Description
Relate generally to biology field of the present invention, and relate to a kind of method that improves plant growth characteristics.More particularly, the present invention relates to improve the especially method of productive rate of plant growth characteristics by the nucleic acid of introducing in plant and expression coding small subunit ribosomal protein (S3a).The invention still further relates to the plant of wherein having introduced the S3a coding nucleic acid, this plant has the growth characteristics of improvement with respect to the corresponding wild-type plant.
The supply of the ever-increasing world population and the continuous minimizing in the arable land that can be used for agricultural evokes farming research to the efficient development that improves agricultural.The traditional means of farm crop and gardening improvement utilizes breeding technique to identify to have the plant of desired characteristic.Yet such breeding technique has some shortcomings, and promptly these technology generally are labor-intensive, and produces the plant that contains heterogeneous hereditary component usually, and this is not always to produce the anticipant character that passes over from mother plant.Development of molecular biology has allowed the human germplasm of modifying animal and plant.The genetic engineering of plant need separate and operate genetic material (generally being the form of DNA or RNA), needs subsequently this genetic material is imported in the plant.This technology can provide the crop or the plant of economics, agronomy or gardening proterties with multiple improvement.A kind of proterties with special economic interests is a productive rate.Productive rate is normally defined the economic worth weighed of making deposits yields.This can be from quantity and/or the definition of quality aspect.Productive rate directly depends on Several Factors, for example, and the quantity of organ and size, plant structure (for example, branched quantity), seed production or the like.The growth of root, dietetic alimentation and stress tolerance also are the important factors of determining productive rate.Can improve crop yield by optimizing one of above-mentioned factor.
The seventies in 20th century is early stage, and the profile of rrna assembling approach has been appeared in the saccharose gradient analysis in one's mind.3 kinds of main preribosomal particles have been identified in these researchs.Early stage 90S particle (' S ' is sedimentation rate) is processed to the preceding rrna of 66S and 43S subsequently, and they are respectively the precursor of sophisticated 60S and 40S subunit.The 60S subunit is made up of the ribosome-RNA(rRNA) of 25S, 5.8S and 5S after processing.In ripening process, numerous protein will interact and produce final structure.The 40S subunit is made up of the 18S ribosome-RNA(rRNA), and before ripe mixture forms, has numerous protein to interact equally.These two kinds of subunits are assembled into big mixture, and wherein the 40S small subunit is in conjunction with mRNA and tRNAs, and big subunit catalysis peptide bond forms.About 2/3 of rrna quality is made up of RNA, and 1/3 is made up of protein.Protein is named according to the ribosomal subunit under it: small subunit (S1 to S31) and big subunit (L1 to L44).Most protein interact with common a plurality of RNA elements from the different structure territory, to constitute and stable rRNA tertiary structure.Although the crucial activity of decoding and peptide displacement is based on the process of RNA, protein plays a part positive in the function aspects that may evolve to the protein building-up process streamline.Except they typical rrna effects, many ribosomal proteins also have the non-ribosomal effect, repair as DNA.
S3a (cyc07) cloned first in 1991.It the coding 40S ribosomal protein (small subunit), with the v-fos conversion effet factor (by the fte-1 genes encoding of people and rat), TNF-α inductive mouse TU-11 dna homolog, and be similar to yeast PLC1 and PLC2.Mammals fte-1, plant cyc-07 and yeast PLC2 have shown it is cell cycle regulating, and participate in proteinic synthetic on the rrna level.

Have now found that, in plant, introduce and express the nucleic acid of coding small subunit ribosomal protein (S3a), produced the plant that for the corresponding wild-type plant, has the growth characteristics of improvement.Therefore,, provide a kind of method that is used to improve the growth characteristics of plant, be included in the nucleic acid of introducing and expressing coding S3a in the plant according to one embodiment of the invention.
Best, by implementing method of the present invention, produce plant, the especially productive rate of Zeng Jiaing, particularly seed productive rate of growth characteristics with multiple improvement.
