation system for the Zizania latifolia seed. This system can not only improve transformation efficiency of the Zizania latifolia seed, but also lay a technical foundation for better subsequent research on functional genes in the Zizania latifolia seed. 23 06 25

[0004] The inventor's team established a method for plant regeneration from Zizania latifolia callus (first Chinese patent application CN112753580A). The explants (Zizania latifolia seeds) used are easy to obtain, and the preserved Zizania latifolia seeds can be used at any time without seasonal restrictions. By using a modified basic medium and optimized culture conditions, robust regenerated plants can be obtained in just 3 months. Subsequently, during the research on functional genes of Zizania latifolia, a method for establishing a genetic transformation system of Zizania latifolia seed was proposed (the second Chinese patent application CN113637701 A). Based on the first Chinese patent application of Zizania latifolia, a regeneration efficiency of Zizania latifolia callus has been greatly improved by optimizing the culture conditions and culture methods of Zizania latifolia embryogenic callus and optimizing the medium for callus regeneration. This process provides high-quality embryogenic callus receptor materials for Agrobacterium infection and then lays a solid foundation for transformation. In addition, the treatment methods and culture conditions during the transformation are explored and optimized through experiments to obtain transformed positive strains, thus successfully establishing a stable Hgro&zctera / m-mediated genetic transformation system for the Zizania latifolia. However, the method for establishing a genetic transformation system of Zizania latifolia seed has low genetic transformation efficiency on the Zizania latifolia seed. Based on this, the present disclosure is proposed. SUMMARY

[0035] In order to further understand the present disclosure, the present disclosure will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0036] The equipment and reagents used in the examples are all commercially available, unless otherwise specified.

[0037] The biological material Zizania latifolia seed used in the examples is collected from Baimahu Village, Jinhu County, Huaian City, Jiangsu Province.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] This example provided a method for gene expression by transient transformation of ^Zizania latifolia seed using Agrobacterium, including the following steps:

[0040] Sterilization of explants:

[0041] The husks of Zizania latifolia seeds were removed, and seeds that were clean and plump, consistent in size, smooth on the surface, and free of mold and spots were selected (FIG. 1A). The seeds were cleaned on the surface with 75% alcohol and then immersed in 75% ethanol for 30 s to 60 s, rinsed 2 times with sterile water and a waste liquid was discarded. The seeds were immersed in 20% sodium hypochlorite for 20 min, during which the seeds were placed in a rotary oscillator at 130 rpm to fully contact the seeds with the disinfectant. The waste liquid after immersing was discarded, and the seeds were washed with sterile water 5 to 7 times, and then sterilized water was added to allow shaking in the rotary oscillator at 130 rpm for 3 h. The seeds were washed with sterile water 3 to 5 times until a washing solution was clear, and then immersed in the sterile water overnight.

[0042] Induction culture:

[0043] An embryo of the sterilized Zizania latifolia seed was cut under a microscope with a scalpel, and then inoculated into an induction medium MS containing 2 mg / L 2,4-D and at pH=5.7 (FIG. IB), and the induction culture of the callus was conducted at 28°C±2°C for 4 to 5 weeks in the dark to obtain an embryogenic callus (FIG. IC).

[0044] Subculture:

[0045] The subculture included: sprouts and vitrified callus were removed from resulting young embryos, an embryogenic callus with a light yellow appearance and a dense structure was selected to allow the subculture on the induction medium in the dark at 28°C±2°C. A resulting subcultured 23 06 25 embryogenic callus with a dense structure was selected to allow pre-culture in the dark for 7 d to 9 d before the Agrobacterium co-culture (FIG. ID).

[0046] Obtaining a positive Agrobacterium strain:

[0047] A 1305Ubi-Ubi-GFP-H plasmid (FIG. 2) was transformed into EHA105 Agrobacterium strain, and then single clones were selected to allow PCR and electrophoresis detection to obtain the positive Agrobacterium strain.

[0048] Preparation of a positive Agrobacterium bacteria solution:

[0049] The positive single clone colonies were transferred into a YEB liquid medium (including 1 g / L yeast extract, 5 g / L peptone, 5 g / L beef extract, and 0.493 g / L MgSCU 7H2O, pH=7.0) containing 50 mg / mL kanamycin and 50 mg / mL rifampicin, and then cultured overnight in a shaker (28°C, 200 rpm). A resulting shaken bacterial solution was centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 5 min at room temperature, a supernatant was discarded, and bacterial cells were collected. The bacterial cells were resuspended using an infection buffer, where each liter of the infection buffer specifically included 4 g of trace element-containing N6, 1 mL of 200 pM / mL acetosyringone, 200 pL of 10 mg / mL 2,4-D, 1 g of casein hydrolysate, 30 g of sucrose, 0.1 g of inositol, and 10 g of glucose. The bacterial solution after resuspension had an OD value of 0.2 at a wavelength of 600 nm to obtain an infection bacterial solution, which was allowed to stand at room temperature for 0.5 h to 1 h.

