Description

Nucleic acid sequence of corn transformation event LG11 and detection method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of plant biology. In particular, it relates to a nucleic acid sequence and detection method for a maize transformation event LG11, and in particular to a transgenic maize event LG11 that is resistant to insects and to the application of glufosinate herbicide and a nucleic acid sequence and detection method for detecting whether a biological sample contains a particular transgenic maize event LG 11.
Background
The entire growth period of corn is affected by a variety of pests, with corn borers being the major pests in corn production, resulting in about a 10% yield loss each year. In recent years, as global climate is warmed, the damage of corn borers is further aggravated, and meanwhile, the damage of the armyworms in a large area also occurs. Spodoptera frugiperda is a novel agricultural pest invaded into China from Yunnan in 2018, and the number of host plants is 19, wherein the occurrence area of corn accounts for 98.1% of the total occurrence area of crops.
The Cry1Ab protein was developed by Monsanto company for the first time into insect-resistant corn MON810, aiming at improving the resistance to wild rod borer (Ositrinia species) pests such as Asiatic Corn Borer (ACB). Vip3Aa is applied to transgenic corn MIR162 by the company of Santa Cladonia for the first time, and has remarkable control effect on Agrotis ypsilon, corn earmoth Helicoverpa armigera, bean Bai Longqie root worm Loxagrotis albicosta and spodoptera frugiperda Spodoptera frugiperda. The M2cryAb-Vip3A protein is formed by combining main domains of Cry1Ab and Vip3Aa proteins by an artificial synthesis method. The main advantages of the M2cryAb-vip3A protein are: (1) Expanding the insect resistance spectrum, and simultaneously containing the functional domains of two proteins, and expecting to have resistance to corn borer, cotton bollworm, armyworm and spodoptera frugiperda; (2) The method is favorable for the resistance management of target pests, and a large number of researches show that Vip3 has high insecticidal activity on various lepidoptera pests, expands the insecticidal spectrum of Bt proteins, meanwhile, the insecticidal mechanisms of Vip3 toxins and Cry toxins are different, no homology exists in evolution, and the probability of interactive resistance of the pests on the two toxins is small; (3) Reducing the level of mycotoxin in corn ears and kernels and improving the quality of corn kernels; (4) The protein sequence does not contain allergen sequence, and has biological safety while maintaining high-efficiency insecticidal activity.
Weeds in the field compete with crops for water, fertilizer, light energy and growth space, and the yield and quality of the crops are directly affected. Meanwhile, a plurality of weeds are intermediate hosts of crop pathogenic bacteria and pests, and are one of important biological limiting factors for crop yield increase. Therefore, effective control of weeds in the field is one of the important measures for promoting grain yield increase. In addition, the scaling up and mechanization of agricultural planting is a predictable trend, which makes traditional manual weeding approaches impractical. The popularization and use of the herbicide can greatly reduce the labor for cotton field management and labor intensity. The new herbicide product with high efficiency, low toxicity and no residue is developed, and the cost is high, the time consumption is long and the difficulty is high. This difficulty can be overcome by breeding maize with resistance to biocidal herbicides by transgenic technology. The weed problem can be effectively solved by spraying for 1-2 times in the corn growing period, and the dosage and the input cost of herbicide are reduced. Therefore, the herbicide-resistant transgenic corn has very wide application value and market potential.
The invention connects the insect-resistant gene expression cassette and herbicide-resistant expression cassette in series, so that the expression cassette can be efficiently expressed in transgenic corn, has insect-resistant and herbicide-resistant properties, and further enhances the application and economic value of the product.
Expression of exogenous genes in plants is known to be affected by their chromosomal location, possibly due to the proximity of chromatin structures (e.g., heterochromatin) or transcriptional regulatory elements (e.g., enhancers) to the integration site. For this reason, it is often necessary to screen a large number of events to make it possible to identify events that can be commercialized (i.e., events in which the introduced target gene is optimally expressed). For example, it has been observed in plants and other organisms that the expression level of the introduced gene may vary greatly between events; there may also be differences in the spatial or temporal patterns of expression, such as differences in the relative expression of transgenes between different plant tissues, which differences may be manifested in actual expression patterns that are inconsistent with the expression patterns expected from the transcriptional regulatory elements in the introduced gene construct, resulting in differences in the performance of the transformation event. Thus, it is often desirable to generate hundreds or thousands of different events and screen those events for a single event having transgene expression levels and patterns that are expected for commercialization purposes. Events with expected transgene expression levels and expression patterns can be used to introgress transgenes into other genetic backgrounds by sexual outcrossing using conventional breeding methods. The progeny produced by this crossing retain the transgene expression characteristics of the original transformation event. The use of such a strategy can ensure reliable gene expression in many varieties that are well suited to the growth conditions of the locus. Therefore, more transformation events need to be identified and screened for superior transformation events with superior overall trait performance and commercial prospects.
It would be beneficial to be able to detect the presence of a particular event to determine whether the progeny of a sexual cross contain a gene of interest. In addition, methods of detecting specific events will also help to comply with relevant regulations, such as the need for formal approval and marking of foods derived from recombinant crops prior to their being put on the market. It is possible to detect the presence of the transgene by any well known polynucleotide detection method, such as the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). These detection methods are generally focused on commonly used genetic elements such as promoters, terminators, marker genes, and the like. Thus, unless the sequence of chromosomal DNA adjacent to the inserted transgenic DNA ("flanking DNA") is known, such a method as described above cannot be used to distinguish between different events, particularly those generated with the same DNA construct. Therefore, it is common today to identify a transgene specific event by PCR using a pair of primers spanning the junction of the inserted transgene and flanking DNA, specifically a first primer comprising the flanking sequence and a second primer comprising the inserted sequence.