Be used to refer to respectively with respect to the corresponding wild-type plant as defined term in the literary composition " productive rate of increase ", in following increase aspect one or more: (i) biomass (weight) that increases of the one or more parts of plant, (can gather in the crops) part on the ground particularly, any other biomass of the part gathered in the crops of root biomass that increases or increase, the (ii) seed productive rate of Zeng Jiaing, it may come from the seed biomass (seed weight) of increase, may be the increase of every strain plant seed weight or the increase on indivedual seed basis, and the increase of described seed weight may be because of due to the seed size that changes, as seed length and/or seed width and/or seed area; (iii) (full) seed amount of Zeng Jiaing; The (iv) seed size of Zeng Jiaing, this may also influence the composition of seed; (the v) seed volume of Zeng Jiaing, this also may influence the composition of seed; (the vi) harvest index of Zeng Jiaing, it can be expressed as can gather in the crops part accounts for total biomass as the productive rate of seed ratio; (thousand seeds that vii) increase heavy (TKW) are to infer from the quantity and their gross weight of the full seed of counting.The TKW that increases may come from the seed size and/or the seed weight of increase.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the increase of productive rate is contained as mentioned (ii) to the (gain in yield vii) on any one or the multinomial defined seed level.
With cereal is example, and gain in yield can show as following one or more aspect: the increase of per hectare or every acre of plant number, and the increase of every strain plant fringe, line number, every row are planted the benevolence number, grain is heavy, thousand seeds heavy, the increase of fringe length/diameter, or the like.With the rice is example, and gain in yield can show as the increase of following one or more aspects: per hectare or every acre of plant number, the No. of inflorescences of every strain plant, spikelet number on each inflorescence, spend number on each inflorescence, the increase of the full rate of seed, the increase that thousand seeds are heavy, or the like.The increase of productive rate may also cause the structure that changes, or may take place as the result of the structure that changes.
According to preferred characteristics of the present invention, implement method of the present invention and produced the plant of productive rate with increase, it shows as following at least one aspect with respect to control plant respectively: the TKW of increase, (full) seed number of increase, the harvest index of increase seed weight and increase.Therefore, according to the present invention, provide a kind of method that is used to increase plant yield, this method is included in the nucleic acid of introducing in the plant and expressing coding S3a polypeptide.
Because transgenic plant according to the present invention have the productive rate of increase, for the growth velocity of the corresponding wild-type plant of the respective stage that is in its life cycle, these plants demonstrate the growth velocity (at them during the life cycle of small part) of increase probably.The growth velocity that increases may be that one or more parts (comprising seed) of plant are specific, maybe may be whole basically plant.Have increase growth velocity plant in addition may demonstrate early flowering.The increase of growth velocity may occur in plant one or more stages of life cycle, or basically during whole plants life cycle.The plant early stage growth velocity that increases of life cycle may reflect the enhanced growing ability.The increase of growth velocity may change the harvest cycle of plant, makes that plant can be than possible situation more late sowing kind and/or early harvest more.If growth velocity fully increases, may allow to sow more kinds of sons (for example sow and gather in the crops rice plants, then sow and gather in the crops more rice plants, all these is in a traditional vegetative period) of identical plant species.Similarly, if growth velocity fully increases, may allow to sow different plant species more kinds of sons (for example sow and gather in the crops rice plants, then, for example, sowing and randomly gather in the crops soybean, potato or any other suitable plant).With regard to some plant, the number of times that increases from same rhizome results also is possible.The harvest cycle that changes plant may cause every acre year biomass yield increase (because the number of times of (for example in 1 year) any specified plant growth and results increases).The increase of growth velocity also may allow the geographic region cultivation transgenic plant wider than their wild type counterparts because the territorial restrictions of planting plant during usually by plantation when (season early) or results (season in evening) hostile environment condition determined.If the shortening harvest cycle can be avoided these unfavourable condition.Growth velocity can be determined by obtaining various parameters from growth curve drawing growth experiment, these parameters can be: T-Mid (plant reaches 50% required time of its largest amount) and T-90 (plant reaches 90% required time of its largest amount), or the like.
