Description

Method, system and application for inhibiting expression of endogenous genes of blueberry fruits
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of plant genetic engineering, relates to a method, a system and application for inhibiting endogenous gene expression of blueberry fruits, and particularly relates to a method, a system and application for inhibiting endogenous blueberry ACO1 gene expression.
Background
Blueberries (Latin: Vaccinium Spp. English: Blueberry), also known as Vaccinium myrtillus and blueberries, belong to the Ericaceae (Ericaceae) Vaccinium subfamily (Vaccinioideae) plant genus Vaccinium. The blueberry is rich in nutrition, not only is rich in conventional nutrient components, but also contains extremely rich flavonoid and polysaccharide compounds. The blueberry fruit contains the functional substances for preventing cranial nerve aging, enhancing cardiac function, improving eyesight, resisting cancer and the like. The late maturity of the blueberries is realized by inhibiting the expression of genes related to the maturation of the blueberries, so that the mass maturation of the blueberries is avoided, and the blueberry mature-preventing agent has a series of industrial values for storage and picking of the blueberries.
Fruit ripening, senescence and quality development are complex processes, which are the result of the combined action of multiple factors, such as genetics and environment, wherein hormone regulation is one of the important factors for regulating fruit ripening and quality. Ethylene, one of the five major plant hormones, is a structurally simple organic molecule with complex biological functions, which affects the growth and development of higher plants, including promoting fruit ripening, flower senescence, petal and leaf abscission, inhibiting the elongation of the stems of most dicotyledonous plants, stimulating root development, and the like. Ethylene also plays an important role in plant response to biotic and abiotic stresses, including pathogen invasion, water immersion, cold injury, mechanical injury, and the like. The biosynthetic pathway for ethylene in higher plants has been demonstrated by Yarg and Hoffman, the first step being the conversion of s-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to ACC catalyzed by 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthetase (ACS), followed by the oxidation of ACC by ACC oxidase (ACO) to form ethylene, which is involved in plant growth and development, and thus, the ACO gene is a key gene for ethylene synthesis.
Transient transfection is one of the ways to introduce DNA into eukaryotic cells. In transient transfection, recombinant DNA is introduced into a highly infectious cell line to obtain transient and high-level expression of the gene of interest. At present, the common transient expression method in fruits is an injection method, but the method is mostly suitable for fruits with soft pulp, such as tomatoes, strawberries and the like.
Because the cell combination of blueberry fruits is too tight, the structure and the characteristics of the fruits are different from those of the fruits studied in the past, and the transient expression method for common fruits is not suitable for the blueberry fruits, so the method of needle injection is not feasible.
Since agrobacterium can only infect cells at the wound of plant tissue in the presence of a specific induction factor, and the infection is directly carried out by using an injection mode in the researches, the infection efficiency is severely limited. Subsequent research work has higher requirements on the transient transfection efficiency in blueberry fruits, so that the demand of an efficient transient transfection method for blueberry fruits is very urgent.
