Example 3 cymbidiummiR390bFunctional characterization for controlling plant vegetative organ development

Obtaining of transgenic homozygous plants: the harvested transgenic T1 generation seeds are sterilized, screened and cultured, and then transplanted into nutrient soil to be cultured at 22 ℃ for 16 h in light/8 h in darkness; after detection, retaining the preliminarily confirmed transgenic plants, harvesting seeds of T1 generations after the plants are mature, and numbering to obtain T2 generations; like the T1 generation, seeds of the T2 generation are sterilized and then coated on a screening culture medium containing antibiotics, and the culture medium is placed at 22 ℃ for continuous illumination; performing survival rate statistics on T2 generation seeds with different numbers for about 10 days, selecting plants with survival rate of 75% for transplantation, culturing in nutrient soil at 22 ℃ for 16 h in light/8 h in dark, and taking leaves for positive detection; continuously numbering positive T2 generation plants, and collecting seeds to obtain T3 generation seeds; sterilizing the seeds, screening by using a screening culture medium, and placing under the light for continuous illumination culture; around 10 days, different numbered T3 generation plants were observed, all survived and no segregating T3 homozygous plants appeared.

Selecting a transgenic plant with an obvious phenotype for observation, and finding that compared with a wild type, the juvenile period of the transgenic arabidopsis plant is shortened, and the transgenic arabidopsis plant is bolting when transplanted into soil and grows for 18 days, but the development of branches and leaves is slower, as shown in fig. 5A; on the 30 th day of soil transfer, the number of the extracted lateral branches is obviously more than that of the wild type, partial apical dominance of the extracted lateral branches is weakened or even lost, and the number of leaves of the extracted branches is increased, as shown in fig. 5B.

This example will turn to cymbidium35S:MIR390bArabidopsis plants were screened, cultured and T3 homozygous plants were obtained for phenotypic observation and analysis. As can be seen from the results, overexpression35S:MIR390bThe T3 generation homozygous plant of Arabidopsis has the phenotype of short juvenile period, weakened top end advantages of part, luxuriant lateral branches, increased number of leaves under the lateral branches and the like.
