Description

Application of cucumber CsSWEET5a gene and encoding protein thereof in regulation and control of plant pollen fertility
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to application of a cucumber CsSWEET5a gene and a coding protein thereof in regulating and controlling plant pollen fertility.
Background
Most plants complete a series of sexual processes through the flower organs to fertilize, fruiting, produce seeds, etc., to reproduce the offspring. Clearly, pollen (male germ cells of plants) development plays an extremely important role in plant ontogeny. Pollen generally takes days to complete from formation in anthers to development into mature pollen grains, and a large amount of sugar is required for the process, so that abnormal pollen development and even abortion can be caused if sugar supply occurs or the sugar transportation process is blocked, and the yield and quality of crop fruits or seeds are seriously reduced.
Pollen is a whole heterotrophic organ, sugar synthesized in leaves is transported to anthers through long distance, and is unloaded from anther tissues into pollen cells for pollen to grow and develop. Throughout pollen development, from its formation within the anther to its development into mature pollen grains, they have been devoid of intercellular fibrils with surrounding anther tissue, completely in a symplastically isolated state. Thus, sugar in anther tissue can only be offloaded into pollen cells via the apoplast pathway, a process involving the involvement of two types of sugar transporters: sugar in anther tissue is firstly excreted to apoplast between anther tissue and pollen cells by first type sugar transport proteins, which is the first key step in carrying out sugar unloading in apoplast pathway; next, sugar in the apoplast is taken up into pollen cells by a second type of sugar transporter. Three types of sugar transporters, SUT/SUC (sucrose transporter/cross carrier), MST (monosaccharide transporter) and SWEET (Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporter), were found in plants so far, only SWEET had the function of sugar excretion, and all three of SUT/SUC, MST and SWEET had the function of sugar absorption.
Cucumber is a worldwide important vegetable crop and is also one of main cultivated vegetable crops in China. Currently, 17 CsSWEET protein gene family members are identified in cucumber, but until now, there is no report that the CsSWEET protein gene family members of cucumber are involved in sugar supply in the pollen development process. Therefore, the function of the cucumber CsSWEET protein gene in regulating pollen fertility is revealed to have important significance for high quality and high yield of cucumber seeds and induction of male sterile lines for hybrid seed production.

In order to understand the expression condition of the CsSWEET5a gene in each tissue part of the cucumber, qRT-PCR analysis is carried out on each tissue part of the cucumber, and the method is specifically as follows:
1. material
The following materials were taken from cucumber C49 plants:
different tissue sites: female flowers (day of flowering, FF), mature leaves (L), male flowers (day of flowering (instant 13), MF), ovary (fruit 2 days before flowers, O), fruit 3 days after flowers (3 DAA), fruit 6 days after flowers (6 DAA), root (R), stem (S) and tendril (T) on the same cucumber plant.
Different developmental stages of male flower buds: male flowers at developmental stages 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 (i.e. day of flowering).
Different parts of male flower buds: the male flowers at developmental stages 11, 12 and 13 (day of flowering) were divided into four parts, petals, sepals, anthers and pollen.
Each of the above samples was taken in 3 biological replicates.

The results are shown in FIG. 1. The results showed that CsSWEET5a gene was specifically expressed in male flowers (day of flowering, i.e., period 13), and the expression levels in other parts (female flowers, leaves, ovaries, fruits, roots, stems and tendrils) were significantly lower than those in male flowers or undetectable (fig. 1 a). To further understand the expression change of CsSWEET5a gene in the development process of male flowers of cucumber, male flowers from the 9 th period to the 13 th period (day of flowering) (fig. 1B) were taken for expression analysis, and the result shows that the expression level of CsSWEET5a gene increases rapidly with the development of male flowers, reaches the highest value in the 11 th period, remains at a higher level in the 12 th period, and decreases rapidly from the 13 th period (fig. 1C), but the expression level of CsSWEET5a gene in the male flowers from the 13 th period is still much higher than that of female flowers, leaves, ovaries, fruits, roots, stems, tendrils and other tissue sites (fig. 1A). Next we sub-divided the male flowers at 11, 12 and 13 stages and analyzed the expression of CsSWEET5a gene in petals, sepals, anthers and pollen, which indicated that CsSWEET5a was expressed very high in anthers, especially pollen, while the expression in petals and sepals was relatively reduced (D in fig. 1). The above results indicate that CsSWEET5a gene specificity is expressed in cucumber male flower buds, especially highly expressed in anthers and pollen of male flower buds.
