Application of tobacco NtAAP6 gene in tobacco

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of gene function analysis of tobacco genomes, and particularly relates to tobaccoNtAAP6The gene is applied to tobacco.

Background

Amino acids, which are basic constituent units of enzymes and proteins, not only are carriers of organic nitrogen and precursors of important secondary metabolites in plants, but also play an important role in the growth and development of plants. Plants can assimilate inorganic nitrogen, which is present in the form of ammonium salts and nitrates, from the soil through the roots to produce amino acids, or can assimilate amino acids directly from the soil, or can autonomously synthesize amino acids in the leaves. The absorption and transport of amino acids in plants depends on amino acid transporters, which are located on biological membranes and are classified according to sequence homology and function as: APC super family (Amino acid, polyamine and Choline transporters super family) and ATF super family (Amino acid transporter family); the ATF superfamily is divided into 6 subfamilies, namely AAPs (amino acid catalysts), LHTs (lysine histone transporters), ProTs (proline transporters), gamma-GATs (gamma-aminobutyric transporters), ANTs (aromatic and neutral amino acid transporters) and AUX (antibiotic-resistant family), wherein the subfamilies of AAPs (amino acid catalysts) are relatively deeply studied.

Amino Acid Permeases (AAPs) were first discovered and isolated in Arabidopsis thalianaAAPs8 members of the Gene family: (AtAAP1～8) Mainly responsible for the transport of acidic and neutral amino acids, among themAtAAP1The gene is highly expressed in endosperm and cotyledon, is closely related to the transportation of glutamate and neutral amino acid at root, and can also influence the weight and quantity of plant seeds;AtAAP2andAtAAP3the expression level of the gene in the phloem of the stem and the root is higher, and the gene is responsible for the transportation of phloem amino acid;AtAAP5the gene is highly expressed mainly in the root cortex and mediates the transportation of arginine and lysine;AtAAP6the gene has high expression level at the root and is responsible for adjusting the components and the content of amino acid in the sieve tube molecules;AtAAP8the gene regulates the transport of amino acids into endosperm at the early stage of seed development.

For crops, the research on AAPs has been mainly focused on rice, but there are reports on crops such as corn and potato. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) with improved resistance to stressAAPsUp to 19 members of the gene family, among themOsAAP3The gene is related to the transport of lysine and arginine, and the inhibition of the expression of the gene can increase the spike number and tiller number of rice, thereby improving the utilization rate of nitrogen of the rice and increasing the yield;OsAAP6the gene participates in regulating and controlling the nutritional quality and the protein content of the rice. Pan et al discovered corn by yeast function complementation experimentZmAAP4The gene can regulate and controlTransport of amino acids, in particular, has a strong affinity for glutamate and proline. Koch et al discovered potatoes by RNAi techniqueStAAP1The gene plays an important role in the transport of amino acids from leaves to rhizomes.

In the prior art, against tobaccoNtAAPThe family gene research shows that the tobacco amino acid permeaseNtAAP2Gene (tobacco amino acid permease)NtAAP2Gene and application thereof, CN 201711351625.2) has important influence on the regulation of the content of part types of amino acids in tobacco leaves. However, whether other genes in the family have similar functions in tobacco needs to be further researched to be further determined.

When the specific screening and identification are carried out:

firstly, extracting the DNA of tobacco leaves to be identified, and taking the DNA as a template for PCR amplification;

subsequently, respectively utilizing the primer pair combination NtAAP3-K-F/NtAAP3-K-R, NtAAP6-K-F/NtAAP6-K-R to carry out first round PCR amplification, carrying out electrophoresis detection on PCR amplification products, and carrying out gel recovery on the amplification products;

finally, the first round PCR amplification product recovered by the gel is used as a template, a second round PCR amplification is respectively carried out on NtAAP3-JD-F/NtAAP3-K-R (NtAAP 3-JD-F: 5'-ATAACAGCTGTGATTGGTT-3') and NtAAP6-JD-F/NtAAP6-K-R (NtAAP 6-JD-F: 5'-ACTAACGGCAAGTGCACAT-3') by using a target specific primer, and the electrophoresis detection is carried out on the PCR amplification product.

Based on the second round amplification product results, if the product is less or no, the mutant is a potential homozygous mutant, and then the corresponding first round PCR product is clonally transformed and subjected to sequencing analysis to determine whether the mutant is a homozygous mutant.

The electrophoresis results of the first round PCR amplification products are shown in FIG. 5. It can be seen that the samples of the related gene editing mutants were amplified to obtain specific target bands.

The electrophoresis results of the second round PCR amplification products are shown in FIG. 6. It can be seen that the partially edited mutant samples had fewer PCR products and could be potential homozygous mutants for further characterization.

