Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of crop genetics, in particular to application of miR396 or a mutant of a coding gene thereof in regulation and control of plant agronomic traits.
Background
Rice is one of the most important grain crops in the world and is also the first large grain crop in China. The dwarfing breeding from the end of the 50 th to the beginning of the 60 th of the 20 th century and the successful application of the three-line hybrid indica rice in the 70 th make two major leaps on the rice yield per unit in China and make great contribution to meeting the food self-sufficiency in China. In the past decade, with the increasing population of China, the requirement on the total production of rice is gradually increased. In the modern agricultural production process, people play a very important role in promoting the development of agricultural production by using chemical fertilizers, particularly applying nitrogen fertilizers. However, when people apply a large amount of nitrogen fertilizer, a lot of problems and influences are brought, which not only causes huge waste to economy and resources, but also causes serious threat to ecological environment, and excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer causes soil acidification, secondary salinization, greenhouse effect, ozone layer holes, eutrophication of water bodies and the like. Therefore, breeding a new variety that can maintain or improve the yield per unit of existing rice under low nitrogen conditions is an important issue for genetic breeders.
microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding single-stranded small RNA molecules of 20-24 nucleotides in length that bind to the mRNA of a target gene through base pairing, thereby causing degradation or translational inhibition of the mRNA. miRNA controls the growth, development, stress tolerance and the like of plants by regulating and controlling the accumulation of genes encoding proteins in-situ cells in the plants.
However, the current miRNA targets have limited ability to improve agronomic traits in plants.
There is therefore an urgent need in the art to develop a method capable of significantly improving agronomic traits in plants.

On this basis, the present inventors have completed the present invention.
GRF gene
As used herein, the terms "GRF gene" and "gene of the invention" are used interchangeably and refer to a gene of the invention that modulates an agronomic trait in a plant.
In a preferred embodiment, the gene of the present invention comprises GRF4, GRF6, GRF8, and preferably, the gene of the present invention comprises GRF8. More preferably, the GRF gene of the present invention is derived from rice.
GRF, collectively known as growth-regulating factors, is a plant-specific class of transcription factors. It can form a functional complex by the interaction of the N-terminal QLQ structural domain and the SNH structural domain in the GIF (GRF-interaction factor) protein, and participate in the expression regulation of downstream genes together. The number of members of different species is slightly different, 9 in Arabidopsis, 12 in rice and 14 in maize.
The GRF gene of the present invention may be in a DNA form or an RNA form. The form of DNA includes cDNA, genomic DNA or artificially synthesized DNA. The genomic DNA may be identical to the sequences shown in SEQ ID NO. 5, 7, 9 or degenerate variants. The DNA of the present invention may be single-stranded or double-stranded, and the DNA may be a coding strand or a non-coding strand. The coding region sequence encoding the mature polypeptide may be identical to the coding region sequences shown in SEQ ID NO. 5, 7, 9 or may be a degenerate variant.
As used herein, "degenerate variant" refers in the present invention to nucleic acid sequences which encode a protein having the sequence of SEQ ID No. 3, 4, 6 or 8, but which differ from the sequence of the coding region as set forth in SEQ ID No. 5, 7, 9.
A polynucleotide encoding a mature polypeptide of SEQ ID No. 3, 4, 6 or 8 comprising: a coding sequence encoding only the mature polypeptide; the coding sequence for the mature polypeptide and various additional coding sequences; the coding sequence (and optionally additional coding sequences) as well as non-coding sequences for the mature polypeptide.
The term "polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide" may include a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide, and may also include additional coding and/or non-coding sequences.
The present invention also relates to variants of the above polynucleotides which encode polypeptides having the same amino acid sequence as the present invention or fragments, analogs and derivatives of the polypeptides. The variant of the polynucleotide may be a naturally occurring allelic variant or a non-naturally occurring variant. These nucleotide variants include substitution variants, deletion variants and insertion variants. As is known in the art, an allelic variant is a substitution form of a polynucleotide, which may be a substitution, deletion, or insertion of one or more nucleotides, without substantially changing the function of the encoded polypeptide.
