Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention is in the field of biotechnology and plant breeding, and specifically relates to a method for controlling genetically induced haploids using plant cell proliferation and its application in plant breeding. [Background technology]

[0002] Compared with traditional breeding methods, haploid induction technology can obtain homozygous varieties in two generations, not only shortening the breeding period but also saving unnecessary labor costs. There are mainly two sources of haploids: one is from spontaneous formation in nature, and the other is obtained by artificial induction. Among these, the routes of spontaneous haploid formation in nature are mainly female parthenogenesis, male parthenogenesis and asexual reproduction, but the occurrence frequency of these three routes is very low (Zhang Zheng, 2007. Overview of research on haploid breeding of agricultural crops. Shandong Agricultural Science, 5: 122-125. DOI: 10.14083 / j.issn.1001-4942. 2007.05.025; Cui Ting, Li Yali, Qiao Linyi, Guo Huijuan, Dong Yanhui, Ren Yongkang and Tang Chaohui, 2016. Methods for haploid breeding of wheat and its research progress. Shanxi Agricultural Science, 44(1): 106-109. DOI: 10.3969 / j.issn.1002-2481. 2016.01.28.), which cannot meet the demand for breeding. Breeders usually incorporate artificially induced haploid methods to aid in breeding.

[0003] There are many methods to induce haploidy using artificial techniques, and the induction rate has been significantly improved compared to the frequency of natural occurrence. Among them, the methods to induce female parthenogenesis include radiation induction, chemical induction, heterologous pollen stimulation, and induction using male parthenogenesis induction lines (Ai Zhiguo, Haiyan, Kang Minghui, and Zhao Yongying, 2011. The pathway of haploid production and its application in crop genetic breeding. Henan Agricultural Science, 40(11):17-21. DOI:10.15933 / j.cnki.1004-3268.2011.11.009). Methods for inducing female parthenogenesis include pollen exosporium culture, anthium exosporium culture and hymenium induction (Li Ying, Wang Jia, Ji Lexiang, Li Hao, Ye Meixia, Guo Bin, Chen Zhong, An Xinmin, 2011. Advances in research on plant haploid technology and applications. Chinese Journal of Cell Biology, 33(9):1008-1014.). The method for inducing sporophyte reproduction is called female in vitro culture, which involves culturing non-pollinating organs such as ovaries and ovules outside the body to form new diploid plants. Haploid induction technology has been applied to the breeding of many crops, including rice, wheat, corn, cotton, barley, tobacco, and rapeseed, and its development in corn is the most mature, with the creation of a series of high-frequency induction systems such as WS14, EMK, NTU Gao Yi No. 1, and Ji Gao Yi No. 3. The induction rate of No. 1 of the National University of Agriculture and Technology's High Induction Line is 4%-6%, and that of No. 3 of the Yoshitaka Induction Line is 10%. The application of these induction systems has greatly accelerated the maize breeding process. (Cai Zhuo, Xu Guoliang, Liu Xianghui, Dong Yalin, Dai Yuxian, Li Shuhua, 2007. Selection and breeding of the high-frequency haploid reproductive induction system of maize, the Yoshitaka Induction Line No. 3. Maize Science, 15(1):1-4. DOI:10.13597 / j.cnki.maize.science.2007.01.001.) In 2015, CONNER et al. (CONNER JA, MOOKKAN M, HUO H, CHAE K, OZIAS-AKINS P, 2015. A parthenogenesis gene of apomict origin elicits embryo formation from unfertilized eggs in a sexual plant. PNAS, 112(36): 11205-11210.DOI: 10.1073 / pnas.1505856112.) found that the PsASGR-BBML gene of Timothy grass is expressed in the ovaries before fertilization, developing seeds, roots, and anthers, and that the PsASGR-BBML transgene can be easily used to induce haploid embryos in Timothy grass, a sexually reproducing species. Subsequent work by CONNER et al. in 2017 (CONNER JA, PODIO M, OZIAS-AKINS P, 2017. Haploid embryo production in rice and maize induced by PsASGR-BBML transgenes. Plant Reprod, 30(1): 41-52.DOI: 10.1007 / s00497-017-0298-x.) found that the PsASGR-BBML transgene induced the production of monocotyledonous haploid embryos in two major monocotyledonous crops, maize and rice.In 2019, KHANDAY et al. (KHANDAY I, SKINNER D, YANG B, MERCIER R, SUNDARESAN V, 2019. A male-expressed rice embryogenic trigger redirected for asexual propagation through seeds. Nature, 565(7737): 91-95.DOI: 10.1038 / s41586-018-0785-8.) found that expression of BBM1 in rice starts in male gametes and activates expression of the female genome, which acts throughout embryo development, and that ectopic expression of OsBBM1 in oocytes using the AtDD45 promoter can induce solitary females, with induction rates of 5% to 10% and up to 29% in T2 generation transgenic materials. By combining ectopic expression of BBM1 in egg cells with the MiMe (osd1 / rec8 / spo11-1) system, i.e., substituting mitosis for meiosis in PGCs, we obtained clonal offspring that maintained the entire genome of the parent through parthenogenesis.