The term "gene" refers to a nucleic acid fragment that expresses a particular protein, including regulatory sequences preceding (5 'non-coding sequences) and regulatory sequences following (3' non-coding sequences) the coding sequences. "native gene" refers to a gene that is found naturally to have its own regulatory sequences. By "chimeric gene" is meant any gene that is not a native gene, comprising regulatory and coding sequences found in a non-native manner. "endogenous gene" refers to a native gene that is located in its natural location in the genome of an organism. "exogenous gene" is a foreign gene that is present in the genome of an organism and that is not originally present, and also refers to a gene that has been introduced into a recipient cell by a transgenic procedure. The exogenous gene may comprise a native gene or chimeric gene inserted into a non-native organism. A "transgene" is a gene that has been introduced into the genome by a transformation procedure. The site in the plant genome where the recombinant DNA has been inserted may be referred to as an "insertion site" or "target site".
"flanking DNA" may comprise genomic or foreign (heterologous) DNA introduced by a transformation process, such as fragments associated with a transformation event, naturally occurring in an organism such as a plant. Thus, flanking DNA may include a combination of native and foreign DNA. In the present invention, a "flanking region" or "flanking sequence" or "genomic border region" or "genomic border sequence" refers to a sequence of at least 3, 5, 10, 11, 15, 20, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, or 5000 base pairs or more that is immediately upstream or downstream of and adjacent to the initial exogenous inserted DNA molecule. When this flanking region is located upstream, it may also be referred to as a "left border flanking" or "5 'genomic flanking region" or "genomic 5' flanking sequence" or the like. When this flanking region is located downstream, it may also be referred to as a "right border flanking" or a "3 'genomic flanking region" or a "genomic 3' flanking sequence", etc.
Transformation procedures that cause random integration of exogenous DNA will result in transformation events that contain different flanking regions that each transformation event specifically contains. When recombinant DNA is introduced into plants by conventional hybridization, its flanking regions are generally not altered. Transformation events will also contain unique junctions between segments of heterologous insert DNA and genomic DNA or between two segments of heterologous DNA. "ligation" is the point at which two specific DNA fragments are ligated. For example, the junction exists where the insert DNA joins the flanking DNA. The junction point is also present in transformed organisms, where the two DNA fragments are joined together in a manner that modifies what is found in the native organism. "adapter DNA" refers to DNA that contains an adapter.
The present invention provides a transgenic corn event designated LG11 and progeny thereof, the transgenic corn event LG11 being a corn LG11 comprising plants and seeds of the transgenic corn event LG11 and plant cells or regenerable parts thereof, plant parts of the transgenic corn event LG11 including, but not limited to, cells, pollen, ovules, flowers, shoots, roots, stems, leaves and products from the corn LG11 such as cotton seed, cottonseed oil, cotton coat, cotton quilt, cotton batting, cotton cloth and biomass left in the corn crop field.
The transgenic corn event LG11 of the invention comprises a DNA construct that, when expressed in a plant cell, confers tolerance to insect and/or glufosinate herbicides to the transgenic corn event LG 11. The DNA construct comprises an expression cassette comprising a suitable promoter for expression in a plant operably linked to an M2cryAb-VIP3A gene having insect resistance and a suitable polyadenylation signal sequence, the nucleic acid sequence of the M2cryAb-VIP3A protein being capable of increasing maize insect resistance. The DNA construct comprises a further expression cassette comprising a suitable promoter for expression in a plant operably linked to a gene bar encoding Phosphinothricin Acetyl Transferase (PAT), the nucleic acid sequence of the PAT protein being tolerant to glufosinate herbicide and a suitable polyadenylation signal sequence. Further, the promoter may be a suitable promoter isolated from plants, including constitutive, inducible, and/or tissue-specific promoters, including, but not limited to, the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter, the Figwort Mosaic Virus (FMV) 35S promoter, the Ubiquitin protein (Ubiquitin) promoter, the Actin (action) promoter, the agrobacterium (Agrobacterium tumefaciens) nopaline synthase (NOS) promoter, the octopine synthase (OCS) promoter, the night yellow leaf curly virus (cestron) promoter, the tuber storage protein (Patatin) promoter, the ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rusco) promoter, the Glutathione S Transferase (GST) promoter, the E9 promoter, the GOS promoter, the alcA/alcR promoter, the agrobacterium (Agrobacterium rhizogenes) roller promoter, and the arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) promoter. The polyadenylation signal sequence may be a suitable polyadenylation signal sequence for functioning in plants, including, but not limited to, polyadenylation signal sequences derived from the Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Agrobacterium tumefaciens) nopaline synthase (NOS) gene, from the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S terminator, from the protease inhibitor II (PIN II) gene, and from the alpha-tubulin (alpha-tubulin) gene.
In addition, the expression cassette may also include other genetic elements including, but not limited to, enhancers and signal peptides/transit peptides. The enhancer may enhance the expression level of a gene, including, but not limited to, tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) translational activator, caMV35S enhancer, and FMV35S enhancer. The signal peptide/transit peptide may direct the transit of the EPSPS protein to a specific organelle or compartment outside or inside the cell, for example, targeting to the chloroplast using a sequence encoding a chloroplast transit peptide, or targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum using a 'KDEL' retention sequence.
