According to the invention, the natural mutant is screened to obtain the TaNAC22-A1 mutant plant, and the result shows that the inflorescence morphology of the gene mutant plant is changed, the number of flowers in wheat ears is obviously increased, and the gene mutant plant plays a role in the number of flowers. Then constructing a CRISPR gene knockout vector of TaNAC22-A1, transforming wheat wild type field (WT) by using an agrobacterium inflorescence infection method to obtain a gene knockout plant, wherein an analysis result shows that the TaNAC22-A1-CR mutant strain can improve the number of flowers in wheat ears relative to the wild type under the normal growth condition, thereby providing gene resources for crop high-yield molecular breeding.
Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to application of a TaNAC22-A1 gene in negative regulation of the number of flowers in wheat ears.
Background
The number of flowers is one of the key factors in determining wheat yield during the development of wheat ears. In the growth cycle of wheat, the spike differentiation stage is a very important period, which is directly related to the fruiting and final yield of wheat. The ear development process comprises the key steps of ear differentiation, floret differentiation, pollen mother cell meiosis, pollen enrichment and the like. The number of flowers directly affects the number of grains per spike of wheat, which in turn affects overall yield. In general, the more flowers per ear, the more kernels theoretically can be formed, and thus it is possible to increase the yield per plant and unit area.
Wheat is one of the important food crops worldwide, and the yield of the wheat is directly related to the development of food safety and agricultural economy. Wheat is a major component of the people's daily diet in many countries, especially developing countries, providing a large amount of carbohydrates, proteins, and essential vitamins and minerals. Therefore, ensuring high and stable wheat yield is important to ensuring national nutrition demand and promoting social and economic stability. Wheat is also a main ration crop in China, and has important significance for ensuring high and stable yield. The ear structure of wheat has a decisive influence on the yield and quality of wheat. Improving the development structure of wheat ears can increase the yield, and improving the inflorescence structure can increase the effective number of ears and flowers per ear, thereby increasing the number of seeds per ear. This has an important meaning for improving the yield per unit area; the quality can be improved, and the inflorescence improvement can also improve the uniformity and the fullness degree of the seeds, so that the quality of wheat is improved. This is particularly important to meet different food processing requirements and to improve flour quality; the adaptability can be enhanced, the improved inflorescences can better adapt to adverse environmental conditions such as drought, high temperature and the like, the phenomenon of sterility or empty shell caused by stress is reduced, and the stability of the yield is ensured; the disease and insect resistance can be improved, the improvement of inflorescences is beneficial to improving the resistance of wheat to diseases and insect pests, the use of pesticides is reduced, the production cost is reduced, and the method is environment-friendly; meanwhile, the resource utilization efficiency can be improved, the utilization efficiency of wheat to illumination, moisture and nutrients can be improved by optimizing the inflorescence structure, the healthy growth of crops is promoted, and the sustainability of agricultural production is improved.
The NAC gene family is a family of plant-specific transcription factors that are widely found in a variety of plants. NAC derives its name from the first three members of the family: no APICAL MERISTEM (NAM), arabidopsis Transcription Activation Factor (ATAF), and Cup-shaped cotyledon (CUC). The NAC family of genes plays an important role in plant growth, signaling, stress management, and the like. The NAC gene is involved in plant organ formation and differentiation, such as flower development, root system construction, leaf senescence, and the like. For example, the CUC gene plays a key role in plant embryogenesis and establishment of organ boundaries. NAC gene family members play an important role in plants responding to drought, salt and alkali, cold, pest and disease damage, and other biotic and abiotic stress. They help plants adapt to adverse environmental conditions by regulating the expression of downstream stress-related genes. In addition, members of the NAC gene family are also involved in plant hormone signaling pathways, such as auxins, gibberellins, ethylene, etc., that regulate plant growth and development by interacting with these hormones. Some NAC genes play a role in the immune response of plants and can enhance the resistance of plants to pathogens. These genes may increase disease resistance in plants by activating the expression of defense-related genes. Due to their multiple functions in plant physiology and stress response, the NAC gene families become important targets for plant molecular breeding and genetic engineering. By manipulating the expression of the NAC gene, scientists can develop crops with improved properties, such as increased drought resistance, increased pest protection or improved growth habit.
Thus, improvement of wheat inflorescences is key to achieving high yield, high quality, high efficiency and sustainable development of wheat, while NAC transcription factor family plays an important role therein. Thus, by studying the wheat NAC transcription factor family genes, one can better understand the important role of NAC genes in the development of wheat, especially in the development of ears. And further, by means of modern breeding technology such as molecular marker assisted selection, gene editing and the like, wheat varieties are improved more accurately, and high-yield wheat varieties with more excellent wheat inflorescence structures and more florets are obtained, so that the ever-increasing global grain requirements are met, and the ever-changing environmental challenges are met. Has great significance for the long-term stable development and safety of grain production in China, knows and finds out genes more related to wheat ear development, and has great significance for researching the functions of wheat inflorescence development from a molecular level.

