Description

Medicago truncatula MtWOX11 gene and application thereof in increasing content of fatty acid in seeds
Technical Field
The invention relates to a WUSCHEL relatedhomeobox (WOX) family gene and application thereof, in particular to a medicago truncatula WOX family gene Mt WUSCHEL relatedhomeobox 11(MtWOX11) and application thereof in improving the fatty acid content of leguminous plant seeds, belonging to the field of genetic engineering.
Background
In recent years, with the improvement of the economic level of China and the quality of life of people, the demand of soybeans is increasing day by day. Soybean is one of the important legume commercial crops, which is capable of providing not only high protein, but more primarily oil. However, the quality of the soybean in China is not high at present, the market competitiveness is lacked, and a large amount of imported soybeans are needed. Therefore, the cultivation of new soybean varieties with high oil content and high protein content is an urgent task at present.
At present, the research work of improving the yield and the quality of soybeans in China mainly focuses on the field of conventional breeding, and molecular genetic improvement is still in the starting stage. The reason is mainly that: the soybean is tetraploid, and the genome is large; the soybean is difficult to establish a genetic transformation system; the soybean is difficult to establish a mutant library, and the construction process is complex. Therefore, the discovery and research of legume model plants are the key to solving this problem.
The medicago truncatula has the characteristics of small genome, self-pollination, easy genetic transformation and the like as leguminous model plants, so that the research on the development mechanism of the medicago truncatula seeds can not only enable people to better understand the development of the leguminous plant seeds, but also play a guiding role in improving the yield and the quality of soybeans in China.
WUSCHEL relatedhomeobox (WOX) family genes are a class of plant-specific transcription factors. The gene plays an important role in regulation and control in the key period of plant development, including the maintenance of stem and root apical stem cells, the establishment of embryonic development basal-apical axis polarity patterns, the development of lateral organs and the like (Schoof et al, 2000; van der Graaff et al, 2009; Ueda et al, 2011). The WOX11 gene is a member of the WOX family. Upon search, in Arabidopsis, WOX11 was involved in the generation of regenerated root organs. In rice, WOX11 regulates the growth and development of adventitious roots. However, the search finds that the nucleotide sequence and the amino acid sequence of the alfalfa WOX family gene Mt WUSCHEL relatedhomeobox 11(MtWOX11) are not reported, and the application of the gene in increasing the fatty acid content of seeds of leguminous plants is not reported.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention aims to provide a medicago truncatula WOX family gene Mt WUSCHEL relatedhomeobox 11(MtWOX11) and application thereof in increasing the fatty acid content of leguminous plant seeds.
The alfalfa WOX family gene Mt WUSCHEL relatedhomeobox 11(MtWOX11) of the invention is characterized in that: the gene is named as medicago truncatula MtWOX11 gene, and the nucleotide sequence of the gene is shown as SEQ ID No. 1.
The invention relates to an application of medicago truncatula MtWOX11 gene in improving the fatty acid content of leguminous plant seeds.
Wherein: the leguminous plant is preferably selected from herba Medicaginis, herba Medicaginis Tribuli, semen glycines, and herba Trifolii Pratentis.
The alfalfa MtWOX11 gene of the invention is used for constructing a plant overexpression vector, and plant transgenic operation is carried out to introduce the vector into plant cells, so as to obtain transgenic plants. Detection shows that the content of fatty acid in the obtained seeds of the transgenic plants is obviously improved. In order to facilitate the selection of transgenic plants or cell lines, plant expression vectors (pEARLYGATE103-MtWOX11) containing the gene MtWOX11 may be processed, for example, selection markers (GUS, etc.) or antibiotic markers having resistance (hygromycin, kanamycin, gentamicin, etc.) may be added.
Practically, any vector that can introduce a foreign gene into a plant for expression can be used, and a preferred vector of the present invention is pEARLYGATE 103.
The invention utilizes the disclosed medicago truncatula mutant library to obtain a knockout mutant strain of the MtWOX11 gene of the medicago truncatula through separation and screening, and utilizes primer sequences shown in SEQ ID No.2 and SEQ ID No.3 to clone the MtWOX11 gene from the medicago truncatula through RT-PCR technology by separating and researching the knockout mutant strain of the MtWOX11 gene of the medicago truncatula.
And (3) retrieval and display: the invention clones the medicago truncatula MtWOX11 gene and the coded amino acid sequence thereof for the first time, and obtains a transgenic plant over-expressing MtWOX11 by a genetic transformation method. This is the first time that the MtWOX11 gene was cloned and overexpressed in medicago truncatula. Transgenic line analysis proves that the fatty acid content of seeds of leguminous plants can be remarkably improved by over-expressing the gene (figure 4). The gene is proved to participate in regulating and controlling the fatty acid content of the seeds of the alfalfa of the leguminous plant, and the fatty acid content of the seeds of the transgenic plant can be obviously improved by carrying out the plant gene overexpression genetic transformation operation on the MtWOX11 gene of the alfalfa of tribulus. The gene of the invention is indicated to have wide application prospect. The application of the method can be used for improving the quality of beans or creating novel leguminous economic crops, and has great significance for the production of the leguminous economic crops in China.

Wherein: grey bar graph shows the ratio of fatty acid content in MtWOX11 mutant versus wild type seeds, black bar graph shows the ratio of fatty acid content in over-expressed MtWOX11 transgenic plants versus wild type seeds. Indicates significant difference, Anova Single Factor p <0.05, indicates very significant difference, Anova Single Factor p < 0.01.
The results show that the total fatty acid content in the seeds of the overexpression transgenic plants is increased by 12.2168% compared with the wild type, and particularly, the content of fatty acids such as C15.0 (pentadecanoic acid), C15.1 (cis-10-pentadecanoic acid), C16.0 (palmitic acid), C18.2N6C (linoleic acid), C20.2 (cis-11, 14-eicosadienoic acid), C20.3N6 (cis-8, 11, 14-eicosatrienoic acid), C20.4N6 (arachidonic acid), C20.5N3 (cis-5, 8, 11, 14, 17-eicosapentaenoic acid) and C24.0 (tetracosanoic acid) is reduced in the mutants, and is increased in the overexpression MtWOX11 transgenic lines, wherein the content of pentadecanoic acid is obviously increased.
The results prove that the MtWOX11 gene participates in regulating and controlling the content of the fatty acid in the seeds of leguminous plants, and the content of the fatty acid in the seeds can be obviously improved by over-expressing the gene. The MtWOX11 gene is predicted to have an important function in increasing the fatty acid content of leguminous seeds.
