Abstract

The invention relates to a corn gene 'dwarf 20' and a coding protein thereof. The invention also researches the application of the gene.

Description

Dwarf 20 protein, coding gene and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a maize gene 'dwarf 20' and a protein coded by the maize gene. The invention also relates to a method for obtaining the 'dwarf 20' transgenic plant and the function of the gene and the protein in the growth and development of the plant.
Background
"dwarf 20" encodes an IRE/NPH/phosphoinositide-dependent/ribosomal protein S6 kinase. The gene is specifically expressed in maize anther. No relevant research report of the gene in the corn is found at present.
Homologous gene AT1G51170.1 in Arabidopsis encodes an active AGC-VIII protein kinase that interacts with the putative transcription factor ATS, AGC2-3 regulates planar growth during ovule integumentary development. Mutants exhibit ectopic growth of filaments and petals, as well as abnormal embryogenesis. Balaji et al [1] It has been demonstrated that the AGC VIII protein kinase UNICORN (UCN) of Arabidopsis maintains planar growth by inhibiting the formation of ectopic multicellular processes in several floral tissues, including integuments. UCN encodes an AGC-active kinase, controlled by direct interaction with ABERRANT TESTA SHAPE (ATS) which is one of the transcription factor KANADI (KAN) family members, and inhibition of its activity (Balaji et al) [2] ,2013)。
The homologous gene LOC _ Os08g39460.1 in rice encodes an AGC kinase, Ana et al found important roles in regulating plant growth, immunity and cell death, and a link to stress-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling cascade (Ana et al) [3] ,2012). For example, Matsui et al studied the interaction of the AGC kinase Osoxi1 with OsPti1a, and showed that the interaction between the two positively regulated the basal disease resistance of rice. In eukaryotes, AGC kinase family proteins are regulated by 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1(Pdk 1). Therefore, the research shows that OsPdk1 can be used for carrying out cascade phosphorylation through Osoxi1-OsPti1a to positively regulate and control the basic disease resistance of rice (Matsui et al) [4] ,2010)。
Therefore, the gene is probably related to the growth and development of plant reproductive organs and is involved in plant stress resistance pathways such as disease resistance and the like, and further research and confirmation are needed for the specific function of the gene in the corn.

In a preferred embodiment, the plant is selected from the group consisting of maize (Zea mays), oilseed rape (Brassica napus), turnip (Brassica rapa), mustard (Brassica juncea), alfalfa (Medicago sativa), rice (Oryza sativa), rye (Secale cereale), Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor, Sorghum vulgare), pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), yellow rice (Panicum militicum), millet (Setaria italica), finger millet (Eleusines corana), sunflower (Helnthhus annuus), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius), wheat (Triticum aestivum), soybean (Glycine max), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), potato (Solanum tuberosum), peanut (Arachis hypocoea), cotton (Gossypium barbadense), Gossypium hirsutum (Gossypium hirsutum), sweet potato (Ipomoea batatus), cassava (Manihot esculenta), beet (Beta vulgaris), sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), oat (Avena sativa), barley (Hordeum vulgare), and Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis thaliana); more preferably, the plant of the invention is selected from arabidopsis thaliana or maize.
As used herein, the term "plant" includes whole plants, transgenic plants, meristematic tissues, shoot organs/structures (e.g., leaves, stems and tubers), roots, flowers and floral organs/structures (e.g., bracts, sepals, petals, stamens, carpels, anthers and ovules), seeds (including embryos, endosperms and seed coats) and fruits (mature ovaries), plant tissues (e.g., vascular tissue, basal tissue, etc.) and cells (e.g., guard cells, egg cells, pollen, mesophyll cells, etc.) and progeny thereof. The class of plants useful in the present invention is generally as broad as the class of higher or lower plants that can be treated by transformation and breeding techniques, including angiosperms (monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants), gymnosperms, ferns, equisetum, gymnosperms, lycopodium, bryophytes, and multicellular algae.
As used herein, the term "transgene" refers to a nucleotide molecule that is artificially introduced into the genome of a host cell. Such a transgene may be heterologous to the host cell. As used herein, "transgenic plant" refers to a plant whose genome has been altered by the stable integration of recombinant DNA. Transgenic plants include plants regenerated from the originally transformed plant cells and progeny transgenic plants from subsequent generation or crossing of the transgenic plants.
