拟南芥GH3.9基因的过表达及其表型分析

为研究GH3.9基因在植物生长发育过程中的作用,利用RT-PCR成功克隆到GH3.9基因,该基因全长为1 750bp。通过构建pEGAD-GH3.9过表达载体转化拟南芥,获得过表达GH3.9基因纯系转基因株系GH3.9ox-3和GH3.9ox-7。对拟南芥野生型(WT)和转基因株系(GH3.9ox-3和GH3.9ox-7)幼苗用不同光强和光质进行处理,结果显示:在蓝光、红光、远红光等不同光照强度下培养,过表达株系幼苗下胚轴的生长均明显受到抑制,且较野生型明显;采用不同光周期处理拟南芥幼苗,过表达幼苗下胚轴的伸长明显低于野生型;对成年植株表型进行观察,发现过表达株系植株矮小、雄蕊变短、果荚短小。研究表明:GH3.9基因参与了拟南芥生长发育调控,过表达GH3.9基因对拟南芥生长有抑制作用。

Overexpression and Phenotype Analysis of GH3.9 Gene in Arabidopsis thaliana

To investigate the role of GH3.9 in plant growth and development,we cloned the 1 750 bp full-length gene with RT-PCR method and obtained GH3.9ox-3 and GH3.9ox-9 pure lines of Arabidopsis thaliana by constructing pEGAD-GH3.9 overexpression vector and transforming A.thaliana.After treating the sowed wild-type and mutant seeds (GH3.9ox-3 and GH3.9ox-9) with blue,red and far-red light at different intensity,we found that:the growth of hypocotyls in the mutants was more sensitive to the strong light suppression comparing with wild-type.Moreover,the hypocotyls of mutants appeared to grow slower when treated different forms of white light.The mutants plant sizes and silique sizes appeared smaller.The results indicate that GH3.9 gene might play an important role in the growth and development of plants.
