摘要:

【目的】 水稻颖花开裂突变体sg2split glume 2)来源于三明市农业科学研究院自主选育的恢复系GK1327高世代育种群体的自然突变,通过对其颖花开裂基因OsSG2Oryza sativa Split Glume 2)进行遗传学分析、图位克隆和功能验证,为进一步开展OsSG2在水稻花器官发育中的功能研究奠定基础和提供重要种质资源。【方法】 通过对突变体sg2颖花进行形态特征解剖观察,分析其花器官发育突变特点。通过对野生型WT(GK1327)与突变体sg2表型和农艺性状进行调查,以及花粉在I2-KI溶液中的染色观察,分析该突变表型对主要产量性状和花粉育性的影响。利用突变体sg2分别与野生型WT和9311杂交,构建多个F2分离群体,对OsSG2进行遗传学分析和物理定位。采用集群分离分析法(bulked segregant analysis,BSA)和二代测序(next-generation sequencing,NGS)相结合的BSA-seq技术,以及半定量PCR和实时荧光定量PCR对候选基因进行筛选和表达模式分析。结合PCR扩增和测序技术对候选基因进行克隆和序列分析。通过CRISPR-Cas9基因编辑技术和转基因互补试验对OsSG2候选基因进行功能验证。【结果】 该突变体在生殖生长时期花器官发育出现明显异常,其颖花内外稃片瘪弱,表现出不同程度的扭曲变形,且开裂不抱合表型,穗部颖花发育不正常的比例达到100%。相比野生型,突变体sg2结实率和千粒重显著降低,种子萌发率显著下降,花粉育性未出现明显异常。遗传分析表明,sg2突变表型由单个细胞核隐性基因控制。通过图位克隆技术,将OsSG2精细定位在水稻第3染色体短臂端,位于2个InDel(insertion/deletion)标记InDel-12083和InDel-17610之间,物理距离为919.85 kb,该区间共注释75个开放阅读框(open read frames,ORFs)。利用BSA-seq技术,鉴定到一个潜在的OsSG2候选基因LOC_Os03g11614,该基因编码一个定位于细胞核的OsMADS1转录因子。表达和序列分析表明,相比野生型,LOC_Os03g11614在突变体sg2抽穗期幼穗中的表达水平极显著下调,且该基因编码序列(coding sequence,CDS)在突变体中发生单个核苷酸多态性(single nucleotide polymorphism,SNP)突变,即LOC_Os03g11614第1外显子第3个碱基由G突变为A,导致其起始密码子由ATG突变为ATA,进而影响该基因的转录表达和相应蛋白OsMADS1的结构和功能。CRISPR-Cas9基因编辑技术和功能互补试验进一步证实候选基因LOC_Os03g11614即为OsSG2。【结论】 鉴定并克隆获得的水稻颖花开裂基因OsSG2为一个新的OsMADS1等位突变基因。

Abstract:

【Objective】 The sg2 (split glume 2) is a naturally occurring rice mutant derived from an advanced-generation breeding population of the restorer line GK1327 originating from the Sanming Academy of Agricultural Sciences (SAAS). In this work, the OsSG2 (Oryza sativa Split Glume 2) gene in the mutant was performed to conduct genetic analysis, map-based cloning and functional verification, which will provide a theoretical basis and an important germplasm resource for further study on the function of OsSG2 in the development of rice floral organs.【Method】 The morphological characteristics of the sg2 mutant florets were anatomically observed to analyze the features of floral organ development. By investigating the phenotypic and agronomic characteristics of wild-type GK1327 and sg2 mutant, and observing the pollen staining in I2-KI, the effects of the mutant phenotype on yield-related traits and pollen fertility were analyzed. The F2 populations developed by crossing sg2 mutant with wild-type GK1327 and 9311, respectively, were used to perform genetic analysis and physical mapping of the OsSG2. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) combined with next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology (BSA-seq) was used to screen the candidate genes of OsSG2, and a combination of RT-PCR (reverse-transcription PCR) and qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time PCR) was performed to analyze their expression patterns. The OsSG2 candidate genes were cloned and sequenced by PCR amplification and sequencing approaches, and the functional verification was conducted by knockout using CRISPR-cas9 and a complementation test.【Result】 The sg2 mutant exhibited an abnormal spikelet phenotype at the reproductive stage, the palea and lemma of florets were weak, distorted, and dehiscent, and with the proportion of abnormal florets in the panicles were 100%. Compared with the wild-type GK1327, the seed setting rate, the 1000-grain weight, and the seed germination rate of sg2 mutant were markedly lower, whereas the pollen fertility was normal. Genetic analysis demonstrated that a recessive nuclear gene was responsible for the mutant phenotype of sg2. A map-based cloning strategy delimited OsSG2 to a 919.85 kb physical interval on the short arm of chromosome 3, flanked by two InDel (insertion/deletion) markers, InDel-12083 and InDel-17610, that included 75 putative ORFs (open read frames). Moreover, a BSA-seq technology identified a potential candidate gene LOC_Os03g11614 as the OsSG2 gene, which encodes an OsMADS1 transcription factor localized to the nucleus. Expression and sequence analyses revealed that the transcript levels of LOC_Os03g11614 were markedly lower in young panicles of the sg2 mutant compared with those in the wild-type GK1327 during the flowering stage, and a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) mutation (G-A) was identified at the third nucleotide position of exon 1 in the LOC_Os03g11614, resulting in the change of the start codon from ATG to ATA, which caused a transcriptional suppression of LOC_Os03g11614 and a functional loss of the OsMADS1 protein. These results further supported the tentative identification of LOC_Os03g11614 as the candidate OsSG2 gene, which was confirmed by knockout using CRISPR-cas9 and a functional complementation test.【Conclusion】 The split glume gene OsSG2, which was successfully isolated from sg2 mutant in this work, was identified as a new allele of OsMADS1 in rice.
