1 results about "Lignin biosynthesis" patented technology

The application belongs to the field of plant biotechnology, and specifically discloses a Punica granatum ABCG9 gene and application thereof. The PgABCG9 gene of the Punica granatum is cloned for the first time, and the nucleic acid sequence is shown as SEQ ID No. 1. The PgABCG9 is only expressed in the inner seed coat of the Punica granatum, and the transcription level is negatively correlated with the hardness of the Punica granatum seeds. Under the same growth conditions, the PgABCG9 transgenic Arabidopsis plants show slow growth, reduced lignin deposition, reduced expression level of lignin biosynthesis genes, and reduced content of metabolic products in the lignin biosynthesis pathway. Subcellular localization analysis shows that the PgABCG9 is located in the Golgi apparatus. The PgABCG9 plays a negative regulation role in the lignin biosynthesis, and can regulate the lignin synthesis of the inner seed coat of the Punica granatum, and adjust the kernel hardness, thereby laying a foundation for improving the fruit quality of the Punica granatum and other drupes from the direction of lignin in the future.