As used herein, "control plant" refers to a plant that does not contain recombinant DNA that alters a trait. Control plants are used to identify and screen transgenic plants having altered traits. Suitable control plants may be non-transgenic plants which are used to generate the parental lines of the transgenic plants, e.g. wild-type plants which do not contain the corresponding recombinant DNA. Suitable control plants may also be transgenic plants containing recombinant DNA conferring other traits, for example, transgenic plants with enhanced herbicide tolerance.
As used herein, a "trait" is a physiological, morphological, biochemical or physical characteristic of a plant or a particular plant material or cell. In some cases, the characteristic is visible to the human eye, such as seed or plant size, or can be measured by biochemical techniques (such as detecting protein, starch, metabolite, or oil content of seed or leaf) or by observing metabolic or physiological processes (such as by measuring tolerance to water deprivation or specific salt or sugar concentrations) or by measuring the expression level of one or more genes (by using Northern Blotting, Western Blotting, RT-PCR, microarray gene expression assays, or reporter gene expression systems) or by agricultural observations (such as hyperosmotic stress tolerance and yield). Any technique can be used to measure the amount, comparative level, or difference of any selected chemical compound or macromolecule in the transgenic plant.
A trait of particular economic interest is increased yield. Yield is generally defined as the measurable production of economic value from a crop. This may be defined in terms of quantity and/or quality. Yield is directly dependent on several factors, e.g., the number and size of organs, plant architecture (e.g., number of branches), seed production, leaf senescence, etc. Root development, nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, etc. may also be important factors in determining yield. In the case of crop plants, such as corn, rice, etc., yield means the amount of grain harvested, and particle size and grain weight traits are critical in determining yield. Therefore, increasing the particle size and the particle weight are important for increasing the yield of crops.
As used herein, the term "nucleic acid" refers to any polymer comprising deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides, including but not limited to modified or unmodified DNA, RNA, and the length thereof is not limited in any way. For the nucleic acid used to construct the recombinant construct, preferably DNA, it is more stable and easier to manipulate than RNA.
The term "DNA" refers to a double-stranded DNA molecule of genomic or synthetic origin, i.e., a polymer of deoxyribonucleotide bases or a nucleotide molecule, reading from the 5 'end (upstream) to the 3' end (downstream). The term "nucleotide sequence" refers to the sequence of nucleotides of a DNA or RNA molecule that is typically shown from the 5 '(upstream) end to the 3' (downstream) end.
Methods known to those skilled in the art can be used to isolate and describe the DNA molecules or fragments thereof described herein. For example, PCR (polymerase chain reaction) techniques can be used to amplify a particular starting DNA molecule and/or to generate variants of the original molecule. The DNA molecule or fragment thereof may also be obtained by other techniques, such as direct synthesis of the fragment by chemical means (e.g., an automated oligonucleotide synthesizer).
As used herein, the term "isolated" refers to a molecule that is at least partially separated from other molecules with which it is normally associated in its natural or native state. In some embodiments, the term "isolated nucleic acid molecule" or "isolated DNA molecule" refers to a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., a DNA molecule) that is at least partially separated from the nucleic acid that normally flanks the gene or DNA molecule in its natural or native state. Thus, a nucleic acid molecule fused by recombinant techniques to regulatory or coding sequences normally unrelated thereto is considered herein to be isolated. Even when integrated into the chromosome of the host cell or present in nucleic acid solution with other DNA molecules, the molecules are considered isolated.
As used herein, a "polypeptide" comprises a plurality of consecutive polymerized amino acid residues, for example, at least about 15 consecutive polymerized amino acid residues. Typically a polypeptide comprises a series of polymeric amino acid residues that are transcriptional modulators or domains or portions or fragments thereof. Further, the polypeptide may comprise: (i) a localization domain; (ii) an activation domain; (iii) an inhibitory domain; (iv) an oligomerization domain; (v) a protein-protein interaction domain; (vi) a DNA binding domain; or other parts. The polypeptide optionally comprises modified amino acid residues, naturally occurring amino acid residues not encoded by codons, non-naturally occurring amino acid residues. As used herein, "protein" refers to a series of amino acids, oligopeptides, peptides, polypeptides, or portions thereof, whether naturally occurring or synthetic.
The term "isolated polypeptide", whether naturally occurring or recombinant, refers to a polypeptide that is present in the cell (or extracellularly) in an amount that is higher than the polypeptide in its native state in the wild-type cell, e.g., in an amount of greater than about 5% or greater than about 10% or greater than about 20% or greater than about 50% or greater, i.e., alternatively expressed as: the content is 105%, 110%, 120%, 150% or more with respect to the wild-type polypeptide normalized at 100%. This is not the result of the natural response of wild type plants. In addition, the isolated polypeptide is separated from other normally associated cellular components, for example, using various protein purification methods.