Implement the plant that method generation of the present invention has the growth velocity of increase.Therefore, according to the present invention, provide a kind of method that is used to increase the growth velocity of plant, this method is included in the nucleic acid of introducing in the plant and expressing coding S3a polypeptide.The increase of growth velocity is illustrated as respectively here for control plant/corresponding wild-type plant, and the seed weight that TKW increases, (full) seed number increases increases and harvest index increases.

The present invention also provides the method for the transgenic plant of the growth characteristics that a kind of production has improvement, is included in to introduce and express S3a coding nucleic acid, the preferably nucleic acid shown in SEQ ID NO:1 in the plant.
More particularly, the invention provides the method for transgenic plant that a kind of production has the growth characteristics of improvement, this method comprises:
(i) in plant or vegetable cell, introduce S3a coding nucleic acid, the preferably nucleic acid shown in SEQ ID NO:1;
(ii) promoting regeneration and making culturing plants cell under the sophisticated condition of plant-growth.
Nucleic acid can be introduced directly among vegetable cell or the plant itself (comprising the tissue, organ or any other parts that are incorporated into plant).According to a preferable feature of the present invention, nucleic acid preferably is introduced in the plant by conversion.
The term mentioned as this paper " conversion " contained the transfer of exogenous polynucleotide in host cell, and no matter the method that shifts how.Can vegetative subsequently plant tissue, no matter be to take place by organ or embryo, can transform with genetic constructs of the present invention, and from its complete plant that regenerates.The particular organization of selecting will look the vegetative propagation system of the specific species that can be used for and be suitable for transforming most and change.Exemplary target tissue (for example comprises leaf disc, pollen, embryo, cotyledon, hypocotyl, megagametophyte, callus, already present meristematic tissue, apical meristem, bud and root meristematic tissue that armpit is given birth to) and inductive meristematic tissue (for example, cotyledon meristematic tissue and hypocotyl meristematic tissue).Polynucleotide can instantaneous or stably be introduced in the host cell, and can keep the nonconformity state, for example, and as plasmid.Selectively, it can be incorporated in the host genome.The transformed plant cells of gained can be used for being regenerated as the conversion plant with the method known to those skilled in the art then.
The conversion of plant species is a kind of quite conventional technology at present.Advantageously, any method for transformation all can be used for introducing goal gene in suitable progenitor.Method for transformation comprise use liposome, electroporation, can increase chemical that dissociative DNA takes in, direct injection DNA in plant, the particle gun partickle bombardment, use virus or pollen transforms and microinjection.Method optional from be used for protoplastis calcium/polyoxyethylene glycol method (Krens, F.A. etc., 1882, Nature 296,72-74; Negrutiu I. etc., June 1987, Plant Mol.Biol.8,363-373); The electroporation of protoplastis (Shillito R.D. etc., 1985 Bio/Technol 3,1099-1102); Microinjection in vegetable material (Crossway A. etc., 1986, Mol.Gen Genet 202,179-185); DNA or the bombardment of RNA coating particles (Klein T.M. etc., 1987, Nature 327,70); With (nonconformity type) virus infection or the like.The transgenosis rice plant of expressing S3a preferably uses any well-known process that rice transforms that is used for, conversion by soil Agrobacterium (Agrobacterium) mediation produces, how the method for describing in the document of playing for example in office: disclosed European patent application EP 1198985 A1, Aldemita and Hodges (Planta, 199,612-617,1996); Chan etc. (Plant Mol.Biol.22 (3) 491-506,1993), Hiei etc. (Plant is (2) 271-282 J.6,1994), its disclosed content is incorporated in the literary composition as a reference as the full content of its statement.Transform (Nat.Biotechnol.1996 Jun such as preferable methods such as Ishida as for cereal; 14 (6): 745-50) or (Plant Physiol.2002 May such as Frame; 129 (1): 13-22), its disclosed content is incorporated in the literary composition as a reference as the full content of its statement.
Usually after transforming, the coded one or more marks of expressive gene of plant that move with the goal gene corotation in selection vegetable cell or the cell mass are followed the material regeneration that will transform and are become whole plant.
