Definitions
- the present invention relates to genetic markers associated with better digestibility of fodder plants, and in particular to variants of the second isoform of Caféoyl Coenzyme-A 3-0 M yl Transferase (CCoAOMT-2) improving the digestibility of plants which contain them.
- Lignins establish different types of links with the other parietal constituents and form a tight mesh which hinders the accessibility of carbohydrates, the main sources of energy for herbivores, to digestive enzymes.
- one of the preferred ways of improving the qualities of fodder plants concerns the selection or production by genetic engineering of less lignified or modified lignin plants.
- the corn silage which is one of the fodder plants whose use is most widespread, especially in the context of production dairy. It has thus been observed that a reduction in the lignin content leads to a large improvement in the digestibility of the corn silage, which results in an increase in milk production and in weight gain compared to the animals fed. with a less digestible variety (EMILE, Annales de zootechnies, 1995).
- Corn mutants are known, known as "bro n midrib", which have a greatly reduced lignin content.
- bm3 maize has drawbacks limiting their exploitation, such as a lower field yield, increased susceptibility to lodging, a lack of growth and vigor at the start of vegetation and a delay in flowering (BARRIERE and ARGILLIER, Agronomie, 13, 865-876, 1993).
- O-methyl transferases (S-adenosyl-L-methionine O-methyltransferases, EC 2.1.1.6) play an important role in the biosynthesis of monolignols. Although the mechanisms involved in vivo in this biosynthetic pathway are not completely understood, it is generally considered that the formation of the S and G subunits involves successive hydroxylation and O-methylation reactions followed by conversion of the carboxyl side chain in an alcohol function.
- the enzymes involved in this biosynthetic pathway include:
- O-methyltransferases caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT); 5-hydroxyconiferyl aldehyde O-methyl transferase (AldOMT); Caféoyl Coenzyme A 3-0 methyltransferases (CCoAOMT)
- cytochrome P450 ferulate 5-hydroxylase (F5H) - and several isoforms of Cinnamoyl Co A reductase (CCR) and Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD).
- the Caféoyl Coenzyme-A O-Methyltransferases play a major role in the biosynthetic pathway of monolignols and more particularly of the G and S subunits; they seem to intervene during several stages of the lignin biosynthetic pathway (GUO et al., Plant Cell, 13, 73-88, 2001), and it has been observed that CCoAOMT activity is closely linked to the lignification of tissues in a number of dicotyledonous species (ZHONG et al., Plant Cell, 10, 2033-2045, 1998).
- the sequence of the wild-type CCoAOMT2 gene used as a reference in the description of the present invention corresponds to the accession number AJ242981 on the basis of GenBank, and to that of CIVARDI et al. , Plant Physiol., 120, 1206, (1999).
- the CCOA0MT2 gene described by CIVARDI et al. was obtained from variety 64A; its sequence is shown in Figure 1.
- the fragment shown comprises 1181 base pairs and has 4 exons and 3 introns.
- the 5 'non-coding region of this sequence is defined by 70 base pairs.
- the intron splicing sites are as follows: for intron 1 (79 bp) AGGT .... GTA, for intron 2 (108 bp) TGGT ....
- F4 line Polymorphisms associated with increased corn digestibility have been identified on an allele of the CCoA0MT2 gene isolated from a corn line called F4.
- This F4 line has a very high level of digestibility, close to that of the bm3 lines, and, unlike these, produces lignins which are characterized by a significantly higher S / G ratio than that observed in lignins from varieties. corn silage classics.
- the allele of the CCoAOMT2 gene isolated from the F4 line is represented in the sequence list in the appendix under the number SEQ ID NO: 3.
- the subject of the present invention is a process for evaluating the digestibility of a fodder plant, and in particular corn, characterized in that it comprises the detection of the presence or absence, in biological material originating from said plant, with an allele favorable to the digestibility of the CCoAOMT 2 gene.

It may also be polymorphisms located in the 5 ′ non-coding region or in the introns of the CCoAOMT2 gene, or polymorphisms located in the coding regions but not resulting in a sequence modification of the CCoAOMT-2 protein. Indeed, although these polymorphisms do not appear to be directly involved in the CCoAOMT-2 mutation favorable to digestibility, they are however closely linked to it, and their presence therefore constitutes an indicator of the plant's digestibility.

- the marker chosen is the deletion of 9 nucleotides between nucleotides 86 and 87 of the sequence SEQ ID NO: 3 which corresponds to nucleotides 81 to 91 of the sequence SEQ ID NO: 1. 2 pairs of primers have been defined:
- the first is intended to allow selective amplification of the allele carrying the desired deletion. If this allele is not present in the sample, no amplification is observed.
- the second frames the location of the desired deletion. The presence or absence of an allele carrying this deletion is detected by the size of the amplification product.