The 'glufosinate' refers to a nonselective, broad-spectrum, efficient and low-toxicity organophosphorus herbicide which strongly inhibits the activity of the amino acid biosynthetic enzyme, glutamine synthetase (Glutamine Synthetase, GS), of bacteria and plants. GS plays an important role in plant ammonia assimilation and regulation of ammonia metabolism, and is the only detoxification enzyme in plants, which can detoxify ammonia released by nitric acid reduction, amino acid degradation and photorespiration. Treatment with a "glufosinate herbicide" refers to treatment with any herbicide formulation containing glufosinate. The choice of the rate of use of a certain glufosinate formulation in order to achieve an effective biological dose is not beyond the skills of the average agronomic technician. Treatment of a field containing plant material derived from transgenic corn event LG11 with any herbicide formulation that contains glufosinate will control weed growth in the field and not affect the growth or pest resistance of plant material derived from transgenic corn event LG 11.
The DNA construct is introduced into a plant using transformation methods including, but not limited to, agrobacterium (Agrobacterium) -mediated transformation, gene gun transformation, and pollen tube channel transformation.
The agrobacterium-mediated transformation method is a common method for plant transformation. The foreign DNA to be introduced into the plant is cloned between the left and right border consensus sequences of the vector, i.e., the T-DNA region. The vector is transformed into an agrobacterium cell, which is subsequently used to infect plant tissue, and the T-DNA region of the vector comprising exogenous DNA is inserted into the plant genome. After transformation, the transgenic plants must be regenerated from the transformed plant tissue and offspring with the exogenous DNA selected using appropriate markers.
A DNA construct is a combination of DNA molecules that are linked to one another to provide one or more expression cassettes. The DNA construct is preferably a plasmid capable of self replication in bacterial cells and containing various restriction enzyme sites for the introduction of DNA molecules providing functional genetic elements, i.e. promoters, introns, leader sequences, coding sequences, 3' terminator regions and other sequences. The expression cassette contained in the DNA construct includes the genetic elements necessary to provide for transcription of messenger RNA, and can be designed for expression in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells. The expression cassette of the invention is designed to be expressed most preferably in plant cells.
A transgenic "event" is obtained by transforming a plant cell with a heterologous DNA construct, i.e., comprising at least one nucleic acid expression cassette containing a gene of interest, inserting into the plant genome by transgenic means to produce a plant population, regenerating the plant population, and selecting a particular plant having the characteristics of being inserted into a particular genomic locus. The term "event" refers to both the original transformation event comprising heterologous DNA and the progeny of the transformation event. The term "event" also refers to the progeny of a sexual cross between a transformation event and other species of individuals containing heterologous DNA, even after repeated backcrosses with a backcross parent, the inserted DNA and flanking genomic DNA from the transformation event parent are present at the same chromosomal location in the hybrid progeny. The term "event" also refers to a DNA sequence from an original transformation event that comprises an inserted DNA and flanking genomic sequences immediately adjacent to the inserted DNA, which DNA sequence is expected to be transferred into progeny resulting from sexual crossing of a parental line containing the inserted DNA (e.g., progeny resulting from the original transformation event and its selfing) with a parental line not containing the inserted DNA, and which progeny received the inserted DNA comprising the gene of interest.
"recombinant" in the context of the present invention refers to forms of DNA and/or proteins and/or organisms that are not normally found in nature and are therefore produced by manual intervention. Such manual intervention may result in recombinant DNA molecules and/or recombinant plants. The "recombinant DNA molecule" is obtained by artificially combining two otherwise isolated sequence segments, for example by chemical synthesis or by manipulation of isolated nucleic acid segments by genetic engineering techniques. Techniques for performing nucleic acid manipulations are well known.
The term "transgene" includes any cell, cell line, callus, tissue, plant part or plant, the genotype of which is altered by the presence of a heterologous nucleic acid, and includes the transgene originally so altered as well as progeny individuals produced from the original transgene by sexual crosses or asexual propagation. In the present invention, the term "transgene" does not include genomic (chromosomal or extrachromosomal) alterations by conventional plant breeding methods or naturally occurring events such as random allofertilisation, non-recombinant viral infection, non-recombinant bacterial transformation, non-recombinant transposition or spontaneous mutation.
By "heterologous" in the present invention is meant that the first molecule is not normally found in combination with the second molecule in nature. For example, a molecule may originate from a first species and be inserted into the genome of a second species. Such molecules are thus heterologous to the host and are artificially introduced into the genome of the host cell.
A transgenic corn event LG11 having insect-resistant properties and tolerance to glufosinate herbicide is grown by the steps of: first sexually crossing a first parent corn plant consisting of a corn plant grown from a transgenic corn event LG11 and its progeny obtained by transformation with an expression cassette of the invention that is insect-resistant and tolerant to a glufosinate herbicide, with a second parent corn plant lacking insect-resistant properties or tolerant to a glufosinate herbicide, thereby producing a multiplicity of first generation progeny plants; progeny plants that are tolerant to the glufosinate herbicide are then selected and maize plants that are tolerant to the glufosinate herbicide can be grown. These steps may further include backcrossing the insect-and glufosinate-tolerant progeny plant with the second parent corn plant or the third parent corn plant, and then selecting the progeny by application with the glufosinate herbicide or by identification of a molecular marker associated with the trait (e.g., a DNA molecule comprising the junction site identified at the 5 'and 3' ends of the insertion sequence in transgenic corn event LG 11) to produce a corn plant with insect-resistant properties and tolerance to the glufosinate herbicide.