The present invention also relates to polynucleotides which hybridize to the above-described sequences and which have at least 50%, preferably at least 70%, and more preferably at least 80% identity between the two sequences. The present invention particularly relates to polynucleotides which hybridize under stringent conditions to the polynucleotides of the present invention. In the present invention, "stringent conditions" refer to (1) hybridization and elution at lower ionic strength and higher temperature, e.g., 0.2 XSSC, 0.1% SDS,60 ℃; or (2) adding a denaturing agent such as 50% (v/v) formamide, 0.1% calf serum/0.1% Ficoll,42 ℃ etc. at the time of hybridization; or (3) hybridization only when the identity between two sequences is at least 90% or more, preferably 95% or more. And, the polypeptide encoded by the hybridizable polynucleotide has the same biological function and activity as the mature polypeptide shown in SEQ ID No. 2.
The invention also relates to nucleic acid fragments hybridizing with the sequences described above. As used herein, a "nucleic acid fragment" is at least 15 nucleotides, preferably at least 30 nucleotides, more preferably at least 50 nucleotides, and most preferably at least 100 nucleotides in length. The nucleic acid fragments can be used in nucleic acid amplification techniques (e.g., PCR) to determine and/or isolate polynucleotides encoding polypeptides associated with thermotolerant properties.
Polypeptide coded by GRF gene
As used herein, the terms "polypeptide of the invention", "polypeptide encoded by a GRF gene", "protein encoded by a GRF gene" and "GRF polypeptide" are used interchangeably and refer to a polypeptide of the invention that has the ability to modulate agronomic traits in plants under low nitrogen conditions.
In a preferred embodiment, the polypeptide of the invention comprises GRF4, GRF6 and/or GRF8. More preferably, the polypeptide of the present invention is derived from rice.
The polypeptide of the present invention may be a recombinant polypeptide, a natural polypeptide, a synthetic polypeptide, preferably a recombinant polypeptide. The polypeptides of the invention can be naturally purified products, or chemically synthesized products, or using recombinant technology from prokaryotic or eukaryotic hosts (e.g., bacteria, yeast, higher plant, insect and mammalian cells). Depending on the host used in the recombinant production protocol, the polypeptides of the invention may be glycosylated or may be non-glycosylated. The polypeptides of the invention may or may not also include an initial methionine residue.
The invention also includes fragments, derivatives and analogs of the GRF polypeptides. As used herein, the terms "fragment," "derivative," and "analog" refer to a polypeptide that retains substantially the same biological function or activity as a native GRF polypeptide of the invention. A polypeptide fragment, derivative or analogue of the invention may be (i) a polypeptide in which one or more conserved or non-conserved amino acid residues, preferably conserved amino acid residues, are substituted, and such substituted amino acid residues may or may not be encoded by the genetic code, or (i) a polypeptide having a substituent group in one or more amino acid residues, or (iii) a polypeptide in which the mature polypeptide is fused to another compound, such as a compound that increases the half-life of the polypeptide, e.g., polyethylene glycol, or (iv) a polypeptide in which an additional amino acid sequence is fused to the sequence of the polypeptide (e.g., a leader or secretory sequence or a sequence used to purify the polypeptide or a proprotein sequence, or a fusion protein). Such fragments, derivatives and analogs are well within the skill of those in the art in light of the teachings herein.
In a preferred embodiment, the polypeptide of the invention refers to a polypeptide having a sequence of SEQ ID No. 3, 4, 6 or 8 that modulates agronomic traits in plants under low nitrogen conditions. Also included are variants of the sequences of SEQ ID No. 3, 4, 6 or 8 having the same function as the GRF polypeptide. These variants include (but are not limited to): deletion, insertion and/or substitution of one or more (usually 1 to 50, preferably 1 to 30, more preferably 1 to 20, most preferably 1 to 10) amino acids, and addition of one or several (usually up to 20, preferably up to 10, more preferably up to 5) amino acids at the C-terminal and/or N-terminal. For example, in the art, substitutions with amino acids of similar or similar properties will not generally alter the function of the protein. Also, for example, the addition of one or several amino acids at the C-terminus and/or N-terminus does not generally alter the function of the protein. The term also includes active fragments and active derivatives of GRF polypeptides.
Variants of the polypeptide include: homologous sequences, conservative variants, allelic variants, natural mutants, induced mutants, proteins encoded by DNA that hybridizes under high or low stringency conditions with DNA for the SPL polypeptide, and polypeptides or proteins obtained using antisera directed against GRF polypeptides. The invention also provides other polypeptides, such as fusion proteins comprising a GRF polypeptide or fragment thereof. In addition to almost full-length polypeptides, the invention also encompasses soluble fragments of GRF polypeptides. Typically, the fragment has at least about 10 contiguous amino acids, typically at least about 30 contiguous amino acids, preferably at least about 50 contiguous amino acids, more preferably at least about 80 contiguous amino acids, and most preferably at least about 100 contiguous amino acids of the GRF polypeptide sequence.
