Example 2

Analysis of NtEIJ Gene expression Pattern after tobacco seed bacterial wilt

Bacterial wilt disease is carried out on tobacco cultivar K326 plants. Root injury treatment is carried out before bacterial wilt pathogen inoculation. The root injury treatment is specifically implemented by transplanting tobacco seedlings which are cultivated indoors to a three-leaf-one-heart size into a seedling pot with a caliber of 9cm, and then inoculating bacterial wilt when the tobacco seedlings are cultivated to four-leaf-one-heart sizes. Before the preparation and the bacterial wilt are used for treating tobacco plants, root injury pretreatment is carried out, namely, one third of the tobacco roots are cut off by sharp scissors and then transplanted into a flowerpot again. The bacterial wilt specific inoculation method and process are that the preserved bacterial wilt strain CQPS-1 is taken out from a refrigerator with ultralow temperature of minus 80 ℃, NB culture medium is prepared, bacterial wilt is inoculated on an ultra-clean workbench, and the bacterial wilt is cultured at 28 ℃/220rpm overnight. And (3) inoculating 10mL of bacterial suspension with the concentration of about 108cfu/mL at the periphery of the root of each tobacco seedling by adopting a root irrigation inoculation method. And (3) regulating the environment temperature to 30 ℃ and regulating the environment humidity to 80% for culture. Subsequently, a disease investigation was performed and the propagation of ralstonia solanacearum in tobacco roots was examined after 0, 2, 4, 6 days, respectively. The method of example 1 was used to extract RNA from roots of diseased tobacco and to extract RNA from roots of non-diseased tobacco at the same time as the control. The extracted RNA was reverse transcribed to obtain cDNA, and the cDNA was used as a template (reverse transcription procedure was the same as in example 1) for real-time quantitative PCR detection using NtEIJ's 1 specific primer, the primer sequences were as follows:

The real-time quantitative primer F TTAATCGATTTGTAACGCCCAG is shown as SEQ ID NO.5,

Real-time quantitative primer R CCATGCGTTCAACAAAGTTAGA shown as SEQ ID NO.6

The results showed that NtEIJ gene expression was significantly up-regulated 6 days after bacterial wilt inoculation (fig. 2), approximately 86.5 times that of the control.

Example 3

Using the NtEIJ gene obtained in example 1, the inventors further constructed an over-expression vector pCHF-NtEIJ 1 for transformation, and related procedures are briefly described below.

The amplification primer of NtEIJ gene was ligated with the Sac I cleavage site linker sequence of pCHF plasmid and synthesized by referring to the In-fusion seamless ligation protocol of Clontech, inc. The sequences are as follows, with the linker sequence of the vector underlined:

5'-AGAACACGGGGGACGAGCTCATGGCAAGTAGCAGTACTTGTA-3', shown as SEQ ID NO. 7;

R is 5'-GATCCCCGGGTACCGAGCTCTTACTCCTTGGTAATAGGAGGA-3' as shown in SEQ ID NO. 8.

Mu.l; ntEIJ1 Gene amplification product 4. Mu.L; at 50℃for 15min, put on ice for the next transformation. The connection product is transformed into escherichia coli competent cells by adopting a heat shock method, and the specific process is as follows: adding 2 μl of the ligation product into competent cells under aseptic conditions, gently mixing, and ice-bathing for 30min; heat shock at 42 ℃ for 90s, rapidly transferring the centrifuge tube into an ice bath, and placing for 2-3min; 800 μl of LB culture medium without antibiotics is added, and the shaking table is gently shaken for about 1h at 37 ℃; 200 μl of the culture broth was applied to LB solid medium containing 100 μg/ml spectinomycin, and cultured upside down at 37℃for 12-16h.

White bacterial plaques grow in the culture medium, the white bacterial plaques are inoculated into LB liquid culture medium containing 100 mug/ml spectinomycin for 12-16 hours of shaking culture, and PCR verification is carried out by using self primers and carrier primers, wherein the sequences of the primers are as follows:

self primer: GGTGACAATATGCTCTGTCA as shown in SEQ ID NO. 9;

Example 4

The pCHF-NtEIJ 1 vector prepared in example 3 was transformed into Agrobacterium GV3101 (purchased from Beijing full gold Biotechnology Co., ltd.) by a heat shock method, and single colonies were selected for PCR verification to confirm successful transformation of the expression vector pCHF 3-NtEIJ.