It will also be appreciated that two different transgenic plants can also be crossed to produce offspring containing two independent, separately added exogenous genes. Selfing of appropriate offspring can result in offspring plants that are homozygous for both added exogenous genes. Backcrossing of parent plants and outcrossing with non-transgenic plants as previously described are also contemplated, as are asexual propagation.
The term "probe" is an isolated nucleic acid molecule to which a conventional detectable label or reporter molecule, e.g., a radioisotope, ligand, chemiluminescent agent, or enzyme, is attached. Such a probe is complementary to one strand of the target nucleic acid, and in the present invention, the probe is complementary to one strand of DNA from the genome of transgenic maize event LG11, whether the genomic DNA is from transgenic maize event LG11 or seed or a plant or seed or extract derived from transgenic maize event LG 11. Probes of the present invention include not only deoxyribonucleic acid or ribonucleic acid, but also polyamides and other probe materials that specifically bind to a target DNA sequence and can be used to detect the presence of the target DNA sequence.
The term "primer" is an isolated nucleic acid molecule that binds to a complementary target DNA strand by nucleic acid hybridization, anneals to form a hybrid between the primer and the target DNA strand, and then extends along the target DNA strand under the action of a polymerase (e.g., DNA polymerase). The primer pairs of the invention relate to their use in the amplification of a target nucleic acid sequence, for example, by the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or other conventional nucleic acid amplification methods. The length of the primer is generally 11 polynucleotides or more, preferably 18 polynucleotides or more, more preferably 24 polynucleotides or more, and most preferably 30 polynucleotides or more. Such primers hybridize specifically to the target sequence under highly stringent hybridization conditions. Although primers which are different from the target DNA sequence and which maintain the ability to hybridize to the target DNA sequence can be designed by conventional methods, it is preferred that the primers of the present invention have complete DNA sequence identity to consecutive nucleic acids of the target sequence.
As used herein, "kit" or "microarray" refers to a set of reagents or chips for the purpose of identification and/or detection of maize transformation events in a biological sample. For the purpose of quality control (e.g. purity of seed lot), detection of events in or containing plant material or materials derived from plant material, such as but not limited to food or feed products, kits or chips may be used and their components may be specifically tailored.
Primers and probes based on flanking genomic DNA and insert sequences of the invention can be determined by conventional methods, for example, by isolating the corresponding DNA molecule from plant material derived from transgenic corn event LG11 and determining the nucleic acid sequence of the DNA molecule. The DNA molecule comprises a transgene insert and maize genomic flanking regions, and fragments of the DNA molecule may be used as primers and probes.
The primers and probes of the invention hybridize to the target DNA sequence under stringent conditions. Any conventional amplification method can be used to identify the presence of DNA in the sample derived from transgenic corn event LG 11. The nucleic acid molecule or fragment thereof is capable of specifically hybridizing to other nucleic acid molecules under certain conditions. As used herein, two nucleic acid molecules can be said to specifically hybridize to each other if they are capable of forming antiparallel double-stranded nucleic acid structures. Two nucleic acid molecules are said to be "complements" of one nucleic acid molecule if they exhibit complete complementarity. As used herein, a nucleic acid molecule is said to exhibit "complete complementarity" when each nucleotide of the two molecules is complementary to a corresponding nucleotide of the other nucleic acid molecule. Two nucleic acid molecules are said to be "minimally complementary" if they are capable of hybridizing to each other with sufficient stability such that they anneal and bind to each other under at least conventional "low stringency" conditions. Similarly, two nucleic acid molecules are said to have "complementarity" if they are capable of hybridizing to each other with sufficient stability such that they anneal and bind to each other under conventional "highly stringent" conditions. Deviations from complete complementarity are permissible provided that such deviations do not completely prevent the formation of double-stranded structures by the two molecules. In order to enable a nucleic acid molecule to act as a primer or probe, it is only necessary to ensure sufficient complementarity in sequence to allow the formation of a stable double-stranded structure at the particular solvent and salt concentration employed.
As used herein, a substantially homologous sequence is a nucleic acid molecule that is capable of specifically hybridizing under highly stringent conditions to the complementary strand of a matching other nucleic acid molecule. Suitable stringent conditions for promoting DNA hybridization, for example, treatment with 6.0 XSSC/sodium citrate (SSC) at about 45℃followed by washing with 2.0 XSSC at 50℃are well known to those skilled in the art. For example, the salt concentration in the washing step may be selected from about 2.0 XSSC at low stringency conditions, about 0.2 XSSC at 50℃to high stringency conditions, about 50 ℃. In addition, the temperature conditions in the washing step may be raised from about 22 ℃ at room temperature under low stringency conditions to about 65 ℃ under high stringency conditions. The temperature conditions and salt concentration may both be varied, or one may remain unchanged while the other variable is varied. Preferably, a nucleic acid molecule of the invention can specifically hybridize under moderately stringent conditions, e.g., at about 2.0 XSSC and about 65℃to one or more of SEQ ID NO. 1, SEQ ID NO. 2, SEQ ID NO. 3, SEQ ID NO. 4, SEQ ID NO. 5, SEQ ID NO. 6 and SEQ ID NO. 7, or to a complement thereof, or to any fragment of the foregoing. More preferably, a nucleic acid molecule of the invention hybridizes specifically under highly stringent conditions to one or more of SEQ ID NO. 1, SEQ ID NO. 2, SEQ ID NO. 3, SEQ ID NO. 4, SEQ ID NO. 5, SEQ ID NO. 6 and SEQ ID NO. 7 or to the complement thereof, or to any fragment of the above sequences. In the present invention, preferred marker nucleic acid molecules have SEQ ID NO. 1, SEQ ID NO. 2, SEQ ID NO. 3, SEQ ID NO. 4, SEQ ID NO. 6 or SEQ ID NO. 7 or the complement thereof, or any fragment of the above sequences.
