Performing gene identification on the apple fruit samples of the test group and the control group by the same operation method as in example 1, and calculating the average expression level N of candidate genes of the test group of the apple fruit samples respectively as shown in FIG. 21Is 1.92 multiplied by 10-4And the average expression level N of candidate genes in the control group0Is 0.92X 10-4
Step 7, verification analysis of candidate genes
As the 'Daguofeng' apple is a large fruit sample verification test carrier and the candidate gene MdAux/IAAa is a negative expression and regulation gene, the phenotypic analysis data of the apple fruit samples of the experimental group and the control group obtained in the comparison step 5 can be seen, and the average transverse diameter D of the experimental group is1Smaller than the average transverse diameter D of the control group0The average longitudinal diameter H of the test group1Less than the mean longitudinal diameter H of the control group0Average monomer weight W of the test group1Less than the average monomer weight W of the control group0Meanwhile, comparing the gene expression quantity data of the apple fruit sample of the experimental group and the control group obtained in the step 6, the average expression quantity N of the candidate genes of the experimental group can be seen1Is larger than the average expression quantity N of the candidate genes in the control group0Based on the action relationship and change rule between the candidate gene MdAux/IAAa differential expression and the sample size of the apple fruit, the method can judgeThe candidate gene MdAux/IAAa has the function of regulating the size of apple fruits.
Example 3
A 'Longfeng' apple is taken as a verification test carrier, and a comparative test of infection effects of candidate genes MdAux/IAAa in different apple growth periods is carried out.
In the initial period of cell enlargement of apple fruit growth, 30 days after full bloom, 51 days after full bloom, 72 days after full bloom and 93 days after full bloom are respectively selected as injection test periods, 10 apple fruit samples are respectively selected in each injection test period, the selected apple fruit samples are respectively subjected to infection injection by adopting the same injection mode as the step 4 in the example 1, the integrity and the distribution condition of agrobacterium of the apple fruit samples are detected after 2 hours of injection, and the statistical conditions of the detected data are shown in table 1.
Figure 480679DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
Test results show that when agrobacterium is injected 51, 72 and 93 days after the full-bloom period, the quantity of the agrobacterium liquid which can be injected into each apple fruit sample is small on one hand due to high fruit hardness, and infiltration and effective diffusion of infection liquid are not easy on the other hand, and data show that the agrobacterium liquid is injected and infected in the infection period, the average infection proportion of the sample can only reach 40% of the fruit volume at most, and the requirements of a gene function verification test can not be met; moreover, because the fruit is brittle, the fruit cracking phenomenon can be caused by the change of internal stress after a small amount of injection of the agrobacterium liquid, the further growth of the fruit is influenced, and the gene function verification test cannot be continued.
Meanwhile, the experiment of the embodiment fully proves that the hardness of the fruits is proper relative to the hardness in the early stage and the late stage and the brittleness is proper, the mechanical resistance of the agrobacterium liquid injection and infection in the period is proper, the fruit cracking tendency is low, the permeability of the liquid is good, and the liquid can be uniformly distributed and permeate into the whole fruits under the condition of not moving a needle head, in the experiment of the embodiment, the cracking condition of the fruit sample does not occur in the apple fruit sample injected and infected in the period, the average infection rate of the fruit sample also reaches 100%, and the 30 days after full bloom is the optimal period for the apple fruit sample injection and infected, and is also a key technical link for realizing the technical scheme of the invention.