After DNA transfer and the regeneration, can estimate and infer existence, copy number and/or the genome structure that transforms goal gene in the plant, for example use Southern to analyze.Selectively or additionally, the expression level of newly introducing DNA can use Northern and/or Western to analyze and monitor, and two kinds of technology all are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
The conversion plant that produces can breed by the whole bag of tricks, as by vegetative propagation or classical breeding technique.For example, the first-generation (or T1) transforms the s-generation (or T2) transformant that plant can selfing be isozygotied with generation, and the T2 plant can further breed by the breeding technique of classics.
The inverting biological body that produces can be various forms of.For example, they can be the mosaics of transformant and non-transformed cell; Clone's transformant (for example, all cell is all transformed to contain expression cassette); Transform with the graft of unconverted tissue (for example, in plant, transform rhizome by grafting in unconverted scion).
Any vegetable cell or plant that the present invention obviously prolongs and produced by any method of describing in the literary composition, and all plant parts and propagulum thereof.The present invention also prolongs and includes the former generation conversion that produced by any above-mentioned method or the offspring of transfectional cell, tissue, organ or complete plant, and unique requirement is that this offspring shows genotype and/or the phenotypic characteristic identical with genotype that is produced by method of the present invention and/or phenotypic characteristic in parental generation.The present invention also comprises the host cell that contains separative S3a coding nucleic acid.Preferred host cell is a vegetable cell according to the present invention.The present invention also prolongs and the part gathered in the crops of plant, as but be not limited to seed, leaf, fruit, flower, stem culture, rhizome, stem tuber and bulb.
Also can implement method of the present invention and not need in plant to introduce the nucleic acid of coding S3a.This can realize (preferably in the locus of S3a encoding gene) by introducing genetic modification.Locus as defined gene in the literary composition is meant genome area, and it comprises the upstream or the downstream of goal gene and 10KB coding region.
For example, genetic modification can be introduced by following any (or multiple) method: TDNA activation, TILLING, site-directed mutagenesis, homologous recombination, directly evolution, or as indicated above, by in plant (cell), introducing and express the S3a coding nucleic acid.
T-DNA activates the insertion that label Science (1992) 1350-1353 such as () Hayashi comprises T-DNA, it contains the promotor (also may be translational enhancer or intron) of structure like this usually in the upstream of the genome area of goal gene or gene coding region or downstream 10KB place, thereby this promotor can instruct target gene expression.Usually, destroy the expression regulation of target gene natural promoter, and this gene is under the control of promotor of new introducing it.Promotor generally is embedded among the T-DNA.For example, T-DNA infects by soil Agrobacterium and is inserted in the Plant Genome at random, and causes the gene overexpression near the T-DNA of this insertion.Because near the gene overexpression of the promotor of introducing, the transgenic plant of gained demonstrate the dominant phenotype.Promotor to be introduced can be any promotor that can instruct gene to express in required organism [is plant in this case].For example, composing type, organize preference, the cell type preference and inducible promoter all is suitable for T-DNA and activates.
Also can use TILLING technology (targeted induction genome local mutating technology), genetic modification is incorporated in the locus of nucleic acid/gene of coding S3a.This is a kind of induced-mutation technique, can be used for producing and/or identify, and final separation energy show the mutagenesis variant of the S3a coding nucleic acid of S3a biologic activity.TILLING can also select to carry the plant of this class mutation variants.These mutation variants even can show the higher S3a activity that natural form showed than this gene.TILLNG combines high-density mutagenesis and high-throughput screening method.The step that TILLING generally follows is: (a) EMS mutagenesis (Redei and Koncz, 1992; Feldmann etc., 1994; Lightner and Caspar, 1998); (b) DNA preparation and individual the merging; (c) pcr amplification in purpose zone; (d) sex change and annealing are to allow to form heteroduplex; (e) DHPLC, wherein the existence of heteroduplex detection is extra peak value in the color atlas in the storehouse; (f) identify mutated individual; (g) order-checking of sudden change PCR product.The method of TILLING is (McCallum Nat Biotechnol.2000 Apr well known in the art; 18 (4): 455-7, by Stemple 2004 (TILLING-a high-throughput harvest for functionalgenomics.Nat Rev Genet.2004 February; 5 (2): 145-50.) summary).
