水稻T-DNA插入突变体库的筛选及遗传分析

T-DNA标签技术是分离和研究植物功能基因的有效方法,寻找T-DNA插入表型突变体是进一步开展研究的关键所在。文章对以ZH11、ZH15为受体亲本构建的4416份T,代标签系进行了表型鉴定,发现存在拟纯合突变和系内分离突变两种类型,突变表型涉及株高、生育期、叶形、叶色、分蘖力、植株松紧度、穗颈节、穗形、颖花、粒形、类病变、雄性不育、生长极性等14类性状。其中,株高、生育期、叶色、雄性不育有着相对较高的突变频率（超过1％）,株高和叶色的突变频率在品种及年度间表现稳定,而生育期、雄性不育波动较大,表明这类性状的表型易受到环境的影响。通过T1、T2连续世代的共分离分析,筛选出3个与穗部或颖花发育相关的T-DNA插入突变体,为分离相关功能基因奠定基础。随机选择42份有表型突变的标签系,通过质粒拯救和TAIL-PCR的方法分离其侧翼序列,从39个标签系中获得40条序列,其中25条为载体序列,14条与水稻基因组有很好的同源性,BlastN分析结果表明T-DNA有优先整合进植物功能基因内部的特性。

RNAi 在植物功能基因组中的应用

植物生物学后基因组时代的主要目标就是确定植物基因组中所有基因所具有的功能。解决这个问题的一个最直接的方法就是还原或者敲除某个在正常条件下其功能能表达出一定的可观察到的表型的特殊基因。对于这方面的研究,插入突变技术就是一个可用的工具,但是基因的随机性,致死敲除,无标记的突变体都大大地限制了这种技术的利用。RNm技术可以克服以上那些难题。它已经被广泛地应用在线虫的功能基因组上,并且所获得的有效资源还被广泛地用于植物功能基因组的分析。

Genetic resources offer efficient tools for rice functional genomics research

Rice is an important crop and major model plant for monocot functional genomics studies. With the establishment of various genetic resources for rice genomics, the next challenge is to systematically assign functions to predicted genes in the rice genome. Compared with the robustness of genome sequencing and bioinformatics techniques, progress in understanding the function of rice genes has lagged, hampering the utilization of rice genes for cereal crop improvement. The use of transfer DNA (T‐DNA) insertional mutagenesis offers the advantage of uniform distribution throughout the rice genome, but preferentially in gene‐rich regions, resulting in direct gene knockout or activation of genes within 20–30 kb up‐ and downstream of the T‐DNA insertion site and high gene tagging efficiency. Here, we summarize the recent progress in functional genomics using the T‐DNA‐tagged rice mutant population. We also discuss important features of T‐DNA activation‐ and knockout‐tagging and promoter‐trapping of the rice genome in relation to mutant and candidate gene characterizations and how to more efficiently utilize rice mutant populations and datasets for high‐throughput functional genomics and phenomics studies by forward and reverse genetics approaches. These studies may facilitate the translation of rice functional genomics research to improvements of rice and other cereal crops.     

Screening for mutations affecting sexual reproduction after activation tagging inArabidopsis thaliana

In this work, a seed-set-based screening was performed on 70 lines of Arabidopsis thaliana after activation tagging mutagenesis to identify mutations in reproductive mechanisms. Five mutants showed significantly lower seed set than the wild type and confirmed the phenotype in the progeny. This phenotype was linked with the marker gene bar carried by T-DNA conferring glufosinate resistance. Genetic analysis revealed that the mutation inheritance was sporophytic in 3 mutants and gametophytic in 2 mutants. In addition, 2 mutants had an extra T-DNA copy. Thus activation tagging can be an effective strategy to identify new mutations affecting sporogenesis or gametogenesis.     

Screening for and Genetic Analysis on T-DNA-inserted Mutant Pool in Rice

T-DNA tagging technique has provided a powerful strategy for identifying new functional genes in plants, and the key for success is the discovery of T-DNA-inserted mutants with changed phenotype. In this study, we screened 4 416 rice T₁ tagged lines generated by enhancer trap system integrated with GLL4/VP16-UAS elements from two transformed parents, ZH11 and ZH15. We found many lines showed obvious morphological mutations, including two types—fake-homozygous mutation and separating mutation. The mutation phenotype was related to 14 kinds of trait such as plant height, heading date, leaf shape, leaf color, tiller number, panicle shape, spikelet number, grain shape, disease-like mutation, male sterility, awn, and so on. Among them, plant height, heading date, leaf color and male sterility had a comparatively high mutation frequency (over 1%). The mutation frequency of plant height and leaf color had no significant change between different years or transformed parents, but the frequency of heading date and male sterility varied greatly, suggesting that environment had a great effect on the expression of latter two traits. By conducting continuously co-segregating analyses in T₁ and T₂ generation, we identified 3 T-DNA-inserted mutants with malformed panicle or spikelets, which would provide a base for cloning correlative functional genes. At the same time, we selected randomly 42 lines with mutation phenotype and obtained 40 flanking sequences from 39 tagged lines by plasmid rescue or TAIL-PCR, of which, 26 were vector backbone sequence, 14 had good identity to rice genome sequence. The BlastN result showed the T-DNA preferentially integrated into protein-coding region in plants.