EXAMPLE 1 cloning of the TaNAC22-A1 Gene and amino acid sequence analysis thereof

The results indicate that the coding sequence of the wheat TaNAC22-A1 gene comprises 1017bp bases (fig. 1A) and the encoded protein comprises 339 amino acids (fig. 1B). The specific primers used were:
P1-F:5′-ATGGAGGTCGATCAGGACCT-3′;
P1-R:5′-TTAATATAGCAGATGGGCGT-3′;
EXAMPLE 2 TaNAC22-A1 Gene subcellular localization
In order to explore the characteristics of the TaNAC22-A1 transcription factor, the inventors constructed the gene subcellular GFP vector pSuper-GFP-TaNAC22-A1, and the specific procedure is briefly described below.
First, a primer having a restriction enzyme EcoRI cleavage site was designed, and the sequence was as follows:
P1-EcoR I-F:5′-CGGAATTCATGGAGGTCGATCAGGACCT-3′;
P1-EcoR I-R:5′-CGGAATTCTTAATATAGCAGATGGGCGT-3′;

Thirdly, carrying out single enzyme digestion on the pSuper-GFP vector by adopting EcoR I, and purifying enzyme digestion products;
Fourthly, carrying out homologous recombination connection on the PCR amplification product and the vector after enzyme digestion to construct a pSuper-GFP-TaNAC22-A1 subcellular localization vector;
fifthly, converting the connection product into escherichia coli DH5 alpha by adopting a heat shock conversion method, carrying out resistance screening of A (ampicillin, 50 mug/mL), selecting positive colonies for PCR detection, amplifying and sequencing correct colonies identified by the PCR detection, and extracting plasmids from bacterial liquid with correct sequencing for later use;
Sixth, the extracted plasmid is transformed into agrobacterium GV3101 to infect tobacco leaves, and after dark culture for 3 days, the tobacco leaves are observed and photographed under a fluorescence microscope.
The TaNAC22-A1 gene, which is a transcription factor, is localized in the nucleus, as shown in fig. 2. It was demonstrated that the TaNAC22-A1 gene may function as a transcription factor in the nucleus, activating or inhibiting expression of downstream genes, involved in regulating the number of florets in wheat ear development.
Example 2 TaNAC22-A1 Gene deletion verifies its function in the number of flowers in wheat ears
To analyze whether the TaNAC22-A1 gene is involved in the process of determining the number of flowers in the development of wheat ears, the expression pattern of the TaNAC22-A1 gene was first analyzed. The TaNAC22-A1 gene is expressed in roots, stems, leaves, ears, florets and seeds of wheat, and the expression amount is highest in the ears and the florets, so that the result shows that the TaNAC22-A1 gene can be involved in determining the number of florets in the development process of the wheat ears.
To further analyze the function of TaNAC22-A1 gene in participating in the number of flowers in the development process of wheat ears, tanac-A1 mutants were screened, and the inventors identified homozygous mutants. It was found that under normal growth conditions, the Tanac-A1 mutant had slightly increased plant height, no obvious difference in inflorescence length and significantly increased flower number in the spikelet (FIG. 3). The inflorescence early-development material was dissected, and the number of the floret primordia of Tanac-A1 mutant plants was found to be about 4 more than that of the wild type plants (FIG. 4). The number of spikelet flowers of Tanac-A1 mutants was about 8-10, significantly increased compared to the wild type (about 3-5 spikelet flowers) at late inflorescence development. The TaNAC22-A1 gene plays an important role in determining the number of flowers in the development process of wheat ears.
Further, we screened the gRNA targeting TaNAC22-A1 gene, constructed CRISPR knockout transgene material, obtained Tanac-A1-CR gene editing material. Material early in the development of the anatomic Tanac-A1-CR inflorescence was found to have 3-4 more floret primordia than wild-type for Tanac-A1-CR material (FIG. 4). Further described is the involvement of the TaNAC22-A1 gene in determining the number of florets during wheat ear development.
In summary, the number of wheat spikelet florets after deletion of the TaNAC22-A1 gene is obviously increased, which indicates that the TaNAC22-A1 gene negatively regulates the number of wheat spikelet florets; after the transgenic CRISPR knocks out the TaNAC22-A1 gene, the number of the small flowers is also obviously increased, and the same shows that the TaNAC22-A1 gene negatively regulates the number of the small flowers of the wheat. Therefore, the TaNAC22-A1 gene plays an important role in regulating and controlling the number of small flowers of wheat, and has important significance for cultivating excellent inflorescence structure and high-yield wheat.
The above-mentioned embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, which are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and other embodiments can be easily made by those skilled in the art through substitution or modification according to the technical disclosure in the present specification, so that all changes and modifications made in the principle of the present invention shall be included in the scope of the present invention.