Further sequencing identification results show that the DNA aims atNtAAP3The result that a base substitution G → A occurred at the target site in the partial mutant sample of gene editing and the base substitution caused a change in the original amino acid sequence, resulting in loss of function of the NtAAP3 protein, indicates that a positive result was successfully obtainedNtAAP3Editing mutant tobacco seedlings by using genes; to aim atNtAAP6The results of gene sequencing showed that base substitution G → T occurred at a part of the target site, and that the base substitution caused a change in the original amino acid sequence, resulting in loss of function of the NtAAP6 protein, indicating that positive was successfully obtainedNtAAP6And (3) editing the mutant tobacco seedlings by using genes.

(IV) tobacco trait Change after Gene editing

Based on the homozygous mutant obtained by screening, field planting is carried out on Yuxi Yu Yunnan, and agronomic characters such as plant height, leaf number, stem circumference, pitch, maximum waist leaf length/width and the like are subjected to statistical analysis before and after the topping period.

In the planting process, the contents of protein, amino acid and pigment in the tobacco leaves of the editing mutant are synchronously detected (the content of the protein in the tobacco leaves of the tobacco leaves and the baked tobacco leaves is respectively measured by a continuous flow method according to the industry standard method of YC/T249-2008 tobacco and tobacco product protein measurement, the content of various amino acids is detected according to the industry standard method of YCT 282-2009 tobacco free amino acid measurement, and the contents of chlorophyll and carotenoid in the tobacco are detected according to the high performance liquid chromatography method of YC/T382-2010 tobacco and tobacco product plastid pigment measurement).

Meanwhile, in the planting process, an Imaging-PAM (polyacrylamide) -full-leaf fluorescence Imaging system is used for monitoring various photosynthetic physiological indexes of the gene editing mutant subjected to topping.

The following is a brief introduction of specific experimental results.

(1) Statistical results of agricultural characters of field

The statistical results of the agronomic traits of part of the fields are shown in fig. 7 and 8. As can be seen,NtAAP3a gene-editing mutant,NtAAP6The phenotype of the gene editing mutant related traits is similar, namely: the natural plant height and the knockout plant height of the gene-editing mutant were reduced compared with those of the control group (HD), presumably because ofNtAAP3Gene, gene,NtAAP6The mutation of the gene affects the amino acid transport and nitrogen metabolism, thereby reducing the total biological yield, but the length/width of the maximum waist leaf has no obvious change, and the total tobacco yield is not affected. In general, the agronomic characters of the gene editing mutant are more in line with the requirements of high-quality flue-cured tobacco.

(2) Tobacco leaf protein and amino acid content change

The results of measuring the total protein content and the amino acid content of the tobacco leaves after the gene editing mutants are baked are shown in fig. 9 and fig. 10. Analysis can see that: compared with the control group of safflower Honghuadajinyuan (HD),NtAAP3gene, gene,NtAAP6The total protein content of the tobacco leaves after the gene editing mutant is baked is reduced,NtAAP3the total protein content of the mutant was reduced by 19.8%,NtAAP6the total protein content of the mutant is reduced by 8.4%; the contents of tyrosine, proline and asparagine are lower than those of the control, wherein the reduction of proline and asparagine is particularly remarkable,NtAAP3the proline of the mutant is reduced by 19.0 percent, the asparagine is reduced by 68.1 percent,NtAAP6proline of the mutant is reduced by 36.3%, and asparagine is reduced by 62.9%; show thatNtAAP3Gene, gene,NtAAP6Mutation of the gene reduces the transport efficiency of amino acids and accumulation of proteins to some extent.

It should be explained that, in view of manufacturing of cigarette products, obtaining cigarette raw materials with low phenol release amount during smoking is a main technical objective of related variety improvement, and therefore, when the content of the amino acid is measured, only the flue-cured tobacco which is a direct raw material for preparing the cigarette products is taken as a standard, and the content of part of typical amino acids in the flue-cured tobacco is measured, so that the technical effects of the application can be more directly reflected.

(3) Physiological changes of photosynthesis

The photo-biological analysis results show that (the results are shown in figure 11, figure 12, figure 13 and figure 14),NtAAP3a gene-editing mutant,NtAAP6The related change trends of the gene editing mutants are consistent, and specifically: compared with the HD of the control group,NtAAP3a gene-editing mutant,NtAAP6The Fv/Fm values of the gene editing mutants under normal conditions are not obviously different, while the NPQ values are increased, which indicates thatNtAAP3Gene, gene,NtAAP6After the gene is edited, the photosynthetic efficiency of the plant is not greatly influenced, and the photoprotective capacity of the plant is improved.