Another preferred marker nucleic acid molecule of the invention has 80% to 100% or 90% to 100% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO. 1, SEQ ID NO. 2, SEQ ID NO. 3, SEQ ID NO. 4, SEQ ID NO. 6 or SEQ ID NO. 7 or the complement thereof, or any fragment of the above sequences. SEQ ID NO. 1, SEQ ID NO. 2, SEQ ID NO. 3, SEQ ID NO. 4, SEQ ID NO. 6 and SEQ ID NO. 7 can be used as markers in plant breeding methods to identify offspring of genetic crosses. Hybridization of the probe to the target DNA molecule may be detected by any method known to those skilled in the art, including, but not limited to, fluorescent labels, radiolabels, antibody-based labels, and chemiluminescent labels.
With respect to amplification (e.g., by PCR) of a target nucleic acid sequence using specific amplification primers, "stringent conditions" refer to conditions that allow hybridization of only the primer pair to the target nucleic acid sequence in a DNA thermal amplification reaction, and primers having a wild-type sequence (or its complement) corresponding to the target nucleic acid sequence are capable of binding to the target nucleic acid sequence and preferably produce a unique amplification product, i.e., an amplicon.
The term "specific binding (target sequence)" means that the primer hybridizes only to the target sequence in a sample containing the target sequence under stringent hybridization conditions.
As used herein, "amplified DNA" or "amplicon" refers to the nucleic acid amplification product of a target nucleic acid sequence that is part of a nucleic acid template. For example, to determine whether a maize plant is produced by sexual hybridization from a maize sample containing the transgenic maize event LG11 of the invention, or whether a maize sample collected from a field contains the transgenic maize event LG11, or whether a maize extract, such as cotton, cotton seed oil, contains the transgenic maize event LG11, DNA extracted from a maize plant tissue sample or extract can be amplified by a nucleic acid amplification method using a primer pair to produce an amplicon that is diagnostic for the presence of DNA of the transgenic maize event LG 11. The primer pair includes a first primer derived from a flanking sequence in the genome of the plant adjacent to the insertion site of the inserted foreign DNA, and a second primer derived from the inserted foreign DNA. The amplicon has a length and sequence that is also diagnostic for the transgenic corn event LG 11.
The length of the amplicon may range from the combined length of the primer pair plus one nucleotide base pair, preferably plus about fifty nucleotide base pairs, more preferably plus about two hundred fifty nucleotide base pairs, and most preferably plus about four hundred fifty nucleotide base pairs or more.
Alternatively, the primer pair may be derived from flanking genomic sequences flanking the inserted DNA to produce an amplicon comprising the entire inserted nucleotide sequence. One of the primer pairs derived from the plant genomic sequence may be located at a distance from the inserted DNA sequence that may range from one nucleotide base pair to about twenty thousand nucleotide base pairs. The use of the term "amplicon" specifically excludes primer dimers formed in the DNA thermal amplification reaction.
The nucleic acid amplification reaction may be accomplished by any nucleic acid amplification reaction method known in the art, including the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Various methods of nucleic acid amplification are well known to those skilled in the art. PCR amplification methods have been developed to amplify 22kb genomic DNA and 42kb phage DNA. These methods, as well as other DNA amplification methods in the art, may be used in the present invention. The inserted exogenous DNA sequence and flanking DNA sequences from transgenic corn event LG11 can be amplified from the genome of transgenic corn event LG11 by using the provided primer sequences, and standard DNA sequencing can be performed on the PCR amplicon or cloned DNA after amplification.
DNA detection kits based on DNA amplification methods contain DNA primer molecules that hybridize specifically to the target DNA under appropriate reaction conditions and amplify the diagnostic amplicon. The kit may provide agarose gel-based detection methods or a number of methods known in the art for detecting diagnostic amplicons. Kits comprising DNA primers homologous or reverse complementary to any portion of the maize genomic region of SEQ ID NO. 3 or SEQ ID NO. 4 and homologous or reverse complementary to any portion of the transgene insertion region of SEQ ID NO. 5 are provided by the invention. In particular, primer pairs identified as useful in DNA amplification methods are SEQ ID NO. 8 and SEQ ID NO. 9, which amplify a diagnostic amplicon homologous to a portion of the 5' transgene/genomic region of transgenic maize event LG11, wherein the amplicon comprises SEQ ID NO. 1. Primer pairs useful in DNA amplification methods are also identified as comprising SEQ ID NO. 10 and SEQ ID NO. 11, which amplify a diagnostic amplicon homologous to a portion of the 3' transgene/genomic region of transgenic maize event LG11, wherein the amplicon comprises SEQ ID NO. 2. Other DNA molecules used as DNA primers may be selected from SEQ ID NO. 5.
