Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel gene involved in aluminum resistance and use thereof.
  • Acidic soil accounts for about 40% of the world's arable land area. Acidic soil is a soil in which inhibiting plant growth is a problem. Plant growth inhibition is caused by aluminum toxicity. Aluminum ions quickly cause root elongation inhibition even at low concentrations (several M) and inhibit the absorption of nutrients from the roots. As a result, plants become vulnerable to various stresses. For this reason, the productivity of plants in acidic soil is very low.
  • Aluminum tolerance varies greatly among plant varieties. For example, Japanese rice varieties are more resistant to aluminum than Indian rice varieties.
  • regions with high rice production are often acidic soils. For example, it is often an acid sulfate soil paddy rice cultivation area and an acid land cultivation area.
  • rice varieties with weak aluminum tolerance are cultivated. For this reason, rice productivity is very low. For this reason, in order to improve plant productivity in acidic soil, it is required to produce rice with strong aluminum tolerance.

  • the Alsl gene consists of 4 exons (876bP) and 3 introns.

  • T-DNA inserts the putative Alsl gene exon or intron is disrupted (3D-02176, 3A-02044) was used, and the Tosl7 disruption strain used was a system (NG0545) in which a foreign gene was inserted into Exon.
  • FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the results of analyzing the expression level of the Alsl gene by quantitative RT-PCR. As shown in FIG. 3, Alsl gene expression confirmed in the wild type (WT) was not confirmed in the Tos 17 and T DNA systems. Actin was confirmed in all systems.
  • FIG. 6 is a graph comparing the amount of root elongation in each system. In this graph,% relative to the control (the amount of root elongation in the absence of aluminum) is shown.

As shown in Fig. 12, similar to the results of GFP in Fig. 11, Alsl protein is expressed in almost all cells at the root tip and localized in cells other than epidermal cells at the root base. It was done.
  • FIG. 14 is a graph showing the relationship between the expression level of the Alsl gene and the elapsed time after aluminum treatment
  • FIG. 14 is a graph showing the relationship between the expression level of the Alsl gene and the aluminum treatment concentration.
  • Alsl protein expression was induced about 2 hours after the start of aluminum treatment (Fig. 13) and induced by 5 M aluminum (Fig. 14).
  • the vertical axis in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 is the relative value of the expression level of the Alsl gene based on the expression level of actin.
  • FIG. 15 shows the results. As shown in Fig. 15, aluminum signals were observed in the alsl mutant, whereas in the wild type (Koshihikari), the signal was not observed. As a result, it was confirmed that aluminum that had entered Alsl protein was released into the cell.
  • the polynucleotide of the present invention is a gene involved in aluminum tolerance, which was first identified in plants. By expressing this gene, inhibition of plant growth by aluminum can be reduced. Therefore, the present invention can be suitably used particularly for agriculture and the food industry.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un gène participant à la tolérance à l'aluminium (gène Als 1), identifié et isolé en tant que gène innovant par clonage à base cartographique en utilisant des individus qui appartiennent à la génération F2 obtenue en croisant un mutant sensible à l'aluminium (mutant als 1) avec Kasalath. Il devient alors possible d'identifier un gène participant à la tolérance à l'aluminium qui n'avait jamais été identifié auparavant et de proposer un procédé d'utilisation du gène.
