Application of cymbidium miR159a in accelerating plant life cycle

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of plant genetic engineering, in particular to a non-coding RNA (ribonucleic acid) of cymbidium goeringiimiR159aThe application in accelerating the life cycle of plants.

Background

The orchid family (Orchidaceae) is one of the largest of the flowering plants, with 25000 varieties worldwide, accounting for approximately 10% of all flowering plants. Goering cymbidium (A. fern)Cymbidium goeringii) Belongs to the species of floret type Geshenlan in orchid family, and has peculiar flower type, light flower color, delicate flower fragrance, beautiful leaf appearance and high ornamental value and economic value. However, the time from seedling to flowering of cymbidium is long, wild cymbidium seedlings can flower in about ten years, and artificial tissue culture seedlings can flower for at least three years under proper maintenance. Therefore, the research on the molecular mechanism of the gene acting on the growth and development of plants has important significance on the breeding, production and application of cymbidium goeringii. miR159 plays an important role in plant growth and development, and can provide an important basis for genetic improvement of plants.

MicroRNA159s (miR 159 s) is one of more conservative ancient families in plant microRNAs, and can participate in various plant physiological processes, including plant growth and development, response of biotic and abiotic stress, plant secondary metabolism and the like. For example, miR159 overexpression in rice can cause stamens to develop teratogenicity, thereby causing male sterility. miR159 can also regulate and control the grain filling of rice seeds through an ABA signal pathway. The miR159 of cotton can respond to the invasion of pathogenic bacteria in a regulation and control period. Most of the research still focuses on the influence of miR159 on the growth period of plants, and miR159 influences the traits of plants through targeting GAYB. Research shows that the over-expression of Arabidopsis miR159 can reduce the expression of MYB33, so that the expression quantity of LEAFY gene is reduced, and the flowering phase delay under the short-day condition is caused. Overexpression of miR159 in rice and wheat delays the heading stage. However, miR159 is over-expressed in the erythrina megalia, so that the flowering phase of the erythrina megalia is advanced, and the growth defect does not occur. Therefore, miR159 plays an important role in the growth and development period of plants, but the specific regulation mechanism is not clear, so that miR159 is cloned from cymbidium goeringii by using a genetic engineering technologymiR159aThe precursor gene is transferred into other plants, has important significance for researching the functions of the plants, and has great application prospect.

This example clones 1 cymbidium goeringiimiR159aPrecursor gene, namedMIR159aThe nucleotide sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO.3 or SEQ ID NO.4,MIR159athe length of the gene nucleotide sequence is 202bp, the gene nucleotide sequence contains 1 stem-loop structure, and a pair of arms are arranged on the gene nucleotide sequencemiR159aA positive/negative complementary sequence, themiR159aThe mature body nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.1 or SEQ ID NO. 2. Then, the Chinese cymbidium already connected with the Chinese cymbidiummiR159aOf precursor genes35S:MIR159aThe over-expression recombinant vector is transferred into a model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, and the result shows that the obtained T1 generation plants are all cymbidium goeringiimiR159aOver-expressing the plants, and of different linesmiR159aThe degree of overexpression varies.

Example 3 cymbidiummiR159aFunctional identification for accelerating plant life cycle

Obtaining of transgenic homozygous plants: the harvested transgenic T1 generation seeds are sterilized, screened and cultured, and then transplanted into nutrient soil to be cultured at 22 ℃ for 16 h in light/8 h in darkness; after detection, retaining the preliminarily confirmed transgenic plants, harvesting seeds of T1 generations after the plants are mature, and numbering to obtain T2 generations; like the T1 generation, seeds of the T2 generation are sterilized and then coated on a screening culture medium containing antibiotics, and the culture medium is placed at 22 ℃ for continuous illumination; performing survival rate statistics on T2 generation seeds with different numbers for about 10 days, selecting plants with survival rate of 75% for transplantation, culturing in nutrient soil at 22 ℃ for 16 h in light/8 h in dark, and taking leaves for positive detection; continuously numbering positive T2 generation plants, and collecting seeds to obtain T3 generation seeds; sterilizing the seeds, screening by using a screening culture medium, and placing under the light for continuous illumination culture; around 10 days, different numbered T3 generation plants were observed, all survived and no segregating T3 homozygous plants appeared.

Transgenic plants with obvious phenotype are selected for observation, and the result is shown in figure 5. The whole life cycle of the transgenic arabidopsis plant is accelerated compared with the wild type, when the transgenic arabidopsis plant is transplanted into soil and grows for 18 days, the whole growth speed is obviously higher than that of the wild type, and the average leaf area and the average petiole length are both superior to those of the wild type; when the transgenic arabidopsis is transplanted into soil on the 30 th day, scape of the transgenic arabidopsis is obviously higher than wild type, and the amount of flowers and fruits is larger; on day 45 of soil transfer, the transgenic Arabidopsis fruits are dehiscent and mature, while the wild type fruits are still tender.

This example will turn to cymbidium35S:MIR159aArabidopsis plants were screened, cultured and T3 homozygous plants were obtained for phenotypic observation and analysis. As can be seen from the results, overexpression35S:MIR159aThe arabidopsis T3 generation homozygous plant has the phenotype of shortening the juvenile period, advancing the flowering phase, advancing the fruit ripening and the like for accelerating the life cycle.