As used herein, the term "stringent conditions" are those described by Sambrook et al (1989) and Haymes, et al: Nucleic Acid Hybridization, A Practical Approach, IRL Press, Washington, DC (1985). Suitable stringency conditions for promoting DNA hybridization, for example, 6.0 Xsodium chloride/sodium citrate (SSC), about 45 ℃, followed by a wash with 2.0 XSSC at 50 ℃, are known to those skilled in the art, or can be found in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, N.Y. (1989), 6.3.1-6.3.6. For example, the salt concentration in the washing step can be selected from a low stringency of about 2.0 XSSC at 50 ℃ to a high stringency of about 0.2 XSSC at 50 ℃. In addition, the temperature in the washing step can be increased from room temperature, low stringency conditions of about 22 ℃ to high stringency conditions of about 65 ℃. Both temperature and salt can be varied, or temperature or salt concentration can be held constant while the other variable is changed. For example, moderately stringent conditions are about 2.0 XSSC and about 65 ℃.
In one aspect of the invention, an isolated nucleic acid molecule of the invention comprises the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO. 3. In another aspect of the invention, an isolated nucleic acid molecule of the invention has 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 98.5%, 99% and 99.5% sequence identity to the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO. 3. In some embodiments, the isolated nucleic acid molecule of the invention is 95% 96%, 97%, 98%, 98.5%, 99% and 99.5% identical to the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID No. 3.
The term "percent identity" or "% identity" is a comparison between amino acid sequences or nucleotides, as determined by a comparison between two sequences that are optimally matched over a comparison window. The person skilled in the art knows how to calculate the percentage identity between two sequences and there are many tools available (e.g.Clustal, Bestfit, Blast, Fasta, etc. software). One of the two sequences may have insertions, substitutions and/or deletions of one or more amino acids or nucleotides relative to the other sequence.
In the vector, the gene of the invention is typically operably linked to a promoter, a terminator and/or any other sequence necessary for its expression in yeast.
The terms "operably linked" and "operably linked" are used interchangeably and refer to a functional linkage between elements that enable expression of a gene, and optionally, the regulatory (5 'and 3' regulatory sequences) and sequences of a reporter gene that these elements control. The skilled person knows how to select promoters, terminators and other regulatory sequences required for expression of a gene.
As used herein, the term "promoter" generally refers to a DNA molecule that is involved in the recognition and binding of RNA polymerase II and other proteins (trans-acting transcription factors) to initiate transcription. In some embodiments, the promoter may be initially isolated from the 5 'untranslated region (5' UTR) of the genomic copy of the gene; alternatively, the promoter may be a synthetically produced or manipulated DNA molecule. In some embodiments, the promoter may also be chimeric, i.e., a promoter produced by the fusion of two or more heterologous DNA molecules. Plant promoters include promoter DNA obtained from plants, plant viruses, fungi, and bacteria (e.g., Agrobacterium). In some embodiments, the promoter is a developmentally-regulated, organelle-specific, tissue-specific, inducible, constitutive, or cell-specific promoter. In some specific embodiments, the expression of a gene is controlled by a so-called "strong" promoter (i.e., a promoter with high transcription potential such that the gene is strongly expressed).
The isolated nucleic acid molecules of the invention also comprise variant sequences which are derived from the sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 3 by deletion, substitution, insertion and/or addition of one or more nucleotides.
As described above, one or more nucleotides or amino acids may be "inserted", "deleted", "substituted" or "added", wherein the insertion, deletion, substitution and/or addition does not impair the function of the original sequence (e.g., as used herein, it is intended to refer to a function which still maintains the function of regulating plant growth or regulating plant stress resistance). The skilled person is aware of methods for performing one or more nucleotide/amino acid insertions, deletions and/or substitutions in the original sequence while preserving the biological function of the original sequence. For example, selecting for such insertions, deletions, additions, substitutions and/or in non-conserved regions; or modifying a nucleotide by "silent variation" based on the degeneracy of the genetic code without altering the polypeptide encoded by the nucleotide; alternatively, one amino acid in a protein may be replaced by another amino acid of similar nature by a "conservative substitution" without affecting the biological function of the protein.