[0050] Infection with the positive Agrobacterium bacterial solution:

[0051] The callus in well conditions and vigorously dividing after 7 d to 9 d of pre-culture was collected into a 50 mL sterile centrifuge tube with a small spoon, and then infected with the infection bacterial solution for 20 min under shaking gently.

[0052] Co-culture of callus:

[0053] The infection bacterial solution was discarded, and a resulting infected callus was poured into a 90 mm><25 mm disposable petri dish added with one piece of filter paper and two pieces of absorbent paper. The residual bacterial solution was drained on the surface of the callus by gently shaking the petri dish, and the small particles of callus were inoculated into the co-culture medium for 3 d of coculture at 22°C±2°C in the dark.

[0054] Recovery culture and GFP observation of callus:

[0055] After the co-culture was completed, the co-cultured callus was evenly and sparsely transferred to a recovery medium to allow recovery culture in the dark at 28°C±2°C for 3 d; an infection status of a recovered callus was observed under a stereo fluorescence microscope, where the GFP gene serving as an exogenous target gene was successfully expressed in the callus of the Zizania latifolia seed if the recovered callus appeared green fluorescence under ultraviolet light; and a transient expression rate was calculated, where the transient expression rate of GFP was 84%.

[0056] Example 2 23 06 25

[0057] This example differed from Example 1 in that the co-culture time of bacterial solution and callus was 2 d.

[0058] Results: the callus after culture recovery was placed under a stereo fluorescence microscope to observe the infection status. Green fluorescence showed that the exogenous target gene was successfully expressed in the Zizania latifolia callus, and the transient expression rate of GFP was calculated to be 83%.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] This example differed from Example 1 in that the LB A4404 Agrobacterium strain was used.

[0061] Results: the callus after culture recovery was placed under a stereo fluorescence microscope to observe the infection status. Green fluorescence showed that the exogenous target gene was successfully expressed in the Zizania latifolia callus, and the transient expression rate of GFP was calculated to be 83%.

[0062] Example 4

[0063] This example differed from Example 1 in that the LB A4404 Agrobacterium strain was used, and the co-culture time of bacterial solution and callus was 2 d.

[0064] Results: the callus after culture recovery was placed under a stereo fluorescence microscope to observe the infection status. Green fluorescence showed that the exogenous target gene was successfully expressed in the Zizania latifolia callus, and the transient expression rate of GFP was calculated to be 82%.

[0065] Example 5

[0066] This example differed from Example 1 in that the bacterial solution had an OD value of 0.02 at a wavelength of 600 nm, and the co-culture time of bacterial solution and callus was 4 d.

[0067] Results: the callus after culture recovery was placed under a stereo fluorescence microscope to observe the infection status. Green fluorescence showed that the exogenous target gene was successfully expressed in the Zizania latifolia callus, and the transient expression rate of GFP was calculated to be 82%.

[0068] Test Example 1

[0069] Test steps: EHA105-positive Agrobacterium bacterial solutions of different concentrations were prepared. The OD values of the bacterial solutions at a wavelength of 600 nm were: 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5. The callus separately infected with each concentration (OD value) of bacterial solution was co-cultured at three different co-culture times (2 d, 3 d, and 4 d). The results were shown in FIG. 3:

[0070] The effects of EHAI 05-positive bacterial solution concentrations (OD values 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5) and different co-culture times (2 d, 3 d, and 4 d) on the transient expression rate of callus were compared. The results showed that different bacterial solution infection 23 06 25 concentrations and different co-culture times showed significant differences. When being co-cultured for 2 d and 3 d, the transient expression rate of GFP showed an overall trend of increasing and then decreasing as the concentration of bacterial solution increased; after 4 d of co-culture, the overall transient expression rate of GFP showed a decreasing trend. After 3 d of co-culture, when the OD value of the bacterial solution at 600 nm wavelength was 0.2, the maximum transient expression rate of GFP was 84%; after 2 d of co-culture, when the OD value of the bacterial solution at 600 nm wavelength was 0.2, the maximum transient expression rate of GFP was 83%; after 4 d of co-culture, when the OD value of the bacterial solution at 600 nm wavelength was 0.02, the maximum transient expression rate of GFP was 82%.

[0071] When being co-cultured for 3 d to 4 d, the transient expression rate of GFP also changed as the concentration of bacterial solution continued to increase. However, the transient expression rate of GFP basically exceeded 60%, indicating that there was a relatively high transient expression rate.

[0072] Test Example 2

[0073] The recovered callus separately obtained after co-culture for 2 d, 3 d, and 4 d were placed under a stereo fluorescence microscope to observe the infection status, as shown in FIG. 4. By observing the callus after co-culture for 2 d (FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B), 3 d (FIG. 4C and FIG. 4D), and 4 d (FIG. 4E and FIG. 4F) under a stereo fluorescence microscope, it was found that there were significant differences in fluorescence expression level for different days of co-culture. The callus obtained after co-culture for 2 d had almost no GFP spots; while as the number of co-culture days increased, the number of GFP spots gradually increased after 3 d and 4 d of co-culture, and there was obvious green fluorescence.