The invention also provides GRF polypeptides or analogs thereof. These analogs may differ from the native GRF polypeptide by amino acid sequence differences, by modifications that do not affect the sequence, or by both. Such polypeptides include natural or induced genetic variants. Induced variants can be obtained by various techniques, such as random mutagenesis by irradiation or exposure to mutagens, site-directed mutagenesis, or other known molecular biological techniques. Analogs also include analogs having residues other than the natural L-amino acids (e.g., D-amino acids), as well as analogs having non-naturally occurring or synthetic amino acids (e.g., beta, gamma-amino acids). It is to be understood that the polypeptides of the invention are not limited to the representative polypeptides exemplified above.
Modified (generally without altering primary structure) forms include: chemically derivatized forms of the polypeptide, such as acetylation or carboxylation, in vivo or in vitro. Modifications also include glycosylation. Modified forms also include sequences having phosphorylated amino acid residues (e.g., phosphotyrosine, phosphoserine, phosphothreonine). Also included are polypeptides modified to increase their resistance to proteolysis or to optimize solubility.
In the present invention, the term "conservative variant GRF polypeptide" refers to a polypeptide in which at most 10, preferably at most 8, more preferably at most 5, and most preferably at most 3 amino acids are replaced by amino acids having similar or similar properties as compared to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 3, 4, 6 or 8. In such proteins, substitutions with amino acids that are similar or analogous in properties will not generally alter the function of the protein, nor will the addition of one or more amino acids at the C-terminus and/or \ terminus. These conservative variants are preferably produced by amino acid substitutions according to the following table.

Multiple mutation types aiming at single mutation of miR396e are detected, and observation and analysis show that the miR396e mutant phenotype is expressed in the way of influencing the rice grain type (grain length, grain width and/or grain weight) (figure 1).
Further analysis showed that mir396e mutant plants had a 4.77% increase in seed length and a 5.58% increase in grain width over wild type plants (FIG. 2).
6. Conclusion of the experiment
The miR396e single mutation can change the grain type of rice seeds, particularly can increase the grain length, the grain width and/or the grain thickness, and finally improves the yield of rice through the change of the grain type.
Example 2 under the condition of low nitrogen, the miR396ef double mutant can improve the yield of rice
Obtaining different types of mutants such as miR396ef and miR396abcef by adopting the method in the experimental example 1; different gRNAs are designed, and miR396ef double mutants and other different types of mutants such as miR396abcef are obtained.
(1) Influence of growth situation of miR396ef mutant (miR 396ef double mutant) under nitrogen-free condition
Observations of the mutant and wild type seedlings grown under different nitrogen conditions revealed that the mir396ef mutant had hardly any difference from the wild type under holo-element (nitrogen content 0.034 g/L) culture conditions; however, in the medium without nitrogen (nitrogen content 0 g/L), the growth potential of the three mir396e/f mutants was significantly stronger than that of the wild type (FIG. 3). The experimental result preliminarily shows that miR396e/f can participate in the process of responding to the external nitrogen deficiency nutrition stress and has important influence on the growth potential of rice.
(1) Influence of miR396ef on grain type under low nitrogen condition
Under the field environment and the low-nitrogen condition (no nitrogen fertilizer is applied, the total nitrogen content of the soil is about 1.5g/kg of soil), the different mutation types of miR396ef can increase the grain length of rice by 8.46%, the grain width by 7.95%, the grain thickness by 8.16% and the thousand-grain weight by 26.51% (shown in figure 4, a-c). The mir396abcef mutant has the same grain type as the mir396ef mutant, and no obvious statistical difference exists.
Section observation is carried out on wild type seeds and mutant seeds, and the change of the grain type is mainly reflected in the increase of the number of glume cells and the increase of the volume of the glume cells of the seeds. (FIG. 5, a-b)
(2) Under the condition of low nitrogen, miR396ef mutation can increase the grain number per ear of rice
Under field conditions and low nitrogen conditions (no nitrogen fertilizer is applied), mir396ef ears are long (20.55 +/-1.83cm VS 17.93 +/-1.64 cm) and have more main branches (8.8 +/-1.34VS 7.33 +/-1.56) compared with wild type. Longer ear lengths and more ear branches are generally associated with more grains, and ear numbers for mir396ef mutant are higher than wild type (77.82 ± 8.89vs 72.35 ± 10.96). (FIG. 6, a-c)
(3) Under the condition of low nitrogen, miR396ef mutation can increase the yield of rice
Our field yield trials showed that in a field where 270kg ha-1 nitrogen fertilizer was applied under normal cultivation conditions (2 m.times.2 m), the mir396ef mutant increased grain yield by about 4% over the wild type.
