The invention provides a jasmine VIGS silencing
system as well as a construction method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
plant genetic engineering. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, providing a specific
nucleotide fragment for silencing the
arabian jasmine flower PDS
gene, and inserting the specific
nucleotide fragment into a pTRV2 vector through
homologous recombination by taking a tobacco
embrittlement virus (TRV) as the vector, so as to construct a silencing vector pTRV2-JsPDS; a vector pTRV1, a vector pTRV2 and a
silence vector pTRV2-JsPDS are respectively transferred into
agrobacterium to obtain a VIGS
silence system of the jasmine flower PDS
gene, the
silence system is adopted to infect a jasmine flower
plant, experiments prove that the silence system can induce silence of the jasmine flower JsPDS
gene, the total
chlorophyll content in jasmine flower leaves after gene silence is reduced by 34.98-63.79%, and the total
chlorophyll content in the jasmine flower leaves after gene silence is reduced by 34.98-63.79%. And the relative expression quantity of the endogenous JsPDS gene is reduced by 56.38%-85.79%. The method has the advantages of being easy and convenient to operate, short in period, high in silencing efficiency, free of complete
gene sequence information and genetic
transformation systems and the like, and an efficient and reliable technical means is provided for
arabian jasmine flower gene function research.