Amplicons produced by these methods can be detected by a variety of techniques. One of the methods is Genetic Bit Analysis, which designs a DNA oligonucleotide strand that spans the insert DNA sequence and adjacent flanking genomic DNA sequences. The oligonucleotide strand is immobilized in a microwell of a microwell plate, and after PCR amplification of the target region (using one primer in each of the insert sequence and adjacent flanking genomic sequences), the single-stranded PCR product can hybridize to the immobilized oligonucleotide strand and serve as a template for a single base extension reaction using DNA polymerase and ddNTPs specifically labeled for the next desired base. The results may be obtained by fluorescence or ELISA-like methods. The signal represents the presence of an insertion/flanking sequence, which indicates that the amplification, hybridization and single base extension reactions were successful.
Another method is Pyrosequencing technology. The method contemplates an oligonucleotide strand spanning the insertion DNA sequence and adjacent genomic DNA binding sites. The oligonucleotide strand and the single stranded PCR product of the target region (using one primer in each of the insert sequence and adjacent flanking genomic sequences) are hybridized and then incubated with DNA polymerase, ATP, sulfurylase, luciferase, apyrase, adenosine-5' -phosphosulfate and luciferin. dNTPs are added separately and the resulting optical signal is measured. The optical signal represents the presence of an insertion/flanking sequence, which indicates that amplification, hybridization, and single base or multiple base extension reactions were successful.
Fluorescence polarization is also one method that can be used to detect the amplicons of the invention (Chen X, levine L, and Kwok PY. Fluorescence polarization in homogeneous nucleic acid analysis [ J ]. Genome Res,1999,9 (5): 492-8.). The use of this method requires the design of an oligonucleotide strand spanning the insertion DNA sequence and adjacent genomic DNA binding sites. The oligonucleotide strand is hybridized to a single stranded PCR product of the target region (using one primer in each of the insert sequence and adjacent flanking genomic sequences) and then incubated with DNA polymerase and a fluorescent labeled ddNTP. Single base extension will result in insertion of ddNTP. Such an insertion can measure the change in its polarization using a fluorometer. The change in polarization represents the presence of an insertion/flanking sequence, which indicates that amplification, hybridization, and single base extension reactions were successful.
Taqman is described as a method for detecting and quantifying the presence of a DNA sequence, which is described in detail in the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Briefly, a FRET oligonucleotide probe is designed that spans the intervening DNA sequence and adjacent genomic flanking binding sites, as described below. The FRET probe and PCR primers (one primer in each of the insert sequence and adjacent flanking genomic sequences) are cycled in the presence of a thermostable polymerase and dNTPs. Hybridization of the FRET probe results in cleavage of the fluorescent moiety and the quencher moiety on the FRET probe and release of the fluorescent moiety. The generation of a fluorescent signal is representative of the presence of the insertion/flanking sequences, which indicates that amplification and hybridization were successful.
Suitable techniques for detecting plant material derived from transgenic maize event LG11 can also include Southern blot hybridization, northern blot hybridization, and in situ hybridization based on the hybridization principle. In particular, the suitable technique includes incubating the probe and sample, washing to remove unbound probe and detecting whether the probe has hybridized. The detection method depends on the type of label attached to the probe, for example, radiolabeled probes can be detected by X-ray exposure and development, or enzymatically labeled probes can be detected by substrate conversion to effect a color change.
The sequences can also be detected using molecular markers (Tyagi S and Kramer F R.molecular beacons: probes that fluoresce upon hybridization [ J ]. Nat. Biotechnol,1996,14 (3): 303-8.). A FRET oligonucleotide probe is designed that spans the inserted DNA sequence and adjacent genomic flanking binding sites. The unique structure of the FRET probe results in it containing a secondary structure that is capable of retaining both the fluorescent moiety and the quenching moiety in close proximity. The FRET probe and PCR primers (one primer in each of the insert sequence and adjacent flanking genomic sequences) are cycled in the presence of a thermostable polymerase and dNTPs. Upon successful PCR amplification, hybridization of the FRET probe to the target sequence results in a loss of secondary structure of the probe, thereby spatially separating the fluorescent moiety from the quenching moiety, producing a fluorescent signal. The generation of a fluorescent signal is representative of the presence of the insertion/flanking sequences, which indicates that amplification and hybridization were successful.
Other described methods, such as microfluidics (microfluidics), provide methods and apparatus for isolating and amplifying DNA samples. The photodyes are used to detect and determine specific DNA molecules. A nano tube (nano tube) device comprising an electronic sensor for detecting DNA molecules or a nano bead binding to a specific DNA molecule and thus being detectable is useful for detecting the DNA molecules of the invention.