Further, the measurement result under the strong light condition (60000-70000 Lux) shows that compared with the HD of the control group,NtAAP3a gene-editing mutant,NtAAP6The Fv/Fm and NPQ values of the gene editing mutant are obviously reduced under the condition of strong light hypochondrium. The photosynthetic efficiency of the plant is reasonably improved when the illumination is enhanced, and the plant also starts heat dissipation, namely a photoprotection mechanism, at the same timeNtAAP3A mutant,NtAAP6The Fv/Fm and NPQ values of the gene editing mutant do not increase or decrease reversely, which indicates that the gene is edited, the transport rate of amino acid is influenced, the photosynthetic efficiency of the plant is possibly reduced, and the photoprotective ability of the plant is weakened.

(4) Change in pigment content

The measurement results of different types of pigment contents (fresh tobacco leaves at harvest time) are shown in fig. 15, fig. 16, fig. 17 and fig. 18.NtAAP3A gene-editing mutant,NtAAP6The related change trends of the gene editing mutants are consistent, and specifically:NtAAP3a gene-editing mutant,NtAAP6The chlorophyll a/b, total chlorophyll and carotenoid content of the gene editing mutant are all increased, whereinNtAAP3The mutant has chlorophyll a increased by 10.5%, chlorophyll b increased by 17.5%, total chlorophyll increased by 12.6%, and carotenoid increased6.4%，NtAAP6The chlorophyll a, the total chlorophyll and the carotenoid of the mutant are respectively increased by 15.8%, 15.4%, 15.7% and 21.4%. This indicates that the mutation of the gene, although affecting amino acid transport and protein accumulation, did not reduce the pigment content of tobacco. The appearance and the internal quality of the tobacco leaves can be influenced by the content of the carotenoid, degradation and thermal cracking products of the carotenoid contain a plurality of aroma substances and are closely related to the aroma of the tobacco leaves, and the mutant also ensures the internal and external excellent quality of the tobacco leaves on the basis of reducing the content of amino acid and protein.

Amino acids are very important nitrogen-containing compounds in plants, play a very important role in the processes of growth, development, metabolic regulation and the like of plants, and amino acid transporters play an indispensable role in the process of amino acid transport in plants. Amino Acid Permeases (AAPs), a subfamily of amino acid transporters, are widely involved in the transport and absorption of amino acids in various tissues and organs throughout plant growth and development.

In the present application, through the above-mentioned pairsNtAAP3Gene, gene,NtAAP6The preliminary study of gene function can preliminarily confirm that:

NtAAP3the gene is highly expressed in leaves, and has direct influence on the transfer rate of amino acid after mutation, particularly obviously reduces the reduction of the content of amino acid such as proline, asparagine and the like, and further reduces the content of total protein; on the other hand, in the case of a liquid,NtAAP3the content of pigment substances such as chlorophyll a/b, total chlorophyll, carotenoid and the like in the mutant is obviously increased;

andNtAAP3the genes are similar to each other and can be used,NtAAP6the gene is highly expressed in roots and leaves, has direct influence on the transfer rate of amino acid after being mutated, and particularly obviously reduces the reduction of the content of amino acid such as proline, asparagine and the like, and further leads to the reduction of the content of total protein; on the other hand, in the case of a system,NtAAP6the content of pigment substances such as chlorophyll a/b, total chlorophyll, carotenoid and the like in the mutant is obviously increased.

Combining the results of the correlation assaysIn one step willNtAAP3AndNtAAP6the statistics of the changes in some components in the gene editing mutants are shown in table 1 below.

In the context of Table 1, the following examples are,NtAAP3andNtAAP6statistics of changes in Components of Gene editing mutants

Note: the change trends indicated by ↓and ↓ in the table with respect to the control.

In combination with the data in the table, it can be seen visually that:NtAAP3andNtAAP6in comparison between the gene-editing mutants,NtAAP3the reduction of total protein and asparagine of the mutant is larger than that of the mutantNtAAP6The mutant is a mutant of a microorganism,NtAAP3respectively isNtAAP62.36 times and 1.08 times of the total weight of the composition; chlorophyll b has higher amplification than that of chlorophyll bNtAAP6The mutant is a mutant of a microorganism,NtAAP3is increased byNtAAP61.14 times of. WhileNtAAP6The proline of the mutant is reduced more thanNtAAP3The mutant is a mutant of a microorganism,NtAAP6is reduced in amplitudeNtAAP31.91 times of; the chlorophyll a, total chlorophyll and carotenoid are increased more thanNtAAP3A mutant of a microorganism which is capable of expressing,NtAAP6respectively isNtAAP31.50 times, 1.25 times and 3.34 times of the total weight of the composition.

These data further show that it is possible to identify,NtAAP3andNtAAP6although genes perform similar functions in some respects, they are somewhat different.
