摘要: 亚麻是一种重要的纤维作物,具有优异的纺织性能,它也是研究韧皮纤维发育的模式植物。纤维发育受基因的协同调控尤其是NACNAMATAF1/2CUC2)转录因子纤维次生细胞壁形成过程中发挥着重要作用。在亚麻中过表达LuNAC61导致转基因植株较野生型植株顶部分生组织区叶片稀疏,茎纤维素含量显著降低。通过扫描电镜和染色观察发现过表达植株纤维束较野生型明显减少。GUS染色分析显示LuNAC61启动子在亚麻茎韧皮纤维中具有高活性。此外,LuPLATZLuCesA家族的几个成员表现出与LuNAC61的显著共表达关系。亚细胞定位表明LuPLATZ24蛋白存在于细胞核和细胞质中,LuNAC61蛋白仅存在于细胞核中,LuCesA10蛋白存在于细胞核及内质网中。双荧光素酶报告基因实验结果揭示LuPLATZ24促进LuNAC61表达,而LuNAC61抑制LuCesA10表达由此推测该代谢网络很有可能参与调节亚麻纤维发育。研究为全面深入分析亚麻纤维发的机制以及利用生物技术手段提高亚麻纤维产量奠定了重要的基础

Abstract: Flax is a crucial fiber crop that exhibits excellent textile properties and serves as a model plant for investigating phloem fiber development.  The regulation of multiple genes significantly influences fiber development, notably involving NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, CUC2) transcription factors in forming the fiber secondary cell wall (SCW).  Overexpression of LuNAC61 in flax resulted in sparse top meristematic zone leaves and significantly reduced stem cellulose content.  Scanning electron microscopy and staining observations revealed a significant reduction in fiber bundles.  β-Glucuronidase (GUS) staining analysis demonstrated high activity of the LuNAC61 promoter in the bast fibers of the flax stem.  Additionally, several members of the LuPLATZ and LuCesA families exhibited significant coexpression with LuNAC61.  Subcellular localization indicated the presence of LuPLATZ24 protein in the nucleus and cytoplasm, LuNAC61 protein exclusively in the nucleus, and LuCesA10 in the nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum.  LuPLATZ24 positively regulates LuNAC61, whereas LuNAC61 negatively affects LuCesA10, suggesting the involvement of a metabolic network in regulating flax fiber development.  In conclusion, this study provides a critical opportunity for a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the mechanisms governing flax fiber development and the potential use of biotechnology to enhance flax fiber yield.
