The invention provides a
honeysuckle MYB gene family
transcription factor 13476. A
honeysuckle HQT2
gene, an HQT2
gene promoter and a
transcription factor 13476 are cloned respectively, and a
yeast one-
hybrid experiment proves that 13476 can directly interact with the HQT2
promoter. Furthermore, the regulation of the 13476
protein on the
transcriptional activity of the HQT2 gene is analyzed by using a dual
luciferase system in tobacco, and the 13476 is proved to have an inhibiting effect on the
promoter of the HQT2. Tobacco transient transformation results show that the content of
chlorogenic acid in
plant cells can be increased by 30-40% through
heterologous transient expression of the LjHQT2 gene, and the content of
chlorogenic acid reaches the level of 1.59 mg / g. The RNAi method is adopted, molecules aiming at Lj13476 are transiently expressed in
honeysuckle, the content of
chlorogenic acid can be increased by 10%-20%, the content of
isochlorogenic acid A can be increased by 5%-30%, and the content of
isochlorogenic acid C can be increased by 7%-20%. The interaction mechanism of the honeysuckle HQT2 gene and the
transcription factor 13476 is studied, a certain basis is provided for the regulation mechanism of chlorogenic acid, and the HQT2 gene and the transcription factor 13476 are of great significance for breeding high-quality honeysuckle in the future.
