摘要: 淀粉是谷物胚乳中最重要的成分,其合成受到多种转录因子的调控。然而,这些转录因子在谷物之间是否具有保守功能尚不清楚。本研究依据玉米(Zea mays L.)的同源基因,克隆了属于一个B3家族的转录因子,命名为TaABI19。DNA和蛋白质序列比对分析,发现ABI19在玉米和小麦中具有保守性。TaABI19在小麦幼穗和发育的籽粒中高表达,编码一个核定位的转录激活子。EMS诱变获得的taabi19-b1突变体表现为淀粉合成下调、粒长变短和千粒重降低。此外,我们还发现TaABI19能够结合到TaPBF亚基因组同源基因的启动子上并增强其表达。单倍型关联表明,TaABI19-B1与千粒重显著相关。TaABI19-B1-Hap2-Hap3在中国小麦育种中被正向选择。在现代栽培品种中,TaABI19的优异单倍型比例不足50%,表明TaABI19仍可作为标记辅助选择育种的目标位点,提高我国小麦产量。

Abstract: Starch is the most important component in endosperm, and its synthesis is regulated by multiple transcription factors (TFs) in cereals. However, whether the functions of these TFs are conserved or not among cereals unclear yet. Here, we cloned a B3 family TF, named as TaABI19 based on its orthologous in maize (Zea mays L.). Alignment of DNA and protein showed that ABI19 was conserved in maize and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). We found that TaABI19 was highly expressed in young spike and developing grains and encoded a nucleus-localized transcriptional activator in wheat. The taabi19-b1 null mutants obtained by EMS performed down-regulation of starch synthesis, shorter grain length and lower thousand grain weight (TGW). Furthermore, we provided TaABI19 could bind to the promoters of TaPBF homology genes and enhance their expression. Haplotype association showed that TaABI19-B1 was significantly associated with TGW. We found that Hap2 and Hap3 were favored and underwent positive selection in China wheat breeding. Less than fifty percent in the modern cultivars conveying favored haplotypes indicates TaABI19 still can be considered as target loci for marker-assisted selection breeding to increase TGW in China.