Transforming tobacco plants:

the transgenic tobacco plants are obtained by adopting an agrobacterium-mediated leaf disc transformation method, and the specific steps are as follows:

1. Culturing aseptic seedlings: taking a proper amount of K326 seeds, sterilizing the surfaces of the seeds with 75% alcohol for 30 seconds, cleaning the seeds with sterile water for 3 times, soaking the seeds with 15% hydrogen peroxide for 8 minutes, cleaning the seeds with sterile water for 3 times, and soaking the seeds in the sterile water for 24 hours. The sterilized seeds are sown on an MS culture dish, after 3 leaves grow out, seedlings are transferred into a tissue culture bottle containing MS for culture, and the seedlings are cultured for about 45 days in a climatic chamber, and the strong leaves are selected for agrobacterium infection.

2. Infection with agrobacterium: the correctly identified and preserved agrobacteria liquid is taken out, after complete thawing, 500uL is sucked into 50mL YEP liquid culture medium with corresponding resistance, and cultured at 28 ℃/220rpm until OD ₆₀₀ is 0.6. 50mL of the bacterial liquid was centrifuged at 4000rpm for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was removed. The cells were collected and resuspended to an OD ₆₀₀ of 0.6, and AS was then added at a final concentration of 20mg/L for infection. The edges of the leaves of the aseptic seedlings are cut off, and leaf discs which are cut into 1cm ² along the main leaf veins are placed into agrobacterium infection liquid for 5 minutes.

3. Co-culture and subculture: fishing out the infected leaves, sucking the agrobacterium with filter paper, spreading the leaves on a co-culture medium downwards, and placing the leaves in a climatic chamber for dark culture for 3 days. S1, subculture: leaf surfaces of leaves which are co-cultured for 3 days are upwards transferred into an S1 differentiation culture medium, and the leaves are transferred to illumination for continuous culture in a dark culture room for about 1 week until cluster buds of about 0.5cm grow on the edge of the leaves. S2, subculture: transferring the clump buds growing on the S1 to an S2 differentiation medium, removing leaf parts without clump buds, and culturing for 2 weeks by illumination until clump buds grow into seedlings. S3, subculturing: the plantlets on S2 were transferred to S3 differentiation medium and light cultured for 2 weeks. Rooting culture: removing the swelling part and yellowing leaves at the bottom of the young seedling, transferring the young seedling into a tissue culture bottle containing a rooting culture medium, and culturing for 2 weeks under illumination.

4. Obtaining transgenic tobacco: when the seedlings grow about 8 roots with the length of about 3cm, the cover of the culture flask is opened to exercise the seedlings. After 3 days, the seedlings are transferred into a flowerpot filled with sterile soil, covered with a plastic film and kept warm. And removing the preservative film after one week to enable the preservative film to grow rapidly under natural conditions.

5. Positive identification of transgenic tobacco: the obtained total RNA of transgenic tobacco was extracted and subjected to reverse transcription to obtain cDNA according to the method of example 1. Real-time quantitative PCR detection was performed using the specific primers for NtEIJ gene in example 2. The results showed that the amount of NtEIJ gene expression in two transgenic tobacco strains, OE1 and OE4, was significantly increased compared to the control (control refers to a plant not transformed with agrobacterium), 103.4 and 121.6 times the control, respectively (fig. 3).

Identification of bacterial wilt resistance

Positive plants OE1 and OE4 of the above-mentioned pCHF-NtEIJ 1 tobacco were transferred to greenhouse culture, selfed and transgenic seeds were collected. Meanwhile, tobacco K326 with pCHF empty vector is used as a control for subsequent identification of bacterial wilt resistance.

When the plants grow to 45 days, bacterial wilt inoculation and investigation methods are adopted, wherein bacterial wilt inoculation and investigation methods are adopted, ntEIJ gene over-expression tobacco plants and pCHF empty vector-transferred tobacco control plants are respectively subjected to bacterial wilt inoculation treatment, and the disease condition of the plants is observed after 6 days. As shown in FIG. 4, ntEIJ gene over-expressed tobacco plants had significant resistance to bacterial wilt compared to the control. Meanwhile, from the propagation condition of the bacterial wilt in the tobacco root, the bacterial wilt propagation rate of the tobacco plant root with NtEIJ gene over-expression is obviously slower than that of the control (figure 5). Taken together, it is shown that over-expression NtEIJ gene in tobacco has obvious enhancement effect on tobacco bacterial wilt resistance.