Can utilize site-directed mutagenesis to produce variant or its part of S3a coding nucleic acid.Several Methods can be used to realize site-directed mutagenesis, modal method (the current protocols inmolecular biology.Wiley volume that is based on PCR
Http:// www.4ulr.com/products/currentprotocols / index.html)
Directly evolution also can be used for producing the variant of S3a coding nucleic acid.This comprises multiple DNA reorganization, then carries out suitable screening and/or selection to produce variant (Castle etc., (2004) Science 304 (5674): 1151-4 of S3a coding nucleic acid; United States Patent (USP) 5,811,238 and 6,395,547).
T-DNA activation, TILLING, site-directed mutagenesis and direct the evolution are the examples that can produce the technology of new allelotrope and SYT variant.
Homologous recombination can be introduced selected nucleic acid at genomic regulation selected location place.Homologous recombination is a normally used standard technique in the biology, is used for low organism such as yeast or the liver moss physcomitrella that waits.The method that is used for carrying out homologous recombination plant describes in model plant not only that (Extrachromosomal homologous recombination and genetargeting in plant cells after Agrobacterium-mediated transformation.1990EMBO such as Offringa is year October J.1990; 9 (10): 3077-84), and (Terada R is for example described in the rice cereal crop, Urawa H, Inagaki Y, Tsugane K, Iida S.Efficient gene targetingby homologous recombination in rice.Nat Biotechnol.2002.Iida and Terada:A tale of two integrations, transgene and T-DNA:gene targeting byhomologous recombination in rice.Curr Opin Biotechnol.2004 April; 15 (2): 132-8).For example, treat that the nucleic acid (it can be a S3a coding nucleic acid as hereinbefore defined) of target need not be targeted in the locus of S3a encoding gene, but be directed into the zone of high expression level.The nucleic acid for the treatment of target can be the allelotrope of improvement, is used to replace native gene, or additionally is incorporated in the native gene.
The present invention also comprises the purposes of nucleic acid of the S3a that encodes and the purposes of S3a polypeptide.
A kind of such purposes relates to as hereinbefore defined S3a certainly in the growth characteristics of improvement plant, especially for improving productive rate, the especially purposes of seed productive rate.The seed productive rate can comprise following one or more aspect: (full) seed number of increase, the seed weight of increase, the harvest index of increase and TKW of increase or the like.The S3a coding nucleic acid can be shown in SEQ ID NO:1, and S3a albumen can be the amino acid shown in SEQ ID NO:2.
The nucleic acid of coding S3a as hereinbefore defined and S3a polypeptide also have purposes in breeding program greatly.The S3a coding nucleic acid can be shown in SEQ ID NO:1, or S3a can be the amino acid shown in SEQ ID NO:2.For example, S3a coding nucleic acid or its part can be positioned on the karyomit(e) (or its part), and preferably relevant with one or more family member links together.In an example of this breeding system, evaluation may with the chain dna marker of gene genetic that can regulate in the plant the proteic expression of nucleic acid of coding S3a, this gene can be the gene of coding S3a albumen itself, or can influence active any other gene of coding proteic expression of gene of S3a and/or S3a albumen itself directly or indirectly.This then dna marker can be used for breeding system, has the plant of the growth characteristics of improvement with selection.
The allelic variant of S3a also can be used for conventional breeding system, as in the auxiliary breeding of mark.Such breeding system needs the mutagenic treatment by plant sometimes, introduces allelic variation in plant.A kind of suitable mutafacient system is EMS mutagenesis.Carry out the evaluation of allelic variant by for example PCR then.Then be the screening step, be used to select the good allelic variant of the sequence of discussing, it produces the growth characteristics of improvement in plant.Generally the growth characteristics that contain the plant of the different allelic variants (for example, the different allelic variants of SEQ ID NO:1) that sequence is discussed to some extent by monitoring are screened.The monitoring growth characteristic can be in the greenhouse or the field carry out.Optional step comprises and makes plant and another kind of plant hybridization in addition, wherein identifies good allelic variant.For example, this can be used for producing the purpose phenotypic characteristic of combination.