DNA detection kits may be developed using the compositions of the present invention and methods described in or known to the DNA detection arts. The kit facilitates the identification of the presence or absence of DNA for transgenic corn event LG11 in a sample and can also be used to develop corn plants containing DNA for transgenic corn event LG 11. The kit may contain DNA primers or probes homologous or reverse complementary to at least a portion of SEQ ID NO. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7, or other DNA primers or probes homologous or complementary to DNA contained in the transgenic genetic element of DNA, which DNA sequences may be used in DNA amplification reactions or as probes in DNA hybridization methods. The DNA structure of the transgene insert contained in the corn genome and the binding site to the corn genome illustrated in fig. 1 and table 1 comprises: a left flanking genomic region of maize LG11 at the 5' end of the transgene insert, a portion of the insert from the left border region (LB) of agrobacterium, the first expression cassette being the 35S promoter (CaMV 35S promoter (enhanced)) of cauliflower mosaic virus, operably linked to the glufosinate resistance gene sequence (bar), and operably linked to the 35S terminator (CaMV poly (a)) of cauliflower mosaic virus; the second expression cassette consisted of the 35S promoter of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV 35 Spromoter), operably linked to the insect-resistant gene m2cryAb-vip3A, and operably linked to the nopaline synthase gene terminator (NOS terminator), a portion of the insert sequence from the right border Region (RB) of Agrobacterium, and the maize LG11 right flanking genomic region (SEQ ID NO: 5) at the 3' end of the transgene insert sequence. In the DNA amplification method, the DNA molecule used as a primer may be any part derived from the transgene insert sequence in the transgenic corn event LG11, or any part derived from the DNA region of the flanking corn genome in the transgenic corn event LG 11.
Transgenic corn event LG11 can be combined with other transgenic corn varieties, such as herbicide (e.g., glufosinate, glyphosate, etc.) tolerant corn, or transgenic corn varieties carrying an insect-resistant gene. Various combinations of all of these different transgenic events, when bred with transgenic corn event LG11 of the present invention, can provide improved hybrid transgenic corn varieties that are resistant to insects and multiple herbicides. These varieties may exhibit superior characteristics of insect resistance, resistance to various herbicides, and the like, compared to non-transgenic varieties and transgenic varieties of single traits.
The invention provides a nucleic acid sequence for detecting corn plants and a detection method thereof, and transgenic corn event LG11 has the effects of improving insect resistance and tolerating glufosinate herbicide. Maize plants of this trait express the M2cryAb-vip3A protein and Phosphinothricin Acetyltransferase (PAT) protein, which confers insect resistance and tolerance to glufosinate to plants. Meanwhile, in the detection method, SEQ ID NO. 1 or a reverse complement thereof, SEQ ID NO. 2 or a reverse complement thereof, SEQ ID NO. 3 or a reverse complement thereof, SEQ ID NO. 4 or a reverse complement thereof, SEQ ID NO. 6 or a reverse complement thereof, or SEQ ID NO. 7 or a reverse complement thereof can be used as a DNA primer or a probe to generate an amplification product for diagnosing the transgenic corn event LG11 or a progeny thereof, and the existence of plant materials derived from the transgenic corn event LG11 can be rapidly, accurately and stably identified.
The transgenic corn event LG11 has strong glufosinate tolerance and outstanding insect resistance. These characteristics allow the LG11 transformant to be used to improve glufosinate herbicide tolerance and pest resistance traits of corn, thereby breeding new varieties of corn resistant to pest and herbicide.
The technical scheme of the invention is further described in detail through the drawings and the embodiments.

Detailed Description
The transformation event LG11 refers to a maize plant obtained by crossing and backcrossing maize HiIIB serving as a receptor with recurrent parent maize inbred line Chang 7-2 and selfing to insert an exogenous gene insert (T-DNA insert) between specific genome sequences. In a specific example, the expression vector used for the transgene has the physical map shown in FIG. 2, and the resulting T-DNA insert has the sequence shown in nucleotides 281-7424 of SEQ ID NO. 5. Transformation event LG11 may refer to this transgenic process, or to T-DNA inserts within the genome resulting from this process, or to a combination of T-DNA inserts and flanking sequences, or to maize plants resulting from this transgenic process. In specific examples, the event is also applicable to plants obtained by transforming other recipient varieties with the same expression vector, thereby inserting a T-DNA insert into the same genomic location. The transformation event LG11 may also refer to progeny plants resulting from asexual, sexual, double or double propagation of the above plants or combinations thereof.
Example 1 acquisition and characterization of transformation events
The M2cryAb-Vip3A protein is formed by combining main structural domains of Cry1Ab and Vip3Aa proteins by an artificial synthesis method, and the Cry1Ab and Vip3Aa have remarkable control effects on corn borer, spodoptera frugiperda and other pests; the bar gene codes phosphinothricin acetyl transferase, which can improve the tolerance of plants to glufosinate herbicide. The invention uses pCAMBIA3300+m2cryAb-vip3A expression vector (the physical diagram of the vector is shown in figure 2, and comprises an m2cryAb-vip3A gene expression cassette and a bar gene expression cassette), converts receptor HiIIB by an agrobacterium-mediated method to obtain more than 400 positive transformants, and after molecular detection, each generation uses maize inbred line Chang 7-2 as recurrent parent to carry out backcross to obtain BC 5 F 2 The transgenic corn seeds LG 01-LG 20 are used for screening and identifying herbicide tolerance, insect resistance and related agronomic traits of the transformed seedlings.
1. Screening transformants excellent in insect-resistant and herbicide-resistant traits
(1) Herbicide resistance screening
By taking recurrent parent Chang 7-2 as a reference, transformants with better herbicide tolerance are screened by a method of spraying glufosinate with the quantity 1 times of the recommended concentration in the field. The results show that only 9 transformation events were significantly more tolerant to glufosinate herbicide than the control (table 2).