Under low nitrogen conditions (no nitrogen fertilizer applied), the mir396ef mutant rice showed a significant increase in grain yield of about 15% over the wild type. (FIG. 7, a-b)
In conclusion, under the condition of low nitrogen, the mir396ef double mutation has more obvious influence on phenotypes such as rice grain type, grain number per ear, plant height and the like compared with the normal cultivation condition, and finally the yield of rice can be improved through the influence on the phenotypes.
Example 3 miR396ef mutant can improve biomass of rice under low nitrogen condition
(1) miR396ef mutation can increase rice leaf length
In the field condition, in the middle stage of grouting, selecting three tillers with main effects for each single plant, and selecting 20 single plants in total; shearing the leaf sheaths at the positions of the flag leaf sheaths of the three tillers of each selected single plant; the distance from the blade tip to the sheath was measured with a graduated scale. Mir396ef double mutant flag leaves were 32.8% longer compared to wild type flag leaves (fig. 8).
(2) miR396ef mutation can increase rice plant height
Under the field condition, in the later stage of grouting, 20 single plants are selected; the distance from the ground surface to the ear of each individual plant was measured with a graduated scale. The results show that the mir396ef mutant (74.13 + -3.54 cm) is higher than the wild type (69.33 + -3.20 cm), but the tiller number is similar to the wild type. (FIG. 9)
(3) miR396ef mutation can increase biomass accumulation of overground part of rice
Under field conditions, after rice is mature, selecting 20 individual plants; cutting the single plants from the ground plane; putting all the plant tissues on the cut overground part into a 60 ℃ oven, and baking for two weeks; the dry matter weight of each individual plant was weighed. The mir396ef mutant increased 25% of the aerial dry biomass per plant under low nitrogen cultivation conditions compared to the wild plant (fig. 10). Detection analysis shows that the photosynthetic rate of flag leaf per leaf area has no significant difference compared with the wild type. Therefore, the mutant plant height is increased; the flag leaf area is increased, the total photosynthetic rate is increased, and more photosynthetic products can be accumulated; the nitrogen absorption and utilization rate is increased, and the factors become favorable factors for increasing the dry matter of the mir396ef mutant plants.
Example 4miR396ef regulates grain and panicle development via miR396-GRF4/6/8-GIF1/2/3 pathway
All 12 GRF transcription factor genes in rice carry miR396 target sites. We found that only OsGRF4, osGRF6 and OsGRF8 were up-regulated in mir396ef mutant plants compared to wild type. RLM-race (5' RNA ligase-mediated rapid amplification of cDNA ends) analysis shows that miR396 can directly cut mRNA of OsGRF4 and OsGRF6 at a specific position of miR396 pairing region in vivo.
To study mir 396-mediated seed and ear development regulated by OsGRF4, osGRF6 and OsGRF8, we constructed mir 396-targeted resistance gene sequences of OsGRF4, osGRF6 and OsGRF8 (designated np: rGRF4, np: rGRF6 and np: rGRF8, respectively) (FIG. 11 a) and transferred them into rice under the control of their own promoters. We have found that: (1) The np: rGRF4, np: rGRF6 and np: rGRF8 seeds were larger than the wild type plants, with np: rGRF4 having the largest grain size increase and np: rGRF6 having the smallest grain size increase (FIG. 11 b). (2) Both np: rGRF6 and np: rGRF8 increased in ear length (FIG. 11 c), and np: rGRF4 had ear length and branch number similar to wild type. These results indicate that mir396ef molecule regulates seed and ear development by regulating its target genes OsGRF4, osGRF6 and OsGRF 8.
GRF has been shown to interact with the transcriptional co-activator GIFs. To find GIFs that interact with GRF4 and GRF6, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen. OsGIF1, osGIF2 and OsGIF3 were found to interact with OsGRF4, and OsGIF3 also interacted with OsGRF6 (FIG. 11 d). GIF1 mutants were generated with CRISPR/Cas9 technology and the expected short leaf phenotype was observed. The gif1 mutants also showed smaller plant and aborted seed phenotypes compared to the wild type (fig. 11 e). These results indicate that the development of the plant type and the grain type of rice is regulated by the miR396EF-GRF4/6/8-GIF1/2/3 module.