The S3a coding nucleic acid also can be used as probe, and so that gene is carried out heredity and physical mapping, these genes are a part and signs of chain with it proterties.These information can be used for plant breeding, have the kind system of desired phenotype with exploitation.This application of S3a coding nucleic acid, only needing length is the nucleotide sequence of at least 15 Nucleotide.The S3a coding nucleic acid can be used as restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) mark.The Southern trace (Maniatis) of the plant genome DNA of restrictive diges-tion can use the S3a coding nucleic acid to survey.Can use a computer then program such as MapMaker (Lander etc. (1987) Genomics 1:174-181) carries out genetic analysis to the banding pattern of gained, to make up genetic map.In addition, this nucleic acid can be used for surveying the Southern trace, and this Southern trace contains the genomic dna that the restriction endonuclease of one group of individuality representing parent and clear and definite genetic cross offspring is handled.Record the separation of dna polymorphism, and be used for calculating the position (Botstein etc. (1980) Am.J.Hum.Genet.32:314-331) that the S3a coding nucleic acid uses the genetic map of this colony's acquisition in front.
The preparation and the purposes in genetic mapping of the probe in plant gene source are described among Bematzky and Tanksley (1986) the Plant Mol.Biol.Reporter 4:37-41.Numerous publications were described and are used method recited above or its flexible form that specific cDNA clone is carried out genetic mapping.For example, F2 hybridization colony, backcross population, panmictic population, the homogenic system of close relative and other group of individuals can be used for mapping.These class methods are well known to those skilled in the art.
Nucleic acid probe also can be used for physical mapping and (that is, sequence is placed on the physical map; Referring to Hoheisel etc.: Non-mammalian Genomic Analysis:A Practical Guide, Academicpress 1996, the 319-346 pages or leaves, and the reference of wherein quoting).
In another embodiment, nucleic acid probe can be used for direct fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping (Trask (1991) Trends Genet.7:149-154).Though present FISH drawing method is partial to use big clone (several to hundreds of KB; Referring to (1995) Genome Res.5:13-20 such as Laan), but the raising of sensitivity allows to use short probe to carry out the FISH mapping.
Many various methods based on nucleic acid amplification that are used for heredity and physical mapping can use described nucleic acid to implement.Example comprises the polymorphism (CAPS of allele specific amplification (Kazazian (1989) J.Lab.Clin.Med11:95-96), pcr amplified fragment; Sheffield etc. (1993) Genomics16:325-332), allele-specific connects (Landegren etc. (1988) Science 241:1077-1080), Nucleotide extension (Sokolov (1990) Nucleic Acid Res.18:3671), radiation hybridization mapping (Walter etc. (1997) Nat.Genet.7:22-28) and Happy mapping (Dear and Cook (1989) Nucleic Acid Res.17:6795-6807).For implementing these methods, use nucleotide sequence design and preparation primer right, to be used for amplified reaction or primer extension reaction.This class primer design is well-known to those skilled in the art.In the method that adopts the PCR-based genetic mapping, has the difference that dna sequence dna between the parental generation of mapping corresponding to nucleotide sequence of the present invention zone is crossed in necessary evaluation.Yet this is dispensable usually to drawing method.
Nucleic acid and the S3a polypeptide of coding S3a also can be used as growth regulator.The S3a coding nucleic acid can be the nucleic acid shown in SEQ ID NO:1, and S3a albumen/polypeptide can be the amino acid shown in SEQ ID NO:2.Because these S3a can be used for improveing the growth characteristics of plant, S3a also is useful growth regulator, as weedicide or growth stimulator.Therefore the present invention provides a kind of composition, and it comprises the nucleic acid of S3a or coding S3a, together with suitable carriers, thinner or vehicle, as growth regulator.
Method of the present invention produces the plant of the growth characteristics with improvement, as previously discussed.The growth characteristics of these improvement also can combine with favourable proterties on other economics, as other volume increase proterties, to various stress tolerance, the proterties of modifying various constitutional featuress and/or biochemistry and/or physiologic character.