TABLE 2 herbicide resistance manifestation
Values are from the mean ± standard deviation of 3 biological replicates. Statistical analysis multiple comparisons (α=0.05) were made using LSD, with different letters indicating the significance of the same column data difference at the same herbicide concentration.
(2) Insect resistance
Transformants with better resistance to insects were selected from the 9 transformation events described above by the leaf-chamber method using the recurrent parent Chang 7-2 as a reference. The materials were evaluated for insect resistance using ex vivo corn leaf feeding to the first larvae of Asian corn borer and Spodoptera frugiperda. Mortality of corn borers and spodoptera frugiperda caused by 9 transformant leaves was significantly higher than that of the control (table 3), with LG04, LG06, LG09, LG11 being resistant to both corn borers and spodoptera frugiperda at high levels and the remainder being medium or resistant.
TABLE 3 indoor biological assay
Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation of 4 biological replicates, and the significance of the differences in the same column of data was analyzed using LSD method (α=0.05).
(3) Agronomic trait investigation
The identification of resistance traits of several transformants was accompanied by detailed recordings of their agronomic traits (e.g., plant height, leaf size, ear size, grain weight, etc.). When data statistics were carried out, it was unexpectedly found that the plant heights and hundred grain weights of the transformants LG01, LG03, LG04, LG05, LG06, LG08, LG09 and LG14 were significantly lower than those of the control Chang 7-2, and that only the agronomic traits (plant heights and hundred grain weights) of the transformant LG11 were not significantly different from those of the control (Table 4).
TABLE 4 results of partial agronomic trait investigation
Values are from the mean ± standard deviation of 3 biological replicates. Statistical analysis multiple comparisons (α=0.05) were made using LSD, with different letters representing the significance of the same column data difference over the same period.
Taken together, LG11 is a transformant that is excellent in herbicide resistance, insect resistance, and agronomic traits.
2. Insertion site flanking sequence analysis of exogenous sequences on maize genome
To further define the insertion site for the transformation event LG11, the present invention analyzes flanking sequences of the LG11 exogenous sequence at the insertion site on the maize genome.
100mg plant leaves are taken, and after liquid nitrogen is rapidly ground, total DNA is extracted by adopting a CTAB method. After concentration measurement of genomic DNA, the total amount of DNA was ensured to be > 2. Mu.g. By utilizing genome re-sequencing (completed by Wuhan biosamples library Co., ltd.), each Reads is 150bp in length to obtain at least 20Gb data, and the data quality index Q30 is more than or equal to 80% (namely, the ratio of the base with the sequencing error rate being more than 0.1% is lower than 20%). According to the genome re-sequencing result, BWA software is used for carrying out sequence homology comparison screening (BWA, http:// bio-bwa.sourceforge.net/, default) with the T-DNA sequence of the transgenic vector serving as a template and the total sequence obtained by sequencing. And further splicing and screening the sequences obtained by screening, and removing the Reads with all the sequences being vector sequences to finally obtain a type of Reads sequences, wherein one half of the Reads are genome sequences and the other half of the Reads are vector sequences. And (3) according to the obtained genome sequence, performing Blast sequence comparison on a corn genome website https:// www.maizegdb.org /), and obtaining a specific position of the genome sequence on a genome, namely a possible insertion site.
And respectively comparing the sequencing result with a reference genome and an exogenous T-DNA sequence to obtain the information of the insertion position of the exogenous insertion fragment. Then, forward and reverse primers are designed on the genomic flanking sequence and the exogenous insertion sequence at the left and right boundaries of the insertion site, the insertion site is verified by a PCR amplification method, and the PCR product is sequenced and analyzed. The results show that the exogenous fragment of transformant LG11 was inserted forward between the maize genome chr5:177554037-177554053 bp.
Subsequently, primer design was performed using Primerblast software (https:// Blast. NCBI. Lm. Nih. Gov/Blast) from NCBI website at the genomic and T-DNA regions at the left and right boundaries of the insertion site, and the amplified product fused a portion of the maize genomic sequence and a portion of the T-DNA sequence.
PCR amplification was performed using transgenic maize strain genomic DNA as template. The PCR reaction was performed in a 20. Mu.L system. The amplification cycle program is: pre-denaturation at 94℃for 3min; denaturation at 94℃for 30s, annealing for 30s, extension at 72℃for a certain time (set according to the size of the product fragment), 35 cycles; extending at 72℃for 5min.
Based on the flanking sequence and the results of the insertion position, the LG11 transformation event was PCR amplified using the genomic upstream primer (SEQ ID NO: 8) and the vector left border primer (SEQ ID NO: 9) and the vector right border primer (SEQ ID NO: 10) and the genomic downstream primer (SEQ ID NO: 11) to verify the foreign fragment insertion position. The results are shown in FIG. 5. The result proves that the LG11 exogenous fragment is stably inserted into the position of chr5:177554037 bp of the corn genome, and the inserted sequence and upstream and downstream genome flanking sequence fragments are further obtained through overlapping PCR amplification and sequencing analysis, and the sequence assembly is shown in figure 6. The sequence analysis showed that the insert size was 7144bp.
By analyzing the border sequences on the left and right sides, the insertion of the exogenous sequence causes the sequence mutation of 15bp of the corn genome, meanwhile, the left border sequence of the vector is deleted by 388bp (comprising partial sequence of herbicide-resistant gene bar and complete terminator sequence), and the right border sequence is deleted by 22bp.