Conservative substitutions may occur within the following groups: 1) acidic (negatively charged) amino acids such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid; 2) basic (positively charged) amino acids, such as arginine, histidine and lysine; 3) neutral polar amino acids such as glycine, serine, threonine, cysteine, tyrosine, asparagine, and glutamine; and 4) neutral nonpolar (hydrophobic) amino acids such as alanine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, proline, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and methionine. Conservative substitutions for amino acids within a native protein or polypeptide may be selected from other members of the group to which the naturally occurring amino acid belongs. For example, the group of amino acids having aliphatic side chains is glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine; the amino acid group with aliphatic-hydroxyl side chains is serine and threonine; the amino acid group having amide-containing side chains is asparagine and glutamine; the group of amino acids with aromatic side chains is phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan; the amino acid group with basic side chains is lysine, arginine and histidine; and the group of amino acids with sulfur-containing side chains are cysteine and methionine. The natural conservative amino acid substitution set is: valine-leucine, valine-isoleucine, phenylalanine-tyrosine, lysine-arginine, alanine valine, aspartic acid-glutamic acid, and asparagine-glutamine.
As used herein, "mutation" refers to a sudden and heritable variation in a genomic DNA molecule. At the molecular level, genetic mutation means a change in the sequence of the arrangement of base pair composition or structure. The generation of the gene mutation may be spontaneous or induced. Methods for artificially inducing gene mutations include physical factors (e.g., gamma rays, x-rays, UV, neutron beam, etc.), chemical factors (e.g., alkylating agents, base analogs, antibiotics, etc.), and biological factors (e.g., certain viruses, bacteria, etc.). In addition, recombinant DNA techniques can be used to introduce specific variations at a given site in a DNA molecule for site-directed mutagenesis. Any of these well-known mutagenesis methods may be used by those skilled in the art to obtain variant sequences of the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 3 comprising deletions, substitutions, insertions and/or additions of one or more nucleotides.
As used herein, the term "recombinant" refers to a form of DNA and/or protein and/or organism that does not normally occur in nature and is therefore produced by human intervention. Such human intervention may result in recombinant DNA molecules and/or recombinant plants. As used herein, a "recombinant DNA molecule" is a DNA molecule that comprises a combination of DNA molecules that do not naturally occur together and that are the result of human intervention, e.g., a DNA molecule comprising a combination of: at least two DNA molecules heterologous to each other, and/or DNA molecules which are artificially synthesized and comprise a polynucleotide sequence derived from a polynucleotide sequence which is usually present in nature, and/or DNA molecules which comprise a transgene which is artificially introduced into the genomic DNA of a host cell and the associated flanking DNA of the genome of the host cell. An example of a recombinant DNA molecule is a DNA molecule described herein that results from the insertion of a gene into the genome of maize, which can ultimately result in the transcription of a recombinant RNA in an organism and/or the expression of a polypeptide or protein in that organism.
As used herein, "host cell" refers to a cell that contains a recombinant vector and supports replication and/or expression of the expression vector.

Small knot
The dwarf 20 gene can obviously reduce the plant height and the ear position of the corn, and can keep the leaf number and the flowering phase of the corn unchanged under the condition of reducing the plant height, so that the photosynthesis efficiency of the corn is not reduced under the condition of reducing the plant height, the accumulation requirement of grain filling is ensured, and the yield can not be obviously reduced under the normal density.
The "short 20" can significantly shorten the internode distance, and since the substutural internode distance shortening is more significant than the suprapanicular internode distance shortening, the reduction in ear position is more significant than the reduction in plant height. The plant height and the ear position are reduced, the ear position is reduced more obviously, the plant type has strong lodging resistance, the plant type can improve the planting density of the corn without causing lodging, and the yield is improved by increasing the density. The dwarf corn can be lower than the lodging rate of the high-stalk corn under the condition of the same infection of the stem rot, thereby avoiding yield loss and reducing the harvesting cost.
The short 20 gene can ensure that farmers can enter the corn field to operate in the whole growing season after the corn is dwarfed, and the time window of fertilizing and preventing and treating plant diseases and insect pests is enlarged, thereby improving the yield and reducing the capital investment of large-scale overhead pesticide sprayers. After the dwarf 20 gene dwarfs the corn, a seed company can more easily perform emasculation on large-scale seed production, thereby remarkably reducing the labor cost of seed production.
The invention has been described in detail with reference to specific embodiments and examples, but modifications and improvements can be made on the basis of the invention. Accordingly, such modifications and improvements are intended to be within the scope of the invention as claimed.