- the first pair of primers includes: - a selective sense primer, located astride the location of the deletion. This sequence is represented by the sequence SEQ ID NO: 7; the first 4 bases of this sequence correspond to additional bases added to increase the melting temperature of the primer and therefore increase the specificity of the PCR; an antisense primer, non-selective: This primer, located immediately before the stop codon of the gene, is common to the various alleles of the CCoAOM 2 gene. Its sequence is represented under the number SEQ ID NO: 8.
- the second pair of primers comprises a sense primer defined by the sequence SEQ ID NO: 5 and an antisense primer defined by the sequence SEQ ID NO: 6. Each of these primer pairs was tested on genetic material obtained from lines E, D, F, G and F4 (30 ng of genomic DNA from each line).
- the PCR is carried out in a volume of 50 ⁇ l of mixture having the following composition:
- Matrix 30 ng genomic DNA primers: 0.2 ⁇ M from each dNTPs: 200 ⁇ M from each
- Buffer 5 ⁇ l of 10 X buffer containing 100 mM tris-HCl, 500 mM Kcl, 15 mM MgCl 2 and 0.01% gelatin pH: 8.3
- Polymerase REDTaq GENOMIC DNA POLYMERASE (SIGMA). 2.5 Units of polymerase are added to the 50 ⁇ l of reaction mixture.
- sense primer 5 min at 72 ° C.
- the results are illustrated in Figure 3:
- the first 5 deposits correspond to the amplifications obtained with the pair of primers SEQ ID NO: 7 and SEQ ID NO: 8 on the lines (from left to right) G (track 1), F (track 2), E (track 3), D (track 4) and F4 (track 5).
- the central deposit (lane 6) corresponds to the 1 kb molecular size marker.
- the last 5 deposits correspond to the positive controls, obtained with the pair of control primers SEQ ID NO: 1
- the line F4 is characterized by a clear band of approximately 1 kb, corresponding to the amplification product obtained with the primers SEQ ID NO: 7 and SEQ ID NO: 8.
- a clear band of approximately 1 kb, corresponding to the amplification product obtained with the primers SEQ ID NO: 7 and SEQ ID NO: 8.
- the bands have a very low intensity.
- Other experiments were carried out using a temperature of hybridization of the primers varying from 66 ° C to 68 ° C. The same amplification specificity was observed for the pair of primers SEQ ID NO: 7 and SEQ ID NO: 8. Amplification by the pair of primers SEQ ID NO: 5 and SEQ ID NO: 6
- the pair of primers defined by the sequences SEQ ID NO: 5 and SEQ ID NO: 6 was tested on the lines E, D, F, G and F4.
- the reaction medium is the same as that used above, but the reaction volume is doubled, ie 100 ⁇ l in order to be able to deposit 70 ⁇ l of the PCR product on a 4% agarose-metaphor (TEBU) gel supplemented with ethidium bromide. This gel has a high resolving capacity, making it possible to highlight a size difference of 4 bp for DNA fragments whose size is between 200 and 16 bp. Cycle:
- the migration takes place for 4 h at 90 V.
- the results are illustrated in Figure 4.
- the first deposit (lane 1) corresponds to the 100 bp molecular size marker.
- the CCoAOMT2 gene was obtained from cDNA extracted from this line by PCR amplification, using the primers SEQ ID NO: 8 and SEQ ID NO: 9.
- the cloning of the PCR fragments obtained corresponding to the coding region of CCoAOMT-2 was carried out using the PGEM-T EASY vector system according to the instructions of the supplier (PROMEGA).
- the PCR fragment is ligated into the vector pGEM-T EASY (PROMEGA).
- the competent E. coli JM109 bacteria (marketed by PROMEGA) are transformed using this construct.
- ISHIDA et al. (1996, supra) The transformation technique described by ISHIDA et al. (1996, supra) is used from embryos immature 10 days after fertilization. All the media used are described in this publication.
- a superbinary vector is constructed by homologous recombination between an intermediate vector (pBSll or pBS12) carrying a resistance marker, and into which has been previously inserted the mutated CCoAOMT2 gene excised from the pGEM-T EASY vector, and the pSB1 vector from JAPAN TOBACCO
- EP 672 752 which contains: the virB and virG genes of the plasmid pTiBo542 present in the supervirulent strain A281 of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (ATCC 37349).
- the vectors pBS11, pBS12, and pSB1 are described in Application EP 672 752 in the name of JAPAN TOBACCO.
- the transformation is carried out by bringing the immature embryos of the corn plants into contact for at least 5 minutes with Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA 4404 containing the superbinary vector.
- the embryos are then placed on LSAs medium for 3 days in the dark and at 25 ° C.
- a first selection is made on the transformed calluses: the embryogenic calluses are transferred to LSD5 medium containing phosphinotricin at 5 mg / 1 and cefotaxime at 250 mg / 1
- Agrobacterium tumefaciens This stage is carried out for 2 weeks in the dark and at 25 ° C.
- the second selection step is carried out by transfer of the embryos which have developed on LSD5 medium, on LSD10 medium (phosphinotricin to