[0004] In 2017, KELLIHER et al. (KELLIHER T, STARR D, RICHBOURG L, CHINTAMANANI S, DELZER B, NUCCIO ML, GREEN J, CHEN ZY, MCCUISTON J, WANG WL,LIEBLER T, BULLOCK P, MARTIN B, 2017. MATRILINEAL, a sperm-specific phospholipase, triggers maize haploid induction. Nature, 542(7639): 105-109.DOI: 10.1038 / nature20827.) found that the MTL gene in maize is expressed in the sperm cytoplasm and that a transcoding mutation induces haploid production with an induction rate of 6.7%. In 2018, Yao et al. (YAO L, ZHANG Y, LIU CX, LIU YB, WANG YL, LIANG DW, LIU JT, SAHOO G, KELLIHER T, 2018. OsMATL mutation induces haploid seed formation in indica rice. Nature Plants,4(8): 530-533.DOI: 10.1038 / s41477-018-0193-y.) discovered OsMTL, which is homologous to ZmMTL, in order to develop a haploid induction gene in rice. They then discovered that knocking out this gene induced the production of haploids in rice. The induction rate was 2% to 6%, proving that MTL is also involved in the formation of mediated haploids in rice and can be used to construct a haploid induction system in rice.In 2019, WANG et al. (WANG C, LIU Q, SHEN Y, HUA YF, WANG JJ, LIN JR, WU MG, SUN TT, CHENG ZK, MERCIER R,WANG KJ, 2019. Clonal seeds from hybrid rice by simultaneous genome engineering of meiosis and fertilization genes. Nature Biotechnology, 37(3): 283-286.DOI: 10.1038 / s41587-018-0003-0.) knocked out the OsMTL gene in hybrid rice CY84 and obtained mtl haploid inducer material in the background of hybrid rice, with an induction rate of about 5% and a maturity rate of about 10%. Furthermore, by simultaneously knocking out four endogenous rice genes, REC8, PAIR1, OSD1, and MTL, we will obtain Fix (Fixation of hybrid) material that can induce apomixis, thereby completing the fixation of hybrid vigor.

[0005] Although there are many methods to induce haploidy, there are very few genes that can achieve haploid induction by single gene control, and even fewer control genes that can be used to produce clonal seeds through rice apomixis. Currently, only two genes, OsBBM1 and OsMTL, are used. Summary of the Invention

[0006] By analyzing the expression profiles of unfertilized rice egg cells and 5-day-old embryos, two genes with high expression were found, and it was finally determined that two new genes with haploid induction ability were found in rice, which were named OsCPRO1 (CELLPROLIFERATION1) and OsCPRO2 (CELLPROLIFERATION2). Here, the gene symbol of OsCPRO1 is LOC_Os03g47740, and the gene symbol of OsCPRO2 is LOC_Os12g43950. These two haploid induction genes can be applied to rice apomixis to fix the hybrid advantage and realize the formation of clonal seeds.

[0007] We discovered two new genes, OsCPRO1 (LOC_Os03g47740) and OsCPRO2 (LOC_Os12g43950), that have the ability to induce haploid cells in rice. The haploid cells induced by these genes have a high maturity rate and can be applied to rice apomixis.

[0008] Thus, the present invention provides a haploid-inducing protein having a POX superfamily domain and a homeobox domain. Specifically, the POX superfamily domain includes a TELL domain and a SKY domain, and is SKYLKAAQELLDEVVSV.

Phenotypic characteristics of T0 generation OsCPRO series haploid derivatives For Experimental Examples 1 and 2 in Example 2, a field phenotypic survey of transgenic plants showed that there was no significant difference in vegetative growth of T0 generation transgenic plants compared to wild-type CY84, and the maturity rate was reduced. For five change ranges of 80-100%, 50-80%, 30-50%, 10-30%, and 0-10%, a summary of plant types is shown in Figure 1, and a summary of spike types is shown in Figure 2.

[0115] 2. Gene classification of 12Indel marks As shown in FIG. 3, in Experiments 1 and 2 of Example 2, 12 pairs of Indel marks for selecting haploids and double haploids have obvious polymorphisms and can be used for genotyping of genetically modified materials.

[0116] 3. Genotyping and ploidy testing of haploid and double haploid material For the haploid or double haploid materials screened in Experimental Examples 1 and 2 in Example 2, the results of the ectopic expression of the CDS sequence of OsCPRO2 by the egg cell-specific expression promoter AtDD45 in Experimental Example 1 are taken as an example: among the genetically modified materials, 12 pairs of Indel-marked sites in four strains were screened, all of which showed a single-band genotype (Figure 4), indicating that they were haploid or double haploid materials. Furthermore, using flow cytometry, two strains, CPRO2-22-1 and CPRO2-39-1, were confirmed to have haploid (n) genomes and were haploid materials. The other two strains (CPRO2-32-1 and CPRO2-32-2) had a double (2n) genome and were double haploid materials (Figure 5).

[0117] 4. Characterization of haploid and double haploid material For the haploid and double haploid materials screened in Experimental Examples 1 and 2 of Example 2, the AtDD45 follicle-specific expression promoter in Experimental Example 1 drives OsCPRO2 to complete ectopic expression. The haploid materials are significantly affected in both vegetative and reproductive growth compared to wild-type CY84: plant height is reduced, ear length is shortened, culms are small, and fertility is completely lost (Figure 6). There is no significant difference in both vegetative and reproductive growth compared to wild-type CY84 (Figure 7). The haploid materials selected in Experimental Example 3 of Example 2 are significantly affected in both vegetative and reproductive growth compared to wild Arabidopsis of Col-0 ecotype: plant type is smaller, leaves are thinner (Figure 8).

Testing status of CPRO series haploid derived materials and apomixis materials Testing the T1 generation transgenic plants of Experimental Examples 1, 2, and 3 in Example 2 revealed that the maturation rate of the haploid inducible materials ranged from 18.98±2.14% to 50.88±0.74%. The induction rate ranged from 0.44% to 7.14%, and the specific statistics are shown in Table 18. Testing the T1 generation transgenic plants of Experimental Examples 4 and 5 in Example 2 revealed that the apomixis materials produced by ectopic expression of OsCPRO1 and OsCPRO2 genes in egg cells combined with the MiMe system had a clone seed rate of 0.95% to 7.92%, and the specific statistics are shown in Table 19.
