黄瓜扩张蛋白基因CsEXP10的克隆与表达

以cDNA-AFLP差示片段的序列（CO434610）为基础,通过RACE延伸和与EST序列拼接,得到长度为1191bp的、包含完整3’末端的CsEXP10基因cDNA序列。Southern杂交结果表明,该基因在黄瓜基因组中以单拷贝形式存在．RT-PCR检测发现,该基因不在根、茎和叶中表达,而在果实中表达．Northern杂交显示,该基因在授粉后迅速生长的幼果中丰量表达,而在幼小子房、开花当天的未授粉子房和生长停止的果实中不表达,由此推测CsEXP10基因与授粉后黄瓜果实膨大生长有密切关系。

生长素结合蛋白基因在黄瓜果实发育中的功能研究

应用逆转录-聚合酶链式反应(RT-PCR),从黄瓜子房(幼果)中扩增出生长素结合蛋白(ABP1)cDNA片段.该基因在开花前1天的子房中表达信号较弱,在授粉后2、4和6天的幼果中表达较强;在开花后2天有单性结实能力的子房中表达信号较强,不能形成果实的子房中信号较弱,所以ABP1基因可能参与黄瓜果实的生长发育过程.将拟南芥ABP1基因转入黄瓜中,转基因黄瓜的单性结实率平均为31.7%,高于对照(19.9%).由于黄瓜的单性结实主要与生长素有关,所以,转基因植株单性结实率的提高可能是由于子房增强了对自身所含生长素的敏感性所致,说明生长素结合蛋白参与生长素在黄瓜果实生长发育中的生理作用.

Detection of expansin proteins and activity during tomato fruit ontogeny

Expansins are plant proteins that have the capacity to induce extension in isolated cell walls and are thought to mediate pH-dependent cell expansion. J.K.C. Rose, H.H. Lee, and A.B. Bennett ([1997] Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 94: 5955-5960) reported the identification of an expansin gene (LeExp1) that is specifically expressed in ripening tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) fruit where cell wall disassembly, but not cell expansion, is prominent. Expansin expression during fruit ontogeny was examined using antibodies raised to recombinant LeExp1 or a cell elongation-related expansin from cucumber (CsExp1). The LeExp1 antiserum detected expansins in extracts from ripe, but not preripe tomato fruit, in agreement with the pattern of LeExp1 mRNA accumulation. In contrast, antibodies to CsExp1 cross-reacted with expansins in early fruit development and the onset of ripening, but not at a later ripening stage. These data suggest that ripening-related and expansion-related expansin proteins have distinct antigenic epitopes despite overall high sequence identity. Expansin proteins were detected in a range of fruit species and showed considerable variation in abundance; however, appreciable levels of expansin were not present in fruit of the rin or Nr tomato mutants that exhibit delayed and reduced softening. LeExp1 protein accumulation was ethylene-regulated and matched the previously described expression of mRNA, suggesting that expression is not regulated at the level of translation. We report the first detection of expansin activity in several stages of fruit development and while characteristic creep activity was detected in young and developing tomato fruit and in ripe pear, avocado, and pepper, creep activity in ripe tomato showed qualitative differences, suggesting both hydrolytic and expansin activities.     

Expression of six expansin genes in relation to extension activity in developing strawberry fruit.

Expansins are proteins which have been demonstrated to induce cell wall extension in vitro. The identification and characterization of six expansin cDNAs from strawberry fruit, termed FaExp3 to FaExp7, as well as the previously identified FaExp2 is reported here. Analysis of expansin mRNAs during fruit development and in leaves, roots and stolons revealed a unique pattern of expression for each cDNA. FaExp3 mRNA was present at much lower levels than the other expansin mRNAs and was expressed in small green fruit and in ripe fruit. FaExp4 mRNA was present throughout fruit development, but was more strongly expressed during ripening. FaExp5 was the only clone to show fruit specific expression which was up-regulated at the onset of ripening. FaExp6 and FaExp7 mRNAs were present at low levels in the fruit with highest expression in stolon tissue. During fruit development FaExp6 had the highest expression at the white, turning and orange stages whereas expression of FaExp7 was highest in white fruit. The expression profiles of FaExp2 and FaExp5 in developing fruit were similar except that FaExp2 was induced at an earlier stage. Analysis of expansin protein by Western blotting using an antibody raised against CsExp1 from cucumber hypocotyls identified two bands of 29 and 31 kDa from developing fruit. Protein extracts from developing fruit were assayed for extension activity. Considerable rates of extension were observed with extracts from ripening fruit, but no extension was observed with protein from unripe green fruit. These results demonstrate the presence of at least six expansin genes in strawberry fruit and that during ripening the fruit acquires the ability to cause extension in vitro, characteristic of expansin action.

Differential expression of seven alpha-expansin genes during growth and ripening of pear fruit

Seven cDNAs, designated PcExp1 to PcExp7 , encoding expansin homologues, were isolated from mature pear fruit and their expression profiles were investigated in ripening fruit and other tissues, and in response to ethylene. Accumulation of PcExp2 , - 3, - 5 and - 6 mRNA increased markedly with fruit softening and then declined at the over-ripe stage. Treatment of fruit at an early ripening stage with 1-methylcyclopropene (MCP), an inhibitor of ethylene action, suppressed ethylene biosynthesis, fruit softening and the accumulation of the expansin mRNAs. Conversely, propylene treatment at the preclimacteric stage induced accumulation of the same four expansin genes, as well as ethylene production and fruit softening. The expression patterns correlated with alteration in the rate and extent of fruit softening. The abundance of PcExp1 mRNA increased at the late expanding phase of fruit development and further increased during ripening, whereas PcExp4 mRNA levels were constant throughout fruit growth and ripening. The MCP and propylene treatments had little effect on PcExp1 and PcExp4 expression. PcExp7 was expressed in young but not mature fruit. PcExp4 and PcExp6 mRNA was also detected in flowers. The accumulation of PcExp4, -5, -6 and - 7 mRNA was more abundant in young growing tissues, but not in fully expanded tissues, suggesting roles for these genes in cell expansion. These results demonstrate that characteristically, multiple expansin genes show differential expression and hormonal regulation during pear fruit development and at least six expansins show overlapping expression during ripening.
