摘要: Gibberellic Acid-Stimulated ArabidopsisGASA)基因家族广泛参与了基因表达调控和植物生长发育及胁迫反应。为了研究枇杷GASA基因在植物生长发育调控中的功能,我们克隆了一个与拟南芥AtGASA6同源的枇杷EjGASA6基因。通过对受赤霉素诱导的EjGASA6基因进行异源表达,发现转基因植株开花时间提前,主根变长,这些表型特征与赤霉素含量增加有关。转录组和qRT-PCR分析结果显示,编码赤霉素生物合成关键酶的GA3ox1GA20ox1基因的表达量显著升高。此外,通过双荧光素酶实验我们证实了EjGASA6可以增强GA20ox1的启动子活性。综上,我们的研究结果表明,EjGASA6通过正调控赤霉素的生物合成来提前开花时间和促进主根伸长。该研究结果拓宽了对GASAs在植物发育和生长中的作用的认识,为进一步研究EjGASA6在枇杷生长和发育中的调节功能奠定了基础。

Abstract:

The Gibberellic Acid-stimulated Arabidopsis (GASA) gene family is involved in the regulation of gene expression and plant growth, development, and stress responses.  To investigate the function of loquat GASA genes in the growth and developmental regulation of plants, a loquat EjGASA6 gene homologous to Arabidopsis AtGASA6 was cloned.  EjGASA6 expression was induced by gibberellin, and ectopic transgenic plants containing this gene exhibited earlier bloom and longer primary roots since these phenotypic characteristics are related to higher gibberellin content.  Transcriptome analysis and qRT-PCR results showed that the expression levels of GA3ox1 and GA20ox1, which encode key enzymes in gibberellin biosynthesis, were significantly increased.  Furthermore, we confirmed that EjGASA6 could promote the expression of GA20ox1 via the luciferase reporter system.  Overall, our results suggest that EjGASA6 promotes blooming and main-root elongation by positively regulating gibberellin biosynthesis.  These findings broaden our understanding of the role of GASAs in plant development and growth, and lay the groundwork for future research into the functions of EjGASA6 in regulating loquat growth and development.
